“I hope to ask your help on this too, Jephthah. Goshujinsama doesn’t have any resourcefulness currently.” [Diana]
This child just casually threw the poison out. I’ll definitely punish her later. I will definitely do so!
“Yeah, I don’t mind it if it’s just the matter about the slaves for escort. We’re at the slave trading house now anyway.” [Jephthah]
“……You seemed to have given your consent fairly fast. Although I did say I wanted a slave for escort, aren’t they actually quite expensive?” [Ayase]
“They are definitely not cheap but it couldn’t be helped if it’s necessary…… Above all Jirou-san has been the one working hard this time. I’ll feel bad if I’m the only one gaining from this so please think of this as a service.” [Jephthah]
Each and every words of his seemed to piss me off!
But I wonder why I couldn’t get myself to hate him completely till now. Could it be the natural impression from a bonbon? Rather than being devious, I had a feeling that Jephthah is more on the mischievous side.
But how do I put it, as the both of us are also the youngest child, the intuition kept coming in intensely. This will certainly not go along well.
“Then I’ll try asking the proprietor of this place for a while. Although since there is not much demand for slaves as escort, you might not have much selections.” [Jephthah]
Jephthah said so as he left the room.
Slave as escort……is it. If I were to make a contract with another new slave here, I would also have to earn more for an additional person.
I wonder if I had completely swapped to this other world by making this as base now and was just forced to move along without any procurement…….
After confirming that Jephthah has left the room, Rebecca-san who has been watching the course of events in silence all this while finally spoke out.
“Hey…..Jirou, are you alright? If you want to annul the contract with that child, I will try to find a way to do something about it. If there is a mutual agreement from both sides you will be able to annul the contract, am I right? I am unrelated to the contract but…….I do know a few 『methods to make someone do as told obediently』.” [Rebecca]
Rebecca-san was looking at Diana with a really brutal gaze that hasn’t been seen before till now.
Wa, scary.
Even the seemingly naturally air-headed Diana who wasn’t timid ended up averting her gaze.
“……..Thank you very much Rebecca-san. But, I have given a thought about it myself. I was thinking if I could try doing my best without overexerting myself this time. At the very least, this girl would do her part and work in moderation as well….right?” [Ayase]
“I-I will definitely do my work properly! The spirit was the one who changed the contract arbitrarily so it wasn’t my fault.” [Diana]
“Fuun~…..that’s true. Well, it’s my principle to not interfere with a man’s work as much as possible. But……Jirou, if you’re ever in trouble just let me know alright?” [Rebecca]
“Yes. Thank you very much.” [Ayase]
Rebecca-san is so dependable……But being too dependable at any time makes me feel like depending on her more……
