Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Episode 5 The Bad Guy

Azu woke up the next day and ordered to dispose of the snake’s head.

Take it to the Adventurer’s Guild like the request form.

As soon as I entered the room, I took out her words, and I was frozen in shock.

For a while, as soon as I pushed the honey-coated bread into my mouth, it started moving again with a mumble.

I prepared a bag even bigger than the snake’s head and a rope to tie it.

Az stepped out without energy. May she come back safely.

Az came back when the store was sorted out and the sun was fully up.

To sum up Azu’s gibberish, her request is said to have been completed with yesterday’s work.

As the number of new monsters that ate black snake monsters decreased, the number of snake monsters increased. It is said that the meadow looked pitch black, but it seems a bit exaggerated.

It is said that they could not bring all the heads of the snakes they hunted from the meadow.

It’s a waste. If I had followed… No, the balance calculation is not right.

The reward for the request and the head of the snake used as an antidote are said to be 40 silver coins.

Her dark face looked bright as if she was happy that the work she had done had led to results. It seems to have grown a little. It was still a long way from 40 silver coins.

Let’s just accept this kind of pennies….

“Az, let’s go.”

“Yes? Bye.”

“You should come too. Why did I tell you?”

“Yes!”

I spoke in a slightly harsh tone, and Azu hurriedly stood up.

Her outfit… Well, it’ll be fine It’s not embarrassing to go out together.

The armor and the sword don’t match yet.

Leaving the work of the store to her staff, I took Az to the streets.

Head to the area lined with shops.

… It’s not a land of gold, but it’s expensive to move my store. Opening a store here would make money.

Since her father’s generation, she has had quite a few regular customers, so she continues her business just like that, but she feels the limit.

She inherits the store and is trying this and that, but… I believe in you, Az.

While thinking about that, her eyes met Az.

She didn’t know what to say. She smiled softly.

She let out a sigh and stroked Arzu’s hair roughly.

Az was taken aback, but she stayed still.

She just needs this now. Me and Azu are just starting from now.

She came to a store that sells old clothes. A lot of women’s clothes.

“Az.”

“… Yes!”

He said, pointing to the old clothes in the store.

“Find the clothes you need or want. Just as much as you can carry.”

“Mine?”

“Does it look like there are clothes for me to buy in here?”

Az alternately looked at the beautifully displayed clothes and at my face.

He smiles again.

Guy, you run away like this when the situation is unfavorable.

“You need more casual clothes or something to wear under your armor? The clothes I gave you aren’t that many.”

“Master… Can I pick any?”

“Yes. I’ll look around and come back to other stores, so pick one up in the meantime.”

“Wow! Thank you.”

Az rushed into her shop with great vigour.

There are not many expensive clothes in this store. Because it’s old clothes anyway.

I exchanged greetings with the shop owner I knew and headed to another shop.

To the slave shop where I bought Az.

As I entered, the owner greeted me with a fake smile.

Anyone can see that he looks like a rich man (actually, he earns much better than I do!).

It is a place licensed by the state, and the government also bought slaves in large quantities to use as labor force.

Permission is not easily obtained as much as one acquires enormous wealth by immediately reselling products.

Buying from a slave hunter will immediately result in your license being revoked and beheaded.

We also need to maintain a strong relationship with the country.

He is more resourceful than he looks.

“Welcome very well. Did you like the slave you bought?”

“How are you?”

“I’m glad. Are you looking for a new slave today?”

“I was thinking of finding a partner for Arzu. I am not buying a new slave today.”

“I see. What style would you like?”

“It’s okay to be a man. It’s not my taste, but I think Az will find it difficult. It goes without saying that if a male slave takes the lead, there will be problems.”

The slave trader nodded at my words.

“I would prefer a wizard or an engineer. You don’t have to be great.”

“Hmm, there are plenty of female slaves, but there are no suitable slaves right now. When the product you want arrives, I will send someone.”

“Please.”

I didn’t talk about the budget. I didn’t even ask about it first.

The ransom is up to you. There’s no reason to give out your budget in case you miss a slave you like.

He doesn’t bother to lose money because he just needs to stimulate my desire to buy.

I left the slave shop and turned to the shop where Azu was.

Azu stumbled inside holding a lot of clothes.

People around me are laughing. Even the shop owner.

Variety. Know how to make more work as much as you bought.

The 40 silver coins Azu earned quickly disappeared, making the expenditure even greater.

You have a pretty good sense of choosing clothes. Seeing that she holds the dress-like design most tightly, it seems she likes that style.

Leave all the luggage with Azu on the way home.

Ah, that’s right. The new slave must be brought in as a literate child.

If you tell me to teach Arzu, I don’t even need to tell you. Good idea.
