Let's Manage The Tower

Lisa Florence is a slave who sold herself.

My parents were doing business at that level, but they had to take on debts under a variety of circumstances.

I chose to be a slave to repay the debt.

It is not good for the family to think that my younger brother, who would be the working head of the family, would leave the house immediately after he was the top of his brother.

Besides being the most expensive, it was the best thing for the family.

However, no matter how convinced I am that I have become a slave, I can't help thinking about my future.

I wouldn't have been anxious, especially until I decided who to be my master with.

Although your safety is guaranteed because you are not a criminal slave, it is only a precedent.

There is no master who hides and does all sorts of things.

That's why I decided to spend time with tension and anxiety until my husband was decided, but Lisa finally had a buyer.

The man named Warhid looked like a gentleman from Lisa's perspective.

Of course, Lisa, who was fifteen years old, knew that there were people whose appearance and inner appearance were apart.

A slave can't choose his master from himself, so he has to bet on his own luck.

The Warhid bought fourteen slaves besides Lisa.

Not everyone buys them all at once, but this number will be unusual for boulders.

The master of the slave merchant made a smile on his face and urged him not to cause trouble.

The fifteen slaves bought included not only women like Lisa, but also men.

There were many young people, but some men were almost thirty years old.

Later on, I realized that the man was a former adventurer and bought as an escort.

When I left the store and was told to take me to a place where I would work in the future, I was worried about where I would be taken when I left the city of Lüssen.

When they entered the building outside the city and received a brief explanation, they were all surprised by the boulders when they were told that the place they were going to work was in the tower that was connected by the building and the transfer gate from there.

Of the fifteen, six were to be employed in combat work, and the remaining nine were to be employed in administrative work such as counters.

Lisa, who was incapable of fighting, was naturally assigned to administrative duties.

At first, he was to work in a temple (like) in the tower.

One of the nine office holders, Claire, the oldest, became the group of the remaining eight.

Then they did their work in the tower of four and in Lüssen, and were divided into two of the four, and they always acted together.

Lisa's first partner was a girl named Sarasa, one below Lisa.

These two pairs had the same room division where they would sleep, and from now on, they always acted with Sarasa.

"... whoo."

After the day's work, Sarasa exhaled on the bed.

"Tired?

"Yeah, well... just a little bit."

The two men's work in the last few days has been with people who use the transfer gate in the tower.

Some of them come from the Lüssen side, so we have to work on the gate while communicating with the other side so as not to bump into them.

Some of them know they're slaves, and some of them have an attitude of licking.

Nevertheless, as for the tower side (Warhid), their treatment of slaves is consistent.

Regardless of whether it is a slave or a regular employee, the use of gates is prohibited if they are treated together and subjected to violence against the employee.

Within the tower, there seemed to be quite a profit to be made, and there were no violent people.

Nevertheless, it is true that there are some people who call me to the extent that it is not a problem.

Lisa knows that her parents were doing business, and she knows how to do it to some extent.

But Sarasa doesn't have that kind of experience, so Lisa sometimes follows her.

"Yes, rest well today. I'm off tomorrow."

"Yeah, I will.... hey, Lisa."

"What?"

"... is it really okay to take a break?

Unconsciously, Lisa couldn't answer the question for a moment.

Sarasa, it's true that Lisa's group is off tomorrow.

There is no problem because I have checked it many times.

I just can't believe that slaves get two days off a week (seven days a week).

One of those days is tomorrow.

"It's okay. I checked with Ek-san properly. Tomorrow, work is off."

"Yeah!... but Lili and the others must be in trouble..."

Lili was the other group in charge of the transfer gate on the tower side.

The fact that Lisa and Sarasa are on holiday means Lili's team has to work hard all day.

Incidentally, when two groups are in charge, the other group is doing miscellaneous work.

"I see. But we did our best yesterday alone, so Lili and I are fine."

"... I see. Now, let's get some rest."

"Yeah, good night."

The next day.

Sarasa and Lisa had plenty of time.

Within the village, the monsters don't attack, so I can move around freely, but it's a village where there are only adventurers in the first place.

There is no guarantee that two women will be safe when they walk alone.

However, it may also include Sarasa and Lisa's bias.

That's why, instead of going outside, I wandered through a private area, the living quarters of the temple's employees, and was also spoken to by my slave, Bloom.

Bloom is a combatant slave.

Normally, it serves as a watchdog to avoid disturbances at the transfer gate.

"Oh? What? Lisa, are you guys off?

"Yes, and Mr. Bloom?

"Oh, that's right.... yeah, why don't you take a look around the village when you're free?

Lisa was confused by the sudden offer.

"... eh?

"Oh, wait, wait. That's not what I meant. Actually, Ekko told me."

"To Ek-san? Oh, my God.

"If you two were free today, you could show me the village. Well, I'll be free anyway, so I got it."

Lisa was convinced by Bloom's explanation. At the same time, I thanked Ekko for his care.

Ekko would have expected them to spend some time in a private area.

Looking around the village is much better for both of us than sitting in the temple.

Lisa and the others decided not to accept Broome's offer.

"If that's the case, can I ask for guidance?

Oh.

In this way, the three of us would look around the village, but since the building other than the one that had been built from the beginning was under construction, there was almost nothing to look around the building.

I went into Schmidt's shop, but mostly dealt with adventure items, and there was little for Sarasa and Lisa to see.

After Lisa and the others started working on the tower, the number of people involved in the work increased.

At the same time, he was informed that the number of transfer gates would increase at a later date.

Prior to the increase in the number of gates, in order to create people familiar with the work, when the number of transfer gates increased, the number of employees was further increased.

Another important point was the Crown's story at this time.

As far as tower employees are concerned, everyone will belong to this Crown and will continue to act as a Crown member.

Members' cards were also created at that time, and each employee was given a crown card.

With the creation of the Crown, the work will increase in the future, and Lisa and her clerks will be working on the work.

By the way... Lisa would later be freed from slavery and assume an important position within the Crown, but that was still ahead.
