chapter 7
7 – Master of the Dark Sword 5
“mmm!!! Whoa..”
Feeling a bit heavy, Bahamut stretched.
Mental fatigue has decreased a lot in the work that I have become accustomed to, but it is probably because I enjoyed the low tide yesterday that I still feel this sensation.
‘In my heart, I want to enjoy the fun there more often… but unfortunately, I don’t have much time.’
To prepare for the next project, there were many things to do.
From stocking up on items for trade to scheduling appointments with people you need to meet.
Right now, just yesterday, I barely had time to go to sleep in the late evening, so it was absolutely impossible at this point to enjoy it without thinking.
‘But in the end, what remains is money..’
Even though it was hard to be proud of having lived hard before coming to this world, I didn’t think of being lazy in a situation where money would come in easily if I cared a little like now.
Moreover, if the background is a fantasy world in a novel, even more so.
‘If this is successful and some additional projects are successful, I will go to visit neighboring countries in the name of business expansion. Maybe if I go to the Dragona Empire, I might be able to see that princess?’
The novel ‘The Fallen Warrior’ was a full-length novel with 60 volumes, and the setting was elaborate and the world view was so vast that it came out as a game. Being able to meet the characters in it one by one must be a pleasure as an avid reader of the novel.

Not just for survival. It could be said that it was also a part of my personal hobby.
‘It was fun meeting Ophelia right now… Come to think of it, we decided to have dinner together today, right?’
After eating with her the other day, Bahamut came to realize that it is better to eat with someone than alone.
After that, he ate with Ophelia under the proper pretext of asking him to escort him during meals, which was giving Bahamut another pleasure.
‘How can I say it… To be honest, it’s fun to see the reaction when you eat food.’
Perhaps because she had lived a difficult life, Ophelia seemed strangely excited when eating.
Then, when food enters the mouth, the pupils automatically expand into a circle and start to shine.
It was both fun and cute, so from Bahamut’s point of view, it was making them feel that it was worthwhile to feed them.
‘Come to think of it, was it lamb today? The chef made it with special passion… ‘
With such thoughts in mind, Bahamut arrived in front of the restaurant.
Ophelia was there, as always, waiting for him, standing neatly.
By the way..
“Hello, Mr. Bahamut.”
“yes. yes. Let’s go in.”
Unlike usual, it was Ophelia who seemed to be sinking into something.
Regarding this, Bahamut accepted her greeting, but began to have doubts in his heart.
‘..yes? I feel a bit different today, right?..’
It looks like there is a dark shadow over there.
Seeing her look as if she was worried at first glance, Bahamut could not hold back his curiosity and opened his mouth first.
“What troubles you, Ophelia? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
“… Yes, it is.”
‘yes? there is?..’
Ophelia, who too easily agrees with his words.

Normally, when a superior asked a question like this, it was normal to step back and say that there was no such thing, but Ophelia didn’t seem to have such a concept.
Anyway, since he was in the position to bring up the story first, Bahamut spoke to her again.
“yes? Tell me what your worries are.”
“… That’s… I’m sorry… I’m sorry. I know it’s a really rude story, but…”
“Uh.. yes.. it’s okay, so tell me.”
Ophelia reacted a bit hesitantly to Bahamut’s words this time. As a result, Bahamut felt his curiosity deepen as to what he was trying to say, and when his doubt grew moderately, Ophelia cautiously opened his mouth as if he had finally made a decision.
“Does Master, by any chance, hate Ophelia?”
“… what?”
Ophelia suddenly asks questions like an innocent girl. In response, Bahamut showed a dazed expression in embarrassment for a moment.
‘What is this… A sudden confession event… There’s no point… No, more than that, what should I answer for something like this?’
While thinking about that, Bahamut somehow decided that it would be best to speak as honestly as possible.
“I don’t hate it… but I don’t. Personally, I think it’s closer to what I like. But why are you asking such a thing?”
“That…that… ”
Ophelia’s face suddenly turns red at Bahamut’s question the next moment.
It seemed as if there was something embarrassing to say, and in response to this, Bahamut somehow started to feel like an older brother looking at his wrong sister.
‘This is probably… I think Ophelia made a small mistake? That’s why I’m looking at my eyes and telling this story..’
According to what I’ve seen so far, Ophelia has a rather timid personality. Bahamut thought that perhaps even a minor mistake was making him so nervous.
Ophelia, who had a painful past, would surely react sensitively even to small mistakes.
Making that judgment, Bahamut spoke to her with a kind smile.
“Okay. tell me where I will forgive you no matter what.”
Despite Bahamut’s words, Ophelia’s face was still red, but fortunately, as if she gained some courage, she finally opened her mouth.
“That..then.. Master..”
Even so, Ophelia uttered one beat as if embarrassed.
And finally, as if a bolt had been released, she spoke with little force to Bahamut.
“Doesn’t my master… think of me… as a woman?”
“..what?”
Ophelia speaks incomprehensible words.
In response, Bahamut put on a dazed expression again, and Ophelia, who had already been unbarred by Bahamut, continued to speak.
“I… saw… last night… in the basement… what the master did to the slave…”
“Eh?.. now.. wait.. if you’re in the basement… stand… no way…”
The next moment, Bahamut began to be seized by the feeling of being hit in the head with a hammer.
If I had to express this feeling, I could say that the moment I reached my climax while watching porn, it felt like my sister suddenly opened the door and came in.
‘Ah.. this.. is going crazy.. no.. did you see that scene?
It was Bahamut who did what was possible without filtering out because he was really Isolda, a bimbo who didn’t need to have mercy on his opponent.
Literally, that I showed one of the people I didn’t want to show the most, something that only I could do alone in a locked room when no one was watching.
That fact was giving Bahamut a huge sell-off.
“Ahh… ”
Afterwards, he felt the harsh reality that he had nothing to say even if Ophelia treated him as a complete pervert.
For the first time since Bahamut came to this world, his face turned bright red and he began to suffer from shame.
Then… someone grabbed Bahamut’s hand that was covering his burning face.
“?”
The next moment, what Bahamut saw was Ophelia holding his hand tightly.
Contrary to what I expected, there was no contempt in her eyes.
Ophelia is showing something desperate.
What is contained in it is purity. And.. it was a desire that was burning in the middle of the day.
“Oh.. Ophel.. Lear?”
Ophelia blushed slightly and said to Bahamut, who called her name with a sense of wonder.
“Can’t you… do that… for me too?”
“Go… Why… suddenly… such a request?”
Ophelia brings out an unexpected story.
In response, Bahamut, feeling that his mind seems to be running away from home often these days, made a blank expression again.
“Sa… Sa… longed for… Ophelia…
“Yes?”
Ophelia brings out unexpected stories without warning.
In response, Bahamut unknowingly burst out with honorific words, and Ophelia, seeing him like that, began to speak with tears in her eyes.
“Ugh.. Ah.. I know.. I know.. I know that this… this is unacceptable.. but.. but.. if a slave in that basement is possible… maybe… even to me, as low as that woman, To a degree.. Ugh.. Sin.. Sorry.. but.. but.. but.. just in case…”
It was Ophelia who had embraced many men she did not want to.
However, she also knew from her knowledge that it had to be done with the person she originally liked.
But she never had a chance to do that.
She was the one who couldn’t even be treated to feel love from someone, no, to feel favor in the first place.
It wasn’t even clear to her what to do with love, or even what level of kindness could be called love.
That’s how she became interested in someone for the first time.
The first person to recognize your hard work.
The first person to compliment you.
And for the first time… the one who taught me happy meals, not for survival.
The person who taught me the warmth of life.
Ophelia wanted to convey these feelings to the man, but she did not know how.
Just saying that you like it.
And having a physical relationship.
These were the only two ways she knew how to express her crush.
In this situation, I saw the man holding another woman… a woman who seemed to be a lowly human being similar to himself.
At this, Ophelia, fueled by a little jealousy, decided to express herself as far as she could think of.
And, right after hearing her clumsy expression of liking, Bahamut was speechless for a moment.
“… .”
Ophelia’s voice felt earnest and sincere.
Although the sentences were intertwined and mixed with cries, Bahamut could get a rough idea of what she was thinking through this.
‘It’s a very clumsy feeling, but.. did I.. really get a confession? Compared to the affinity gauge, I don’t think there’s a feeling that something was omitted.’
He was treated like a human being for a short period of time.
He gave me compliments, gave encouragement, and laughed as we ate together.
However, for this woman named Ophelia, Bahamut had a much greater meaning than I thought.
Bahamut, who knew the original, could vaguely understand.
‘Right… Come to think of it, he was Ophelia who gave his life to his malicious master just for the simple reason that he accepted him…’
In this way, Bahamut realized that Ophelia’s actions were not at all out of the blue.
Because she was so pure, that’s why she was simple yet blind.
It was a short time, but it was so easy to fall for the person who accepted me and gave me a favor.
A body that originally sold its body to men in order to live here.
In expressing his heart, he had no hesitation in giving himself right away.
‘To put it in a bad way, you could say she’s an easy woman… But once you’ve captivated her heart, it’s rare to find someone as faithful as she is.’
Knowing the situation, Bahamut carefully reached out and touched Ophelia’s chin.
It felt warm and soft to the touch, and the look on her face began to look more beautiful than usual.
“Really… if you really want to…”
And, in a situation where a woman like this says she likes him…
At the same time, in that the woman is an object that must be held by her side.
Bahamut had no reason to refuse it.
“Do you want to come to my room tonight?”
“ah!..”
the moment you hear it.
For the first time since she was born, a sincere smile of joy began to appear on Ophelia’s face.
