Chapter 3 - A Rather Good Person?
The slave store was located in an inconspicuous place on a back street.
I think it's outrageous to buy and sell people, but that's the way it is in this other world, so it can't be helped. I don't think it's going to change anytime soon just because I objected to it. Besides, as long as the party leader decided that it was necessary for the adventure, I would go along with it even if I didn't feel like it.
「Oh,Alec-sama, welcome!」
A young-looking girl with cat ears greeted us with a smile. She has a slave crest on her left arm, and although she is also a slave, she is reasonably well dressed. So it seems that she hasn't been treated that badly.
「I've come to show me your inventory. I'd also like to know what happened to the slave I sold the other day」
Alec told me what he wanted.
「All right, I'll go get my master, please wait」
「Sure.」
We sat down on a nice sofa and waited.
Without pausing, the slaver emerged from the back. He was a big man with a vicious face.
「Well, well, well, Alec-sama, thank you for coming to my store」
The slaver smiled with a firmer hand, but there was something physiologically unacceptable about him.
「Let me see the new slave」
「Yes, well, there are only two new ones, would you like to see both of them?」
「Sure, if it's just the two of them, let's show them both」
「Yes, sir. Now, this way, please.」
I head to the back of the store and go down to the basement. There were iron bars dividing the rooms, and it looked like a prison. It seems to be clean, but ...... I still feel sorry for them.
Some of the slaves inside showed interest and peeked at us. The others remain sprawled out.
「It's this dog-eared and human woman.」
In one corner of the prison, a slaver stopped and pointed inside. There was a skinny dog-eared girl and a chubby woman.
「This slave is not good」
Alec said immediately. Hmmm, maybe he didn't like her because she wasn't that pretty? Men only look at faces and tits, you bastards!
「Hey! What is it that you don't like about me? I have bigger tits than that women!」
A chubby woman pointed at Meena and said, "I don't know why we're competing over breasts".
「No, I don't like people like that either.」
I'll be honest with you.
「Me too.」
「I can't either.」
Meena and Lily didn't seem to like her either.
「Come on, shut up. I'm sorry, sir. I thought perhaps you might like it.」
「It's face, fighting ability, and personality. I don't care how much money it costs, but the bar is high.」
Alec said, but I see, neither of the girls are built for combat.
「Yes, it would seem so.」
「So, what happened to the girls we sold the other day?」
Meme sold for 40,000 and the cat girl for 30,000 gold. They both said they didn't want to join us, so Alec sold them to this slaver. Well, they were Shin's friends before, and I'm sure he won't be too keen on them when they are the ones who fought for his life. How about you let them go? I suggested, but Alec rejected the idea.
「Yes, there are no takers for either of them yet, but they are well received and we have one reservation.」
「Oh, well, don't sell to untrusted customers. I'll buy them back if I have to.」
「I don't think there's anything to worry about. It's an order from a famous family.」
「Hmm. I didn't expect a nobleman to come here.」
「From time to time, the steward of one of our more discerning customers comes to investigate. This time, too, the butler caught her eye.」
「I see. Well, until then, treat them well.」
Alec, who handed over the silver coins, seemed to be worried about the two in his own way.
「Well, well, well, I understand. From now on, we'll include a slice of cheese with their meals.」
Cheese is cheap, but only one slice?
「I know it's none of my business, but I think you'll sell more if you feed them well and make them look healthy.」
「Yes. But if we feed people we can't sell, we'll be running at a loss.」
What does he think of people? Good grief
「If you don't find a buyer for them in another month, I'll be in Grandsword. I'll buy them back at a higher price.」
「Yes, I'll do that. Grandsword, I presume.」
「Yes.」
I'm leaving the store.
「I knew I should've taken care of them at my place. ......」
I look back at the store and say.
「I'd say so, but those two were on the lookout for me. Also, I thought there would be an interrogation coming from the royal castle」
If they're with the slavers, it seems that they decided that PK would not be charged with a crime as they were just following Shin's orders.
I thought he sold them to the slavers to get money, but it seems Alec had his own ideas. I was a little surprised.
Isn't it possible that this person is actually a kind person who just looks like that ......?
--No, no, no, Serina, don't be fooled.
He can't be nice after what he did to me. Yes, he is. He's the enemy of women.
I went back to the inn, watching him walk around with an irreverent look on his face, scratching his stubble.
