Chapter 6 – Slaves

Mia and Millia are parent and child. They don’t look alike at all!

I said that I took away her daughter in front of the mother.

「Millia, this person. He was saying that he wanted to take you home with him and also said that I was pretty.」

Great!? What do I say now!?

「That… That’s good…….」

Great? Am I disliked?

「Well, it is good, isn’t it? You are a girl and calling you cute isn’t a bad thing, is it?」

「That’s so. However, he seems to want to buy a slave so that he could satisfy his desires.」

A scornful look was directed my way. Stop that eye! You are hurting me with that look!

「Ah, is that so. It seems that you can’t judge your person by just looking at him.」

「All I wanted, was to get a slave as my bride, so that I could spend the rest of my life happily.」

Millia glanced at me while sigh, and started to talk with Mia.

「I don’t think that a person who talks about slaves, wouldn’t end up giving into their own desire.」

「Ah, Then, are you saying that he is also the same?」

「An…… mother always tries to bully me.」(「もう……お母さんはそうやっていつも私をイジめるんだから！」)

While listening to the conversation between the parent-child, Millia seems to get teary eyed.

「Oh, both of you have different last names. And your races seems to also different.」

Both of them, had a very surprised face. Did I say anything bad again?

「Why do you know our last names?」

「Ha!? No, I heard them! In the city!」

Mia and Millia had a very suspicious and confused look on their face.

「I’m her mother in public, but Millia is my slave. By the way, your name is?」

「Takashi. Takashi Watanabe, I came from a far away country called Tokyo.」

Fumufumu, Mia was thinking something while her hands were on the chin.

「I know most of the country but I haven’t heard of your country. But, it must be a place far away from this town.」

「No, I was only able to come to this town accidentally! I was very lucky!」

That was dangerous. Because I can’t say that I came from another world.

「You don’t need to be modest. Milia, what do you thing about his ability?」

「Huh, I don’t know very well because it was his first day, but I don’t think he is a rookie. I gathered a lot more medicinal herb than anyone else I have seen.」

Are you serious? Oh, was it too much? Should I have regulated it a little bit?….

「So you must have been interest in him. Was that why you introduced him to our Inn, and let me do you? I cannot put you in the corner!」(「だからツバを付けておこうと、ウチを紹介したってわけかい？　お前も隅に置けないねぇ」)

「Tut, that is different! It isn’t what you think!」

Am I anxious? It is said that there was an effect that holds out.  Yes, it’s good! Millia who blushed is also very pretty! (俺が気になるのか！　がんばった甲斐があったってもんだ！　うんうん、いいよ！　赤くなってるミリアもかわいいよ！)

「Takashi, Millia seems anxious about you…. Is it possible for Millia to join your party?」

「What? How can you decide it without permission? Moreover, why is it immediately answered?」

Millia’s protesting was ignored. A favor from her mother. I can’t help but accept it.

Besides, I’m not someone who would leave a girl alone who seems to be worried about me.

「Ahahahaha, you gave an immediate answer! I like you of that!」

「I don’t like people who are full of desires!」

I thought so, was that how I was seen? Even though your character is different from the time when you were in at the guild? This is great I guess.

「Wouldn’t you like to be an adventurer? Plus you’re job as an assistant of the guild was very profitable, either, and you should live your life like you want to.」

「But… I promise father … that I would be at the Guild…」

It has become very sentimental and sad. This might be a good time for me to show my good side.

「I will make you happy.」

「Haa?」

Did I make a mistake? Milia was wide-eyed, and was clasping her hands.

Mia was looking at me and smiling.

「Ahahahaha, because if wasn’t married, then I might have accepted your proposal. However…」

In an instant, Mia was able to change the atmosphere. Dangerous Only by intimidating likely killed. (やばい威圧だけで殺されそうだ。)

「I can’t let you get away with that until I give you permission to marry Millia.」

「I will take proper step so that I could get your approval….」

It was decided that Millia was going to join my party.

Millia’s seems to not be convinced at all, but Mia seems to have convinced her.

「You are too young to be stuck helping at the guild, you should be living your life like you want. Didn’t you want to become an adventurer?」

「Yeah it is, but I promised father…」

「He is no longer here. So the promise is already invalid. You can’t be forever tied to these kind of things.」

「But…」

And that person would be Mia’s husband. Because absent is, does that mean he is died.

「Ah! Anyways! Should I transfer the slave ownership for Millia to Takashi?」

「That isn’t good! No! Please resign from that!」

What!? Why is am I disliked so much? Did I do anything wrong?

「Then, why don’t you try to become an adventure person? Then I would think about it.」

「Okay…」

Oh? I think with this the matter is settled.

「Then, please take care of this child from now on, Takashi.」

「Yes, leave it to me. Mother-in-law!」

「…I already hate it.」

Millia has decided to join my party, and everything that needs to be done today has been done. So I returned to my room and decided to sleep, wishing that everything that happened today wasn’t a dream.
