Chapter 117 – blown

Side: Yuki

For the time being, they are holding the conference about the trade relationships . Some people like Lutz, Ellis, Millie and some part of the staff came out .

(King Rochelle)「What is it, son-in-law? Do you have some business with me?」

(Yuki)「Is this not part of your business old man?」

(King Rochelle)「I will leave it to Aria . There’s nothing in particular for me to say . Because this place is not my country . 」

The Rulers from each country sent one person to our meeting room . They’re looking at the progress of the trade negotiations .
Seraria is the same .

(Yuki)「Well, would you like some liquor?」

(King)「Umu . I’d like the brandy . 」

The time of the day started to turn, but it’s still daytime .
I wonder what’s with his resistance against liquor .
I invited him, but is such a thing really okay? It’s with a feeling like this that I start to walk .

(Yuki)「You have no escort with you, is it okay?」

(King Rochelle)「You are stronger than my bodyguards . When you say that, isn’t my son-in-law the same?」

(Yuki)「It’s the same for me . Ah, but I have been told to be careful of my relationship with women . 」

(King Rochelle)「Ah, that’s how it is . My youthfulness has withered, thoughtfulness is necessary, seeing as my son-in-law is so vigorous I don’t want you to wither . It is important to remember this while making a child . 」

The King of Rochelle who also had this problem told me that .
Is it necessary to take countermeasures after all?

(King Rochelle)「But everyone around you son-in-law, including your concubines, are all busy . If there’s no soldiers, it’s a lot more fun . 」

(Yuki)「I know right? Well, I think if an answer is not given immediately, I will manage somehow . Besides, we just need to stay away or retreat from the worst . 」

(King Rochelle)「Well, isn’t that one of the answers too? Only this time, it’s about talented people . 」

That’s true .
Now, If I am going to the Government Building I better do it without an escort, I don’t want to be troubled .
That’s why . we walked inside using the customer’s door .

(???)「Ano, Yuki-san . 」

(Yuki)「Ya?」

Certainly, she should be Tiffany . One of Ellis’s subordinate .

(Tiffany)「Have you finished with the meeting already?」

(Yuki)「Yes . This person is King Rochelle . 」

I point with my finger to the grandpa at my side .

(Tiffany)「Awah!? This is inexcusable!!」

(King Rochelle)「This is not good . You’re working, right? Your diligence can only be praised, there’s no reason to criticize . Please help me by taking care of my daughter and son-in-law . 」

(Tiffany)「Ye-yes!! Thank you very much!!」

The really stiff Tiffany returns an answer .
Even if this is interesting, it’s useless because we’re not advancing with the conversation .

(Yuki)「Then, what’s wrong?」

(Tiffany)「Ah, about that . Just as we discussed, it is about how we should deal with the slave dealers, but they are already here . 」

(Yuki)「Hee, that’s too early . Then, please guide me according to schedule, I will take care of it . 」

(Tiffany)「Eh, is that okay? What is going to happen with His Highness, King Rochelle?」

(King Rochelle)「I don’t mind, just give me a brandy if you can . 」

(Yuki)「You never stop drinking huh . 」

(King Rochelle)「There’s no reason to quit . 」

This way I took out a brandy and some snacks and left him alone to his drink .
This is something I have to report to Seraria . Amen .

Now, let’s greet the slave traders as planned .
Since it’s contrary to the ethics of Weed, we received questions .
But it’s different .
The image of slaves in this world is terrible .
They have no human rights .
They’re treated like things .
There are quite many with such images, they are also synonymous of misery when you hear from the slaves of this world .
But from a different perspective, it is also a remedy for the future .
One village can be saved by exchanging someone for money .
Families are able to eat . They are saved .
This isn’t only a bad thing .
Rather, when there is no such system of slavery, it is more problematic if a village is destroyed since families starve to death .
It’s true that selling someone for money makes me frown, but it is also true that with this people can be saved .
Or rather, this is a policy fitting for this continent… . . One of its rules .

In modern Japan, there is a system that guarantees the minimum living standard . Money is paid and people can still go to the hospital .
But there is no such system on this continent .
There are mechanisms of defense in place inside villages . They are knights of the nation that fight for the honor of the country but they aren’t there to fight poverty .
You can see it with Ritea and all the citizens who fled from the capital and became refugees .
There is no way for help to reach a village .
Therefore, when a slave trader comes, it becomes another alternative .


The mean that is also called the “last way” is to save the village by converting people into money instead of losing their lives .
Well, there are a lot of downsides .

Therefore, it is actually impossible for slaves to disappear from this continent .
No, they might disappear in the distant future but not now .
Then, we can build a system that accepts people sold that way in the nation called Weed .
If you simply refuse or ignore the slaves traders, the slaves will be sold elsewhere and treated according to the laws .
However, if we accept slaves from the traders here . They are slaves who we can help and can come in handy here .
We can provide a safe place for them .
As for the trader, it is a nice place where they can sell useless slaves that won’t become the center of trade from now on . They can sell them without losing any face1) .
Indeed, we will do a reasonable examination .

And, that’s how I preached the need for slaves trader in Weed .
The representatives, especially my wives with experience of slavery were opposed initially . But after listening to my story they agreed .
From the standpoints of adventurers, it is necessary to accept that some of them buy slaves for their adventures . I think it’s okay as long as we protect the slaves from any assault with laws in Weed .

(Yuki)「Excuse me . Sorry to keep you waiting . 」

(Slave trader)「No no, thank you for answering after we came sooner than our notice . 」

This reception is dedicated to the slave trader in the first room .
This place seems to be covered with walls at first glance, but it seems that the interior can be seen with a Magic mirror .
It’s to qualify the slave traders .
In this case, Ellis left her meeting . Kaya and Delille also joined her to qualify him .

(Slave trader)「However, for the joint chief Yuki-san to meet me… . . 」

(Yuki)「Do you know me?」

(Slave trader)「Yes, that wedding . I was allowed to participate . Truly magnificent . 」

(Yuki)「That’s very kind of you . And, today’s topic is about you, slave trader, right?」

(Slave trader)「Yes, this is what I heard about . How you are recruiting slave traders in this place?」

(Yuki)「No, rather than recruiting… . . 」

With this we proceeded to the talk .

(Slave trader)「I see . Accepting slaves from outside…… 」

(Yuki)「Let’s see . If you don’t mind, we will collect the remaining slaves at a reasonable price . And if you show your aptitude, we will allow you to open up a store inside the Commercial District . 」

(Slave trader)「But in that case, wouldn’t it be enough to buy slaves from itinerant traders?」

(Yuki)「That alone won’t be stable . This Weed also requires a slave trader . 」

(Slave trader)「Slave traders don’t seem to be seen in a good light in Weed . 」

(Yuki)「I won’t deny that . However, what would they say if a slave trader exists to save people from outside? I have known that . 」

(Slave trader)「Yuki joint chief . 」

(Yuki)「This thing is something we already talked about amongst the representatives . That’s why Weed will support you with all its best . 」

(Slave trader)「Uugh, I am very sorry . It’s the first time I’m being told something like this . 」

He sincerely told me why he became a slave trader while shedding tears .
Originally, he was a merchant that dealt with ordinary miscellaneous goods, but he was begged to buy villagers to save them from poverty while selling to villages .
After some distress, he finally bought a villager but it was a problem .
He was then recognized as a slave trader by doing that .
Therefore, the poorer village all got him to take villagers .
Because he did it once, he couldn’t refuse .
However, the number of people he bought kept increasing .
His money was reduced .
He had to start working earnestly as a slave trader before he reached bankruptcy .
However, it doesn’t change the fact that from the viewpoint of the public, it’s painful to be doubted and accused .
When he arrived at the villages who pushed their own villagers, they blamed him for selling them .
It is a foolish story .
In the villages to sell or not to sell, he was pondering whether he would return them instead of selling .
This isn’t something he wanted to be responsible for .
After all, the ability of a slave trader with this has been admitted .

Well, I don’t know if I can believe his story but at this time there is no reason to repel him .

(Slave trader)「Please hear my story . There’s a lot of people frightened from terrible treatment . Many of the people who I sold became corpses or ended in misfortunes . This is something I want to reduce even if a little . 」

And the reaction of the three people who are on the other side of the Magic Mirror is 「Permitted」, they judged it isn’t a problem .

(Yuki)「Yes, thank you for your support from now on . 」

(Slave trader)「Thank you very much!! Oh, I forgot about this . There’s some kids I have personally taken care myself, but I would like you to employ them here . 」

That said, he rushed out of the room and came back a couple minutes later with 4 women .

(Slave trader)「You have my gratitude for this time . Please do not hesitate to use them . 」

(Yuki)「Haa, thank you very much . 」

Suddenly he brought slaves here .
They usually would need training .
Though I was thinking that, I used appraisal on every of them .
Concerning what I can recommend, they are all capable children . They all have the arithmetic skill and some have the speech skill .
In this case, I think it may be better to ask for Lutz and Ellis to directly instruct them rather than send them to school .

And that’s why at this moment that my judgment is blown .

Her appearance is that of a beautiful woman . She looks younger than Lutz but older than the outward appearance of Delille .
She could probably enter a high school?
I have never seen this until now . No, Labiris is wearing them but they are more adult-like sized gray twin-tail?
Well erhh, with her red pupils she tightly returns my gaze .

This child’s name is Leia .
