I thought so.
After all, the weak are oppressed and
devoured by the strong.
And with that thinking, those without
strength, once misfortune has grabbed them by the ankles, have no choice but to
fall.
On the way back from Kirihito's room.
That was the day I made up my mind to tell the police everything.
But I was suddenly strangled from
behind and knocked unconscious.
When I woke up, I was thrown into a
dimly lit container.
The floor of the container was filthy
with red rust. On the ceiling, there was a hanging cantera casting a pale
light.
There, besides me, were five other
women.
They are sniffling and sobbing.
With the smell of the tide and a
slight tremor which I could only feel when I was lying on the floor, made me
think that I was on a ship docked in the harbor.
I could immediately imagine what had
happened to me.
After all, as soon as I told him I
was going to the police. Kirihito must have reported it to the President, and
the President must have arranged it.
And I also had been threatened
by the President several times, "I'm going to sell you to Southeast
Asia!" . With that though, I immediately realized that this was the case.
What a terrible life, I thought.
But at the same time, I gave up.
I had tried to die once anyway. All I
had to do was take my life. That would be the end of my misery.
I thought about biting my tongue, but
I've heard that's just painful and hard to die from.
So, I would wait for them to let me
out of here and then I would jump into the sea, that's what I thought.
About two hours after I woke up,
another girl was thrown inside.
A young girl in uniform. And she is
beautiful girl.
I didn't know her name, but I
knew right away that I had seen her in the magazine "CUTIE☆CUTIE".
I suppose she is my junior, but I
didn't want to talk to her because I was going to die soon anyway.
But something unexpected happened.
A few hours after the girl from
"CUTIE☆CUTIE" came in, a boy suddenly slipped through the wall of the
container and appeared.
I know it sounds strange, but I was
astonished. That's all I can say.
He was not, by any means, a
good-looking boy.
He was the kind of guy who stands in
the front row of a swimsuit event, holding a camera. No, not that kind. Rather,
the kind of boy who doesn't have the courage to do so and glances at their
breasts and crotch with a fake look of disinterest.
His body shape is unbalanced, his
eyes are bad. His hair is shaggy. If Kirihito were a hundred, he would be about
thirty in terms of handsomeness.
If he loses some weight, works out at
the gym, and gets his eyebrows and hair done, he could somehow become a
slightly creepy-looking guy... if he works hard enough, he could somehow become
that ....
That was my impression of him.
However, despite his appearance, he
was a prince on a white horse.
Not for me, of course.
I am just another person who is
rescued by others.
「If you want to escape, follow
me!」
The girl from
"CUTIE☆CUTIE" shouted and jumped into the door that appeared on the
wall of the container.
I exchanged a look with the girl next
to me, who looked like a cabaret girl, then followed her and ran into the door.
Beyond the door was a stone room
about the size of a six-mat room.

「I'll open the door in front of
the station or somewhere in the morning, so you'll have to stay here for now」
As the boy said this, the room began
to change and six beds appeared. To be honest, I didn't know what was going on.
I just felt scared.
When the boy left with the girl
from "CUTIE☆CUTIE", we each lay down on a bed and talked.
The topic was, of course, that boy.
Like this room, our conversation was
too confusing.
In the first place, we are strangers
crammed into the same container, we don't even know each other's name.
We didn't have much time to talk, and
in the end, I was envious that her boyfriend could come to her rescue like
this.
However, the conversation converged
on the fact that the boy's appearance was not good enough for a potential
partner.
When all the other girls had fallen
asleep, I sat in my room with the lights out, staring into the darkness,
thinking idly.
What am I going to do after I get out
of here?
I've already lost everything.
My parents had disowned me when they
found out about my AV films, and my dream of becoming a top model was now in
vain. Kirihito was supposed to be all I had left, but now that he has betrayed
me, there is no reason for me to live.
In the room with the lights out, I
let out an involuntary sigh, and at that moment, I heard a voice in my ear.
「If you want revenge, I can help
you, Devi. In return, you will give me everything you have, Devi」
I opened my eyes to see a red-haired
girl floating in the darkness. The double teeth peeking out from the edge of
her mouth like fangs were quite striking.
It was true that there was no God or
Buddha in this world.
But there was the devil.
And now, all revenge was over.
If you ask me how I feel, I can't
honestly answer.
Emptiness is probably the closest.
Ever since I met the devil Lili, what has sustained me has been revenge.
Now that that was accomplished, there
was nothing left for me to do.
All that was left for me to do was to
repay him, to allow him to touch me once, and to take my life.
In my luxurious bedroom, I'm waiting
for his visit.
Fumio Kijima--he's called
"Confinement King" here.
He is Misuzu Kurosawa-san's white horse
prince.
Not mine.
However, this place was strange.
Many girls came and went, all eager
to have an affair with Fumio Kijima. Even the maids who worked in the dining
room, when they saw him, their eyes would go wild.
Even Kyoko-san, who seemed to dislike
Kijima, though she was disgusted by him, would smile slightly when the topic of
her affair with him came up.
This was his kingdom.
What he was doing was criminal,
devilish, and inhumane, but he himself looked like a good man, and the girls I
talked to all adored him.
...Well, what does it matter?
The only reason I'm still alive right
now is because of a contract that requires me to give up everything in exchange
for revenge.
But I'm not going to fulfill that
contract.
As a thank you, I will let him hold
me once and after that, I will say goodbye to the world.
I waited for a moment and then the
door opened.

「Hello there」
He walked into the room.
"You don't look
happy", he asks, and I smile back, "That's not true"
Now that revenge has been taken, I'm
in a good mood. Or so I thought.
He sits down on the couch across
from me, gives me a little thought, and says int the air, "Lili, are you
there?".
Then the devil girl appeared in the
air.
「Yes, Devi?」
「Give me a pen and paper. And I
need you to be my witness」
Instantly, the devil girl looked at
him suspiciously and pulled out a wad of paper and a grease marker from the
air.
「What are you doing, Devi?」
「Well, just wait and see. Don't
interrupt me」
With that, he darts his pen across
the paper.
When he finished writing, he held it
out to me and spoke.
「Well, Kaneko-san, can you sign
here for now?」
On it, in a very peculiar handwriting
on the right, was written the following.
――――――――――――――――――
Slave Contract
Kaneko Chihiro shall be the First
Party and Fumio Kijima shall be the Second Party.
The First Party shall be the property
of the Second Party.
The First Party shall devote her
entire life to the Second Party.
The First Party will not disobey any
of the orders of the Second Party.
The First Party will carry out the
orders of the Second Party to the best of its ability.
――――――――――――――――――
「What the hell... Devi... that
has no binding power, Devi」
He chuckled as the devil girl gave
him a dumbfounded look.
「Well, you're right, it's just a
piece of paper. I know there's no compulsion to do anything with it」
I picked up the paper and chuckled.
This is really childish.
It's like watching a small child
playing shopping with his own money.
「Just sign my name, right?」
I wrote my name on a piece of paper
and held it out to him, and he smiled and opened his mouth.
「You're mine now, Kaneko-san.
I'll call you Chihiro from now on. Is that okay?」
「Yes, but you're doing something
very strange. I feel like you're going around in circles. I thought you were
going to force me into your arms and make me yours even if I didn't want to...」
「Well... yes. It's a bit of a
long story. But if I had to say, I'd say it's for me」
「For you?」
「Yeah, I just don't think I want
to hold a woman who looks unhappy, depressed, or exhausted」
I chuckle.
I see, I've lost enough charm that
made this ugly guy won't hold me. He thought I looked that terrible.
「Don't get me wrong, Chihiro is
beautiful and any man would want to hold her. Of course I do, I want to hold
you」
「Then why don't you do that? Just
like you made Akira Mizuki obey you」

「Well, I'm not opposed to pushing
a strong, snobbish girl to the point of despair. Kyoko is just like that. But,
Chihiro. I didn't give you a despair」
「And so?」
「You know. I like to take care of
what I own. That's why. I want you to be happy」
「Happy? Huh...」
I couldn't help but snicker.
I might offend him.
I thought about it, but I didn't care
if he killed me.
I was going to die anyway. It would
save me the trouble.
But he didn't get angry, he just
stared me in the eyes and spoke.
「That's why I don't want you to
die」
I widened my eyes.
He sees right through me. That's what
I thought.
「Haha, I guess that reaction was
right on the money. But no. Chihiro is mine now and I can't let you die without
permission. My duty to Chihiro is to make you happy. I want all my girls to
smile」
「That's... impossible」
「Well, you would think so. When I
was bullied, I thought how unhappy I was too. I guess it's nothing compared to
Chihiro's misery」
He stands up and leans over the
table, reaching for my head.
「Chihiro. It's only recently that
I've come to understand that misfortune will fall on its own if I let it. But
you know what? Happiness is something I have to grab on my own, I think. That's
why. I want you to be happy now that you're mine. I want you to be happy first.
I think it's my duty as your master to make sure that happens」
「Although, you're younger...
you're so cocky」
It was somewhat embarrassing to be
patted on the head, as one would do to a small child. But it didn't make me
feel bad.
「When the time comes for Chihiro
to smile with happiness, I will hold you. Until then, this piece of paper is
the only connection between me and Chihiro」
I chuckle involuntarily.
「Fine, I'm yours. I promise I
won't die on my own」
There was no God or Buddha in this
world.
But there were devils and kind bad
guys.
I looked up at him with narrowed
eyes, and the floating Lili-chan opened her mouth, looking like a mother seeing
her son grow up.
「Fumi Fumi... I've told you many
times, Devi, being cool doesn't make you good-looking, Devi」
「Shut up」
The exchange was funny.
「Pfft, ahahaha..」
I couldn't help but erupt.
As she watched me, Lili-chan shrugged
her shoulders and opened her mouth.
「Well, if Fumi Fumi says so, I'll
help you out, Devi. I'll give the AV girl a new job, Devi. Whether she'll be
happy or not depends on her, Devi...」
