Next day

"Beautiful weather... because it's been a long time since you've been out there? I feel kind of dazzled."

Midday sunshine received on just a short journey from the front door of the mansion to the carriage. I imagine Mr. Reinhardt's busy schedule as he seems to be enjoying it while neglecting it slightly.

However,

"Are you sure? As far as I'm concerned, I'd appreciate it if you crushed the day off with my escort."

"That's okay. As a matter of fact, there have been more days of restlessness lately even when I have a holiday. When the area was there, we were spending time together, teaching them something, and now they're in school, right? And then I get out of hand, and I stick to my job."

"Mr. Reinhardt, we can't talk about each other..."

"Right... when they say that, I think I know a little bit about how you feel too"

The effect of the area going to school is here too... Before I left, they said that the area was ok, but I was wondering if it was the parents I really should worry about.

For now, I want to stop before I become a full-fledged worker holic, and I appreciate you escorting me.

"By the way, is the store you're going to (...) dangerous?

"No, it's not dangerous. Let's just say I can let Master Lyoma go alone for a little while... I introduced him, yeah."

"The store itself is healthy. Just a few representatives of the store, hey."

Not only Mr Reinhardt, but also Mr Serge and Mr Piolo today. And Mr. Faye is accompanying me. The destination was the “Morton Slave Chamber", which I was introduced to before. When I talked about it again last night, civil engineering work was decided to be this afternoon, and I remembered and said it as a way of using my time until then.

Then suddenly these three people were accompanied by a slightly stronger claim. I told him that adults would now have Mr. Faye in the back seat, but that's not the problem, he said.

I heard that Serge introduced me first and that he was just passing the information to Kalm because he said, "If you want to use it, give me a safe store." He didn't recommend using it... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Something bothered him. Though it seemed so spicy to say,

"You got a problem with the delegates?

"Seya Nen. Well, I don't need to worry about scams or anything like that. Serious about business, trustworthy opponent or. When it comes to commerce."

"I've still taken over the store from my predecessors for a few years, but where I can learn how to do it well and improve it as I trample on it, I can say I'm a good manager. I have more eyes than we have, especially when it comes to professional patterns or" seeing people ”. For one thing, it would be comparable to the Alliance Master."

The figure of an old woman working as guild master for the Gimle Commercial Guild crosses the back of her brain.

"That sounds a lot more competent again."

"Competent. I wonder if it's because I'm competent..."

"Shall I say that genius is sometimes hard for ordinary people to understand? It's a change of heart."

"If you want to add, you're acting suspicious. I don't want you to see the neighborhood as much as possible."

Neighborhood? I don't want them to see me... suspicious words and actions... maybe Lori, no, I shouldn't have rude images of people I've never met.

I beg your pardon.

A man who is serving as your lord called me and told me that my destination was close. As we prepare to descend, the carriage eventually enters into the large gate as it slows down.

"This place..."

Compared to the Duke's house, they are not good opponents, but the size of the grounds, the size of the building and the exterior. Whatever it takes, it just looks like a bright, beautiful aristocratic mansion. When I got off the carriage at the stop, a clerk dressed like a butler arrived immediately.

and three adults who do not hide their troubled faces at the same time.

"This is the Duke. To Serge of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce to Piolo of the Sionji Chamber of Commerce. Welcome aboard."

"You haven't seen me the other day, Olest."

"Nah, why don't you just stand on the table yourself? You want to get to work?

"This is tough. Of course, I work as a meetup, but it's also important that we get to know each department well, right?

A man with a sharp gaze and a floating attitude somewhere. Apparently he's the top here, but a lot younger than I imagined. Wouldn't it have been reached if I'd still done poorly in my late 20s?

You're a refreshingly handsome guy, and you're like a young president of a venture... when you think

"But I didn't know you guys were coming to our store."

With that mouth, my moving gaze caught me.

"I apologize for this. I'm meeting here, my name is Olest Morton."

"Thank you for your kindness. Lyoma Takebayashi."

"Master Takebayashi, right? Make sure you know me."

? You don't look as strange as you were asking.

It handles kids like me decently... and no, is it weird to treat kids like me the same way as a duke or a Grand Chamber of Commerce meeting?... I don't understand why the three of us said that.

While I was thinking about it, I was talking about moving the location, and I also called Mr. Faye, who had not been in the conversation, to go into the store.

Then the shop, which felt like a noble mansion, was as luxurious as the noble mansion inside. However, many chairs and counters line the area that hits the entrance, like a Japanese post office or city hall. Besides, I checked about 5 pairs of foreigners, but not all of them, with all due respect, seem to be aristocrats or rich people in order of clothing...

"Hehe, are you surprised?

"Right. First of all, it didn't look like a shop, but when I heard about the Slave Chamber, I imagined a dark, shady place."

"Depending on the size and location of the store, there are unfortunately places like that. But“ slaves are human, "and you have to be healthy as a commodity. For this reason, we at the Moreton Chamber of Commerce provide slaves with bright, clean rooms and adequate meals, and we always invest in the health care of slaves, such as hiring dedicated doctors."

In order to respond adequately to those who have thus become slaves, we will inevitably also need many rooms, etc. That's why they say this place is as big as a noble mansion.

"Especially not as many luxurious stores so far. This was originally a nobleman's mansion, and my father bought it for sale and partially renovated it into a shop."

"I see."

Then what I thought was often a mistake.

"This way."

The rooms shown are private rooms lined with simple rectangular tables and chairs. Instead of five of us and six of us putting him in, there's even more seating. It seems to be a good size to think of calling a slave here or something.

And when you look at the insignificant fact that you've recommended your front seat to me, he already understands that I'm the guest of the day. Looks like he cared about me on the road too, and I still don't know where he guessed before this one talked... boulder Those three just keep their mouths together and say they're excellent.

When he rings the bell, which was very naturally placed at his desk, he gives instructions to the woman who came out of the next room to prepare a drink. Smart enough to have a series of motions.

"Well, Master Takebayashi. What kind of slave did you hire today?

"Right......"

In the meantime, tell them that you own a laundry shop and tell them that you mainly want people who can work as security guards.

"When you become a guard, you can still add to your strengths and leave them to you unless you're someone you can trust quite a bit. A person who combines both of them, and becomes more of a store…"

"I understand. In the short run, you can ask the Adventurer Alliance, but in the long run, it's hard."

If you really have an arm, it's the adventurer who's more likely to get a lot of money in it than hired, for example, in the Warcraft Crusade. Some people say no to the long term anyway if it's short term, and there's no way they can conveniently find someone who's skilled and happens to be thinking about retiring every time.

"As for this request, it's personality oriented, and of course, I've never crossed it with good arms about strength. But if the foundation is in place, Faye, the head of security here, will work out."

I want to see the strength and character of the slave and let him talk to you about the price on it. Mr. Callum tells me that if there's really a better one, I won't miss my chance, and I can sign a contract with him on summary judgment, but on this condition, will I see how it goes?

"Personality Focus... If..."

When Mr. Morton takes his seat, he takes a bunch of paperwork out of the shelf that was behind him, and in the meantime brings it with a pinch of things like signs.

"Thank you for waiting. We have information on slaves in our paperwork, so start with this list of combat-based skill holders and choose who you care about"

It seems to be the process of narrowing it down somewhat in the paperwork review and then meeting.

This document is designed to be easy to read and includes your name, gender, race and background, as well as the skills you possess and their level.

"You're going to go into so much detail..."

"Because the value of slavery changes dramatically depending on how you can work, what knowledge and skills you have. Slaves are obliged to disclose information on the status board. And we'll look at that information and put a fair price on slaves.

Takebayashi-sama's request, around here. You will be a level 2-3 slave with the combat skills you own. Candidate highly regarded people among them. "

"... the price written here. Even the same kind of strength can fall apart."

"This is the difference between a debt slave who was sold himself as collateral for debt and one who is not. Debt Slaves are liquidated instead of being sold to slave traders, but we slave traders pay for the repayment."

Oh, so the debt is added to its original value. Because they will lose money if they sell for less than or equal to their debt.

"Exactly."

The dossier is easy to understand and will be carefully explained by Mr Morton.

Thanks to this, for the first time, but the selection of candidates is going well.

... really why are Mr. Reinhardt and the others still on guard against him?
