A general message from DDD!Issei.

[unknownrival]

I see that some confusion has crept up, so I'm stepping in to make things clear.

Diarmuid is my Servant. I am his Master. I am also his boyfriend.

However, this is different from BDSM and in fact shares no resemblance to it at all.

Thank you.

[Yeah, she doesn't really know this guy, buuuut...]

... What's BDSM?

[unknownrival]

It's. Um.

It's a sex thing.

[technologic]

... A sex thing? [Usually that would be enough to deter her. But not this time.]

What kind of sex thing?

[unknownrival]

A 'tie me up and call me your slave' kind of sex thing.

[technologic]

[... Blink.

Blink.

And then there's a faint blush and stuttering.] H-h-h-huh?! T-that's actually a thing people do?

[unknownrival]

That is actually a thing that other people who are not me and my boyfriend do.

[technologic]

Okay, I believe you. So, then... if it doesn't share anything with this BDSM thing, what does you being his 'Master' and him being a 'Servant' mean?

[unknownrival]

Magic. He's a spirit, and I'm keeping him in this world.

[technologic]

Oh, I get it! So then, in return for you keeping him in this world, he has to obey your orders or something?

[unknownrival]

Right. I wouldn't do anything unreasonable with them, though.

[technologic]

Okay! Giving your boyfriend unreasonable orders wouldn't really be a good idea, I think...

[unknownrival]

I would never do something like that to someone I love.

[technologic]

That's good.

... But wait, there's something that makes him have to obey orders, other than doing them of his free-will?

[unknownrival]

There is. I'm not going to use it.

[technologic]

That's good. But... what is it?

[unknownrival]

Command Spells. Orders that cannot be disobeyed no matter what the Servant wills.

[technologic]

[Whoa whut.]... Even if it could lead to the Servant getting killed or something?

[unknownrival]

Yes, even if.

[technologic]

That's... that's horrible! I-I hope most Masters are like you, then.

[unknownrival]

They're not.

[technologic]

[Her expression saddens a bit.] O-oh... Then, h-have you met Masters that would do something like that...?

[unknownrival]

Diarmuid's previous Master was like that.

[technologic]

What?! Oh geez, that's... I-it's a really good thing you became his Master, then.

[unknownrival]

I'm thankful for it every day.
