I Shall Survive Using Potions!

"What the fuck!

A man who came to the cell screamed when he saw us in the game.

I've been in the room, not someone who looks like a leader, or who was on guard until just now, about twenty years old, another person.

And what we're doing is, reversi. It's a board game very similar to Othello's. The plates, the stones, my handmade. Oh, stone, that means pawn. The one in black and white.

Where the hell did you hide it?

"Huh? You had it from the beginning, didn't you?

That's what I said, indicating the leather bag I put on the floor.

"Huh..."

The man opened his eyes and stared at the bag with a glimpse.

And after a while.

"Oh... did you?

"Isn't that right?

…………

I'm not convinced, the man sat in the chair. Because of this, I made it a small bag the size of which the board would never enter, but they didn't notice. Damn it.

And a while later.

"... what the hell are you eating?

"As you can see, it's a large skewer and bread, and grape (grape) juice?

"Where did you get it out of!

"From this bag..."

"Come in. Ahhh!!

The four children in the cage were all grabbing large skewers of grilled and bread in their hands, with large cups of grape juice under their feet. Sure, there's no way all of them are in small bags. Normally.

"Oh, here we go, right? Everybody, put back the finished skewers and cups ~"

"" "Ha-ha!

And one bag after another, an oversized skewer and four cups.

"Ha, you can't be here! There should be. Hey!!

When he shouted so, the man jumped out of the room with his bloody eyes running with fear. Just like the first man.

Maybe they'll call the leader again.

The key to the jail is held by the leader, and the guard cannot open the jail himself.

If you consider the possibility that a stupid watch could be tricked into snatching the key or trying to get your hands on a commodity, that is an extremely reasonable response. If anything happens, we need to go get the leader.

"Not again! Now what the hell!

"Oh, those guys, they have something funny..."

"Which one?

"Oh, um..."

And of course, in jail, it's just us. No wonder bags, no cups with grape juice, no playboards, nothing.

…………

"Don't be ridiculous! You guys are making fun of me!

The leader's man yelled.... not us, of course, but the second watch man.

"You call me every time you sleep and dream, you guys! No, before that, who sleeps on the lookout in the first place! No matter how many children you are, what the hell do you think of your mission as a lookout!

... Something like new employee education has begun.

I wonder if they'll scream in front of the station after this. Oh, I don't like it!

No, leave that.

"You guys have bags, playboards, skewers?

Sieve, sieve.

Shut up and shake your head to inquire about the leader, the four of us.

Oh, my eight-year-old has a skewered sauce on his cheek...

"... come"

The watchman disappeared into the next room with his leader pulling his ear. The sauce didn't seem to notice, for Christ's sake.

"All right, in the meantime, I'll explain my next operation!

"" "Yeah!

"... what the hell..."

I showed up complaining about the bumps, watching part 3, about the first half of a 20-year-old platform.

"My turn was supposed to be tomorrow... Damn, I should have just gone out for a drink."

"Um, who were those guys earlier?

"I'm preaching to the leader upstairs. Damn, I slept all together and made a scene in a nightmare, you idiot..."

That, unlike the two previous ones, speaks to me friendly. Do you like talking, or do you like kids... then why don't you do this kind of work?

No, I'm not a professional, do you sometimes just happen to be getting this kind of job right now? Anyway, I won't miss the chance to gather information!

"Um, what are we going to do..."

In an anxious voice, I asked. Of course, it is an example of a "first-daughter pose" that brought the fists of both hands before the jaw. If I don't use it now, I don't know when the next opportunity will be available. I use it all the time here.

"Ah... oh, don't worry, you won't be harmed, and you won't be in danger of your life.

Maybe I can live a pretty good life without starving.

I may be allowed to work as much as a maid with my husband, but it's not a heavy labor. If you're adorable, there's a chance you'll let me live like four poor junior aristocrats. I envy you... "

If you live that day, and if you get caught, from a hanging criminal, I guess that's really an enviable life. The man on watch number three said so in a tone of sincere envy.

But that's, that's me, isn't it?

Playing slaves, playing slaves, playing slaves, playing slaves...

It's a crime.

No, at the time of the kidnapping, it's already a complete crime, but in addition, slavery other than criminal slavery, at least in countries around here, is illegal. Sell, buy, or use.

Criminal slavery, in the name of slavery, is a kind of prison sentence.

There is no favorite country to do charity like locking you up in jail and feeding you free (free) rice, so even if it's not such a big sin, you're easily condemned to death. Then it's not much, and it's a waste of human resources.

So the death penalty equivalent is mine slaves or assault personnel if in time of war. Assault personnel are considerably better than mine slaves who twitch to death because if they survive hands-on, they are eligible for commutation and amnesty.

Others have lifelong slaves equivalent to life sentences, slaves equivalent to prison sentences, etc., but anyway, slaves are only criminals. And the children born of slaves become very ordinary civilians because they are not criminals otherwise. It's just that parents are criminals.

And minors are properly investigated if their criminal activities were not ordered by their parents or other adults or were unavoidable to live.

In other words, it was an illegal slave and a felony unless there were extra circumstances, such as a girl slave under the age of ten. all persons involved in them, such as trading, holding, etc.

This means that some information leaks can be gripped and, if there is a caller, erased. Without that kind of person about the buck, it's dangerous and I can't do very much.

Yeah, that's the thing.

"Um, where are you going to be taken..."

When I asked him that in a meticulous voice, he briefly told me whether he thought it was okay because he would find out later anyway.

"Oh, it's a mansion of local lords and mid-sized merchants from all over the country. Wang Du is dangerous and out of the question, and leading nobles and big merchants don't risk that. You don't have to do that, because with money and power, it doesn't matter as much as a good looking girl who's a minor.

So it's a little bad to be forced to eat or grab a local child, and a little subtle country power, without a rival of your own. "

"Ahhh..."

Understood.

Then these four destinations could fall apart. Then we have to finish this before we leave this city.
