Isekai Creations
Vol. 1 Chapter. 4: The guilt

When she arrived at the city that gave her the trap mission, Zerlicia, irritated, approached the servant who served her and pulled her collar.

"A--What's up, C... Miss Namsaka.." the girl was terrified. The servant was afraid, even he did not dare to mention the nickname Zerlicia.

"What's wrong?! Do you know what I went through while working on this difficult mission!!?" Zerlicia shouted right in front of the receptionist's face (?) with a strong emotion.

"....?" Screaming in pain as his neck felt like it was suffocating, the guild receptionist shook his head while slightly trying to answer him with words.

Hearing that, all the people inside the guild office, immediately stood up and put up a standby mode and told Zerlicia to stop what she was doing right now! Zerlicia doesn't want more and more problems today. Therefore, he let go of the receptionist and then himself, charging a fee for the trap mission he had been on.

"I'm asking for my pay!" Zerlicia then handed the six bandit heads who attacked her to the receptionist. "To be honest, 1,000 gold coins isn't enough to pay for something I've been through, you know?"

"They...the real?" The receptionist heard the fear of opening a pouch filled with the heads of the bandits.

"Yes." Yeah."

After Zerlicia was done, the receptionist swallowed his saliva and immediately looked for the right money to pay Zerlicia. Zerlicia had thought that there were some other bandit gangs within the adventurer guild's office, but even so, Zerlicia had abandoned her intention to finish off the disguised bandits within the guild.

"I'm sorry, we only have 5,000. I hope it's the right payment" the receptionist said, bowing his head.

The receptionist looked like she was so sorry for her actions. Zerlicia did not know what the receptionist regretted but, until giving everything she had.

"I'll take half of it. Count it!"

"Eh?"

"Don't even uh! Count it!" Zerlicia slapped the table in front of her and the receptionist shuddering began to calculate what Zerlicia wanted.

After a while of waiting, Zerlicia got what she wanted. Then after that, Zerlicia was about to leave however....

"I'm really sorry. I don't know...."

"Well whatever, I'm sure you paid me with all the money you had for realizing that the mission I was running was a trap mission."

"I'm really sorry."

"It's okay..."

"As my apology... Please meet me tonight in front of this adventurer guild's office."

"Hmmm...."

Zerlicia didn't know what to do. He was afraid that the receptionist would trap him again, but it was not good to ignore the request of a person who asked to bend his body to a 90-degree angle.

Therefore, Zerlicia left at night. Exactly when the receptionist's working hours are over and replaced by someone else.

"I'm really sorry!" He bowed his body back when Zerlicia got there.

"Huh.so, what do you want to say?"

"Anu... My father owned this guild and. I inherited this guild from my father," he started a story...

"From this guild standing up, this kind of mistake was never committed by my father. When he started to get sick, I took care of this guild since 2 years ago."

"Now your father?" Zerlicia asked.

"He's gone" the receptionist replied in a sad tone.

"Thus, I truly apologize profusely to you, as well as to the adventurers who were lost while carrying out this mission. I don't know what happened but for sure, it's bad isn't it?

"Ah, let's change our place to my house."

It's uncomfortable to talk about big things in a public place. Therefore, they went to the receptionist house called Lein which was located behind the adventurer guild office in the city.

"You live alone in this big house?"

"Yes, my parents are no more. I'm alone..."

"What is there to marry?" Zerlicia was a little joking with Lein.

"It's impossible for me. I was too busy with the guild office. Every day I'm busy and don't have time for romance."

"Eh~. So, what do you want to say?"

"Ah that..." Lein left Zerlicia in her room. He went downstairs to get something. It was a sword made from extremely hard dragon scales.

"What's that?"

"please accepted. As my apology, I think it's appropriate, "Lein really feels guilty. He gave it to Zerlicia, a legendary weapon that his father inherited for himself.

"Then?"

"Not yet?!"

Here, Zerlicia slightly offended Lein who was trying to gain Zerlicia's trust back.

"But that's all I have..."

"Oh~" Zerlicia sighed.

"Well, what about my house?!"

"Where are you going to live?"

"The Adventurers guild office has a room on the second floor!"

"Still less!"

"Eh~"

It's starting to feel good for Zerlicia. Flirting with someone older than her, Zerlicia was delighted when toying with Lein who possessed such a trait.

"I'll give you the rest of the money you asked for, too!"

"...." - ".Zerlicia shook her head.

"Shirt? I'll sell all my clothes. And the money will I give you?!"

"Then what are you wearing?"

"Littery clothes...."

"I'll just take your clothes, but it's less!"

"Eh~" Lein again whined. Now he has nothing else he can give to Zerlicia who is having a shitty incident due to a trap mission.

"I...."

"Huh?"

"I'll give my life to you," he's been really desperate this time.

"Just...why don't you just give me the guild you run? With that you do not need to lose your pride and your life will not be in my grasp." Zerlicia began to feel that she had gone too far to play Lein.

"I can't. That guild can't fall into any other hands."

".... It's not... My father gave me his last will to defend the guild no matter what. Therefore.I will not subvert my guild!"

"In other words, you are willing, roughly speaking, to be my slave, is that it?"

"Yes..."

"Is that not outrageous?" Zerlicia asked and now, her heart started to feel anxious.

"No. Until now, I've made about 15 female adventurers disappear into the forbidden forest. Compared to those who were slaves elsewhere, I still could not pay my mistakes to them. Even though I am now your slave, I still cannot pay for my mistakes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes.is used to find instant money is also not a problem. So, I want you to be a representative for them. I want you to represent them to give me a life sentence."

"You mean to make money instantly?"

"Prostitution.if you think that's the punishment I deserve, I won't fight back. Soon we'll do the slave and owner contracts."

"...." - ".Zerlicia was completely at a loss for words and felt guilty for playing with this fragile Lein.

Lein assumed, all the female adventurers who disappeared were because of his actions. Lein assumed that after he gave missions related to the forbidden forest to the missing female adventurers, he did not stop blaming himself after realizing his mistake.

"Miss Namsaka?"

"Don't talk to me! I'm dizzy! Can I stay tonight?"

".... Is not this house now yours?"

".... Met night, sleep next to me."

"But?"

"I don't want to accept any complaints tonight! Good night~."

They also sleep side by side in a mattress that is wide enough to be worn by two teenage girls. The two slept soundly, as morning had come, as usual, Zerlicia woke up the first time. He woke up with messy hair. Indeed she never styled her hair every day however, she always cared about her bangs.

Upper hair is only combed and trimmed a little. For the rest, Zerlicia let them fall apart.

When she woke up, Zerlicia saw Lein sleeping soundly beside her, with her long hair, Lein fell asleep even though sometimes, Lein often delirious at night.

Zerlicia woke up three times a night to hear a moaning from Lein's mouth.

"Mnmmmm....?" Lein began to open his eyes, finally waking up from his slumber.

"Met morning.." as he woke up, Zerlicia greeted him with a beaming friendly smile.

"Sorry, Miss Namsaka, I should have gotten up earlier than you..." Lein then sat down slowly and after he had taken his whole life, Lein stood up and went to prepare for what he and Zerlicia needed today.

Given now, he was now Zerlicia's slave, so Lein had to behave like a slave to be told to even though Zerlicia had not told him to.

Perhaps because of reluctance, or still too soon for Zerlicia to know the system of slavery. In essence, Lein became a slave based on his own will.

"What cooking, Lein?" asked Zerlicia who saw Lein who was busy preparing food in the kitchen.

"Do you like, sandwich? Sorry, but that's all I have. If you don't like it, I'll...." Lein spoke excessively. Zerlicia doesn't seem to like Lein's current way of speaking. So, before Lein finished her sentence, Zerlicia touched her index finger to Lein's lips so that Lein would stop talking.

As she fell silent, Zerlicia opened her mouth and said with a smile, "I haven't had any thoughts of hiring you in that position, Lein. Maybe when my money's completely gone, I'll start using your services."

".....Miss, you're too good."

"Why? Don't you like it? Aren't you my slave, Lein?" zerlicia asked to ensure the determination of Lein who was determined to become Zerlicia's slave to make up for his mistakes.

"But..."

"Slaves must obey their master's orders, am I right? So therefore, Lein. I'll use you if I need you. Surely if we still insist on doing the slave contract and master, I am willing to be a good master."

"But...." Lein hesitated. He hesitated because he might be entitled to receive kindness from his Master despite being a slave.

"After all, it's not purely your fault. It also included the mistake of less vigilant adventurers. It's like when an adventurer dies, you know?"

"But...."

"Of course, they have no grudge against you, they have a grudge against the man who made a mission related to the forbidden forest. So, be yourself, by the way, I do not accept the annulment of the slavery contract," Zerlicia said with the intention of making Lein's heart calm again.

"...."

"How old are you?"

"21 of this year..."

"Yups, I'll hire you in that position if I really run out of my money."

"...."

"You know? It was strange to have a slave that was older than me. It's pretty weird because I have to act like a big brother even though I'm younger than you."

"Miss Namsaka!"

"Yes?"

"Please, from today on I am willing to be your slave completely so, I will obey everything you command. I don't care what he commands." said Lein with a cry in his eyes.

"Sure," Zerlicia smiled sweetly towards Lein who looked liberated in front of her.

Then after that, Zerlicia ate the breakfast that Lein made, a sandwich with various vegetables and a little meat in it. After finishing breakfast, the two went to an illegal slave trader located in a remote area of the city.

They both asked for a contract seal and asked for a slave and master contract to be made by that person. Until in the end, they both established master and slave contracts.

The contract will be declared successful when the slave receives the punishment for defying his master's orders. For example, when Zerlicia asked him to duck but he did not look down. In just about three seconds, Lein received a punishment for increased sexual desire.

When the slave received his punishment, their stomach would feel hot and then, they felt a strange sensation even though they did not play it.

And so in short, here, Zerlicia is willing to follow Lein's game because she feels guilty for playing Lein. He refused it, too, he could not afford it. If only Zerlicia refused Lein's offer to become his slave, Lein would automatically do something reckless to be able to repay his mistakes to the lost female adventurers.

After all, if it was just like this, Lein's life was not much different from his previous life. It was fortunate that Lein gave himself up to Zerlicia rather than being a slave and sold in the slave market.

"Anu, Miss Namsaka?" Lein approached Zerlicia who was relaxing while watching herself work.

"Zerlicia alone."

"Yes, so... are you sure you won't use me to make money?"

"Yes, after all, a job you don't like will only kill you mentally. So, I'm letting you do your day as you always do."

"You're too good."

"All right, let's get some money."

"Eh, he said you.. but, slaves must obey the orders of their owners huh?"

"I want to adventure. You stay here while watching in case there's one bandit in disguise in the middle of this adventurous adventurer."

"Good!"
