This choice: You ask her how much she wants to sell herself to you. • Go Back...Chapter #6You ask her how much it would take to sell herself by: Texienne   You ask her, "How much would you charge to sell yourself to me?"
Ming-hua's mouth drops open, then she closes it and pooches her lips. She isn't offended though. It's more of a smirking moue than anything else.
She teases, "You just keep going for more, don't you? But I think you still don't know what you're asking. You don't even know the money here. And I'm sure you don't have any. Come on, let's go inside and stop blocking traffic. We can talk in the main hall."
You realize you two have been standing there in front of City Hall making people go around you. You nod and let her lead you.
Scratching your head and nodding with embarrassment, you admit, "That probably wasn't the right way to ask."
"Nope," she says, still trying to keep from smirking at you.
You sigh. "Look, I just want to make sure we're doing this right. I will help you make sure you don't have to do stuff like that for three years, okay?"
"Then just take my non-exclusive rights and screw me until I'm pregnant! Isn't that every guy's dream?"
You frown. "On Earth, we don't do things the way you're talking about. We get married so the kids have two parents they can depend on. I'm trying to find a way to make sure the baby has a connection to me, and you said selling yourself is the equivalent of getting married, so…"
She rolls her eyes. "I meant some people see it that way. Look, having a good owner is every girl's dream here. She doesn't have to work except to keep house for him and raise his babies. It's a minority of guys who are willing to commit to that, so most girls never get the opportunity. But I'm giving up ownership of myself for life! I don't want to be owned by a guy who can't support me! My baby and I would starve, right?"
You get puzzled over one thing. "Wait, this is literal ownership you're talking about? Like, you become actual property?"
"What did you think I was talking about?"
You really are on an alien planet. You knew that already of course, but… "I thought maybe it just meant I owned your breeding rights for life. Something like that, anyway."
"Well… there isn't anything like that. Or rather, owning me is how you get rights for life, you see?"
"What would happen to your money and stuff? What's the point of getting money for selling yourself?"
She laughed. "It goes into a trust fund for my protection. if my owner tries to sell me and I don't like the man he's selling me to, a male relative like my father or my brother has to use money from it to buy me back until he can find another buyer for me. Or if there was nobody like that, the bank does it themselves."
"You can't use it to buy yourself back?"
"Nope. Once you're property, you're property. You can't undo that. That's why a girl has to be careful. Anyway, once I get old, if my owner dies or gets tired of me, the bank uses it to buy me and support me. The banks have it all worked out, and they compete for the business, so they look out for their owned girl clients. That's why it's every girl's dream."
"Even though you're somebody else's property from then on?"
"I've said it, right? Society looks out for owned girls, just like how they make sure girls' breeding rights aren't abused. If you own a girl, people make sure you treat her fairly. I mean, if she does bad things you're allowed to punish her, but it isn't… what does my mom call it? Oh, right. It isn't BDSM."
Actually, it sounds to you like it's exactly BDSM, but maybe she means Society makes you keep it down to the mild kind.
Then she surprises you . "So how about we make a contract for you to buy me when you can afford it?"
"Wait, what?"
"There's a downside for you though. The contract requires you to keep my exclusive rights, so you need to make sure I get pregnant within three months so you don't face the penalty."
"They have an actual contract like this?"
She nodded. "It's called a commitment contract. You have to keep my exclusive rights for as long as the contract is in force, so if we make a baby you have to take my exclusive rights again. While it's still just a commitment contract, I can make you let me out if I've made at last one baby for you. But once either you or I tell the city that you can afford me now, after they investigate and agree, the sale becomes final."
"And you're seriously okay with doing this?"
She tips her head, almost as if your confusion is a little odd to her. It seems to be perfectly normal in her eyes. "I said it, right? It's every girl's dream to have a nice owner. So, while you get established and save up the money you need, I get to see how you treat me and my baby and decide if you're as nice as you seem. My asking price is four thousand units. Normally you would pay me a hundred for making the contract too, but I'll skip that because you're helping me with my problem."
"That… sounds low? I guess I don't know how much money here is worth, though."
She laughs. "An inexpensive house costs around four thousand. It's what most Earthers can earn here in two or three years. You can take out a mortgage on me, but the bank will want you to put twenty percent down. Of course, if they like you, my mom or my dad will probably lend you the money for the down payment."
If it had been any other girl, maybe you would have taken time to think about it. But you're having this conversation with a beautiful golden-colored girl with three bare breasts and an absolutely dazzling smile and a mesmerizing voice. You've gone into the city registrar's office and made the contract before you know it!
