After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

However, she is also his partner.

He is also my only support in this world, the only person I can trust.

(Um... that's all for today, I'm really sleepy...)

Thinking about complicated things,

Lonnies slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

……

I don't know how much time has passed.

Lornish felt as if she were slowly having a dream.

In my dream, the sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew across the lush meadow.

Back then, I think I was still a boy. I was wearing armor and a sword, and it seemed like I was going to do something—oh, right, become a hero and go and defeat the slimes that were threatening the farmland.

Originally, I would have disdained to undertake such a task.

After all, slimes are too weak and don't deserve to be opponents.

however……

"What? Because you don't have the money to hire adventurers?"

"Yes, yes... the only reward I can offer is cheese..."

Although it's frustrating not to get paid, who told me I'm the hero who saves the world?

Since you're a hero, you must do things that others can't... even if there's no reward!

So he nodded and said to the villagers with great confidence:

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Lornes didn't know why she had such a dream.

Perhaps it's because I really miss that kind of overpowered protagonist life?

With just a slight movement of your fingers, you can attract envious glances from others; that feeling is truly delightful!

Unlike now...

"Lonnies, if you wake up an hour later than your master, you'll be punished."

"what?"

"Besides, are you always this unladylike when you sleep? It seems you won't learn how to behave like a girl unless you're properly disciplined."

"Uh!"

Lonnie then noticed that she was lying flat on the bed just like a boy... and her skirt was lifted up, revealing her white panties underneath.

"Waaaaah!"

A wave of shame washed over her, and Lonnie quickly closed her legs.

However, she soon realized that something was wrong.

Yesterday I was sleeping on the rocks, but now I'm in bed.

"Stop looking around. We've already used the teleportation device to leave the upper hall."

Elusia still looked like a little girl; even when she stood by the bed, only her tiny head could peek out.

"We're currently in the Dragonbone Mountains, a thousand miles away... but this isn't a safe place, you know~"

"what?"

"So, I'm warning you. If you keep running around like before, I won't be able to protect you... You'll be dragged back to the lair by the cruel bone dragons and have your tendons ripped out and your skin peeled off!"

"The lair of the bone dragon?"

"But even so, you will not die. New skin will grow on your body, and you will be skinned alive again... They will find you to be excellent livestock, lock you in a dark and sunless cage, and torture you forever!"

"Waaaaaah!!!!"

Lonnies wasn't timid, but Elusia's description was just too terrifying.

Having already endured brutal torture, the silver-haired girl absolutely does not want to experience it a second time.

Compared to her, although Elusia also bullied him, she could already be considered an "angel".

"Okay, good to know. So, to keep you from getting lost, and to show off my status as your master, you can wear this collar."

"A collar?"

Lonnies was dumbfounded when she saw the collar that Elusia handed her.

This choker, though resembling a fine work of art, is decorated with numerous lace trims and entwined with many girlish ribbons.

However, the collar's interface was locked with a small lock, meaning that without a key, one would definitely not be able to unlock it.

Not to mention, a metal chain, symbolizing servility, was attached to the collar.

If I put it on myself...

It looks exactly like a pet kept by Elusia.

"This...this kind of thing..."

Lornes blushed. Although she was somewhat lustful, she had never thought of putting a collar on her partner.

But the current situation is that if I don't put it on myself...

"If you don't listen, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"what?"

"I was going to take you to the restroom, but if you keep disobeying... hmph~"

Although her body has turned into a little girl, Elusia's appearance is still the same as when she was a young girl, full of an undeniable majesty.

For Lorne, being collared was better than the torment of not being able to use the toilet.

So, despite her reluctance, the girl could only grip the collar tightly with her index finger and put it around her neck.

(How embarrassing...)

With the click of the small metal lock closing, Lonnie closed her eyes shyly.

But unlike what she had imagined, the pure white choker, while somewhat restricting her breathing, did not cause much discomfort when worn around her neck.

On the contrary, this inch of skin felt as if it were being protected, slightly itchy, and very reassuring.

……

"Hmm, not bad, that's more like what a slave maid should look like."

"Waaah..."

"Alright, let's go."

"Where are we going...?"

"Saving the world, that's our mission."

"Save...save the world?!"

Lonnie was taken aback; she hadn't expected to hear such words from Elusia.

"Have you lost your mind? If you're not going to save the world, what do you want to do after being resurrected... accept my training and torture?"

"Uh……"

Lornish was embarrassed to admit it, but that's really what she thought... After all, so much had happened recently that she had long forgotten her original intention of saving the world:

"Now that I've become like this, can I still... save the world?"

"Of course not, so you need my leader."

"Uh?!"

"To be precise, because you set yourself up to be too weak... I, as your partner, have become very strong. Your job is to warm my bed, give me massages, and cook for me every day. Accept my teasing, provide me with eye candy every day, and become my dress-up doll!"

"Woooo..."

Every word Elusia spoke felt like a trial, making Lonnie want to cry.

She did have these ideas, which is why she designed the silver-haired girl's body like this... but she never expected that the roles would be reversed.

Moreover, this little black-haired girl has a fiercer personality than the boys, and she will bully me at the slightest provocation.

"Did you hear that? If you did, bark once."

"This...this kind of thing..."

"Looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet. Well then, you're not allowed to go to the bathroom until tonight. Hehe, I really love looking at pretty girls, and I can't help but spit it out~!"

"Woof...Woof!"

After saying that, Lorne's face turned ashen.

She knew that no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape the clutches of this little girl.

(Just how badly will I be treated?)

"Isn't this a good boy? Little dog, come with me on the way."

"Uh……"

And so, led by a collar, Lonnie followed Elusia's figure, walking upwards.

The environment here is very similar to the previous underground laboratory; it is still dilapidated, and even the stairs have been worn smooth by time.
