It has been an uneventful journey so far. We have spent a few days going to the third settlement. Within that timeframe, the girl has attempted to escape every night and has resulted in 10 more deaths. Just from her actions alone, 20 ruffians have been killed. An amazing record. Leader is getting more distressed by the day. He already knows that compining to me will have no effect as it is their fault.

  “Are you having fun?”

  “What?”

  We are now waiting for the news of the attack. So, I am spending my time engaging with the girl in my embrace.

  “Are you having fun getting all of them killed?”

  The girl does not respond.

  “You do not believe I would not notice, did you? It is obvious that your “escape” is you looking for ruffians to be killed.”

  The girl still does not respond.

  “No matter. You have done a significant damage to their numbers already. Regretfully, I still have use for them so stop here for now.”

  “Okay.”

  I can hear her dejected tone.

  “Do not worry. In the end, all of them would meet the same fate.”

  “Okay.”

  The girl nods and I can feel that she is happier now.

  “Now, tell me all about it.”

  “Huh?”

  “What did you do?”

  “Oh.”

  I can see the girl shift around and she looks over to Sylvia. A slight nod from her and the girl starts to talk. It seems they developed a bond over killing some ruffians.

  “I was really scared at first. I froze up multiple times. Seeing them up close really frightened me. I didn’t know what to do and they all looked so scary. Your, um, friend helped me so I am not that scared but it’s still scary.”

  “My friend, you say? Did they tell you, their name?”

  “N-no.”

  “Are you sure? If they told you their name and you hid it from me, I will do something more extreme with you.”

  “H-huh!? No, no, no. They didn’t tell me their name.”

  “Good girl. The less you know, the better.”

  I pat her head and she continues.

  “It did get harder recently. It, um, takes longer for any of them to approach me now.”

  That is why her “escapes” are taking longer. Their leader had probably already warned them to not engage or else they would die.

  “One time, I tripped and hit a tree. It hurt a lot and then one of them tried to do something.”

  Ah, the cssic accident. Typical ruffian behavior, they cannot stop themselves.

  “So, I, um, “tripped” a few more times and it happened again.”

  “You say you tripped but I have not seen any injuries on you.”

  “Oh, um, your friend has been helping me with that.”

  I look over to Sylvia and she nods in response.

  “It is so nice to see both of you getting along well.”

  “Y-yes. She has been taking good care of me.”

  “As she should, I have already stated that you are my property.”

  “Um, what is your retionship?”

  “In short, I own her.”

  “Oh, okay.”

  “Why do you ask? Were you thinking of something more?”

  “W-well, I haven’t seen you hug her once. So, I was just curious.”

  “Oh? Do you want me to hug her?”

  “H-huh!? I don’t really mind either way.”

  “No need to be nervous. There is a reason for this. Besides, I have you now.”

  An idea occurs to me.

  “Are you jealous?”

  The girl and I look towards Sylvia. Sylvia does not respond.

  “Do you want to be hugged? Do you want to be in my embrace?

  The girl continues to look. Sylvia stays silent.

  “S-she’s not answering.”

  “Of course not. She is not allowed to answer.”

  “Oh. Is this some sort of py?”

  Her answers humor me and I almost ughed.

  “Yes. It is a type of py.”

  “Oh. Okay.”

  The girl easily accepts my words.

  “Time to go to sleep now. Remember, no more escapes.”

  “Okay!”

  The girl snuggles in my embrace and she does not try to escape this time.

  “Good girl.”

  It was the first thing I said to her when we woke up. She was smiling. It seems she has accepted her current faith.

  “Midy, we will be attacking tonight.

  Leader informed me as such. It was a standard procedure. These ruffians may be stupid but even stupid can do something properly with enough practice. So, it was a standard affair. They attacked at night and killed everyone else other than the women. It was getting boring. I had to entertain myself by pying with the girl. Good thing she is beautiful enough to distract me from these mundane things.

  “Midy, we have captured 18 people.”

  18? It seems that the number is getting lower every time. Could it be that they are hiding some of them from me? Possible but not worth my time to investigate. Though, this number is very close to the goal. They are hiding more women. This leader is probably making sure that I do not reach the number to continue this mission with them. There is only one obvious answer. I am the most beautiful, after all. They must be after my body.

  “10 will be for father.”

  “Of course, midy.”

  The ruffians started to enjoy themselves. I continue to watch. It still does not bring any form of excitement to me. I can at least confirm that watching is not my preference or maybe it is because of the people involved.

  “How boring. Come let us return to our tent.”

  So far, the amount gathered is 40. Of course, there is the possibility that none of them are being sent but that is father’s problem, not mine. We only have two pces left to go. Judging from what has happened so far, something will happen soon. Whether it is after the attack or during the attack. If everything goes well, things will end after all. Seriously, I hope something happens soon. This is all going too well. Ah. I am so bored.
