Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Chapter 47 Let’s take a bath in the lake

The four people’s journey to Spartia went smoothly.

Over several days, I passed through the gateway and moved from the Kingdom to the Empire.

The gateway itself can be passed without any problems. Because the toll of slaves is cheap.

However, since the toll is on a wagon, you must pay the toll for one wagon.

Near the gateway, there is a territory ruled by Alexia’s family, but it has now been occupied by another family.

I asked Alexia if she would stop by, but she shook her head.

I think it’s okay to go… No, if you think about what happens when a noble is no longer a noble, it’s better not to go.

We went on the road as planned.

The money paid for the toll is too wasteful, but it is impossible not to pass through the gate while traveling by carriage.

Since I had to find the main shrine, I also loaded trade items worth selling there.

Spices, dyes, silk…. As many things as possible that are difficult to obtain in Spartia.

Conversely, when I go to Spartia, I plan to buy jewelry.

He fights monsters and acquires a large number of items including magic stones, and it is said that there are pure gems among them.

In Spartia, the value of a jewel was a stone that was slightly prettier than an ordinary stone.

There was even a limit on the amount of purchases due to the fluctuations in the price of gems for a while due to merchants aiming for this point.

Still, there are traders who come and go between Spartia and other countries throughout the year because they can earn enough money.

In Spartia, where fighting monsters takes up a large portion of resources, their existence was an important source of funds and trading partners.

Spartia has one more major industry.

It is the mercenary business.

The number of monsters coming out of the demon cave is flexible. During relatively quiet times, a small number of generals and soldiers would go on expeditions to other countries as mercenaries.

There is also an anecdote that when a Spartan horde appears in battle, no matter how superior it is, surrender.

This was also a means for Spartia to earn foreign currency.

Anyway, I have to fight the monsters, but the climate is warm, but the land lacks nutrients, perhaps because of the monsters. Because of the low crop yield, there were few livestock.

Although monsters are used as part of food, the entire country cannot survive on only them.

So instead of being a shield between neighboring countries and monsters through diplomacy, they formed an alliance that provided food support.

It is a resource country, trading country, and the strongest country on the continent.

The Empire, one of the leading powers on the continent, withdrew its hands if it seemed that there would be friction with Spartia. Kingdoms with fertile land were only involved in selling food cheaply.

It was a country with a very special position.

The reason why Alexia made a strange expression at the name of Spartia was probably because she was well aware that the Empire was in no position to move against Spartia.

As a former imperial aristocrat, his pride must have been cracked.

Passed half of the scheduled route.

In terms of time, it is moving forward. The horse looks good, and thanks to Alexia getting used to the role of coachman, the three of them can drive it, and it’s quite fast.

It is difficult for Az because he is not familiar with words and because he is a child, words look down on him.

It’s possible to just ride, but that’s just a horse for a ride.

But no matter how well things go, you still have to water and grass the horses on the road.

If you don’t feed the grass on the roadside, the horse will not have enough food.

The cost-effectiveness of transporting food is too poor.

The carriage was full with just enough hay to feed the two horses.

If you go a little further, there is a large lake that cannot be called a road.

There is no village nearby, so the water is probably not polluted.

Both the upper and lower streams are flowing well, and there is no stagnant water.

I stopped a wagon there and did laundry and hydration.

I’m going to wash almost all of my clothes here and dry them in the wagon….

“Az, come here for a second.”

“What are you doing?”

I glanced through Arzu’s hair as she approached.

She looks a little duller than usual.

Her face is also slightly shiny.

She boiled water every day to wipe her body, but that seemed to have its limits.

“Take a bath.”

“Hey, here?”

Az looked around her. There are only these four people here.

She looked shy, but she had never bathed like this before.

Is there such a thing as puberty?

It’s ahead of schedule, but I don’t have that much time.

She took off her confused Azu’s clothes and threw her in her underwear into the lake.

“Huh.”

After entering the lake, Azu stuck only her face out of the water.

She looks pretty deep.

I also made Elsa and Alexia, who had come to see what was going on, enter the lake.

Elsa did, but Alexia in particular was reluctant every time. She said, but she can’t not wash. It was rather Alexia who was sensitive to smells.

Of course, it’s embarrassing, so I have to go in too.

It’s broad daylight and there’s no one there, but after all, isn’t it too embarrassing to be naked?

I stayed at the lake for a while.

Her wet underwear showed through. As expected, the smooth appearance of the three women is harmful to the eyes.

While washing the body, the clothes they were wearing were also washed, so a comical picture came out of everyone waiting in underwear.

Alexia, who was worse off, dried her laundry with hot air magic.

“Are you doing this out of embarrassment?”

“Maybe something like that.”

“Ha…. Even though I look like an old man, sometimes I feel like a child. He is an unpredictable person.”

That was very rude.
