"You disgusting miserable meatbag! Did you believe that you could make a mockery of this lovely lady and get away with it?!" Capella screeched as she bursted into Subaru's room.
It hasn't even been a full day since the underdressed girl claimed the boy as her own and his life was already on the line yet again. Subaru was sitting on his new bed, sulking over his poor life decisions which only lasted for about ten minutes before Capella came back, ready to rip his throat out.
Not wanting to get tortured to death already, Subaru quickly spoke up. "Woah there, just slow down and tell me what happened."
Capella pulled out the phone the boy gave her and practically shoved it into his face. "Your damn metia is a piece of junk! Strange symbols are on it and I can't freeze moments in time like you did with it earlier!"
Subaru blinked a few times as he had a vague idea what the problem was. "Give it here, I'll fix it."
The short tempered girl handed the phone into Subaru's hand and crossed her arms. "Good! If you dare think about wasting this lovely lady's precious time again, then I'll punish you harshly."
Ignoring her threats, Subaru instantly figured out what the problem was. "The lock on it is still up. Since this is going to be yours now, I guess I'll remove it."
That piece of information caused Capella to perk up in interest. "Lock? You mean to say this metia of yours has some kind of safety measure?"
The boy nodded as he was already changing the settings. "Yeah, it's a feature that helps stop other people from going through your stuff."
Capella took a moment to digest this new information before lifting her hand up. "Stop right now. Don't remove that lock from your metia. This lovely lady will instead allow you to teach me how to unlock it."
Subaru blinked a few times before shrugging. "Yeah, having a lock is pretty useful sometimes. Here, I'll show you what to do."
Subaru waited for Capella to look over his shoulder or something but instead, the barely dressed girl completely disregarded his personal space and plopped her butt down on his lap, staring intently at the phone after doing so.
Subaru really wanted to push her away but the traumatic experiences of dying by her a dozen times stopped him from doing so. One thing he knew for sure was to not piss this little monster off.
Before he lost track, he went back to the lock screen. "These are the list of symbols you can use as the password. You can use a maximum of four of these symbols as the password. I have the password set as this right now."
After the explanation, he typed 1-2-3-4 on the phone and it went to the main menu. Capella had a look of interest plastered over her face and pointed at the phone. "What are all those symbols?"
"They're the different applications you can use. If you want to freeze a moment in time, you touch this symbol." Subaru then went over the steps on how to open the camera app, use it to take pictures, and finally how to look back on the pictures that were taken.
This took several minutes but Capella was quick to get an understanding on how it worked. After finally learning how to use the phone's picture function, she happily took the phone back and got herself off of the boy's lap.
"I must say, this metia is a lot more interesting than I gave it credit for." Capella commented. She then turned to Subaru with a seductive smirk on her face. "As a reward for entertaining me, this lovely lady will share you her heavenly saliva~"
Subaru blinked a few times. Wait, does she mean she's going to kiss me? His suspicions proved to be correct as the lust crazed girl began to crawl on top of him. Well, at least he hoped that was proof for 'kissing' and nothing else…
Subaru tried to struggle but this damn little monster was very strong. He didn't know how such a short and frail looking shortie could be so strong. Capella licked her lips slowly as she leaned in closer and closer.
In a panic, Subaru pleaded, "W-Wait! That's not the kind of reward I want!"
Capella stopped her advance and glared at Subaru. "I am giving you a once in a lifetime opportunity to feast on my saliva. Are you meaning to say that this lovely lady is not attractive to you, you ungrateful chunk of meat?!"
Subaru could already see the danger he was in just off that tone alone. "N-No! It's nothing like that! It's just… I haven't done anything like this before." He said, desperate to avoid this situation.
Capella gave Subaru an awkward stare for a solid moment before smirking mischievously. "So you're a virgin then?~" The petite girl cooed.
Subaru's face lit red. "Th-That has nothing to do with this! I'm just saying you shouldn't throw yourself on me!" The boy rebutted. It was very clear to see how flustered he was.
Capella began laughing on top of the poor boy as she found his flustered behavior to be hilarious. "Since you're this lovely lady's property, I get to choose what to do with you." Before Subaru could argue against that warped logic, the golden haired girl finally got herself off the poor boy and back to her feet. "I have a better idea on how to reward you. You're such a lucky pet to have such a brilliant lady as your mistress." After those words, Capella gave Subaru a lewd look as she seemed to be lost in some kind of daydream.
Subaru gulped as he already had a bad feeling about this. "Y-You know, I think having a place to stay rent free is a good enough reward, don't you think?" The boy pointed out despite him being confined here against his will.
Capella shook her head. "If this lovely lady deems that her pet should get rewarded, then you should happily accept your reward. Would you prefer to get a punishment instead?~"
Subaru felt a chill go down his spine after hearing her last sentence and silently shook his head. One thing he learned from all the times he died by this little monster was that she was very… 'creative'.
"That's what I thought. This lovely lady will give you your special reward tomorrow. In the meantime, you're free to explore your new home."
Now that Subaru thought about it, he didn't exactly know where he was. Capella blindfolded him after declaring him as her pet and once it was taken off, he was in this room.
"O-oh… Well, thank you?" Subaru wasn't sure what to exactly say so he decided to just thank her and get this conversation over with.
Capella nodded in delight. Despite how unsure the boy sounded, she was satisfied with the verbal gratitude. "Sing me your praises after I show you around. This lovely lady is in a good mood so be grateful that you get to receive your tour from a divine being such as myself."
"Right…" So he wasn't free to explore, he was going to be guided around. Subaru sighed internally as he dreaded to himself that this was going to be a long day.
Surprisingly, the tour seemed normal enough. This place seemed like a small castle of sorts but there weren't any windows to be seen. There were a few extra rooms, a decent bathroom, an equally decent kitchen, actually, everything here was just that; decent.
"And this is as far as you're allowed to explore while your beloved mistress is out. Normally, you wouldn't have permission to leave your room so feel grateful that you're owned by such a kind and caring lady." Capella said, thus ending her little tour after some time had passed of showing Subaru around.
Not wanting to potentially piss off this short monster, Subaru asked for some clarification. "So you don't want me to pass beyond this point, right?"
Capella nodded. "I'm glad that you're smart enough to know your place all by yourself. If you go beyond this point, well," The golden haired girl turned to Subaru, smiling at him maniacally. "Let's just say you wouldn't want to see mama when she's angry."
Subaru felt cold after seeing that smile. "I-I'll keep that in mind…"
The golden haired girl immediately switched her tune and giggled. "Good boy. Now if you'll excuse me, this lovely lady needs to get your special reward ready for you. Don't do anything to make mama mad while she's gone." Following up with a sly wink, she stepped out of the room without saying another word and swiftly shut the door behind her, not giving Subaru a chance to really see what was on the other side.
Once she finally left, Subaru dropped to his knees and started complaining to himself. He was paying close attention to any kind of escape routes while he was on this tour but that door was the only way into this wing. All the walls were made of stone so he couldn't break through that way either.
He could try sneaking out from the door but that was a bad idea for multiple reasons. Firstly, he had no idea what's beyond that door. For all he knew, he was trapped in some kind of discount castlevania. Secondly, he wasn't brave enough to get on Capella's bad side. There could be a chance that she's waiting on the other side of that door and this was all just some kind of bait.
Sadly, he could only think of one idea right now; Gain Capella's trust and give her the slip when the opportunity presents itself.
Subaru sighed once more. "I got transported into another world… Why did I get such a bad spawn location?"
--
Capella quietly snuck into the wing she ever so graciously provided to her brand new pet. A day had passed and she must say, she was impressed he boy didn't try to escape. It was written all over his face that he wanted to get out of here and Capella read up on that very well. She had dealt with countless other people before and she was pretty good at reading others, especially if they were hiding something from her.
So it came as a surprise that none of her children caught him trying to leave. She even started to inspect the wing and there weren't any signs of escape attempts. She was at least expecting to see the shovel she cleverly planted to be dented but even that was untouched.
The golden haired girl shrugged after surmising that Subaru didn't try anything while she was gone. It was a pity, she kinda wanted to at least see a struggle so she would have an excuse to punish him. Well, not that she needed one. She just loved seeing her belongings take on a look of despair as they begged for forgiveness while she punished them. It just wasn't that fun if they were being obedient to begin with.
Oh well, she thought. At least she could give him a 'present' and watch his reaction to that.
Capella slipped herself into the wing's kitchen and saw her brand new pet mixing something. It was interesting as she didn't take him to be a chef. Without uttering a sound, she casually walked to the unsuspecting boy's side, just right outside of his vision.
He was mixing some kind of white sauce. Based on the smell, it was nothing she had ever seen before. She couldn't help but wonder if it was some kind of poison. The idea of getting poisoned in itself was adorable.
"What's that?" Capella suddenly asked.
Finally realizing her presence, Subaru jumped and nearly dropped the mixing spoon in his hand. "Gyaah!? H-Hey! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
That startled expression made the still barely dressed girl giggle. "What a cute yelp you have there~ Maybe I should make you say it again for being so bold to demand something from me~"
The boy flinched and shook his head. "S-Sorry, you just surprised me."
Capella turned her attention back to the white sauce. "You never answered my question. Is this poison or something?"
Subaru shook his head. "No, it's nothing like that. It's mayonnaise. There happened to be all the ingredients I needed so I thought that I might as well make some."
The golden haired girl tilted her head to the side. "Mayonnaise? Is it any good?"
"Yes! Life just isn't even worth living without Mayonnaise!" Subaru was really fast to answer that.
"Hmm…" Capella stared at the white sauce intensely for a while. She suddenly dipped her finger into the bowl and tasted it. "Mmmm~ Not bad. There's definitely something missing from it if you were looking to truly impress your beloved mistress."
"Yeah, it's a sauce so it's supposed to go well with other food. Putting this on hamburgers will make them a hundred times better." Subaru explained excitedly.
The short girl blinked a few times as she tilted her head to the other side, rubbing her chin as she contemplated this. "I want to test this claim of yours. Since I'm very generous and benevolent, this lovely lady will give you permission to make me some hamburgers."
The boy widened his eyes. "S-Slow down there. We don't have any burgers for that. I don't cook either so I'd end up burning it."
"Is that so?" Capella asked in a very disappointed tone. With a bored sigh, she continued, "I will have one of my children make the burgers then. If it turns out that your claims are a waste of time, then I'll dispose of you."
Subaru shuddered at the thought. Now he prayed that this little monster liked mayo for his own sake.
--
Subaru was wondering what he was even worrying about earlier.
As of this moment, Capella was greedily dumping the bowel of mayonnaise all over the hamburgers she had brought back. It was to the point that they all looked like white blobs.
It may have been a little excessive but hey, if she was enjoying herself, then Subaru had nothing to complain about. After viciously devouring them all, Capella leaned back in her chair and patted her belly which was surprisingly still skinny, especially considering the overwhelming amount she ate.
"Mmmm~ I should have you make me more of this mayonnaise." Capella happily jumped out from her chair before turning her attention to Subaru. "As for your reward, you now have my permission to address this lovely lady as Mistress or Mama."
Subaru cringed at that. He may be scared of getting tortured to death but he'd probably prefer that then calling this demon by something so… intimate.
"Erm… How about something more tame? Like Miss Capella?"
Capella's mood took a complete 180 and glared daggers at Subaru. "Are you daring to not accept his lovely lady's generous reward that she has ever so gracefully bestowed upon you?! I've been so nice and caring to even let you dine with such a heavenly being despite you being such an ungrateful chunk of meat! You should be on your knees singing me praises of how you love your mistress for being the most generous being in all existence!"
The boy was starting to get a migraine now from all the nonsense being spewed at him.
"J-Just hear me out." Subaru cleared his throat and he braced himself. "We've only known each other for about a day. Call me old fashioned but I'd like to get to know you a little more first before we move on to… pet names…" He nearly gagged at that last part.
Luckily, it was enough to throw the girl off of her yelling spree as she pondered his words. "Hmm, you do have a point. You're not nearly experienced enough to even be granted the honor of even addressing this lovely lady."
Before Subaru could feel relieved, she suddenly leaned in uncomfortably close with a sadistic grin on her face. "Yes, this lovely lady needs to train her mutt properly before we establish pet names~" She slowly licked over her lips after saying that.
The boy audibly gulped. He had a really bad feeling about this. But at least for now, he managed to avoid getting violated by this deranged little devil.
--
The next day…
--
Capella tilted her head. "Shogi?"
"That's right. It's a board game in my homeland that helps pass the time and it also tests one's wits between two people."
The boy had once again been interrupted by Capella's presence. However, before he knew what her intention was, she took interest over what he was making.
"I see. So this game is a pass time that challenges wits. Where is your homeland? I have never heard of such a game before."
"It's an island in the east called Japan. Anyways- Urk!"
Before he could utter another word, Capella suddenly pinned him against the wall by the neck. Pure rage filled her red eyes. "Do you take me for a fool?! There are no islands in the east! What do you possibly hope to gain by making such a blatant lie to this lovely lady?!"
Struggling to breathe, Subaru managed to speak out. "I-I'm not lying! I-I come from an island called Japan!"
Capella looked inquisitively at the choking boy for a moment before letting go. Subaru collapsed to his knees, breathing heavily. Before the poor boy knew it, the still pissed off girl stepped on his head and pinned his head to the floor.
"Listen here, worm. There are no islands in the east. Lugnica is in the east. After that, there's the great waterfall. Unless you're from beyond the great waterfall, you'd best tell me where you really come from."
Subaru's head felt like it was going to pop open any second now. If he didn't act quick, he was sure to die. "P-Please hear me out! I don't come from this world! I don't know what Lugnica is nor what this great waterfall is because none of that is in my world!"
Subaru was initially planning to keep that a secret but he was desperate. He didn't want to die again and he knew lying to Capella was a very bad idea. Luckily for him, all the pressure on his head finally stopped.
"Another world?" Capella stood still above Subaru for a bit. It was as if she was trying to catch any hints from the boy for any lies. "You know, that makes a lot of sense."
The girl finally lifted her foot off of Subaru's head and the boy in question struggles to get back to his feet.
"You should've started with that. This really is your fault for not speaking up sooner."
The audacity of this woman, Subaru thought. He wasn't going to say that out loud though. After all, that would probably be labeled as a death sentence. "Right… I'll try to speak up next time."
"You're so fortunate to have such an understanding mistress. Go on now, tell me more about this shogi of yours."
The rest of the day was spent teaching Capella on how to play Shogi.
--
Several weeks later…
--
The time Subaru had spent here was… not bad all things considered. After the shogi day, Capella nearly laughed herself to death after learning that Subaru was illiterate.
After making fun of the poor boy, she took it upon herself to educate him. During the sessions, she'd go on and on about how Subaru was so lucky to have so much of her undivided attention.
Knowing that Subaru was from another world, Capella made him tell stories about his world in exchange for teaching him about this world. Subaru was just happy that Capella wasn't asking for… 'kisses'… anymore.
After about a week of this, she eventually allowed Subaru out of the wing. However, he had to be within arm's reach from Capella at all times. Subaru's suspicions were mostly proven correct about this place. It was essentially a dungeon the size of a castle.
What occurred during his time out of the wing made him want to go back. She mainly punished her underlings for not doing a good enough job. The way she punished them was awfully similar to how she killed Subaru before coming here but instead she ensured they stayed alive.
One thing Subaru got out of this was how thankful he was for his choice to get on Capella's good side.
Capella just recently finished teaching him about this world so he had to come up with something else to distract her with. After all this time, Subaru was able to convince her to give him access to a good number of supplies so that shouldn't be too hard.
On what seemed like a normal day, Subaru was in the middle of constructing a kite. Not only would this be a good way to distract Capella but it would also prove to be a good ruse to take him outside. If he could get a good layout on where he was, then he'll be one step closer to escaping this place.
"Poochie!~ Your beloved mistress is back!~"
Subaru sighed internally. Lately she's been referring to Subaru as that degrading nickname. He never really came up with anything for Capella when it came to nicknames.
She didn't like being called by her name. She always said that a mutt like him doesn't deserve such a privilege. Subaru also refused to use Capella's suggestions. He would probably prefer to die if he had to call that demon either mistress or mama. Instead, he went with the classical 'hey' and 'you'.
"Hey, I'm just about done making my new invention. After I get this tied up, then we could probably-"
"This lovely lady has already made plans for you today. You can play with your sticks and strings another day." Capella swiftly interrupted.
"O-Oh really? What exactly did you have in mind?"
The barely dressed girl winked. "It's a surprise~ Be grateful that your beloved mistress is so caring to her poochie."
Subaru gulped audibly. He had a very bad feeling about this. Luckily he had a backup plan for this kind of scenario. "You know, I think basking in your presence is already enough. I don't think I could ever ask for a finer reward than this."
It was very degrading and he had to hold himself back from vomiting but this usually worked.
Like usual, Capella gave off a smug grin. "This lovely lady is fully aware of how valuable my attention is. It is right of you to understand how grateful a mutt like you should feel."
"R-Right! In that case, why don't I-"
"However, your beloved mistress is feeling extra generous today. Follow me and I'll show you your surprise."
"Y-You know, I could always-"
Subaru was suddenly silenced as Capella slammed her fist into the wall, causing the brick wall to crack. Despite her terrifying way of keeping the boy quiet, she continued in her cutesy voice. "Aww~ Is my poochie trying to reject her beloved mistress's order?~ If you don't want your surprise, this lovely lady would be more than happy to train you instead~" Capella seductively licked her lips after speaking those words.
A shiver crept down Subaru's spine at that sight. "I-I meant to say lead the way!"
"Teehee~ Good boy~"
With that, Capella led Subaru out of the wing.
During the tense walk, Subaru tried plotting ways to wiggle his way out of this. Seeing the way she 'rewards' her underlings made the boy desperate. Capella's definition of rewards were… let's just say far too lewd for his liking.
Unfortunately, before he could come up with anything, they arrived at their destination. It was the place she usually spoke to her underlings where she either gave them orders or punished them.
"Alright, on your knees, Poochie."
Seeing how serious Capella sounded, Subaru instantly complied.
This was it, Subaru dreaded. He delayed this for as long as he could but he guessed it had to come eventually. Now that he thought about it, it probably wouldn't be so bad. At least it wasn't one of her punishments.
That's right. He just had to endure a couple minutes of this and he could get back to plotting his escape. After taking a deep breath, Subaru closed his eyes and braced for what's to come.
"I've noticed how talented you are since you've arrived. I'm a very brilliant lady as you already know so keeping you locked in your room all day would be very wasteful."
Subaru blinked a few times. What was she getting at? He wondered.
With a big ass grin on her face, Capella proudly announced. "From now on, you will be one of my children."
…
"H-Huh…?"
"Oh, and congratulations! You're the first pet this lovely lady has ever owned to also be one of my beloved children."
It was now that it finally dawned on the boy. She always called her underlings her children. What she means is that he will be one of her underlings now and work as one of her assassins.
Capella leaned in closer to Subaru who wore a shocked look on his face. "Aww~ Don't worry my little Poochie. Your title of pet will not be stripped away. Think of this as being granted a second title.
Now, as one of my children, I will be expecting a lot from you. Do your best to make mama proud."
Before Subaru could grimace at this horrible news, the golden haired girl continued. "Also, try not to disappoint me. You already know what I do with bad children~"
He couldn't hold it anymore. Tears flowed down the boy's cheeks. This was bad. He knew for a fact that he essentially entered hell.
Capella on the other hand was delighted to see that her beloved pet was so happy that he began to shed tears of joy.
