Matthias' shop was along the main street. It's a big brick house. I mean, I feel overwhelmingly bigger than any other store around me.
Isn't that the inn? Oh, no, if many slaves live there, is this size normal?
You know, around setting up a grand shop like this, slaves are really recognized by the public.
"Welcome, welcome to White Wolf Fountain"
It was the male employee who bowed his head in awe.
He looks about thirty and wears a collar.
... Right, is that the collar of a slave?
That was in Mr. Daijiro's book, too. Will wearing that make me absolutely obedient to my husband's orders?
Nevertheless, the man in front of you doesn't look pale, he doesn't have any visible injuries, he looks clean.
Hmm, well, around the time you're serving customers, why don't you put down a guy who doesn't look good?
"He is my guest. Now, Master Ichinojo, please go back."
Matthias urged me to move into the back room.
The back is a large room with a sofa and table.
Given that the fountain pen and ink are placed on the table, I guess we'll have a contract here.
But there's a lot of space in front of the table.
Oh, I can largely predict. You mean you can arrange slaves here and choose?
"Dear Ichinojo, this way please. It is our service."
"Ah...... thank you"
Matthias, who brought me a teapot that looked expensive, poured tea into the cup and gave it to me.
There's no sugar in it, but there's some rounded lemon floating around.
"Now I will bring a slave in possession of an Adventurer's Certificate. Wait here."
Dropping Matthias off saying that and leaving,
Just try a cup of tea, it's just the right heat.
You just pay five senses to rent slaves, and you can entertain me to this point? I think.
Well, is it with you in every world that you want new customers?
Even if it's five cents today, if you rent it five times a month, it's 25 cents, 300 cents a year, so don't make a profit worth 30,000 yen for three silver coins.
Then I guess this is also an initial investment for Matthias.
And after a while, Matthias came back.
- And for the first time in my life, I almost lost my hip in the beauty of people's hair.
There was a bearer of white hair there so confused that it was as if the hair itself was emitting light.
Beautiful woman rather than cute. There is no stain on her white skin, and it does not reach her feet, such as the model she saw in Japan.
I found out by that ear that she was not of the same race as me.
Because I had dog ears.
"She is Halwatart. Call me Halwa. As it looks, it's the White Wolves."
White Wolf...... Oh, the white wolf that's also the name of this store.
They were werewolf ears, not dog ears. I'm glad I didn't put it in my mouth.
"If it's her, the rental fee can be five cents an hour, as I said earlier, but Master Ichinojo is using our store for the first time, so it can be ten hours and five cents with the service"
"... no, ten hours is just going to the Adventurer's Guild and getting them to buy out the rabbit"
"If you don't think it's necessary, you can bring me back in time."
Oh, well. If the price for two nights and three days and one week rental is the same for DVD rental in the rental shop, is that the same logic that automatically makes it a week rental? If you don't need it, you can give it back.
When I pay five cents,
"I'll give you a ten-hour contract."
So Matthias put his finger on Halwatart's collar and remembered something like a spell.
And you gave me instructions to touch her collar, so I'll do as you're told.
Then ten lights lit the collar.
"This is the end of the contract. Every hour the light goes out, after ten hours all the light goes out, and the contract to Master Ichinojo as a slave is cancelled, and I return to my husband. Also, it's a rental, so don't act abusive. If you seem to be injured, you will have to pay for your treatment."
"Okay."
I've said it many times, but I'm just going to the Adventurer Guild, and there's no way it's dangerous.
"Best wishes, my lord"
Along with a beautiful Rin voice, Halwatart bowed his head.
Your husband... sounds embarrassed like your back is mumbling. I guess it feels like the first time I went into a maid cafe.
I've only been in there once. Miri found the receipt and hasn't been there again since she got angry.
Being a slave to a beauty like her is going to make me want to buy it, but buying a woman for money is still unacceptable.
Besides, I'm still unemployed.
Having a family, albeit a slave, is outrageous.
That's not until we can find steady money.
"Speaking of which, what does Mr. Halwatart do with his profession? I know you're an adventurer."
"I am a swordsman. And call me Halwa, or Hal."
"Well, let me call you Mr. Hal. Swordsman, can a swordsman be transferred further from an apprentice swordsman?
"Hal is fine. That's right, if the apprentice swordsman level reaches 20, you can transfer to a swordsman. Most importantly, there are many people who get it and then change careers because the skills of swordsmanship enhancement that can be acquired at Apprenticeship Swordsman Level 25 are useful.
"A swordsman. Nice, a profession I admire."
I knew it would be swords and magic if I said different worlds.
I wonder if I'll turn my second profession into an apprentice swordsman.
You only have to make your profession civilian when you pay taxes.
Yeah, but I wonder if my status will drop when I get to level one.
Let's try it later.
"Then why don't your husband be a swordsman, too? Fortunately, this is a labyrinth town, a labyrinth, and you can be a swordsman in three years."
"Is it going to take three years..."
I'd say three days.
"I'm sorry, I can't change my current profession for a reason. But I'd like to go to the labyrinth."
"If that's the case, please use me. The labyrinth is used to it."
Hal looks me in the eye - shaking his butt tail.
Wow, I want to go to the labyrinth from this girl. Aura is pumping.
Usually it's clear and just the poker face, and it seems like a gap adorable to know how you're in the mood with your tail.
I'd like to go to the labyrinth for you if you're going to say that much.
"Sorry, Mr. Mathias told me not to hurt you."
"Really... No, I'm the one who apologized for not being able to"
My tail and ears creep.
Don't let your guilt push you over.
But, well, you have no choice.
So when I arrive at the Adventurer's Guild, I give them three rabbits at the entrance.
"You're two white rabbits and one black rabbit. I'm in awe, I'm going."
"You don't have to come with me?
"Even though the guild is silent, surrogate reporting by humans other than regular parties is never a praiseworthy act. It doesn't necessarily put your husband at a disadvantage when he has business with the Adventurer Guild in the future. You don't have to be an adventurer to ask for anything."
Sure, you're right.
Katyusha also told Matthias to stop selling in the store.
Well, if she comes here with a slave collar to sell the ravioli I was trying to sell, she'll find out she's my deputy, but if there's a 10% or 20% chance she's not me, you mean the Alliance side can't be strong either?
Then let's honestly leave this place to Hal.
"I'm not in a hurry, so I'm asking you to sell it at a high price."
"Yes, sir."
Hal lowered his head and walked into the guild with three rabbits.
I wonder how much it will sell for.
... Is that it?
Speaking of which, you're taking a long time. Is it crowded?
Well, wait a little longer.
... slow. It's time for an hour.
... Could it have been carried away?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, but Mathias was the one who made the contract for the slave collar, so you two set it up with a guru or something?
That could be enough.
No, no, no, no, but I didn't know that Hal was gonna lie.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir"
"Ha, Hal!?"
"Yes."
"Oh, uh, you took a while."
"Yes, your husband told me to sell it high because it could take a while, so I rented the guild's dismantling station and was dismantling the rabbit"
"... oh, so that took you long"
"This will be the entire amount assessed."
What she gave me was a piece of silver coin, 100 cents.
Is that it? The market is 10 cents a piece, so more than triple?
"Black rabbits sold for three times the price of regular rabbits."
"... Still double the price? Dismantling is awesome...... you know, Hal"
"Yes, what is it? Your husband."
"I'm sorry about everything!
As he bowed his head to apologize for my suspicion of Hal, Hal's face remained calm but his tail was shaking like a big panic.
And after the apology, we went back to Matthias' store.
