Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world

The kids were clamoring in delight as the Airship we rode left the Skyport. And of course, I'm happy too.

Riding an Airship in this world is completely different from the game. Right now, I can feel the breeze of wind, the vibrations as the Airship moves, the fear if I fall from this Airship, and I will say, all of this is completely different.

About this Airship?

First, the ship has two parts. The dark brown wooden ship is at the bottom while at the top there is a white Zeplin balloon.

The length of this Airship is over forty meters and approximately twenty-five meters in high including the Zeplin.

It has three floors, complete facilities including bathrooms, a defense system consisting of several Aether Cannons, and a stunning Magi-tech Engine at the back of the Airship.

"This Airship is impressive but it also makes me dizzy. I don't want to imagine how much money it would take to buy an Airship like this."

"Please, don't say something unreasonable. You know you'll never be able to buy an Airship like this," Ruciel said in a mocking tone. "Let's go to our cabin, I want to sleep."

I saw the girl, who is walking away while looking at a ticket in her hand.

"That girl... After she found out that the jerk had a connection with me, she changed and became more annoying than ever."

The girl's attitude sometimes made my lips and ears twitch.

"But she's going to change," I said confidently. "Why? Because I'm going to change her attitude."

Yes, that is right. In this seven days journey, I will mend our relationship and if possible, I want to make her fall in love with me.

I will make sure this will become reality.

I turned to look at the kids who is running around excitedly to see every corner of this Airship.

They're surely energetic.

"Kids! Stop running around and come here! Let's take our stuff to the cabin," I yelled at them.

They stopped and Kimi with Chloe shouted, "okay!" A moment later they followed me.

We went down the stairs in the middle of this Airship. Our goal is the second floor from above. We walked down the hallway and I followed the Ruciel's scent.

Yes, this is the fastest way to find my cabin. I'm sure that Fallen Elf girl already found it.

And I'm right, that girl's found my cabin. After opening the door with number 08 in it, I could see her lying on the bed with her arms covering her eyes.

As for the kids, their cabin is next to our cabin.

"Look, Chloe, this cabin is unique! Oh! Look at the beautiful view from the window here."

"You're right," said Chloe, who had just joined my sister who is standing behind the window.

"Do I have to have shared a room with them," Alan asked me. He made a reluctant expression.

"If you don't want to be with them, how about with me and Ruciel?"

As soon as I finished saying the question, Alan shook his head and said, "Sharing a room with Chloe and Kimi won't be a problem."

Alan went into his cabin and a moment later I went into my cabin.

I put down and organized my stuff. After I'm done, I intend to start my plan. The plan to make Ruciel fall for me.

"Ruciel, want to look around this Airship?"

"No, I'm tired. Let me sleep. Didn't you hear what I said earlier in the deck?"

One end of my lips twitched. A moment later, I sighed.

Okay, I'm wrong here. 

I may lose the fight but I won't lose the war!

I got out of the cabin and started looking around through this Airship. I want to find interesting places for me to show Ruciel later.

I spent a few tens of minutes and yes, I found some places that are interesting.

Ruciel must have woken up. With that sentence repeated in my head, I walked back to the cabin. And I never expected, Ruciel was still sleep when I got there.

I didn't want to wake the girl up so I waited. Night fell and she was still sleeping!

In the end, I gave up. 

I decided to go to bed after eating dinner with the kids. And yes, I didn't forget to take the food for Ruciel.

I'll say, that girl truly loves to sleep today.

The next day arrived. 

Once again, I want to mend my relationship with Ruciel. That's why I invited her to spend time together. However, she refused my invitation again. She prefers to stay in the cabin to read a book?

"Since when do you like to read books?"

"Since this morning," she replied nonchalantly. "Now, please shut up. I'm trying to enjoy my time reading this book."

"Grrr..."

I was angry, I tried to take her out of the cabin but she kicked me out instead! She said I was annoying and too noisy. What's worse, she even locked the door and didn't want to open it at all when I ask it.

The door only opened when night fell.

Yes... Ruciel slept well when I got in.

"Ugh, how could she dwell in this cabin all day long without eating and the need to use the bathroom?"

With an unanswered question, I slept.

The next day, Ruciel disappeared.

I tried to find her by relying on my sense of smell but I didn't succeed. I couldn't find her scent at all.

"Did she use an item to hide her scent?" I wondered as I searched for that girl.

I tried hard and I failed. 

I couldn't find Ruciel at all. 

She showed herself when the night arrived.

She slept without giving answers to my questions.

The next day, I managed to catch Ruciel before she woke up. I invite her or much more I force her to accompany me.

And as the result, the girl was completely indifferent, and often, she put on an irritated expression.

Then, she became so weird when we had lunch at the cafeteria. The girl was sitting on the floor next to the table I had chosen.

"What are you doing?" I asked for an explanation from her.

"You don't know?" She asked back and I kept silent. I'm still waiting for her explanation. 

A moment later, she sighed. "This is the right way for a Slave to accompany their Master to eat."

"You're making it up. The jerk was the worst but he never told me to do something like that. Now, sit in the chair as usual."

She was silent for a while and then...

"I can't fulfill that request, I don't want to embarrass you in front of these people. And look," Ruciel moved his chin to point somewhere.

I turned my head and I saw, a slave woman sitting on the floor just like Ruciel did. A man who might be her owner sits in the chair just like me.

I shook my head and ignored the Slaveowner who looked at me with hostility. I look back at Ruciel.

"I don't care what other people do. Sit in a chair, now."

The words I say can be considered an order for a slave. But no, it's not. If I truly want to give an order to Ruciel, I do need "this is an order" "I ordered" or something like that in my words.

"I can't, I don't want to embarrass you."

"Don't be unreasonable, Ruciel!" I snapped. Again and again, she made me angry.

Why does she always makes an absurd bond when I want to have a normal relationship with her?

"This is not an outrageous thing. It's normal for a slave," she gave me an explanation but...

"I can't stand this anymore!" I screamed. "Now, I ordered-"

"I'M THE ONE WHO SAYS I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE."

A loud shout interrupt my words, it also made my fox ears stand up straight.

Curious, I turned to the source of the scream. There, I saw the slave-owning man giving me an angry expression. A moment later he leave his table to approach me.

"Why do you treat a slave as a human being? They're a thing, an item! So you should treat them like an item!" The man was yelling at me.

And yes, the thing he did surprise me. I blinked my eyes while my fox's ears twitched.

"Ruciel not an item, she was someone who meant something to me. That's why I respect her," I explained.

And for some reason, the man's face was getting reddened.

"Slave is garbage! They are failed human beings! You don't have to respect them!"

This guy truly doesn't make any sense. Why is he angry at me for unclear reasons? What's his problem?

"Listen, sir, how I treat my Slave is none of your business. If you don't like it, you can walk away and don't have to see it," I explained and...

PLAK!

The man slapped me on the cheek for no reason.

"I taught you what you have to do young girl! Don't argue and just obey what I say!"

Taught me a lesson? Nonsense! You came in with a fit of unclear anger and then hit me for no reason! Now, you make me angry!

"[Appraisal]" I whispered.

Thank God he's neither strong nor noble.  So... I stood up and moved my arm to punch the man in the face. 

"GEBUH!" The man made a strange noise and was thrown as far as… maybe three meters? Well… I don't know, I don't care.

And yes, even though I was angry, I still remembered to hold back my strength.

I don't want to kill that man accidentally.

The man who was now lying down made an expression of disbelief and looked at me with inflated anger. He opened his mouth trying to say something but unfortunately for him, I grabbed his jaws to silence his mouth.

The speed I have should not be underestimated.

"Look me in the eye," I said and looked the man in the eye. When he saw my eyes, I said, "[Charm]"

Seconds passed, the man was now under my control. I took my hand off his jaws and took one step back.

I saw the man who was now dazed. In this episode, I used Mana for Charm more than I should have. And this makes the Charm effect last longer. I predicted the man will regain his sanity after seven days.

Now!

"Please sir, don't bother me anymore and ever again. You can go to the corner of the room and act like a dog there."

"All right."

"You're a dog, remember?"

"Woof!"

"Good! Now, get lost."

The man ran to the corner of the room using his hands and feet. As for me, I'm back at my table. And yes, people look at me but they turn their eyes away after I give them my furious glare.

My business with Ruciel is not done!
