Marina was listening in to our conversation silently as she walked.
Marina is from the Turk tribe. When I tried asking about it, apparently dark elves do not exist here. Although she still has the appearance of a dark elf to me.
Evidently, those from the Turk tribe have longer life span than humans and their physical ability is slightly higher too……these are the few features of them.
Naturally they are not able to use the spirit magic and their life span is not as long as the elf race.
They are discriminated for having similar ears as the elves similarly to how the other people hold the elves in such high regard at the same time. It’s quite commendable. Well I guess it’s a natural for this country that holds a really strong belief in spirits.
She has roughly trimmed beautiful amethyst coloured hair and a not really dark brown skin that looks vibrant. All in all, she has healthy features.
She became a slave due to her parents’ debt. It’s a so called 「Debt Slave」. I didn’t manage to hear the story in detail but it’s usually a really heavy story isn’t it…….
Though from this world’s point of view, this is not an unusual thing…..
Marina who has likely heard something from the conversation kept glancing here and finally asked me a question timidly.
“M-my liege, may I know why did you b-b-buy Marina? Will you be able to accomplish anything? From a good-for-nothing person like Marina……I seriously can’t do anything.” [Marina]
Unlike how she was confidently making the oath and so on earlier, she appeared really worn out now. Were you just forcing yourself a while ago?
If I were to reply to her, 「I bought Marina because Marina is the cutest」 here, I should sound like an ikemen isn’t it?…… I have a feeling that my arms will likely be broken this time round so I wasn’t able to summon the courage to say it.
“I’m not from this neighbourhood nor do I have any prejudice against the Turk tribe. On top of that the price is also quite cheap.” [Ayase]
“Don’t you feel disgusted with Marina?” [Marina]
“Disgusted? No, not at all. I don’t have any unpleasant feelings towards you at all. I do find plenty of cute parts about you instead. I’m looking forward to boast about Marina to everyone in the country.” [Ayase]
“Hue…..m-my liege, it’s cruel of you t-to make fun of slaves. It’s impossible for Marina to have any cute parts at all……” [Marina]
“It’s not true, Marina. Marina is really cute.” [Ayase]
This is bad. In the end I have blurted it out at the spur of the moment.
The look of Marina blushing with slight tears in her eyes was really cute to the degree of me wanting to shout with a voice loud enough to reverberate through the 5 continents…..
“Alright, that’s enough.” [Rebecca]
And my arm ended up being twisted by Rebecca-san again.
I-It’s going to break! It’s seriously breaking for real this time!
