Isekai de Slow Life wo (Ganbou) Chapter 1 part14

When three people leave the room and I become alone with Yāshisu. And Yāshisu say that,

[So, while waiting for them, shall we talk about slavery?]
[Is it okay with that?]
[Yeah, you seen to have less knowledge about slave. So, that is only if you want to understand it.]
[Yeah, I definitely want to know about it]

It's great to understand about slaves since I have plan to buy more of them to use for employee from now on.

[Then, first thing to check before is that customer is “Drifter”. Right?]
[Yes, I am ...... How did you know that?]
[First of all, it is clothes. It is a structure that I do not see here, and I do not know what fabric is. And also, this is something that even children are already know about it. Those who don't know about children in a rural village or the daughters of a noble family raised with butterflies and flowers. Customers do not act like either of them.]
[So, that's it.......]

Is “Drifter” are found commonly near here?
Does that mean there will many people other than Hayato and me?

[ is there any different if it was “Drifter”?]
[Yeah. With this, I was able to solve the mystery. I feel refreshed now.]

What? I thought if customer is “Drifter”, there are some kind of rule to buy slave or they are prohibited to buy slaves or something. In the end, you just want to find out whether I am “Drifter” or not.

[Then I will explain in detail.]

Yāshisu seen to try end the talk about “Drifter”. Did you really just want to solve mystery in your mind? I feel probably there are other motive.

[In slaves, there are different type. Debt slave, criminal slave and later is special slave. All types of slaves are prohibited in doing two things. Slave mustn't do extortion and harm owner.]

I kinda understood being in debt and become slave. A criminal will also be like that.
Regarding special slaves ... I don't know.

[ First one is debt slave. They are prohibited to use in brothel, combat and extortion. And unreasonable labor work is prohibited. If you try to break rule, you will get penalized. These are set at the time of contract, so if there is a violation it cannot be hidden.]
[Does that mean making slave is kinda like skill?]
[Yes. With the skill called “contract”. This skill cannot be done without mutual consent. This does not change no matter how high you raise the level, so coercion is impossible.]

Unexpectedly, human rights is properly protected.
Well, whatever. I've never seen a slave being whipped in the city.

[Many debt slaves will like to continue to work without being released, because they are often led to somewhat better lives than they did in the past. Even remaining family will not buy back as if they already know about it. Since they are related with debt, so I wonder how many years will take for them to buy back.]
[In customer, most of them are noble?]
[No, there are a lot of time where we sell them as labor in merchant place. But in debt slave, owner need to guarantee for their meal and shelter and also if they are dead early, there will be investigation. So, at least owner must guarantee 2 meal by a day and let them rest if they are sick. As slaves, there are many people who want to be purchased by aristocrats, but they are not very popular with aristocrats.]
When I heard noble and slaves, I can only imagine them buy a lot of good-looking woman. I don't know why that a noble don't buys a slave.

[By the way, what happens to the conditions if you release it?]
[It is usually leave to decision of buyer. However, if it is a criminal slave, investigation will come from the country.]

So that's it. I think if you have contributed to some extent, you can release it.
If it was criminal slave, it can't release with buyer decision.
Well, that's true.

[Now, although it is a criminal slave, most of the above rights do not apply to the criminal slave. And when we sell it, we have to inform the crime of slave to the buyer.]
[Most things are prohibited mean they are guaranteed to some extent, right?]
[Yeah. However, extortion of crime is of course prohibited. And for men, there are no limits on working hours. Sleep time and a minimum of one meal are guaranteed, but the rest is at the buyer's discretion. Most women become prostitutes, but they are sent to mass stores, which are also called cleaning rooms, and their lives are not guaranteed.]

Ooh ... It pretty toughs on criminal slaves.

[Criminal slaves also do not have the right to choose a buyer. Instead, the selling price is cheap, so it is better to buy it on the assumption that it will be used up.]

.......It is important to understand which slaves I should buy.
But there may be demand. Hard work is in every world.

[Finally, special slaves, but in the case of aristocrats, royal families, and others who become slaves for certain reason. It seems that this time Ainsama will also be a special slave]

Ho. Ainsan also too. That...

[that? Did you mean why Ainsan happen like this?]
[Yeah. Actually, I heard it from Reinrich-sama first thing in the morning. But when I told them about this, it seemed like they become nervous, so I was silent.]
[Ohhh ...]
[Please be assured that we are fair from Reinrich-sama.]

That's good.
I thought it is because Reinrich could put pressure on Yāshisu.

[Are you sure me want to continue talking?]
[Yeah. Please]
[Subordinate contracts and free contracts can be selected for special slaves.]
[Dependence and freedom?]
[Yes. Dependents basically follow their masters to sleep and eat, so we have to guarantee their lives. However, in the case of a free contract, in relation to the master and the slave, in relation to the slave, the slave will continue to live as before and contact and order in advance when necessary. In the case of a sudden order, the slaves' work will be given priority, and if it is an unreasonable order, it can be rejected. ']

From what I've heard, the free contract seems to be awkward to use it. But it's easy to have to guarantee to do what they want.
I don't have a home now, so I think this free contract is enough contracting with Ainsan.

[In the case of a free contract, you make an arrangement after consulting the price for one order and they will be released if they reached the purchase amount.]

So that's it.
With that, it makes it hard to use.

[Next are the aristocrats and royalty, but the reason they are special is the price.]
[price? I think it's expensive, but would be a rich man or nobleman if you buy it?]
[Yeah. Most of the same aristocrats buy nobles and royalty. Sometimes it is only bought by big merchants to show off their wealth]
[Of course. Why do nobles become slaves in the first place?]
[There are cases in which slaves are delinquent due to liability issues due to house turmoil, etc., and cases in which a crime is committed and slaves are exiled from the kingdom by royal order.]
[But in the case of aristocrats, the slave merchant must take responsibility for choosing buyer.]
[What does it mean?]
[...... A certain aristocrat purchased aristocrat who become slave in past. It was widely well-known, but a month later, the slave was found dead. The corpse had traces of severe assault, and some infections had occurred.]

Wow...... It is grossly story.

[That slave seem to had refused marriage from an aristocrat. Of course, she refused to be a slave to an aristocrat. However, the nobleman forced her to take the remaining family as a hostage and enslaved her, and such a horrible incident occurred. Since then, slave owners of aristocrats and royalty have been given the responsibility of oversight. If a nobleman tries to apply pressure, the kingdom will destroy the nobleman. Of course, slave traders also get penalties, so they are run away from it.]

So that's it. That means the price will be higher.
If they sold cheaply to a weird guy, they will get problem if there is bad situation occur.

[Somehow, slave traders are also quite tough ...]

A selfish daughter of nobleman may come. In such a case, the hardships on taking care on those people will make them fall down.

[No. No. If you are a slave merchant, there are one or two customers you can trust, so you can consult with that person first. Customers If you wish, please tell us.]
[...... Is it still two days that we met?]
[To be frank, it's just an intuition. However, this tells me that the intuition of the merchant is not a problem. I could rely on this intuition to create the best slave trading house in this city. So, I trust only my intuition and money.]

Intuition that he said......
Speaking of which, Ainsan also said that she was okay with her intuition.

I heard the sound of knocking on the door four times, and Wendy-san and Ainsan, while Solte returned.

[It looks like it's over. It's just fine that Wendy should sit here too.]
[I thankfully accepted]

Then, Wendy-san sits in front of me, Ainsan and Solte sit on both sides, but Solte is leaking from his mouth without saying anything but making sound like “Uoo”, “Arr”.
Ainsan was also staring up somewhere with her face turned red.

[Ainsan?]
[Unnhyaa! What is it, my liege?]

Ainsan replies while giving a strange voice that doesn't look like her.
What happened in the back room ...?

[Then please show me.]

When Yashisu receives the documents from Wendy-san, he wears the glasses from his chest pocket.
He read it diagonally from the top to the bottom and read it as quickly as possible, and he spread the paper on the desk and look around.

[Are you able to read words?]
[Well. Yup. It looks okay]
Seen like I can read the characters in a different world.
Normally, I think I can't read or write.
But I could read it clearly.

[That's good. First, stat explanation from about Ainsan. As for Ainsan, the housework is “△” for combat and sexual intercourse are “〇”. Have a great look, has no sexual experience and the style is outstanding if it will contract with subordinate contract, it will cost 35 million Nord. In free contract, it is about 6 million Nord. I guess?]

What I will do with Ainsan is special contract. Well, it was planned to be a free contract. Is it just fine?

[ Prices have quite far range.]
[Yeah. If the case is “〇”, there is a big difference between the subordinate contract and the free contract.]

Is that so. It seems that if slave is subordinate, they will do as much as I want. Well, that's the case of subordinate slave.
For people like me going to use free contract, it is not my concern.
[Next is Mr. Solte, but the housework is “×” and the Combat is “〇” and also, sexual intercourse is “×”. It looks good, but the style is honestly immature for its age. Since sextual intercourse is also “×”, it is a place where 10 million Nord is subordinate and 4 million Nord under free contract.]

The big difference in prices in subordinate and free contracts is not the appearance, but the fact that the depend on “◯” or “×”. Even so, in the free contract, how much is emphasized where there is not much expensive.
Even so, they worth 6 million and 4 million.
Seen like Reinrich predicted that it needs to be 10 million worth by combining of these two girls.
With this, it going need to provide more supply.
All I have to do is to save the cost of buying a house, buy slaves, and utilize in farming skills to leave work to employees and live with a self-sufficient life.
Just leave it to the employee.
Let the employees do the work, and I will spend my time exploring my pocket money skills! Neutrally, it will be in town.

[Wait a minute. Is Solte still a child for her age?]

It looks like a teenager. Moreover, starting from head to stomach.

[No, no. She's already grown up, you know?]
[What?]

No. No. No.
The height is small, the face is young, and the chest is flat.
The waist is not constricted, it's just thin, and if you say it strongly, it's probably that the tail has a nice coat of hair.

[The werewolf's race is this tall at when they mature. But especially among them, the chest is small]
[Isn't it too childish for being small?]
[Yeah. Even if small, this is already a good adult.]
[You guys are noisy! Form I heard it from a while ago, it was a small, and small! Chest is an obstacle to battle! Those guys and that guys, all they say is chest! Growing up is an obstacle in an adventure! Even Aina changes her armor every time her chest gets bigger, it's a waste of money! Understand?]

Oh, Yes.
Are you spilling out your feeling?
Even through you making sound like “Arr” and “Ugg”, you overreact when you heard “small”.
That why, I will say this word to you.

[Feel jealous?]
[Gao!]

It hurts! This girl bits my arm!
After all, she's a child!
Come on, let stop there! My HP is low you know!

[You're on good terms with Solte ...]
[By the way, is Ainsan a flame human race?]
[That's it. Officially, only half of the flameman's blood is mixed]
[So that's it. Are you come here as descendent of Scorching Flame?]
[...... It's just Aina right now. I have been lived as a person for long time]

Aina looked sad.
I know there is something to guess. But,

[It hurt you know! It time to go off. You dog girl!]
[Gau Gau Gau Gau! (I'm not a dog! I'm wolf!!)]
[I don't understand what you are saying. Ah, it no use. I starting to feel faint]

Ah. Hey! This girl is really child! More like brat! It's still in the lower grades, let alone the age!

[So, you're from Flame human race? Is that everyone's hair red like Ainsan?]
[Yeah. Crimson hair is said to be a proof of the flame human. But red hair doesn't mean that they are flame Human.]
[I see. But Ainsan was good at being a flame human. You look great.]

Red hair looks good on Ainsan's sharp look.
To be honest, I don't feel like I'm used to other hair colors.

[I see. Most people are afraid it]

Something happened in the past ... It's a typical story.
There is a high possibility that people who dislike flame human race and feel bad attachment to them.
But I don't know that, and when I see Ainsan, who have blood of the fire human, I think she's a foolish and serious woman.

[so, let's get back to main topic. Shall we start contract?]
[Ah, if possible, I want to finish it today.]
[First of all, please confirm the contract details with both parties.]

Is it to decide rule for special slaves?

[The contract method may be a free contract. Aina is an adventurer, and she doesn't need to be forced into subordination]

And if you can live as usual, I'll be less likely get attacked.
If there is an attack, there is no escort, so it's a one-shot out, but I think that the possibility is low.
Anyway, Ainsan would have been explained by the guild anyway, and if something should happen, she would know that Reinrich is not going to be silent.
Reinrich-sama, you are truly guardian. I can't go against you majesty.

[No, but ...]
[I think I can't do many things if I do subordinate contract. Especially like reasonable thinking]

With this Ainsan's face turn red and she slumped her face.
What on earth happened in the back room?

[It's a free contract. In that case, consent from party members]
[Of course, it's okay! It would be natural if I could continue our adventures and protect Aina from the poisonous fangs of this guy, right?]

Whose poison fang is it? Far from poison, I don't even get sick!

[Are you two are Red Front Party member?]
[Yup. Two people now. There is one more person but now that person is out of PT for a while for its own business]
[Then the terms of agreement from the members are okay. Right? Next is the repayment method.]
[Isn't it okay with normal price?]
[isn't it. The selling price is the end price of the market price. Then, do you have any other requests?]
[Not particularly. Oh wait! I want you to sell me priority when you find rare materials other than when you are asking for material collection]

First of all, I don't want to go on an adventure, so it's hard to come across rare materials.
For the time being, if you can't find a way to use it, just sell it elsewhere.

[Of course, it doesn't matter. It's alright, right? Solte]
[Yeah. It fine]

I get permission form party member Solte so I don't have anything to request.

[So.......then, what should we do about sexual course?]
[Ah……]

Even if you ask, it will be problematic.
To be honest, I would be happy if you telling me is true.
But is it okay to say that through my mouth?
It looks like I am using my position to force her to say it.
No. Truly, I'm really happy if it is truth! Look! I am also a man after all!

[Hmm ... I will leave it to you. If you want ... it's okay]

I ran away!
I will leave it to her! That's impossible!

[I see. Yup. I'm happy if you could say like that]

After all, Ainsan may have been anxious.
You said you were inexperienced.
I think I have to do this kind of thing properly.

[So, are all the above conditions okay? Shall we start contracting?]
[Yep]
[Yes]
[Of course!]

With this, we contracted?
But is it okay to not write in memorandum or agreement?

[What should I do?]
[Pull out one hand and stack each other. Please place by following Ainsan, Solte-san, and the customer at the top.]
[Me too? Is this okay with this?]

We stack our hands as the way he tells us.
I felt piss off when I touched the back of Solte's hand, but it can't be helped ...

[Then I swear this contract in the name of the Kingdom of Rashiayu.]

《Contract Execution》

When Yashisu puts his hand over it, light shines on the back of my hand.
There was no pain, but the light went straight through the hands of the three of us, and once it shined big, it converged.
The light has settled down, and when you look at your hand, some pattern is engraved.

[what's this. A tattoo?]
[This is crest of the Kingdom of Rashiayu. This mark indicates that the contract was officially sworn in the name of the Kingdom of Rashiayu, and is a proof of possession of slaves.]

Rashiayu Kingdom? I don't know much, but in short, it's a decent contract. That what I think.

[I don't feel anything in particular ... did I really become a slave?]
[Yeah. Would you like to try it on?]
[Ah ... what should I do?]
[Now try to kill your master]

What?
Hey, you Solte! Don't pull out your spear!
You are filled with killing intent to me.

[I will take that neck. Owwwww! It hurts, it hurts! My head hurts! Why?! Why?!]

Suddenly, Solte releases the spear and holds her head with both hands and begins rolling around.

[Excessive violence and murder mainly by slaves will result in forced punishment and they will stop. Please be careful because doing thing that master does not allow will cause a headache as a punishment.]
[Why am I being included?! I'm not even this guy's slave.]
[No ... You have registered ... You just confirm it. Right? In the case of a free contract, party members are also bound together]
[I didn't say that! Definitely, I'm not saying it!]
[Was that so? But you've already sworn. In order to cancel it, you pay out the debt of 10 million Nord.]

Yashisu looks at this for a moment.
......This guy did this on purpose.
But it helps. I will not have to worry about being attacked by Solte.

[Waoooon! You will be painful in future. I promise! I don't feel like killing!]

This dog girl does not learn.
[If I keep refusing to buy from this guy, will it stay like this for the rest of my life?]
[Yes of course]
[Alright, I heard something good]
[Hey You! Lie? You're joking, right? I hate you as a slave for life!]
[It depends on your attitude. You dog girl. Next time you try to think of killing me, it will happen again.]
[Kuun ……. I understand. If you don't do anything weird to Aina, I won't kill you.]
[I will not. I will only ask for collecting material. And it has been have decided by contract that it depend on Ainsan's desire.]
[I see. That's right. I can't give Aina. I'm fine. At best, I'll take good things and finish them right away.]
[Yes. Yes. I'm waiting with expectation.]
[...... After all, it seems like you can get along with Solte]

In this way, I was able to finish the contract safely.
Next place we will go is the adventurer guild.
Either way, I'll need to report to the Guild master of the Adventurer's Guild, and I have Reinrich's errand so let's finish it then.

[Well then, both of you. Best regards from now]
[Ah. Best regards to you, my Liege.]
[I will say you as “master”. Just being call "you" is enough for you]

It doesn't matter, but I don't want this girl to call me master.
No, someday I'll definitely make you call by harassment.

Chapter end
