Buying an Unusual Item

That district was dirty and run-down.

Shortly after Akira enter the district, there was a man whipping a naked girl right on her back.

CRACK

"Akh!"

CRACK

"P-Please stop it, Master! I promise i won't try to escape again!" The girl begged.

On the streets of that district, a man was seen walking with a naked girl using a leash tied to an iron collar around the girl's neck, just like a man walking with his pet.

"Uriel, what's going on here? Why are the girls naked?" The brown haired asked Uriel via telepathy.

"They are slaves. In this world slaves are lower than human and is only considered as pets or labor animal. therefore most of them are not allowed to wear clothes by their masters" Uriel explained.

"That's horrible..." Akira saw a naked girl sleeping on the street without any cloth to cover her body.

While on the other side of the street there were four men taking turns to rape a naked girl.

"So the scenario is, you will buy a slave from this district. She will become your first party member and the first heroine" Uriel explained.

"Alright" The brown haired girl obeyed Uriel's orders.

Akira arrived in front of a large tent "My, my, how unusual for a woman to come to this slave market" A fat man observed Akira "Do you want to join these slaves too, ojou-san?" The man teased.

"How dare you! I'm an adventurer!" Akira showed her adventurer ID to that man.

"Ah, m-my apologies!" The man was immediately frightened as soon as he saw Akira's adventurer ID "W-what's your business here?" The man asked.

"I need a strong slave to use as a punching bag on my next expedition" Akira tried to act arrogant and nonchalant.

"Of course, please come in. You can choose any slave you like" The man invited Akira into his tent.

Inside the tent there were many cage inhabited by nude girls and women that only wearing metal collar on their neck.

"Hmm..." Akira activated her user interface vision while pretending to look around.

"Not her, not her too" Akira saw the names of the girls and women seen in white letters above their heads inside the cages "Uriel said the name of the girl destined to be the heroine will be seen in pink letters" Akira muttered.

"Did you find your favorite?" Asked the slave merchant.

The brown haired girl ignored the man and continue to search.

...****************...

"Ah..." Akira began to see pink letters above a naked white-haired girl sitting inside a cage "Uriel, she's a girl destined to be a heroine, but why is her name still spelled 'slave girl' on my user interface?" Akira asked Uriel telepathically.

"Well, she's destined to be a heroine, but right now you don't know any info about her. That's why in your user interface she is only known as 'slave girl'" Uriel explained.

...****************...

"I want to buy her" Akira pointed at the white-haired girl "Alright, please wait outside the tent" The man picked up a leash lying on the nearby pole.

"There's no need, I'll do the transaction here" Akira insisted "But, ojou-san..."

"Her body is still good and perfect. i don't want you to stain her behind my back!" Akira shouted while acting arrogant and stubborn.

"ce-certainly, ojou-san, as you wish!" The fat man unlocked the cage and entered it. He easily tied the leash into the white-haired girl's collar and forcefully pulled her out of the cage.

But the white-haired girl did not fight back at all. She resignedly followed the fat man out of the cage.

"This is the slave you asked for, ojou-san. She is obedient, isn't she?" The man squeezed her left breast "She didn't protest at all either".

"How much the price for her?" Akira asked.

"Since she's still in good condition she's worth about..." The man did the math.

"50 Aurum".

"Here, count them yourself if you don't believe me" Akira handed the man a cloth bag filled with money.

While waiting for the man to count the money he received, Akira watched the white-haired girl.

".." The two girls' eyes met, but the white-haired girl quickly averted her gaze from Akira's eyes.

"The amount of money is right."

The man began to give a brief explanation "The collar she wears around her neck is a sign that she is a slave. It cannot be broken or destroyed. It can only be opened with a special key" The man pulled the leash and point the collar around the white haired girl's neck.

The man then handed a key to Akira "This is the key to open that slave's collar. If you open the collar, it signifies that she is a free person and not a slave anymore. So I advise you to keep this key carefully".

"..." Akira looked at the key in her hand then she look at the slave girl in front of her "I'll keep that in mind" The brown haired girl then put the key into her pouch.

"Alright, please enjoy your slave" The man gave Akira the leash linked to the white haired slave's collar.

Akira quickly walked out of the tent with her newly bought white-haired slave.

...****************...

It was already dusk when Akira and the white-haired slave arrived in front of Gloria's father's inn.

"she's really quiet, huh" Akira looked at the slave girl's face.

As soon as Akira entered the inn, she was greeted by Gloria's father "Welcome back, Akira".

"Oh..." Gloria's father and a number of male inn customer gaze at the slave girl following Akira.

"You bought a slave, huh..." Gloria's father commented "Well, i don't mind if she stays at my inn, though".

"Hey, hey, ojou-chan, how about you lend us your slave?" Said a man.

"We're a little bored here" commented another man.

"We'll pay you with money later" said another man.

"..." The slave girl stared resignedly at the inn floor.

Akira hugged the slave girl "No way! She is mine! If you want a slave you can buy one for yourself at the slave market district right?" Akira protected the girl.

"!" The girl was surprised when she felt the warmth of Akira's clothes.

Hearing Akira's words, the men who were teasing the slave immediately fell silent "Oji-san, can I borrow the bathroom?" Akira asked.

"It's over there" Gloria's father pointed to the inside of the inn "Thank you, oji-san" Akira immediately took the white-haired girl to the bathroom.

...****************...

Moments later, Akira and the white-haired girl took a bath together.

"Wow, I didn't expect this world to have a bathroom similar to Japanese onsen" Akira commented while washing the slave girl's hair.

"Kyah!" Suddenly, the white-haired girl let out a small cry as the soap entered her eyes.

"Oh, apparently you can talk" Akira was surprised to hear the slave's voice "I thought you were mute".

"I... will only speak if master allows me to" Said the slave.

"Is that because of her previous owner, huh?" Akira thought.

"Alright, since i'm your new owner, now i'll give you a new order" Akira started to face the white-haired girl.

"First of all, from now on you can speak whenever you like. That's including, your own opinion, suggestion, comment or protest to me."

"Secondly, don't call me master or mistress. My name is Akira and you must call me by that name."

"as you wish, Akira-sama" the girl obeyed Akira's order by calling the brown haired girl using honorifics.

"oh right, I don't know your name yet" Akira just remembered "Colette. my name is Colette, Akira-sama" The slave introduced herself.

"Alright Colette, I want you to join my party as an adventurer. But since it's late at night, we'll go shopping for your clothes and equipment tomorrow. So you must endure tonight without wearing any clothes".

"um, clothes? Akira-sama?" Colette was confused at Akira's words "Of course. How could I ask you to fight while stark naked like that. You could immeadiately died" Akira confirmed her words.

"It's been a long time since my last owner gave me clothes" Colette said "This girl had a hard life, huh" Akira thought to herself.

In the end Akira and Colette finished bathing. Akira put her long pants and shirt back on without wearing a belly protector while Colette remain naked with only a collar placed around her neck.

"Now it's time for dinner. I'll buy you something to eat, Colette" Akira said as she led Colette to the inn restaurant.

"Ah, it's time for a new scenario" Uriel spoke telepathically "Akira, tonight you must have sex with Colette".

"what?" Hearing Uriel's words Akira suddenly stopped walking.
