A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 400: Buying Slaves.
"Grandma, I'm here to buy it.
Takeo speaks to a slaver man.
The four young men are waiting in the alley they were first watching.
"Hmm? Ooh! Young Master, you're here fast!
To tell you the truth, I thought you might not come!
"You're a good slave, aren't you?
"Jump it off! As long as you're happy to come and buy it today!
"Well, cheaper.
Takeo and a man stare at each other in the face.
"Huh... young husband... will you still be here in two years?
"Hopefully this one is good.
"Don't hurt me... I said 250 gold coins I can't help it... how about 245 gold coins?
"Hmm..."
Takeo thinks long.
A man breathes and watches.
"... what about 240 gold coins..."
Men groan so when they lose their roots.
"Okay. Follow my husband's orders for 240 gold coins and the terms of the contract, and strike three more.
"Your young husband is a doer, too.
... um... "
Men bother.
Takeo said, "Was it too much?" and sweat cold in my heart.
"That would be good! So let's hit our hands!
"Okay.
Then you start with gold coins.
Takeo takes 240 gold coins out of the leather bag and piles them up on the spot.
The men of the slave traders as well as the shopkeepers around them keep an eye on that.
"It's 240 gold coins.
Make sure.
"Oh... oh...
Young master, I didn't expect you to pay me instantly.
"Really?
So, how do you do the contract?
"Oh... give me a minute.
Um... this is it.
The man rushes to come up with a contract.
"If you face the target slave and then put your younger husband's hand on this and say the other man's name and compliance clause and then say the younger husband's name, it is an automatic mechanism whereby both the compliance clause and the name are written on the contract.
"Okay... Grandma, have you finished counting the gold coins?
"Excuse me, just give me a few more minutes!
Young master, please read the contract!
"Yes, sir.
Takeo waited while reading the contract of slavery.
"Young master, I put the money in the safe, and it's no problem.
"Grandma, you can just put your hands on this paper and say their names and compliance clauses, and then you can say their names, right?
"Oh, yeah.
Well, I'll bring you two.
and a man brings two.
"This is Victor and this is Gina.
"Hmm... you have a beautiful face.
In Takeo's appearance, they were both slightly twisted but not skinny and had red eyes.
The man called Victor is old but middle meat mid back.
Gina is still young but I guess she will be beautiful in the future. She has a face and she didn't have a feminine body yet.
"Whoa, that's natural.
Unlike other shopkeepers, I sell beautiful bodies.
It's my policy not to lay a hand or fold a cage.
"... Victor, Gina, it's final confirmation.
I'll subordinate you two.
That's good, right?
Both snort at Takeo's words.
"Young master, you don't normally say now, do you?
Well... okay.
A man sighs.
Takeo ignores the man and puts the contract in front of two people, hands down, and talks.
"Victor, Gina, I'll tell both names.
One, obeying my orders, my husband.
2. Prohibit killing outside of my orders or my own defensive actions.
Three, prohibit actions that would be detrimental to me or my family.
Four: Be as cautious as you can in what I grieve.
Finally... enjoy life to the fullest.
In case of violation of the above, the use of 90% of the abilities such as physical ability, magic ability, etc. shall be prohibited for one week.
fulfill the slave covenant with the above.
Contractor, Takeo Kitamizato.
In response to Takeo's proclamation, Victor and Gina's body are wrapped in a pale light, while the collar glows and Takeo's name is engraved.
And the ring expresses itself on Takeo's right pinky finger.
"Are you done?
Takeo speaks to a man.
"Wait a minute, I'll check.
A man checks Gina's collar.
"You're being fulfilled.
There doesn't seem to be a problem.
A man snorts.
"So at this point, the two of you are mine, right?
"Oh, I don't mind taking you.
"Yes. Bye, Grandma. Somewhere else if I get a chance.
"Oh, I'm looking forward to two years from now.
Takeo and the others left the scene.
------------------------
"Ha... well, I guess I'm going back to the country to buy a new one.
Takeo and his men walked away and the slave traders groaned.
"Oh, sir. Looks like you were a good businessman.
I wonder if you'll be slavers, too.
The shopkeeper next door says.
"Well, I'm pretty sure you were a good customer. You didn't expect me to pay you instantly.
But the slave traders are next to each other in danger.
This time they bought a slave that looked like an adult... but if they bought a cunning slave with arms up, this one could be killed.
We need eyes to identify the slaves.
Well... whatever it is, this sets you apart.
Go back to your country and rest your bones.
The man starts messing with the store, saying he's a jerk.
------------------------
Everyone meets in the first alley we were checking.
"Good day, Lord Kitamizato, Lord Meyer.
"Tired or nothing... I was just watching..."
Meyer smiles bitterly.
"Lord Kitamizato, what will you do after this?
Arkin asks.
"Hmm... let's introduce ourselves later in the office of the Adventurers Union.
Start with two people's clothing and journey schedules.
"Yes."
Brooke answers.
"I will give Mr. Arkin 30 gold coins.
Buy clothes and what you need for your trip.
Victor, Gina, can we both ride horses?
"" Yes.
Victor, Gina nods
"Then also make arrangements for horses.
"Yes."
Brooke answers.
"Victor, Gina, the performance of earlier contracts has been fulfilled.
It is basically forbidden to kill them both.
Bear with me no matter what.
All you have to do is follow these four people and buy what you want.
"" Yes.
Victor, Gina nods
"Lord Kitamizato, what will you do with your weapon?
Bart asks.
"... I will allow up to this much knife.
and Takeo takes out his own knife.
"Okay.
Bart answers.
"Basically, you four decide what you need.
And you're treating my men, not slaves, right?
"I am well aware of it.
Follett nods.
"Yes, then everyone go shopping.
Me and Mr. Meyer are back in the Adventurers Union office first.
"Yes."
Everyone began to snort at Takeo's words.
