The staff member's eyes were scanning the hall, but from time to time he would intentionally give Ella a meaningful look. Ella thought that this was probably to urge her.

Seeing the staff's gaze, and as a player who usually likes to hoard resources in the game, Ella finally decided to go forward and participate in this game with a predetermined ending.

He pretended to be indifferent and walked up to the staff, took out three silver coins from his purse and handed them over.

Only then did I finally realize the hostile gazes directed at me.

[This is really eye-catching... Fortunately, I wore a mask, otherwise I don't know what their expressions would be when they saw my true face.]

Ella seemed to feel a non-existent drop of sweat running down her forehead.

"Is anyone else here?"

The staff asked again, and there was a sound of smacking lips in the hall.

"Count down five seconds. If no one shows up, I'll assume you've given up."

The countdown was over, and of course, no one came on stage except Ella.

After knocking on the table again, a group of men without shirts and wearing collars appeared at the main entrance, carrying a wooden box that looked to be about one meter high into the hall. Judging from the movements of the men carrying it, the box did not seem to be very heavy.

"Congratulations to this young master for winning the reward for tonight's special event. Now, please check the gift inside the mysterious box in the other room. Let's continue the fun!"

After the staff in charge of the odds read out the results to the gamblers in the venue with a smile, he wanted to lead Ella into one of the passages connecting to the hall.

"Wait, do we have to inspect the boxes here?"

Ella didn't want to enter the room for her own safety - she didn't know if there was anyone in this world who could threaten her, and even if there wasn't, she still wanted to avoid possible trouble later.

The staff member was stunned for a moment, then responded in a respectful tone.

"No, you can take the box back to your own residence, but you'll need our slaves to carry it, and you'll have to pay for the shipping..."

"No problem. Just move to my place and have your people follow me. The money you need will be deducted from the 20 gold coins you were rewarded with."

"Alright, but please note that this box contains a pet. We've signed a master-servant contract with this pet. The first person this pet sees will automatically be registered as its owner. Please choose a good location when you open the box. Of course, if you're not satisfied, you can discard it."

"Just ask someone to carry it over here. I need to go back to my own place now."

"Please, this is the gold coins after deducting labor costs."

After the staff member made a gesture of invitation, he gave a look to the slaves who had just put down the box, and the slaves lifted the box again, waiting for Ella to come forward.

Speechless all the way.

When they returned to the inn, Ella had the slaves place the box at the door and told them to go back. After taking off her mask, she asked the inn staff to help carry the box upstairs.

Sitting on the bed, looking at the wooden box on the floor before her, Ella felt a little apprehensive. What could possibly be inside? She hadn't learned any puzzle-solving magic to detect enclosed objects. If it contained a ferocious beast, it would be fine. At most, she would be startled. With her current strength, she would have some confidence. But what if it contained a giant mutant spider or some other insect that jumped on her... that would probably leave a psychological scar.

“Come to think of it, there hasn’t been any movement—”

It was late at night and everything was very quiet inside and outside, but even so, no sound could be heard from inside the box.

"Could he have fallen asleep? It's possible. Let's open it and take a look."

Ella picked up the sword "Black and White Wings" placed on the bedside and carefully inserted the tip of the sword into the edge of the box. Because she was not tall enough, she had to kneel on the bed and use her strength. With the strength added by her level, she slowly moved the tip of the sword along the edge of the box and finally pried it open with force.

——A pile of dolls that filled the entire box rolled out.

"What's the meaning of this? Are these stuffed dolls the pets? What a bad taste."

Ella jumped off the bed, squatted down, and rummaged through the pile of dolls with her hands. Perhaps this was a leftover effect from playing adventure games. She had to search through everything before she would stop.

While searching, her hand touched a wet, hot, hard object. Ella quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted. While recalling the touch on her hand, she sniffed the smell on her hand.

"Is this—the smell of sweat?"

Quickly and carefully fished out the piles of dolls and threw them aside.

Then, slowly, the object that was previously encountered revealed its full appearance.

It was a purple-haired girl who was sleeping, covered in scars, and skinny.

Chapter 15: Archangel's Kiss

"Hey, is this true?"

Ella was shocked by the girl before her. Although she had a vague feeling that the person buried there might be a person when she pushed aside the pile of dolls, she was still shocked when she saw the whole thing.

The girl before him was barely human anymore.

It was like the people who had been imprisoned in concentration camps for a long time that I had seen in historical pictures.

"A pet?—even I'm a little angry."

Ella couldn't imagine how much torture it would take to turn a person into this state.

"No matter what, let's save him first."

She felt the girl's breath with her hand—there was still a trace of air. Ella breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl was already dead, there was nothing she could do. From what she could tell, this world didn't have the kind of resurrection mechanism that existed in games.

He knelt on the ground, lifted her back with one hand, and with the other hand passed through her knees, then carefully picked up the girl and placed her on the bed.

『Change level to 50』

"Intermediate Healing Technique."

A layer of golden light enveloped the girl.

Before the golden light faded, Ella changed into the "Swordsman's White Dream" and put on a black cloak, carried the girl on her back, stepped on the window, and jumped out.

"'Wings of Hermes'."

A pair of wings appeared on the silver boots, and instead of landing on the ground, it flew directly into the forest.

The reason for adjusting the level to 50 is that using healing magic at a higher level can cause unexpected effects. A mere intermediate healing spell can only heal the girl's physical wounds, but it cannot address her internal weakness. Therefore, she must find a place where she can freely use magic without being discovered.

After crossing the city wall, they flew into the forest in a moment.

Modify level to 800

He exhaled lightly and uttered the name of the next skill.

"Archangel's Kiss."

However, nothing happened.

"What's going on? Why isn't it working?"

Ella was suddenly panicked. She could live freely in the other world like this because of the abilities given by the Loli God. If she lost these abilities, she might suffer the same tragic treatment as the girl in front of her.

I carefully recalled the appearance of the skill in my mind, and in order to strengthen my imagination, I read out the name of the skill word by word.

"Archangel's Kiss."

Still nothing happened.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"

After putting the girl down, Ella paced back and forth anxiously. Thinking of the girl's fate and her own future, Ella felt an uncontrollable panic.

"state"

Name: Elelaya

Race: Terran

Level: 116?

HP: 11600/11600

MP: 1124/1160

Physical strength:1107/1160

"The status bar still works."

Ella breathed a sigh of relief, and then discovered something unusual.

"Why is there only a question mark in the level column? I clearly raised my level to 800, so how come it's 116? Hmm? No, if it's 116, then there's a reason why I can't use Archangel's Kiss."

The in-game threshold for using "Archangel's Kiss" is 720, and since I'm only level 116, it's normal that I can't use it. But why can't I change my level at will?

Ella suddenly remembered something very important and spoke as if she had suddenly realized something.

"In F.Wing, my Swordsman class is only level 116."

It seems that after switching careers, one cannot modify the maximum level at will, and can only switch between the lowest level and the highest level already reached.

After getting the answer, Ella thought about the appearance of the character panel in her mind, and then selected the last character in the panel, the loli god-like character.

A white light flashed, and he once again turned into a lolita god with silver hair and purple eyes, wearing a black gothic lolita outfit, and a pair of pure white petite wings on his back.

『Change level to 999』

"state"

Name: Elelaya?

Race:? ? ?

Level: 999?

HP: 99999/99999?

Magic value MP: 9999/9999?

Physical strength: 9999/9999?

"It worked. It seems like it's really affected by my previous game level. Was this character created by the Loli God?"

She stopped walking back, took a long breath, and patted her very flat chest with her delicate hands.

Ella walked up to the girl, squatted down, held her in her arms, and then read out the name of the skill.

"Archangel's Kiss."

Immediately, a powerful light illuminated the surrounding area like daylight. A pair of massive, outstretched golden wings overlapped Ella's delicate, pure white wings. The golden wings spread to their full extent before instantly folding, enveloping the girl in her arms. Ella lowered her head and gently kissed her forehead. The next moment, the golden wings gradually vanished.

Thinking about the effect of "Archangel's Kiss" - restoring the user's status to 100% and clearing all negative effects - Ella felt relieved, and then

“Why did it become me who had to perform it…?”

Originally, the Archangel's Kiss was supposed to be performed by a summoned angel, but now, for some reason, Ella's mind was filled with instructions for her to carry out the actions. Since it was working, she didn't need to worry about it. She just needed to be careful not to use it on men in the future.

Looking at the girl sleeping soundly in her arms, now back to her normal self—now a young girl—Ella couldn't help but wonder, would this light kiss count as sexual harassment? But since artificial respiration was allowed, and she'd only kissed her forehead, it shouldn't be a problem. She wondered if there were any rules in otherworldly culture that required responsibility after a kiss. She looked like a young girl anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem.

"She shows no signs of waking up. Let's take her back and let her have a good sleep."

He switched to the Swordsman class again, changed his level to 50, and flew back to the inn.

Gently placing the girl on the bed, Ella couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the sheets soiled by her.

"Oh my, I'm going to trouble the boss lady now."

Since there was no need to cleanse the body in "F.Wing" before, there was naturally no such magic. Although I thought of using the most basic "Summon Water Element" and "Intelligence Interpretation and Baking" to achieve the purpose of cleaning, this is no different from ordinary washing.

While silently repeating this to himself, he stripped the girl of her only clothing and threw it on the ground. Since it was midsummer and the night temperature was high, he simply put the girl in the pajamas he had bought that afternoon and that was it.

Ella took out the hay that she used as flammable material in "F.Wing" from her personal storage and spread it on the ground. Then she took off the cloak from "Swordsman's White Dream" and used it as a sheet. She lay on the makeshift bed and thought about how to deal with this girl.

"So, you're just treating her like a pet... You're treating such a cute girl like a pet?"

But could he really treat this girl as a pet? If there was a lively bitch in the box, he might not be able to resist the temptation and really treat her as a pet, but as long as he thought of the girl's previous appearance, he couldn't let go of his sympathy for her.

"It's not good to leave this girl here alone... That guy in the casino said he'd signed a master-servant contract, so it looks like he's been a slave for a long time, right? She can't survive on her own like this..."

Staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Then stay with me. Who knows, she might turn out to be a caring and considerate girl? That way, I can easily travel in the other world."

"If you want to address me, I'd say, meidou-chan?"

Feeling a string in her heart tremble, Ella quickly shook her head.

"Well, let's not be so mean. Let's ask the child about his wishes tomorrow."
