For one thing, we were to head to the cabin where Mr. Rabbi and the others lived. Because my stomach sued me for hunger without reading the air! Ugh, embarrassing! But thanks to the soothing air, I was invited to the house by Rabbi, who smiled with a scratch. Thanks for your help......!
On the road, Richt explains what has happened so far. I found the look on Rabbi's face getting more and more harsh as I listened to that story.
"Huh, I see. We now know why Richt is suddenly gone. Those two were sudden, weren't they?
Asked, both me and Ronnie shake their heads vertically. It was all of a sudden with no foretaste, really! Maille was surprised too...... but it was good when someone watched me. I'm sure you're reporting it to everyone. Worry, I would be letting you...
"Ma, let's have dinner for now! I'm hungry. I can't do anything. Sit down!
I guess you found me sinking in remembrance of everyone. Mr. Rabbi suddenly said that to me in a bright voice. He cared for me because he stroked my head gently, too. My first impression was that, but you're really a sweet guy! Huh.
Warm soups line the table. In consomme soup with vegetables, bread, then some kind of meat? Looks like chicken, though.
"I'm sorry you don't have a big deal. But the number of people has grown, so I used the meat I kept!
Save it! Can I get something like that...... Mr. Rabbi laughs nicely and opens his mouth when such an idea was on his face.
"Now is the right time to keep it. It was already cooked, and you're going to eat it at night. Never mind. Eat well."
"Oh, thank you very much!
Yeah, I knew this guy was a good guy. Because of this, I will sweeten your words!
The soup is a very ordinary soup, but the warmth creeps through your body. The bread was a little stiff, but when I dipped it in the soup and ate it, the juwah spread the flavor and it was delicious. And the meat is textured. I knew it was chicken. But unlike chicken I know, a bite spreads gravy in my mouth and it's very juicy. I wonder if I'm using vanilla to cook it. So delicious!
"Hehe, you look delicious to eat. It's worth it! I'm sorry about the excess."
"Meg must have been eating good food usually, and I thought a common folk meal might not fit, but you look fine with that!
Well, I do have a sense that I'm usually eating delicious food in Sister Chio's or in the city cafeteria. But these common folk meals? It's in the city, and I eat it every once in a while, so it's perfectly fine. Or even compared to that, I think it's delicious!
"You mean Meg? Is Meg good enough for this lady or something? Pretty cute, I'm convinced."
Shit, I didn't introduce myself yet! What a mess you're taking care of......! Oh, but is it okay to tell Mr. Rabbi who I am, too? Eh, saying, did you guess that, Richt took over the word with a smile on his face?
"Rabbi is my benefactor and I can trust him! So talk to me. You'll be fine."
"I don't care if they trust me very much... but does that make sense?
Mr. Rabbi, who said so with his cheek cane, stared at us with tender eyes. When I look at Chira and Richt, he nodded with a powerful eye, so I cement my resolve. I'm taking such good care of you. I have to say hello properly!
"Uh, it's Meg. I lived in the Devil's Land. Uh, elf, it was..."
That's what I said. I took the necklace off my neck like I just showed the two of you. I showed you my true hair color and eye color. Then Mr. Rabbi rounded his eyes and stopped the movement... Oh, hey. Are you okay?
"............... First time, I saw..."
"Well, we were surprised, too. So much for losing your voice?
Mr. Rabbi finally squeezed out his voice. Richter has a bewildered and subtle face.
"That's it! Don't you know? It's a child, isn't it? Besides, what an elf deals at a much higher price than a rare sub..."
He was Mr. Rabbi, who stood up and raised his voice unexpectedly to Richt's words, but suddenly he cut the words when he realized something.
"... sorry. I didn't have a good choice of words. You didn't have a delicacy."
And I told him that I was sorry. As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind because I knew I had that fact... but I actually felt like I couldn't say if I heard it from someone else it would be true.
"... yeah. I know, and I'm fine."
"Still. I'm sorry I made you feel bad."
But this guy is still a good guy with good roots because he realized it himself properly and made a firm apology to such a child. I laughed and received an apology because I would surely care if I didn't receive an apology.
"... but hey, is that what the country's been up to?"
When Ronnie and Rabbi also finished introducing themselves briefly, Rabbi leaned against the back of the chair and muttered so.
"You know something?
Mr. Rabbi sighs in arms to Richt, who rides himself out and asks. Then he nods lightly and starts talking.
"You know this country and the Demon King's country of the Demon Continent are trading through mines, right?
I think I heard it somehow when I went to Demon King's Castle. I traded in minerals or something. I'm sure minerals trade with this country mainly, right? I nodded and answered. Looks like Richt and Ronnie know too. Is it natural to know that Ronnie is from the mine?
"It's basically minerals and food, isn't it? There's human trafficking going on back there. But even though the deal behind it, both countries are approved deals. It's not a very stand-out business."
"Is it approved...? It's like the slave trade."
Richt clutched his fist and wrinkled between his brows. You seem disgusted by the fact that you are a slave. Yeah, well, I know how you feel.
"Of course, it doesn't matter who he is. Only criminals are sold. That's also a capital offender. The table makes you think you've executed him, sold him as a real slave, and he's over the continent. Well, not all death row inmates, and I'm sure they'll consider a lot of things. Sadly, there are evil hobbies that want slaves. Well, most of them are bought by the state, and they make them work for free."
If you're a criminal, well, Richt just pulled out a little bit of shoulder power. You mean live to make amends.
But Mr. Rabbi puts both elbows on the table and opens his mouth again with a serious look.
"Behind that deal, the bad guys are doing bad things."
"Bad, thing...?
I get anxious and squeeze my clothes on my knees. Yes, Mr. Rabbi tells me.
"There's an organization that grabs young, capable people, sells them out with the rich people they want, and earns them a fortune."
