"In the meantime, I'm going to the slave trader in the next town. Conditions are fine, middle-aged male slaves."

As a result of the discussion, I still bought a slave.

Mr. Ratlua's story says that the closer we get to the King's Capital, the more people with dangerous thoughts.

In squares with many people, it stands out because you are alone.

There's a little resistance, but if they're after us like this one, we need to take care of it.

Middle-aged men are conditional because they are of similar age to my father.

When parents and children see you when they see you, they don't see you prominently.

The reason I'm not a woman seems to be that men are more of a wall.

"If you're a slaver in a neighboring town, I know you, so I'll write you a letter."

I thank Mr Sifal for his words.

With that said, he also knew the eldest son of a slaver in this town.

That's a strange friendship.

"I'll keep my terms together."

"Thank you"

I think I'll manage to keep my journey safe.

But I really didn't know you were going to buy slaves... I hope there are good people out there.

"Ivy, you can't compromise when you decide to be a slave. It's an important journey."

"Yes."

Mr Sifal tells me not to choose if you feel uncomfortable with someone who does not fit the conditions, or even someone who fits the conditions.

He told me to choose carefully because he's an important partner in making the journey together.

"Sola, you fell asleep."

Following Mr. Sifal's gaze, Sora is asleep next to me.

Sleeping again.

Don't sleep really well.

"How much sleep does that slime need?

"Sleep?"

Mr. Ratlua gives a bewildered look.

"Sora has been sleeping longer lately. I'm worried there's something wrong."

Caress Sora slowly.

He woke me up before, but lately he hasn't woken up after stroking me.

Is it because you are at ease, or is there a different reason?

"It's the first time Sola's seen Slime sleeping in the first place."

Mr. Sifal also nods at Mr. Ratlua's words.

Don't you see it?

"You'll only see about Tamer"

Right, Slime is one of the demons.

Unless Tamer tames and makes friends, don't you see him asleep?

"But I've never heard of slime sickness, and you're okay with it?

"Right, you've never heard of Slime getting sick. I'm sure the conversation will come in because of the important role of garbage disposal."

Good.

Then I guess I'll be fine.

"Well, it's time to go back to the square"

Mr. Ratlua lifts his arms up and relaxes his body.

When I move to stretch my body, too, it seems to have solidified and feels good.

"I think I'll come with you. I want Ivy's dinner."

That's kind of a happy word.

"Let's buy something sweet and go home. I'm tired of thinking too much."

Mr Sifal also agrees with Mr Ratlua's words.

Sure, you've been bothering me a lot about Ciel and Sola.

"Thank you"

"Fine. It's not right for you to say you're just worried about me without doing anything."

"Yeah, well, Sifal's right. Well, we haven't decided on a slave yet, so I'm not entirely relieved."

Leave Mr. Sifal's house and head to the square.

I bought sweetness along the way, but the amount was......

"Isn't that a little too much?

"What? You wouldn't be"

See how much sweetness the 3 of us have.

I don't care how you look at it, it looks like it's for about 25 people.

Mr. Borolda wasn't supposed to come back to the square today.

Mr. Nouga and Mr. Rickbelt are not here either.

"Ivy, you can eat all this by yourself, Ratlua."

"What! All this?

"Yes. I'll say it's okay after dinner. Absolutely. Because the sweetness seems different."

The sweetness is a different belly.

Words like I heard somewhere, but where was it?

Well, more than that.

I try to remember all the sweetness I bought.

There must have been something sweet.

"Amazing. A little respect... I don't think so."

You have no respect.

I'm pulling a little.

"Oh, wait a minute. I also recommend the sweetness there."

Still buying?

He gave me a slightly frightened look as I dropped off Mr. Ratlua heading to the store.

"That shop is Ratlua's favorite."

"Really?"

The three of us return to the square with sweetness in both hands.

Mr. Seiselk is frightened when he sees him.

"What, the amount of that sweetness? Is something wrong?

It is frightening but I am also worried.

That's Mr. Seiselk.

"I was consulted about my journey."

"Oh well. Are you okay?"

"Yes."

I thank Mr. Seiselk and go get ready for dinner.

I don't know what to make of it.

From this hour on, there's not enough time to simmer.

Speaking of which, you didn't eat fried food.

Deep-fried or something delicious, right?

... deep-fried, good.

"Okay, fried chicken."

Season the meat and just fry, so it's easy.

Ah, it's massive because Mr. Sifal is here.

Let's do our best.

……………………

Deep-fried yesterday was a great success.

He didn't seem to eat much fried food and looked uncommon.

With that said, there's not a lot of fried food in the stalls.

As sweet as you can see?

Is that it?

What fried meat... well, don't worry about it.

It was delicious, so everything was fine.

And donned to the amount of sweetness Mr. Ratlua consumed after dinner.

That's just it.

Right now, I just remembered a little chest injury.

Oh, sweet on fried food...... maybe the combination was a little bad.

"Whoa, Ivy, good morning"

Mr. Ratlua greets me refreshingly.

Is it unrelated to heartburn?

"Good Morning"

"I bought you some bread."

"... thank you"

Do you eat breakfast well?

Somehow Mr. Ratlua may have a stronger stomach than Mr. Nouga.

"I'll have it ready in a minute."

I'm ready last night, so I'm just gonna warm it up.

It was gutted meat for dinner, so I left it in a light flavored soup full of vegetables.

"Morning."

Mr. Seiselk wakes up, holding his stomach for a moment.

Well, if you ate a ton of fried chicken and all that sweetness, it would also come to your stomach.

"Good morning. Shall we just have soup?

"Hahaha, you ate a little too much. Just the soup. Say hello."

Everyone woke up and it was breakfast, but Mr. Ratlua and I were the only ones who even ate bread.

Mr. Sifal back in his own house, I'm sure he'll be fine.

"Oh, I left Ivy a message. Did you talk to him yesterday?

Shake your head to the side of Mr. Seiselk's words.

I haven't heard anything.

"Bad. They want you to come and get it because the money's ready."

It's finally here.

"Uh, I'll be there from lunch today"

"Right. I'll tell you in the morning, I have a meeting with the captain."

"Yes, thank you"

I have to be prepared.

Perhaps you were right to ask Mr Ratlua and Mr Sifal a certain amount of money in this regard.

Suddenly, if they told me 50 gold coins or something, I might have acted confused and something strange.

"Soup, can I change it?

Given what's been going on since lunch, Mr. Ratlua's energetic voice is a little resentful now.

Staring back, he looked back at me with a strange look.

Ha, how much is it?

I'm getting nervous now.

Yes, it's a lot of money, isn't it?

Could they give you a lot of money in the stuffing?

Wow, it would be horrible if it were.

I need to go put it in my account right away.

Yes, would you come with me to the commercial guild if I asked the captain?

Exactly, I don't like carrying a lot of money by myself.

Or scared.

Let's ask for it.
