Chapter 18 – Slave


The negotiation with Rio was finished and I came back in good spirit. In terms of result, my adventurer rank was promoted to B-rank. Originally, there’s a need to take an exam from C-Rank, but it was pushed through because of my achievements and victory against Cashel. Even though it is obvious, I’m an active person. The subjugation reward is a ridiculous amount. However, Gerard was beaten.


“I heard Kel-chan. You’re a B-rank now huh?”


Claire seems already have heard about it. The wives’ information network is terrifying.


For just only one week being an adventurer, I became indebted to this good-spirited(person). Angie-san really referred me to a good inn. And above all, the food is delicious.


“The news came quickly. From whom you heard it?”
“It became a rumor among the adventurers. Our young customer became the center of the talk. No, but it reached my ear.”
“But I don’t really want to stand out personally”
“What are you talking about? Being promoted for just only one week, I never heard that before. It is amusing that you’ll attract attention.”


Right.


“You’re right, Claire-san. For today’s dinner, is it alright to add for one more person when I came back?”
“I don’t mind, who will you bring, a friend?”
“Kinda like that”
“I understand, I guess I’ll increase the dishes as celebration.”
“That is what I’m waiting for you to say!”


To ensure the lavish dinner, I went to my room.


[Going out?]


I changed clothes from magic robe to plain clothes, and took out money from Chloto-Bank, when Gerard asked.


“Oh, I’m just going to buy a slave for a moment”
[…my lord is at the energetic age, it is completely normal]
“Do not misunderstand this thing”


There are slaves in this world. There are a variety of reasons to fall into the status of being a slave, such as being in debt, being sold by parents, being kidnapped. A slave has a magic item called a collar of subordination, and falls into a kind of curse state. When a slave is sold the contract is established only by touching the collar of the master’s blood and using a special spell. In this contract a slave will not be able to hurt his master because of the curse.Killing a slave owned by somebody else is prohibited by the law unless justified. Regarding this, every country seems to be common, and whether it is aristocrat or not will be given a heavy punishment. However, since the master is the owner of a slave, how to treat it is allowed. There are circumstances, that handling of slaves that can be speak of.


[Train slaves and put them in the party? ]
“Oh, I was consulting with Mel Fina before.”


A born slave can not use any skill points at all. Because of a subordination curse, a slave is unable to acquire skills unless the owner’s permission is given. This allows the master to allocate points based on the master’s preference.


“The fight with Gerard was pretty hard, and from now on we are against opponents of such a level, isn’t it better to increase our fighting strength even a little bit?”
[It’s reasonable. So, do you want the slave to be a woman? ]
“Naturally”


What is pleasing buying a male slave?

『………』
[………]


Melfina’s silence hurts, but I can not concede here.This is a man ‘s romance!


[I understand, I understand you milord!]


Gerard in mind (also the objective is also included) agrees with me.


I got the approval of our knight, it is decided on majority vote of 3:1. Clotho does not oppose me from the beginning. Well then let’s go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


In slave business, I look at the items with the slave merchant. Of course the products are slaves.


“How about this daughter of a beastman? It just became a slave, skills are used and are related to combat skills”


As the good looking beastman being introduced, I activated the Eye of Appraisal. Surely the skill got fighting techniques and herculean strength……


“I need a slave that is not bad and still haven’t used any skill point”
“That’s right, I guess …”


While the slave merchant is thinking, I suddenly looked at the corner of the room and there was an elf in a cage. I wonder if the hair is blond but it is dirty and dull. Clothes she is wearing is also poor compared to others. Is the ear slightly shorter than a half-elf? Somehow she have been handcuffed.


That half-elf has not been introduced yet.


Look at the status with Eye of Appraisal.


“………!?  Shopkeeper, how about that half-elf?”
“Yes? Oh , that [thing] over there?  It came the other day but it is cursed. It burns the things its hand touches. Even the bow too, it can’t be used as a play-thing too. Even if the monks dismissed the curse, the curse did not disappear. I am troubled because there is no buyer.” 


Melfina, how much of the curse you can lift?


[It’s a curse of Fire Dragon King. It is possible to dispel it with the Class-A White Magic 【Salvation of God (Sacred Breath)】]


Skill Points… should be fine, sufficient enough.


“Can you sell this girl?”
“Yes, I do not care, but … is it okay?”
“Yeah, I’ll buy.”


The slave merchant removes handcuffs and let out the half-elf out of the cage.


“Get out. Your buyer has been decided“
“……eh?”


It seems the half-helf did not think that there is anyone who will buy her. The body of the half-elf is very thin and the hair became so dull. The chest…… it is fine. The face is hidden by the bangs and can not be seen well, but it is well understood that it is beautiful. Elves are known as beautiful in this world. Of course the half-elves too.


“For now, I will do the contract ceremony.”


The slave-trader touched the collar of the elf with a handkerchief soaked with my blood and cast a spell.


“It is done with this. Whatever happens with curses, we won’t take responsibility, okay?”
“That’s enough”


I faced the half-elf.


“E-eeto…… Thank you very much for buying me. Efir says.
“I am Kelvin. From now  on please take care of me.”
“Nice to meet you……”


Efir seems to be still nervous.


“Ano, about my curse … ….”
“Let’s go out of here, for the time being”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


We walked into the deserted alley. Efir’s face is becoming darker.


“A-ano……”
“Well then, shall we break the curse of Efir?”
“……eh?”


I raised the white magic to Class A earlier. I have enough MP, so I just have to chant it.


I casted 【Salvation of God (Sacred Breath)】. Faint light wrapped around the hands of Efil, then it scattered after a while.


“It should be done with this.”


I tried to grasp Efil’s hands. Yes, it is soft.


“D-dangerous—eh……? W-what?”


Efir looked at me with face of astonishment. Then……


“U-ueeeeeeen!:


She started to cry.
