I Was Reincarnated Chapter 12

Unusual Master

Dea's side

Everyone in the village was captured and those over 150 years old were killed

Everyone remaining were to be sold

This was something that was expected to eventually happen, but for the chief to not be able to do anything, I am pathetic

Even though we were only a small group and lived carefully, once the humans found us it was over

Different from being killed in an instant by demons, humans give us a lifetime of abuse

Made s.e.x slaves, addicted to drugs, thinking death preferable is the only treatment awaiting us

As that is the fate of elves, it is vexing that we can only spread out (to avoid terminal extinction)

Under torture I give my name

Chains are attached to my arms and legs and no matter how much I struggle they do not budge

I can only watch as the others are bought right in front of me

I can only watch as a new person is led in

I can't protect my brethren from these humans who look at them with unpleasant eyes

—————————————————–

In the middle of that (the flashback/soliloquy) I am dragged by my chains

(Am I being bought out of idle curiosity I wonder)

I am not young

I am now 110 years old

If I last a few more years I'll be killed

He seems to have bought me along with a spirit that seems to still be rather young

However spirits are more long-lived than elves

I am probably younger than him age-wise

And so, the guy who purchased us was wearing clothes like I'd never seen before

He was wearing white clothes, with red colored hems and a slit up to his waist

Under that he was wearing pants and dark gloves

His hair was long and black and went all the way to his coccyx (tailbone)

His face is covered with a dark veil so I can't see it

He paid the money and grabbed the chains to walk away and we couldn't do anything besides follow

He called out our names so we'd already been subordinated

I can only hope that this master will not do anything too terrible

—————————————

(What in the world is he thinking?)

To even buy clothes for slaves like us…….

Moreover, he removed the chains

He even removed the magic seal handcuffs from the spirit

It's almost like he's saying it's fine even if you try to run………..

(However if I try to run there'll probably be punishment)

I don't know what kind of cruel thing will be done to me

"…… What did you intend to do buying us as slaves?"

I asked almost unconsciously

He hasn't given us any drugs, and he is only making us carry the clothes he's indiscriminately buying

I can't feel any unpleasant seeming intentions either

"Darius is a servant. Roiona is a cook"

The master's words surprised me

(Servant!?)

That is to say, something like a maid

Then wouldn't it be fine even if it wasn't an elf?

However, I understood because buying me gave off that sort of implication

I was told I probably couldn't be sold

"To buy me, I thought you were just curious, but you had a motive like that"

In that case, I probably don't have to worry much about receiving cruel treatment

"How did you know I could cook?"

The spirit asked looking hesitant

(Speaking of which, that's true, how did he know)

After all there's no way everyone there could cook, so why did he choose him as a cook

The answer was extremely concise

"Since I'm a demon G.o.d"

""Eh-!?""

My unintentional exclamation overlapped with the spirit's

(Demon G.o.d?)

I had heard the stories

Suddenly appearing one day and conquering the world in just a moment

From among the humans a hero will be chosen, the beastmen, elves, and spirits will join forces and then defeat him…….

(There is such an over the top existence from legends, but to be right before my eyes!?)

Is it a joke?

My arm was suddenly grabbed, and the master muttered something

In that moment, the scenery changed

The interior of a building that can only be described as luxurious and gorgeous

No matter where it was huge, even though I want to ask where in the world this place is, I can't produce any words

"Come with me"

We can only follow after, dumbfounded

(He was probably being serious when he said he was a demon G.o.d)

From the town to here, it seems we moved through magic

The one able to do such a thing, normally would be someone with about the same amount of power as a spirit

(Even more wicked than humans)

Such a person as my master……

"s.h.i.+n-sama! Welcome back!"

Entering that room, when I realized that this place seemed to be a dining room, I heard a childish voice

It was a beastman(girl) with hands and mouth dyed purple, who embraced master

I realized that the master's clothes would be dirtied if such a thing was done

The beastman child seemed to realize that she had gotten him dirty and her smile disappeared as she made a face like she would cry

Will he even give punishment to such a young child

If it's a slave that's normal

To accept such actions (hug from a slave) is absurd

He'll be twice as angry

"Were you good (while I was gone)?"

Despite that, I can't perceive any anger in Master's voice

It almost seemed like he didn't even care about it

"Sorry, I got s.h.i.+n-sama's clothes dirty…….."

The beastman said so while looking like she wanted to cry

The clothes aren't like something a slave wears, but like something a human woman would wear, such high quality clothes

"…….Cleanup, remove stain"

Without blame, using his power the stains were removed

We can only look on dumbfounded in such a situation

"Is Rune still asleep?"

It seems there is another slave

"He's awake, but he said he couldn't walk. So he's in s.h.i.+n-sama's room"

('s.h.i.+n-sama' is that referring to master?)

Why is a slave sleeping in master's room?

A s.e.x slave?

While I was thinking such things, he handed over a rather expensive object as a present to that small child

The things she was wearing were nice, the present is nice, it seems she's cherished

Moreover, embedded in her slave collar is a rather large gem which I think isn't just embroidered on with fancy thread

She seem quite different from us

From what I can gather from there talk, this child is called Rau

She seems to be a cat beastman

Acting spoiled, she coiled her tail around master's leg

Widening her eyes, she made a cute face

After introducing us to her, master disappeared in order to get the other slave called Rune

As soon as he disappeared Rau's expression became frightened

She tightly hugged the present master gave her and didn't move at all as she sat in the chair

Like that while occasionally glancing at us Rona went to cook

There is nothing for me to do so I continued to stand in place

Master soon returned

The beastman he carried seemed important to him, he had grey hair and ‘tsurime’ (sharp, angled) eyes on a manly face

His clothes were high quality and he too had a gem glittering on his collar

While holding him, master sat down and placed him on his lap

It seems he is especially cherished

The two spoke for a bit, but after introducing us master once again disappeared

Since he told us to eat as well, I sat in a chair

"Umm….. I'm Rune, this is Rau"

Rune gave off a timid feeling as he made introductions

To say he is a warrior, he was muscled but thin and young

Although his face isn't as beautiful as an elf's, he has a manly and well-featured face

"Is master called s.h.i.+n-sama?"

"Eh? s.h.i.+n-sama, didn't introduce himself?"

His blankly staring face seemed young

He seems to be a dog beastman

—No, looking at his grey hair and ears, he seems more like a wolf

"Master said he was a demon G.o.d, but, was he serious?"

We knew less about master than Rune did so we asked him

"Yea, although s.h.i.+n-sama appears to be an adult, it hasn't even been a month since he was born"

I was surprised at Rune's words

(One month!?)

I completely couldn't tell

Is it because he's a demon G.o.d?

"Why are you two with master?"

I can't understand the reason two beastmen would be with a demon G.o.d

"We were saved by s.h.i.+n-sama, my village was attacked by demons and everyone was eaten by the demon king. Although I asked s.h.i.+n-sama for help, my beast form was sealed by leg shackles and didn't make it in time. I, and Rau who wasn't found by the demons, intended to go look for another beastman village, but since it was dangerous he said to just come live in the castle….."

Inside me, my image of a demon G.o.d crumbled

For a demon G.o.d to go save a beastman……

"However, we don't know s.h.i.+n-sama that well, it's just because I resemble his acquaintance, and since he seems to like children, Rau is normally treated affectionately"

"Master's acquaintance?"

Even though it hadn't even been a month since he was born, he had such a thing?

"Ah, because of his previous existence, he said he had the memories of his previous existence"

My mind became scrambled

Demon G.o.ds had such a thing as a previous existence?

Even if that's true, isn't he still a demon G.o.d?

However, I understand that he cherishes these two

"How old are you? I'm 110"

"Eh……"

Rune's eyes became round

It seems he didn't know an elf's lifespan

"I am 125 years old" (Ro)

"…….."

He seems to be at a loss for words when hearing the young looking Rona's age

However since a spirit's life expectancy is 500 years, for spirits he's still young

"…….I am 22 years old, Rau is four"

I had heard that a beastmen rarely live out their entire lifespan

Although it seems with beastform their physical abilities increase, it's not to an unbelievable extent

Because of that they are easy to catch

These two are still so young

Compared to me these two are still only children

However, they are different from us who were bought

We were told that we were bought for the sake of these two

Work to do is less than expected though

The meal finished and Rau ran off to call s.h.i.+n-sama

After a short time, master appeared

Rau couldn't be seen

The master without his veil on

His appearance was a beauty unthinkable for this world

I even think it divine, even if he's a demon G.o.d there's no question he's a G.o.d……

He once again carefully holds Rune and walks out

"Come with me"

He looks back at us for a moment and calls out to us as he leaves the dining room

After that, we chase after him

"This is Dea's and that is Rona's room"

The rooms he gave us were huge, extravagant rooms

It was bigger than the house I lived in when I was in the village

"Don't go to other rooms. I don't know what could be in them after all"

The moment after he said he disappeared together with Rune

(Giving such a room to slaves….)

Normally such treatment is unthinkable

I was bought by a good master

——Although he's a demon G.o.d
