The morning mist had yet to lift as Shizuku made her way down a side alleyway. She was following Margret’s directions to the slave trader who could not put up their tent on the main road. The side alley slowly opened up to a spacious area where a large brown tent with a sign hanging over the entrance that read: Ange’s Slave Corp.

Shizuku stuck her head inside the tent, which was dimly lit. She was expecting to be hit with a stench of some kind but found it to smell quite clean. “Can I help you, little one?”

Shizuku turned to see a woman with massive breasts smoking a cigarette. “H cup!”

“Very good!” The woman giggled as she put out her cigarette and walked over to Shizuku. “A vampire, I see. How can I help you today?”

“Ah… Ummm. I am here for a slave. Female preferably and one that can fight as well.” Shizuku replied. “Margret told me you would have what I am looking for.”

“I do… Have a few. Come and follow me.” The woman replied as she began making her way down to the back. “My name is Ange, as the sign says. May I ask your name, little one?”

“It’s Shizuku,” Shizuku replied. “May I ask if you have any beastkin girls?”

“I was bringing you to them now. I have been trading slaves for a long time. I stop in each place for about a month before moving on. So, for a vampire to need a slave, it is normally for blood. Beastkins have high blood regeneration, so they are perfect for a vampire slave. You are lucky that I still have a few in stock.” Ange explained lightly. When she walked, her hips shook, causing Shizuku’s eyes to become distracted.

“We are here. I only have three left. A lizard kin, a fox kin, and a bear kin.” Ange pointed at the three girls inside the cages. 

Shizuku looked at the three girls. Each one was humanoid and seemed to have lifeless eyes. The lizard girl had green scales covering part of her body, while the bear girl had a small tail and short, rounded ears. It was the fox girl that caught her attention. She had a  nice reddish fluffy tail, which looked quite warm. But what caught her eye was the large black marking on her body. “How much for the fox girl?”

“Are you sure you want her?” Ange asked. “Once you buy a slave, we will only purchase them back for half of what you paid.”

“Can you open the cage?” Shizuku asked. Ange nodded and took out a pair of keys from her massive breasts. She was wearing a red evening gown that formed to her body. The side of her dress had a long slit in it, so when she bent over to unlock the cage, her thigh became exposed all the way to the waist. The low v-cut in her dress also showed a good amount of cleavage. Shizuku couldn’t help but take mental pictures for later on. 

“Come out.” Ange tone was commanding. The fox girl inside slowly crawled out. Shizuku looked at the fox girl who had two large melons on her chest, even though she looked to be around Shizuku’s age in surprise. Besides the black marking, the girl was a beauty. It was just it seemed her expression was non-existent. “I have had this girl since young. Mainly, guys would buy females. And one with a marking like this on their body is no good. She is still a virgin and a beauty, but she seems to have no expression at all. I can let you have her for ten gold. That is as cheap as I can go. And I am only willing to go that low since you are a friend of Margret’s. I owe her.”

“Done. I will take her. Does she have a name?” Shizuku asked while taking ten gold coins out.

“No. They all lose their names once they become slaves. You will need to give her one after you sign the slave contract or just call her hey or you. Whatever suits you.” Ange explained.

“Alright.” Shizuku did not know why, but she felt like this girl’s name should be Mei. She handed the ten gold coins over, and Ange snatched, took them, and stuffed them between her breasts before taking out a strange stamp-looking object. 

“This is a magic tool. I need you to drip a drop of blood on the stamp so that it can register you.” Ange held the bottom of the stamp out to Shizuku. It was then that Shizuku realized that the bottom had a magic circle engraved into it. Shizuku then bit the tip of her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the stamp. It glowed slightly, showing that it had registered the blood before Ange suddenly took it, pulled the fox’s girl’s shirt up over her head, and stamped it on the fox’s girl’s chest.

A bright glow illuminated the room as a magic circle made of blood formed on the fox girl’s skin. It pulsated for a moment before slowly forming a tattoo of the magic circle. “She is now yours. It is a pleasure doing business with you.”

Ange pushed the fox girl towards Shizuku. The fox girl stumbled but was quickly caught by Shizuku. “This contract….”

“Ah right… explanation…. The contract makes it so that the slave can not be more than a few feet from you without your permission. If you order her to do something, she can not refuse. Not that this one would since she is more like a dead fish. Anyway, that is all ten gold will get you. Have a good day.” Ange already did more than she normally would, and this was only because Shizuku said Margret’s name.

Shizuku took the fox girl by the hand and led her out of the tent. “I guess it would be best to bring you home first and give you a bath, then get you some proper clothing. Anyway, from this day forth, your name will be Mei.” Shizuku did not like the fact that Mei was only wearing a long shirt. When the contract was done just now, she got to see all of Mei’s body. She had no underwear on at all. Shizuku couldn’t help but remember what she saw and mumbled: “It was a perfect 10….”
