Chapter 107 - Another Problem Solved
The questions given by Monika contained some sensitive questions regarding the main reason why Earl Timoti's family moved under the orders of Marquess Rommel's family to concerns about the war between noble factions.
The professional question also referred to my relationship with Saintess Hana and the other Saintesses.
The answer I gave was a universal answer that had many meanings in each word. It could refer to me being a Saintess or me being their close friend who helped each other.
An answer like that was more than enough to give me a free space without involving myself with Monika's curiosity any further.
"Then, we will jump to the next question. In this question, I just want to make sure that the magic used by Lily-sama does not interfere with security and privacy. Especially with the moving viewpoint display like this. May I know what magic is this?" asked Monika while directing her gaze at the Soul Tame magic that was showing various viewpoints from the stealth slime herd.
"Are you that curious about this magic?" I asked while stroking my hair which had stiffened from the winter night wind.
"..." Monika waited patiently for my answer while shaking her magic pen to write my answer.
With her small nod, I told her a simple understanding of magic that was easy to use for writing the report she was working on.
"The magic you saw was an original magic that came from the Great Heroes in the past. A magic that allows you to share communication with monsters that have been forcibly tamed through the Soul Tame magic chant. To complete your report, you should at least seek a more detailed explanation from magic experts who understand how to use Soul Tame magic," I said while showing the basic formula of Soul Tame magic that was not too complex.
Swwiisshh...
"Soul Tame magic chant?" Monika looked like she didn't know what I was talking about but her hands professionally wrote down the answer I gave her on her military report.
"Does that mean Lily-sama can control a herd of stealth slimes that have been trapped by the Soul Tame magic chant?" Monika asked further and stopped her movement while writing her report.
"I don't know if they can be freely controlled or not, want to see me try to control you?" I replied while throwing a small smile that tried to play around with this interview question.
While I threw my small smile, I just closed my eyes and poured a small amount of magic energy that began to widen the basic magic formation of Soul Tame.
"Oh, did I forget to say that this Soul Tame magic chant can be used on humans too?" I said while opening my eyes and stared at Monika cynically.
"If I consider you as one of my pets, then this Soul Tame magic will immediately activate and make you one of the pets that can pass on your vision to me," while saying that sentence, I immediately enlarged my magic energy that was maintaining the basic magic formation of Soul Tame and directed it at Monika.
Monika who had heard this surprisingly took a step back from me and gave a very interesting facial expression to see directly.
The facial expression shown by Monika was the facial expression of a woman who was not ready would submit to someone's orders by force and fear.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you taking a step back from me?" I said further while staring sharply at Monika who was filled with fear after her question got a satisfactory answer from me.
"Are you afraid that I will start to think of you as my pet and accidentally release this Soul Tame magic spell on you?" by playing the basic magic formation of Soul Tame that had been formed, I used the magic spell a little to play with Monika's facial expression which looked funny.
In that little game, Noel suddenly walked toward Monika and gave me a smile that made my body shiver.
"Master Lily, if this girl refuses to be your pet. Shouldn't you care more about the woman who is willing to be your pet?" Noel asked while looking at me with her behavior that seemed to indicate something.
The question given by Noel had made me shiver and my heart beat fast. Her nature was starting to show signs of danger in her pupils who stared at me with full dedication and obedience.
I swallowed my saliva and tried to hide my body that was shaking like this.
If only my Goddess had seen this incident, maybe I would have gotten a Yurification Quest that made me do embarrassing things together with Noel.
[ That seems like an interesting idea, Lily-chan! ]
"Urk!" I unconsciously said that.
This bad thought was suddenly heard by my Goddess and my head felt a pain that made my body shiver greatly when I felt it.
Oh, my Goddess, please don't make me do strange things in a public space like this.
I know that Noel has her interest in submitting and obeying me.
So, please help me who is trying to act normally without satisfying Noel's hidden desires that are always strange in my eyes.
[ Isn't that better? ]
[ Making Noel accept her overly obedient and submissive attitude will make Lily-chan a loyal ally who won't betray Lily-chan. ]
[ Isn't that a good thing for Lily-chan? ]
"Guh!" I started to grumble in a small tone without changing my attitude like a cold-blooded noblegirl.
"Aren't you already one of my pets, Noel?" I said to prevent myself from getting a Yurification Quest that was much more embarrassing than Noel's proud words.
While puffing out her big breasts towards me and her thick maid uniform coat in the winter, Noel looked at me once again with pride after I acknowledged her as one of my pets.
"Aahh... My master really acknowledged me as her pet," Noel sighed softly with her body shaking until it caught Monika's attention.
Monika who saw this also let out a surprised expression that did not expect me to be able to look at someone as a pet.
"I-I apologize if this interview question offends Lily-sama," Monika started to walk one step back and bowed her body as a sign of respect to me.
"I-I beg you... please give me some time to get to know Lily-sama more before becoming Lily-sama's pet..." While saying that sentence and bowing her body, Monika looked like she was holding back her heavy breath and a blush filled her face.
"Haahh... Ahhh... Becoming Lily-sama's pet," Monika's small mumble was heard clearly in my ears.
"It must be so much fun to make everyone jealous of me..."
"Ahh... Having a great owner like Lily-sama. It seems like I have to study harder to become a pet that will fulfill my owner's wishes every time..."
"Aaahh... Lily-sama..."
I listened to every detail of Monika's mumbling.
When Monika came forward again and stood beside Noel, I could now see two women who had the same idea to become my pet.
"Ugh, this is making my head spin," I muttered after seeing them both having the same idea.
Queen Victoria, Noel, and Monika.
Now I have three pets who are of the same race as me as fellow humans!
This isn't too crazy for me to do, right?
I don't want someone to look at me like a mean girl who sees a human as my pet!
What should I do now?
Oh my Goddess, do you have any suggestions on what I should do to deal with these weirdos who like to be my pets?
When I was about to ask my Goddess for a solution, I suddenly heard a voice coming from my Goddess who seemed annoyed with them.
[ GAAHH!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY! ]
[ BECOMING LILY CHAN'S PET?! ]
[ I'M SO ENVIOUS OF THEM!! ]
[ DAMN YOU ALL!! ]
I suddenly heard my Goddess's voice which was so pathetic and disgusting to hear.
My eyesight and the voice that echoed in my mind were now divided into two parts.
And it's no different from their disgust desire!
Why are they so enthusiastic about being my pets?
What's wrong with me?
"Ahem! Are there any other questions?" I asked Monika who was daydreaming about herself becoming my pet with her mumbling voice that was audible.
By forcing myself to act cold and look normal, I tried to make myself who was starting to tremble with disgust and goosebumps at their attitude became calmer.
Monika and Noel who had been standing next to each other began to look at me with eyes that had other intentions and purposes.
Noel looked at me like a master who had owned her while Monika looked at me like a pet who was trying to get to know her owner.
That made my disgust even worse and tried to get rid of that gaze by taking another question to complete the military report of Earl Timoti's family.
"Ah! That's right! I guess I was a little immersed in a situation that made me happy when I imagined it," said Monika while fixing her appearance by standing up straight.
"Guh!" reflexively, I let out a small mutter and held myself back to stay calm.
"Why does this strange thing always happen to me?" I muttered a little while paying attention to Sebastian who had returned with the supplies for the evening tea party that my mother had ordered.
"Hey, isn't this interview question more than enough? You can gather information from other parties like..." With my glance fixed on stealth slime number forty-seven, I tried to throw this responsibility to her.
Stealth slime number forty-seven seemed to have completed her little training to survive the light interrogation that my mother had given her.

Her pale facial expression and strange fluid that looked like sweat from her slime body had filled her human face.
Oh, my Mother, what have you done to that poor stealth slime that looks like it has a heavy burden like facing a human life filled with a problems?
Traakkk... Traakkk...
When Monika's attention was diverted by the sound of Sebastian's trolley heading towards my Mother, it allowed stealth slime number forty-seven to move freely and step towards me.
"Supreme Commander, I have completed the task you gave me by surviving the questions that interrogated me," said stealth slime number forty-seven with a wide smile on her face.
"Oh, you've come back alive?" I replied, accidentally saying a sentence that sounded cold to her.
"Yes, I have come back alive from the interrogation that made me have nightmares every night because of my guilt for making my Supreme Commander's residence a mess like that."
"You don't need to worry, you just need to clean the dirty room and fix the broken things, right?" I replied with a smile towards stealth slime number forty-seven.
"..." Stealth slime number forty-seven lowered her head after realizing her guilt for making my residence bad because it was used by the stealth slime herd that was trying to fight back against the Golden King Bear herd.
"I understand, Supreme Commander."
"We will be responsible for cleaning and repairing your residence."
Getting such an answer, I couldn't help but smile happily.
One complicated and heavy job will be completed by the stealth slime herd.
I like this kind of work system!
