He Is a Master Who Can’t Handle a Slave Properly

26 – dependence, bondage, and?

The move was completed smoothly.

In the end, I was able to purchase the house for 60 gold coins, on condition that some of the furniture and magic tools were replaced. She, who was about to think it strange that the price had risen by 10 gold coins, also patted her palms on the conditions suggested by the landlord, Mr. Carmen, then nodded her head and confirmed that it was a reasonable contract.

But as expected, the decision itself was postponed to me, and I had no choice but to ask her to sign the contract.

It made me a little uneasy about relying on her for everything from writing to basic common sense, but her uneasy feelings were suppressed little by little by her smile and touch.

To be honest, it was a bit of a frustrating situation.

I depend on her for everything. from one to ten.

She was the only person to help me when I was exploring the dungeon. I needed her whenever I had a contract or a writing job. I needed her to avoid getting ripped off when I bought things.

I was relying on her for everything.

By any chance, if she ever betrays me…

Even so, can I have no choice but to cling to her?

“Oh, why are you like that?”

As soon as I put my luggage down at the clean house, I hugged her from behind.

She paused, then turned her beautiful face toward me and kissed me.

After coveting each other’s scent for a while, she seemed to notice my slightly odd attitude.

…I stuck to her for a long time, stronger than ever, by my own choice.

I held her tightly until she exhaled heavily and bit my lip lightly.

That much, I was anxious.

I was afraid that all of her actions would be false, that all of her feelings would be fake.

In that anxiety, I clung to her.

After hugging her for a while, she turned her body around slightly, leaving my arm still.

I let go of the strength in my arm in line with her movements, and she put the pod in my hand as it was.

“Are you… uneasy? Did I make you uneasy?”

“…I just, I think it was. I’m sorry.”

“Tell me honestly. What were you anxious about?”

“Sureuk,” she said, and ran her hand across my cheek.

I didn’t want to let go of that warmth, so I held her hand with both hands.

Was this how she felt that day?

Could this feeling of being left alone in a foreign country, unable to rely on anyone and neglected, was the loneliness she felt?

So, are you desperately trying to cling to others like this?

“Ah, ah… I think I know what it feels like.”

I felt a little bit of strength go into my hands.

forehead and forehead met.

Her warm, soft breasts gently wrapped around my chest.

Her hands gently hugged my back.

And for a long time like that, I hugged her without even setting foot in the house.

“A little calm down, would you?”

she looks smiling

I was wiping away the tears as she sipped our tea little by little.

I couldn’t explain the emptiness that suddenly came, so I just messed around with my stupid hair for a long time.

Should I say that it is empty, or should I say that I feel some unknown fear?

It wasn’t like the way she sometimes stared at me with those glowing eyes.

I was just afraid.

The fear was not that she would take me, but the complete opposite.

I was afraid that she wouldn’t take me.

…I didn’t want to force love on her.

But at the same time, I didn’t want to lose love from her.

I received a lot of help from her, did I have any help?

Isn’t it like taking advantage of her loneliness?

Even if it wasn’t me, if there was someone else who wanted to save her, she would have turned to him.

It was unbearably hateful.

That fact couldn’t have been so resentful.

I was simply a support for her.

can be anyone else.

Painful thoughts continued to run through my head.

“Shh… it’s okay. Can you tell me all about it later, if you ever calm down?”

Suddenly, I felt love for her as she held me in her chest and patted my back.

she was good I liked that she understood my heart. I liked that she loved me.

But what if you don’t? What if one day, she suddenly goes back to her family holding the money I gave her?

I didn’t want to miss out. I hugged her more.

Every time that happened, her snort became rough, but the thought that even that could have been heard by someone other than me made my heart ache again.

“Eh… I wonder if it’s something related to me, but I can’t tell you anything else because you don’t open your mouth…”

She kissed his ear and caressed his back, which continued to shake with warm hands.

“I don’t think I’ll fully understand that, though. A feeling of loneliness runs through your eyes. Did I lack my love?”

Her whispers calm my quivering heart.

“For now, my handsome face is a mess because of the tears. Shall I wash it off a bit?”

Slowly, holding her hand, I get up from my seat, and cross the blurry road in front of me, following her white hair and piercing ears.

“Hey, would you like to touch the sphere?”

Her hand gripped my wrist and placed my hand on the blue orb.

But there was no response.

“…Huh? Would you like to try it again?”

Still, there was no response.

“That’s strange, why is this? Would you mind controlling your emotions a little and focusing on the sphere a little?”

I wiped away the tears with my hand at the bewildered voice, confirmed that I had touched the sphere, and stared at it.

But still, the coffin remained dry.

“Uh, uh…? Wait a minute, no way-“

Anxiety grew more and more.

“Huh, it’s very rare, but…”

The priest in a fluttering white robe looked at me with a serious expression.

“Yes, he has no magical powers. Not even one.”

The news made her look serious. I didn’t know what that meant, so I just stared at her.

“Ellie, is this serious?”

“…No. I don’t have any problems with my daily life. But…”

She stopped talking, put her chin on her chin again, and pondered something.

When she didn’t give me a clear answer, I eventually turned my head to face the priest.

“You said you were an adventurer, right? Do you have any thoughts of challenging the deep layers of the dungeon?”

The priest, who was diligently writing something down on paper, suddenly met my eyes and opened his mouth.

“No… that’s not really essential.”

“Are you a person who needs to use magic tools?”

“Until now… it wasn’t.”

“…Okay. I have to tell you a few things. Marcus… is a very unusual case. No magic power was detected on his body, so it was impossible to use spell books or magic tools that he had at home. Impossible.”

“yes?”

You say you can’t use the things you have at home?

“That’s literally it. It’s impossible to use these objects alone.”

After that news, I was just letting the frantic flow of things go.

Until I got home, I held her hand tightly.

Really, I can’t do anything alone.

“It’s okay. I’ll have to do the cooking and serving the water. Like trimming the ingredients or cleaning the house together. Wouldn’t it be fine if you could help me with those parts? No, I’ll start with your -“

“…Miss Eli.”

He cut off her comforting words.

I couldn’t stop my heart beating like it was going to explode.

I was more scared than ever.

I started to fear the world enough to think that it was a miracle that I was fine until I met her in the first place.

I only learned about the existence of magic tools a while ago, but how many things do I not know?

When I reached the point that that ignorance could harm or kill me, I was once again overcome with anxiety.

To me like that, to me who fell into such darkness, she was my lighthouse.

The lighthouse my luck brought me.

She was the first and last lanyard I could rely on.

“You won’t… abandon me, will you?”

“What is that…”

She said something, but I couldn’t hear it and started to mutter at random.

“Without a family or anything else, there’s no way I could be attractive. The only thing I can think of is that I was lucky enough to have bought you, and I was just lucky to be alive like this.

The thought that I could have died many times won’t leave my head. All I can think of is that it’s actually a miracle that a kind, beautiful, and charming person like you is attached to me.

Without you, what the hell am I? what can i be to you You write, you give common sense, you save, you help, you are everything to me,

What the hell can I be for you? Do I even deserve your favor in the first place?

Tell me, Ellie. I tell you-“

And that loud mouth was soon overpowered by her resolute kiss.

I didn’t even know that her eyes were shining the brightest I’d ever seen, or that a wide smile hung over her mouth at the last moment.

He clung to her, possessed by something disguised as her embrace and verbal love.
