Chapter 49: Gia Lestrade (3)
“Se, secretary?”
“Yes, I’d like to hire you as my secretary.”
At the sound of Isaac Adler’s gentle voice, Silver Blaze wiped her tears and pricked up her ears.
“I retired my previous employees some time ago. It’s about time I hired someone new.”
“But… all I know how to do is run.”
She murmured, her expression showing a hint of fear.
“I haven’t learned much… and I’m not good at arithmetic either. Can someone like me really serve as your secretary?”
“Miss Blaze.”
Adler, holding back a small chuckle, embraced her and began to whisper in her ears.
“Being a secretary is mostly just for show.”“So…”
“Didn’t you want to be nurtured by me, Miss Blaze?”
Caught off guard by his comment, Silver Blaze nodded eagerly.
“I’m living in the professor’s office instead of the dormitory for some reason.”
“Oh…”
“It’s such a quiet place, and it gets lonely when I’m alone. So, I was thinking of getting a pet…”
Adler, recalling the image of Princess Clay who had transformed into a cat, continued his words thinking of her as a pet toy.
“Would you please become my pet?”
“… Yes!”
Silver Blaze, with sparkling eyes, nestled into Adler’s arms.
“Really?”
“It’s my wish…”
“Mmm.”
Adler, gazing down at her with a slightly pitiful look, brushed Silver Blaze’s hair gently and muttered in her ears.
“Think about it carefully.”
“…..?”
“Once you choose, you can never change your mind.”
His eyes glimmered with a hint of darkness.
“If you change your mind now, you can live freely for the rest of your life.”
“I don’t want that.”
“But if you choose to become my pet, you’ll never be able to escape.”
“………”
“Because in that moment, you’ll be surrendering your rights to me.”
When Adler’s demeanor changed, Silver Blaze began to gaze at him intently.
“I tend to be a bit obsessive, you know.”
She shivered at the low and deep tone of Adler’s voice.
“To be honest, I don’t quite understand.”
Realizing that her reaction was not out of fear, but rather anticipation, Adler asked with a wry smile.
“You’ve been running hard to gain freedom until now, haven’t you?”
“Yes.”
“So why do you now wish to be dependent on me?”
Hearing that, Silver Blaze smiled gently.
“I desired freedom for the demi-humans, not necessarily for myself.”
“That’s just playing with words.”
“Unlike the demi-humans from the alleys, I was born and raised for racing. Being cared for by someone is more familiar to me.”
Adler’s expression turned somber upon hearing that statement.
“If someone like me were to step out into society, what could I possibly do?”
“… If you wish, I can help you adjust to society.”
“Ha…”
Hearing the sincerity in his voice, Silver Blaze suddenly sighed deeply.
– Sigh…
Then, she stared intently into Adler’s eyes and hugged him tightly.
“… Miss Blaze?”
Despite her delicate appearance, her strength, quite different from that of a human’s, caught Adler off guard.
“This is the first time in my life…”
Silver Blaze began to speak in a soft voice.
“… That someone has been kind to me.”
“It’s not just me…”
“That was my dream.”
There was something different about the look in her eyes.
“The reason I ran so hard, the reason I hoped for the freedom of the demi-humans, was merely because I wanted to be treated kindly by someone.”
Taking a step forward in that state, Adler staggered back while holding her tight.
“When my dream is right before my eyes, why should I step into an unpredictable society?”
Silver Blaze whispered in a soft voice into his ear.
“… Just raise me a bit, will you?”
Then, there was a brief silence…
“Please…?”
When Silver Blaze tilted her head prompting him for an answer, Isaac Adler, who had momentarily scratched his head, began to speak with a kind smile on his face.
“If that’s what you truly wish.”
“Mr. Adler…”
“No.”
Adler then corrected her statement with a gentle shake of his head.
“From now on, call me Master.”
Silver Blaze’s face turned a deep shade of red, all the way up to her ears.
“… Master.”
In that state, she lowered her head and began to gently sway her tail and ears.
‘… Did I perhaps misunderstand earlier?’
Just as he thought that the strange demeanor of Silver Blaze he had seen briefly might have been his imagination, and was smiling while patting her head, a message appeared before him.
Silver Blaze now obeys you wholeheartedly.
Another message soon followed, bewildering him further.
Even in the future, no situation will make her change her mind.
As he tilted his head, a last message appeared in front of him— a type he hadn’t seen since his arrival in this world.
Conquest — Complete!!
“Wait, what?”
Cold sweat began to drip from his forehead, realizing he had inadvertently won over a character who wasn’t even the main focus.

A few minutes later.
“Then, head to the academy.”
“… Yes!”
“If you explain everything to the professor, she’ll make arrangements for you.”
“All right!”
Upon hearing Adler’s words, after breaking away from their embrace, Silver Blaze nodded with her eyes shining in a dazzling light.
– Chuup…
Suddenly, she raised her fluffy tail upright, covering Isaac Adler’s face.
“It smells like Miss Blaze.”
“… Is that a good thing?”
“There’s no way your scent wouldn’t be pleasant.”
“… Hehe.”
With an expectant look on her face while fidgeting with her fingers, she lowered her tail and let out an unusual laugh upon hearing Adler’s response filled with praise for her.
“Lately, I’ve been getting contacted by demi-humans from various places.”
Then, with a shy expression, Silver Blaze wrapped her tail around Adler’s arm.
“We’re organizing them with our comrades. Just wait a little longer.”
Her demeanor changed momentarily, just as it had earlier.
“… I will offer London to you, Master.”
With those whispered words, Silver Blaze slowly unwrapped her tail from his arm and began to walk away.
“… Is this a dream?”
As she distanced herself from him and then turned her head, returning to her usual expression with that characteristic joyful smile, Adler momentarily rubbed his eyes.
“It doesn’t seem so.”
“… Huh.”
Adler was startled by the sudden voice coming from the side and quickly turned to look.
“Have you changed your methods?”
“Miss Lestrade.”
“What are you scheming?”
Lestrade had a cold, suspicious look in her eyes as she glared at him with vigilence.
“I’ve only done as you wished.”
“What do you mean?”
Adler stared blankly at her for a moment, then cleared his throat and began to speak in a soothing tone.
“Didn’t you say that, in exchange for courting you, I shouldn’t touch any other woman?”
“You did. And just now…”
“So you wanted me to behave as usual?”
“… I didn’t hope for it, but honestly, I thought you would.”
“That would break our promise, right?”
As he took a step closer to Lestrade, she couldn’t help but frown and stagger away from him.
“Originally, you were someone I could never have— the idol and crush of men throughout the Great Britain.”
However, the more she backed away, the more Adler began to move toward her.
“A knight with an iron wall who has never accepted a confession from anyone.”
“Wait…”
“It’s an opportunity to handle such an entity as I wish.”
Cornered against the wall, Lestrade tried to push the approaching Adler away, but soon, she gritted her teeth and slowly lowered her arms and let him in.
“It was a promise you made with your own mouth…”
“………”
“… That you would satisfy me in place of other women.”
Adler reached for the top of her clothing.
“You said you’d comply with anything I ask, right?”
His fingers began to unbutton Lestrade’s police uniform one by one.
“You willingly agreed to be ruined by my hands.”
Lestrade trembled as she clearly felt that distinct sensation. As his hand touched just above her breast, she shut her eyes tight and whispered slowly…
“Finish it… quickly.”
Her voice, half cold and half disgusted, echoed in the dark alley.
“Do it quickly when no one’s looking… Just get it over with…”
Then, there was only silence.
“…….?”
Feeling the breeze entering through her unbuttoned uniform for quite a while, she opened her eyes in confusion when nothing happened.
“I just unbuttoned it for now…”
Seeing Lestrade acting like that, Adler smiled with his eyes, then gently took her hand.
“The rest, we’ll continue once we reach our destination.”
Hearing his soft voice, Lestrade nodded with a look of disdain in her face.
“It’ll surely be an enjoyable experience.”
‘I had already anticipated being treated this way…’
Lestrade’s hand, intertwined with Adler’s, trembled as if it was being chilled to her very bones.
‘… Endure it for justice, Lestrade. Only, you… can do it…’

“Huh…?”
A few minutes later…
“Ta-da~”
As she looked at the place where Adler had arrived holding her hand, she began to wear a blank expression on her face…
“Where is this…?”
“It’s a clothing store!”
Adler replied cheerfully in response to Lestrade’s question and with an excited look, led her into the store.
“I always wanted to visit one with my girlfriend once I had one.”
“…..???”
Question marks began to rise in Lestrade’s mind.

Meanwhile, across the street, at that very moment.
“”………..””
Charlotte Holmes, after waiting in the coffee shop for quite a while and seeing the two of them not returning, finally decided to search for them.
And, Jane Moriarty, unlike her usual self, wrapped up her morning class in a rather gloomy mood and immediately stepped outside the academy to search for her assistant, who might have been in danger at that point.
The two women stood side by side, watching the back of Adler, who was entering the clothing store hand in hand with Lestrade.
