Chapter 13 - Her First Time is Because of Alcohol...?

Hearing what the young girl just asked him, Asmund’s already muddy mind completely froze.

What the hell did she just ask me?! -Asmund

…

As if she just now noticed what she said, the young girl’s cheeks turned red in shame as she tried to correct herself.

“Ah no! I meant…! That is… I wanted to ask… M-Make me your follower! Y-Yes, that what I wanted to ask…!” -Young girl

…

Although it’s less shocking, I still don’t get it. What does this tramp want with me? -Asmund

Sighing as he tried to understand the real meaning of her words, he couldn’t help but ask.

“You say to make you my sla… *Cough* ‘Follower’, but what do you mean by that? Or to be more precise… Just what do you want…? I’m warning you, I’m seriously exhausted and in a bad mood, piss me off and I won’t hesitate to behead you.” -Asmund

Listening to Asmund’s threat, the young girl who was still groveling felt shivers run down her spine.

… Is she shivering from fear? Why the hell does she have ‘that’ kind of face then… This girl is seriously starting to creep me out… -Asmund

“T-Thank you very much! N-No I mean… *Cough* I-I want to work for you! I don’t mind what you do to me, but please let me accompany you!” -Young girl

Looking at the groveling girl, Asmund pondered if it was a trap of some sort. And as he was staring at her, a screen appeared.

[ Human ♀ Level 1, Class: None ]

Useful… And it even tells the gender? Not that this point is really useful though… -Asmund

“You’re someone from the cafeteria?” -Asmund

“Heh? Ah yes, that’s correct, or to be more precise, I ‘was’ someone from the cafeteria. I ran away to go after you.” -Young girl

Asmund frowned as he heard that, as it didn’t made much sense to him.

“That’s what I don’t understand, why did you leave somewhere safe just to become my follower?” -Asmund

“It’s b-because that place wasn’t as safe as it seems… Women were treated as toys by the man in charge, there’s almost nothing left to drink, and food was getting sparse too. Yet that perverted fool refuses to leave his small kingdom. I felt that I would be safe and well fed if I followed you, a-and I was really in awe when I saw you fighting those monsters yesterday morning!” -Young girl

Hmmm… Let’s believe that it’s true for argument sake, should I take her under my service? Well, she 'is’ appealing, so I should at least taste her either way but that’s besides the point at the moment. Even if I employ her, since I still don’t have my kingdom there’s not much I can make her do. Cooking maybe? I mean it’s not like I will survive on snacks for long, and monsters are probably a viable source of food unless I absorb their blood essence. If I train her and help her kill monsters I could also make her take a helpful class too later on. All in all I should at least be strong enough to protect a single follower by now, so I don’t really see any reasons to not take what is given to me… If her story is true that is. -Asmund

…

“Let’s say that I’ll let you follow and serve me, what can you do exactly?” -Asmund

Seeing that Asmund wasn’t totally refusing her and even showing interest, the young girl beamed a smile, as she tried to list her uses.

“I-I’m good at housework! I-If you let me follow you I swear that I’ll follow your orders to the letter whatever they may be! And… And I-I’m a virgin!” -Young girl

“I-Is that so…” -Asmund

Was Asmund’s reaction, but in truth he was glad that this was the case. Yet it made her story even more doubtful.

“... But didn’t you just tell me that women were toys for the dumbass in charge of the cafeteria? Why were you left alone?” -Asmund

“Ah!” -Young girl

As if she realised that she dug her own grave, the girl put her hand over her mouth, as if to shut herself up. Even if it was already too late.

…

“I already told you to not make me lose my time, either tell me the truth or die.” -Asmund

“I-I already told you the truth! I swear! I-I just… Didn’t mention a small detail… B-But I only left it out because I was afraid that it would lead to misunderstandings! Really!” -Young girl

“Talk already!” -Asmund

“Y-Yes! I-I understand… The thing is… I’m named Fukuda Shiori, and I’m sorta... The perverted bastard’s little sister…” -Shiori

“Oh?” -Asmund

Slightly surprised, Asmund raised an eyebrow at this piece of information.

It would certainly explain why she wasn’t toyed with, and also explains why she seems quite healthy despite the shortage of drinks and food she was talking about. But if that’s really the case, why did she run away from her brother as he was treating her well? Don't tell me… -Asmund

"He was starting to look even at you as a potential 'playmate'?" -Asmund

“Yes that’s right! Since he fed me out of what little familial obligation he felt for me, I became the only girl among the people of the cafeteria who didn’t start to look like a mummy. And although I discovered right before all this happened that my brother was in reality a disgusting rapist, who used a gun to threaten a girl who rejected him and forced himself on her, I was still thankful and didn’t dare to say out loud what I was thinking of him… But some days ago, he started to look at me while licking his lips disgustingly, and I felt like it was only a question of time until I was next, but I had no way to run away with the monsters roaming around the hospital. And that’s when I saw ‘you’, taking care of the monsters like you were swatting flies. I thought at that moment that following you was probably the only way for me to survive outside.” -Shiori

“I see… I have two questions left for you then. Depending on how you answer them, then I’ll let you work for me.” -Asmund

“Yes! Please ask!” -Shiori

“Good, first, I want to ask, why do you seem fine with me doing whatever I want with you, when you ran away from your brother because he wanted to do just that.” -Asmund

“Oh… It’s because, my brother's a total creep… A-And... If it’s you I’m kinda fine with it…” -Shiori

Saying her last sentence with a barely audible voice, her whole face became red in shame, as if she couldn’t believe she really said that in front of him. But despite the shame a huge creepy smile was still on her face.

“Sounds legit, fine then, I’ll ask you my last question… You say that you are ready to do anything I ask of you. Then would you do it if I ask you to kill people?” -Asmund

“Yes!” -Shiori

No hesitation?! -Asmund

Though it wasn’t what I had in mind when I said ‘anything’. -Shiori

“Then what if I ask you to kill your brother?” -Asmund

“No problem! Actually it would be my pleasure!” -Shiori

…

This girl is a total nutcase… Not that I can talk… -Asmund

“Fine then, I’ll take you under my wing. But I warn you if you ever try anything against me, don’t obey me, or prove to be more of a hassle than you are useful, then be sure that I’ll kill you with my own hands and not in a nice way!” -Asmund

“Yes, Master!” -Shiori

“... Master?” -Asmund

“Yes! After all I’m like a maid now aren’t I? So I thought you would prefer for me to call you Master… Was that a bad idea?” -Shiori

“No, that’s fine, at least you know your place. Nevermind that, I’m seriously exhausted here and want to go back to bed, so I’ll give you your first order. Go fetch me the two cans of beer left in one of the vending machines south of here, and bring them back to my room. I will leave a key in the keyhole, so when you come back inside, think of locking the door behind you.” -Asmund

“Yes, Master!” -Shiori

Looking strangely hyped, Shiori ran to the south for her errand. Looking at her back, Asmund heaved a sigh as he was even more exhausted, mentally, after having to deal with this weirdo, and walked back inside, too tired to even think about doing kinky things with his new ‘possession’.

Waiting for Shiori to come back with the beers, Asmund mindlessly sat on the bed, hoping that she would hurry up so he could eat and go back to sleep.

“I’m back!” -Shiori

And right as he hoped, a cheerful voice was soon heard as the sound of the room’s door being opened was heard. Locking the door behind her as instructed, she quickly made her way to Asmund’s side to hand him his beers with a smile.

“Good job… Here, take one of the bags of the potato chips.” -Asmund

Grabbing the beers she was handing him, Asmund lazily told her what to do, before grabbing the two others for himself and opened them, before starting his meal… He was so hungry that he was barely able to taste the perfect combination of potato chips and beer…

Opening her own bag, Shiori seemed to be hesitant to ask something, which Asmund noticed from the corner of his sight.

Is she going to complain that I took two bags while she only has one? -Asmund

“H-Hmmm… Master… I-Is there possibly something to drink for me…?” -Shiori

Hearing her plea, Asmund tilted his head in confusion…

“Something to drink? Why don’t you simply use Water Chan… Ah! Of course, I forgot you didn’t even have that… I’m really out of it… Here, I’ll let it float for you, drink directly from it.” -Asmund

As he said that, Asmund stretched his arm in front of Shiori, and opened his palm while activating Water Channeling. Soon a ball of water gathered above it, directly floating in the air. That sight obviously startled Shiori who looked at this scene with her eyes wide open in shock, before looking more excited than ever.

“T-This is magic?! This is magic right, Master?!” -Shiori

Unlike the hyped Shiori, Asmund couldn’t really share her feeling as he was more than used to things much more incredible than such a simple skill.

“It’s only a cheap common skill, although I admit that it’s useful, it’s nothing special. And you can get the skill for only 100 Credits.” -Asmund

“Ohhh! W-When you’re talking about getting that skill for 100 Credits, are you talking about the System’s Shop thingy?” -Shiori

“Of course I do, don’t tell me that you guys didn’t even know about it’s uses.” -Asmund

“Urg… Actually, even though some of us were curious about it, my brother told us to not look at it, because it would gave us weird ideas and would do nothing but depress us to look at things we wouldn’t be able to get…” -Shiori

“Your brother is even more of a retard than I believed, then. There are free classes to take in there, which could have been useful for you guys to have around.” -Asmund

“Heh?! Seriously?!” -Shiori

“Yeah, but don’t try to get one, I already know which class I’m going to make you take, but until we have the funds to take it, you will stay without a class.” -Asmund

“I-I understand… But what kind of class is it, if I you don’t mind me asking?” -Shiori

“It’s the only hybrid sounding class of the Fighter rank classes. It’s called ‘Elite Maid’, and although it’s first active skill is useful it’s not really combat based. But then again all Fighter rank classes and above can learn fighting skills, so with that class you should be able to do your job as a servant, you should also be able to learn skills to fight. It’s growth bonus is ‘Constitution’ too, so it’s a class best fitted for people to be able to take hits.” -Asmund

“... Elite Maid, huh…” -Shiori

Staring at the ceiling, Shiori seemed to think about something, but didn’t sound displeased about Asmund’s choice of class for her.

“Hey… Are you going to make me keep wasting my mana or something?” -Asmund

Seeing as Shiori completely forgot about the ball of water, Asmund lost patience as his arm also became sore from the position he was in.

“A-Ah! Sorry, Master!” -Shiori

Putting her lips directly against the floating water, she drank it with loud gulping sounds. Some delight also appeared on her face, as the sensation of the cool and pure water went down her throat, really refreshing her.

“T-This water is really good for some reason! It’s really fresh too, so it feels good since the temperature is rising lately!” -Shiori

Ignoring her, Asmund kept munching his snack and drank his beers in silence. Soon finishing his meal, right as Shiori finished too despite the fact she had half the quantity of food.

“Alright, I’m going back to sleep, you can do whatever you want, but just know that even if I’m asleep, if you try anything against me then I’ll know it.” -Asmund

It was a complete bluff, but Asmund didn’t have the energy to think of a way to make things absolutely safe for him at the moment.

“D-Don’t worry, Master! I’ll never dare to do anything like that! On the contrary, if you get in danger I’ll protect you!” -Shiori

And how is a damn weakling supposed to protect me...? Whatever…

Undressing himself while Shiori took care of cleaning the bedsheets from the remains of their meal, he moved inside the bed after having nothing but his underwear on him. And soon after him, Shiori did exactly the same, and moved inside the bed in nothing but her plain white underwears. Leaving her be, Asmund closed his eyes, wanting nothing but sleep right now…

…

“... Master?” -Shiori

…

“What…?” -Asmund

As he answered her, a good amount of annoyance was heard in his voice.

“Are we going to hunt those dog monsters tomorrow?” -Shiori

“... Yeah… Is that a problem?” -Asmund

“No! I’m really excited! I’m so impatient to get stronger too!” -Shiori

“Fine then…” -Asmund

…

“Master?” -Shiori

“What?!” -Asmund

This time it was plain anger which was in his voice.

…

“We aren’t going to do it?” -Shiori

“Just let me sleep goddamn it!” -Asmund
