Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World (LN)

Volume 2 - Ch 1.04

Come on, why dont you have a sit over here?

Oh, r-right!

Roxanne slowly walks inside the room. I dont know why, but somehow her nervousness is being passed onto me, making my heart race and my palms all damp with sweat. Come on, Michio, think of something to talk about! What are some casual conversation starting topics?!

Uhm is that number a five?

I asked Roxanne while pointing at one of the symbols engraved on the key to the room. I know that the rooms number is 517, but Im so desperate to keep the conversation going that Im literally willing to try anything, even if it makes me look like an idiot in her eyes.

Y-Yes, t-thats right.

And this here is seven?

Yes that is seven indeed.

Aaaarggghh, just as I expected, the conversation is not going well at all! I feel like we talked more naturally while we were heading to the inn from the Slave Merchants shop, but now everything seems to be getting to a standstill, not to mention that Roxannes uneasiness started rubbing itself on me. But I understand why her current situation might be filling her with fear. After all, she is now completely alone in one room with a guy she barely knows, and there is only one bed in here. As far as she is concerned, I might be planning to push her down and take her by force. Just so were clear on this, I absolutely do not intend to do that! I might be a garbage human being, but Im not a rapist!

So, uhm, like I hope you wont take it the wrong way but can I can I touch your ears?

Feeling like I have nothing left to lose, I made that rather abrupt request. It might have sounded like something totally pulled out of my ass, but I really wanted to try touching her animal ears as a method of taming. I mean convincing Roxanne that I have no ill intentions towards her. Well see how she responds, and if she says yes, then maybe that will be a good sign that she will be willing to do some more wild things in the future. Perhaps. Probably. Maybe.

M-My ears? Y-Yes, of course, I dont mind as long as youre fine with someone like me.

FUCK THE HELL YEAH!

Then please, have a sit here next to me.

I once again beckon Roxanne to my side in a true Chris Hansen fashion. And remember, everyone, what were about to do here is nothing indecent. Its just skinship between a master and his servant. Thats right, just wholesome skinship, with no lewd ulterior motives behind it! After all, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, skinship is one of the most important methods of deepening the bonds between people. Right now, Roxanne is nervous and filled with anxiety, but if I show her that I am genuinely interested in getting to know her better then Im sure she will come to accept me and trust me, no matter how long that would have to take. And if I play my cards like, maybe she will really become interested in doing more daring activities with me, or at least I hope so. But that is a matter for the future. For now, lets focus on the task at hand: deepening our trust by petting her cute dog ears!

Roxanne came to the bed, but instead of sitting next to me she sat on the floor in front of me. Looking at the situation were now in, it probably would have looked like an intro to a hentai anime for anyone who would watch us from the sidelines. But today is not the day for us to do hentai stuff, only wholesome bonding. Which is why I have to keep my little Durandal in check. Keep calm little one, your time to shine will come one day. I know its hard to keep yourself in check with such a first-class beauty right in front of us, and our instincts are telling us to take advantage of this intimate one on one situation, but we have to be rational here. We have to be like the how did English people called it again? Oh yeah, The Person of Reason, or something along those lines, I dont really care all that much. The bottom line is: I have to keep myself from doing anything indecent to her if I want her to stop being so wary of me. That is the goal that I want to achieve here.

Uhm, Roxanne?

Yes?

You can sit right here beside me. You dont have to sit on the floor.

Really? Its fine?

Yup. So come here. Right here.

I patted the mattress right beside me in an inviting manner.

Okay then.

Roxanne stood up and sat next to me, on the very edge of the bed, as if she didnt want to take any more space than it was absolutely necessary. Not what I was expecting, but at least she wont be sitting on the floor like an animal. Now that shes so close to me I wanted cuddle to her or straight up hug her, but she can take such an action the wrong way, so Ill better hold on with that for the time being.

I hope that by doing this Ill be able to soothe her anxiety, even if just for a little bit.

Just just be gentle please?

I swallowed my saliva and silently placed my hand on Roxannes head. Her face is so beautiful even when viewed from the side, and her hair slide through my fingers like the strands of the finest silk. It is also unbelievably soft and fluffy, making me want to touch it forever. Yeah, right, we all know that what I truly want to do now is to just push her down, but I cannot allow that urge to overcome me! I need to keep my will strong and unwavering!

Uwaaaah, this is a great feeling, one that could eliminate all sadness and purify even the evilest of spirits. After thoroughly enjoying the feeling of her hair, I finally tried touching her dog ears. They are large, droopy and even softer than her hair. There is also a certain pleasant thickness to them. They are not hard, and every inch of them is like a quintessence of fluffiness. A fluff incarnate, so to speak.

Oh my God, this is so addicting that it might just become a habit for me! What am I going to do if I wont be able to last a day without touching those fluffy cuties of hers?! Ah, screw it, well worry about that later! For now, lets take it up another notch, shall we? At first I only touched her ears with one hand and I tried to be as delicate as possible not to hurt her or make her uncomfortable, but since shes not protesting to any of my caresses thus far, then I think I can try petting her with both of my hands.

You know Roxanne, ever since I first saw you I thought you were a beautiful girl, but your ears are on a completely different level.

I allowed myself to be upfront with her. Its true that I think that her beauty is exceptional, but her droopy, cute ears multiply her beauty factor at least ten, no, a hundred times! Roxanne herself is incredibly erotic (especially those boobies of hers) and her ears are cute, and those elements combined result in the birth of the ultimate combo able to melt the heart of every guy: erotically-cute (TL Note: ero-kawaii in Japanese)! Theres just something calming in them, something thats calm and comforting, yet arousing at the same time.

I, uhm thank you?

Unable to look me in the eyes after I gave her such a direct compliment, Roxannes cheeks turn red and her eyes start to wander all over the place, until finally she just casts her gaze down.

So goddamn CUTE!!!!

Seeing her as she is now, and after she filled my heart with peace and tranquility, theres no way I could do anything impure to her! I just continue to stroke her ears like an innocent child. It took a few solid minutes, but it looks like she finally stopped being so anxious and relaxed a little. I, on the other hand, still had to give it my all to remain as calm as possible.

Looking at her from the side again, she really didnt look like she disliked what I was doing to her. Or maybe she does, but shes doing her best to accept it? Maybe she also understands that skinship is important in deepening the bonds between a master and servant?

UwU, and whats this? When viewed from the side, her chest looks like its even bigger, and it jiggles up and down with every breath she takes! I want to touch those tasty melons! I want to fondle them! But I cant! Be patient, Michio! Rid yourself of the earthly desires to focus on what you have to do!

M-Maybe its not the best time to say this, but once again, Ill be in your care from now on, Michio-sama.

And once again, likewise. Ill be in your care as well, in all sorts of ways.

Roxanne bowed to me while still having her ears stroked. When she raised her head, I patted it again.

Those ears of yours are really nice. We should do this more often, if its fine with you of

Uhm Michio-sama?

Yes, what is it?

Can can I call you my master from now on? Or perhaps youd prefer some other title?

.

Thats it. Im done. If there is a God in this world, then let him strike me down right where I sit for I have achieved the ultimate fulfilment!
