Chapter 242: Freaking Stimulating
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“You…”
Shien wanted to ask Lasha about a few things regarding Leisha.
However, before Shien could even give voice to his questions, Lasha spoke up first.
“I know what Mister Shien wants to ask, but I must first remind you something. No matter what you ask, so long as it has to do with Lady Leisha, then I cannot speak of it even if I knew.” Lasha stared at Shien, “This has nothing to do with my personal will, but rather a basic function built into homunculi. I believe that Mister Shien will understand.”
When he heard Lasha’s statement, Shien swallowed the questions that was on his lips back down.
It’s because he had already remembered one of the most valued features of homunculi.
And that is the fact that they will not betray their master.
This was something feature that didn’t exist in the beginning.
Originally, when the demons created demonic beasts, demonic beasts didn’t have this feature on them. It even made it that low intelligence demonic beasts that haven’t gone through taming would not obey orders from demons at all. They may even turn vicious and bite back at their masters, which is why demons were forced to abandon controlling demonic beasts and instead allow them to live and breed in the mortal world, eventually becoming the most numerous beings around.
Having learned that lesson, all homunculi afterwards had a feature added into them, and that is absolute servitude and loyalty.
Much as Lasha had described, this doesn’t have anything to do with their personal thoughts, but is a basic functionality built into homunculi.
This is also one of the major differences distinguishing homunculi from demons and demonic beasts.
Simply put, a homunculus is a special life form created by magic that will absolutely not betray its creator.
As for the demonic beasts that were created way back, by now, they’ve already broken from the realm of magically created beings and have by now become completely natural lifeforms.
And Lasha is a true homunculus.
Thus, Lasha will absolutely not betray her master, Leisha. Not even if she really wanted to.
Thanks to that, homunculi are also unable to leak any secrets that relate to their master. This is true even if they were to be brainwashed or controlled by mental magic.
This is why so many demons and mages so greatly recommend the use of homunculi. It’s hard to pass up being able to absolutely trust in the homunculi they’ve created.
It’s to the point where many mages and even demons will spend a great amount of time and effort to gather valuable materials to create a homunculus to serve themselves.
Since a homunculus will absolutely not betray them, nor will they ever leak any of their creator’s secrets, it’s only natural that mages will put forth great efforts to create one to act as their absolutely trusted and capable assistants to serve beside them.
When he remembered this, Shien suddenly ended up realizing something.
“Perhaps the twin demons by Jacinta’s side are his own homunculi.”
How else could both of the twins be so talented to the point where both have reached level 88?
Those twins also seem extremely loyal to Jacinta too. They were even envious of Shien, who Jacinta looked well upon. This should also be because of their absolute loyalty to their master as homunculi, right?
Shien even started thinking of Nien.
“That goddess wouldn’t happen to be a homunculi that the Highest God Omnis created based on her own appearance, right?”
If that’s how it actually is, then Nien may very well know a number of secrets that the other gods won’t know of. Take the ability to summon the Hero on her own without causing any major side effects, for example.
And as for her not being known by any others, perhaps that’s because the Highest God Omnis has never told anyone of her existence?
The reason why she somewhat hates the Highest God Omnis then might be because her master had gone to sleep on her own and abandoned her?
Shien thought of all those various possibilities.
“No wonder why I’ve been seeing so many identical people…”
So all that aren’t coincidences then?
Shien felt like he might have grasped some truths.
At the same time, Shien had also understood why Lasha is now serving him.
“It’s because your master, Leisha’s, final orders before she left. You couldn’t refuse, and that’s why you’re now treating me like your master and serving me, huh?”
Shien gazed upon Lasha.
“Yes.” Lasha spoke impassively, “Lady Leisha told me to serve Mister Shien before she left. Thus, Mister Shien is my master for the time being, and I will serve you the same way that I served Lady Leisha.”
That’s the motivation behind Lasha’s actions.
Be it helping Shien change his clothes and completing his morning routines without him noticing or completely polishing up the entire Latrard home just like she did the Flowersong Mansion, all of it were things that Lasha did back when she was serving Leisha. Right now, she’s just doing the exact same thing as she had done before.
In that case then…
“Even if you say that you’re not my master and I have no need to go through such efforts, that’s still something that I cannot do. It’s because this was the orders that the master who created me gave, so I cannot refuse whether I’m willing or not.”
Lasha spoke of a reality that, to a certain degree, one cannot laugh at.
Shien didn’t know what to say at the moment as well.
After all, since that’s how it is, then no matter what Shien says, there’s still no way that Lasha could alter her behaviors.
She was only serving Shien due to the directions that Leisha left for her. Shien hasn’t actually become her master.
Thus, even if Shien were to tell her to stop, it’s not something she would be able to obey.
Being served by such a beautiful maid with all her efforts should logically be something to be happy about.
But this maid was only doing this because her original master’s orders that she cannot defy. This part doesn’t make him happy at all.
Of course, Shien didn’t see any particular unwillingness from Lasha either.
No, this maid seems to not have any emotions at all. She’s a kuudere big sis.
Faced with this kuudere maid, Shien had to ask one thing though.
“Then, will you obey my requests then?”
Shien at the very least wanted to confirm this point.
Lasha answered him.
“Until milady retrieves me, so long as it’s not something that can affect milady and it’s something within my capacity, I will obey any orders that Mister Shien gives.”
Lasha spoke such a statement without any hesitation whatsoever.
“… Anything?”
Shien was quiet for a second. Then, he couldn’t help but try to confirm it.
“Yes. Anything.”
Shien couldn’t help certain thoughts from entering his mind by now.
Especially since Lasha even said the following.
“So long as it’s within my capabilities, it’s fine no matter how excessive it is.”
There was no emotion on Lasha’s face.
“…”
Shien was lost for some time within a struggle that any man would understand.
It can’t be helped.
The other person already said it, you know?
She said that, alright?
Doesn’t that mean that he should do something a bit daring then?
Several thousand CG flashed through Shien’s mind, which nearly gave him a nosebleed.
That was seriously freaking stimulating.
