This child seemed to have accepted her fate and didn't know how to resist.
"Then..."
"No. I don't need to do something as wicked as that. From now on, you are not a prostitute, nor are you a slave. You're just a normal person. Don't feel inferior, understand?"
Those words still left the fox girl somewhat dazed.
"From now on, when you see other people, you can hold your head high and say that you belong to me, Hestia. Got it?"
"Ah? Yes."
She seemed to understand, but Hestia knew her answer was perfunctory. She probably wouldn't say it.
It wasn't that being a member of Hestia's Familia was embarrassing. On the contrary, she was worried about bringing shame to Hestia.
"Actually, you're still a virgin. You're not a prostitute at all."
"Ah? I-I'm a virgin?"
"That's right."
Hestia could be certain that this girl was a sheet of pure white paper.
The girl seemed to have received many customers, but in reality, nothing like that had ever happened. She appeared to have a fear of men.
Yet after waking up, she had assumed she had already been defiled. No one had explained otherwise, so she had continued believing that she was an utterly filthy prostitute.
That idiot Bai Yue had told Hestia all this, and she believed him without question.
Because the girl was just that pure. That was the proof.
"Is that so?"
"What is it, Miss Shun'ichi? You don't believe me?"
Another voice sounded, making Tsubaki look over. It was the young man she had been assigned to serve.
And in truth, she didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can check."
"Ah? Check?"
"Yes. As a symbol of a pure maiden, as long as it's still on your body, that proves it."
"A symbol?"
