"Master, welcome back."
Tilu greeted him happily and stepped forward to take what Rey was holding.
Kai looked at the big and small bags and was a little curious. Didn't Rey go to the city lord's mansion?
He asked, "What are these things?"
"A speciality from the City Lord's Mansion."
Rey answered casually and asked Tilu, "Is the little girl awake?"
Tilu answered "no" and carried the package into the house.
Kai was a little confused. "What specialities does the City Lord's Mansion have?"
Rey rubbed his hands and said, "There are quite a lot of them. The things placed everywhere look very valuable."
After saying that, he was ready to check on the little girl's condition.
Kai still didn't understand, so he followed Rey's footsteps.
"Hey fucker, how did you do at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Good."
Rey seemed to feel that what he said was a bit vague, so he added, "Lid is very easy to talk to. He answers everything I say to him."
"He is so kin"d, Rey said with a smile on his face.
"Has the problem been solved?" Kai naturally knew that Lid was the eldest son of the city lord, but he did not expect that Rey would also find Lion's brother.
"It's settled. Lid gave me all the compensation. It's just those bags of things. You can pick as many as you like."
Kai thought that he had done nothing and was a little embarrassed to take it, so he refused.
"Ah, by the way, didn't Lion say anything?"
Rey recalled, "He said he didn't like me and wanted to get rid of me, but Lid told him to shut up forever."
That's it; no wonder he came back so soon.
Kai felt that he had a general understanding of the situation. Although something was not quite right, he did not dwell on it.
Rey came to the little girl. The slave collar had been lifted. He could take it off as long as he recorded his magic power again.
The premise is to make sure that she is not an enemy when she wakes up.
Rey had just finished recording the magic power, and the little girl suddenly widened her eyes and showed little hostility when she saw him.
It seems she is calmer now.
The little girl cautiously distanced herself. Rey waited for her to look at him and then asked, "What's your name?"
When she didn't reply, Rey changed the language.
So he asked again in English.
The little girl's eyes suddenly widened.
Rey was also a little excited, but not particularly excited.
He asked again in Japanese.
The little girl trembled and shed tears. "Are you from Earth?"
"Yes," Rey confirmed, then decided to change the conversation to another place, "Come with me."
The two came to Rey's current room and closed the door.
Then, Rey handed her a cloth to wipe her tears and asked the question that concerned him most.
"Were you the one who was in the accident on that bus?"
The little girl murmured, "Could it be that you are too?"
Hearing what she said, Rey understood.
I am not the only one who is reincarnated.
At that time, the entire bus was hit by a truck. It seems that this time we are travelling to another world collectively.
Then my sister may also come to this world.
Whether it is dangerous or not is another matter...
Rey couldn't remember how many people were on the bus at that time. He only remembered that there were not many people, probably in the single digits.
"What's your name?" Although Rey didn't think he knew her, he still asked.
"Mito, Mito Suzuki."
Rey's eyes widened, No.
Suzuki – he had heard this name before.
"Are you Hanami's friend?"
"Eh?" The little girl was stunned, then nodded sharply.
Rey smiled bitterly, "I am her brother, but there is one thing. I don't even know why you were on the bus."
The little girl recalled what happened a few days ago.
She hesitated and then said it, "Hanami said that we would travel together, and when her brother finally agreed.
She definitely didn't want to take care of other people, so she asked her to go on a trip together to the destination."
When we meet, we pretend it's a chance encounter."
Rey's face twitched; those girls were really capable of what she would do.
He looked at the little girl and said, "My name is Rey now. Just call me by this name here. What is your name?"
"Lettice."
"I understand, Lettice. Regarding your matter, don't worry; the slave collar matter has been resolved, and I can help you take it off now."
Lettice looked at him in disbelief. "Really? Is it really possible?"
Rey plans to prove it directly through action.
When Lettice saw her outstretched hand, her body trembled. She did not move away but closed her eyes tightly.
Rey knew why. The other party was originally a slave, and she was a slave who was trained to be a killer.
Her life has been in the control of others from the beginning. She can't see hope in her memory, so she is afraid.
The contrast between her fight and her defeat also proves this. Her body has become a killer, but her mind is another person, so she will collapse when facing death.
When Rey was about to take off the collar, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
Lettice's yellow eyes were full of wavering. "Don't take it off."
"Why?"
"I know I am a werewolf now, and the werewolves are different from the humans. If I stay in the human country, I will be treated as a slave, and someone will try to take advantage of me. But if I have a master, that won't happen."
Lettice is right; this is the position of the werewolf here.
She continued, "The only one I can trust is you, so it's better to keep it like this. It's the safest way now."
"Do you want to stop thinking about it?" Rey tried to persuade her.
"I have thought about it carefully. Hanami told me about you, brother, so I believe in your character."
Rey blinked.
(No, that's not the question.)
He also believes in himself as a person.
But, just...
"Think again."
Lettice insisted, "I've thought about it."
Rey looked away.
He is actually happy to take in beautiful girl slaves of all races, but there are a lot of questions about the identity of this slave.
Rey seemed to see the near future.
Hanami looked at him with contempt. "Huh? Brother, what did you do to my classmate?"
Understand? No, his sister always only speaks from facts.
As for the other serious matter.
Rey hesitated for a rare moment, "How old are you in this world?"
Lettice glanced at her petite body and said, "She seems to be twenty-three years old."
Rey quietly clenched his fists; this can be done.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, dinner is ready."
Tilu's voice came from outside the door.
"Let's go, let's go get something to eat first, and we'll talk later if we have anything else to do."
Rey was about to leave when Lettice stopped him again.
"Rey...brother, there's another thing. There was another girl on the bus at that time."
"Well, I understand. I will pay attention to find out about her."
Kaguya, this name is quite interesting.
The encounter with Lettice filled Rey with hope that his sister might still be alive.
