Warning: Same as last chapter, there are descriptions of strong child abuse plus the addition of forced coprophagia.

The couple already considered Rir as something akin to a slave. Consequently, the thought of killing the girl after raising her for six years never crossed their mind, but they grew dissatisfied at being unable to vent their frustrations on her.

Before Rir had turned 11, they started to punch and kick her, burn her with cigarettes, and cut her with small knives even if she did her chores to perfection. After having their fill of seeing her in pain, they naturally used Restoration Magic to heal just her HP.

Still, this was no longer enough for them. Even if they struck her, she never did anything but trembly and cry silently. She neither begged them to stop nor did she scream. Although some part of them felt puzzled by their growing savagery, their abuse of Rir escalated.

One month after Rir had turned 11, the wife caught her talking to the livestock. Though she had known about it for some time, this was when she started to pay attention to it. Once she saw that, she decided to force Rir to eat the livestock’s feces. The girl had already grown numb to any other stimuli.

Of course, Rir resisted. However, the moment she tried to do that, the husband cut her horizontally across her back, and feeling such pain caused her to open her mouth wide involuntarily. Then, for the first time in her life, animal feces were stuffed down her throat.

She vomited. The young girl vomited and vomited, as the couple watched and laughed.
As a result, Rir gained the “Eather of Strange Things” title.

The excessive abuse continued for four years. While it didn’t kill her, it wore her down mentally.

There were times when they forced her to eat the eyes of giant insect monsters. Because of the unsuitable food, while she was able to swallow it, she started to vomit like crazy. Then, the vomit was poured from the bucket over her head.
There were times she was mercilessly stabbed with blades.
There were also times she was used as an archery target.

She wasn’t treated like a person. She wasn’t even treated like a slave. She was a mere toy.

Rir, having been reduced to a plaything, had reached her mental limit. The fact that she endured such a life for four years was thanks to getting used to it and her bright mind.

Using the Stealth skill, which she had learned at some point, she went to gather food in the forest at night to survive.

Setting aside the feces, her instincts told her that the insects she was given contained proteins, so she ate those properly. However, due to the frequent vomiting when filth was poured into her mouth and her body starting to react to food with revulsion, the act of eating had turned into the worst torture from her perspective. Consequently, she stopped eating more than was needed to avoid endangering her life.

Apart from food, she developed some other coping mechanisms. When she was smeared with her own or the livestock’s filth, she would clean herself in a lake in the forest. She also rubbed medicinal herbs on her untreated wounds.

Thus, she managed to survive in an environment that would’ve killed a normal person. One reason was acquiring Stealth at such a young age, which luckily allowed her to avoid fighting any magic beasts.

If she managed this much, why didn’t Rir escape? This, and the fact she reached this age without being ra̲ped by the husband was due to the wolfkin’s instinctive code.

Said code was nuanced, so Rir instinctively wouldn’t cause trouble for those who took care of her, while the husband instinctively wouldn’t go against the rules by cheating on his wife.

As these days continued, the biggest turning point for her suddenly arrived.
A beastfolk hunt was being held.

Beastfolk hunts were rare rites to replenish the slave stores of the country, consisting of enslaving the inhabitants of ravaged hamlets or villages, and putting them on the market.

The robust wolfkin were no exception. Still, they were powerful. Therefore, Rir was the only one they managed to catch.

Furthermore, it was the husband who got wind of the impending hunt before anyone else and informed the whole village. Rir didn’t know that, but this was the reason he was then made the next village chief.

The slave hunters and trainers were baffled. The sole wolfkin girl they managed to catch was already mentally crippled, and while she didn’t have any diseases (thanks to the medicinal herbs Rir found), her body was clearly far from perfect condition.

But she was alive. Furthermore, she didn’t have a brand, so she was no slave.

For the time being, they caught her as a slave, and brought her to a training facility, where they tried to educate her. Still, since she was already able to do most things to perfection, the trainers in charge didn’t have much to do.

She was able to do household chores flawlessly from the start, once her body was cleaned, both her facial features and the size of her breasts were deemed good, and moreover, she was a virgin.

After living a somewhat comfortable life at the training facility for one year, Rir was then shipped out as a “defective product”.

There were five reasons for deeming her such:

1. Severed ear and tail.
2. Body covered in scars.
3. Has issues with formal speech, even after being trained.
4. Hard to feed (keeps vomiting).
5. Heavily damaged mental faculties.

On the carriage when being shipped out, she had a fateful encounter that would change her life completely, but that was another story.

TL notes:
We finally find out what happened to Rir, and it’s so much worse than my predictions back in chapter 251. The fact that being made a slave significantly improved her situation is just depressing. I guess the most baffling thing for me is that apparently no one in the village noticed for all those years (though humans have a tendency to ignore such unpleasant truths).
