I agree, much as the very beginning explains why she calls
us Master, surely enough time has passed and enough
has happened that we can forgo that in favour of our actual name.
As far as I’m concerned with most games I’ve played that dealt with taking care of slaves, it isn’t easy for them to break that habit, especially if they develop intense loyalty to you. They perceive you much higher than others because of your kindness and grow the desire to serve you, and probably only you.
Oh, and Ryoko is kind of just… content with the current master-servant relationship she has with Ryo (p.s: default name), so why bother changing it?
Well she was never a slave the necklace placed on her was just to protect her from those that hunts her race for their magic abilities, "MC" stated that more than once for him she is not any too and not wanted to be any of that stating from start that she is his partner(girlfriend) and their relationship is simply like this, so as i see there is no reason she use "Master" word. As Phoenix said too i agree to that, i dont mind if she will use "MC name", she sometimes use it without the "master".
Maybe it's just the chain's effects. Because I always thought she must have suffered some extensive trauma with her previous owner, but wasn't it that nobody ever even had her as a slave and her mother just put around her neck to protect her? Nobody ever urged her to call anyone master. It is either her of deliberate choice (freaky), or an effect of the necklace.
The necklace as some of us knows, restrains her powers to not be detected, that was the reason why her mother did whad she did ofc just to protect her. And she never was a slave to begin with. I am very curious of the extent of her powers honestly, she is very smart and inteligent on top of that she is pure, innocent, gentle, kind,curious & brave &cuuuutee!, and she learns things very fast from i noticed too, and i am very curious how she can be without it, and am waiting patiently for wayyyy more content and amazing story that comes next i also am very curious what happens next, Amazing work thank you NCrow once more.
Yeah, but the male goon slaves who attacked the priestess also had the same necklace, and as far as I'm concerned they had no powers they had to subdue with it, so it's probably just there to coerce them into submission. It is probably some mimd control aparatus that messes with the head of it's subjects to some degree, while also apparently inhibiting their powers. A side effect of that may be the fact that Ryoko keeps calling Ryo her master. My likelier theory, as a veteran who has played this game from around the first if not first version, is however that the story was originally that Ryoko was supposed to be a runaway slave (there are plenty of indicators that will likely be reworked when Ncrow gets around to do it) and she has ptsd, which has now been retconned to the story we know today. The master thing may stick around if Ncrow is into it, I suppose, personally I don't mind, but I get that some people may do.
Well it may be like that with those that attacked the priestess since the master orders them, so they had to obey the will who controls them, as with Ryoko is different case as above said, the person did nothing like that that may initiate her obey the will of the person who wears it for her, and yes i not mention what the necklace do too that is revealed ofc later by Natsuki (about her body being more mature shhh.).
