Soul Eater of the Rebellion

Episode 44 Seal Aluth II

"Ah, that master, are you sure?"

"What? What?"

Slave: "... even if you give a room to something ...?"

"I don't care.

The seal is puzzled, as it is said.

A room the size of or larger than the house where the seal and the family of eight once lived.

Beds and shelves are pre-installed, and blankets and bedsheets are available so you can start living right away.

The wooden floors are carefully polished, reflecting the sunlight coming through the windows.

The room of “Blue Bird House”, which I used just until yesterday, was too good, but the level was different.

I was confused as a seal even if I was told that I could use this room freely from today.

My husband involuntarily looks up for help.

Sora shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, yeah, I know what I want to say. Honestly, I was surprised when I first saw it."

"So, isn't this ...? This is a high-ranking house-that's the house where the nobles live ...?"

"The location is a high-end residential area, but I didn't want to borrow from the union too much, so I thought I would refuse at first-"

"But?"

"I can't refuse to look at that bath"

I was a bit surprised to be affirmed with a serious face.

I understand the meaning of a bath. There are a number of public baths in the city of Ishka.

Bathtub Most of the baths were steam baths, but some baths were as large as a spring and filled with hot water.

The bath in this house is the latter.

"It was a joke to say that I would think if I had a hinoki bath, but I wonder if it should be a" union "or, in this case, Fjord's ability and insight. I am very grateful for the matter. ''

"I think the bath with the smell of that tree is wonderful."

"right!?"

I was surprised to see her face.

Involuntarily, his face was blushing and his triangular ears fluttered on his head.

Firewood: "There was no hinoki bath in a public bath, as it was! I thought it would be hard to water and boil a bathtub of that size, but as far as the water goes, the water runs from the Kale River. You can pour it, and you don't need to boil the water thanks to Salamander summoned by Luna Maria. It's just perfect! "

"... Yes, yes."

For now, I just knew that the Lord was excited.

As you can guess from the words, there is a Hinoki bath at home and I missed that bath for a long time.

As far as Seal knows, a house with a bathtub is like a noble mansion. Seal asks himself at the head, wondering if he's actually a good scion.

Noticing the embarrassment of such a seal, Sora coughed as if to cheat her excitement.

"Well, aside from the bath."

"Yes, yes."

"Thank you for the sparrow. I told Luna Maria, but when the sparrow goes out, let one of the two be with you."

"Understood"

The seal nodded, thinking of the face of a demonic girl who had been living together since the other day.

There is no hatred or vigilance against the demon.

In the battle three hundred years ago, the beasts also fought against demons as well as humans. But if you put it on a sticker, it's like a fairy tale. He had no resentment and did not intend to hit sparrows, if any.

In the first place, the history of past racial struggles is that humans and beasts have often contradicted each other.

Some humans dislike the beast man as "a mixture of humans and beasts". Some countries and regions discriminate against subhumans, including beastmen, and oppress them.

When asked whether to guard against a demon or a human, most beasts will choose the latter.

――Speaking of which, at first I was watching your husband.

Suddenly, Seal recalls the past.

Even so, it has not been three months since it was bought by Sora.

Still, the memory that came to my mind seemed far away from the seal.

◆◆◆

The seal was born on the western frontier of the Adastera Empire.

A pioneer village close to the border with the Kingdom of Canary.

The seal is 15 years old. He was the eldest daughter of seven siblings and lived humble and peaceful days with his parents.

The family's life has changed completely since their father, a huntsman, was attacked by monsters in the mountains.

The father, who lost one leg, can no longer work, and the family quickly becomes in need. The second daughter under the seal is ten years old, and the eldest under that is eight years old. The youngest brother is still a baby. It didn't take long for Seal to consider himself.

The Empire grants citizenship to sub-humans, so there is no obvious discrimination.

Some people hate the beasts, but some do.

Even if you have citizenship. I don't know what to do if I become a slave.

Knowing that, he still visited the slave shop. He sold all his rights and gave all his money to his family for a collar.

After being bought by a slaver, Seal was told various stories by other slaves.

There was a rabbit beast who was stripped naked by a noble noblewoman and sipped around the city like a pet.

There was a lion beast who was beaten all over his body for discipline and was forced to prostrate.

There are as many other stories that make you want to close your ears. Seal had to be pessimistic about the future.

So when I was first invited to Sora, I couldn't talk too slowly.

Later, from the empire to the Kingdom of Canary, he came to the city of Ishka, but at this point fear was still ahead.

When I arrived at Ishka, I was struck my ears, tail, and body for days and days without being able to sleep. When he was told that he was excited when he saw a girl who was hurt, he held his head saying he had come to a ridiculous person.

…… now I know it was a joke, but it was a really dazzling despair for the seal at that time. The joke still wants you to choose the time and place, and still has it at the root.

The turning point must have been that Luna Maria has joined the slaves.

Since then, Sora's attitude toward the seal has changed significantly. Not only the attitude but also the offer to release from slaves.

It would be a lie if I didn't move my heart.

It was evident, however, that even if they were released from slavery and returned home, they would soon sell again.

The money he earned from selling himself would be less than two years, given the living costs and taxes of the remaining eight. If the seal is returned, the burden of the seal will naturally increase, and savings will decrease more quickly.

Such as a family without workers.

So Seal needed to make a lot of money. Until the eldest son, eight years old, reached the age of thirteen, he needed enough money for his family to live.

Of course, working for a year or two doesn't give you that much money.

It is not enough to sell the seal twice.

To make that much money, you have to look for ways to be deceptive.

For example.

Like giving a (!) Tip to a daughter who stays at a hotel often with silver coins, or being pleased by a rich and generous master.

Thus, Seal switches his previously passive attitude.

He wanted to join the night fairy.

In the first place, Seal is a complete slave who sold off all rights. It is a position where even private property cannot be recognized depending on the intention of the master. Originally, you should try to serve sooner so as not to buy off your husband.

The seal, which came to mind later, turned the heavens on his ecstasy. She had been advised many times by her fellow slaves, but she pretended to be unaware that Sora would not reach out.

In light of such regrets, Seal began to work hard on Sora, and after seeing her devotion to her, Sora naturally deepened her love for the seal-and when she noticed she settled into her current relationship.

He learned how to fight from Lunamaria and has successfully commissioned many times as an adventurer. After Sora founded the clan, Blood Sword, she was able to get paid for working there.

Seal remitted his salary to his hometown through the Union. Half a month, if not a month, is a comfortable amount to eat. If you continue to send money, your brothers and sisters will not be hungry and your sister will not have to sell themselves.

There is no dissatisfaction with the current situation if you use a seal. The request of Sora who gave me the situation was nothing more than taking care of the demons.
