[Bonds-list]: Tsumugi

There was no change in her status at all.

So sl*ves can sign a contract for [Bonds-list], but they can’t take advantage of it.

“I’m fine! You don’t have to be bonded to me, but I’m your slave, Master! I’m the one who’s in the way!”

Ouka claimed the status of a slave in vain.

It’s really scary to be a slave contractor. If you apply the basic magic, you could even do brainwashing and alter memories.

“But it’s hard to keep this up. Master will lose his status. I’m a slave, so I can’t benefit from it. It’s like I don’t have [Bonds-list].”

“As far as we’re concerned, yes.”

“Going back to my original question, how do you destroy the constraints of slavery …… not benefiting from the [Bonds-list]?”

“’It’s simple. If there’s no such thing as [Bonds-list]. Then we’ll just have to improve our basics.”

“So, that means?”

“Leveling.”

Ouka is currently level 8. If you’re going to be an adventurer, you should be at least level 15.

“So we’ll just have to take out the slimes that come along the way!”

As a sign of motivation, Ouka brandishes the knife vigorously.

“Unfortunately, it’s going to be a while before we can level up with this kind of monsters.”

“Then what are we going to do? What if there’s a powerful monster in the depths of this place!”

In the meantime, we arrived at our destination.

“Cave ……?”

There is one huge cavern in front of us.

The moat is even deeper and we can’t see anything inside since it’s the middle of the night.

“There are rumors that someone dug a hole in the ground before, or that it was made by magic. The guild has informed us to stay away from this place because it’s dangerous.”

“There’s a real monster lurking in here!”

“Yeah.”

I throw the lantern into the pit. The light fell deeper and deeper and finally hit the ground.

“Uh……”

“It’s a massive number of monsters.”

Above the hole that Ouka was raving.

The moon peeked out of the sky and the scene was clearly projected.

The place – was filled with countless slimes.

“Wahhhh, what’s with those numbers!”

“A monster house?”

“Not just tens! There are hundreds of them!”

The slimes fill the hole in front of me. Considering the size of the hole, it’s not surprising that there are above four digits of them.

Ouka clung behind me, scared. In a small voice, she kept calling out “creepy”.

I lift her little body.

“That’ s awesome!”

“Yes, master?”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha.”

“Uh-huh?”

I lifted Ouka and swung her to the side, leaning to the edge of the hole.

“So get me all the rocks, then.”

“What–”

I threw Ouka into the hole.

“No! ———-”

Her figure gradually gets smaller and smaller.

Only Ouka’s scream was heard in the dark forest.

“Well, let’s get going.”

I walk further into the forest, alone.
