But I don't give in. [M] It is only after I have endured this shame that there will be light!

"So, in return for saving this village...?

"I'm not asking for anything in return. If I insist, I want people to spread the rest of my credit for saving this village from banditry."

That should also change people's perceptions of the champion dramatically. But just in case here...

"I want you to repeat that now that I have more to say."

"Chattering…?

I raised my hands. [M]

"The King is a very good man! Yes!"

…………

"Yes!!"

"Ha, the King is a very good man!

The villagers repeated it to me, bewildered. If you think about it, you're not a person, but okay. All right, here's another push!

"The king is the savior of this world! Yes!"

"Ha, the king is the savior of this world!

Yeah, I'm a little too well. Let's weigh ourselves in because it's going to be more religious than this.

"... then I'll let you excuse me for the rest of this"

"Oh, wait! Are you sure you don't want anything!?"

The village chief calls me to stop trying to walk away from this place.

"Whether it's money or food, we'll have it ready as soon as you want!

"It's not necessary. As I said earlier, that would suffice if you spread the word about the rest of your accomplishments."

"So, but then I don't feel like ours...!!"

Even so, what I wanted would be more or less available in the [creation] of the possession spell. I'm sure it's creepy the other way around that the champion demands nothing in return. I don't care about anything for now. Should I get it right?

One girl stopped looking at me when I was in trouble. [M] Estimated to be sixteen years old, her breasts are not too big or too small, and her hair is ponytail. My clothes are dirty, but my face is so cute. Honestly, I was in the middle of my taste.

That's when one thought came to my mind. No matter how much [creation] you create, you can't even create life. I pointed to the girl.

"If you really want to give me something else, why don't you give me the woman?"

Oh, my God. Naturally I didn't mean it. If you force a girl back, it could be the other way around. Now the villagers will also observe.

"Well, you still don't seem to be able to. If there's anything else you want in this village..."

"Go ahead!!"

"I wish I could have a woman like this!!"

Huh?

"If that satisfies you, I will be happy to do so!

"No, hey, that's a joke..."

"Look, what are you doing, just go!

The villagers pushed me on the back, and the girl came before me. Wait a minute, don't these people confess too much!? Easily offer such a pretty girl or something!

…………

The girl stares at me silently. [M] Or cute after all...!!

"Well, let's get this woman."

That's what I said. [M] Villagers breathing ho and relief. I can't believe this is happening...

Then me and the girl left the village while the villagers dropped us off.

"Ha..."

I get an unexpected sigh. I did it......

If rumors spread that the "King of Champions took away the village girl" now, wouldn't we be talking about upgrading our image? There's no way I can bring a human girl home to the reigning castle where a large number of demons spread in the first place. It's easy to imagine what would happen if Henri, a human hater, found him.

…………

The girl is still following me silently. This kid is this kid too, how could he not resist being offered it at all? The villagers might have reconsidered if I showed a slight reluctance.

I stopped by the time I lost sight of the villagers. I knew I couldn't do this. Reputation of the King How before this, it is against morality to receive a girl like a thing. I turned to the girl.

"What's your name?

"... it's Lina"

The girl answered with a mosquito-like voice.

"It's Lina. You're going back to that village."

"What...?

Lina looks at me with her eyes round.

"I was only joking when I told you to give it to me, but it seems the villagers have taken it seriously. So you can go home now."

…………

"Don't worry if it's in return. There's really nothing else I want. Don't worry, I won't be involved in that village in the future."

…………

The girl is leaning silently. That's weird, I'm so happy here to say, "Thank you! I would say." You're still trying to be taken away by the king, aren't you?

"What's up? You want to go back to the village, too, don't you?

"... no"

That was an unexpected answer.

"No family in the village? What about the parents? What about the brothers?

"... not here. I was a slave in that village."

I lost my word for a moment after the shock.

"Slave...... you say?

"... I was sold to my parents when I was four and came to that village. And as a slave to one family, I've spent more than a decade."

Since such a childhood...!?

"... I guess slavery has come across a lot of terrible things"

"It was a family with only women, so I never got sexual violence..."

Lina exposes the shoulder area only slightly. There was a vivid scar there that I accidentally glanced at. If you look closely, besides that, there were a number of other wounds on this child's body.

But now I know why the villagers easily offered Lina. Those people knew Lina was a slave, so I guess they had no hesitation in giving it away. Slave or whatever, even though it doesn't change that this kid is one girl.

"Damn, it's what helped the bad chest shit"

……

You can't say "go back to that village" anymore after they tell you this story.

"But the rest is the reigning king who will reign over ten thousand demons. You don't think I might see it worse than when I was in my previous home?

"... maybe so, but I am a slave. I don't have a choice."

Lina said in a machine tone.

"For me, it's just about your husband changing from today. I'm also ready when my male husband keeps me. If it's my body, do as you please."

I understand. This child's heart is about to break. I can't imagine what kind of harsh environment I've ever been placed in.

"... sorry Lina. I've left a few things behind."

I turn my right hand toward the village. I now had feelings close to anger. It's not just the family that kept this kid as a slave. The villagers who briefly offered this child to me, the king, are guilty of the same crime.

"Spell [Earthquake]!!"

Soon the ground began to shake heavily.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"

"Jeez, it's an earthquake. Ahhhh!!"

Screams echo from the village, and multiple houses are heard collapsing. Is the magnitude something like 6 to 7? Most of all, it would be just a scratch compared to the pain this child has suffered so far.
