Chapter 2 – 20 Gold Demon King (2)
“11 Gold!!”
The ransom of the demon girl, which had risen steadily over time, stagnated little by little at the point of exceeding 10 gold, but the fat man in the far corner shouted 11 gold.
“Now, 11 gold! 11 Gold is out!! Are there any more gentlemen who want this demon?”
Silence came for the first time inside the auction house.
“Ah-cha-cha-cha! My mind too! You forgot the most important word! As a result of our prior confirmation with magic, this girl’s body is still innocent, having never known a man. To put it simply, she is a virgin.”
Then, the eyes of some people looking at the demon girl became more sticky, and an unpleasant sound of hot snoring was heard.
-11 Gold and 50 Silver!
-12 Gold!!
-12 Gold 40 Silver!!
‘Because she is a virgin, she rushes at me with terrifying momentum… Are those bastards going to become unicorns in their previous lives?’
Roden, who was frowning at the unpleasant sight, looked at the demon girl again, recalling the information he had just checked.
Excluding the characteristics of the demons… The combination of her ruby-studded red eyes, dark purple hair, distinct features and her slender face already shows the image of a beauty even at a young age.
While examining her for anything unusual besides her pretty face, he met her eyes.
“…”
No, it was an illusion to think that we had met. The demon girl’s eyes were empty.
The demonic girl is just escaping from the reality unfolding in front of her by staring blankly into space.
Literally gave up everything.
Even while Roden is quietly observing the demon girl, her ransom continues to rise, and the corners of the mouth of the presenter next to her also rise side by side.
Some, who seemed to have given up on the auction a long time ago, were busy enjoying themselves with their eyes, glancing at the girl’s thighs, buttocks, or chest, while others, who fell into the frenzied heat, were gasping like horny bastards.
“15 gold!!!!!”
The person who shouted loudly as if declaring that it would end with this is the fat man who shouted 11 gold a moment ago.
… ．
Silence came for the second time inside the tent. The fat guy, convinced of the successful bid, smiled like a winner, but it didn’t last long.
Loden, wearing a mask over her face to prevent the spread of useless rumors, slowly raised her hand… ．
“… 20 gold.”
Thanks to the silence around her just in time, Roden’s voice resonated loudly in the tent despite speaking quietly.
“This… ，Two, two, twenty!!”
“Oh my god! I bought one demon girl, but 20 gold each… !”
“It’s like seeing a face for the first time… Aren’t you an aristocrat from another province?”
“It must be the agent sent by the gloomy old man who doesn’t want to show his face.”
This time, instead of silence, the inside of the tent became noisy with whispers about Roden’s true identity.
“2,20 gold came out, but… Ho, is there anyone else you want to do?”
The eyes of the rest of the people, including the presenter, naturally turned to the fat man in the far corner. In fact, it was no different than asking him.
“Ugh… !!”
But the fat guy didn’t have any more funds right away.
At least formally, the presenter who counted from 10 was ground, ground, ground! He hit the wooden mallet vigorously to announce that the girl had won the bid.
“Well then, this auction is over. We, Rouse Company, will come back with products that will satisfy you all!!”
The auction ended with this. The people who had filled the tent began to slowly leave.
After everyone has left, Roden, who has walked to the place where the host and the demon girl are, has already taken out a bag of gold coins from his inventory.
Unlock the entrance, reveal twenty gold coins inside, and hand it to the presenter.
The presenter, who was very suspicious of Roden’s appearance of handing over a large amount of money that could buy a small house in the capital if he bargained well, without a change of expression, called a judge to confirm whether it was a real gold coin. The result came out quickly.
“All 20 gold is fine.”
“Ah, ahaha… ，I’m really sorry if you feel bad.
Perhaps because he wanted to look good to the other party, the presenter rubbed his palms like flies to the extent that he wondered if his fingerprints would disappear.
“I don’t particularly care. More than that…”
“Yes, yes! Sure.”
The presenter, who had been crouching all along, released her demon girl’s shackles with the key in her arms and dragged her in front of Roden, and she seemed to understand well to whom the right to live and die had passed. I bowed deeply and greeted her.
“M-I’m tired of mana… Zu, Master. I…, Roxia…”
The name of the demon girl who managed to complete the sentence by combining pronunciations that would be awkward no matter who heard it was Loxia.
The presenter, who seemed to be very satisfied with her appearance, laughed and whispered darkly to Roden’s side.
“… She’s a little clumsy when it comes to talking, but she’s the type of person who notices her, so she can understand her well enough. ，You can enjoy it as much as you like.”
The purpose of purchasing a female slave is mostly obvious. Even if a slave is a virgin, basic sex education and training before selling to a customer is the basic of the basics.
Although she was really nasty, Roden thought she was doing all the useless things, but she didn’t say anything outwardly.
The presenter, who was watching the other person’s notice, slightly pulled the rag that Roxia was wearing so that her chest was exposed, and the tattoo engraved there was revealed.
It is not just a tattoo, but a stamp of obedience that prevents slaves from refusing to obey their master’s orders.
“Hold your hand here for a moment…”
As she raised her hand toward her imprint, the inscription that recognized Roden’s mana blinked and emitted a blue light, but then the tattoo disappeared as if it had soaked into her body.
“Enough then.”
“Ah… ,Yes! Yes! If you visit us next time, we will serve you warmly!!”
Roden, who bent her waist at 90 degrees and saw the host trying to win the other person’s favor, told her demon girl to follow her and came out of the tent together.
While I was in the tent, the sun had completely set, so the sky over the capital city was dark. Only the sparsely installed magic ore lighting stands and the brightly lit interior of the building illuminated the streets.
The man and woman did not say a word as they walked for a long time down the dark street where few people were seen.
In Roden’s case, she was quiet because she was far from talking about her original body, and in the case of Roxia, she couldn’t say anything because she was watching Roden’s eyes.
Suddenly, he noticed that the body of the girl walking next to him was shaking.
‘Slowly… It’s time to get cold. You’ll catch a cold like this.’
The rags Roxia was wearing were so tattered that it would be embarrassing to call them clothes, so Roden took off her coat and put it on her without worrying about her.
“… ! Go, thank you.”
Seeing her robe draped over her own body, Roxia is quite puzzled by her unexpected behavior, but she quickly expresses her gratitude.
After that, she followed Roden, glancing at her, holding onto the hem of her master, whom she would serve for the rest of her life.
* * *
The building, built in the outskirts of Varmela, in a corner but quiet place, had a strong atmosphere of a shop rather than a house.
When Roden and Roxia enter the building, jingle! The sound of bells hanging on the door and the unique smell that can only be smelled in a new house greeted the couple.
As I groped toward the dark ceiling and pulled the string, the magic ore placed on the ceiling brightly illuminated the interior.
The inside of the store, which had just been built three days ago, had no special decorations other than a long table and chairs serving as cashiers, and a display stand for various potions.
This is enough for me to be satisfied with my own store—-, thinking about it, Roden quietly smiled and took off the mask she had been wearing so far and put it in her inventory.
Loxia looked around her and found her clothes rack, sprinted towards it and put her coat on as carefully as possible.
Then, before she had time to check Roden’s face, she collapsed at his feet.
“Mi, lowly… ，Thank you for purchasing me… “
“Human language seems to be very uncomfortable, but just speak in a comfortable way.”
As the language of their tribe came out of Roden’s mouth, Roxia lifted her bowed head and looked at him with startled eyes.
“Can you speak the language of demons and demons?”
“Well, it’s okay. It’s a little noisy here, so let’s go to my room for now.”
“… I understand. Master.”
The two entered Roden’s room at the far end of the living room at the back of the store.
Roden’s room is also a desolate landscape with nothing but an ordinary closet and a bed. He immediately sat down on the bed and patted the seat next to him to induce Roxia to come to his side.
When Roxia, who obediently obeyed the master’s words, sat down, Roden took her hand without saying anything.
“Ah…”
Roxia, who had never held a man’s hand in this way, even if she had been stabbed, blushed involuntarily.
On the other hand, holding her hand and concentrating his mind as much as possible, Roden’s faint but certain feeling of madness hardened into certainty.
‘I’m sure. It feels exactly the same as the Magi I bumped into 14 years ago… Because the Demon King has become a slave… ．Well, I can’t even use this as a joke.’
Laughing in his heart, Roden let go of the girl’s hand and wondered how to deal with this child in front of her.
I can’t even imagine what kind of circumstances the demon holding the demonic energy of the demon king would have been captured by humans, but the girl in front of me is definitely the demon king.
Then, for the sake of peace and stability of mankind, should we get rid of the girl who will later become the Demon King?
At least, the answer from Roden was ‘no’.
Even if we assume that Loxia’s power will awaken in the distant future and threaten humanity… To be honest, it doesn’t matter from his point of view.
The reason I risked my life to subdue the Demon King in the past was not for a cause, but for the possibility of returning home.
Moreover, in the last episode, I had the experience of being dumped as soon as I defeated the demon king, so personally, I am looking forward to the resurrection of the demon king.
With a sigh, Roden moved his gaze to the girl’s chest and thought of the imprint that had permeated there.
For Loxia, who is no different from a normal child except for the weak Magi, the imprint is an absolute restraint that must obey the owner’s command unconditionally.
Even after considering this and that, there is absolutely nothing that could make this girl a threat to her. At least for now.
… Roxia, who understood Roden’s gaze in a different direction, took off the rags she was wearing with her determined face.
The striptease started suddenly. Roden missed the timing to stop her girl.
Her skinny arms and legs, her breasts so high that she could barely be distinguished as a woman, her lower mouth shyly closed, her bony body with sparse scars from whiplashes and burns. Revealed.
Roxia, who was naked without a single thread on, prostrated herself on her bed and spoke in the most polite voice possible.
“I… ，Although it is the first time, I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the owner.”
“…”
Roden, who was speechless at all of this, closed her eyes and calmly thought about how his first impression would have been on Roxia from a third person’s point of view.
A sarcastic lolicon man who stole 20 gold from a 14-year-old kid.
‘My God, is that me…’
