3 Game 03: I am Now Yours, Master(Fixed)

[{I am The Guardian of the Labyrinth}]

Guren, by the appearance of this rather young lady, appeared shocked by the sudden turn and twist. But in his mind, he was thinking, "Uwahh, so cliche. Almost every LN, Manga, and manhua has scenes like this, but let's stick to the script for now."

"How can it be a girl?!"

On the stage, a bad actor enact his play...

But she truly is a sight to behold.

She resembled a young girl with long silver hair and an antenna-like thingy in the shape of wings at the back of her ears. Blue eyes and pale skin. A doll-like figure that is rarely seen in the wild. She was clothed in a blood-red dress, which accentuated the shape of her body. Despite the fact that she was childlike and small, she had a very nice figure carved in her existence. (FBI: "Tadaima, Madafaka!")

According to his logic, everything in Guren's current situation should conform to the rules and the VLF system. But how could something like this possibly happen? A deviation from the game he's played before?

"Wait... Let me catch up on everything. Did VLF update? When? How? In a short period of time? That is not possible..."

Guren was still talking to himself when a young lady with an unknown name and identity spoke...

[Disclosure: Please excuse me, Master...]

...in a monotonous manner, like a systematic mechanical being.

[Conclude: The VLF has not been updated. And it simply cannot be. There is no evidence that Fantasia can be changed as easily as Master claims. Updating VLF from the outside is possible, but Fantasia can never be manipulated by the Earth's system.]

"What do you mean by 'can never be manipulated'? Is there some kind of bug? Ah, now that you mention it, it was in the news earlier as well."

[Notice: Incorrect Master. There is no bug. In Fantasia, there can never be a bug. It is possible in VLF, but not in Fantasia.]

"Hmm? Oh, forget it. I need to rest first, after all, I used quite M.P (Mental/Magical power) battling you, and I'm still not very used to using magic."

Guren sighed and exhaled a comforting exhale as he sat down for a rest. The things the Guardian said bothered him, but he didn't ask for more for the time being. He was too tired to think of anything complicated, so he put it aside for a while.

"By the way... Why call me master?

[{Answer: You are now my master. I am now yours.}]

"Oh, okay—WHAT!?"

[{I am now yours, Master.}]

"No, no, no. I heard that! But what do you mean you're mine?!"

[{Answer: Exactly what it sounds, Master.}]

"Not that. Explain. Arg, this is making me tired even more..."

[{Elaborating: I am the Guardian of this labyrinth. And as a result of being defeated by Master, without implicating critical wound to the main body, I became your property.}]

Guren placed his palm on his brow, straining to keep up.

"Umo, I see. But, property... That sounds awful for a girl, don't you think?"

The Guardian tilted her head, as if thinking about this question. But it was difficult to tell with her unbending expressions. Not until she specifically asked.

[{Query: Master, do you see me as a girl?}]

"Are you not?"

[{Explanation: I am modeled in a appearance like this, however I am man-made doll. A homunculus.}]

Guren came to a halt and looked at her. Then he slowly stood up and approached her. The Guardian remained motionless, waiting to see what he would do to her. As a result, a pleasant sensation washed over her, and she was patted...

"Homunculus or not, as long as you talk like a girl (even if it's monotonous), act like a girl (not really), and appear like a girl, it doesn't matter to me; it's such a waste not to think of it; you're such a cute girl, not to mention."

{Cute... incomprehendable. Error! The system couldn't recognize the keyword.

She was saying those words, unaware that what she was feeling and hearing had already caused her to blush without her even realizing it. Without realizing it, she had a little sparkle on her face that could be described as a sweet light smile.

"See how you blushed? That means you're just like everyone else! Umo, a girl!"

[Rebuttal: this Guardian didn't blush! A golem couldn't blush! Master, you're a liar! }]

"Pfft. Ahahahaha! You can even pout, how cute!"

She pursed her lips even more. Her face was painted with an expression she had never seen before. Is this a sudden shift? Who can say?

[{Importance: I am now yours Master. Your opinion don't matter.}]

Sighed...

"Okay, okay. I get it. It appears that you've made up your mind, so what do I do?" "Okay, okay. I get it. It appears that you've made up your mind, so what do I do?"

[Demand: All right, Master, let us now engrave the code.]

"Code?"

[Indeed, master. It will be my identification.]

"Ah, naming. I see. Just like naming the summoned in black magic, huh?"

Guren catched his chin and made a deep though, well, not really, but let's just pretend that that was the case.

"Andrea! Andrea, that's your name."

[{Confirm: I am now bestowed the name of Andrea. The guardian of the labyrinth is no more.}]

"Umo! great!" He uttered, while wondering, "I was thinking that she would blush and smile like in many manga or LN's I've read." That's a little disappointing...'

Guren glanced at her while still in thought.

Hm..?

[...andrea...t-thank you very much, master...]

She said this in hushed tones as she mumbled.

"Did you say anything, Andrea?"

[{Nothing! You have a tendency to over-imagine things, Master! }]

She said it in her usual tone.

Isn't this girl adorable? Guren, on the other hand, thinks so too, after seeing her with such expression. 'Fufu, I thought I was mistaken! You're the best at virtual twist!'

[Acknowledge: Because you already gave me a code, Master, only the seal is required...]

"Oh, I see; this was also in the VLF; all I have to do now is draw a circle on your forehead, right?"

Guren eagerly moved towards Andrea, but he was stopped in his tracks by the meddle concern. What's the reason? It was Andrea who said it...

[{Correction: Wrong Master. That seal is for summon not for ownership.}]

"Huh? I was wrong again. I've been playing VLF for a long time, but this is the first time I've heard of it. So... What is for ownership?"

[Answer: Fistbumps for males. It is for the first Ki connection. After all, they are built on strength. In terms of females...]

"For females?"

Guren looked at her with interest, and from the looks of it, Andrea was quite sharp on this subject. She puffed her not-really-chest-like chest and said, with a proud unmoving look,

[A collision of lips...] Fwing.

She said it with a twinkle in her eyes. As if someone was bragging about their knowledge of something. Though, she don't even know what it means for lips to collide. She appeared smug with an expressionless face.

"A collision of lips..."

Silence...

"I see, so kiss... Hmm? Fueeee KISS!?"

Kiss, yes. that's collision of lips alright...

"No, no, no. Isn't that system messed up? Who the hell put this rule in place!?"

[Answer: It was the professor.]

"How nice of them, but you don't have to answer that!"

Guren let out a sigh. Once again, this is a departure from the VLF system. Guren, on the other hand, has no way of verifying it.

[{Master!}]

"H-huh...w-what?!"

He responded with a slightly trembling voice, taking one step backward. Andrea, on the other hand, moved forward toward him as he did.

"Wait a minute, Andrea! A kiss is something you give to someone you like! Do you understand?"

What a pathetic excuse for a virgin. Even the author falls into this category. Andrea, on the other hand, is far more daring than he imagined. Andrea had already entered his safe zone while he was making excuses like a coward.

[{No excuses, Master! Don't be a wuss.}]

"A wus-?! Hey listen girl... Who do you think you're calling a wu—mmmguuuu!?"

Andrea grabbed his head and leaned in for a deep kiss while he was still making excuses.

"Mmmgggg!" "Mmguu!" "Mnnnn!"

And even tried out for a tongue. After that, she let him go... and he said it with tears in his eyes as she did.

"...are all girls like this?!... this is even worse than how Shizuru did that time..."

Not that he didn't like it. And on the side, Andrea, with a big blush and a cherry expression unheard of in a homunculus, went and said...

[Contract Signed: I am now yours, Master!]

Excitedly! Her way of saying things was out of the ordinary... Is this what it appeared to be? Or another? Anyway, the only thing that is obvious is how adorable she is.

And just like that, Guren had a companion. Not what will become of him?

...To be continued...

Note: Guren named her "Andrea" because he thought she was like an Android. Plus, when he saw her reaction, he thought that he was happy to choose it for her.
