A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 396: Mia's First Mandate... Ask the Slave for his Opinion.
Around the time Takeo and the others spoke to the men.
Mia and the others were lurking and crouching in the alley just beside the man.
"Now, Lord Mia, Lord Tama, be careful.
If you need anything, run here and come back.
I'll run away with you.
Brooke speaks to Mia and the others.
"Yes."
"Nha."
The little ones nod before starting to act.
Arkin and Brooke didn't mind saying, "Ah... I'm worried about the way my child used me for the first time".
"The lords are talking well, aren't they?
"Nha."
I'm sensing signs by Mia's senses, but in fact, by race... more importantly, by individual, the signs feel different.
Broadly speaking, Takeo and Alice. Human signs are feeling soft, Ku is feeling high pressure, and his balls are feeling watery.
I can't say much in words, but with the rough difference + alpha, Mia feels what kind of race there is.
"Hmm... I think you've definitely met this sign somewhere.
Mia, I was walking worried, and I was getting to the exit of the alley.
"My balls keep the street side out of sight of me from a lot of people. We'll go along the wall, won't we?
"Nha."
My balls snort.
Start moving along the wall with your balls while hiding Mia and get right behind the slaves.
"Hello."
When Mia speaks, two of the slaves look back in surprise.
"Hmm?... I still think I saw him somewhere, even if he was around here...
Um... where is it?
"Are you a fairy?
A woman... a girl speaks more bossy.
"Yes, it's Mia. Best wishes.
This one's got balls.
"Nha."
Two little ones greet each other.
"You're a fairy... you met once at the Imperial Castle of the Demon King.
Old men also speak up bossy.
"Oh... so that's when you went with your parents?
I've only been there once, too, and... Hmm? I mean...
Is it some kind of chief or representative that we met inside the royal castle?
"I don't know why this is happening, but...
Count and lord... no one will believe me... "
"Well... I guess so.
I've never even heard the Count become a slave.
Oh, yeah, yeah. My lord is the one talking to my husband here right now.
"... you're a slave too?
"No... you're my man.
I get a lot of delicious stuff.
"Yes..."
and I hear a conversation between Takeo and the slave trader.
"... I'd like to get my purchase back from my monthly salary and cancel my slave contract if the repayment ends.
"I see... your young husband is kind..."
"And the Lord thinks.
Mia comes proud to say.
"You're a good husband..."
Says the girl with a sense of grandeur.
"The Lord also told me to ask you what your purpose is... is there anything?
"Purpose... I want freedom..."
"I want freedom too... but now I want to meet a good Lord.
I'd like someone like your husband to pick it up.
"Let me tell you that.
By the way... the Lord serves the Counts of the region facing the Demonic Kingdom.
The two turn their stunned faces to Mia.
"But the lords are not willing to wage war themselves.
Can you swear you won't act on your own when you're under the Lord's command?
Again, in the unlikely event of a war, can you fight your countrymen?
If that's going to be protected, I'm going to mainly hope to buy you guys.
"... it's..."
A girl looks in trouble.
"I can swear I won't act on my own.
But... I'm sorry, but... if he asks me if I can fight, I think I can fight, but I don't think I can kill him.
I can't put my countrymen... in the hands of the people.
How's your lord, Fairy?
"... relentless if you turn to the enemy. Well, we fairies aren't on the battlefield because we're not going to be a force for war.
Besides, the lords say the war of aggression is pointless.
It will be when the war is invaded.
The enemy I've set up is an enemy that I believe is my compatriot.
Mia answers seriously.
"Yes... you're strong.
Is your husband strong?
The girl asks.
"Yes, the Lord is undoubtedly top notch in the human race.
The food is delicious, and your family treats me like a family.
Your family seems to think it's their happiness that the inhabitants are laughing.
"You're a good family.
A girl returns a laugh.
"Oops... we talked too much.
I will tell the Lord, then, as I did earlier.
Oh, it's final confirmation.
Are you both willing to come to the Lord?
Mia listens.
"I'd like to go... and I'd just like to thank you for offering us the conditions to be free right now.
"Right... I don't mind drinking everything except that I can't kill my compatriots or my daughter.
Let's swear we won't act on our own.
"Okay.
That the Lord will listen to my opinions if you wish, and that you will not be sold first.
Okay, balls. We're going, right?
"Nha."
Mia and her balls go back along the wall again.
"Father.
"Oh, I'll leave you to luck later.
While the two slaves missed Mia and the others a little, they could see a little hope for tomorrow and get angry back on their faces.
------------------------
"I'm back -.
"Nyer."
The little ones go into the alley and say hello.
"Lord Mia, Lord Tama, welcome back.
Were you okay?
Brooke speaks to Mia and the others.
Arkin is on guard around him.
"Yes, I've been listening properly.
"Really? Really?
Let's go report to Lord Kitamizato!
And, Brooke can hold two little ones and put them in the backpack.
"Best wishes.
"Nha."
The little ones said relaxing in their backpacks just like they did when they came.
