“I think if it were Master, she would make the other person completely submit, both body and soul.”
“…Hehe.”
In the face of Eluka’s admiring praise, An couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.
Fortunately, she didn’t mention that she came here to capture the loved one who escaped; otherwise, it would feel like the dignity of being a master would be completely lost.
All because of the Young Master.
Why did he have to run away?
It seems her methods really have to be a bit stricter.
Look at Eluka, after just two days, it feels like her lover has completely submitted his body and heart.
“Come, shake hands.”
“Woof.”
“Come, lie down.”
“Woof.”
“Come, wag your tail.”
“Woof?”
“Ah, I forgot you can’t do that, so just shake your butt instead.”
“Woof.”
“Good boy, good boy, Rod is such a good boy, I’ll give you some meat later.”
“Woof woof.”
He really is just like a dog.
An withdrew her gaze.
Can she really make the Young Master reach this level too?
“Ah, right, tea!”
After showing off her results in front of An, Eluka suddenly slapped her forehead, remembering that she still had boiling water on the stove.
So she hurriedly ran out.
“Master, I’ll go make tea, you take a look around for now.”
Halfway out, Eluka suddenly poked her head back through the door, feigning seriousness as she instructed:
“Don’t do anything bad while I’m gone~”
“How could I? I already have someone I like.”
“Hehe, I’m just kidding, how could I doubt Master?”
Eluka giggled and disappeared outside.
Without Eluka, the room instantly fell silent, and the man on the floor slowly crawled to the corner, curling up in the “doghouse” that Eluka had carefully built for him, seemingly unconcerned that his current appearance, which was indistinguishable from a dog, must look so humiliating to outsiders.
“Has he really been trained to this extent? Eluka seems to be more capable than I imagined.”
An quietly sighed, then turned her gaze elsewhere.
This room seemed to have once been a master bedroom, with traces left on the floor from where the bed had sat for years. It had been slightly remodeled; the large bed had been moved away, leaving only a vanity and a wardrobe, making it look extremely empty.
“What is this…”
An gently picked up a picture frame on the vanity.
Inside the frame was a painting.
In the painting, there was a family of three.
In this world, it is difficult for ordinary families to afford the expensive “magical portraits,” so most people, in order to preserve a moment, would hire cheap wandering painters on the street and frame the resulting artwork like a photograph.
Such paintings are not very exquisite, but An could still immediately tell that the cute girl being held by the middle-aged man and woman was a young Eluka.
“Are these Eluka’s parents? They look so similar to her.”
“Speaking of which, the portraits hanging on the living room wall must also be her parents. If that’s the case, this house belongs to her parents as well, but where did they go?”
“Strange, why am I thinking about this?”
If they’re not at home, they must have gone out for some reason; what is there to doubt?
It seems she’s gotten a bit mentally fatigued after chasing the Young Master for two days.
An smiled self-deprecatingly, returned the picture frame to its place, and glanced at the small statue next to it.
It seemed to be a decorative piece of a young girl hugging a heart, as if trying to crush it tightly in her embrace.
An didn’t pay much attention to it.
Then, by chance… she opened the drawer of the vanity.
Her slightly curled lips suddenly froze.
“What… what is this…”
An’s mouth slightly opened as she looked at the various “toys” in the drawer, things she had only seen in some books but never used.
Rich Woman’s Happy Ball…
Rich Woman’s Happy Whip…
Rich Woman’s Happy… in short, a whole series of products for a rich woman, all kinds and everything.
“Are… are these things really safe to use on the human body?”
Even An, who had specifically studied human anatomy to avoid accidentally stabbing Mu’en, couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy at this moment.
Some things, though called “toys,” felt more like “torture devices.”
If she used these things on the Young Master…
No, this is exciting.
An suddenly pushed the drawer back in.
Rubbing her face, she tried to repress the slight blush that had accidentally surfaced.
As a maid, this was too inappropriate.
At the very least, she should wait until she really captures the Young Master before getting excited.
…
After wandering around for a bit, she ended up back in front of the man.
“You—”
An squatted down, looking at the man, wanting to ask something.
But before she could speak, she froze.
The man before her had a clean-shaven face, and his features looked like they had been carefully groomed.
However.
His eyes were hollow, and his expression blank.
His eyes seemed to be staring at something, but there was nothing there; even in his pupils, it seemed that An’s reflection could not be seen.
When An placed her hand on his chin, he instinctively lifted his head.
Then—
“Woof.”
Clearly, despair and pain that seemed to drown everything were in his eyes.
But the sound was exceedingly joyful.
Like an automaton.
Press the switch, and it would move.
With a smile, it danced to the pre-set steps, but the soul inside had long since perished.
“You, are you alright?”
An’s tone suddenly trembled a bit.
Suddenly, she thought.
If her beloved Mu’en were to become like this, would she still be happy?
She had already made up her mind that it wouldn’t matter even if she only obtained the Young Master’s body, but would she really be happy?
Would she?
“Woof…”
A glimpse of confusion flickered in the man’s eyes.
It seemed that only now did he notice that the person in front of him was not the demon that had tormented him all along.
“Gugugugu…”
He suddenly grabbed An’s arm, making strange sounds from his throat that seemed to have no meaning, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t, like a wild man who had survived on a deserted island for twenty years, unable to speak human language for a short time.
But considering the time, he had only been trained for “two days” at most.
Finally, after a huge effort, An was able to hear what the man was desperately trying to say.
“Don’t… don’t go near that room…”
“Room?”
An followed the man’s gaze and saw that he was pointing to a closed door at the end of the hallway.
“Why can’t I go near it? What’s inside?”
The man didn’t answer.
He suddenly began to tremble all over, as if facing immense fear, his large hand clasping An’s tightly.
An knew that the man before her was originally a powerful being capable of facing supreme-level magical beasts, but at this moment, he was as vulnerable as a newborn baby.
“Don’t… don’t go near there, wuwuwuwu… there…”
“What’s in there? Why are you crying?”
An was a bit confused; she wanted to comfort the man to gain more accurate information, but he suddenly shook off her hand and curled back into his nest.
“Woof.”
He lowered his head and transformed back into a dog.
…
I love you.
