Chapter 192 – Bottom of Despair
Humans are social animals.
In the process of human growth, communication and social experience are indispensable.
No matter how high level of education Leru is, she has an intelligence superior to others, but…
She has been confined in her room for 20 years without talking to others, and has become a doll unable to speak or express emotions.
“Ha…”
Her impatience caused the experiment to be carried out without prior investigation.
Roosevelt felt her regret for the past she could not return to, but once she started the experiment she couldn’t stop halfway through.
Now, the last resort left to him was really only Leru.
“Leru. Hold on for one more day, okay? After that, you’re free.”
“Oooh…”
A day in a room with no exit.
One year for Leru.
During that year, Roosevelt instilled in her knowledge of all the magical knowledge she knew, the affairs of the garden, and the relationship between pets and their masters.
She also did not skimp on her training in basic communication and emotional expression.
When Roosevelt entered the room again after a day, he saw Leru’s matured appearance and admired her.
“Hello..!”
“Yes. Hello.”
Leru spoke human language properly and expressed her emotions with a refreshing smile.
Although the method was twisted, in the end the experiment was a great success.
But…
Again, there was one fact that Roosevelt overlooked.
The fact that Leru is a person with a ‘self’.
“Master..!”
“Uh?”
In the meantime, she had been educating Roosevelt as her father, but for some reason she used the title of master and bowed down on her face.
Not wanting something like this, he grabbed Leru by the shoulder with her bewildered eyes.
“Why is that, Master?”
“Leru. I’m not your master. I’m your dad. Call me dad.”
“Yes? But I’m the owner’s pet, right?”
“What..? Who said that?”
I’ve never been taught anything like that.
Leru was to become the garden’s No. 2 magician in the future, and she was to help Roosevel with chores as a reliable helper.
As such, she had never been trained as a pet, and it was no wonder that Roosevelt reacted with surprise at her out-of-the-box remark.
“Yeah… My mother’s a pet, right?”
“Uh…? Right. Laysha is a pet, but you’re not.”
“Why? She was taught that if a mother is a pet, then she is also a pet.”
Leru skillfully opened a hologram window with magic and performed the [Garden’s Affairs], Which was provided as audio-visual material.
She found and showed the sentence, “As in ancient times, children born to slaves become slaves, so children born to pets in her garden become pets.”
“Yes. That’s right. It’s true that a pet’s offspring becomes a pet, but that’s the general case. You, Leru, are an exception.”
“An exception… Is it…?”
“Okay.”
Leru tilted her head with an expression that she didn’t quite understand.
“I don’t know yet… Yes. I get it. Then what am I?”
“You’re not going to be a pet, but you’ll become an excellent garden wizard. You can think of it as an equal relationship with me. Also, call me Dad and Laysha, Mom.”
“…Your father.”
Leru, whose emotional development was not working properly, had to input commands like a computer to make it work properly.
Although it was very clumsy, Roosevel, who judged that the experiment was successful at this level, went up to the ground with Leru.
“I’ll stay here with you from now on, Leru.”
“Your father.”
I took the elevator and entered Roosevelt’s house.
Leru tilted her head as she touched unfamiliar objects she had never seen before.
I don’t know how to use it, and I don’t know how to use it.
She simply ignorantly looked around her room, thinking things like nice touch, soft, smooth.
In the meantime, Roosevelt brought a file related to Leru from her study.
“Lelue, from now on I will gather information about you and report it to the superiors.”
“Information?”
“Yes. Are you close to being a TS woman or a real woman? How is your health, is it possible to get pregnant? Let’s hurry up a bit because we have to do other personality tests and IQ tests. I have to show you something within this week so that you and I can live happily ever after. .”
“Happiness..? Yes, I understand, Dad.”
“Then, would you like to sit on the sofa and close your eyes first?”
Leru, who didn’t know what a sofa was, kindly pointed out her finger.
She obediently lay back on her sofa and placed her hands on her navel.
“Then I’ll start. Even if it’s slightly unpleasant or painful… Will you bear it?”
“Your father.”
Summoning her various instruments, Roosevelt first took her plantain in her hand.
She didn’t want to do this to Leru, but…
It is a must for the garden.
After organizing her thoughts, he calmed her down and started measuring Leru’s body.
***
Left unattended in her room with no exit, Laysha spent the rest of the day curled up in the corner of her room, pouring out her tears profusely.
“Huh, huh…”
The more I think of Roosevelt.
The more she thinks of Leru, who was taken away as soon as she was born.
Her tears covered her eyes, making it impossible for her to lead a normal life.
For several days, Laysha stopped eating and sleeping.
In that way, she expresses her resistance in her own way, but…
Roosevelt, whose attention was focused on Leru, paid no attention to what she was doing in her room.
“Sir uh…”
If…
No way…
Wouldn’t she be abandoned for the rest of her life like this?
Laysha, whose greatest fear in the world was indifference, rose from her curls and climbed onto her bed.
She searched every corner of the ceiling for the invisible camera.
“I’m the owner! Are you watching?! Hehe, I’m fine now… Because I’m fine… So please show up… Hehe…! I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life!!”
Ley Sha’s heart, which she had vowed to rebel against, was shattered in a matter of days.
She endured, and she now realized that even if she endured, she would lose herself.
“Master…!
Roosevelt, who had completed Leru’s examination at just the right time, entered her room, as if a crying voice had been heard.
“Master..!”
“Laysha. How are you?”
“Yes..! But, who is next to…”
A platinum-haired girl who looked just like Laysha was standing next to the master.
Her eyes and hair color were the same, but her breasts were meager in size and she had a slender figure overall.
The girl, wearing an open-shoulder dress with long frills, maintained a chilling expressionless expression.
“Laysha. Isn’t it too much not recognizing your child?”
“Yes..?”
The last thing Laysha remembered about Leru was a bright red lump of blood that hadn’t drained since she was born right away.
It was strange not to be surprised, since the gore came as an adult in just a few days.
“Is this… Leru…?”
Laysha involuntarily extended her finger and pointed at Leru.
She trembled her limbs with an expression as if she were looking at a monster, then realized that her master’s words were true and held Leru tightly in her arms.
“I missed you!
“Yes. Leru is Laysha and my family, right? I have no intention of letting her go. I’ll do some work for a while, so we should be close to each other, right?”
Even after Master left the room, Leisha held Leru in her arms and did not let go.
There was nothing more gratifying than getting her lost child back.
“Huh, okay… I’ll be with you for the rest of my life…! I won’t give it to anyone…!”
Leisha, with a smile on her face, rubbed Leru’s unresponsive face cheek to cheek.
It smelled of flowers that calmed her mind and made her feel good.
“Mom.”
“Uh..! Mom, Mom.”
Le Lu, who had been silently embraced by her, finally spoke her first words.
Leisha looked at Leru, shedding tears of emotion.
“Would you like to quit now?”
“Uh?”
“On the subject of pets.”
Leru’s cold words, showing no emotion at all.
“Air..?”
Laysha, in her shock, tripped over her step backwards and tripped her, knocking her on the buttock.
“Le, leru… What does that mean…?”
“Your mother is a pet, right? I’ve become a wizard equal to my father. So if you’re a pet, you should act like a pet. You’re too arrogant.”
“Th-That’s… Hehe…”
She had no feelings of ‘love’ or ‘affection’ for Leru, who had been imprisoned for 20 years.
Her only knowledge injected into her head was the driving force that made her move, and the master-servant relationship she remembered with her pet was the same as that of parent-child.
Laysha is aware of the existence of a ‘mother’ to be respected, but…
As long as Leisha was her pet, Leru intended to treat her badly.
Because she was born and raised in such a terrible environment.
Because she has never experienced the society outside and she has been confined to a room with no exit for 20 years.
Leru took this situation for granted and she had no questions about it.
“Then respect me, Mom.”
“That, like that…”
“Will you get scolded if I reply?”
“Huh..!”
Roosevelt’s cruelty was superimposed on Leru’s expressionless face.
Intimidated by her own daughter, Leysha instinctively knelt down on her knees and bowed her head.
“I-I’m sorry, Leru-sama…”
“Yes, Mom. It’s enough if you know.”
Leru smiled for the first time.
The bliss she can feel in her subconscious, even when she has no feelings for her.
“Huh…”
Leysha swallowed her tears, feeling her humiliation at her own miserable life.
