I have to sign a slave contract (つ﹏⊂)

“Alright, alright, you can have this…”
In any case, the star badge was absolutely off-limits, otherwise, she would be punished by Ruoxi.
As for the phone, she had a feeling the witch wouldn’t want such a technological product.
After weighing the options…
Xingyue still gave her two white stockings to the witch. QAQ
“Ooh~ Wonderful, it’s white stockings!”
The previously languid Witch【L】, the moment she saw the white stockings, her eyes flashed with ecstasy. Her scarlet tongue licked the corner of her lips as she tucked the soft fabric into her sleeve.
“What an unexpected surprise… It seems our fate is deeper than I imagined.”
“Wonderful, wonderful… white stockings, white stockings, hehehe…”
Witch L’s voice was filled with unconcealed excitement.
Xingyue: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
‘Why is a grand witch so interested in my stockings?’
And she didn’t know if it was her imagination…
This crazed look Witch L had over the white stockings… was very similar to the one she met this afternoon in the spatial rift…
The elder flower demon who traded with Xingyue.
“Alright, I like this gift very much. Continue drawing, little cutie~” Witch L pushed the remaining two cards in front of Xingyue, the wooden surface of the bar making a grating sound.
Xingyue: ‘A fifty-fifty chance!’
Xingyue took a deep, nervous breath, her nails nearly digging into her palms.
“Th-this one.”
Xingyue’s voice trembled, cracking as she pointed to the card on the right.
‘No matter what, I’ll risk it!’ (ﾉ｀⊿´)ﾉ
However, the moment it flipped…
Xingyue: ‘?!!’
A pitch-black joker pattern stared at her like an abyss, the runes on the card glowing with a faint blue light, casting twisted shadows on the tavern walls.
Xingyue: ‘Aah! I drew the joker!’ (๑˃ಐ˂৭)
For some reason, Xingyue felt that the joker’s face… was looking more and more like her own. QAQ.
“Pwhahahahaha!”
Witch【L】burst into sharp laughter, shaking the wine glasses until they clinked.
“Congratulations, little sister, you’ve earned the qualification to sign an eternal contract with me!”
A sheepskin scroll flew out of Witch L’s sleeve, unfurling in the air into a musty-smelling contract form.
The words swam on the paper like living creatures. Xingyue could barely make out words like “s*ave,” “obey,” and “soul.”
“How could this happen…”
Xingyue’s throat tightened, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Just then, Witch L’s pocket buzzed.
“I’m taking a call, you can look at the contract first… oh right, if you dare to run, your big sister won’t let you go~”
After speaking, Witch L took out the phone from her pocket and went behind the bar.
…
Witch L: – “Hey, yeah it’s me. Sister F, I’ve already secured that loli you took a liking to in the spatial rift this afternoon. I even got her white stockings~”
Witch L: – “What? You got her clothes too, sis?”
Witch L: – “Sigh… the ability to freely disguise oneself is so convenient… It’s a shame my magic can’t change my appearance, only control things. I’m so envious of you, sis.”
Witch L: – “Anyway, let’s not talk about that. I’ve got the loli. What’s your next move, sis?”
Witch L: – “…Have her help us collect the Magic Ritual Garments? For something so important, finding a loli who looks so weak seems a bit too careless.”
Witch L: – “Don’t worry, I’ll test her again.”
The call ended…
Little Xingyue didn’t hear any of this conversation.
…
“Sorry for the wait. Have you looked over the contract? We can start signing now.”
Witch L returned to Xingyue’s side.
She saw Xingyue staring at the contract in her hands, her head bowed.
“Alright, stop wasting time. Hurry up and sign your—”
Before Witch L could finish, she was interrupted by Xingyue.
“Wait! This isn’t right!” Xingyue suddenly looked up.
“From the very beginning, you seemed to know I would draw the joker! And this contract form… it was prepared in advance, wasn’t it!”
Witch【L】’s smile froze instantly, the flickering of her magic tattoos becoming erratic.
She cleared her throat, and a purple flame condensed at her fingertips, rolling the contract form in front of Xingyue: “Don’t overthink it, little sister. People have often drawn the joker in the past, so I always prepare a scroll in advance to avoid trouble…”
Then, the witch’s voice suddenly became gentle: “By the way, little sister, did you know that if you don’t want to be a s*ave, there are other options to avoid it?”
“What options?” Xingyue watched her warily.
“The name on the contract doesn’t have to be your own.”
“Huh? (°ー°〃)” Xingyue blinked.
“As long as you write down the names of people close to you, they can become my slaves in your place, and you naturally won’t have to bear anything~ Let your big sister help you find your close ones~”
After speaking, Witch L waved her arm and began to cast a spell.
Before long, two glowing names appeared in the air—”Takanashi Nami” and “Xisitina Belles”.
“What?! (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!”
Xingyue’s pupils contracted.
‘The people close to me aren’t my four former subordinates from the villain’s base, nor is it Ruoxi, with whom I have such a deep connection.’
‘Instead, it’s Xisitina and Nami… these two friends I’ve only known for a short while?’
“Mm, you have two people close to you, but because you haven’t known them for long, their weight is too low. You must write both of their names on the contract to take your place.”
“You mean, they both have to become your slaves?” Xingyue’s eyes widened.
The witch leaned close to Xingyue, her warm breath tickling her ear: “That’s right. What a great opportunity. Trading two people you’ve barely known for your own freedom, what’s not to like?”
“I…”
Xingyue choked on her words.
“So, have you decided? If you don’t decide soon, your big sister will choose for you. I’m quite fond of loli slaves like you~”
The witch conjured magic chains that bound Xingyue’s legs.
Xingyue looked at the contract form before her, already drenched in sweat.
