I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

19 – Episode 19. To be determined (1)

I spent about 12 years in this game.

Considering that this is all the time spent as an adult, it can be seen as an amount of experience equivalent to 20 years in real life.

As a result, I feel that I am slowly becoming assimilated into this world.

The biggest one among them is the caste system.

The reason I couldn’t immediately think of slaves was not because I wasn’t familiar with the caste system, but rather because I was too used to it.

They took slaves for granted as objects, so they did not immediately come to mind when thinking of ‘objects of protection’.

I am embarrassed myself.

Of course, I have never worked as a slave myself.

Not only did I not feel the need for that, but as a modern person, I felt very repulsed.

But this time, for the first time, slaves were needed.

And in the 13th and final session, I had surprisingly lost my aversion to being a slave.

‘I’m not familiar with this road.’

In the bustling city of the Empire, we delve into a narrow alley.

The warm-colored street lights shine down, and the streets that were devoid of trash disappear everywhere, and soon a dirty street full of graffiti appears on the walls.

I can feel hostile gazes pouring down on me from all over.

Because I, dressed neatly, clearly do not fit in here.

But that kind of attention quickly decreases.

Even people like me who are neatly dressed and have a clean face are starting to show up.

Deep inside the slums.

As I exit the narrow alley, a bright red light welcomes me.

‘No matter how many times I’ve been to the slums, this is my first time coming to the red light district.’

Somewhat embarrassing scenes unfold in all directions.

Women wearing revealing clothes sometimes solicit customers.

You can also see a nobleman with a stylish mustache who immediately takes women away in a carriage.

But we are simply aloof from such visual stimulation.

Is it because I live side by side with heroines who are much more attractive than those people even though they are fully clothed?

There are some things that the desire is not that great now.

My mind may have been languishing here for 12 years, but today is the third day since this body entered the game.

Of course, I have never had a relationship with anyone in the past 12 years.

Even if you just come for a short break, the heroines are suspicious of the affair and say sh*t, so I wonder if they would have ever thought of stopping by a brothel.

Furthermore, it is impossible to engage in such acts with the heroines, but if a relationship is reached to that level, the success rate exceeds 100% and the game is automatically cleared.

Still, it’s worth holding on to.

Every time you go back, your body also goes back to the past.

So, I am currently in a subtle state where desires are accumulated, but not accumulated.

Now that she has shed the shackles of being the main heroine and can visit brothels as she pleases, she has no intention of satisfying her desires in places like this.

If possible, I want to have my first experience with my lover.

You endured it for 12 years, but if you give up in the last episode, you lose your shape.

“This is it.”

I arrived at the store after shaking off countless touts.

The outside presents itself as a toy store filled with childish innocence, but when you think about the true nature of the ‘products’ being sold inside, it’s a bit creepy.

I heard a lot of rumors about this store during the 12 episodes.

As it is a famous place, there may be exaggerated rumors, but what I remember is the rumor that no matter what you are looking for, this store will definitely have the toy you want.

“Welcome, sir.”

“······.”

As I entered, I was greeted by a clerk with a slightly eerie atmosphere.

She is a woman whose real face is difficult to judge because she has a lot of makeup on and she is wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

A frowning smell stings my nose.

I didn’t really want to stay too long, so I decided to quickly resolve the matter first.

“I need a cheap slave. He must be able to move around without difficulty and be able to understand what is said. It doesn’t matter if he can’t read. It would be nice if he is obedient.”

The price must be cheap.

That way, you won’t hesitate to throw it away later.

It’s a problem if you buy something at a high price and then end up throwing it away.

And then you become attached to it in an instant.

“Hmm. What is it for?”

“We will take you into the dungeon. You will need the physical ability to navigate rough terrain.”

“Do you prefer a support dragon that can use magic, or a tanking dragon that can stand at the forefront?”

“I was misunderstood. It is not for use in battle. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to fight at all. As long as you can follow me around, that’s all.”

“Please follow me.”

The clerk gestures with his chin and takes me into the basement.

And then he realizes the identity of the smell that had been causing him discomfort earlier.

It was a mixture of the stench of excrement and the thick scent of perfume to cover it up.

“Ahahahaha. I’m sorry. I’m managing it in my own way, but it’s too much for me alone.”

“······.”

It is indeed wide.

It is the size of three or four large supermarkets joined together.

It feels like my mouth is about to drop open, but because of the smell, I keep my mouth shut and walk diligently.

“These are the right children to take to the dungeon… Is there a child you like?”

The clerk points to the iron bars on one side.

They are slaves of various races with rugged muscles.

These guys who look like they could fold me in half are busy lowering their eyes as soon as they make eye contact with me.

It seems that lethargy has been learned and ingrained in the body.

“How much is it?”

“There may be variations, but you can roughly think of the kids here as having around 2,000 gold.”

“Aren’t the ones that aren’t for combat cheaper?”

“Is that so?”

“I really want a guy who is of no use to anyone and whose price is ridiculously cheap.”

“Ahahahahaha. This is my first time seeing a customer like this. Please come this way.”

The clerk dragged me further inside.

It’s been a lot of fun looking at various slaves.

The most numerous are the beastmen.

The next most common are the human race.

Elves were also seen very occasionally, but they were kept in much neater and wider cages.

It seems like they are receiving special management because the price is particularly high.

Dwarves are less popular than elves.

“This is this child. A slave that no one wants to buy, that has no power, no charm, and is extremely cheap. In fact, I was planning to dispose of him because it costs more to keep him here.”

Inside, the deepest corner of the cage.

A red light shines in the darkness.

Unlike other guys, they look straight at me and don’t take their gaze away.

As he slowly approaches the iron bars, he also slowly emerges from the darkness.

“······.”

A short human boy.

He is just watching me without any dialogue or movement, but I can sense a faint hostility from his gaze.

But he seems to be aware of his own helplessness and is not ready to attack.

Rather than being handsome, he is a very pretty looking guy.

The skin is not only pure white but pale.

If he grows up like this, he will grow up to be like a proper gisaeng brother.

It will probably make several women cry.

“It’s a blood demon. All of its fangs have been pulled out, so don’t worry.”

Oh my.

He was a guy whose growth had stopped.

Blood demon.

The name ‘Blood Demon’, which is often used as a tribal name, is actually the name of a plague.

This is the name given to a person who suffers from the plague because they lose their reason and show high aggression solely to suck people’s blood.

No, in fact, it is difficult to even consider him a person.

If a person is affected by blood demons, their heart will stop.

A person who is bitten by the fangs of a blood demon and receives blood sucking blood also becomes a blood demon.

Even ordinary people develop superhuman strength when they become blood demons, so once a plague spreads, a village can be devastated in an instant.

That is why it is common for blood demons to burn down entire villages where they are found.

However, very occasionally, an individual who retains a little bit of reason appears among the blood demons.

This guy is that type.

He probably ran away from the chaos, but was caught by a slave trader and had all his fangs removed.

So how is this guy usually used?

It is usually used as a boredom toy.

Blood demons have good durability and are cheap enough that it is not a waste to kill them with a single sword.

There is no reason for it to be expensive since it is not human in the first place.

This guy is a ‘thing’ in the truest sense of the word.

“This guy. Does he know how to talk? There’s no need to understand complex instructions. Come, go, eat, just understanding this is enough…”

“······Speak. Do it.”

A hoarse voice echoes from inside the iron cage.

He seemed a little inarticulate, but he clearly understood what I said and answered.

You don’t have to be smart.

It is enough to have this much reason left.

“How much is it?”

“I’ll just give it to you.”

“What?”

“I told you. We were just about to throw it away. It’s only beneficial if the cost of disposing of the body is solidified.”

“······.”

The clerk smiles brightly and opens the iron bar.

Then he grabs the chain tied around the boy’s neck.

The boy seemed to hesitate for a moment even after the cage was opened, but when the clerk pulled the chain hard, he fell forward and had to be dragged out.

“Keheek! Keek! Keek······!”

Even while being strangled, the color of the face does not turn red at all.

Evidence that blood is not circulating in the body at all.

This is proof that it is an object and not a person.

“Don’t be too rough.”

“It’s okay. Blood demons are hard, so they won’t hurt most of the time…”

“It seems like he really wanted to dispose of the body.”

“······.”

She tightened her expression and quickly put down her chains as she held the clerk’s wrist tightly in warning.

The clerk released the restraints around the boy’s neck using the key he gave him.

The boy looks up at me with a confused expression.

In her eyes, which seem to be a mixture of various emotions, there also seems to be a faint glimpse of gratitude.

But you don’t have to thank me.

[Stats]

[Strength: 9(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Stamina: 7(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Magic power: 12(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Agility: 18(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Luck: 14(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

I was just pretending to be a guard to see if the Guardian Knight would activate.

Because I didn’t help you with good intentions.

We have confirmed whether it has been activated or not.

“It’s perfect.”

He is a slave who is free, and if he escapes from me, the only thing he can expect is death, and he listens to my words appropriately and faithfully activates his guardian knight.

Because it is a real ‘object’ and not a living person, it is easy to handle.

If this is the case, I, a modern person, will not feel guilty no matter how I treat it.

There is no reason to hesitate any longer.

“It was a good deal.”

“Go in.”

“······Yes.”

Push the boy inside the wide open door.

The boy who came in on his back just stood there quietly and watched me.

It doesn’t show any curiosity or ask for anything, it just remains frozen.

When you look at something like this, you really get the feeling that it is a corpse whose reason has been blown away.

Except for a little bit of language ability, I guess all my memories have been erased.

Even the aggressive nature of the blood demon was erased when the fangs were pulled out.

It’s like looking at a tin can robot without any software installed.

It’s late at night, so we’ll start raiding the dungeon tomorrow.

Today, I need to load this guy with software.

There is no need for a complicated program.

All I have to do is enter simple instructions such as following me closely in the dungeon and telling me to come and go.

“Okay. Rather than that, let’s take a shower first.”

“······Yes.”

Every time he walks, footprints keep leaving behind on the floor.

I can’t do it because it’s dirty.

First of all, I need to wash it thoroughly.

I grabbed the hand of the guy who reflexively gave a dry answer and dragged him into the bathroom.

Anyway, what should we call this guy now?

Choosing a name is also work.

It’s not urgent, so I’ll leave the name undecided and just wash up.

But I soon had to face a completely unexpected situation.

“Uh, huh?! What are you!”

“······I. Blood demon.”

This guy.

It was a woman.
