Chapter 66 Liberating the Slaves and . . .

 

Everyone went straight to bed when we got back to the mansion .
Mitama and the girls were slightly taken aback when they saw Sefi-san's passionate welcome hug to me, but I didn't see nothin'! Not, I couldn't do that . The highest degree of dogeza was unveiled that day .



And the next day, guided by Futsuno-san and Mitama, we visited the aforementioned slave trader .
We would bring attention to ourselves if we were all walking there, so I took everyone there with Hakumai-Gou (High Speed Nobusada Cart) . I drew attentions too like so, but I just regarded that I'd lose if I minded it .
Futsuno-san discussed something with the black clothed men at the entrance, afterward we three were let in . The enslaved people were taken to a different room to wait there .

We're apparently brought into the room of this company's owner, and the lone woman inside is hers truly . Her name is Kirishna . She looks like a more adult version of Futsuno-san, with a mature attractive lady scent on her . She's got three fox tails on the loose . When I was rudely wondering if they increased with age, Mitama elbowed me for some reason . Apparently, I was looking moonstruck there . Even though that's not the case at all, I don't get it .

"Ane-yan, sorry to bother you when you're busy . We've got no one else to rely on due to a certain circumstance . "

"Fufufu, I don't mind . By the way, who would that cute boy over there be?"

Humm, wonder why her eyes don't seem to be laughing . If I had to say, feels like she's evaluating me? She's not doing it openly, but I just feel like that's what she did .

"He's my husband, and Mitama's too soon . " <TLN: 'Husband' here can also be interpreted as master . >

Bufuoo . That's indeed the case, but aren't you being too fast here Futsuno-san!? Look, even Mitama's eyes are wide open . I haven't said anything to Mitama yet .

"Ufufufu, is that right . Then, he will stay here for a bit later . So, what's the occasion?"

Huuh, when was it decided I'm gonna stay again .

"Err, allow me . Nice to meet you, I'm Nobusada an adventurer . To tell you the truth, Futsuno-san and Mitama got dragged into a trouble recently . At that time, the ownership of enslaved people who were captured by the bandit gang got transferred to me after the gang was destroyed . Since they were forced into slavery through villainous schemes, I would love to liberate them if possible . When I asked Futsuno-san if she knew someone trustworthy, she brought me here . "

After I told her all that, her expressions became quite softer compared to before .

"I have to thank you for saving these two . Thank you so much . "

She deeply lowered her head . But then she continues her words while staring at me .

"However, you're really quite a kind one . Even though you would've got yourself a handsome sum if you just sold those slaves . "

It's not like I don't get that . However, I'm also on the side who was abducted without consent . Even if I'm enjoying the life in another world so far, getting taken away against your will is not a nice feeling to have .

Ah, by the way, I'm not thinking of trying to liberate all slaves by force either . I only know about this country regarding this topic, but there's not a lot of prisons here . Instead, those who have committed crimes would be forced into slavery . Besides, situations where parents sold themselves to protect their children when circumstances force them to has happened in the olden days of Japan too . It's not nice emotionally speaking, it's also true that there are lives saved by it .
But, I would extend my help as much as possible if someone close to me is in a similar predicament . I won't become an altruist, but I will do what I can .



"It's not like I'm having trouble monetary-wise . This is simply a choice I've made . A fortune made by selling everyone would have a bad aftertaste . Oh excuse me, it's absolutely not my intention to look down on slave traders . I simply give priority to what I personally feel . "

Hearing me, Kirishna-san giggled and smiled . Even I know I'm just trying to act cool . I mean, I've got quite a fortune from the stuff I seized from the idiotic brat .

"Fufu, well all right then . I can take care of liberating the slaves . Why don't we get to it now . "

Ah, Kirishna-san herself will personally do the work huh .

We went to the room where the slaves were waiting and were done with it in a jiff . She just put her hand on the grayed out slave crests and chanted a spell, then the crest disappeared with a glass-breaking sound . Apparently, the crest would have regained its color if I, as their temporary master, made a proper contract . Liberating them was this simple because it was just a temp contract, said Kirishna-san .

I bade farewell to everyone who was going back to their hometown, and gave them money I had split yesterday . Everyone thanked me in tears, 『To even give us money on top of saving us』 . There's no need to thank me that much okay? I only did it to slightly lessen my guilty consciences .

Lastly Kurei-san, apparently she's going to continue as an adventurer . Her equipment right now is good enough, and the money I gave her should suffice to live off for a while . She would learn from this failure to steadily complete quests, she said . She promised to lend us a hand if we ever need her, so I'll remember to do so when we're in trouble .

After all the procedures were done, Kirishna-san asked only me to stay here . Mitama and Futsuno-san complied to her, and went back ahead of me . Now then, wonder what is this about?

"Now then, it's finally just us two . There's something I need to ask you . What do you plan to do with those kids?"

"Eh?"


<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . >
Unlike just before, she's letting out quite a dangerous air . Is this her true self?

"It seems like the two are quite smitten with you . Even though beastfolks should be an existence of contempt to general humans . Just what are you scheming?"

"Scheming nothing . My wish would be for everyone to live happily together as a family I guess?"

"Why did it change to question after saying that . Phew, now I feel like an idiot worrying about it seriously . "

Looks like she thought I, a general human, was tricking the two? Of course it's not true . Or rather, I'm still 『General Human?』 even now, wonder how it'll turn out .

"Please give your daughters to me, mother-in-law-san! I will bring them happiness for sure!! Should I have said that instead?"

"Ah geez, talking to you really tires me out . There's nothing more I can do since those kids have made their choice . Listen okay? If you make those kids cry, I'll chase you to the end of the world, and to those things hanging on your groins . . . "

She turned and glared at me, and then .

"I'll wrench them!" zui!

"Break them!!" zuizui!

"And tear them off!!!" DOOOOOON!!

You're close, your face's too close! And you're scaring me .
Ooh, my groins shriveled before I knew it . Kirishna-san is essentially an S huh . I shall engrave it on my mind .

"And also, I don't know if those kids have talked to you about this, but just so you know . Those two are of noble lineage among beastfolks . Keep it in mind that some people might come after them with that goal in mind . "

"Thank you for your warning . I will give it my all to protect the two . "

"Then it's fine . You can come visit here anytime you need to consult me something . Ah, make sure to bring along the two, or at least either of them here . They're my cute nieces after all . "

Aah yeah, you just want to spoil your niece don't you . I've had a niece separated by death myself, so I know the feelings . Feels like I can get along well with Kirishna-san .

"Yes, I'll drop by here regularly regardless . I quite understand how you want to spoil the two myself . "

"Fufufu, looks like us two will get along just fine . "

I exchanged a stiff handshake with Kirishna-san .
And thus, I was able to pay my respects to my mother-in-law(?) . I'll have her show me the two in various dresses later .
