Chapter 118 – Grasping the situation

Side: Yuki

(Yuki)「Gehoh, gehoh, tea entered my trachea . 」

What is it?
Is there a hero sold as slave in recent fantasy?
Is this a success story from slave to hero?

(Slave trader)「Are you okay!? Yuki joint chief!?」

(Yuki)「Ah, I’m fine . I just failed to drink . 」

Just like that, the door is opened with great force .

(Delille)「Bastard!! What hast thou done to Yuki!!」

(Millie)「Yuki-san, are you okay?!」

(Kaya)「…… Poison!? Hold on!!」

Delille, Ellis and Kaya rushed inside to defend me . They surround the slave trader .

(Yuki)「It’s a misunderstanding . I just failed to drink my tea . I’m sorry . My wives are causing troubles . 」

「But!!」

(Yuki)「It’s okay since Asu-san didn’t do anything . 」

「…… Yes . 」

The three withdraw when I answer them .
I think it is okay for them to sit down with us .

(Yuki)「Let me repeat myself, I am sorry . My wives reacted a little too much .  1)」

(Asu)「N-no . I think it’s natural . There’s no damage so there’s no harm . 」

After that, we talked lightly and promised to meet again tomorrow with detailed explanations and separated with Asu-san .

「Ano, goshujin-sama2) . What should we do?」

The four people are left alone with me in the room, feeling lost .
Oh yes, here’s the problem .

(Yuki)「First of all . Everybody, sit on the sofa here . 」

「N-no!? That’s something terrible!?」

Everyone including the hero in her eggshell shake their heads sideways .

(Millie))「It’s okay . While it may be true that you are slaves, we won’t oppress you . We will treat every single one of you as a person . 」

(Kaya)「…… That’s why don’t worry . 」

(Ellis)「There’s is no whip to wield against slaves here . We only scold a little . 」

Whether they were relieved from the words of the women, they finally sit on the sofa .
Now, shall I prepare a little mischief?

(Yuki)「Well, the number of people have increased so I will prepare for tea . Here Ellis . These children seem to have the arithmetic skill according to the story . I think that a direct training will bear immediate result compared to sending them at the training center . Let’s hear their stories for the time being . 」

(Ellis)「I see . If you already can do arithmetic, you may as well skip the training center . 」

While doing such interaction .
Since I already appraised their Skills, I sent them a signal .
As for when I talked about earlier, I decided to change the suffix at the end of the sentence from 「In that case」to「Seems」3)  . Since I would lie if I said that I understood this appraisal .
After that, since it might become a problem for each side, I must talk with Ellis and make a judgment .
Well, I don’t have to decide hastily today, or rather I’d like for them to be accustomed to Weed for at least one week .

(Yuki)「Yes, everyone sorry we only have tea . Take it with these sweets . 」

Still, it’s akin to a superhuman feat to make something else other than coffee or tea with only a small teapot .
As for the four persons, they received tea their directly from me . They were extremely nervous but they finally started drinking after my wives took their first sip .

(Yuki)「Listen while you’re drinking tea . Since you will definitely have to hear this again, since you might be uneasy after this, please listen to this lightly for now . Look, there…… 」

My speech followed about how they will be treated, what labor they will have to do, and how they can buy themselves back after they earn enough money . How it is okay to leave the town or stay here once it is over .
Weed was explained briefly .

(Yuki)「And well, now you can understand that you don’t need to be so tense here, I think?」
(?)「Yes」

(?)「It’s amazing right?」

(?)「I will work hard!!」

(Leia)「…… Yes . 」

Leia, somehow the reaction from the hero in her eggshell made a thin answer .
About that, is she disgusted to be a slave?
I feel like she didn’t believe half of this story .
No, I feel as if she’s in despair?
Somehow, she’s giving the same vibes as Kaya did .

So, let’s change the flow a little .

(Yuki)「Ellis, can you pay me attention for a little? It’s a simple story, so you can drink your tea . 」

(Ellis)「What is it?」

And then I tell her how Leia is a hero .

(Ellis)「Buhoh!! Gehoh!!」

She blew, as expected .
The other two had the same reaction .
Delille especially tripped over .
How clever .

After that, we chatted lightly and promised to give a detailed explanation tomorrow, after that we divided .

(Yuki)「It seems that Ellis brought them to an empty room in the inn . As expected, she’s going to thrust them into training next week . 」

(Kaya)「…… But, this girl is a hero . 」

(Yuki)「Maybe, she’s stronger than your average Level 4 . 」

(Delille)「Yuki is too nasty . Mine was too surprised, I fell on my back . 」

(Yuki)「My bad, my bad, but only about Leia, we have to carefully consider what we’re going to do with her . 」

(Kaya)「…… That girl . I’m sure she is a victim from that conflict . I understand . Those eyes, they are the eyes of someone who have seen the downfall of her family . She thinks that everything in this world is iffy and untrustable . 」

(Millie)「Hero-sama… . . Is the world so harsh?」

Kaya and Delille stared at the girl . They are looking in the direction of the departing Leia .

Time passes and it’s now dinner time after some rest .

(Aslin)「Onii-chan, did you see hero-sama!!」

(Philia)「Nii-sama, is hero-sama a man?」

(Labiris)「Fumufumu, indeed . Beautiful girl similar to me . Her chest is losing to Millie and Ellis but it’s big enough . 」

(Aslin)「Labiris-chan is sly!! I want to see too!!」

(Philia)「Me too, I wanna see!! Labiris-chan show me!!」

(Labiris)「Wait you both, you’re going too far!? Hey, Kiyaaa~!?」

Labiris who is urged got flipped over .
The skirt also turns over, but she’s wearing an underwear .
Since they can take whatever garment they like using DP, they asked me for a big catalog corresponding to everyone’s hobby . What Labiris wears is mostly see-through only .

(Yuki)「Are you okay?」

(Labiris)「Well I am . Let’s play you two . 」

(Lutz)「Che . 」

That way, the three started chatting with each other .

(Lutz)「Eh, do you like that kind?」
(Yuki)「Get away from here . 」

(Lutz)「Well whatever . You only need to answer when you use it later . Even so, a hero-sama～」

(Seraria)「That is unthinkable, but one really came . 」

(Millie)「But her level is 4 isn’t it? Moreover, she hasn’t awoken . Shouldn’t we treat her normally?」

Lutz agrees to Seraria’s words . MIllie came up with a plan .

(Yuki)「Well, as Millie says, if she can live a normal live then there isn’t any problems . 」

(Seraria)「If we manage this badly and the hero awaken, she will do so in Weed as a Slave . She will be regarded as our servant . 」

(Riel)「Uwah, even I can tell it’s bad . 」

Riel after she listened to Seraria makes a frown .
Just as Seraria says, it is very bad if the hero awakens when she is a slave before the protection .
She would become a suitable fodder for the people who think Weed is an obstacle .

(Shera)「Which remind me . Yuki-san, this hero-sama, is she from the same world of Taiki hero-sama and Yuki-sama?」

Shera, who is trying to remember asked me as she have listened to the previous conversation .
By the way, she isn’t an isekai person .

(Yuki)「Certainly「Hero of love」was written . She’s not from a different world . 」

(Seraria)「I see . It’s wonderful . She is an hero-sama born from our continent . 」

(Lulu)「I’m happy too but she’s a slave . Wait a minute . Danna-sama, did you perhaps say「Hero of love」?」

Lulu strangely snapped .
How come?

(Yuki)「Oh, it certainly said she was a hero of love . 」

(Lulu)「Then, isn’t she related to Lilith?」

「「「He」」」

Then, we immediately summoned Lilith for an interrogation .
Incidentally, unlike Luna, Lilith is living as a priest inside Ritea’s church in Weed .
I’ve done my best trying to make her return to Ritea for a long time, but in the end I wasn’t successful at all .
Several times, I tried to go to the cathedral and make the high priest listen to the story, but he got erased every time4) .
Alshtail and Lulu who heard this story fainted .
Well, since the God they worship is turning away at their doorbell, it’s a problem close to blasphemy .
It seems that Alshtail and Lulu talked to him a few years ago and he was really working earnestly as a priest .

Let’s return from the digress .

The present problem is the 「Hero of Love」

(Lilith)「Oh, that child came to this place～ . She will become a hero, I anticipate it . 」

She answered with a firm smile!?

(Lulu)「Lilith-sama, could you explain?」

(Lilith)「Yes, I don’t mind . This is a story from 10 years ago… . . 」

Here is a summary .
Each God can choose one hero associated with them .
Basically, they find someone suitable that can be used, and they make a hero for their own use .
An hero is different from the correction of a Holy Woman .
However, there is weaknesses and the title of hero isn’t given so easily .
It’s one person every 100 years .
This seem to be the fastest pace .
But in general, people with the title of a hero are usually struck with war or political brunt and don’t live long .
So, Lilith, at the place she used to serve as a priest found Leia, gave her an awakening condition that would make her a hero .

But now, she’s a slave!!

(Lilith)「Haa, Leia-chan is a slave now…… It’s sad . But she’ll be safe now that she’s in Weed . I think she can safely awaken as a hero if she’s here . 」

No, it’s very annoying if she awakens!!

(Lulu)「Eetto, Lilith-sama . What is the condition that would make her awaken?」

(Lilith)「That is the symbol of love . It’s to do ecchi things!! But it can’t be forced, okay? Because if you forcibly do ecchi things her power will run wild and the whole area will explode . The safety of this neighborhood is perfect to protect Leia-chan . 」

It’s not perfect!?
I would have to make an express unfashioned evacuation warning to the residential area of Weed!?

(?)「…… Wait a moment please . Then, Leia isn’t going to awaken as a hero anytime soon . 」

(Lilith)「Yes, no one is going to rush her to do ecchi things . And her life isn’t a danger as long as her power doesn’t activate to protect her, the rest isn’t much . 」

Hum, because of Lilith there was the possibility that Leia was done while in slavery .
If one was unlucky, he would already be a corpse .

Then, the awakening of the hero isn’t something stoppable .
And, since we all now know that Weed could potentially be damaged, everyone fell silent .

(Seraria)「Dear . 」

(Yuki)「What is it?」

(Seraria)「Leia, make her fall for you . 」

(Yuki)「Haa!?」

(Seraria)「Don’t you understand? She will be revealed as a hero and the existence of Weed itself is in danger . Normally it’s best to leave this to the flow of nature, but this time we simply can’t . 」

(Yuki)「Yes yes, but my heart is humane… . . 」

(Seraria)「I know well . That’s why my Dear, if you both love each other there’s no problem . 」

Seriously?
My eyes are swimming .

(Lulu)「Danna-sama . There is no correct way to love . You showed your manliness to me . So please, protect her and love her . 」

Lulu hugs me from behind .
Well, I understand what she means .
I also understand the necessity .

The problem is different from simply losing a prey .
I’m not the main character from a Gal game5) !?
Moreover, the bad end climax is the explosion of the whole area .

What with this difficulty level!?6)
