The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

"Now, let's break your belly and talk."As you know, I'm a slave trader who makes his living from slavery.Born between the parents of a slave trader, he has lived a wealthy life since he was a child.

However, the public's perception of the work of slavery is "the work of buying and selling people for money." Personally, it is not that simple a job, and I would like to say a few words... It is a fact that we are trafficking in human beings.Most people don't have a good impression.That's why when I was a kid, I didn't have anyone I could call a friend.Because they hate their parents more than their children. "

Yeah, I can somehow imagine that.My parents tell me not to play with her.

“Since then, I've been actively speaking to my servants, my parents' subordinates, and my slaves.If you think about it now, it must have been a replacement for a friend of his age.I don't think there will be any servants or subordinates who can treat me badly as my employer's parents or my son. I don't think I can run away and leave anywhere if I'm a slave. I think there was also a plan to take a stand like that at first.

However, when interacting with various people, there is no "same person" as one person.Race, lineage, origin, background, and personality.There are thousands of different ways of thinking and hobby thinking.I know the other person, feel the difference, and know new knowledge and how to see things that I didn't have.That was pure pleasure.Someday, instead of being a friend, I wanted to know who was purely there. ”

At that point, Mr. Orest looked at us with a serious expression.

“I've used my position as a slave dealer, I've engaged with a lot of people, and I've seen people from all walks of life.However, you strongly feel that you are different from the people I've seen before.That's why I want to be close to you.My personal interests. That's one of the reasons I invited Master Ryoma to dine with me today. ”

Maybe it's because I'm an alien.

For now, let's not deny it.

"Certainly, I am aware that I am a little off from the general expression."But one of the reasons for my personal interest (...), is there another reason? "

Orest nodded clearly with a smile.

“I want to build a better cooperative relationship with Lyoma-sama.

Suddenly, what do you think about slavery? "

"No matter what I say... if I answer honestly, it's" I don't have minutes. "The first thing you said about “human trafficking” is probably true, and there's nothing to be reluctant about it.

However, it is legal under the laws of this country, and the treatment of slaves differs from that of ordinary long-term employment.I think you're treating it so properly.I also learned that the position of slavery has a role to play as a "last bastion" for people who have lost their property due to poverty or some kind of failure.

So I can't simply say it's okay or bad. ”

“Thank you, that was more than I expected.”

I was going to give an ambiguous answer, but even so, Mr. Orest is visibly in a better mood.

"If you are a customer who understands like Lieutenant Ryoma, it is easy for us to work with slaves."

This is a folly as a slave dealer, but when trading, customers often feel "slavery and poor understanding of slave dealers".It's more of an “inescapable thing” than being a slave dealer or trafficker, as we say in our industry, and we'll tell you if someone new enters. ”

He looks to us, but (...) and continues.

“This is what I think."Isn't the slave trade and the system itself an outdated substitute?"

Indeed, when I was alive in my previous life, slavery was only a matter of history or creativity, and as this world modernizes, it is likely that such a trend will emerge.

"As Lieutenant Ryoma said, formal slavery contracts under the current slavery law are similar to labor contracts exchanged in regular guilds.The difference is that the buyer has the obligation to guarantee the livelihood of the slave, and the slave dealer is paid the money for the labor salary in advance.

The difference in the content of the contract was made because the old slavery law, which allowed for the injustice of slavery, was abolished, and the concept and idea of "human rights" are spreading to society, along with the new slavery law, which has become a new standard. "

Here he presses his guard.

“Let me be clear, but I have no intention of denying human rights or ideas.Rather, we affirm that we should always keep in mind that it is important to protect our dignity as human beings.That's why, that's why. I think slavers are outdated.

Currently, slave traders are able to work because they have a side as a last resort to save lives when people are crooked and needy.Above all, the aristocrats who set the laws of the country and take the helm are only missed as part of the tradition due to the entrenched constitution of "respect for tradition and dislike of change". In the not-too-distant future, we will no longer be able to handle slaves, and slave traders like us will have no place... I think so.That's why I'm looking for a way to make slavery happen, in line with the changing times. ”

"Speaking of which, Mr. Orest not only started buying and selling slaves, but also renting them out cheaply and temporarily."

"That's right, Master Ryoma has noticed."When I talked about it before, I said, "Dispatching of human resources, intermediary business," so I thought it would be better. "

"... did I say that?"

"While looking at the materials, she muttered that she accidentally came out of her mouth."

More than that, did you accidentally slip your mouth in front of you, past me?

"The moment I heard that crush, your value jumped in me.You know something specific about the new slave trade I'm planning.No, even if you don't know it.You can understand my future concerns.That's what I felt. ”

"I can understand your concerns"... I feel like I've been explained to you so far and I understand a little bit.

The man in front of me is probably a really good manager.A handful of people should be called "geniuses", rather than "ordinary excellence", as if there were just a few people who are better than normal, or many other people who stand shoulder to shoulder if you look for them.

I don't know what efforts he has made to get there.It might be rude to do it with a word of genius, but there's actually a difference between a mortal and a genius.It's as deep as a valley, so brutally different.

And because he was a genius, his foresight showed him a future that the majority of the world had yet to see.It's too early to tell, but he's too ahead of his time (...).

"I'm not familiar with the slave trade industry, but many slave traders think that the same situation will continue in the future.But is Orest looking forward to his child's succession, or his son, in units of decades? ”

“Exactly. No matter how far I think about the future, I can't leave the realm of guessing and imagining... but I can't help but feel like I'm waiting for the future I can't see.That's why we believe we need to explore new ways of working as slaves from now on. ”

"And after thinking about it, I arrived at the talent dispatching business"

“I don't want to be obsessed with slavery, but given the best way to use our accumulated knowledge and experience, I think it's best to educate our clients to increase their value as human resources and introduce them to the people they need to use.”

It would be a good idea if we were to use the weapons we have developed as slaves.

“How do you personally handle seconded talent?I'm concerned about that.I can't imagine what the laws of the future will be-- "

In Japan, due to the amendment of the Dispatch Law, there was no work, and the dispatched employees were consumed with low salaries, and it was quite difficult to dispatch employees.... The field said lightly, "Change jobs" or "I wish I could become a full-time employee", but it's not really that easy to talk about getting a job...

Once you get stuck in a negative loop, you won't be able to get out. In the end, in Japan, failure and distress tend to be talked about as "lack of effort" by the person concerned, or as "self-responsibility" that can only be selected or dispatched.

In the end, I couldn't decide to abandon my position as a full-time employee (...) even in a black company.But honestly, I've often thought it would be easier to work on a secondment.

"--Oh! That's also-- there is one!" Yeah! Sure-- "

Based on such memories, if you list the points of concern, the effect will be mixed.I feel pressure as if I am being physically pressed by the enthusiasm of not missing every word and phrase.

Not so long ago, Mr. Orest's appetite was tremendous. He had meals and desserts left on the table, and even on the way back to the security company in a carriage, I kept talking about what I knew about the contingent employees in my previous life as "a story of imaginable possibilities."

And when we say goodbye,

"Oh, I really enjoyed today.It's the first time I've been able to talk to each other so specifically and paint a picture of the future in my head. ”

“I'm glad we had a fruitful conversation, too.”

When he got off the carriage in front of the security company, Mr. Orest spoke calmly.It's hard to know what you're thinking, but I'm glad it helped.

“If you need help with anything, please let us know.When it comes to slavery, of course, we need to be as powerful as we can be. ”

“Thank you, and I look forward to it.”

I was supposed to say hello normally.

……



For some reason, Mr. Orest silenced me to think about it.

What's the matter?

"... Master Ryoma, I want to continue to interact with you from the bottom of my heart. There is no lie or lie in this word."But that's why I wanted to say a few nosy things.

Do you remember when I asked during the meal, "Have you had a good time lately?"

Of course. I remember, and I didn't mean to lie.

“Yes, I don't doubt that answer.On the contrary, it really shows from the bottom of my heart that I care about my current life. ”

Once again, it's a little embarrassing when you say that to your face.However, even from the perspective of others, if I can cherish my current life, I'm happy, or I have a mysterious sense of security.

"After losing something, people often realize the importance of what they have lost.Particularly common daily routines tend to be neglected.However, I felt that each and every one of the words that said that Ryoma's days were fun contained a love for life today.At the same time, there is also a "strong fear" of losing the current routine. "

"Fear?"

"The way you describe your daily life, it seemed to me like someone who had finally acquired a treasure that you couldn't get even after a long thirst.Those people probably don't want to let go of the treasure.

To protect your precious daily life, I felt like you were trying to be a "good boy" who would unconsciously listen to adults.... you seem very happy now, but you seem cramped. "

I don't really understand the meaning of the word, and I'm having trouble answering it.

"It's not something to worry about."Think of it as a bullshit and forget it. "

When I said goodbye, I left in the carriage.

I had strong emotions today, and I thought it would be easier to speak frankly for the sake of interaction than before.But now that I think about it, I still don't know that person well.....
