Cecyl Pharott

Cecyl Pharott is one of the female protagonist of the series and the first slave that bought Nagi...

## Background

Cecyl's family was the remnant of a race of demons whose customs were deemed inappropriate for human society, so they were forced to live in seclusion living in hiding in the mountains.
However, two years before the events of the history, they were drawn into a conflict between humans, Cecyl being the only survivor. As a result, she was treated as war spoils and sent from city to city to be sold as a slave.
It was told to her that the chance of someone buying her was slim to none due to her dark elf appearance, while the other slaves with better attributes were bought.
Her only friend was a ghost named Ashtaltae who was always with her giving her hope that someone would resonate with her, although Cecyl always responded by saying that no one in this world could be interested in someone with the characteristics that she possessed.

## Plot

One day in the slave shop, a customer appeared who was interested in buying Cecyl, approched her and whispered that he came on behalf of Ashtaltae. Though she was impressed by the comment, she decided not to have very high expectations. After a while, the client managed to exchange Cecyl for a peculiar skill that Cecyl could witness. Moments after leaving the store, Ashtaltae said goodbye to Cecyl after having fulfilled her promise to find someone who would take her out of there, wishing the best for Cecyl and his new master.

### Starting a new life with an strange master

His master's name was Nagi Souma (though he metion to feel a little embarrassed to be called master so he asked her to call him by name), for Cecyl he was a strange person, he pronounced things that made no sense to her and his goal of to obtain money with the least possible effort did not seem logical to her, however she decided to help him in all that was possible.

It was not until both arrived at the inn where she discovered how kind Nagi was in the way he treated her, making Cecyl felt that the idea of deceiving him would damage her badly. After they made things clear, she obeyed Nagi's petition of showing her skills, although Cecyl mentions the disappointed in the skills that she could offer, though Nagi said that he would try something with his ability to modify skills. After feeling several sensations to the point of tiredness, Nagi managed to make an improvement in her skills and as a result of fatigue both went to sleep.

Once they woke up in the next morning, they were forced to escape from the capital because the slave merchant has started to chase Nagi for the rare skill he traded.

### Journey to Metakal city

Both Nagi and Cecyl began to travel towards Metakal, while on the way they see two carriages, one of them belonged to merchants who supported the adventurers' guild and the other belonged to the Itulna church that favored the supremacy of the human race. Nagi decides to travel with Itulna's followers, since he did not want her power to be highlighted and they seemed to be the strongest, but Cecyl did not feel like going with them as she feared that her teacher would be indifferent to her. . So Nagi decides to elaborate a surprising lie that allowed them to travel in the carriage, although the lie told affected Cecyl emotionally.

There they meet the newly promoted high priestess, Rita Melpheus, who heared what Nagi said and felt a great affection for Cecyl (even though the cult don't like demihumans), she felt that Rita was a good person but she didn't like the way Nagi was treated. During the course of the trip they talked about the cult's way of life, until they reached the nearest town where they parted ways.

In the town they decide to rest in an inn where different types of demihumans lived, while they were eating they heard that a sea monster appeared in a nearby lake, and it's advised to not get nearby. Nagi and Cecyl discuss the matter and conclude that Rita's group was camping there, since the Itulna followers wouldn't like to stay in the same town where demihumans stays, and it's more likely that they will provoke the monster since they would never hear about the monster prescense from the villagers. Nagi decides to go to a walk to test the power of the newly skill of Cecyl (though she  knew he wanted to save Rita).

Once they arrive at the place where they find Rita barely resisting the creature, Nagi tells Rita how she ended up in this situation so she proposes to establish a contract for a minimum amount of money so that she can easily accept (and to not attract too much attention). Frustrated by the situation, she decides to accept the contract where she would pay that amount of money or else she would become a slave to Nagi's services (although he tries to make her reconsider, it was too late to change it). Nagi and Rita distract the monster while Cecyl chants a spell with her ancient magic to kill it. they do it successfully, though Cecyl got exhausted so Nagi decides to carry her to the inn.

Once Nagi and Cecyl arrive in Metakal, they spend a few days exploring the city and thinking about what they will do in the future once they receive the pay from killing the creature. One day though, Rita appears and tells them that she was fired from her position because of the creature incident, so the contract effects activate and she will now becomes Nagi's slave for not being able to pay the promised money , Nagi doesn't understand why she couldn't be able to do so and asks how it was possible, so Rita begins to explain. She tells them that the priest of the church claims that the situation of the creature was a punishment from the god Itulna for allowing a demi-human (referring to Cecyl) to travel with them in one of his carriages, though she later tells them that she hit everyone who supported that excuse, and then she was fired after her prominent skills were sealed. Nagi frustrated by those claims, decides to elaborate a plan to make them pay for everything that happened.

Moments later, the priest in charge of the Metakal church presents himself and tells Nagi that he wants to buy Rita after he heard about the situation of Rita's contract, claiming he is still his boss eve though she was fired and wants to keep her permanently. After such outrageous nonsense, Nagi decides to put a price that he could never afford. The priest is furious and claims the price is unfair, so Nagi tells him that since the payment couldn't be realized, Rita will become a slave of a level that the priest would never be able to obtain. Nagi feigns to create a permanent slave contract with Rita, the priest upon seeing this resorts to threatening him but Cecyl interposes in his way and tells him that he will suffer if he dares to hurt his master, so he runs away terrified from the place to never return.

Once the situation ended, Nagi had to rethink staying in the city, so the group decides to get enough money to move to the next city, by working as adventurers.
