“Well, I have overstated the whole matter a little. The German law does not allow slavery, so owning a person is impossible. What I am here to do is to transfer all of Whito-sama’s property to you, Lekishu-san.”

“Furthermore, according to the contract anything that ever becomes Whito-sama’s property in the future will also be transferred to you.”, Mr. Awakase was completely calm despite saying such outrageous things.

“Of course, in return you have to take care of Whito-sama until your or her death. Otherwise she will instantly regain her property.”

Well at least this part did make sense.

I stared at Shiina and waited for her to say something.

“I’m a pet, what do I need property for?”, Shiina said with a cute smile.

How was I supposed to refute that?!

“Shiina…”, I took her hands and looked into her eyes with a serious look in my eyes.

“Why would you do that?”, it really made no sense!

Sure, nothing about the relationship between Shiina and me made any sense, but this time it was even more ridiculous! How could a cute, intelligent, naïve girl like Shiina, a beautiful girl who could easily earn millions if she became a model, choose to do such an insane thing? Seriously, taking aside all jokes and tropes, could I even allow that?

Shiina grinned.

“This way you can’t get rid of me without feeling the pinch.”

Gooood her excuses were too adorable!!!!

I did not know what to say and looked over to Mr. Awakase, hoping that at least he as her lawyer would say something about it. I should have known better, after all he had come here despite knowing what he was about to do!

“You seem to be a good man, Lekishu-san. It’s Whito-samas good fortune to find someone like you instead of ending up like her younger sister.”, well Mr. Awakase did well in destroying my hopes.

But what could you expect of Shiina’s lawyer?! I guess he knows about Shiina’s strange condition and her even stranger way of life.

That said, didn’t he mention something important right there?!

“Wait…”, I suddenly realized it and turned to Shiina.

“You have a younger sister?!”, my voice turned kind of shrill.

Shiina nodded.

“She’s two years younger than me.”

My eyebrow twitched. Two years younger… that meant 16?

Shiina already looked like 14 even though being 18. Well to be honest if you did not know her real age you would guess her to be 13….

If Shiina’s sister was 16…. Didn’t that mean she looked like 11????!

My expression turned weird and the lawyer Awakase coughed awkwardly. He must have guessed what I thought about. Shiina on the other side suddenly smiled happily.

“If you like younger bodies, I can get my sister and she will also be your pet!”, oh god, I’m really glad that the only (somewhat) normal person in this room is Awakase who is Shinna’s lawyer and won’t sue me for this shit.

“Shiina… let’s never talk about this again.”, I say with absolute seriousness.

She laughed.

“You… are really anxious not to be seen as Pedophile, aren’t you?!”, this girl…..

“It’s to late for that…”, I mumbled under my breath.

Mr. Awakase laughed, it seemed like he enjoyed our bickering.

“As I said, you are a great person Lekishu-san. Now, will you please sign the papers?”, he showed me the space where I had to sign.

I gave Shiina one last look to make sure she really wanted this. She smiled and nodded.

With a sign I placed my signature on the document.

Mr. Awakase smiled satisfied and gave me his hand.

“I congratulate you, Lekishu-san. You just became hair to the Whito heritage!”, I was confused by his words, but Shiina quickly took control of the conversation and changed the topic.

Some time later Mr. Awakase was leaving.

“It seems like the storm is quite strong.”, I said a little bit worried.

Outside heavy rain was falling, and lightning illuminated the dark sky. Claps of thunder roared and made Shiina flinch every time.

Mr. Awakase laughed and shook his head.

“My car is parked right in front of the building, I will be fine!”, with that he left the flat and left me and Shiina alone.

A quick glance to the clock told me that it was already 9pm in the evening. Had we really talked this long? By now we really should go to bed since I had another lecture tomorrow morning.

I did some quick cleaning and took care of the dirty plates and then we prepared to go to bed.

Shiina went on her own and got the cuffs from the animal room. It seemed like she really wanted to go through with this one. As said before I kind of enjoyed the view of Shiina being restrained, so I willingly helped her to attach the cuffs and even carried Shiina to her futon.

It was really cute how she curled into a small ball while being carried. A strange sweet feeling arose in my chest and I couldn’t help but grin foolishly. Shiina blinked once and also smiled.

After having taken care of Shiina I turned off the light and also went to bed. Outside the storm was still raging and strong winds pulled on the blinds of the windows. Over and over again loud thunder echoed through the flat and I could hear a muffled cry from the living room.

About half an hour after I went to bed I could hear the sound of Shiina crawling over to my bed.

“Can…I sleep here?”, Shiina asked and tried to look extra cute.

Seriously that’s overkill, please stop!

“Are you afraid of thunder?”, I asked a little bit teasing.

Shiina looked embarrassed but nodded nonetheless. It seems the lightning and thunder really tired her out.

“Hop in.”, I said and lift the blanket, signaling her to lay down there.

She made a small jump on all fours and laid down where I told her to. There she once again curled up into a ball, still slightly trembling whenever a clap of thunder echoed.

Out of some reflex I suddenly embraced her belly and pressed her to my body. She stiffened up for a moment but relaxed as soon as she realized what happened. In fact, she even snuggled herself against me.

After that the thunder and loud winds did not stress her out as much as before. Content with having solved this problem I fell asleep.
