His Message

Erica and Angelina are talking inside the guild office.

"Lack of monsters, a strong person with a potential companion. Erica, are you thinking what I am thinking?"

"Yes, it appears that an unknown organization captured the monsters and used them to summon monsters for a monster wave."

"I see...we are heading to that scenario. This could explain why the majority of job postings are for defending against monster waves in many villages close to our city."

"So, how about him? Have you heard him before?"

"Aleister, right? If I am not mistaken, he must be the Aleister from the Lunar Country. He and his brother, Alastor, are two of their country's most valuable assets. If I am not mistaken, they were the previous heroes who defeated the demon lord 500 years ago.

"Hold on a minute! How long ago? 500 years? How did you even know that?"

Most of the records from that year are no longer available in the present, which is why she is confused.

"You were already aware that the Guild had existed for over a millennium. Although this is an open secret at the headquarters, not everyone discusses it. The Archive has preserved records of historical events."

"Archive?"

"Unfortunately, I could not say any more. You are an investigator, the seeker of truth; investigate it on your own."

Erica sighs, but she does not pursue the matter.

She was about to leave when Angelina called her.

"Erica."

"I have something to tell you..."

"What is it?"

She opens her mouth, but nothing comes out.

She seemed unsure of what she wanted to say to her.

"Now that I think of it, I will tell you later."

"Okay."

Though Erica wanted to know what she wanted to say, she did not push because she knew she would eventually tell her.

She shut the door behind her and left the room.

…

A few days later.

As if nothing happened, Hambell's shop remains as peaceful as ever.

Yes, that is the shop's name.

You are delusional if you are thinking of another name.

"We are out of food."

Rica announces.

Erica is laying on the sofa in a light dress, and Alex has just entered the living room.

"So, what do you expect me to do?"

Erica is half asleep, but her hands are indicating that she should not be disturbed.

Alex is speechless about her.

"Would you like to go out with me?"

He realized Rica had only left the house to get groceries, so he invited her out.

"Do you mean... a date?"

Her face flushes, and she quickly looks away and holds her cheeks to calm down.

After calming herself down, she asked, "Are you serious?"

Seeing her cute expression is detrimental to his heart.

He could not handle her cuteness, which made his heart race.

He was truly fortunate to meet her.

"I am serious."

"Eat on the outside for today," he said, glancing at his aunt who was sound asleep.

"Okay."

She heard him, but she was half asleep, so she would forget about it later and blame it on him.

For the time being, he needs to show Rica that he cares about her and does not regard her as a slave simply because of her system status.

…

They are walking to the commercial street and deciding where to eat.

Commercial Street is the heart of the shopping district.

This is where the majority of well-known shops from various countries have their branches.

Although the three May City major companies, Valencia, Fatima, and Hollins, dominated the shopping district, they were unable to prevent the spread of world-class businesses in their turf.

They are world-class, and it is far preferable to be friends with them than to become their adversaries.

After a few minutes of walking around, they settled on a restaurant.

Sitting in the corner, a waiter approaches and takes their order.

After that, the waiter leaves.

Staring at her dress, his mind could not help but process what he would already noticed but was still thinking about.

"After some thought... Despite the fact that the city appears to be from the Middle Ages, some houses are very similar to modern houses, and the clothes are identical to those worn in the modern era.'

Alex makes a comparison between his new and old worlds.

"Are you alright? Can you hear me?

"O… Oh!! Oh, yes, I hear you. About our merchandise stocks, right?"

She appears to have spoken earlier, but he did not hear her clearly.

"Yes, would you like me to refill them?"

"No, I have decided to continue my studies, so once everything is sold, we will leave the city together before the summer ends."

She was initially saddened to hear that he would continue his studies.

After all, as his slave, she will wait for him regardless of how many years have passed.

However, hearing that she will accompany him makes her very happy.

"Together? "You mean... I am also going to come?"

"Obviously."

The waiter returns and serves their orders.

Meanwhile, Rica was unable to take her gaze away from him.

'This man, my master... I really love him.'

She feels blessed and fortunate to have met him.

No matter what happens, she will always be by his side, even if he has another woman.

After all, she is a slave, and he is the master.

She is his possession.

Her parents taught her as a child that slavery is wrong…

However, she is now grateful to be his slave.

As a result, she can be with him despite the fact that he may have another woman by his side.

In other words, he would never abandon her.

Many people may argue against her idea, telling her how blind she is, but she is very devoted to the core, so no matter what they say, they cannot shake her heart.

In fact, they may be the ones who are swept away by her logic and question their lives until they become the same as her.

As she began to eat, her food became noticeably more delicious.

Alex is content, as evidenced by her big smile.

'It appears that she received my message that she is not a slave, but rather my woman.'

Technically, she did receive the message.
