chapter 27
Chapter 27 The young merchant doesn’t know much about politics
“The master is in prison… ?”
It was about 20 days after the escort request that Arzu and the others headed home.
The merchant hired several escort parties and took a risky but quick route.
There was no problem with Azune’s party, but the other party fell short of the standard, so in effect, only Azune’s party was escorted.
Let’s know that there are only women in Azune’s party,
The other men’s party took the blame even though they were weaker, and Alexia was furious.
Even Az, who doesn’t get angry easily, couldn’t hide his displeasure. Elsa looked the same as usual, but she was so angry that she burst into laughter.
In the first place, the difference in skills was so great that the opponent backed off with just a threat.
The merchant was also dumbfounded and only grabbed her by the ankle, so she sent her back on the way.
Despite the dangerous road, fortunately no powerful monsters appeared. It was not difficult to overcome an accidental battle and arrived at the destination.
In an open area, she can fully utilize Arzu’s speed.
When Blessing-Enhanced Azu rushes at speed like an arrow to attract the attention of her opponent, Blessing-Enhanced Alexia attacks with her magic. As long as she did, she could win.
The merchant’s luggage was also intact, so he was able to receive the full amount and bonus as well as the share of other parties.
It is a considerable amount. There is a limitation of the period, but with this level of compensation, you can build a fortune simply by processing it regularly.
Of course, no matter how much Azu and the others earn, the greedy and well-prepared owner will take it all.
The way back was not smooth either. The male adventurers who were kicked out were waiting with the thieves. The unpleasant gaze is a bonus.
Azu was the first to react to this.
She knew very well that she was a slave, and she was relieved by that fact.
What will the owner think if there is a scratch?
She may think she doesn’t need it.
Now that I’ve finally started to gain trust, I’ve touched Arzu’s wrath.
Az disappeared before Elsa could write her blessing.
When one of the thieves fell off his head, he saw the sword Azu wielded.
It was Arzu’s first murder, but in this situation it was a minor thing.
Azu’s blue eyes stare at the enemy.
There was a ruthless intent to kill her in her eyes.
The adventurers panicked and ran away in a hurry.
The thieves have already been burned by Alexia.
Azu chased after her and tried to kill her, but she regained her senses as Elsa stopped her.
In her eyes, Elza, Az was too innocent.
I can’t help it considering the environment I grew up in…. As she chanted her miracle of stabilizing her sanity, Az dropped her sword to the ground and clung to Elza.
Alexia watched her.
Alexia thought she couldn’t keep up with Az.
Azu’s power is no longer ordinary. She is, of course, compared to Alexia, she is still weak, but it’s hard to believe that she was just an ordinary girl not too long ago.
Although she is prepared in many ways thanks to her overprotective owner, this growth rate is truly amazing.
She deserves to be proud. She can be confident.
But Azu believes too much in her trivial tools.
They say the environment makes a person…. Abandoned by her parents, is she dependent on her master to replace them?
Alexia thought so, but she was stunned when she realized that her situation was similar.
The Empire has no home to return to.
If she can be immersed in her dream as much as Az, she will be happier that way.
Thinking about that, we all arrived home together.
And after hearing from the store clerk that the owner has been imprisoned, he sighs like he has never let out in his life.
I was worried after hearing the detailed stories of the adventurer’s guild and the shop staff.
The master is always a young merchant.
An old trader knows politics well, but a young trader doesn’t know about it.
He thought he was an excellent person, but he never thought he would protest against the lord’s son in a conspicuous way.
I made a note in my mind, saying, ‘I need to educate myself.’
Fortunately, for the time being, the store seems to be running just fine with the staff.
Though that is unsettling as it is.
She fainted because Az was half-turned.
Elza is calm.
… As for Arzu, her personality was a bit distorted.
However, in Alexia’s eyes, Elsa… No, Master and Azu probably felt the same way.
I don’t know what this priest is thinking.
A priest of the Kingdom of Creation who should have disappeared from the continent. Even the aloofness is felt in its spirituality.
“What should I do?”
“… I have to go. We are his slaves.”
“Whoops, that’s right. Can I leave it to you?”
“I know. It’s my domain from here on out.”
“Even if they rot, they are nobles.”
“It’s noisy. The country won’t even pay the ransom anyway.”
I know all the information. Her status is a slave, but she has funds in her hands.
This is a political issue, but fortunately, the opponent is a child who is only a substitute for the lord.
Then, there is a way.
Monsters live in the social world of the imperial nobility. The monsters must have had a much more proper mindset.
Compared to that, I’m not afraid of opponents’ weaknesses or opponents.
“Why did such a proud person become a slave?”
“… When I came to my senses, I was not on my side.”
“I see. I will keep you in my prayers.”
Alexia growled at Elsa.
