In the square at the corner of the shopping district, there was a crowd of god-demon slaves who had been rescued.

After that, I threw Elman and Neg out of a broken warehouse, and I pulled all the slaves out of the cage and brought them here for now.

There is no need to worry about being seen by wild horses or guards because they have set a pay-per-use line.Now I finally take a breath.

Many were weak, but all seemed to have nothing to do with their lives.

The slaves who were being held in the middle and second floors were actually just small children.I was a little injured and hungry, but that's all.If it gets too rough, it won't be sold, so obviously it is.

The worst wound was a nozzle, but it wouldn't have been enough to die.Only a militant and sturdy one.I didn't ask you to help me, but the fever didn't go away even after the injury was healed, so I rest for a while.

But... in fact, I really wanted to borrow your hand.

"Hah...."

I'm so tired.

Even if I tried to get you out of the cage, it was because of all the women and children, and I was scared and crying, and I was quite troubled.If Rurum hadn't called me around, how long would it have been?

But even though Rurum couldn't help but rescue his people, he didn't seem very happy.

Things haven't swallowed up... maybe it's because I've gone a little too far.

"Seika-san...."

At that time, Yuki's face came out from above her head.

What is it, Yuki?

"... why did you give him the bill?"

The voice is clearly dissatisfied.

"Write down the denomination as they say.That's how they did it. Seika-san must have paid him for it. There must have been no shards.On the contrary, you could have taken back the stolen property..... "

"If Elman goes bankrupt, who will pay for the warehouse I destroyed?"

"Yeah... no, yeah..."

Yuki shouted as if she was stunned and confused.

"Why was the warehouse destroyed in the first place?You didn't have to do that...? "

"I didn't understand the behavior of the aerial death when it touched objects.I don't think so, but if an explosion happens, it's not going to be slavery recapture.I just wanted to make room for a call. "

But it was worth it, and it became clear that the fake sun was also effective for Astral.

I would like to try it on a regular monster this time.It should be much closer to the beast than Astral or the demon, so what happens is subtle...

Say to me, "Yuki is stunned."

You've taken a lot of shots in an airborne trial.

"That's not all. It is not good for Elman to disappear without knowing how to tell the lord about me.If we keep him in trouble, maybe we'll start a pretending business again? "

"Ummm...."

"Besides, I was impressed by the fact that my liver was quite stable."

I didn't expect you to say the same amount as the original estimate in that situation.I thought you said it was free.

I guess I've been rinsing a lot of mud so far.Still a good merchant.

I wrote down the amount I was told.

"Well, maybe they're still losing.It would have been a good medicine. "

"Umumum... but it still seems like a waste to Yuki."

"Regardless of the amount, I really needed to give you the bill. I can't help it."

……

Yuki looked strange.

It would have been dark in that place, but I wonder if Elman would have noticed.

On Fiona's seal, pushed by a bill.

I don't want anyone carrying a bill with the royal seal on them in the future.

I'm sure you'll find a good way to deal with it later.

"... shouldn't you at least have done something about that fox possession?"

You mean Neg? That's not a good idea.I bought too much of Elman's grudge. "

"Mm...."

"I was able to deal with all the grudges I had obeyed. That's enough.But now it's this way. "

That's how I walk to one of the demon girls.

"Hih...!"

When the girl noticed me, she stood back as if frightened. [M]

Looking closely, it appears to be the first slave seen in that warehouse.

Regardless of the scared girl, I pick with my fingers the collar of a servant fitted to his white neck. [M]

"Stay still."

The collar has no effect, thanks to the precautionary boundaries.

However, nobody knew whether that was the reason or how to remove it.

Nothing like a seam.

I sigh and murmur.

I can't help it, I can't help it.

The Golden Phase - The Art of Golden Mercury

Gallia mercury (gallium) produced by the surgery erodes the metal of the collar.

The metal discovered by the Alchemist of the Kingdom of Frank is liquid at room temperature and has the peculiar characteristic of breaking apart another metal he touched.

During only about three breaths, the servant's collar broke in two.

It seems like a precious magic tool, so it was a little wasted, but I can't help it.

"Ah... the collar..."

Next, give me your hand.

When I remove the shackles in the same way, I tell the girl. [M]

"Do you know what I want to do?If you understand, tell everyone to come this way.If you come near me, you'll cry again. "

"Ha, yes... um"

The Demon Girl, who was about to run away, stopped and looked back.

"Thank you..."

There was a faint smile on his face.

****

"Holy shit....."

I finally took my fifteen necklaces and shackles off and took a breath. [M]

At first they were frightened slaves, but later they got used to saying thank you.

Even the demons are cute.

However, we can't just relax here forever.

This group is too prominent. Now that I've handed Elman the bill, the guards won't have a problem with it, but I still wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

We need to find a place to stay.

I was thinking about what to do then.

"Seika"

Ah, there was a voice coming from behind.

Looking back, Rum in his coat stood.The collar of a slave is still attached to his neck.

I notice.

"Oh, speaking of which, all the slaves were seventeen.I forgot about you and Nozzle. "

Despite joking, Rurum did not answer, but stood with a contemplative expression.

I add to that strangely. [M]

"I'm telling you, don't hold back on your grudges.We're not quite in a position to confront the powerful for any reason.Besides, it must have been tough for you, but it's been tough for me, too.Amu's gonna slap me... oh yes, I have to tell them I'm okay... "

"Hey, Seika, can you answer just one question?"

"...? What? Reopen it"

I frowned.

Rurum exhales one big breath and asks me.

Tell me your family name.

"What, are you kidding me? I didn't hide anything, so I don't mind."

Slightly out of applause, I answer.

My name is Seika Ramprog.

"─ ─!!"

As Rurum breathed, his eyes opened and hardened.

I am finally surprised and ask. [M]

"No, what was that?"

"... Meloza's husband also had a family name.I only asked once..... "

"Well, if you call yourself a nobleman, you'll be named after your family."

"That man, Gilberto..."

And Rurum says.

"----Gilberto Lamprogue, that's what he called it."

"... what?"

"Ah... I finally found it. I found her... Meloza's child..."

Rurum murmured as if he was impressed.

I say to block it.

"Wait, I can't see the story. What does that mean...."

At that time, Rurum knelt on his knees.

To me who stood up, the witch of the god who lay face down told me strictly.

"Please come to our land..."

I don't believe in destiny.

Determinism, for example, has long been denied by ancient Greek philosophy.

But... the words I was told were something I felt compelled to feel.
