The moment i finished saying those words, i hanged up the phone, much to the surprise of the woman in front of me, she thought that i might have been interested in chatting more or learning more about his motives and why he did so, but i couldn't care less about that .
I used the Shackles Of Time a dark art that bound the target in place binding him and completely stripping him out of his power, she seemed to be in shock for quite amount of different reasons, i believe one of them will be most surely the fact that i used dark art without inscribing the glyphs in the air .
The woman in front of me was not a normal woman, she was most certainly a Savior, she was Shirogane or at least that was what i presumed she was .
I crushed the phone that was beginning to ring one last time in hand and then i looked at the woman shackled in front of me and asked her directly about what her orders were, there was no reply from here, she just stared blankly as if she was already accepting her death, i really was wondering about how much money did they offer to her for her to be like that .
I once again asked her the same question after i pulled a chair and sat down, but this time i threatened her that if she didn't tell me about what she was tasked to do, i will be able to make her say it forcefully, but she won't like the results in the slightest .
It seemed that she was still not buying my threats, or she might have been thinking that she had seen worse in her line of work, one last time just so that i clear my conscious from any guilt i would have been forced to endure after doing what i had in mind .
I was really able to force her to tell, in the lost long vision i had, i didn't just gain the Shackles Of Time spell, no i gained a bunch of other gains as well, the Psychic Spellcasting was one of those gains, there were still other gains that i was still unable to process, due to the short time i had on my hand after coming back from that long journey of recalling the past, too much gains in fact, that i began to believe that it was safe to presume from now on that the longer the duration of the vision, the merier the gains .
My current state was an indication of that, i didn't regain only the spells that i used in the vision, but i was even able to acquire the spell that my old master used to enslave me, that specific spell was the one i was currently going to use, that's why the first thing i needed to deal with was my own guilt, that was why i kept asking even though i already know of her answer, now i don't have much scruples in carrying on with that method .
But just in case she wanted to consider it for one last final time, i asked her what she was asked to do, but she still kept silent about it for a few seconds, then it seemed that her provoking nature took control of her for a few seconds, because she suddenly said :
Do your worst .
I did as instructed i began inscribing glyphs but this time not on the air but on her body while she was bound like this with my eyes, it took about 20 minutes to finish, if i had written them on her by hand, i would have probably taken half of that time, i was beginning to hear my mother voice calling for me echoing through the halls, so i conclude that i better wrap this all up in a hurry and once again go and join her
After i finished writing all the glyphs needed, all i needed was to add my will to it for it to activate, the concept of will was vague to others, but not to me, i added my will to the enslavement seal center on top of her head and nothing flashy happened, other than streaks of red lightening coursed through her whole body for an instant and then the magic circle that appeard on her after the glyphs were written began to get sucked into her body, his eyes that had brilliance to them a second before, dimmed for a second or two, then regained their brilliance once again .
She is lucky that i'm the one who decided to keep her will and mind, both are restricted by the conditions my will set for this enslavement seal, these conditions were to always respond to my orders if they were in conflict with her own thoughts and mind .
If she was like me in the vision, she would have nothing but hollowed shell of herself, but that wouldn't be of any help to me, after this was finished i noticed that she seemed to have a lot of words she wanted to say, i gave her the opportunity to do so .
What, what did you do to me ? .
Those were the first words she spouted, i removed the Shackles on her and the moment i did, she came at me with something like a needle in her hands, just as she was about to stab me in the eyes, i said :
" Stop .
And she did stop, she freezed midair and then crashed into the floor, her Prana was surrounding her so she didn't get heart, her Prana color was actually Pink, i couldn't help but laugh to myself a little at seeing the weird contradiction, i guess the seal was working, but even if i hadn't used the seal i could tell that she wasn't able to do much damage .
She too was a speed type like Momochi-senpai, i could introduce to her later, they might be able to greatly enhance each other .
What in the world did you do to me .
Seeing me spacing out, she yelled loudly and her face completely looked terrified, even though i felt a tiny bit of pity towards here, i went on and asked her to tell me what was she tasked with, completely disregarding of her question, then the little bit of pity i had in my heart for her also soon vanished after i heard her answer, she actually said that she was here to keep an eye on my mother and be close to her and wait for other orders .
When i asked about her identity, her eyes became grave and she told me that she know nothing of it, she was trained from young age on how to kill people, she was brought in together with other into a bigger organization, once they were discovered to be a Saviors .
She was contacted by the phone for this mission and he didn't even had much time to ready herself, she waited for the principal to leave and then broke into the house stealthily, after that she used the excuse of her being the maid and fabricated a whole new identity for herself but it seemed that due to her haste, she wasn't able to cope with the sudden changes in the plan and was forced to go through all of this .
The organization she talked about was a criminal organisation that worked in the dark and even though the mastermind behind it was unknown to her, the moment i asked whether my allegedly father have any direct connection to that criminal organisation, she actually nodded her head and said that he was one of executives to the organization .
I looked at her after hearing all that i needed to hear and wondered what to exactly do with the girl in front of me, i first asked her one last question, i asked what would happen to her if she returned back, she said that she will be killed on the spot as to be made an example of how severe the incompetence can be the reason leading you to die .
I finally understood why she was acting so nonchalant before after i caught her, so that was her reasons, she was dead no matter what her choice was, that criminal organization had raised those guys to be killing machines, so the moment they are unable to do so, they are to be disposed of .
I was really beginning to think that i should just order her to go back, but in the end i felt it would be a loss, so insted i tasked her with a new task and that is to keep serving in the house and she is to be responsible for my mother safety from now on, i would give her a fixed salary for the work she will be doing, she also need to tell me directly if someone was to contact her from that criminal organization .
After i told her this, she looked at me weirdly then said :
Are you really letting me be like this, surely both of you and me understood clearly what i was keeping that close distance to your mother for, so why aren't you angry or bothered by it at all .
I nodded at her words, she was mostly correct, i know that she was here to assassinate my mother or take her as a hostage to pressure me if there was a need to, but she was also wrong about somethings in her words, i said :
" Believe me, i'm angry, i'm enraged even, but i don't believe that blaming you for it will do much to help, i already know of the identity of the people who ordered you to do this, they will be the one to pay the price, as for you, let's just say that your past intrigued me and i felt a pity of killing you when you are this cute .
Huh, what the hell was wrong with that last part, how i can say a thing like that with a straight face, i looked at her and wasn't able to see much of her face because she was currently bowing down, but what i was able to tell was the fact that her ears were entirely red, so i guessed she was embarrassed of hearing what i just said, even that cold assassin girl would get embarrassed by hearing words like, today's surprises don't seem to end .
Thank you, i will try not to disappoint you, sir .
She said still bowing down, i said in response :
" Well, even if you wanted to disappoint you won't be able to do so, you asked before about what i did to you, well the answer is simple, i put a slave mark on you, do you still think that i'm worthy of your gratitude .
She still didn't get back up, even though i said the last part intentionally for her to let go of thanking me, i didn't do anything worthy for her to thank me, if she resented me even, i can completely understand that .
But even after telling her that there was no need for her to thank me for this, the relationship between the two of us wasn't one where thanks were induced .
She in contrast to my expectations and thought continued to bow down and still hadn't risen up, after a few seconds of her still bowing in silent in front of me like this, i was about to forcefully order her to stand up, even though i believed that i had already reconciled with my conscious, i felt a bit of sting in my heart at what i did, no matter how hard i tried to rephrase it or giving myself an excuse for it, the ugly truth of me enslaving another human being still stands, what msde things even worse was that i got the spell but didn't get to know how to lift it .
For now i tried to make it up for the person involved as much as i could, but i found that she still bowing in front of me, i wonder if there was a misshap with the spell, but soon i heard her resolute voice sounded in my ears, saying :
I'm still thankful for you sparing my life nonetheless, master .
" Aren't you feeling a bit uncomfortable about how things turn out .
She finally raised herself back up and looked at me or more like she rolled her eyes at me and had a sad smile on her face, her blush was still there as well, that was the first time that i had seen her show so much emotions, i thought she was akin to cold beauty or something like that, she looked at me and said :
I would be lying if i say that i'm okay with it, but i also feel a bit relieved that this happened, i had done quite terrible things in the past, i see this as me finding a way out of the life i had before, a way to make things right, honestly i feel that i deserved this .
But if i may make a simple request from you Master .
I was surprised after hearing her thoughts, but even though she said that, my heart was heavy with guilt still .
But i had no intention of interrupting her, i nodded at her and motioned for her to go ahead and ask .
Please don't ask me to do anything shameful .
She said this and blushed and lowered her gaze to the floor, i was really thinking that i had misheard what she just said, but her expression was telling me that this wasn't the case, i really heard what i think i just heard, the visuals together with the simulation of the maid outfit was too simulating for both my heart and mind .
I didn't what to say, i was embarrassed myself, not to mention the person who said those words .
After a whole minute has passed, the one thought i had in mind was that something incredibly went wrong with the spell, the cold bloodied assassin that was uncooperative just now even if it meant her dying, was now acting like a little school girl in front of me, wait how old was she even .
Anyway, if that what she wanted then sure, she can get all that she wanted, i nodded to her and saw that she was still lowering her head, meaning that she 100 percent hadn't noticed me nodding, so i was forced to cough dryly trying to remove the embarrassment i was feeling and said :
" Okay .
She finally raised her head and smiled brilliantly and innocently at me, i was right she really looked as innocent as child when she smiled, then bowed down repeatedly and kept on thanking me, as i saw her like this, i couldn't help but ask :
" How old are you, Suguha-san ? .
Master, you can call me sugu and drop the san please, i'm only 15 years old .
" HUH, HAAAAAAH ? .
