Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Chapter 28 Shortcut

A few days have passed since I was imprisoned for protesting with the merchants.

I’m still being held. A few other traders were also caught, but were released immediately.

I’m still in prison. What the f*ck is this

Even when I asked the soldiers, they were often ignored, and it became increasingly difficult as only minimal meals and water were provided.

What happened to the slaves?

It’s time to come back soon….

I’m also worried about the store.

In the midst of that, I confronted the lord’s son, the culprit who helped put me down.

“Hey, tool dealer.”

As I was lowering my face, a young man with a group of men called to me from in front of the bars.

As I looked up, I met eyes with a young man who seemed to be of quite a high rank.

“I heard that you gathered the merchants who protested. Just be thankful that you didn’t execute him right away.”

“Yes? Leaflet….”

“Don’t talk back!”

I tried to make an excuse, but it failed.

Too much anger…. I can’t.

“I came up with the idea of making a statue of the sun for my father’s illness and for everyone’s well-being, but the taxpayers are the only ones who regret their money. No way.”

“Well, Kane-sama’s sublime thoughts must be difficult for ordinary people to understand.”

The one who soothed it was an elderly male priest.

The rosary of the Sun God religion was worn around the neck and gave off a very gentle atmosphere. However, the more the opponent is like this, the darker it is.

“Right. I don’t get it at all. My father has also grown old and will not listen to me.”

Kane… The lord’s son quickly regained his stability when the priest appeased him.

You’re quite honest.

The other men look like knights by the way they dress.

But it’s not like a knight serving the lord.

The lord’s crest was nowhere to be seen on the armor.

What is engraved on the chest armor is the symbol of the sun god.

Is it a temple knight?

In other words, Kane, the son of the lord, was surrounded only by people of the Sun God.

Is this what the lord’s house was occupied with?

“Sheesh, tool dealer, you seem to be doing pretty well these days. The crime of trying to siphon off donations by inciting merchants is serious. That’s right, your wealth….”

While talking, a messenger approached Kane and whispered in his ear.

As if it was something unexpected, Kane glared at me.

“You… Cardinal eminence and how…. I can’t meet easily either….”

What do you mean?

What to do with my property?

Kane nervously kicked the bars.

“Be happy. I will set you free. His Eminence the Cardinal has shown you mercy.”

The prison door opened, and I was dragged out without knowing why.

It seems that the cardinal of the Sun God Church ordered me to go out.

I have no connections with the Sun God Church.

Cardinals are quite high in the Sun God Church. Of course, I have never interacted with any of them.

The soldiers violently dragged me out of the puzzle.

Not only Kane but also the old priest looked at me.

As if watching prey while rubbing his beard.

“Go away.”

I was released from restraint and kicked out of the manor house.

The soldiers kicked me out and quickly closed the door.

It feels like being thrown out.

I stood there blankly for a while, unable to comprehend the situation.

I’m too tired. I don’t know what is.

Why was I released… ?

“Fortunately, everything went as planned.”

It was Alexia who spoke to me.

“What a terrible sight.”

“You’re back.”

“Yes, the other two are all right. My beard has grown too.”

Alexia brought her face closer to examine my complexion.

The straight face came closer.

“Your complexion is not very good either. Let’s go back at once.”

“What the hell is going on? What have you done?”

“I will reveal the truth later. If you stay here all the time, you might get suspicious.”

We moved according to Alexia’s words.

Noticing that I was exhausted, I lent her a shoulder.

… It seems a bit different.

I felt something like her confidence and vitality in Alexia.

Her hair also smelled good.

I somehow got home.

The store seemed to be running without problems.

Very nice staff.

We’re out of stock, so we’ll have to restock.

Az and Elza were also in the room.

Az was about to hug me, but stopped when he smelled her.

Because I couldn’t change my clothes.

That’s why I’m covering her nose.

Unexpectedly shocking.

“I warmed up the bath water, so why don’t you wash up?”

It wasn’t polite at all, but you can feel the consideration of Alexia, her slave.

She took a bath, shaved her beard, and groomed herself with gratitude.

When she returned to her room, Alexia and Elza, who had changed her clothes, were waiting for her.

Belatedly, Azu came in with warm porridge.

“Hey, hey, eat.”

“Did you make it?”

“Yes. I worked hard on it.”

I stroked Arzu’s head.

Her porridge was a bit hot.

The sausage served with it is delicious.

The porridge was slightly salty. I couldn’t eat properly, so I ate it in a hurry.

After dinner, Elsa prepared lemon water.

I think I’ll buy some now.

These lemons are from the garden. The sour taste is very good.

“I know that you have safely completed the request. But what happened?”

At me who said that, Alexia waved her index finger left and right.

What is it, being treated like a child?

“Let me explain. Slave to master.”
