When I Was Reincarnated, I Got the Skills [Slave Command] and [Recovery], so I Created a Secret Society for Slaves Just for Fun - Chapter 5 - Sense of Guilt

Chapter 5 – Sense of Guilt

Truthfully, I think that the [Slave Command] and [Recovery] skills are quite useful skills, even though they are treated as incompetent skills in this world. Without knowing this, the priestess, who had no knowledge of it, started sweating and trembling nervously. Then, as if her complexion had changed, she left the room and ran to my parents with a sense of urgency.

“Lawrence-chan!”

“Lawrence!!”

“L-Lawrence!!”

After whatever explanation was given by the priestess, my parents and older brother, with faces equally changed, entered the room and surrounded me, embracing me tightly as they called my name.

On this day, it was decided in a discussion between my family that my skill [Slave Command] would not be made public.

◆

It’s been a week since then, and my family has consoled me a lot. They still look at me sadly from afar.

From my perspective, I have confidence that I can get by even without skills, so this kindness is rather painful.

It’s as if jokingly saying, “I’ve lost something important,” has turned into something more serious. My parents gave me a substantial allowance, saying, “We can’t replace what you lost, but use this to buy something you want.” My older brother, feeling a sense of guilt, offered me something precious of his own, as if trying to make up for it.

However, if I were to say, “Actually, this world is just like the game world I played in my past life, and you can switch skills to whatever you like,” there’s no way they would believe me. Moreover, they might think I’m trying to escape reality from the results of the skill ceremony. In that case, it would only increase their worries.

So, it seems better for me to continue to appeal that “I’m really not bothered” until their concerns fade away.

It was at such a time that my father called for me, and we went together to the study room.

“Lawrence, you’re still three years old, so you may not understand the situation yet. But when you grow up, remember that your family will always be on your side——”

And so it began. Father started talking about the same content that I’ve been hearing from him every day recently.

The content of this conversation revolves around the skills I acquired. One is a skill called [Slave Command], which has become meaningless now that the magic of slave contracts has been established.

The other is [Recovery], a skill that slightly boosts the healing abilities of someone I cast the skill on.

In essence, it’s a state close to having no skills.

My father explained these two points in a way that a three-year-old like me could understand, emphasizing that my family will always be my allies, despite my current situation.
