Chapter 141 At That Time, the Slaves… ③ – Leticia
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
…Slave Training Facility, Leticia de Richard…
As the s*x technique training ended and everyone filed out, I stayed behind, staring at the dungeon footage projected on the wall.
”I wonder if Karen and the others aren’t here today.”
I’d been watching since the afternoon, but neither Yakumo, the guard, nor Sayaka or Karen had appeared.
Maybe they’re taking a break today.
”Ugh… so boring.”
Everyone’s gone… I’m lonely.
Sayaka, Karen, Sanae, and the swim club girls were so kind to me when I first arrived, crying all the time.
But then Sayaka left, and Karen and Sanae disappeared too.
When everyone’s gone, life here is really dull.
Here, I’m just a 13-year-old girl.
I love being praised.
I studied hard to skip grades because I wanted Mom to praise me.
When someone said I was good at drawing, I posted my favorite anime character on social media. I got tons of followers and likes, so I drew even more.
I love Japanese anime, so I studied Japanese and art hard and won a spot as an exchange student.
Everyone praised me for being amazing. It felt great.
Here, I’ve worked hard on running and s*x technique training, but no one praises me.
”So boring.”
Sayaka, Karen, and Sanae all promised to ask to be bought for me when they were taken by the instructors.
And they were all bought by the same guy.
We heard we were expensive, so what kind of person is Yakumo, who bought three of us?
I know Karen was head over heels for him. She’d run into him every morning with bread in her mouth. Karen’s a bit too obsessed with Japanese anime, I think. But at least she’s not jumping off the roof to bump into him. She’d die if she failed.
Yakumo looks really scary, but when fighting in the dungeon, he always positions himself to protect Karen, Sanae, and the others. That bunny-eared beauty too. Maybe he’s actually pretty kind.
”I’m jealous.”
I want to fight monsters in the dungeon too. I want to use magic.
Karen uses a magic gun and creates walls of fire. Even that weirdo Sanae can shoot stones with magic.
It’s so enviable.
If Yakumo buys me, will he let me use magic? Then I want Yakumo to buy me.
I love fantasy anime.
I love it so much that I convinced Mom to enroll me in a Japanese animation school.
Someday, I want to make an anime with the characters I’ve drawn.
Of course, not just me. Mom came to Japan with me. Dad died when I was young, but Mom’s family is wealthy, so it was possible.
We bought an apartment nearby, and I’ve been living with Mom while attending school. I never thought it would come to this.
It was terrifying. Seeing teachers and cafeteria ladies beheaded one after another by succubi in military uniforms was horrifying.
But Karen kept hugging me through it all.
Sayaka, who was in the same room, was kind, and Sanae was really sweet until she awakened as a weirdo.
Sayaka’s junior swim club girls were kind too, and the counselor in another room listened to our concerns.
Thanks to them, I managed to stay positive.
And what gave me hope was the magic used by the guards. When I learned even Sayaka could use magic, I was excited that it wasn’t just for testers.
I want to use magic too!
Since then, I’ve been watching footage of Yakumo and Sayaka every day.
He’s not just fighting monsters; he’s doing a lot of lewd things too.
Karen and Sanae too. Everyone’s being taken by Yakumo outside.
But they all look so happy and pleased. Sanae’s face is a bit gross, though.
Is s*x really that good?
I’ve never been forced into heat, so I don’t know.
During cowgirl training, it feels good when the bean hits the bump, but I’ve never climaxed.
Some girls do it alone, but the toilets are like rural outhouses—dirty and smelly. I don’t have the courage to do it in the dorm either.
Well, even in those dirty toilets, the volleyball coach and some others seem to be holed up there every day.
I’m curious about s*x, but right now, I just want something sweet.
It’s been over a month since I’ve had candy.
”Ugh, I’m hungry… I wonder when dinner will be ready.”
As I muttered that, the door burst open, and a girl with chestnut hair poked her head in.
”Ah, there you are! Leti-chan, it’s dinner time! You weren’t coming, so I came to get you!”
Minami’s always so energetic. She’s a first-year like me, in the neighboring class. Short chestnut hair, taller than me, with a cute, busty, and curvy figure.
She always ends her sentences with “yo,” a habit she picked up from her middle school club activities, she says.
She’s probably actually introverted and created this character to fit in with the sports club.
Because when she talks about Yakumo, her face turns bright red, and she fidgets, unable to speak. That’s the real Minami, I think. I’m smart, so I can tell.
I wave back shyly and stand with Minami in front of the white and beastman Soul-less Dolls handing out trays. They place something like beef stew and bread on my tray, and I take a wooden cup of water before finding a seat.
The table I sit at is surrounded by girls from my room, mostly from the swim club.
As we start eating, Minami and the others tear off pieces of bread for me, saying I’m still growing.
It makes me happy. Japanese people are really kind.
I thank everyone and eat the usual bland, tasteless food. But with their warm feelings, it tastes a little better.
Suddenly, the cafeteria door opens, and a short-haired, military-style instructor enters.
She’s the most violent and scary instructor. I’ve seen her kick and punch many girls, Sanae especially.
Tension fills the cafeteria.
Everyone stops eating and starts to stand.
The instructor raises her hand and speaks.
”Stay seated. I just have an announcement. Starting today, testers can send gifts to you. This was originally a tester’s suggestion to boost morale for both testers and you. If you work hard in training and get high evaluations, you’ll catch the testers’ eyes. You might receive items you can’t get here. Understand? Receiving a gift means that man intends to buy you. Strive to catch their attention. That’s all.”
The instructor leaves after saying that. She’s probably going to the other cafeteria for Tier 4 and Tier 5 girls to say the same thing.
”Leti, did you hear that? Gifts from the guys! Gifts!”
”Yeah, I wonder what we’ll get?”
I want new underwear and pajamas. And the candy that Yakumo’s tamed goblin always licks. It doesn’t look very sweet, though.
”I don’t know! But if it’s from the guard, I’d be happy with anything!”
”Hehe, I hope you get something.”
Minami’s face turns bright red as she says she’d be happy with a gift from Yakumo, and I can’t help but smile.
I wonder if I’ll get anything? Maybe Karen will ask him to send me something. But what does Sanae think of me? I’m 13, and she might not want to be seen as a lolicon, so she might not buy me.
They wouldn’t send gifts if they don’t intend to buy, right?
I shouldn’t get my hopes up. But I do want something sweet.
After that, the cafeteria buzzes with girls talking about getting gifts from their boyfriends or begging others to share if they get something.
Back in the dorm, I lie on my crude bed when the door opens.
Several beastman Servitors carrying cardboard boxes enter, set them down, and leave.
The girls in the room exchange glances, and Minami is the first to jump off her bed and approach the boxes.
She picks one up and shouts loudly.
”Leti! Gifts! These are all from the guard to you, Leti!”
”Huh? Me?”
What… did he really send them?
Is Yakumo a lolicon?
As I stand there stunned, Minami and the swim club girls, their eyes sparkling, bring the boxes to me.
”It’s true…”
On top of the boxes are Yakumo and Sanae’s names, along with mine.
The handwriting is really messy, though.
Come to think of it, Karen said Sanae is good at English. Maybe she’s not from Japan.
I figured this must be the first of five boxes, judging by the “1/5” scrawled on the side. I pulled it open, finding about twenty sets of toothbrushes and toothpaste, some underwear, cozy-looking pajamas, and bath towels. It was also packed with essentials ¹: lotions, cosmetics, shampoo, and even body wash and conditioner.
There were even art supplies.
I’m so happy… I’m just so incredibly happy.
”Looks like you hit the jackpot, Leticia-chan,” Minami said.
”Ah… yeah,” I replied.
Before I knew it, I was crying.
Minami reached over and wiped away the tears streaming down my cheeks. I knew that, deep down, she must have wanted a gift from Yakumo herself… yet here she was, comforting me with such kindness in her eyes.
The other girls looked on with soft expressions too-well, except for a few whose eyes were screaming at me to hurry up and open the rest of the boxes. Pushed by their expectant gazes, I began opening the others one by one.
”Whoaaaa!” I shouted at the top of my lungs the moment I saw the contents. “No way! Look at all these snacks! And-is this soda?! Real carbonated juice!”
”Amazing! Wait, look! There are so many decks of cards! Even ‘The Game of Life’ ²!” one girl cried out.
”This means he wants us to play with Leticia-chan, right?” another asked.
”Though, sending a game called ‘Life’ to people like us whose lives are already in checkmate ³… I wonder if the guard has a bit of a dark sense of humor?” a third girl wondered aloud.
”The guy’s been a solo player from the start,” someone countered. “He was told to go fight monsters out of the blue and he just dived into the dungeon with a grin on his face. Maybe he’s telling us to just get over our baggage already.”
”Ahaha, you’re probably right. Man… I wish someone would send me a care package like this,” a girl sighed.
The boxes were overflowing with chocolates and snacks. One whole box was dedicated entirely to playing cards and board games. The art supplies were a personal touch, but I’m sure Sayaka and Karen must have put in a word for the games.
Everyone remembered me. They didn’t forget. God, I’m so happy.
”Come on, Leticia-chan, stop crying,” Minami said, patting my shoulder. “These are amazing gifts-let’s get them out and organized, okay?”
”Yeah… Oh, I’m going to give two of the three snack boxes to everyone. You can use the games whenever you want, too,” I said.
I’d keep the last box for myself and share some with the counselor and the classmates in the other rooms.
”””””KYAAAAAAA!”””””
The second I told them I was sharing, cheers erupted from every corner of the room. It felt good. Really good.
”Seriously?! Are you sure?! This has to be at least twenty-thousand yen worth of stuff!”
”A goddess! We have a goddess among us!”
”I’m never sleeping with my feet toward Leticia-chan’s room again!”
”Ah, Leticia-sama. There’s a speck of dust on your shoulder,” one girl said, bowing playfully.
”I want to be Leticia-sama’s loyal servant!” another shouted.
”Hey! Don’t try to hog all the leftovers, that’s cheating!”
”I am not displeased,” I said, leaning into the role. “If I receive more, I shall share the bounty with you all again.”
They’re all such good people. That’s why I want us all to eat together. Besides, being worshipped like this… it feels absolutely wonderful.
”I mean, I was hoping for this, but damn,” one of the older girls said. “Aren’t you all ashamed of yourselves? Shaking down a kid for her candy?”
”Shut it! You’re reaching for the chocolate koalas while you’re talking! You’re just waiting for a gap in our guard!” someone yelled back. “I’m claiming the fancy cookies!”
”Hey! Those are the expensive ones! Then I’m taking the spicy chips and the chocolate bars!”
”H-hurry, grab what you can!”
”Wait! Not the chocolate! At least leave me the chocolate!”
”Don’t pull on my clothes!”
”Let go! This one’s my favorite!”
”Everyone, play nice,” I commanded, standing up on my bed. “We divide the snacks equally. We can use the popular ones as prizes for the games.”
”””HAHAAAAAA!”””
As if they had just received a divine revelation, everyone dropped to their knees in a pose of worship. Minami was definitely the most into it.
Hehe. I really, really like this feeling. Yes, my subjects. Revere me. Worship me more.
After that, we divvied up the treats fairly. We sipped on our first sodas in ages and held a massive game tournament with the premium snacks as the grand prizes. I made sure to hand out the toothbrushes, too. It would be a nightmare if anyone got a cavity.
Seeing everyone smile makes me so happy. I haven’t had this much fun in forever.
Thank you, Yakumo.
He must have seen all of this coming. That’s why he sent so many snacks and so many games. He spent all that extra money just to make sure I wouldn’t be lonely here-money he earned by putting his life on the line.
I’m happy. So, so happy.
I think I finally understand why Karen and Minami fell for him.
I’ll be waiting. Hurry up and buy me, Yakumo.
I don’t care if you’re a lolicon.
