Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 77 Reunion
The Slave City was quite thriving.
Sit back behind the venue and watch the slaves. In one way or another this time, there was no one to stir up our willingness to buy, just people who seemed in high demand if it was a party of sex slaves, soldiers, or adventurers.
After a short break, it becomes a crime slave ministry. I was going to see this completely chilled. Nevertheless, it's not unlikely that someone as outrageous as May will come out last time. It's hard to be stupid.
The stage sleeves were somewhat noisy some time after the city began. Apparently, a woman's criminal slave is on the rampage. After a while, three slaves were drawn to the stage, but when I saw it, I was stunned.
... were the stupid brave men of the Cat Clan.
The woman's cat cries all the time. And have the other men been assaulted, their faces swollen? All three of them are dressed in worn out clothes.
"Well, it's number 16. Cat Man - 16, Cat Woman - 15 Year Old Raw Daughter, Cat Man - 17! Starting at 5000G!
Surprisingly unresponsive. In the sinister air, one aristocratic-style man raises the bill.
"Is there anything else? Don't you have one?
"10000G!
I shouted so unexpectedly, I gave him a bill.
"10000G! Is there anything else? Don't you have one?... Now we win the bid at 10000G!
Without waiting for the city to end, we went outside.
"Linos, how did you buy that cat tribe?
"Rico, don't you remember? That's the cat tribe that started the commotion in the name of the brave man."
"You're here. Are you sure it's those people?
"Probably definitely"
Head to the room where the winning bidder gathers. After a while, a slaver and a man of thoughtful style come to me.
"Thank you for winning this bid. We would like to proceed with the purchase process as soon as possible."
That's how the man led us to another room.
Just like in May, pay and provide my blood. Immediately after that, those stupid cats are brought in. Instead of the worn out clothes I saw on stage, the man had his shirt and the woman had been forced to change into a piece. Lined up in a row, with my blood on my arms and hands. My arms glow when a slaver casts a spell.
"Now the contract is complete. If you don't like this slave, please don't hesitate to buy it."
That's what I said. The man left the room with something like a business card.
"Thank you for buying us this time. I will serve you desperately in the future."
"You're getting to speak the proper language, you dumb cat."
The cats look at me seriously.
"Ah! You were rude then!
The female cat tribe speaks up.
"Apparently, I attract every kind of trouble I make. Well, seeing you guys is on the brink of something. It's hard to talk here. Let's talk outside."
We took the stupid cats, we took Sonya and Ange waiting outside, and we went into the hotel restaurant.
"You're hungry, aren't you? Ask for whatever you want."
But the slaves are quite bewildered. I had no choice but to ask for the same dish we asked for.
"And yet, you guys, what the hell made you a criminal slave or something?
"I made a note with my lord. That's when I wounded my lord and his servants."
"Wow, that's..."
"That's why it's so scratchy."
Apparently, the stupid cats have had a lot of trouble since they broke up with me. He said he traveled as he crossed from village to village, one time fooled by people and one time attacked by demons. And when I got to a town, there was a massive demon crusade, and they forced the stupid cats to participate in half of it. So Willis, a sword-hearted man, worked there, and Sheila, who could use healing magic, was quite treasured in the rear troops. That brings him to the brink and he will live in town, Willis will guard the mercenary corps and so on, Sheila will start the business of recovering the injured, and Yuriel will use that upbringing to create something like a temple house that teaches the town's children to read and write, where he was a teacher, he said.
They basically had no greed, and it would have been nice if the three of them had just enough money to live on, so Sheila and Juliel seemed pretty inexpensive and working. As a result, they were given a lot of gratitude by the people in town and had a pretty full day.
But the lord of the town, who laid eyes on Sheila, has told me to give her to my concubine. Naturally the three of us stuck to that demand, but the lord persisted. And solidifying his determination to leave that town, the Lords caught him trying to embark on a journey, where he played the big catch. As a result, Willis wounded his lord's squire and injured his lord when Sheila and Juliel were also captured. That is why he has been found guilty and consequently a criminal slave and sold to the Imperial Capital.
"Work for people and be appreciated by people. It was incredibly fulfilling, but it's this Zama. I hear we haven't been around a lot."
"Oh, that's not true, is it? I'm sure Linos would have been lucky to have bought it for you, huh?
"Are you..."
"This is Ricolette, First Princess of the Headata Empire."
"Ah, the high-flying woman of that time!
"Sheila! Watch your language!
Willis accidentally pinches his mouth. He looks like a pretty good brother.
"Seeing as I was calling your husband Linos away..."
"Yes, Linos and I were married."
"Heck, marriage? Huh? I thought it was a servant of the Empress."
Then I told him about my marriage to Rico.
"That's what... And your husband is amazing. I can't believe you welcomed the Empress as your wife, became the honorary marquis of the Empire, and managed the Second Prince's territory... I've been very rude to someone like that."
"If I knew that, it would be enough. You've been through a good experience. If you can't, you just have to start over. And you, you've grown a lot. Looks like you're gonna be okay with this."
"Really, I had a lot of trouble. But a lot of people helped me. It wasn't a mistake to talk to your husband."
That's how we all talk about the future while we indulge in dessert.
"What I want you guys to do is run the store. Sonja and Ange are stores that sell junction stones. You can't get licked because someone from the military is coming. And Willis and the others, they sell ingredients. I plan to open this store around the fall, so I want you to get ready for it. Of course, when the stores are short staffed, do it together."
Everyone nods silently.
"Your residence is a shop. But stay in this hotel for three days from today because it will take some time to put away beds and other amenities to sleep. In the meantime, I need you to get your stuff together. Of course, buy me some clothes. I'll give the money to the gong, so tell me if you need me. Gong, please."
"Yes, sir."
And the five slaves taken to Gong from the next day ran around shopping in the city of Imperial City.
As a result, I was forbidden to live here because of the lack of size of the shop selling the junction stone. Meanwhile, the warehouse had upstairs and we were going to use this place as a place to live, even with five people in it, there's still room. However, since there was no kitchen and toilet, that was the problem, but Willis and the others bought their own ingredients and made them. He said he wore it while traveling, and this guy could surprisingly rely on it.
Quickly, Sonya parents and children, who had taken over from Luara, began operating. So far so good without any particular major problems. On the contrary, my whim prevents me from opening the store, which seems to have a good reputation, especially among the merchants. In addition, Sonya is the beauty there. They also have military and merchants trying to make a good stop, which seems to be quite popular.
Willis' warehouse has been gallant so far, but preparations are steadily under way to divide it between storage space and sales space, and to build a wall in between. The harvested vegetables and crops are sold in front of the warehouse in order to open an outdoor shop. In this way, Willis has suggested that it would be a good advertisement until it opens, and that if people knew the flavor beforehand, a lot of customers would come when it opens. I decided to get on with it and set up transfer boundaries to each village and fishing village, including Kyriek, inside the storage space of the warehouse. And among them, we established a line between frozen and refrigerated, making sure that the freshness did not drop.
The Willis stores thrive, albeit in small quantities. Thankfully, many customers tell us to open the store faster. For all their hard work, Willis and the others are wearing love, which is also a factor in visiting.
After this, I stopped calling them "stupid cats".
