Part 11

Central Plaza──

At this time, there were various carts and stalls and since there were a lot of people, it was messy and gave the impression that it was cramped.

They arrived at the location they were told about.

A guard stood at the entrance. Different from the army troops and Adventurers, he had a neat personal appearance, but he wore armor that was different from that of the regular soldiers. So he was part of one of those so-called private armies.

「Do you have a letter of introduction?」

Diablo showed the letter of introduction.

It would seem that was the slave store’s name.

Diablo’s group entered the tent.

There was a fragrance of orchid hanging in the air.

They were an aged man and woman that looked affluent. Seeing as how people like that had come as customers, slaves were probably expensive.

However, the ones on the inside of the bars weren’t animals.

Dwarves, Pantherians, Grasswalkers……They didn’t see any Humans, Elves, or Demons but they were probably somewhere in there.

It was plain but, surprisingly, they wore neat looking clothes and sat in the chairs that were in the cages.

Among them, there were also some with awkward smiles.

So this is a slave shop.

He had expected and resolved himself for things like having eyes that looked like they were dead, or being on the verge of insanity.

It made it seem like the luggage carriers in the town that were made to carry heavy luggage had much more difficulties. Or it made stallholders that didn’t have customers coming close at all look like they had dead looking eyes.

Diablo made an inquiry to the girls.

「……This is the first time I’ve actually seen one……I don’t know if this place is special, or if other places are the same.」

「Me as well. Though I do have a State Knight coworker that had arrested a slave trader that did excessive ill-treatment of slaves……」

It was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

She wore a violet dress that had a deep slit, had her chest widely open, and revealed her shoulders.

That beauty walked this way while sounding her high heels.

Diablo had trouble keeping his eyes from turning towards her chest.

「My, how wonderful. Those girls you have, if you’re going to sell them, I’ll specially buy either one of them, you know?」

「Please excuse me. I am the shopkeeper of this slave store, someone known as Medios. When people come here bringing along two slaves, a majority of them come to sell one of them so──」

Medios frowned.

As if she were overpowered, Alicia froze up her body.

「I am a respectable merchant. I don’t think that I’ve done any business that would make a State Knight have to step in, you know?」

Since the State Knights were something like the police, her visit was probably wholly unexpected.

「I’m sorry. I am a State Knight, however, I have not visited here carrying some kind of suspicion……If I am being some kind of hindrance, I shall wait outside.」

「Is that true?」

「An escort? Something like that, I don’t really think that this man requires one though……?」

「Have you heard something about me?」

「Flow of magical power, you say?」

Even when he remembered the Level Measurement Examination that happened at the Adventurer’s Guild, there wasn’t anyone that could perceive the thing called the flow of magical power.

──Is it a bluff?

「I know right! You could tell at one glance that Diablo is strong!」

Medios opened up her hand.

Shera was excited and talked.

「That’s right, it looks like you really can see it.」

──So even Shera could see it!?

「……For me, I have no idea what you are talking about……I have never seen the thing that Shera calls the flow of magical power.」

「I don’t have any talent with magic.」

「Fufufu……It is the result of very rigorous training.」

Medios nodded to Rem’s question.

「……Is……is that so.」

「Huh? For me, ever since I was a kid, I was somehow able to see it though?」

──Geniuses are things that are close by, aren’t they.

Regrouping herself, Medios restarted the conversation.

「The command can be seen, you say?」

「These two aren’t my slaves.」

Medios took it, used her nail like a paper knife, and opened the seal.

For Diablo who didn’t know the letters of this world, he didn’t know what was written.

「I see, I see……Just when I thought that it was strange for that too serious Celestine introduce a customer to a slave store……Fumu, so you just want me to instruct you on how to remove the 《Slavery Chokers》, correct?」

「Well……Even for me, this kind of unique situation is a first, so I’d be hard pressed to answer if it’s possible. But there’s value in at least trying it, isn’t there?」

Next, they seized Rem.

「Nn? You……you possess an interesting flow, don’t you? Why are you constantly gushing out magical power……Are you using magic? No, this is, a different kind of……」
「……Wh, what is it?」

「You……Is there any possibility of you carrying a Demon in your body?」

「Th, this isn’t a joke!」

「Ehhh!? That’s not fair! When did that happen!?」

「Ahh! The time that he did that torture! At that time──」

「But a child is made when you go to bed with just two people alone, right!?」

*Shin* It became quiet.

Rem, who was blushing, dropped her gaze.

「Ah, that’s right.」

「Nn~, that’s true, isn’t it? But for hints of a Demonic Being to be coming from inside of a Pantherian is……」

Rem held her stomach and shrank away.

The soul of Demon King Krebskrem was sealed within Rem.

Diablo raised his voice.

Medios opened her hands so as to pacify him.

──I see, I was wondering about the details on how that Celes would have a connection to a slave trader.

Similarly belonging to the Magician’s Guild and learning, one became a Guildmaster. And the other one became a slave trader.

「That’s fine with me, but you do understand that this is a trade secret, right? I can’t tell it to you in a place like this, and I want to teach it to as few people as possible. Come this way……But only the people concerned.」

Alicia saluted.

Rem stepped back.

To be honest, Diablo had intended to rely on Rem in regards to knowledge on magic.

Putting aside the virtuous Celes, the other person was a slave trader. It was only natural that she would feel that she didn’t want her secret to be known.

「Rem, are you alright? You’re looking pale, you know? Want to go to a doctor?」

「Yeah? At times. Because of that, I thought that you were some kind of amazingly strong Adventurer. Though Diablo is totally stronger.」

「Is something wrong?」

「Isn’t that too mean!?」

「Leave her be. She’ll get better if she rests. Let’s go, we’re wasting time.」

「So you’re fine with that!?」
