First Master and Servant Contract
Naruse Mio, chased out of the Toujo House, came to a park on a hill with Maria.
It was the park, where she had watched the sunset after cycling around the city on Basara’s bicycle.
---30 minutes since they had arrived there. Mio silently watched the glow of the city at night.
It was a beautiful sight. The glow of the buildings and the light of cars or trains appeared just like an illumination. Mio thought, if that how it looked when one looked down from the stars in the sky.
…Just like he said.
Remembering about the guy that taught her about this beautiful view, Mio frowned slightly.
“I knew coming together would be impossible…”
Back then, Mio had replied with a vague answer on Basara’s suggestion. Because she had known. That there wouldn’t be such a chance. Ever since they met, they had deceived Basara.
“Excuse me, Mio-sama… please do cheer up.”
Maria next to her looked up at her with worried eyes. Her appearance was back to one of a human.
“We were just unlucky that they turned out to be Heroes. With someone else, I am sure---”
“No, Maria… let’s put an end to all the deceiving.”
Mio shook her head.
“I wanted a base without involving anyone if possible, but… deceiving someone for that is certainly not to my liking.”
It wasn’t like they were penniless. Mio’s late foster father left them plenty of savings. But for a base, a single house was the best. If they carelessly rented an apartment or mansion in a living complex, the other inhabitants might get dragged in.
However, Mio was a minor to begin with. Furthermore, without relatives. And Maria was a child by appearance.
Like this they obviously couldn’t buy a place, nor rent. Of course it was possible that Maria manipulated memories with her magic, but she would have to manipulated the memories of a lot of people, if they wanted to buy a house as a minor and live without drawing the suspicion from the real estate office. Moreover, the memories would need to match each person’s position and relationships. The memory manipulation magic wasn’t that powerful.
