Atelier Tanaka Volume 4 Chapter 6 part4

Slave Sister

I didn't get much sleep last night.

Thoughts of the blonde loli sisters kept running through my mind. Ass soon as I made up my mind to buy them, my son could no longer hold back his excitement for what the future may hold and as his father I had to take care of him throughout the night

The lack of sleep this morning is the price I'm paying for the pleasant feelings I experienced last night, but I still feel good overall. The dream of a personal sex slave is within reach. This fact made the long walk to Oman's shop go buy in no time.

Where there was an earth-shattering fact revealed to me.

"Eh? You've agreed to sell them?"

"Yes, I'm very sorry, but an interested party has already agreed to purchase them…."

"I see…."

What a terrible turn of events!

This is even worse than when the taxes were stolen from me by the Prime Minister.

This is horrible.

Or so I thought, but Oman extended a small sliver of hope to me.

"That is true, however, they haven't been sold yet. The other customer is currently in the process of gathering the necessary funds. I know I don't need to mention this, but these slaves are quite expensive and the gold required to buy them isn't easy to come buy. If Baron Tanaka also has the intention to buy them and you have the money on hand, well…."

"Are you sure?"

"You did me a great service building me this store and I'd like to repay you however possible."

I feel sorry for the other buyer, but I only see one answer here.

A noble possessing the gold to purchase such exquisite examples of blond loli meat toilet slave sisters must surely have nothing good in mind for them. Someone like that purchasing them would treat them poorly. He could force them to use their mouth to service him and then force them to spread their legs and conceive his child.

How horrible. Truly despicable.

That's my job! How can any respectable man give up his job to another?

"If that's how it is, then if you would please."

"Of course."

"Thank you."

I'm so glad.

It's good that I have a previous relationship with Oman and I'm glad I decided to build his store for him right away. I'm glad that when I got back yesterday, Sophichan served my some delicious cake. I'm so happy about everything.

"This is the cost. As you can understand, the price is high."

Oman took a notepad from his pocket and wrote down some numbers.

Oh, that's more than I was expecting.

I'm still supposed to buy a present for Sophichan too.

This expense will need to be accounted for in our books as well. My maid will definitely see it. I can only imagine what she'd think about me if she saw it and, at the same time, one of the excuses I thought of last night was lost. This price is too high to justify buying them as a morale boost for the town.

"I understand. Would it be possible for me to be given a little bit of time to gather the necessary funds?"

"Yes, of course. I'll be waiting."

"Thank you for your patience."

This amount can only be earned through hard work and perseverance.

What did I do the first time I needed gold in this world? Looks like it's time to go back to the Adventurers Guild.

***

As soon as I left Oman's shop, I took to the skies and headed in the direction of Tricklis, a nearby city under the control of Earl FitzClarence. More importantly, there is an Adventurers Guild in that city. It's an organization that was relied on heavily during the previous conflict with the Pussy Republic. There was nothing else I could think of that would allow me to earn a large amount of money in such a short time.

"…."

I immediately checked the job board once I arrived.

My rank as an adventurer is still low, so if I were tor request any jobs from the Guild directly, I'd only be given jobs fit for my rank and I'd never be able to earn enough gold in time. I had to completely disregard my rank and aim for jobs posted on the board meant for only the highest-ranked adventurers.

I scanned over the board to find anything that would meet my requirements.

However, I needed something that paid extremely well and could be completed in a short time. Which left very little to choose from.

"…there's nothing."

There were several jobs that paid highly, but the problem came from how long it would take to complete a single one of them. The few that I found would take anywhere from a few seeks to several months to complete.

This won't work.

I don't have any choice but to go to Kalis. There are more people there and, therefore, more jobs to be done. No, I can't. It's only been a couple days since I fought with Richard. I can't return to the city so soon after."

I looked over the job board once more in the hopes of finding something.

When someone suddenly called out to me.

"Oh, you're that yellow guy from before."

"Eh? Ah, it's nice seeing you again."

It was the guild clerk that gave the adventurers their equipment when we were all recruited to fight in the conflict. It was easy to remember him due to his macho body and shaved head, not to mention his intimidating face.

"It's good to see you survived! I honestly didn't expect someone like you to make it back alive!"

"Yes, it was a dangerous fight, but I did my best to stay alive."

"I see, well, that's good to hear. There were so many dead left on the battlefield I never expected to see a familiar face make it through alive."

He clapped me hard on the shoulder.

Thanks to the simple traveler's clothes I wore when I flew out of Dragon City, this guy has no idea that I'm a noble. He laughed splendidly and spoke to me as if I was a regular customer.

"Seriously though, it's good to see you're safe. Good work out there."

"Thank you."

Even though he was allowed to remain safe in Tricklis during the conflict, it must have been hard sending so many young adventurers off to fight in a battle that was, at the time, deemed hopeless. Or at least that's how I felt seeing the relief on his face.

However, does this guy not even realize that we met a second time? I came to Tricklis looking for Gon-chan, but I was with Ester-chan at the time. I wonder if his attention was so focused on her that he didn't even recognize me.

"So, what brings you here? Looking for work?"

"Yeah, something like that…."

It might be a good idea to ask a pro for help. He'll be able to give me advice and suggest jobs that won't overwhelm me.

"I"m looking for a job that can earn me a lot of gold in a short amount of time."

"Oi, oi, do you really think such convenient work exists?"

"I know but I'm desperate."

"Something well paying but able to be completed quickly?"

The pensive look on his face made me think of an octopus.

The wrinkles on his forehead from his furrowed brow really complete the look.

"I'm not sure if there's anything in Tricklis that would meet your needs, but you might have better luck in Paipan. I've heard that the Lord's castle has been destroyed and the entire city is in a panic. There's bound to be plenty of work there."

"I see. Paipan, was it?"

This is the first time I've heard of it, but based off of his description, it must be the city Drill-chan rules over.

I can certainly understand why the city of Paipan would be in a panic, and it would stand to reason that there'd be plenty of opportunities there to make money. It's also not far away at all. Using my flight magic, I'd be able to get there within an hour.

"It might be difficult for you to cross the border."

"Do they have an Adventurers Guild like this one?"

"Yes, there certainly is. I can't tell you much about how they operate due to the poor relationships between our countries."

"I see. Given the opportunities that might be available there, I'd say it's worth checking out."

It'll be easier than flying all the way to Kalis and I'm also curious to see what the Adventurers Guild is like in the Pussy Republic.

"Thank you for all of the information."

"Of course, and be careful."

I thanked the macho octopus and left the Adventurers Guild.
