Chapter 186: Activation Method and a New Slave

"No, that magic circle should still be usable. Though it only moves with my magic power."

Gejia interrupted Birga’s words and said.

Certainly the magic circle itself is not broken.

"W-why didn’t you say that!? Please move it quickly!"

Birga said to Gejia putting half irritation and half expectation.

But...

"It is impossible for current me. I myself have almost no magic power. Mother and older sister are also in this state. I cannot put out an amount of magic power enough to move such a large-scale magic circle."

Gejia became small and said looking apologetic.

"Then when can you do it!"

"Let’s see, it should return in about a hundred years..."

At Birga’s question Gejia said while thinking.

"Na! I-I cannot wait that long!"

Birga stood and screamed.

"But until now you moved that magic circle right?"

I got curious so after soothing Birga with a hand wave I tried asking Gejia.

"The golem is like that."

Looking behind the golem that lost two heads lay face down.

Part of its hand crumbled the floor and hung to the lower floor.

With that I do not know what happened to the dildo that was violating Gejia.

"Then you are useless!"

Birga still standing pointed at Gejia bishi.

"That’s right."

"Don’t make me expect!"

Birga yelled at Gejia.

Gejia became even smaller.

But I heard a good thing.

If Gejia harbors the same magic circle on her body as Yuki...

"Amplifying my magic power is... no, let’s stop."

I said halfway and noticed.

Yuki suffered when her magic power was amplified.

I cannot force that.

"That’s right, even if you amplify your magic power with my body the base remains your magic power. That magic circle will not accept it."

Aa, that is also so.

"Fufu, if I were your Dule I could change your magic power into my magic power."

Gejia muttered as if talking to herself.

Is that so?

"Then shall we try becoming one?"

I was tired too I suppose.

I said it somehow but...

"No, sorry, forget that just now."

Pierced by Birga’s freezing cold gaze I hurriedly apologized to Gejia.

As expected that is not for a first meeting.

But...

"I am fine with it. I am one whose life was saved. I can return the favor to you. And a human’s lifespan is an instant from we Mabito tribe. But to you who are human my soul is too large..."

Gejia looks not entirely unwilling.

She just thinks it is impossible for a human.

That is normally correct but especially regarding me it is an exception.

"I am fine."

"You made an elf a Dule after all."

Birga retorted looking amazed.

"...Who did you hear that from?"

I think Birga has not met Sophia...

"Everyone knows. No one has seen an elf Dule."

That’s right.

I go to the castle together with Sophia.

She stands out I suppose.

"I see. You are a vessel owner enough to make an elf a Dule."

For some reason Gejia nodded repeatedly looking impressed.

"And whether true or false I heard a rumor you made a dark elf a To-Dule..."

"What! Is that true?"

Then she was surprised at Birga’s additional explanation.

"Ah, aa. Well, yeah."

I affirmed vaguely but for now.

"You are... amazing."

"You are just unprincipled."

I received Gejia’s respectful gaze and Birga’s cold gaze all at once.

"Hahaha..."

In this chaotic atmosphere I could only laugh.

Ah, no, I have to continue the talk.

"So what will you do?"

"As I said earlier if I can help you I am not stingy."

When I asked Gejia she agreed.

"Are you really going to make this a Dule!? She is a monster!?"

Birga raised her voice surprised now.

She apparently thought the exchange between me and Gejia was a joke.

"Aa. Gejia agreed and I have no problem either."

"No, there is a huge problem! She is a monster!? She will eat you!?"

Birga hurriedly refuted.

"Dules cannot harm their master right?"

"...Sh-she might harm other people!"

When I asked conversely Birga did not answer that and said another concern.

"Will you not?"

"If you wish."

When I asked Gejia she answered immediately.

"Au, au..."

Birga opened and closed her mouth trying to say something but apparently cannot think of anything.

"Alright, then I leave it to you."

With Birga who tried to appeal something to me with a face that looked about to cry in the corner of my eye I said to Gejia.

"Understood."

Gejia nodded greatly.

...

"Lady Birga please grip Hiroyuki-dono’s hand. And if Hiroyuki cannot accept my soul I want you to push my soul back."

"I-I understand."

Birga gripped my left hand as Gejia said and nodded.

A Mabito becoming a human’s Dule is extremely unconventional from both Gejia’s and Birga’s view so they trust me but will prepare for the worst they say.

"The reverse is a common thing."

Gejia explained thinly.

"Then shall we begin."

Gejia said to me with a tense expression.

"Aa."

I nodded and looked at Gejia’s face from the front.

In the pitch dark room the Illumination granted to the dagger Birga holds in her left hand lit Gejia’s face.

Her dignified neat face is almost unchanged from a human, the difference is only one twisted horn each growing from left and right of her forehead.

I placed my right hand on Gejia’s left breast.

"What is your name?"

"Gejia."

"Will you become my Dule?"

"...I confer my body, heart, and soul to you and will become your Dule."

Gejia answered my question and declared solemnly.

At that instant Gejia’s left breast glowed.

"Aaa!!!!"

Gejia’s scream echoed throughout the room.

The light born from Gejia was sucked into my left hand.

This is... incomparable to the other Dules.

I can tell a soul larger than Sophia or Yanica is poured into my vessel.

But at the same time I can tell that this degree looking at the whole the amount inside my soul vessel has almost not changed.

To analogize...

If Muriel and the other humans’ soul amount is a cup full, Sophia and Yanica a bucket full, then Gejia is a drum can... what was that.

Well about a water jug full perhaps.

Then my vessel might be a lake or perhaps as large as the sea.

No matter how much water jug full of water you put into the sea the water level does not rise at all.

It feels like that.

Gejia’s soul settled inside me and Gejia looked at me while twitching her body.

"D-did you really swallow my soul!"

Gejia raised a surprised voice.

At this Birga gripping my left hand also did not blink once with her mouth open.

"Now, with this Gejia is my Dule."
