Chapter 28: Master-Servant

Seeing Raynare glare at me I felt no hints of trepidation. I wasnt like I was before. With my current stats and skills, I could wipe the floor with Raynare and make it squeaky clean.

"Yo! Welcome back to your house Akia-kun. How do you like it?" Azazel gave me a confident and smug grin when he saw me looking at Raynare and the others. I sat down on the couch opposite of him nonchalantly.

"It's really great. Pretty spacious, Im really impressed at how you managed to do all this in just a few days. Thanks." I noted as I turned my head and looked all over the place.

"Well, you can't really be a magician without a proper workshop, right? The basement is fairly large so you can use that to perform your unique magic stuff-" Before Azazel could finish he was interrupted by a rabid female dog barking.

"How dare you be so disrespectful in front of Azazel-Sama human!" The rabid bitch yelled like I cared a about her opinion before Azazel raised his and silenced her. I simply raised an eyebrow. Was she trying to curry favor with Azazel by doing this? Did I hit her too hard when I knocked her out?

"Are you sure they are fit to be maids? From what I know maids aren't that rude are they?" Hearing my words Ratnare's eyes widened to the size of saucers before she repeatedly glanced between me and Azazel.

"Wait a minute! Azazel-sama you can't possibly be thinking of making us serve that filthy human!?" Hearing her words my eyes kept twitching.

"I think you are forgetting about the fact that I am the one who beat you and not the other way around." Did Azazel just not tell them anything before coming here? Is that old man just that bored?

"Shut it human! You were just lucky that you got the jump on me! How dare a human like you talk to me like that way!?" I knew Raynare wasn't bright but goddam.

If you put her in a room it would get dimmer.

Off to the side, I saw Kalawarner getting incredibly uncomfortable while Mittelt looked like she was about to strangle Raynare to shut her up.

"Seriously Azazel, do I have to pay for these? Because if I do you can just take them back." I deadpanned to him while Azazel looked just about ready to laugh his ass off.

"You-" I'm sure Ratnare was about to spout some 3rd rate Xianxia young master minor villain-level bullshit from her mouth but I didn't let her.

"Shush, be quiet Raynare, the adults are talking right now." And at this moment Raynare seemed like she completely snapped and looked like she didn't even remember that Azazel himself was in the room.

"How dare you human! Just because you caught me off guard you dare-" She kept spouting off as I tuned it out, Azazel the smug fuck looked far too amused for my liking.

Raynare kept spouting insults out of her shitty mouth like a faucet while Azazel looked like he wouldn't stop her anytime soon. But even I have limits to my patience.

The audacity of this bitch .

She tried to kill me, then when I defeated her and even spared her she insulted me. Then when she is supposed to be my maid acts like I am lesser than her and insults me in my own home.

" { { Shut up } } " An icy cold voice unnaturally rang out from my mouth and echoed with power and the moment Raynare heard it it was like her mouth was forcefully shut up.

"Blah blah blah I am tired of hearing that bitchy trash voice of yours. If I wanted to hear your worthless opinion I would have asked." I got up from my couch and went up to Raynare while looked like she was about to burst a vein and tried to quickly attack me but before she could.

" { { Kneel } } " My voice rang out again as Raynare powerlessly fell to her knees. As she was on her knees I roughly grabbed her by her hair and made face me as I removed my shades.

"Listen here Raynare, I graciously let you live and now you come to my house as my maid and insult me? Are you that damm dimwitted or did I beat your ass so hard your brain turned to mush that is somehow even more useless than before?"

"Either you are going to be quiet from now on or I will bend you over my knee and spank your ass bright red until you cry like the little bitch you are. Alright?" My eyes bore into hers until she nodded fearfully like the little insecure weak little bitch she was.

Raynare looked terrified now, as if she just now realized who she offended. Good, I was getting tired of dealing with her incessant bitching. Besides she should count her lucky stars or buy a lottery ticket since I could've done way worse with my cursed speech.

If I wasnt so magnanimous I would've uttered the words shit yourself and Raynare would be done for. Imagine uncountably shitting yourself after someone told you to do so in front of the man you idolize.

I must do that sometime.

"Good Girl."

[+20 Obedience with Raynare]

I let go of Raynare and went back to sitting in front of Azazel who looked very amused and a bit proud. I might look fine right now but my throat is bleeding.

I might be stronger than Raynare but not by much. Two commands at level one are enough to suffer from drawbacks.

"Anyway, now that my mood is spoiled can we get on with it?" My voice was hoarse and I could barely keep it from bleeding using Cursed Energy.

"Right, these three will be your maids from now on. Obviously, you don't have to pay them. You just have to make sure they are alive and that they have a room to live in."

"Speaking of, hopefully, you have considered them trying to stab me in my sleep right?" I asked and Azazel as he looked away, this old bastard was having too much fun with this. I dont even know if he truly forgot or he just wants to see what I do about it.

"Well, regardless I have my own method for it."

"Hooh? And what might that be?" Good, I have his attention and curiosity. And so I explained to him my Master-Servant contract, Raynare looked like she wanted to intervene but a simple glare made her hold off.

[+5 Affection with Azazel]

"Wow, I like that idea. Any chance you can make this contract between two other people? Asking for a friend."

"Nope, it only works between me and another person." After all, binding vows needed cursed energy to be made.

"Alright then, go on with it, I promise these three won't struggle." I walked over to the three fallen and crouched down.

"Lift up your skirts." Raynare lifted up her own skirt with her hands shaking. Mittlet did it meekly while Kalawarner did not seem to care as much.

I knelt down in front of Raynare, she wore a very sheer black thong, likely she thought she would be serving a cadre instead of me. After a bit of admiration, I pulled out my already prepared brush and drew the mark just above her panties on her waist just above her genitals.

After inscribing the tattoo I placed my hands over it and established the contract. Raynare moaned a bit from the infusion of energy but quickly bit her tongue to stop herself.

Oh boy, she is going to be having fun when she realizes the penalty for disobedience.

"I feel... stronger?" Raynare looked incredibly confused but I didn't care as I looked over the effects and was pleasantly surprised. There was a not-so-insignificant boost from the servant contract but considering the nature of binding vows it made sense.

There was a downside and so there was an advantage. They sacrificed their freedom so in its stead they get a large boost to all of their stats. After all this contract was basically an advanced binding vow. I moved over to Mittelt.

She was wearing cute pink striped panties which I approved. Quickly I drew the mark over her and activated it, how cute, she was trying to suppress her moans. She is my favorite.

Mittelt also had that confused expression after suddenly getting stronger before I moved onto Kalawarner I knelt under her, her underwear was a red mini thong. She was the easiest one as she was the only one not actively resisting or shaking. Though her legs trembled a bit when I was activating the mark and I saw her underwear get a little wet.

"I really got stronger?" She said in disbelief. After that Azazel turned to me.

"You can make people stronger? How intriguing. But I do have some business I unfortunately have to attend to but I think we will see each other later. See you later, Akira-kun." Seeing this business had concluded Azazel took his leave.

I turned to the Fallen who were staring at me waiting for what I had to say.

"Alright, here is the deal, dont go in my room and do not enter my workshop without permission. Your jobs are to keep this house clean and mainly do whatever I tell you to. As long as you do that and dont annoy or cause problems for me you're fine."

Hmm, that is the most basic instructions I could've given but those surely won't suffice for these two, they will surely cause problems for me by constantly hounding me, besides I dont really care for them, they are just a convenient workforce.

An idea came to my mind and I called Mittelt over, she would work best. After all, she was the most traumatized one here and the one with the most obedience. I put my hand on her head and gestured to her like she was a product.

"Alright, Mittelt here is your superior, if you wanna ask anyone anything just ask her first. And Mittelt I hope you won't disappoint me or else you will see where the other people who disappointed me ended up alright?"

"Y-y-yes Sir!" Poor thing she looks terrified, well that is what she deserves anyway. Without bothering to hear any objections about my decisions I turned back.

"Alright, I will be in the basement if you need me. And if you do actually need me try not to." I quickly descended down to my basement to check it out while I left the fallen to their own devices.

I would have to make another barrier around my house and finally tackle those rituals.

I have a long day ahead of me, don't I?
