Chapter 1122: She Got Caught?
Sister Rolia finally noticed me and came over to cuddle me like usual.
“Waaaah~ I was just thinking that I missed you, Aster! The Gods must be blessing me!”
She then went ahead to stuff her face in between my boobs because of our height difference and I’m starting to understand why Mother likes to stuff my face in her chest all the time…
I cleared my throat, “Ahem… Umm… How are things going here?”
Unerolia looked up from in between my boobs to flash a grin at me, “Ehehehe~ Of course everything is going well, Aster! I even found out who the little bastards that were being bribed were! They would be personally disciplined by me later!”
Oof… those guys are probably going to get tortured until they’re half dead or something before they get thrown in the dungeons…
She then continued, “Anyway… Are we done here yet? Can’t we already storm their base? I think we’ve spent enough time out here already!”
Hmm… I suppose it is already close to nightfall…
I turned to the side and whispered, “Eins?”
My Shadow Guard popped up from the ground and bowed, “Master. It seems like Carrey has been captured.”
I blinked at her before letting out a shriek, “WHAT?!”
“She went inside the building those illegal slavers were using as a hideout and they captured her.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?!”
“Because she’s not in any danger, Master. You said to only inform you if she was in danger.”
“Isn’t being captured putting her in danger?!”
“It does not seem like they intend to harm her, Master. They are merely keeping her in a cell right now.”
“What about Funf that I attached to her?”
“She is still standing by, Master. If they try to harm her, we will definitely jump in to protect her as you ordered.”
“I thought you were able to read my mind and understand my intentions without me needing to specify the order?! Isn’t getting captured something I don’t want to happen to her?!”
She tilted her head at me, “We understood the order perfectly, Master. It seems like she had offered herself up to them.”
Eh?
Wait… So she intentionally let herself get caught?
Hmm… I guess maybe she was thinking about using that as a way to get more information?
“Does it look like she is trying to get more information then?” I asked.
Eins shook her head, “She has been staying still in the cell ever since she got captured. Although she did try to interact with the slavers and the other slaves but the slavers brought her into another cell instead.”
Ah crap… I think I know what happened… She most likely intended to gather more information from the start by pretending to let herself get caught and turned into an illegal slave… But now that she has a registered owner, the illegal slavers probably got worried that she might be a runaway slave or something and treated her like a legal slave instead just in case her owner showed up…
So her plan basically got ruined from the start…
And since she wasn’t captured with the intention to harm her and only to keep her, my Shadow Guards must have felt that intervening would have endangered her more and chose not to do anything either.
Damn…
“Ok, I guess we should strike now then. Gather everyone, we’ll have to deal with the illegal slavers, rescue Carrey and also free any illegal slaves they have captured as well. Have them meet up at the base itself.”
Eins bowed, “I shall inform the others at once, Master.”
A few more of my Shadow Guards appeared from my shadow and disappeared outside, presumably to find the rest of my girls to inform them of the plan.
Unerolia looked in the direction where my Shadow Guards had disappeared to, “How envious… I wanna be able to do that too… I would have obedient girls that won’t talk back to me and would do anything I asked…
I tilted my head, “Is Esmeral not enough for you?”
“Oh, I was talking about having Esmeral learn that skill so she could make even more of her to serve me! She’s irreplaceable to me!”
“I would also like to learn that skill too since I would be able to just leave all the troublesome work to them, Mistress,” Esmeral’s voice suddenly came from the side.
Both Sister Rolia and I jumped in surprise at her sudden appearance but Unerolia recovered quickly to pout at her, “Hmph! You’re always like this Esmeral! I’m definitely making you work overtime tonight!”
“… As you wish, Mistress.”
The blush on Esmeral’s cheeks pretty much gave away the fact that she was intentionally stirring up trouble just to get such an outcome.
Well… As long as they are happy of course…
Sister Rolia then turned to me, “Of course Aster will join us as well! We’re definitely doing it tonight!!”
… I should have seen that coming…
Whatever, I was already surprised that we didn’t do it the first night and I was prepared to do it tonight with her anyway.
Anyway… I think we should focus more on the illegal slaver raid first before this, don’t you think?

“That’s the place, right?” I asked, looking up at the normal looking store just across the street from the alley I was hiding in.
Though I said ’normal’, it was clearly a slave shop and since it was the only one in this entire street, it certainly stood out.
What’s more, there were even two armed guards standing at the front door eyeing everyone that was walking past as though they were doing their best to keep potential customers away instead of trying to welcome them.
I also don’t see any wagons in front of the store so they probably have not started transporting the illegal slaves away yet. Either that or they are doing it at the back of the store which I was unable to see right now.
Sister Rolia nodded at me, “That’s right. I remember coming here to do an inspection once and that’s definitely where they had set up their shop at. This area doesn’t have that many customers looking for slaves so the fact they managed to stay afloat was already some kind of miracle but not a big enough miracle that drew suspicion… I should have checked into them back then…”
Odeta then jumped up to her feet, “What are we waiting for then? Let’s bust in and beat them all up!”
Unerolia turned to her, “You can’t do that, Odeta!”
Yeah! That’s right, Sister Rolia! Tell her that we should plan first before we–
“I won’t let you get a head start on me! I’m charging in first!!”
The Marchioness pulled out her sword and charged out of the alley, running straight towards the front door of the illegal slaver’s hideout with said sword raised.
Ah… I completely forgot that Sister Rolia was that type of person…
Odeta saw the Marchioness charging off and let out a cry of her own, “Not fair!! Me too then!!”
The two of them rushed towards the store where two large men were standing guard, catching them both by surprise.
Unerolia smacked the one on the left with the flat of her blade to smash him into the wall while Odeta did a flying kick that sent the one on the right flying away.
The rest of my girls turned to look at me, clearly wondering if they should rush in after those two as well.
I sighed, “Let’s go then… We might as well take advantage of the surprise and take them out. They shouldn’t be expecting us so as long as we move fast, we should be able to deal with them before they can respond.”
The girls nodded before they too started to rush towards the store right as Odeta kicked open the door with enough force to send the doors flying off their hinges.
We ran across the street, ignoring the passers-by who were still shocked at the sight of what obviously looked like an attack of some sort.
“Is… Is this a robbery?”
“What’s happening? A gang fight?”
“Should… Should we call the knights?”
“Err… I guess? Wait… I think I saw the City Lord running in too.”
“The City Lord? Why would… Oh… Err… In that case, I didn’t see anything!”
“Yeah, neither did I! Ahahaha! I must be growing old to be seeing things!”
“Yes, nothing is happening at all!”
Wow… What have you done for the people of your own city to react like this when they see you, Sister Rolia?
My girls burst in through the door and it looks like the two ahead of us were already blowing through the store’s defences since I was greeted with the sight of several thugs all sprawled out in the corridor with some of them even halfway through the wall or smashed through the ceiling.
“Find where they keep the slaves and make sure they won’t be used as hostages,” I ordered, my girls immediately spreading out as soon as they heard that.
As for me… Eins, lead me to Carrey please~
Isn’t it easy when I already have someone on the inside? Heh heh heh~
