~Chapter 8~
Just then, the system popped up.
“Divine Tamer” effect activated! (Chance: 9.8%)
The target will obey your commands.
“…Huh?”
So there’s a bonus effect like this?
That must be why Lysian immediately went into attention posture when I spoke.
9.8% is low, but in the right situation, it could be really useful.
I decided to test it and gave him a command.
“Lysian, relax from attention and go sit on the bed.”
He stood blankly for a moment, then relaxed and nodded.
He obediently walked to the bed and sat down, but this time, no system notification appeared.
No notification means the effect didn’t trigger, I guess.
Lysian, now calm, looked up at me with a curious expression.
“Just now… it felt strange. When you said ‘Attention!’, it was like invisible chains gripped me…”
His cheeks flushed red, and he shyly lowered his eyes.
“But… it felt good.”
Ding!
Target’s affection toward you increased!
????♥
…Speechless. This guy is a real pervert.
I think Ninabel has a good eye for people. Though, whether he’s even human is another question.
One thing’s certain—he’s definitely a pervert.
And I just happened to pick up a pervert…
I gave him another command.
“Stand up and say to Ninny, ‘I’m sorry for teasing you.’”
“…!”
Lysian flinched slightly, then awkwardly stood and faced Ninabel.
“I’m sorry for teasing you?”
Technically, that counts as an apology, even with the question mark.
“Divine Tamer” effect activated! (Chance: 9.8%)
The target will obey your commands.
Of course.
That one just triggered.
If he wasn’t acting under the effect, his movements would’ve been more natural.
“Is that an apology? That’s your apology, huh?! Apologize properly, you brat!”
“I’m really sorry for teasing you?”
“It’s a question!”
I tried about ten more commands, but only the first two worked. Yep, too low a chance.
Even if it’s temporary, now that Lysian is officially part of the farm, some preparations are needed.
First: setting rules.
A crazy guy on a leash is easier to handle than a wild one.
I sat Lysian in front of me, placing my hands on my hips, and spoke firmly.
“If you’re going to stay on this farm, there are a few rules you need to follow.”
“Yes, please tell me, Master.”
“…Can you not call me ‘Master’?”
“That’s difficult… How could I dare call my master by name?”
Sigh… talking to this lunatic makes my brain spin.
But this is exactly when I need to stay sharp. He’s cunning, like a fox.
I cleared my throat and began.
“First, you must obey my commands unconditionally.”
“Oh, that’s easy…”
He smiled faintly, tilting his head.
“Of course, whose command would I not obey?”
His cotton-soft platinum hair swayed gently.
“…Second, don’t cause trouble when I’m not watching.”
“Does that mean it’s okay if you’re watching?”
“No, just don’t cause any trouble. No accidents, no mischief.”
“Understood, Master. Don’t worry. I’ll obey.”
…Not buying it. I’d trust a stubborn rabbit more than him.
I sighed deeply and continued.
“Third, never harm me physically or try to kill me.”
“…?”
Lysian blinked, confused.
A few seconds later, he spoke.
“I wouldn’t ever harm you, Master. Don’t you trust me?”
…Would you?
A strange man appears in a contaminated area, claims he lost his memory, and immediately calls me ‘Master.’
Everything about his loyalty, his irrational closeness—was all the result of the taming skill.
Once that skill is lifted, who knows what could happen?
Right now, he gazes at me like a devoted follower, but he could turn completely cold once he regains clarity.
So… I won’t get attached. Not risking it.
“Lysian. You’ve lost your memory. You don’t remember who you are or why you ended up here, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then don’t rely on me too much. Think for yourself and try to regain your memory quickly.”
Lysian immediately looked sullen.
“That hurts my feelings…”
“See…? You’re in a taming skill state. You’re not thinking normally. That ‘hurt’ you feel is fake.”
“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”
“….”
“If you want, I don’t mind if you sleep in the storage. This house is small for two people anyway.”
“No, I—”
I hesitated mid-argument. He was right. One bed, tight space, awkward for changing and bathing…
But putting someone in the storage feels like a violation of human rights!
Ding!
New perk received!
▶Tap to view
“…Huh?”
Bad timing, but I was curious. Pretending to ponder, I tapped the screen.
Fireworks burst as the popup appeared.
Congratulations!
☆My Sweet Home☆ perk acquired!
Now you can upgrade your living space with system assistance.
〈Tomorrow’s House〉 shop is open.
Collect coins to buy various furniture♡
“…Wow.”
I couldn’t help but be impressed.
One thing is clear: the system is spoiling me…!
You really want me to change fate, huh?
(ﾉ´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩)ﾉ
…Positive?
Since it’s a smiley, let’s say yes.
So, how do I upgrade the house?
The system promptly displayed a new screen.
Quest Activated! <Upgrade Your Living Space!>
Your current home is too small for a new member.
Expand the space and arrange new furniture.
Required resource: uncontaminated firewood (0/100)
Success reward: 3,000 coins
Failure penalty: none
3,000 coins?
My heart raced. That’s enough to splurge on all the shop items I’d been eyeing!
Expand the space and arrange new furniture!
“….”
Ah, buy furniture. My excitement deflated. Right, furniture: another bed, a table, chairs…
…So I can live comfortably with this mysterious bundle of chaos…!
Wait, is he really a burden?
I spun around and examined Lysian thoroughly, head to toe.
“Um, Master…?”
Shy, hands neatly together, trying to appear modest—but he was…
Physique that could lift a man, overwhelming strength that would make the male lead cry.
Yes.
Required resource: uncontaminated firewood (0/100)
Perfect for farming tasks…!
I strode over and stood before him, placing a hand on his broad shoulders.
“You said you’d repay me with your body, right?”
“Yes, but… it’s morning… Of course, if you wish, I can—”
“What nonsense? Stop talking and go to the forest.”
“…Yes?”
“Use your strength.”
Chop some wood for me.
