Master and Slaves

"U... so... why... why... who... what are you!?"

"Eh? What do you..."

"So, how was it?"

"How much did you figure out?"

Helene and Freit interrupted my question and asked Sophia.

It felt like my words were constantly being cut off.

"So, right. Hiroyuki’s vessel of the soul... is bigger than ours, the elves."

"More specifically?"

"...I can’t tell."

"Hm, even a female elf can’t tell? Yet you said that so confidently."

"B-Because it’s so big...."

"Helene told me that Hiroyuki-dono’s birth is special, so it’s no surprise even if something happens. Now, about the debt you owe Master for insulting him, how will you settle it?"

Freit narrowed his eyes and pressured Sophia.

"Ah... u...."

Sophia’s eyes swam.

If she just apologized, it would be over, but....

Come to think of it, elves have high pride.

Haa.

"Freit-san, I’m sorry. I’ll apologize properly, so please forgive me. Helene too."

Isn’t this the right answer?

Sophia is my slave, after all.

It was only natural for me to apologize... I thought.

So I bowed to Freit and Helene.

"...You don’t have to apologize to me. There’s no need for Dules to bow their heads. What about you, Freit-sama?"

"...Well, I’ll forgive Hiroyuki-dono. Let’s put the anger away here. Please properly explain it to her."

"Yes. I’ll explain properly."

Huu.

The story was settled.

When I looked beside me, Sophia was teary-eyed, biting her lip and trembling.

I patted Sophia’s shoulder twice and urged her to go behind the sofa.

"Now, even though you put a water mark on me, let’s return to the story. Hiroyuki-dono’s vessel of the soul could not be measured even by Master, and what about the soul inside it?"

"It seemed larger than that of elves or giants, but apparently much less than the vessel."

Helene answered Freit’s question.

"I see. So it means you can produce more Dules."

...Hahaha, produce more?

"Then, that elf over there can also become a Dule?"

Freit asked Helene again.

"Right. Whether A-Dule or To-Dule, I think not even a tenth of it is filled."

"I see. So Master didn’t tell me about this."

"Yes. Even if the number of Dules you hold increases a little, it’s completely fine."

I wanted to hear more about that system, though.

When I turned to Helene, she bowed her head a little.

I gave a wry smile and took a sip of the tea placed in front of me.

At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.

"Lotty."

"Come in."

When the door opened with Freit’s permission, there were two women there.

One was kneeling, hands clasped behind her back, forehead touching the floor.

The other stood holding a lead and also lowered her head.

"Excuse me."

The standing woman pulled the lead and made the kneeling woman stand, then walked toward us.

The two women had somewhat similar faces.

Were they sisters?

The woman holding the lead looked in her mid-teens.

She was about the same height as Cathy.

Her blonde hair was in a ponytail, and her emerald eyes were slightly upturned.

She had a sharp look, but she was undeniably beautiful.

She was topless, and because she only wore a skirt up to her knees, her moderately sized breasts were exposed along with their erect nipples.

She was probably an A-Dule.

And the other woman.

Probably in her early twenties.

She had blonde and emerald eyes like the other.

Her hair was loosely tied at the back.

She had the same slight upturn in her eyes as the neighboring woman.

Because she wasn’t wearing any cloth-like thing, I thought she was a To-Dule, but she had some accessories on.

The accessories surprised me.

The first thing that caught my eye was the nipple piercings.

On the erect nipples at the tips of her moderately sized breasts were piercings like Cathy’s, with jewels attached through chains, but the jewels were a little larger than Cathy’s.

Looking down further, there were accessories on her bare, hairless secret place.

A piercing was attached to her red, congested clitoris, and two chains extended from it, each pulling backward with slack from the outside of both feet.

Piercings were also attached to her labia minora, and the chains wrapped around her waist pulled on those piercings.

Because of that, even when standing, not only the clitoris but also the urethra was visible.

And what surprised me most was the urethra.

A chain from the chain attached to her body, about twice as thick as the one she wore, grew out from there, and the tip was held by the neighboring girl.

In other words, this was the lead.

Whenever the A-Dule girl walked, she pulled the lead, and the To-Dule woman writhed and stood with her legs pressed together, but desperately walked.

When they reached the side of the sofa table where we were sitting, the To-Dule woman knelt on the floor and, just like before, folded her body and pressed her forehead to the floor.

The A-Dule girl lowered her head to us, then bowed to Freit.

"I’m sorry for being late, Master."

"Ah, complete equipment, so it can’t be helped. Raise your face. Sister, stand up too. I’ll introduce you to these people."

Freit told the two Dule women that.

...Sister?

"I’ll introduce them. This is my former sister, now my To-Dule Laura, and this is my A-Dule Lotty, Laura’s daughter."

"I am Lotty. Nice to meet you. Mother, please greet them."

The girl introduced as Lotty bowed and greeted, then pulled the lead she held to urge the woman called Mother to greet.

"Higuu... L-Laura."

Laura, who called herself Laura, lowered her head with her hands clasped behind her back.

...What was this?

This To-Dule was Freit’s sister, and the one over here was the A-Dule, his niece?

And the A-Dule was the daughter of the To-Dule?

And that daughter was training her mother?

Um, was this the standard in this world?

"...So you said. He is a strange person, isn’t he?"

Helene whispered to me so no one else could hear.

"Look, Hiroyuki-sama, it would be pitiful if you don’t introduce yourself."

"A-Ah. I am Hiroyuki."

When Helene urged me, I stood and introduced myself to Lotty and Laura.

Lotty bowed her head, and Laura... looked at my feet with a troubled face.

Ah, I see.
