We’re cornered! Cornered! Definitely cornered!
At a colosseum? There’s a gladiator tournament? The champion prize is magic rooms of a foreign country?
Meaning classrooms are the prize! Isn’t that bad! We’ll have to win!
Yet, why! I understand Mono, Di and Tri! That means solo battles, pair battles, 2v2 then 3v3 right? But, what’s Hexa! 6!? Why did it suddenly increase! And even more so what’s Nona! 9!? We don’t have enough people!
If, if okay? Actually, we only have 8 combat personnel alright? Am I, to join? ……I’ll die.

“That tournament, can one person register for multiple sections?”
Ah, Toriumi has noticed the same thing. Mhm, good boy.
“Nn? Aah. you can. Those that are quite strong aim for all five crowns. ……oh? What, knight-sama will be entering too?”
“Ah, mhm. Strong people gathering, interests me slightly.”
Seeing how he casually hides his objective, this guy’s ability to lie casually can be said to be very high.
“But, since Mono is 1 person you can enter, Di is 2 so at worst you can enter with that slave, but Tri is 3 people and Hexa is 6, when it comes to Nona it’s 9. Do you have the people?”
“Nn—, well, I have some ideas.”
Well, there’s 8, 8.
“Oh, really? Then that’s fine, but I also deal with slaves yeah?”
“Heh, for example?”
“Let’s see, I deal with everything from combat slaves to sex slaves.”
“Any good combat slaves?”
“Ah, Knight-sama already has a sex slave.”
He doesn’t!
……ah, is that what others think I am? Toriumi seems to be feeling extremely awkward, isn’t that nice, to have a full face helmet. Otherwise this store uncle might have gotten suspicious.
……oh yeah, how is everyone, er, dealing with that?
No, nothing can be done even if I think about it and it’s not something for me to think about……mhm, just as before, I’ll act normal and pretend I don’t know.

“……until 3 days ago, I had a foreign slave for sale. But a noble bought it as a combat slave. For the gladiator tournament. If knight-sama is participating too then be careful. That one’s strong. Foreign slaves really are of a different level.”
……re, really?
As expected, a student from our school has already been sold into slavery.
But there’s nothing to be done about that. Since he is probably going to be sent to the gladiator tournament, we will have a chance to come into contact.
“I see, that’s a shame. Normal slaves won’t really do it. Are there other stores selling foreign slaves?”
“Na—h, just the fact that they are foreigners makes them valuable. It’s a miracle one was here until 3 days ago. Most are bought by nobles the instant they come in. Seems the nobles also have interest in those foreign magic rooms, and without that the prize weapons of the gladiator tournament are said to be excellent ones with the blessing of [Lost Techniques]. All the nobles that are aiming for first want strong slaves. There’s none left among those I know.”
……guess not. If there was someone leftover, there would have still have been the option of buying them.
“I see. By the way, do you know how many foreign slaves there are in the market so far?”
“Nn—, knight-sama, any more would be a trade secret.”
……of cou—rse.
Can’t be helped, then, this.
“Here, information fee.”
Toriumi thought of the same thing. When he passed 10 silver to the uncle, the uncle widened his eyes in surprise. ……ah, was that a large sum?
“Hehehe, thanks for your patronage. You pay well, knight-sama. I like well-paying customers.”
“Thanks. So, information.”
“Okay okay. The foreign slaves in the market. Let’s see, as far as I know, about 6. 3 of them were all bought by a certain great noble. ……what is it knight-sama, interested in your opponents?”
“Well yeah. Also, I would like to buy one if possible, but guess that’s impossible.”
“I doubt the nobles will let go of them. That’ll be a little tough.”
“I see, guess I have to give up.”
“Do that. It gets troublesome if you catch the attention of nobles. ……hey, knight-sama. For this information fee, I’ll tell you something special.”
“Oh, what?”
“First, if you’re going to be participating in the gladiator tournament, it’s better to not bring that nee-chan over there.”
Ah, multiple pieces of information?
“No matter how you think about it, that nee-chan’s gonna be taken away if you lose. Ah, it’s faster to go to the castle town for the gladiator tournament rules. Well, do your best.”
……meaning, in the rules for the gladiator tournament, other than the prize, the winner can ask for something from the loser? Or an unofficial rule?
“So, second. It’s better to not go sniffing around about foreign slaves too much. Nothing good comes of making enemies our of nobles and that’s like saying you are foreign yourself, knight-sama.”
O, oh!?
It’s exposed even with the full face helmet and full body armour!?
“So the third. ……the dress that knight-sama sold, the market price is from 500 silver and up. Hey, not knowing the market prices is like saying you’re either some ignorant royalty or noble or a foreigner.”
……this is extremely useful. We need to be more careful from now on.
But, are you okay with saying that?
That’s like saying you ripped us off, is that fine?
“Are you okay with saying that?”
“Nn, well knight-sama would just laugh it off right?”
Ah mhm, you can only laugh, yeah.
“Also. I don’t like nobles.”
Sorry, we’re kind of nobles(lol).
“So I would like it if knight-sama entered the gladiator tournament and beat the nobles’ slaves black and blue. Yeah? We have a common interest.”
“Because of that?”
“There’s not much entertainment around here. Hey, knight-sama, do your best for me.”
No matter how you think about it, there’s something else behind that, but well, we do have a common interest.
And this is quite useful information.
A person trading with nobles does not have a good impression of nobles.
This might be useful.
……this store was a bingo.
Mhm, my luck isn’t that good, so this must be Toriumi’s luck……

“Since it’s exposed that I’m a foreigner guess I’ll ask. Hey, about this dress, is there any problem with selling this on the main street?”
It seems he decided to just go for it since he’s already been exposed, looks like he decided to just rely on this relatively nice uncle and use this chance to ask a few things.
“That’s actually not recommended. You’ll get ripped off on the main street. That dress, I bought it for 250 silver, but that’s the main street price. I’ll pay double if you sell here.”
Ah, then we weren’t ripped off that much.
“Heh. That’s appreciated. Okay, then, why do people around here wear masks?”
“Well, that’s because you can’t buy or sell slaves openly. You put on a mask and on the surface, no one knows who you are.”
Official stances are important. I see, there’s that kind of troublesome things in this world too.
“What’s the market price of masks?”
“About 1 to 5 silver?”
Hm, then we have plenty of money.
“Will there be problems if I’m exposed as a foreigner?”
“Forced into slavery……or not, you have a slave after all. Let’s see, I guess getting scammed is the greatest problem? And……mhm, you might get caught up in the schemes of nobles too.”
Ooh, that would be bad. Worse than getting scammed.
Let’s be careful.

“I see, thanks. Then, I’ll come again if I have anything. Then, bye.”
Toriumi took out 20 silver from the bag and put them on the counter.
“For the information and your silence.”
“……you don’t miss a thing, knight-sama.”
“Well, I have to be able to think at least this much.”
“Seriously, you’re amazing. ……then I’ll be waiting for your next visit.”
We left the store after lightly lowering our heads to the uncle. Now, let’s hurry up to buy masks and meet up with everyone.
shopping done
For now, we found a stall in an alley selling masks with designs that really gives that mask feel, so we tried calling out. Ah, the one speaking is not me, it’s Toriumi of course.
“How much?”
“They’re all 3 silver each.”
……hm, our current money, 220 silver remaining.
Mhm, should be fine.
“H—m. Okay, then we’ll buy it here. Mary, bending down is a pain, take a look and choose suitable ones.”
“Yes, understood.”
What he is saying as he intentionally treats me like a slave, would be to use [Appraisal] to check without being suspicious. Mhm, not bad.
Okay. For now, let’s try [Appraising] them all and check if there are any curses.
……there’s some with strange bad statuses. What’s [50% Increased Bad Luck] and [5% Increased Itchiness]. Mhm. Let’s avoid those.
itchiness yes
And so, I chose 7. Toriumi also matched my performance and acted like he chose them himself. Wow, this guy, he’s quite an actor.
“Hey, I’m buying 7 of these, so can you drop 1 silver and make it 20 for me?”
“You’re buying 7? Heh, fine then, okay, 20 silvers. Thank you.”
……ooh, and he even bargained, nice, Toriumi. Gain of 1 silver.
He might have been able to cut the price further, but cutting it too much wouldn’t be good either.
Mh—m, shopping in another world is difficult.
country too
Now then, where is everyone?
They’re probably in the west area. They said they were going to sightsee, and there’s no reason to go to the other areas.
For now, we went back to where Ketorami is, and found everyone waiting, reclining on Ketorami.
Dammit, Ketorami is my futon! Even if you are my masters, I won’t give you my futon!
“Ah, welcome back.”
“Nn, we’re ba—ck. We bought masks.”
……thinking about it, it’s not like we are going to the north area again, is there a need for the masks?
Ah well. Looking closely, there are also masked people in the west area with slaves.
In the future, there might be a situation where we need to hide our faces.
“Nn, good work. So, what to do? It’s about time for lunch though.”
“Mh—m, let’s step out of town for a bit and have a strategy meeting. Things might be a little bad.”
And so, lunch is pushed back, we are getting out of town first.
tournament?
“Ooh, those from just now. What’s wrong, already leaving town?”
Ah, the soldier-san from before. Hello. It’s been a short time.
“Yes, we are going to take a look at the ocean for a bit.”
When I answered with a smile, he sent us off without any sign of suspicion.
Gullible.
