Volume 3 Chapter 17-2 The Villainous Guildmaster, Returning
Her voice was trembling.
I didn't turn around, but she must be crying.
"I was given an important task by the Master, and I have to do it... but you also have your own things to do... I couldn't rely on you... I felt lonely."
"Ah, but you didn't depend on me. You relied on your friends... and you did a great job protecting the Guild. Well done."
I gently pat Frederica's arm.
She came closer and rested her head on my shoulder.
She must want me to pet her head.
I do as she wishes and pet her.
"Hey... Master. What was your intention this time? You could have run the Guild from the Royal Capital without leaving me alone."
There is something called a Communication Magic Item.
With it, you can give orders from far away.
"I wanted you to learn to be independent."
In the past, she seemed like a puppet, always obeying my commands.
I wanted her to think for herself and act, even without my orders.
"I am human. I will die eventually. But you are a magic beast; you will live longer than me. You must be able to survive after your master is gone. But the old you couldn't do that."
"Master..."
I look straight into her wet, deep purple eyes.
"I will say this only once, Frederica. ...I want you to carry on my will and protect this treasure chest filled with important gems forever."
My ambition.
To create a world where the weak are not trampled and everyone can enjoy happiness equally.
Even if I achieve this ambition, it would mean nothing if I cannot maintain it.
I wanted Frederica to succeed me.
"So... that's what it was."
"Yes. But you only seem to care about me, like a silly dog. That's why I gave you a test. You passed it wonderfully."
I pet Frederica's head again.
"...You're really kind today."
Frederica says with a tearful voice.
"I have to praise you when you do well."
"...Am I being treated like a dog? I'm not happy about it."
"But you're smiling, aren't you?"
Her eyes were wet with tears.
But she wore a beautiful smile, like a flower blooming.
"This time, it was my turn, right?"
"What? So sudden?"
"Usually, Master finds hidden talents in people and helps them shine... So, you were doing that for me too, huh? ...Hey, Master."
Frederica looked up at me, smiling.
"Thanks to you, I discovered a talent I didn't even know I had. ...So, is it graduation now?"
Her eyes had no trace of the anxiety they once held.
It seemed like she understood my answer.
But she wanted me to say it.
What a hassle.
"Not yet. It's too early for you to leave. Stay by my side."
Frederica stood up, then squatted in front of me, bowing her head.
"Yes, my Master."
Her dog ears and tail wagged happily, swish swish.
Making her do something embarrassing... Seriously...
"By the way, Master... I want a reward for my hard work."
Frederica said, her cheeks turning red.
"A reward, you say?"
"Yes. Don't you think a hardworking pup deserves a reward?"
Frederica looked at me with eyes full of expectation.
She pointed to her lips, wearing a flirty expression.
Seriously... So that's why she brought this up at this moment.
"Come here."
"Yes♡"
Frederica happily approached me.
I pulled her in for a hug.
She leaned her weight against me.
Her large breasts pressed against my chest.
But she showed no sign of discomfort, pushing her body against me eagerly.
"Close your eyes."
"...Mmm♡"
I held Frederica close and pressed my lips against hers.
Her lips felt like fresh fruit.
But I quickly ended the kiss and pulled away.
"Already... is it over? I want more..."
She looked up at me, pleading.
I pushed Frederica away and stood up.
"Then you must work harder."
Just then, the morning sun rose from the east.
This town, this street, the Guild... and Frederica.
The sunlight beams down, making my precious treasure shine brightly.
"Understood, my master. I will do my best to support you so your big wish comes true."
Frederica also stands up and lines up with me.
"Let's definitely make it. Even the weak and oppressed can smile... a world full of kindness like that."
"Of course. I didn't need to be told that."
In the shining morning sun, we swear our promise.
We vow to keep the sparkle of the raw gemstones forever, under this beautiful scenery.
