——Karin never knew what value she had in this family.

Although she was once a strong and gifted person, fate had already sentenced her to death after she lost all her companions and became disabled.

However, after losing all his power and becoming a slave, he encountered an unexpected miracle at the end of his life.

[I don't need this kind of thing, so I'll use it on you. ]

It was a secret treasure passed down from a war thousands of years ago, which could give dying people a "second chance" to regain their lives. It was originally a life-saving item that only princes, nobles, or wealthy merchants possessed.

——But the eldest son of the Marquis used that thing on a worthless slave like himself.

[Healed? I accidentally tore up your contract just now, so if you want to leave, go ahead. I don't care.]

He clearly used a secret treasure worth thousands of gold coins on his body, but he didn't ask for anything in return?

Even if he asked me to offer my body, I would have no objection. But not only did he have no interest in it, he even chose to spend money to hire me, who was almost useless, to give me a place to stay.

Such a favor, even if I give my entire life to it, I am afraid I will never be able to repay it.

“…I never intended to ask you to do anything from the beginning.”

——But I heard this answer.

That person has never had any expectations for himself, nor does he care whether he can create any value.

It was as if he had just taken in a stray animal and had never thought about getting anything from it.

……Why?

"But you...if you hadn't used that scroll on me then, you would have..."

"I've already used it. There's no point in talking about it now, right?"

...No, if I had never existed from the beginning, the young master could have simply sold the scroll and would not have to worry about funds at all.

That’s right, it’s because of me… The reason why the young master is so distressed now is because I, who am useless, have wasted his fortune.

"Is there anything else? If not, go and rest. You have to get up early tomorrow, so don't waste too much energy."

"……Yes."

——I had clenched my teeth unconsciously and clenched my fingers into fists.

This humiliation and unwillingness were like a noose tightened around her throat, binding Karin's heart in suffocating pain.

……

Aarons got up early the next day.

Based on the records on the calendar, he estimated that he had at most fifteen days before he was summoned.

During this time, he had to gain at least some popularity before he could ask the emperor to retain part of the territory.

But this kind of thing cannot be solved just by talking about it.

"Where's Karin? Is she still awake?"

"I made her a new set of combat clothes yesterday. She should still be adjusting them now."

"…Is this the power of personal interest?"

Aarons has indeed realized in the past few days that Xia Ye really has an immeasurable passion for making clothes.

This witch, who has lived for a thousand years, may have relied on this hobby to prevent her spirit from being worn out in loneliness.

"If you want to hear my experience in making clothes, I can find a day to tell you about it."

"If you want to listen for a whole day, then forget it!"

Because once the topic of clothes was mentioned, the expressionless beauty would talk three times more, so Aarons didn't dare to discuss this topic with her at all.

Just as the two were chatting at the door, the red-haired and brown-skinned wolf beauty finally appeared in front of them.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Master."

——After seeing Karin’s new outfit, Aarons’ eyes lit up.

The long-sleeved jacket, which was mainly black, was casually opened, revealing the white low-cut crew neck shirt underneath.

The combination of slim-fit motorcycle-style trousers and pointed thick-heeled leather boots further highlights the curves of her already slender and firm legs.

"...Is this also made by magic?"

"Magic, it's amazing, isn't it?"

Karin felt a little embarrassed when she noticed Aarons's eyes moving back and forth over her body several times.

However, she did not make any attempt to cover herself up, but showed off her charm as naturally as possible - even if she was not as magnificent as Xia Ye, her well-trained and graceful figure was enough to attract other people's attention.

At this time, Aarons was so moved that he burst into tears.

This kind of beautiful sister with animal ears, black skin and a sporty look will make even women take a few more glances at her when she goes out!

So what if it can’t fight? Just putting it at home to please the eyes is fine!

"Very good, I think it's appropriate."

However, Aarons had no intention of expressing these unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

He first pinched his nose casually, suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then gave his evaluation calmly.

"It's getting late, let's set off now. I'll leave the housework to you, Xia Ye."

"Yes, I wish you all the best."

Without wasting any more time at home, Aarons and Karin quickly left the Marquis's Mansion and walked towards the meeting point outside the city.

Since it was still early in the morning, there were not many people on the street, so Aarons quickly crossed the city and came to the east gate.

When the two men walked out of the city gate, they found two animal-carrying carts with strange markings painted on them, which had been waiting here long ago.

"Oh, sir, you're here really early. Does this lady want to go with you?"

"She said she wanted to join the battle, so I brought her here. Is there a problem?"

"Of course not. Please get in the car first. It will take several hours to travel three hundred miles."

Even with the fastest beast of burden, it would take at least three hours to pull a cart three hundred miles.

After Aarons and Karin boarded one of the cars, the team leader Kuran, who came to greet them personally, also walked into their car, seeming to want to talk about something.

"Sir, how much do you know about the magic source stone?"

"I have not learned any specialized knowledge in this area. I only know some basic common sense."

"Then while we are on the road, I will tell you about this thing."

Aarons had no idea why this technologically advanced world had no means of transportation similar to trains. He had only a vague knowledge of the magic source stone that was widely used as an energy source in this world, and had no idea of ​​the principles of the technology.

——But since someone is willing to explain, he doesn't mind taking this opportunity to make up for it.
