The selection of candidates was concluded immediately.

Because the materials were easy to see and summarize, they did not fit the criteria but could be discerned at a glance.

But...... even though we only pulled out people who fit the criteria, there were more than 50 left.

I'd like to refine further from here because there are still many...

"... I don't know what to say... you all feel alike or stopping by..."

The majority of them are experiencing adventurers, frustrated that it didn't work. Or have a background in creating debt from failure.

"Generally the majority of those with combat skills are adventurers. Occasionally some people have a background in escorts, but that's also because they still have a proven track record of working as adventurers and are sure to have power."

"I see..."

But with all these similar backgrounds, what should I choose based on...

"Mr. Faye, is there anything?

"Difficult sir......"

"Once upon a time, my men, my experience with them,"

"That's one yo. But I've never chosen it this way, sir. Train those who come. That's all. We don't listen, we don't think. Soya people, will be gone naturally"

"Oh, really..."

Does that “gone” mean it'll be corrected during training? Or...

Let's not think about it. Focus on this one now.

The personality aspect may contain some sales talk, but it wouldn't be that out-of-target evaluation. Selling slaves with a foot-colored rating will find out later on by the buyers, and I don't think such a store will get Mr. Reinhardt's ratings.

… you hire as a store escort, so what you absolutely need is "combat capability." Let's put this first.

Only 3 people with Combat Skills are selected from the candidate's materials.

Then this alone reduced the number of candidates to 12 at once. Almost a quarter.

"Just one different level reduces it a lot."

"Hehe..."

... Did I say something strange?

"Excuse me. Well, it's not uncommon to have a few years to raise one, as the skill level goes up through appropriate training and action. Also, the higher the level, the harder it will be to raise, and then it will take decades before…

Therefore, if there is a difference in level, it is said that there is also a clear difference in strength. If you're at least better at the same weapon, one-on-one versus front-to-front, you'll have a better chance of winning "

Having said all that, Mr. Morton goes on to say even more “especially…".

I didn't understand what that meant for a moment.

"For Takebayashi, there must be no difference between levels 2 and 3."

"... and say?

When I asked, he smiled slightly.

And I feel signs that Mr. Reinhardt and the others will be more vigilant...

"Master Takebayashi is also an adventurer, isn't he? That is also very strong. I don't know much about martial arts... but to be honest, I've been looking into you for a long time."

"I was looking into it, was I? Not what I was hearing."

It doesn't seem like there's anything backwards because it feels like we're talking honestly like this.

"May I ask why the hell?

"There are several reasons. Firstly, that the three of you and Master Griciera are behind you… I think you've heard this if you're some powerful merchant. Because it is somewhat popular in commercial guild information networks.

Secondly, a preliminary investigation as a slave trader. Would you say the launderer with the slime started by Mr. Takebayashi was a little special, unprecedented? And not just new business, but there's a risk of failure to launch. That's how many managers fail and come to us. "

That's why they pay somewhat attention to information such as new stores, prominent stores, and then recession stores. He also thought I wouldn't get cornered that far because I have 4 big back shields...

"And the third reason. I was simply interested in you. What kind of person is Lyoma Takebayashi, including the breadth of his face and the new business he devised? and"

Of the reasons, the third one feels the most pressurizing, albeit most succinctly…

"After looking into it, he thought he was strong enough not to be his opponent at level 2 or 3"

"I'm sure it's true. The first person to show up at the beginning was a long-lost crusade request in the North Mine... he led an extremely rare number of slimes manipulating weapons into battle, right? You think that's also the first time a crusade request has been joined to an E-rank team? The day before that I responded alone to help a child tangled up in a group of malicious adventurers, one of whom was an instant kill, even though he was C-ranked. Isn't that right? Oh...... why do you know so much about it? The captured C-rank man came to me, enslaved as a punishment, and registered as a criminal slave in our store."

"Was it? The world is narrow..."

"Yeah, really... I was sent to a certain coal mine after registration, but I had a chance to exchange a few words in the days before that. The moment he defeated, he said," I don't know what happened "and" I was losing when I realized it ”. But his skillboard has War Axe Level 3. That is to say, although it is a general category, strength was certain. Regardless of whether you just defeat it, if it's a moment that doesn't even make you perceive, you're almost certain to be in character. It is also inconceivable that you were caught off guard in the circumstances. Even if you are alarmed by your appearance, you are strong enough to win. Oh, speaking of which, you had this conversation."

……

In an excited way, one thing after the other came out of his mouth as he went through the rap.

Basically, rumors in Gimru and such, but stories about inaugural festivals and his role as a teacher in rookie training.

Hi, I hear I was secretly famous as an adventurer with an unusual slime...

"I've also heard that they're crusading the bounty neck. You think you defeated the famous" Merzen the Red Spear ”and crusaded a group of 15 thieves before this? Whoa, that was with your fay. Lady Faye seems to be quite skilled."

… Until recently, personal information has been compromised at a beefy stalking level.

"Wohon! Mmm..."

"Oops! Excuse me. I'm in the middle of a conversation."

"No, you've looked that far into what you say..."

"Not so much. All I have been gathered is since Takebayashi was active in Gimru. I couldn't find anything before that other than" hiding in the Ghanaian Forest ”. As if it had appeared neglected there, I couldn't keep up with the patch. I feel powerless."

It would be awesome if we could go after him. Is this where Mr. Reinhardt and the others were wary...?

"I have always liked to listen to slaves and customers... men and women alike. Children, adults and the elderly. People, beasts, elves, dwarves, dragoneworths. There are so many different professions, shapes, and even a word“ person ”. What each one of them thinks and does and lives on. It makes me want to know about people who have taken different paths, not the same as one. Yeah, sometimes it's taken in a sexual way when I say this, but it's not, is it? Well, that's you, man and woman and race alike."

I'm not listening! Or doesn't that end up the same!?

Well, if you're in a relationship with someone your age that's not against the law, that's something to say anyway...

The strike zone just seems so big.

From being accustomed to Earth's geek culture, the attributes of characters appearing in cartoons and comics would be so cluttered.

Cat ears, beast ears, and maids are not uncommon. Even the average person knows about Tundele right now. If you look any further, it's a man's daughter (...), or honestly, it's a BL, and at the end of the sentence, there's a genre of robo-daughters.

Personally, I don't deny that kind of hobby or same-sex romance separately.

I'm sorry if I'm the target. But if not...

“Mr. Olest Morton is fine."

That's what I concluded in my head.

But this is the one you're all on guard over here?

It's hard to tell if there's nothing to grasp...

"... excuse me. One more thing. What is the level of Takebayashi-sama's combat skills?

"Orest. I don't pry like that outside of work. Lyoma's not a slave or anything, is she?

While I was thinking, there were quietly heavy words from Mr. Piolo, who usually had a strong impression of a bright and light condition.

Sure, I can't say that kind of prying is good as manners...

"Thank you. But it's okay, Mr. Piolo."

I wonder what...... this guy is simply interested and honest impression of the desire.

I don't feel evil about pulling out my information and using it.

You said your makeup skin peeled off or you threw it off... anyway, it came out of nature, but somehow I have myself feeling more mysterious intimacy than just being a good young man earlier...

"I personally wouldn't do anything to buy your anger, either."

I saw something scary, okay? I just wanted to step in here a little bit.

Turn to Mr. Morton and disclose some of the information.

"The basics are swordsmanship and somatology. Both levels are 7."

……

Tense air and silent indoors.

The strained air comes from three adults who are in a position like my guardian.

All silent...... only Mr. Serge is sweating badly.

Neighbor Faye just drinks tea without me involved.

Was Mr. Morton unexpected, or did you not think I would speak honestly?

A slightly surprising look, but more than that, the interest and excitement seemed clear.

"Level 7. I didn't imagine that much for boulders."

"It could be a joke, right?

"Hehe... you're afraid of that calming down"

Don't look away, look at each other.

Well, how does he take it?

You think that's a lie? Or do you believe that?

I'm not lying, and I'm just gonna be grand.

"Rest assured. We will not abuse your information as a merchant, even if you do not have a back shield. Number one, if you give me a bad hand, I'm going to get hurt more."

Even though Mr. Reinhardt and the others are still looking at me harshly, it seems interesting and very naturally makes me say so.

"But when you do, you'll still feel unreliable at level 2 or 3"

Apparently he takes my word for it and moves on, but at the same time he's the most seriously bothered he's ever been.

"What's wrong?

"… please wait a moment"

Take a seat and bring a new bunch of paperwork.

"This is a slightly wacky list of slaves..."

"Wacky, you say?

"Unlike slaves on a regular list, those who do not become a workforce. Old people, too young children, those who are unable to fully demonstrate their abilities due to injuries, illnesses, or after-effects. Basically I wouldn't recommend it to my customers, but there's actually only one level 5 swordsman in here right now"

He rolls through the paperwork as he talks and gently shows the page where the person's information is written.

"Ox Road, 37. He is a male of the Bull tribe and does look like a double swordsmanship level 5..."

Reading the column with his background seems to be a pretty strong person, but it also details why this person is on this list.

Says he introduces himself to a "gladiator” training center where he plays games in public and entertains the audience after being protected in a church orphanage and raised to the age of 15. Since then, he has appeared on the headlines, and in his 20s he has served as a leading famous gladiator. He has entered his 30s and seems to have won only first-rate tournaments...

He then injured his left hand in a certain game. The wound itself appeared to be a small, immediate healing injury, but the condition of the wound deteriorated and he was forced to cut first from his wrist.

The note states that the Cattle are a species of great stature and superior strength, and that many people fight lightly and flashly with heavy armor and weapons when they are popular commercial gladiators.

What he was good at was twin swords attacking by hand, but the cow clan's power seemed to be fully exploited.

His fierce attack, lightly manipulated with a bespoke double sword much heavier than normal, is heavy and fast.

He was admired for combining power and speed, as if it were a storm...

"A double-swordsman who lost one hand. Naturally, you can't fight like you did before you lost your hand. But even one hand can wave a sword, and at least one level 3 slave has the strength to beat it. Due to his background as a gladiator, he also has extensive experience in interpersonal combat, and usually serves as a practicing opponent for slaves with combat skills. I was wondering if I could help you mentor Master Faye."

Certainly might be enough as a store escort. If I can provide technical guidance, I can also think of looking to the future... but I am concerned that I have a strong obsession as a person-rated swordsman. The price is 8 million more suits and higher than the others. What kind of assessment is this?

If you ask me frankly,

"He has earned his living only with his sword and his own arms, I guess there is also a kind of pride. Having lost one arm, I still hope to go under the Lord, who will buy me the arm of a sword if it is to be sold, without lacking training every day. Before I cut off my left hand, I used special magic pills to buy time to find a way to cure it without slashing it."

"Buy time. Could it be a" blocker "?"

"Did you know? Exactly."

“Stoppers" … as the name suggests, magic drugs that stop the wound from getting worse. A strange but real drug in this world, not to maintain the status quo with wound disinfection and treatment, but to keep the wound as if stopping time. It should have been a pretty expensive pill as far as I can remember.

"As a well-known gladiator, I also earned what I deserved, but I couldn't give up when I ran out of everything on the drug payment, depending on how much I owed and got here. This includes debts left over from disposing of homes and household belongings, with the exception of only love swords"

"Didn't you just sell the sword?"

"Yes. I definitely need to let that go. I've tried to convince you many times, but I even told you I'd choose death if I sold you enough swords."

"That's a lot more..."

I'm kind of anxious, but would an escort do the job right?

"There seem to be places where you can't give in with respect to the sword, but other than that, he's a pretty discerning person to talk to. With the swordsmanship instruction of our slaves, we are able to confirm that we have a full sense of responsibility to do the work we are given.

For the first time about the price, I will study that as it is also your introduction, and split is fine. It's free until the last time you sign a contract, so why don't you see how it goes once in addition to the candidate before you make a decision?

"If that's what you mean"

You recommended it because of me, and I'll see other people on either path.

You could add another one there.

Then we'll get back to it, but shall we narrow down the candidate a little bit?

Now I'll think about it with Mr Moreton's advice.

Then,

"How do you squeeze candidates? So while you're at it... it's better for a woman to accept sexual intercourse, isn't it?

To the words that came out of the seriousness, I came gawking.

"Sorry, I'm not looking for slaves for that purpose..."

"That's why! So, there is. Slavery is not recommended for customers who are intended for that purpose. If you just have the money to buy a slave for sexual purposes, it is so safer and less corrupt to go to a whorehouse without being shy.

Some women want to open up a little faster when they become debt slaves and also acknowledge their sexual activity. But people like that tend to be susceptible to problems such as self-abandonment because they have become slaves, or when it comes to having trouble and getting violent. It's not so easy to break with people's minds. I'm not saying that all slaved women are, but they're not ready to sell their bodies.

Conversely, well-prepared women tend to work in some whorehouse before they become slaves and try to pay off their debts. If you are such a person, you will also await repayment of your debt to some extent, and it is not impossible to pay it off there. I'll take care of it, because some people don't care about the ugliness of appearance if you can act, and if you can wait to pay off your debts and take more interest, it's more profitable. "

Oh, oh... that's right.

I thought you were kidding, Mr. Morton, who speaks so seriously that he's overwhelmed.

I can't grasp the pace of this guy from earlier.

"Mr. Orest. Lyoma on the boulder, I think it's too soon to tell you about that hand."

"Duke, this is an extremely serious story in purchasing slaves. Especially Master Takebayashi. This is his first slave purchase. Even when you think about when you're going to grow up and have a lot of feelings, in case anything goes wrong, you just need to have a contract that you've agreed to beforehand as a slave, in the sense that it's legal.

Especially Master Takebayashi, who seems to be a lot more adult already, and doesn't seem to have anything to do with a woman using her identity as a shield...... there are stories of working clerks getting their hands on slaves and problems. It is not advisable to purchase slaves for the main purpose of sexual activity, otherwise we recommend slaves who have consented to sexual activity in case they do not come under the law "

Mr. Morton doesn't pull a step.

Even with the addition of Mr Serge and Mr Piolo, he sometimes flows seriously, sometimes floating.

Even then, he weaves statements that upset him into a serious story.

I can tell if I don't like it if I keep getting a serious look at it for making fun of it.

He seemed to be observing my reaction from the beginning...
