Hassan, the slave of another world
002 –
I was looking at Elfriede with anxious eyes.
Elfriede runs her palm over the makeshift tent she built for herself and the sleeping bags spread inside.
“Huh-, good. The sleeping bag was laid out well. As expected, you came to your senses after being hit. This is why slaves have to be beaten once every three days. Good job.”
“Go, thank you.”
And so, the necklace of passing is given to me.
That wicked fairy guy is usually quite picky about where he sleeps.
Since it was common to get rejected once or twice and then have to try again, I could say that I was quite lucky to have passed on the first try today.
Canfriden.
You little punk!
“I have a shitty feeling right now.”
“Oh, no.”
Tingling.
Elfriede’s red eyes, wide open and squinting, glared at me. This woman is more perceptive than I thought, so it’s not easy to curse her inwardly.
I pretend not to know anything and put on an innocent expression as I finish preparing the other guys’ tents and sleeping bags.
It was around this time that the preliminary work on the camp was roughly finished.
“Hotsan. Come and rub my shoulders.”
In the middle of a wide open space in an underground ruins, just as I was lighting a bonfire, Elfriede, who was doing her job, called out to me with perfect timing.
I dusted my dusty palms and stood behind Elfriede, who was sitting on a small stool in front of her tent.
“Knead it a little harder. My shoulders hurt from lifting heavy loads all day. Even whipping them is too much.”
You’re a bad bitch for carrying heavy loads! I carried all your luggage!
I really wanted to shout that, but I held back.
The Silver-rank adventurer Elfriede is a monster that easily surpasses me in terms of fighting power and brute force. If I’m level 2, then this woman’s level would be around 30.
If we fight, I will definitely lose.
And since this cannon has my leash in its grasp, I cannot tolerate any rebellion.
I had no choice but to rub Elfriede’s shoulder.
“Yes, that’s right. Oh, that’s good. You’re such a useless person, but you’re good at giving massages. Are all of you Samaritans like this?”
Samaritans are the black-haired savages, including me. Crazy lunatics who run through the wilderness and scream into the air.
How would I know what those kids are like?
“Well, I don’t know about the others. I learned a lot from my father-.”
I thought of my father, who ran a health center and a back-door chiropractic clinic at the same time.
The director’s office was filled with human models and acupressure points. I was asked to take over the night health center and received some boring training.
I thought it was a very boring sight, but the memories and experiences from that time are helping me a lot now.
Elfriede, who is receiving a massage, is relatively more docile.
“Yeah, that’s perfect. Hmm-.”
Elfriede shivered as if she were very satisfied.
Kwuk-.
I can feel my shoulders tense up so clearly that it can be seen through my clothes. Why do my shoulders get so tense every day, even though I don’t carry a single thing?
I glanced down and looked at Elfriede’s front porch.
Ta-da.
There is a large, voluptuous hill there that cannot be hidden even by the tight-fitting leather armor characteristic of adventurers.
Indeed, they are forest fairies. They are beings who are promised abundance by the forest god or something, and bear delicious fruit.
If you wear something like that all the time, your shoulders will get stiff every day.
“Okay, enough with the shoulders. Now let’s rub the legs.”
“yes.”
Whoosh, whoosh-.
With my short answer, Elfriede took off her boots and exposed her bare feet to me.
I kneel down in front of him and repeatedly press his thin calves, ankles, and bare white soles with my palms and fingers.
My feet were so cold that I didn’t think they were feet that had been wearing long boots for a long time.
I felt a little sweaty, but if I complained about that, I’d be beaten to death.
“Hmph!”
Elfriede twists her body as if in great pain when her soft and pliable flesh, just above her heel, is pressed hard with her thumb.
Hic-.
I realized that I had failed to control my strength and shrugged my shoulders for a moment. I was prepared to be slapped right then and there. However, Elfriede frowned and shouted fiercely.
“Your hand has stopped! It’s just right, so keep pressing hard.”
“Yes, yes.”
Kook-kook.
I pressed down on the guy’s sole with as much force as I could, squeezing the strength out of my thick palm.
Every time, the fairy girl would let out a strange scream of “Huh-huh. Hua-ah-” and my stress seemed to ease a little.
Your uterus is not in good condition. Your kidneys are not in good condition either. You will suffer more, you bitch.
“Okay, Joe, okay, just push hard like that.”
“yes.”
“I’m so jealous.”
“Fuck, I wish I could feel those calves.”
“I wish you would step on me with those feet.”
While the humiliating massage was continuing, the voices of the men were heard chattering. The three adventurers, excluding Elfriede.
These guys are like a bodyguard who are fascinated by this fairy’s pretty appearance and serve her like a queen bee. They seem to be jealous of me pressing down on the woman’s thighs and calves as if I were kneading rice cakes.
If I hadn’t been a slave, I might have thought the same thing.
Elfriede’s personality is very ugly, but her appearance and body are as slender and graceful as a fairy’s. There are men who flirt with her several times a day.
If I could touch a woman like this, I’d be a healthy man with a toned lower body.
But my lower body doesn’t move at all.
There is no rush of blood, not even this much.
The reason is because of the slave imprint called “The Curse of Two Sas” that I am suffering from.
It was such a terrifying curse that my lower body froze like stone and I couldn’t move at all.
If you’re worried about enslaving a healthy male, you could just cut off his testicles. That’s because many men won’t be able to keep up. This method is more expensive, but it’s more effective.
The words of the ten slave traders who captured and sold me automatically play in my ears.
The curse he put on me, “The Two Swords Curse,” tied my pride to Elfriede like a leash, forcing me to follow her every word.
They say that the only one who can lift this curse is my master, Elfriede.
“Your hands stopped moving again! Stop being lazy! You’re thinking about some fucking other stuff again!”
slap-.
“Ugh-!”
*
Shit, this is a strange ceiling.
“Hey, wake up. Are you going to keep being lazy?”
When I opened my eyes, I saw Elfriede looking down at me with a cold gaze. I got up from near the campfire and quickly turned my head.
“It happened.”
From the beginning to the middle of the night shift, I was the only one who stayed awake more than the others. I think I closed my eyes for a moment, but it seemed like it was already time to wake up.
“Quickly pack up your sleeping bags and tents. It’ll make the trip unnecessarily long and annoying. If you’re late because of me, I’ll whip you.”
“I’ll clean it up quickly.”
As I packed up the adventurers’ sleeping bags and tents and stuffed them into my backpack, I suddenly wondered how I had ended up in this situation.
slave.
It seems that being a slave really makes me a slave.
Being bullied and beaten every day is bound to break the pride and dignity of even a physically fit man.
I knew a few men who had been sold into slavery like me, and were completely ruined. Drooling, idiots who just laughed and laughed at the crumbs that fell on the floor.
If I don’t come to my senses, I might end up like that too.
And even if you come to your senses, if your life as a slave continues for a long time, one day you will become such a broken person.
I can never see that sight again.
As I finished packing and hoisted my heavy backpack onto my back, I saw Elfriede chattering to her party members.
“We have to get out of this ruins today, so we’ll hurry a little bit. According to the investigation, there seems to be an altar up ahead. We just need to grab the relics there and get out.”
Things like altars and relics were outside my interest, but I agreed to leave the ruins today.
If I receive even a small amount of money as a reward for this work, I will have collected 30 silver coins.
Because I will pay my ransom and be free.
It was about time I made my way through the thick spider webs that were hanging everywhere.
Kiiik- Geugigik-!
As we walked through the deep corridors of the catacombs, we saw a giant spider running towards us, screaming. It was a spider crab as big as a human torso.
It is a monster called the Giant Arachnid.
Drumroll drumroll-.
Eight legs with long, lush hair growing out of them. Eight eyes illuminated by torchlight in the darkness are so terrifying that they make goosebumps appear on your back.
Fuck, I hate spiders!
Because of my childhood memories with my father, I had a lot of what could be called trauma regarding spiders.
I hate spiders smaller than the palm of my hand, but I hate spiders as big as a human body.
Realuda is freaking scary. If I get stabbed by a fang as thick as my forearm, I’ll die without even being able to scream!
“Ifrit.”
However, as Elfriede, with a calm expression, uttered a small spell, the giant spider’s body was soon hit by a fireball and burst into flames.
Fire magic.
It’s been two years since I came to this world, but I still can’t get used to that magic.
Magic is so damn strong!
“What are you doing? Dismantle it quickly.”
Elfriede gave me a command while I was blankly staring at the burning spider. I snapped out of my thoughts and pulled out a dagger from my bosom.
Oh my god-.
And then I cleverly cut off the charred carapace of the giant spider. I do chores like disposing of the corpses of monsters and beasts.
Crunch. Crunch.
The giant arachne’s legs and shell, which can be called its shell, are apparently used as material for quite expensive armor. The rest of the parts are just trash.
Fluffy-.
It was just like trash, but looking at its white, ripe flesh made my mouth water.
Damn, I felt ashamed of myself for appetizing the flesh of such a giant spider.
There was no way I could be given proper meals as a slave, so I had to scrape together the money for the occasional meal and the inn fee to make 30 silver coins.
To me, who suffered from chronic hunger, the flesh was white and plump, and it looked as delicious as shrimp or crab.
Since the name is Aracrab, it must be a crab.
Many adventurers say that they eat the flesh and meat of monsters. Let’s just have a taste.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to hurry up?”
“Oh, yes, I’m done.”
I snapped out of my thoughts and started to work diligently with my hands.
My backpack, filled with thick and sturdy spider skins, felt even heavier, almost like a pile of gear for a march. In fact, it was no different.
“We’re almost there. Here you can see it. Pluto’s sign.”
Elfriede, who had been walking down a dark hallway for a while, runs her palm over the cold, hard stone wall. Then, a six-petaled sign resembling a sextant is revealed as dust falls.
“It’s a daffodil sign.”
“You’ve come to the right place. It’s just as you said, Elfriede!”
“As expected, you’re a silver-rank adventurer. You reached the depths without a map.”
I couldn’t help but frown at the sight of three men who admired Elfriede, each trying to please her with their own words.
Those idiots.
As I unintentionally step away from my sexual desires and look at such a sight, I am struck by philosophical questions about what a man is and what reproduction is.
“Ugh-.”
Elfriede also listened to the stories with an indifferent expression and continued to run her palm over the stone wall.
“Don’t just stand there, look around. There’s probably a door or device leading to a secret passage somewhere. Pluto’s ruins are usually like that.”
At those words, the men began to move their hands busily against the stone wall, as if trying to score points against Elfriede.
I also pretended to roughly run my hand over the walls. Then, something clicked on my hand and a brick went inward.
Woooooo-.
At the same time, the underground walls of the ruins began to shake violently, and there was a sense of structural change. What soon appeared was an open wall on the side, and a dark, narrow corridor leading into it.
Elfriede, who had been watching me with narrow eyes, congratulates me.
“Hatsan, you found it? Good job. I’ll give you extra allowance. You can buy something delicious for dinner tonight.”
“Yes, thank you.”
The scary thing about Elfriede is that she has a clear perspective on rewards and punishments. It could be said that she has a natural talent for dealing with slaves.
I find myself feeling good when I hear her compliments. Is this what it means to have a slave mentality?
“Tch, you little slave-.”
However, the jealous stares from men flying at me are very harsh and annoying.
There is nothing more terrible than the jealousy and infatuation that men have over women.
Anyway, we walked through the secret passage of the underground ruins. The silver-rank quest that had been going on for two days was almost coming to an end.
Thud thud.
I was walking quietly behind the adventurers, holding a torch, thinking about becoming free.
Because I discovered the secret entrance and made Elfriede feel good, she said she would pay me extra.
Then you might have a little more than thirty silver coins.
If you want to become an adventurer, it would be a good idea to equip yourself with equipment such as weapons and armour.
I was happily pondering what to do with my remaining money.
“It’s a relic. There’s a real relic.”
“It’s true, Elfriede. At least it’s an epic-level relic!”
Elfriede and the men stopped walking, so I stopped walking too.
In front of us was a huge platform with something like a pole stuck into it.
I don’t know what that is, but judging from the excitement among the adventurers, including Elfriede, I think it’s an important and expensive item.
“Okay, Hassan, go up to the stage and get that.”
“yes?”
