A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 891: Trouble 2 (hmm? Things are not what they were supposed to be. )
"Ooh! Uncles! It's a beautiful day!
Takeo and the others were semi-surrounded by 14 young men, one of whom was speaking and coming.
Takeo and the others watch without saying anything.
Precisely either (...) stands ready to respond.
The place is where my legs are out of the grass, supposedly dragons.
Takeo can quickly deploy his shield even if he suddenly strikes here, and if he has company nearby, it will be hard to become a beast. And if it's a separate group, let's just run away... in fact, we all think that it doesn't matter a lot if we stay away or close to becoming adults, but the super sweet idea that we won't involve our people was so close together.
"Hmm?... Hey... Grandma, how long have you been asleep?
Get up. "
When the man said so, lightly poking the feet of those sleeping on his feet, he put on a collar (...) An old woman stood up and went behind the men.
Takeo and the others said, "Huh? That's the dragon, isn't it? What are you doing, man?" I'm surprised.
But now I'm almost certain that I'm one of them.
"Ahhh... we're philanthropists working around here, but...
Uncles, I was wondering if you could make a little donation for the community?
Hey, I'm not trying to strip you of your clothes.
From what I've seen, uncles, you seem to have money.
So why don't you color it a little?
Watching Takeo and the others as the man nibbles.
"... mmm..."
Takeo starts thinking about this situation first.
I wonder if it's different from a group led by a dragon (...).
And maybe make it look that way.
... Well, I don't know what's going on.
"Hmm? Uncle, what do we do?
It doesn't hurt now, does it?
That's what the men say, but Meyer and the others are waiting while they observe Takeo move, who is supposed to negotiate.
"... I'd like to ask you one thing?
Takeo asks as he thinks.
"What? You ready to pay?
"That's... well... wait a minute.
We are from the kingdom of Azpur, are women slaves now?
"Hmm? Azpearl Kingdom... haha.
Yes, this is the slave. Are you seeing this for the first time?
"Heh...
How did you get it?
"It's a market.
"Market? Is it someone that old who is being sold?
"Hmm? No, no... Ah! That's about it for everyone!
You can buy it if you want your uncle too.
"... mmm...
Some of you are young, aren't you?
"You're there, but expensive.
"Is it expensive... mmm..."
Takeo pretends to be troubled.
"Uncle, would you like to try and buy our grandmother?
You should get used to the treatment of slaves.
"... accustomed?
"Oh. Do that. If I tell you to do this, it'll work pretty good.
It moves slower than the younger one, but I try to be considerably more comfortable with it.
Once I tell you, you're right.
Young people don't listen to high habits.
"Is that what it is?
So, because how much will you give away?
"Ki... how about 90 gold coins?
"Huh!? 90 gold coins!?
Takeo is surprised as he puts a wrinkle between his eyebrows when the man presents the amount.
"Shh... wait a minute.
Gather around! "
Takeo turns his back on the men and rounds up with Meyers to start the meeting.
------------------------
The men get together and start talking.
"Hey! Whatever it takes, Grandma won't have 90 gold coins.
"That's right. Isn't it 30 gold coins because they were originally used?
Because I bought it for the first time, we tried it and bought it.
Besides, my grandmother didn't say anything she couldn't (...) talk about.
"I'll triple the boulder.
"We're not real people either... but I don't know three times as many boulders...
I know how many good and bad things you do because you don't know slaves in other countries.
"Ugh... shut up.
Though high would be basic at first!
Sounds like that surprise. If we make it a compromised amount, we'll be fine.
"Negotiate properly.
The men sighed.
------------------------
Takeo and the others.
"Why 90 sheets?
Mia, are you sure it's a dragon?
"Lord, that is an absolute dragon.
Same as Ku or Ku's sister.
"If Mia speaks up, is the race definite?
How much did you guys think you were asking?
"I thought maybe 250 gold coins for the sum of Lord Victor and the others.
"I thought it was over 150 gold coins.
It looks like Meyer and Andersen imagined the other four to the same extent and are nodding.
"How much did you think the director was?
"It's about the same.
Between 250 and 400 gold coins.
However, if you are the age you seem to be, you will be old, so I assume that more than 150 gold coins is an easy assumption, as Mr. Andersen thought.
Either way, is that 90 gold coins?
Takeo worries.
"What does the director want with buying a dragon?
"Do you remember the artificial lake business we talked about before?
"Yes.
I remember it was one end of a new logistics network.
"Yes, that's it.
When you explore a new place, the demons are likely to come closer.
I want to live in a demon with a good eye.
I thought I'd ask Ku, but you seem to be able to secure a replacement personnel.
"I know what the director wants to do.
But I don't think it's too cheap for anything.
Isn't there some kind of flaw?
"Missing... I just saw a little, but you were walking two legs, weren't you?
Did you have... arms?
"I had both arms, both legs.
Is it one eye or something? And then you say one arm or one foot doesn't move satisfactorily?
"Hmm... if that's about it, you can become a beast and you can intimidate without any problems.
The problem is the mental system... suddenly ferocity or something is annoying, right?
"Director, what will you do then?
"... well... if you're human, if you keep typing in Elek so you don't wake up, you'll be asleep, so if you throw it in between relationships in that state, you'll take control of the rest with soldiers from both countries.
"That's an evil place to work.
"... you can't fight a runaway dragon in this face, can you?
Takeo says as he looks at everyone's face.
"Yeah."
Everyone turns their faces.
"For now, it's too late to buy it and then think about it... er, did you have the money?
Takeo checked inside the leather bag.
