Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World Chapter 100

Skill.

A number of people have gathered near the Dobu river.

For sewage cleaning, several slaves have been gathered.
Even the slaves from around the neighborhood have been gathered as well.

No, shouldn’t that be natural?

Even just fetching water is already a hard job.
Everything’s good for me however, since I can just get water by using water wall.

Society seems to be hugely affected by the restrictions in technology.

The hierarchy between the ones who live a good life and those who support them can be seen clearly.
There are many houses that have a slave employed.

There’s also the case of science and technology restricting society.

DNA test, fingerprint system, even the blood type is not even known.

What would happen then?

If someone is doubtful just from asking questions, he’s already proclaimed as the criminal.

In this world without forensics, there isn’t such a thing as evidence either.

A confession or testimonies from eyewitnesses are all that can be relied on as evidence.
If there’s a strange person in town, that guy would be blamed as the criminal if anything ever happens.

I lived in a different world and have completely different customs with my neighbors; I don’t even remember their faces.

Even if one is established temporarily, in case something happens, it would collapse at once.

Quratar is a city where a lot of explorers are gathered.

For this world, the companionship between neighbors isn’t much either.

Nevertheless, one still needs to attend a minimal amount of regional activities.
It is troubling for those weird people in case something happens.

What happens in case a robbery or murder occurs?

They are tortured until they confess.
So that one is not unnecessarily accused, it is necessary to attend the activities.

This is what I understood from the things Sherry told me.

It is a necessary skill to live in this world.
It is the reason why I made Miria participate in the cleaning of the Dobu River.

Of course, one can refute in case of accusation of being a criminal.

A trial of ordeal or a trial of battle.

A trial of ordeal, that is to say, a trial based on God.

If the defendant is able to pick it up successfully, then the defendant is innocent, if he fails, however, he is found guilty.

There’s also having the defendant’s hand and feet bound by ropes and then dropped onto water, the defendant is innocent if he floats and guilty if he doesn’t.

As for those who are guilty, it already goes without saying.

In the trial of battle, one must fight the accuser, the witness/-es and all else who has testified.

It also saves the trouble of executing those who are guilty, so its two birds with one stone.
I would never want such a trial.

It can’t be helped since technology for investigating is underdeveloped.

Even an alibi is uncertain in this world where field walk exists.

A person was killed in a certain residence.

The suspects are the six people who live in the house.

If it’s in a TV drama then this is when an excellent detective will make its appearance, in this world’s case however, this is when an excellent dice will make its appearance.

The dice determines which is the culprit using God’s intention.

Of course, if five people’s testimonies match telling on to the one remaining guy, he will be considered as the criminal.

Because it is only disadvantageous for the accused and not those who testified, the difference in the number of people is not considered a problem.

I have three slaves who are all beauties.

I try to be as discreet as possible, blending in with the surroundings to live properly and brightly.
It is another skill necessary to live in this world.

「Master, a messenger sent by Luke has arrived. He seemed to have gotten a successful bid on a slime monster card.」

Immediately after having sent off Miria, a messenger from Luke has arrived while I was still at home.

「Which skill can be acquired from the slime monster card, Sherry?」
「When applied to protective gear, Physical Damage Reduction is applied, it is possible to fuse it as well with a kobold monster card to further the effects, but it isn’t necessary to go that far.」

It’s possible to reduce physical damage?
A slime is really a slime it seems.

「What would be good to put it on? For the time being, should we go to the merchant guild for shopping? 」

We went to the center of Quratar and bought vegetables and the monster card.

Because there’s already Poison Resistant Hard Leather Hat and Waterproof Leather Mittens, would shoes be the next one?

It’s already good enough if I’m in the rear, If I’m in the front however, I would want to equip it.

Replacing gloves can be done, though troublesome.
As for equipment I can change easily, it would be the hat.

Though there is still an empty skill slot on the Poison Resistant Hard Leather Hat, I’d rather not attach the skill there.

Once it’s known that I applied multiple skills, sooner or later everyone else will be able to do so as well up to some degree.

I handed a leather hat and the slime monster card to Sherry.

It was a hard leather hat to be applied with the skill physical damage reduction.

「I did it.」

「Well done, Sherry.」

Sherry fuses the monster card casually.
Because that was the equipment left by the thieves, there was only one empty skill slot.

I immediately equipped it and went to the labyrinth.

Three people: I, Roxanne and Sherry entered the labyrinth after a long time.

It was all right to go even to the 13th floor of Haruba’s labyrinth.

I had to receive a lot of blows coming from the demons.
It’s good to have made the Hard Leather Hat of Endurance

Because the vanguard role was left to three people including Miria, the burden on me this time is huge.

I was able to do this properly before Miria came.
That’s what I recall.

I barely dodge the rush of a Pig Hog.

Two pig hogs fall.
An enemy has disappeared in front of my eyes.

It was safe however, the one remaining Grass Bee was being kept occupied by Roxanne.

I killed it without difficulty.

Roxanne guides us to the next opponent, a pig hog and two Grass Bees.

With that, I confronted the Pig Hog.

There’s no other way, I left the Pig Hog for later.
It was a long battle, but I was somehow only able to receive just one attack throughout all that.

The following group was one Pig Hog together with three Grass Bees.

While keeping an eye on the bees that came out front, I cast Breeze Storm.

I dodge the charge attack of the Grass Bee

It’s also necessary to take caution of the Grass Bee’s Roxanne’s fighting.
I glanced at it from the side and confirmed that it wasn’t aiming at me.

It’s safe.

I twisted my body in a panic, but was still hit by its charge.

I cast a fifth breeze storm in revenge.

At the same time my body was flushed and felt painful.

Poison.

Is it because I haven’t worn the Poison Resistant Hard Leather Hat?
Probably because it’s my second time receiving poison, I was incredibly calm.

It physically hurts.

But still, the priority is to defeat the demon.
I threw a Breeze Ball towards the demon.

No, it’s wrong.

I made a mistake.
I’m actually calm enough to realize that I made a mistake.

I threw a water ball.

How much more should I throw?

I threw another water ball.

Calm down.

Sherry came in front of me.

The antidote.

The mouth-to-mouth feeding.
I try to comprehend the situation.

I embraced Sherry, giving in to my desires, I pressed onto Sherry’s lips.

On this occasion I should already be satisfied.
I should decide calmly.

I swallowed the antidote pill received from Sherry’s mouth.

I chased Sherry’s tongue sticking onto it.

The tongue of Sherry was gently responding to my advance.

I am relieved of pain gradually.

My mind also seems to have cleared.

What am I doing?

No. What happened to the demon?
Sherry released my mouth, flustered.

It was good.
The opponent seems to have been annihilated already.

「Thank you, Sherry. I’m already okay.」

I breathe deeply.

I ask Roxanne for mouth to mouth feeding of the water.
After spending ample time, I caught my breath.

The labyrinth is dangerous.

We shouldn’t overwork ourselves.

We returned to the house earlier than usual.
We’ve already done a lot of things.

I will heat the bath firsthand.

I took a bucketful of water from the bath tub that was filled using water wall and set it aside.

Since there might be a little more time before Miria comes back, I heated the water some more.

What should we do in such a long period?
I guess it should be the usual.

「I’m back, desu.」

When it was over, Miria came back.

Though it was just clothes taken on a bargain from the slave trader, she returned with it all soppy.

「I’ve told Mira to take off her dirty clothes. You’ve already prepared the water, and I’ll wash her off.」

「Is that so, that’s fine. Because Sherry and I already received some affection.」

The acknowledgement of Roxanne who was fussing over her was obtained.

「Bath, desu」

Miria entered the bath.

I washed all her places thoroughly. Without exception.
The whole body of Miria got covered in bubbles as I wash her thoroughly.

After rinsing her with water, Her hair was washed.

I washed her twice, just to be safe.
TN: Sure, to be safe..

「Miria, I’m sorry for putting you to work today.」

「Seriously?」
「Fish Want, desu」

Though we converse while washing, the conversation naturally shifts because Roxanne is not here as an interpreter.

Sherry and Roxanne came late, and also washed before entering the bath.

「You planted plants?」

「Licorice, a plant often planted in the bank of a river. The licorice has poison in the root, flower as well as the leaves, because of that animals don’t come near it. The bank is then prevented from collapsing from the burrowing. Besides, the poison comes off when washed off with water so when push comes to shove, it can be an emergency supply of food.」

Sherry explains to me about the so called plant.

There is such a convenient plant in this world.

Diver Lv31, Village chief Lv 1, Pirate Lv 1, Villager Lv 5, Merchant Lv 1, Explorer Lv 1, Warrior Lv 1, Herbalist Lv 1, Swordsman Lv 1, Monk Lv 1.

Miria hasn’t been able to acquire the Farmer job.

Or is it not to plant, but rather you should be the one to harvest?

「Sherry, please go with Roxanne and prepare soup, I’ll be cooking.」
「Certainly.」

Sherry left the bath with Roxanne.

We’re continuing.
TN: Scene change go!

「Please tell me if you want to eat anything, Is shrimp okay? What does Roxanne want to eat?」

Preparing for supper, I asked Roxanne.

I prepared ingredients and arranged it on the table.
Fish, Shrimp, Sausage, Ham and various vegetables.

The powder that was made from slime starch and shell powder was put into flour, lightly melting it in water then adding egg.

Sprinkling the powder onto the shrimp then turning on the heat afterwards.

「I , like master, also would like to eat shrimp.」

「Fish, desu」

Naturally, it would be the fish for Miria.

In other words, this would be tempura.
I applied a mixture of lemon juice and vinegar before serving it.

「Is it good?」

「It’s delicious」

I’m the only one that can use chopsticks.

This shrimp tempura can be said to be the same with the tempura from my world. There’s a crispy texture with chewy insides.

「Would you try the vegetables next?」

「I’ll try the mushrooms.」
「Fish, desu」

I used a mushroom which seems to be the same as my world’s shiitake mushrooms.
Though I haven’t deep fried it, it should taste ok.

「How about the sausages?」

「I’ll eat more shrimp.」

「Fish, desu」

…

「You guys should also eat the fish before it runs out.」

「Then I would like one fish as well.」
「Fish, desu」

Before Miria could finish all the fish, I took one and tasted the deep fried fish.

The deep-frying went considerably well.

If gluten had formed, the food wouldn’t be this crispy and crunchy.

Furthermore, Shell Powder that was the equivalent of baking soda was also used.
This would be the art of deep-frying.

TN: Apparently the kanji/symbol used for deep-frying is the same as tempura. I used deep-frying instead because I can’t imagine a fish tempura or a mushroom tempura.
