Chapter 20: The Puppy and the Bread
When April was still carefully drinking White Mountain coffee with her arms curled and holding her cup in a very cute way (after all, Aiya is not afraid of being hot, but it still tastes bad if it is too hot), there is a sudden knock on the door outside the store.
"It's closed!" Mellon shouted outside without looking back, "If it's Ino, come in by yourself!"
And so the door opened.
An Aya stood in the doorway, her face still expressionless like a puppet. The long hair fluttered slightly because of the breeze outside.
She wears clothes in a blue color palette, bare legs under a short skirt, and a pair of small leather shoes.
Sure enough, it was Enauice.
This time, he was holding two paper bags side by side in his arms.
The one on the right, inside is ...... A baguette.
"This. Inois quietly held the paper bag and tried to get closer to Mellon, trying to stuff it into his arms.
"What?" Mellon didn't react.
"Dogs. In one of the paper bags that Eno was holding, there was a very cute little stray dog lying on his stomach.
It seems to have been cleaned by Aya's purifying powers. I can't seem to open my eyes yet.
"Haah......" The boss looked distressed: "Picked up the puppy again? We can't raise it here, I told you." ”
"Give. Ino crossed his feet, his face serious. Because of her height, she tried very hard to stuff another paper bag into her boss's arms.
"Uh...... Baguette......" Mellon was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"It's all for you. Eno crossed his feet and touched the two paper bags in his arms, and then looked at Mellon expectantly.
"She meant to give you a baguette and wanted you to get that puppy. Aprili understood what Eno meant, who had a little difficulty communicating, meant.
"I refuse. Mellon immediately made a decision and immediately denied it: "Eno, you pick up puppies like this, we can't keep them in our store." If you like it so much, you can't raise it yourself. ”
"The master won't let ......" Ino looked innocent, but his tone became softer. She tugged at the corner of Lameron's coat and seemed distressed: "Stay?"
"So why do you have to send ...... to us after you pick up the puppy" Mellon was still unwilling, so he refused with a strong heart: "No, no, no." You've picked up a few of them. If it goes on like this, it won't be a head. ”
"......" Ino looked sad and hung his head.
When Mellon looked at her like this, he began to feel that his position was not firm.
Looking down at the little white dog, he had to hint again that he wanted to be ruthless.
Eno is very fond of small animals, and always picks up kittens and puppies to send here.
At first, there was no problem, but then I had to refuse them one by one.
After all, there are too many stray animals, how can they all be taken care of one by one. No one can stand that.
“...... Isn't it okay to take the bread?" asked Ino with an innocent look on his face, holding a very thick baguette and tilting his head.
"You can save it and eat it......" Mellon sighed, also refusing.
"So, if you don't want bread, can the dog stay?" said Ino's brain circuit, which might have been really strange, so she asked expectantly.
And in his eyes, even the word "expectation" is explicitly expressed.
"Of course not. Mellon, though it seemed a little difficult to refuse, insisted anyway.
At the same time, he also returned the bag containing the puppy to Inoace. This means that this kind of thing really can't be done.
"I've already delivered bread, why can't I do it......" At this time, Ino was already distressed, holding two bags and looking depressed.
Anyway, why does Ino think that if you give someone a baguette, you can ask the other party to accept the puppy......
April was at a loss for help with this question.
"Do you want a dog?" Seeing that the baguette's bribe was of little use to Mellon, Ino turned to anticipation and shoved the thick bread along with the puppy towards Tina.
"That...... Although I like dogs very much......" Tina was very embarrassed when the puppy was stuffed in her arms: "But Melon and I are a family, and our family really can't have more dogs." ”
"I'll try to pick up the kittens. Although she didn't know what Ino was thinking, she obviously misunderstood a lot of things, and made a serious promise: "Next time, I will buy you a round bread." ”
"Ah...... Neither can kittens. Hurriedly reacting to Ino's misunderstanding, Tina eagerly tried to make Inoace understand what she meant more simply: "It's good that Ino likes animals, but don't pick them up here." ”
"......" Ino was still expressionless, just looking at the puppy in his arms, as if he was lost in thought.
She was holding two bags, looking struggling because of Aya's petite size.
The slave nameplate on the dragon skin collar is beautiful, like a decoration. All legally registered slaves had such a nameplate on their collars. On the outside, it's just a family coat of arms and the owner's coat of arms, but the word slave should be written on the inside as the most convenient way to confirm identity.
In addition to allowing the slave to be easily captured wherever he went, this collar also had the effect of protecting the wearer.
Because if you wear it, you'll hardly ever be caught.
Slaves are rare these days. But because of the identity problem, it is still generally not regarded as a human being. The people at the bottom.
Slaves had to endure ridicule everywhere they lived, because they were too inferior to the commoners. And under normal circumstances, as long as the other party does not violate the rights of the slave owner too much (not the slave's rights, because the slave's rights are all stipulated by the master). Wounding or killing a slave has nothing to do with the slave himself, who has no control over his or her own freedom, but only violates the private property of the slave owner).
One of the reasons for this is that many of the outrageous behaviors that do not correspond to the status are not to blame the slave, but to the master. Because slaves themselves have no human rights, they are always responsible only to the slave owner.
A slave who has a good relationship with his master will not bear to let his master take responsibility.
Slaves who have a bad relationship with their masters and are extremely afraid of their masters are desperate to avoid this situation. After all, the master will punish her severely. If you are in a bad mood and want to kill her, you can only die honestly. There is no point in resisting. Because the magic of the slave contract cannot control any of the slave's thoughts (except for keeping the slave from revealing secrets that the master does not want her to tell), it can make the slave actually unable to resist with her body.
In fact, what slave would not obey his master when he made such a contract?
It is impossible to enter into such a contract without a state of complete domestication.
