Lawless & Sinful Another World

“Lena, there’s something I want you to hear.”

Lena didn’t reply. Perhaps because slaves weren’t allowed to refuse. If you want to talk, then talk. That was probably what she was thinking.

Either way, since she was listening, I began to tell her about myself.

“I have my reasons, but I no longer have parents. There are also many common things that everyone else knows, but I don’t. The reason I bought you as a slave was because I thought I was weaker than any adventurer here. On top of that, I can’t use a single spell. I might be able to use something, but right now I can’t use anything at all. In other words, I’m below average in most things.”

Lena didn’t look at me. However, even though her gaze stayed the same, she stopped eating and listened carefully to what I was saying.

“But I believe my sense of ethics is above average. That means I won’t try to devour you or treat you roughly just because you’re a slave. Slave or not, I intend to treat you as one human being, as one girl, with care and respect.”

This was like a vow.

Even if Lena didn’t believe my words right away, by saying them clearly here, she would at least know what I was thinking. And at the same time, it would become the new normal between us.

It didn’t have to happen right away.

If by this time next year we could become companions who truly understood each other’s hearts, then my isekai story would be the best.

“You’re a strange person.”

Suddenly, Lena spoke.

I wasn’t going to let this chance slip, so I replied immediately.

“Am I?” “Yeah. Because even though you said all that and bought me, you still haven’t laid a hand on me.” “Ahh~… Yeah, that did happen…”

Only now did I regret trying to act cool back then. I shouldn’t have done that…

“I was sure you were that kind of person too…” (Too?)

There was a slight implication in her words that made me suspicious, but more than that, I wanted to deepen our relationship.

“Let me say it again clearly: I will never lay a hand on a young girl. Not even if the law didn’t exist.” “There’s no way such a law exists.” “Yeah, that was just an example.”

It was common sense for me, but for Lena it was something that didn’t exist in her world. I didn’t know how much trust my words carried, but I had to speak them out loud if I wanted to convey my feelings.

“So, I look forward to getting along with you, Lena.” “…Yeah.”

It was a small reply, but Lena definitely answered me. It was a small but real crystallization of trust that had been born between us.

“Excuse me…”

Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind. When I turned around, I was greeted by two very large breasts.

“Your boobs are talking!?” “Um…” “…Sigh~”

I only meant it half as a joke, but neither the beautiful woman in front of me nor Lena reacted. I continued speaking to the woman as if nothing had happened.

“Is something wrong?” “Um, sorry if I’m mistaken, but there was a woman with long light-brown hair sitting here earlier, right?” “Yes, that’s correct…” “You’re with her, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am.” “Actually, when I went to the restroom earlier, I found that woman collapsed. You should probably go check on her.” “S-She collapsed!? Is that true!?” “Yes. She probably drank too much alcohol and—” “Thank you! Lena, let’s go!”

I quickly said goodbye to the beautiful woman and rushed toward the restroom in the back of the tavern. Lena followed shortly after.

When we reached the toilet, just as the busty woman had said, Lorraine was slumped on the floor as if asleep. I desperately called out to her, but she was in a very deep sleep—probably from drinking too much—and showed no signs of waking up. So we carried her back to the inn we were staying at.

We rented a new room, left Lorraine there along with Lena to guard her, and I returned to the room I had rented earlier and went to sleep alone.
