Jephthah returned after a while and told us that the escort slaves were gathered in another room so we were asked to go there instead to have a look.
I who was in a complete sobered up state then went to see the collection of slaves. Events that couldn’t have happened during the modern days in Japan now began to happen one right after another……
Moreover, I would be purchasing one person from there……..
It’s the other world, it’s the other world! I might have been in a strangely high spirit all of the sudden……… Although, even if I were to say that this is a different world, this situation felt really insolent since we will be purchasing someone’s whole life with money.
If I were a hero here, I might fight to eradicate all the slavery in this world. I wonder if there might have been these choices too………
But well, in the end I’m just a turkey after all…….
(TL:トルコturkey = a loser)
……Well now! Let’s be practical and buy a busty slave girl! Yeah!
This is the place. The proprietor’s trading house office is a roughly about 20 tatami mats in size with a really high ceiling. Several people who appeared to be slaves could be seen lined up together connected by a long rope inside.
Ah crap.
It’s supposed to be natural but these, are seriously what slaves are like.
They were tied up with a rope, have similar dark gloomy eyes and wore the same pretty plain white clothing that look similar to tunics.
The races for each of the slaves are different but all of them are men. There are not only human slaves but also dwarves and beast people.
Heavy……..
*smile* “How is it? If you are fine with it, I can even explain each of their vocation and escort experience in depth for you?” The owner of the trading house began explaining the comparison in detail making the atmosphere even heavier for me.
I seriously have the urge to just select any of them and escape as soon as I can but they are all male slaves there.
I wonder if the existence of a [young strong girl] only happens in the fantasy world. I suddenly started hating this other world that kept shattering people’s dream!
“What would you be doing, Jirou-san? If you are looking for escorts, you could probably select the one who is skilled in close combat, or the one who has past experience as a mercenary or even those who have registered themselves with the Hunter Guild. Those might be a good choice too. If anything I would recommend the dwarf there. He has an unusual vocation as 『Warrior』 too.” [Jephthah]
So what should I do.
[Actually I prefer having female slaves]. It would be too embarrassing for me to say this now. […..are you sane?] If I do voice my preference, he might say the same thing to me again.
Well, I’ll try to think of a good excuse then…
My eyes met Diana’s unexpectedly and I was hit by an idea. That’s it!
“Let’s see. To be honest, there is a first condition that must be met that as an escort……I require the escort to take care of this child too so it would be better for the slave to be a female of similar age to her if possible. As one would expect, it would be hard for robust looking men like them to be taking care of a young woman like her. So to somewhat compromise it, it would be fine as long as the female slave has a combat related experience. May I know if there are any that matches the criteria?” [Ayase]
Alright, a perfect logical reason! I’m even charmed by it myself.
On hearing my explanation, the owner of the slave trading house replied, “Ah is that so?” but for some reason Jephthah could be seen trying to suppress his laughter. It feels unpleasant. Damn, I don’t care what to think of this guy anymore!
“Then we shall prepare young female slaves with combat related vocations then. Our apologies but please wait for a while.” [owner]
“Goshujinsama is a pervert.” [Diana]
Leave me alone.
After that, we were told that the slaves were gathered in another room so we moved again.
