High Elves or whatever you call them: ......
　High elves are the kind of people who get tattoos like this: ....... d*mn it, I thought it was a priestess, but it's not quite the same: .......

　But I wonder if tattooed women are a thing in this world. The tattoo itself is rarely seen in real life in Japan, so it has a very strong impact. This girl is going to be my slave. ...... I don't know what this feeling is .......
　And it's like royalty and .......


　Three people sitting in front of me with a f*cking serious face. Mr. Efta, the elf man, and the tattooed high elf girl.

　...... Hey, why doesn't anyone talk about anything!　I can't stand it when that tattooed high elf girl just stares at me.


Gohon. You don't say anything, do you, Jiro?

　And Mr. Efta. That's your line over here, isn't it? What do you want me to do?


'Let's go through the steps at ......, shall we? This is Deanna-san. Actually, Deanna-san isn't an ordinary elf, she's a High Elf tribe ......, or, to put it simply, she's a kind of elven royalty. The High Elves don't come down to the lower realms very often, and they don't have any real power, so they're not really known for it.

　I see: ....... Rebecca, who knew about the lesser-known High Elves, Pa.
　But they're really royalty, aren't they? How can royalty be a slave .......
　It's good that they were just ordinary slaves ....... Or rather, it would have been better to be a normal slave .......


'You have a look of suspicion on your face, Mr. Giraud. I know how you feel, but please listen to me. Do you believe in this thing called fate, ............ Jiro-san?

　What did this guy say all of a sudden?
　I guess he took it as an affirmation that I was at a loss for an answer, but Mr. Efta didn't pay much attention to it and continued to talk.


It is said that the High Elves are the race most beloved by the Great Spirit of Le Baraka, the Great Spirit of Fate. And they only receive a 'special guidance' once in their lives, which is really special. ...... They are moved to involve the people involved and force the guidance to be accomplished. Before he or she even knows it. In a neat way, it's like being guided by fate.

　It's the led ones, I know.
　I'm a merchant, so I'm in the cat position. It's not a good idea.


............ By the way, Jirou-san, why did you decide to take this suspicious game?

'That's ............ somehow I didn't feel like losing ....... Which means?

'For my part, I wasn't sure, and I'm not actually sure even now, but I was wondering if there was a strong possibility that Jirou-san was already involved at that point.

Well, you mean, for that special guidance?　What is that guidance?　If you were involved, you have a place to return to, don't you?


I'm not supposed to tell anyone the contents of the roadmap.

　A high elf girl suddenly opens her mouth. Oh, you have a cute little voice.


''Yes. It seems that Deanna is right that this particular guidance is something that must not be known to others. But I can guess. The previous process was probably 'becoming a slave' or something similar.

It's a secret.

　Okay. If it's a secret, it can't be helped.


''I don't know what the next step is, but in order, of course it would be 'find someone to slave to and serve' or something close to it. And that's when I met Jirou-san: ....... That's what fate has in store for me. That's how it happened that I approached that match.

'You think I'm a potential candidate to serve that ...... Deanna, and you're offering me a match?　So you didn't have to play a separate game?

As I said earlier, I wasn't sure, and I'm on the edge of a merchant, so ....... All I can say is that I worked to gain as much as possible.

............?

'As for the game ......, it was already decided at that point in time that if Mr. Jirou was involved, he would definitely be sitting in this seat. Fate will always guide you to do so. And that's the compulsion of the High Elves' guidance.

Hmm?　Can you break it down a bit more, please?　I don't quite get the point: ......

'Yes, you're right: ....... That means that if you were involved, then whatever Mr. Giraud gave the mayor, the mayor would have been happy to receive it.

　All my 15 days of hard work have been negated!　
　Do you have any idea how much money you've spent?


So, whether you're involved or not, you've hit a no-lose game. ...... Well, I was surprised that I didn't expect such an elaborate gift. And that would have raised the possibility that I would have won the game even if I hadn't gotten involved. And that's why I'm still not sure.

'So it was a win-win-win game for Mr. Efta, whether he won or lost? I would love to know what kind of deal you had with the mayor. ...... But wouldn't it be a loss to give this ...... Deanna to me?

...... No, that's the biggest gain of all.

　Oh, really?　You should lose some.

"In fact, the Solo family has had an agreement with the High Elves for generations in exchange for their support of this 'special guidance'. We've made a lot of progress, and the guidance will be accomplished soon. When that happens, it will be of great benefit to me and to the Solo family.


　I see. ....... I'm already interested in it. I took the liberty of identifying him as a playboy, but he's more skilled than I thought.

　The picture drawn by Mr. Efta in this game is ...... and if I'm not guided and I lose, he makes 10 spirit stones. If I'm not led and I win, I'll make money on the deal with the mayor. If I'm led, I'll definitely win and make money on the deal with the mayor, and I'll also make money on the willingness of the high elves to guide me.
　So, as the elf man said at the time of the spirit contract, it wasn't a loss no matter how it turned out.

　...... Well, it's not a loss for me either, and that's fine. I feel like I've been rolled over a bit well.

　But ......, is it possible for you to be guided to become a slave? It's too much of a big spirit.


...... But Deanna is a slave, isn't she?　You didn't have to be me to sell it, did you?　And if it sells, that means it was meant to be, right?

As I explained to you when we first met, we can't agree on terms with those who are looking for so-called elf slaves. There are several reasons for this, but the biggest one is that 'if you do anything strange to the high elves, it will lead to interspecies problems'. ...... There are several circumstances, but the biggest one is still that 'if you do something strange to the High Elves, it will lead to inter-species problems. Please be careful about this, Jirou-san.

What is the weirdest thing ......?

'When it comes to your own slaves, whether they are s*x slaves or not, that's the way it's usually done (・・・・・・). And it's safe to say that none of the slaves would ever sue their masters for it. ......, but in this case it's not going to be that way. That's what I mean.

'Nah, I see... ......

　They say there's a backstory to every good story, but there's too much backstory!　It was almost all behind the scenes!

What are the other circumstances at ......?

'This is hard to say in front of him: ....... First of all, his appearance, or rather, the fact that many people would probably reject the patterns on his entire body. The fact that she can only use spirit magic to a limited extent during "Special Guidance". Furthermore, she is royalty. In other words, it's also important to note that she has never done any work that a servant would do.


　Oh.............

　What kind of eroticism is that, like enslaving a limping princess in another world ......?　But in reality, if you mess with it, there are interspecies problems, a heavy looking tattooed girl, a little bit of spirit magic, and she can't cook or clean!
　It's cute, too, saying "Efta is rude," but the gap between that and the tattoos is awesome...

　But ......, I thought I just wanted a text-readable bodyguard for inter-world trade?
　No, ......, maybe it was my fault for wanting an elf slave or being greedy. Something like that too, whatever elves are!　And I can't deny that I was thinking, "What's wrong with that?

　But it's getting to the point where I have to protect him. Geez.

　I don't know what expression I had on my face at the time, but Deanna, who had been staring at me intently while I was talking to Mr. Efta, said, "It's okay, master.


She said, "It's all right, master. Everyone will be better when you give us guidance. So I'd like to thank you for your support.



　～The Trial in the Brain of Aya Hasejiro


'Well, I know this is sudden, but we'd like to hold the 754th brain trial. This time the case is 'Do you think this time. Can you forgive me?　I mean, seriously, what are we going to do?　Are we getting out of here? sir.

"Guilty. That Efta guy is a real outcast. I spent about 700,000 in Japanese yen!
'Guilty (guilty). My dream of an elf girl and lovey-dovey H is lost and I don't even know what to hope for anymore and what I'm going to do with my life from here on out. I'm crying right now!
'Guilty (guilty). I wanted to own a slave in a more lite sense, but it's a bit heavy, like one big quest in your life or something~
'Guilty. I would have preferred a girl with bigger boobs.

No, wait, guys. I know how you feel. But what did she just say?　Didn't you say Lady Goshujin? That's right, I'm her master now!　I can forgive myself for that already!　Not Guilty!

'Judgment. I felt like I could forgive everything because that boy said he was my master, in this other corner of the world.

　～The trial in the brain is over.



'............ Efta. Didn't you think that I would say I would stop enslaving her if I exposed such negative information?


　What the hell, I'm not going to stop now.

　If you don't take the tattoo thing out of the equation, High Elf, you're stylish and cute. Too bad about her breasts, but she has a nice ass!　Her legs are long and her hair is beautiful. Well, a little more flesh would have been nice to say.

　Huh?　Or is this feeling also generated by the compulsion of your guidance?　


'No, I don't think so. I can't tell you this because you're not allowed to talk about it, but you can't dissuade me from this contract anymore no matter what. ...... And even if you don't, I have a spirit contract with you. 'You will receive the elf girl from me if you win. And you said it in the beginning. You said it was your dream to get an elf.

Hmm?　Is that a breach of contract if I didn't receive it?　That's a bit ambiguous.

'Yes. It's ambiguous. ...... It might not be a deal breaker for you, would you like to try it?

...... uh, no thanks.

　I'm sorry. Efta, I have a bad character!





　◇◆◆◆◆◇.






　After that, I made a spirit contract with me and my high elf daughter Deanna, signed the receipt, and the contract was completed without a hitch.

　I get out my vocation board and check the contents.


　 -----------------------

　[Spiritual Contract]
　Slavery Contract Outline with Jiro Ayase and Deanna Luna Arbella
　Deanna may work in moderation as a slave owned by Giraud.
　It is Giraud's responsibility as the owner of Deanna to ensure that she is well compensated for her services.
　This contract may be revoked at any time with the consent of both parties.
　If this contract is not fulfilled, Giraud's blessing is forfeited if it is not fulfilled.

　 -----------------------



　...... hmm?　
　Huh?　I'm biased, aren't I?　I'm at a disadvantage, aren't I?
　This is significantly different from the contract we just discussed and agreed upon!

...... Oh, Giraud, I forgot to mention that. I heard that the spirit contract with the high elves can be greatly adapted by the spirits on their own, so please be careful. Hmmm.

　Look!　This Efta's joyful grin!　This isn't a footnote!


'Oh ......, now I am already a slave ....... You're going to be put in a collar by your master and made to walk around town ....... And then they'll put you in a freak show ......, oh ......, master, you're so rude .......

　Weird fantasies are pouring out of my mouth over here!　Shut your mouth!
