Chapter 8

This time, it's a bit short.

I edited the status a little.

It has been two weeks since Kyousai became an adventurer.

Kyousai and Misha's ranks had reached 5.

Over the past two weeks, Kyousai had been stealing skills, while Misha finished off the enemies, mainly focusing on leveling up Misha.

They also completed quests on the side, and in two weeks, their ranks had risen to 5.

Normally, this would be a bit early, but the speed at which they progressed was abnormal.

And today is also the day their inn stay expires.

There's one more thing: Kyousai had been planning to talk to Misha about himself.

"Miisha"

"What is it?"

"When we get back to the inn, I have something important to talk about."

"...Yes."

Misha answered sadly.

However, Kyousai didn't notice and headed to the inn.

...

Back at the inn, to prevent eavesdropping, he created a soundproof room using wind magic.

"Do you know what I want to talk about?"

"Yes..."

"Alright, let's get to the point."

"Thank you for everything."

Misha suddenly bowed, leaving Kyousai confused.

(Huh? Huh? What? Why is she bowing? Thank you for everything? I don't get it.)

While he was thinking this, Misha continued.

"It was a short time, but I was really happy to have you, Kyousai-sama, as my master."

"Wait a minute. What do you mean by that?"

"You were supposed to buy a combat slave, right? But I was a burden... and in the end, you even helped me level up... So, you're going to sell me, right?"

Misha was on the verge of tears.

Kyousai was speechless and flabbergasted at such a Misha.

"Are you an idiot?"

"Huh?"

Misha was confused by being called "you" after a long time and suddenly being called an idiot.

"Why would I have to sell you? Do I look like someone who sells their companions? If you think so, I'll start over from scratch. Besides, the reason I bought you as a slave was to learn about this world. I only needed you to be strong enough not to fall apart in combat."

"Then... I won't be sold?"

"I've told you this many times. I won't let you go. If someone tries to take you by force, I'll kill them without hesitation."

"But what if someone stronger than you comes along..."

"Hah, stronger than me? Can you still say that after seeing this?"

Saying that, Kyousai showed Misha his status.

"Wh...!!"

Misha sat down and started trembling.

(No wonder she's scared.)

While her level was lower, the difference in status was too great.

Misha then fainted.

...

Misha woke up in the middle of the night.

"You're awake."

Misha jumped at the sound but quickly responded.

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

"It's fine. But since you just woke up, can you answer one question for me?"

"...Yes."

"Are you afraid of me?"

There was a pause before the answer came.

"No, I'm not afraid."

"You don't have to force it."

"I'm not forcing it. Your status is high, but I don't think Kyousai-sama would misuse it, right?"

"Right."

At this moment, Kyousai casually replied but was very happy.

"Then, I'm not scary. But can I ask you one thing?"

"What is it?"

Misha took a deep breath before speaking.

"Is Kyousai-sama a reincarnation of a demon god?"

"Demon god?"

"Yes. In the past, the demon god had overwhelming status despite being low level, strengthened the monsters under his command, and fought the gods. Kyousai-sama already has over a billion in status at this level... I thought maybe..."

Misha asked Kyousai, slightly trembling.

"Ah, that's why. Unfortunately, I'm not a reincarnation of a demon god. I'm just a human who is unfamiliar with this world."

"But that status can't be human."

"Haha, you're right. And, I have a command for Misha."

"?"

"Never reveal my status to anyone."

"Understood."

"And—"

At this moment, though it was dark, Kyousai's face was smiling.

"If you feel in danger, come to me. Got it?"

"! Yes!!"

"Good answer. I'm going to sleep now."

"Okay, good night."

...

The next day, after breakfast, Kyousai paid for another week at the inn, saying they would stay a bit longer.

"There are only weak monsters around here, so it's hard to level up..."

"Kyousai-sama, there's no point in leveling up anymore, right..."

"No, no, not me. Misha."

"Me?"

Misha's status is as follows.

"Of course, fighting only goblins and low-level monsters makes it hard to level up, right?"

"That's true... It's more like one-sided bullying... but it's getting harder to level up."

"Right? So, I'm thinking of leaving this town in a week."

"Understood."

"Good. Let's go buy a slave right away."

"Eh!? Why is it like that!?"

Here, Kyousai's poor communication skills come into play.

"No, we're leaving the town."

"That doesn't explain it..."

"Don't worry, I'll still take care of you at night like before."

"! ...That's so unfair..."

And so, they headed to the slave shop.

...

"Welcome—Ah, it's Kyousai-sama."

"I'm here to buy a slave today."

"Understood. The same as last time?"

"Yes, please."

Kyousai and Misha were led to the same room as before.

I'm always looking for skill names, unique attribute names, character names, monster names, deity names, and weapon and armor names!

What should I do with the next slave...

What kinds of demi-humans are there?

Looking forward to your feedback!
