Chapter 159: The Meaning of Being Born into This World

I immediately returned to the empire where Master resides by using the “Instant Teleportation Device” that Master had given me, to report my achievements this time.

Incidentally, this “Instant Teleportation Device” is an unbelievable magical tool that allows you to instantly move to a place where you’ve marked a location.

Master is also able to frequently travel back and forth between the Death Forest and the Lorraine territory thanks to this magical tool.

And since I had marked Org, and also implanted a magic tool capable of eavesdropping when I used him as a practice dummy for magic, I was able to time it perfectly and instantly appear back at my former home.

By the way, I have not deactivated the mark or the eavesdropping magic tool on Org, and they remain embedded in him even now.

It might come in handy for something, and even if it doesn’t, that’s fine too.

“…Well done. As expected of my slave.”

After telling Master everything, he froze in surprise for a few seconds, then, after momentarily showing a slightly troubled expression, he lightly patted my head and praised me.

“M-Master!! I-I worked really hard!!”

How long has it been since someone praised me?

I suppose I must have wanted to be praised by someone.

That’s why, even though I was mistreated by my former family, I clung to the nonexistent fantasy that ‘maybe they would praise me like they did in the past.’

But the one who praised me, the one who gave me what I truly wanted, was not my former family, but Master.

And before I knew it, I had thrown myself into Master’s chest. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t stop the tears or my voice, and I sobbed like a child.

“Ah, you did well. But I don’t want you doing anything dangerous for my sake. You, and the other slaves, are my precious assets. Just don’t disappear on your own, okay?”

When Master called me a “precious asset,” tears flowed even more.

This was the first time in my life I had ever cried from being too happy.

At that moment, I also realized the meaning of being born into this world. I was born to become Master’s excellent slave, and I had finally found the reason for my existence.

~Protagonist’s Perspective

When one of my slaves, Ellis, suddenly appeared in front of me, I was surprised, wondering what had happened. But judging from her expression, it didn’t seem like something bad had occurred, which allowed me to relax a little.

However, what she said was something far beyond my expectations—something that could easily turn into an international issue.
