I proceeded to the entrance.
"I know our slave is inside this house, we have come to take her. "
"I do not know what you’re talking about, please don’t make such a baseless lie."
Lilia replied to them while I made my way.
They brought three people.
Standing at the front is a tiny man with a knife.
He might be from the dwarf race.
Behind him was a muscular bald man, and a Mohican style haired man.
Violence oozed from their bodies.
They gave a feeling like that of Samson and Adon.
"So you say... In this town, a red haired pregnant woman is already conspicuous, then combined with a large white dog, we already know where to search without asking."
"Maybe Eris-sama is acting violently. You just said it’s a possibility. However, inside our home, there is no such thing like a slave to be taken back. "
Lilia gave them such a clear answer, the baldie from behind made a cracking noise with his hands.
Pushing his way in front of the small man and then reaching towards Lilia.
"You[9]. This granny is in need of a beating--"
Lilia could only tremble while her shoulder was about to be grabbed violently.
"Wait wait wait woah, wait, don’t make trouble, don’t make trouble, don’t make trouble, and absolutely don’t touch her......!"
She wasn’t grabbed.
Hearing what the little guy said, the baldie dropped his hands.
"Big brother, why? Usually it’s always. ...... "
"You idiot! This maid, is the nanny of that Rudeus Greyrat, and the mother of his half sister. If you dare to put even a scratch on her, your entire family will be annihilated!"
Hearing that, the baldie looked at Lilia and shivered.
"Well, I'm here for business... "
"Look... if the [Mad Sword King] really came out from this house like the story--" [10]
"Hide~e"
And, that’s when the little man noticed my presence.
Without delay he rubbed his hands together and made a meek face.
"Oh, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Rudeus-san... "
It's a Nechikkoi[11] voice.
He is posing humbly in front of me and didn’t touch Lilia.
Well, I would probably get mad if that baldie even grabbed her.
No way, I wouldn't go as far as massacring them.
At least, I’m sure of that.
I don’t know about Eris.
"... Lilia-san, I will handle it from here."
"I understand, Rudeus-sama."
Lilia bowed to me, and she retreated a few steps.
She looked a bit reluctant.
"Nice to meet you, Rudeus-san. "
While rubbing his hands together, the small man bowed again.
"I’m working under the Balbard company and I was charged with this matter. My name is Kinchou."
"Nice to meet you, I’m Rudeus Greyrat."
But Kinchou?
That's like a certain drug for mosquito. [12]
"So Kinchou-san, what’s your business here?"
From what I heard, I could make a rough guess already.
It would be silly if you were to say you come for something else.
"Though I am reluctant to say this Rudeus-san, one of our beast slaves ran away. "
"Hou~, what kind of slave?"
"A daughter of the Dedorudia tribe, high battle capabilities and able to use magic. Really, the best slave. "
Oh. I already heard from Rinia.
She's the best slave.
Her evaluation is high so she must be insanely expensive.
"Then, the hunting party from our company chased after her, but they were annihilated."
"Hou~~"
Must be Eris's work.
Somehow I feel sorry for them.
A slave merchant worker, rather than exacting revenge on the murderer, they chose to track her down.
I feel helpless.
"Well, that kind of thing is an everyday occurrence to us and all part and parcel of our work. There's always victims. Without even mentioning that the other party is subordinate to the second ranked in the seven great powers [Dragon God], and an acquaintance to the next king of the Asura Kingdom....right? "
"So to say, somehow I got saved."
It looks like they’re scared of Orsted and Ariel's name.
