Because of this, a sense of shame came upon me.

However, it was only right to get this done and over with

"I'm thinking of doing some tests..."

"Sure... I'm looking forward to it." Kasugano had an expectant look as she spoke. One might even say she was overjoyed.

"I don't harbor any negative feelings towards you."

"Yes, I know you are punishing me, only because you care about me."

"You can't call it a punishment, but how you take it is up to you... First of all, you won't be able to breathe from now on."

With widened eyes, Kasugano stared at me. With her stoic expression, 1 wondered if she had been scamming me all along.

However, I realized my mistake as I heard her voice again.

"You must speak with magic."

I felt embarrassed at this point. The shaman opened her mouth once again, and I saw her trying to breathe in.

"You won't be able to breathe."

A lot of my mana was used up in an instant.

I couldn't even imagine that so much magic would escape, but it was a cheap price for taking full control over another's body. I hadn't even noticed that I was frowning.

The figure currently holding her neck and coughing was certainly not acting. As Kasugano rolled on the floor, stretching her hand towards me, I could tell how hard my order had been for her.

"Mas... Master... Cough..."

Against her will, air refused to enter her lungs, hence her struggle. Tears naturally flowed down her eyes, and her tongue had rolled out, craving for oxygen.

It would be a shame for her to die here.

"You may breathe from now on."

And so, I ended the test.

With this, I could affirm that the contract between us had finally set.

After Kasugano regained her breathing, she spoke once more.

"T-Thank you. Master."

I wasn't sure why she was thanking me, but at least the spell was complete.

'And so perfectly done...'

If there was one penalty after all this, it would be that I had to take responsibility for Kasugano from now one.

'However, it should be fine.'

If I had seen the scene just before the incantation, I wouldn't have even bothered doing the test. I didn't even know why I had seen it in the first place, but I didn't think it was because of the incantation itself. It was probably an occurring error during the connection of body and soul.

As I lifted her from the floor, I saw her looking at me with joy plastered on that innocent expression. Upon seeing this, my guilt came back.

I'll be nice to her from now on.'

I know that I did something worse that had surpassed my actions the first time around. It felt like I had personally quided an innocent soul into the depths of hell.

After seeing her expression in the black world, I felt even worse for her.

'Fuck...

However, it was a reasonable choice, and the result wasn't bad, either. Kasugano looked happy with what had transpired, so it was probably a win
