Robot Protection Zone Chapter 51

The time I spent with his father was nothing but happy.

Unlike the cold and aloof Master, his father was a good and benevolent person. Just like my old master. And he was always kind, so I never felt uncomfortable while I was with him.

The aquarium was so big that we had not even seen half of it, but my legs were already starting to ache. To take a short break, we sat in a rest area set up in the middle of the aquarium, eating ice cream and chatting about this and that with his father.

As we were spending time like that, the Master’s angry voice, coming from somewhere, shattered the friendly atmosphere.

“Didi!”

When I turned my head, the Master’s fiercely distorted face came into view. His expression was so terrifying that I unknowingly shrank back toward his father.

Seeing that scene, the Master’s expression hardened even more. He strode over to where I was sitting and gripped my shoulder tightly.

“Ugh!”

The pain was so intense it felt like my shoulder would be crushed, and I dropped the ice cream I was holding without realizing it. The white soft-serve ice cream splattered onto the clean floor.

Splat.

“Fuck… Disappearing without a word and not even answering your phone…”

“M-Master…”

His rough tone was even laced with a curse. He looked much angrier than I had expected, so I completely forgot all the excuses I had planned to give him.

The Master’s chillingly cold gaze was too frightening. Even the words “I’m sorry” got caught in my throat and would not come out.

But he said I did not answer his call…? I was sure there had not been any calls the last time I checked… I had not taken it out of my pocket since then, but I had not felt any vibrations.

I tried to put my hand in my pocket to check when the Master had called, but he seemed to misinterpret my action, and the grip on my shoulder tightened even more.

“I thought it would take you a bit longer, but you got here quickly. Did you put a location tracker on Didi or something?”

“……”

“It was a joke… Seeing as you can’t answer, I guess it was true.”

His father let out a deep sigh.

I habitually felt my neck, but there was nothing there. The red leather collar that supposedly had a location tracker inside was definitely stored in the drawer in my room… I wondered how on earth the Master had found me.

“Didi, get up.”

“Yes…”

I immediately rose from my seat. To be honest, the Master looked to be in a terribly bad mood, so I did not want to follow him, but I felt like I would get into even bigger trouble if I showed it, so I quietly watched him, trying to read the atmosphere.

“William.”

As the Master grabbed my wrist and started to pull me away, I heard his father’s voice from behind.

“Didi is not an object. He is not a child you can just push around however you want.”

The Master did not answer. He just kept his back turned and left the spot without stopping or looking back. Because of that, I had no choice but to follow the Master without being able to properly say goodbye to his father.

I hurriedly moved my legs to keep up with the Master. He was walking fast, perhaps because he was very angry.

“Master…! A little slower, please…”

It was so hard to keep up that I was panting as I made my request, but the look in his eyes when they met mine for a moment was so harsh that I had to shut my mouth.

The Master passed through the aquarium tunnel with angry, quick steps. I followed him, watching his back under the aquarium’s blue light.

Fish swam leisurely above our heads, but between the Master and me, a tense air flowed, contradicting the peaceful atmosphere.

Suppressing a wave of anxiety that I could not quite place, I walked silently, following the Master.

“……”

We left the aquarium and got into the car.

The Master said nothing. It was clear he was very angry, so I also kept my mouth shut quietly.

It must be because I went to meet his father without permission. But the Master was with that woman, too… Wasn’t it better for a nuisance like me to disappear?

I could not understand the Master, who was acting like that all this time, only to get angry now.

Feeling sulky for no reason, I did not apologize first. I turned my head to the window and just stared at the passing scenery. I thought it would be best to stay quietly holed up in my room until the Master’s anger subsided once we got home.

I was planning to lock myself in my room for a while and stay out of the Master’s sight, but as soon as we got out of the car, the Master pulled me into the house.

“Welcome back, William, Didi.”

“We’re ho—”

“Sofia. Do not come up to the second floor until I permit it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The Master cut me off and gave Sofia an order in a stiff tone.

As I followed the Master, who was still holding my wrist and heading for the second floor, I glanced back at Eve and Sofia with an anxious look. But before I even had time to ask them for help, we were already on the second floor.

I wanted to go to my room, which was right in front of me, but the Master did not let go of the hand holding my wrist. In the end, I could not break free with my own strength and was dragged into the Master’s bedroom.

“Ugh…!”

I was thrown onto the bed, my back hitting the mattress.

When I came to my senses and looked up at the Master, I saw him roughly loosening his tie. His eyes were razor-sharp and cold.

“Master…?”

“Did you have a good time with my father? You looked like you were about to confess your love or something.”

“That’s not true!”

“Why? You should have just asked to be taken in as my father’s robot, shouldn’t you? You seemed to like my father quite a lot.”

“……”

It seemed the Master had no intention of listening to me. No, it was more like he could not hear anything at all.

“Do you like my father that much? Ah, is it because he resembles my old master more than I do?”

The Master kept taunting me, even bringing up my old master.

At this point, the rebellious spirit that had been lying dormant inside me began to stir and rear its head. I squeezed my eyes shut and shouted.

“It’s because his father doesn’t treat me as roughly as you do, Master!”

“What…?”

The Master’s expression froze. Hah, he laughed as if in disbelief and ran a hand through his hair.

Belatedly realizing my mistake, I looked up at the Master. I was about to stammer that it was a slip of the tongue, but the Master’s mouth opened a little faster.

“Aha, so you prefer my father, who doesn’t treat you roughly? Is that why you’ve been avoiding me lately?”

“When did I ever avo—”

“You cried and begged me, saying you loved me, and now your feelings have changed already?”

The Master spoke through gritted teeth. His sharp-edged voice made me flinch a little, and I opened my mouth to make an excuse in a small voice.

“But you too, Master…”

“I have no intention of listening to your excuses. I should have made it clear who your master was from the start.”

The Master’s reaction was unusual. I sensed that something was wrong, but the atmosphere had already changed beyond control. The look in the Master’s eyes had completely changed.

“Mmph…!”

The Master kissed me roughly.

Startled, I clamped my lips shut, and he bit down on them with his teeth. Surprised by the sharp sting, I opened my mouth, and his tongue thrust in, ravaging the inside.

Pressed down by the Master, who was kissing me violently, I hastily grabbed his shoulders. His feelings were transmitted to me directly through his tense muscles.

The Master’s hands roamed over my body. Before I knew it, all the buttons on my shirt were undone in an instant. The cool air touched my skin.

Our lips parted. I tried to talk to the Master, but he took off my jacket and shirt and tossed them somewhere out of my reach so I could not pick them up.

The atmosphere was ominous. I called out to the Master in a trembling voice.

“M-Master…”

“What? You said you like me. So I’m going to hold you just like you wanted.”

The Master said as he, too, took off his shirt. When his bare torso was revealed right before my eyes, my face grew hot, and I swallowed the words I was about to say, pressing my lips firmly together.

“You acted like you were going to push me away, but I guess you want to have sex?”

Seeing my reaction, the Master laughed again as if in disbelief. Then he bent down and kissed me once more.

Unlike before, when I had been desperate to push him away, this time I began to accept the Master’s tongue meekly with a rather different attitude.

“Heuh…”

The Master seemed to notice this as well and willingly responded to my effort. His strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer as he pushed his tongue in deeper.

“Eub…!”

It was difficult to accept the kiss that suddenly enveloped me to the root of my tongue, so I clung to the Master, clutching his collar. I tried to endure somehow, even though I could barely breathe, but the more I did, the more violently the Master tangled his tongue with mine.

Unable to control my saliva, I began to drool. At that, the Master pulled his lips away and licked away the fluid trickling down my chin in a long swipe.
