Prologue
It was love at first sight in the middle of the night.
A blonde girl with long, pointed ears moored to the fence at the entrance of the tavern.
The girl was tied to a thick chain that stretched from a heavy collar and a short chain that connected her legs, restricting her movement and exposing her to the world as a spectacle.
As she sat there, looking as if she had been thrown out of the world, it was immediately clear that she was an elf, not a human, and that her status was that of a slave.
The wooden price tag hanging from her neck was faded and the price could not be read clearly. The black marks smeared on the wood were probably dried blood. I think the girl herself had scraped it off with her fingernails. At the very least, this girl has not accepted being a slave.
In the darkness, the black-haired boy, Mars, could see the girl's golden hair fluttering in the night breeze like a beautiful moon.
The proportions of the girl's body were perfect, and her face was so well-formed that it looked like a doll.
The clear, white skin is stained with mud and dirt, and I suspect that she has not been bathed well.
The girl's ice-blue eyes had no light in them, and they drifted through the air with a blank, empty gaze, looking nowhere.
The girl's price, according to the number of digits written on the price tag, is enough to buy a couple of decent houses. However, the price was not important to Mars.
The moment he saw the girl, dressed only in dirty clothes the color of a burlap sack, his heart and fate might have been decided.
「If you don't mind, would you like to come with me?」
「......」
Malus approached and called out to her gently. The girl did not answer but only raised her face to look at Mars.
The girl's eyes, which said nothing, seemed to be telling Mars to help her.
「Come with me. Let's live together from now on. I'm alone, too.」
Mars stretched out his hand and smiled broadly.
Lilia, an elf girl who saw Mars' face, which looked like he was crying even though he was smiling, nodded her head and gently touched Mars' outstretched hand.
Thus, one and one with the same eyes became two.
