He Is a Master Who Can’t Handle a Slave Properly

2 – Ellie Michelle (1)

Ellie Michelle, a rabbit beast known to most adventurers and wealthy people in the city with her white hair and eyebrows, and her outstanding yet neat appearance.

The recent incident was quite large, so it was inevitable that rumors of knowledge spread.

Because of this, in the city where Charles Locke was located and where she was located, there was a lot of curiosity and worry about who would buy her.

Most of the exchange staff expected a bad ending, but the story changed when the person involved in the incident showed up with a somewhat recovered body and showed up at the city’s authorized slave dealer.

Charles, who was at the site of numerous slave trades, met various slaves and met various buyers.

And most of them met not-so-good endings.

The wealthy man with sadistic tendencies bought slaves several times a month, and it was impossible to know where many of them had disappeared.

An adventurer harassed a slave so much that he ended up getting hacked by his slave’s knife.

It was not difficult for him to predict how great the enmity of the slave would be, knowing how great the cost of disobedience was.

That’s enough to take an extreme example, but it was not easy to guess how many slaves were being harassed outside their eyes.

Of course, not all slaves were pitiful.

Most of them were outlaws, except for a few, especially the case of Ellie Michel in Deal of the Day. A series of pickpockets or thefts, thieves, etc…

He went about his work with the feeling that he would make sinners pay the price,

In the case of some poor slaves, there were trades that could not be served without drinking.

A city-approved slave store would do that, but how much dirtier would a slave store in the shadows be?

However, Charles thought today’s deal was going to be something different.

Of course, ‘because he has no memory’, it could be that his attitude shows that way, but at least he guessed that because he was a good man by nature, he deeply sympathized with her situation and showed anger.

Therefore, if today’s transaction is completed safely, if the man in front of him has enough money, he will be able to finish the day with confidence.

***

Sigh, and the door opened.

“you are…!”

Her wide-open eyes shook for a moment, then her head fell helplessly.

“Marcus Ahn, before we begin, let me inform you of the nature of this transaction. I have confirmed that I was a victim of the recent case of ‘Novice Adventurer Murderer’, and I have confirmed that I was a victim of ‘Ellie Michelle’, who was involved in the case, due to bankruptcy. Demote…”

“Sigh…”

Ellie Michel appeared to be crying. Her head bowed even deeper, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt and crumpling her clothes. The thread veins that appeared showed that her emotions were intensifying without filtering.

I had to do my job.

“Elie Michel, upright.”

“Yes… Yes.”

Before I could say anything, she heard that and hurriedly put her hands back together and stood upright. After that, isn’t it to bend your back toward me again?

“Excuse me, I did.”

Seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but keep my mouth shut. Slavery didn’t really sit well with me. It wasn’t that pleasant to see in front of my eyes the treatment of slaves that I had only seen in books.

“I’m sorry. Of course, I knew that you were a very humble person because I had been told in advance, but I hope you understand that I had to show you this way out of necessity.”

Perhaps aware of my discomfort, Charles politely handed me an apology. With a slight bow of the head. I took a deep breath through my nose and slowly removed my lips, which had been heavy all along.

“I want to ask her price.”

I just wanted to get her out of that uncomfortable spot as quickly as possible. That seemed like the best thing. Charles looked at my notes, nodded, and handed the pen to me.

“First of all, her explanation. Ellie Michelle is 24 years old this year. As a female rabbit beast, she is generally characterized by a nimble body and keen hearing. Also, her strength has been measured to be above the average rabbit beast – oh, so much. I mean, maybe…

Hmmm, Ellie Michel. Listen to that pendulum over there.”

“…Yes, I will.”

She cautiously moved her feet and held up the pendulum at the back of the room with one hand. I had no idea how much weight it weighed as it was lightly lifted without a sound. Charles must have been aware of this, and he gave the following order to Ellie Michel.

“Now, hand it to Marcus-sama.”

“All right.”

She lifted the pendulum in front of me, carefully set it down in front of me, and took three steps back with her head bowed.

“Would you like to listen?”

When I lifted it with one hand… it was quite heavy. If I asked if I could lift it as lightly as she did, I didn’t think I would be able to do that.

“That’s how strong she is. Also, Ellie Michelle is good at housework, labor, and self-defense… As you know, as you know, she serves as an inn guide, can read and write, and is quick at counting.”

Tak, he said and put down the pendulum. Seeing this, he smiled slightly and continued talking.

“Honestness has already been proven, but I ask for your understanding that due to a recent incident, this point is a little detracted from the evaluation. Also, to add one more characteristic to her unique beautiful appearance, she doesn’t know the male body…” If you do, will you understand?”

“…I beg your pardon?”

“So, that… I don’t have experience. In terms of castles. I’m an outsider. That’s why it’s going to cost a little more.”

Standing next to me, she bowed her head once more. Tendons stood out in her hands, but then she grabbed them and raised her head again. Damn, are you even counting things like this as a commodity?

“Is that so.”

Although her face was trying to keep her composure, the fact that her face was quite red and her hands were clasped and trembling slightly made it clear that she felt embarrassed.

However, the man in front of me calmly finished explaining her value as if nothing had happened.

“That’s all for me to explain. Her ‘personal’ characteristics would be rude for me to explain, so I’m going to end this. That’s the price. The money she has to pay back and the characteristics of the ideal… 120 I’ll be a million dicats.

Are you willing to pay this amount, Marcus Ahn?”

She was, to be sure, outrageously expensive.

Here, the dicat is the unit of currency and is counted in gold, silver and copper coins. A gold coin would be 10,000 dicats, a silver coin would be 100 dicats, and a copper coin would be 1 dicat.

And roughly speaking of her value, with that money, I could get a nice house in the center of the city, furnish it with the right furniture, and with the money left over, I could live without any shortage of money.

…But it was to be expected. Her appearance was extremely attractive even to me, and being able to do professional work in many ways was a definite advantage. and stronger than me. That, too, will help me explore the labyrinth, which is what I’m trying to do.

Just what does she want? Is she satisfied with this series of processes? That was the part that bothered me quite a bit. Of course, if she becomes my slave, I will benefit greatly.

If I disregard her wishes… I will derive from her pleasures, delights, and fortunes in great measure.

But that wasn’t what I wanted. I… I know it sounds really stupid to say this, but I wanted to treat her at least as a person. Perhaps the expression “partner” would be a little more appropriate.

She happened to be embroiled in my case and wanted to show her regret for it. Of course, the first step, ironically, would be to make her my slave.

The sum of the remaining money after spending the bounty and the legacy Paul left behind was just 1.3 million dicats… It was close. If the price went up even a little more, it would definitely be a big deal.

Curiously enough, I can read but I can’t write, so I barely knew how to write my name, so I handed him the bill with only my signature and the amount blank.

“Ah… I understand. Let me write you 1.2 million dicats clearly.”

Contrary to my penmanship, he wrote the numbers nicely with his elegant hands and held up a bill in front of me.

“Yes. 1.2 million dicats, I have confirmed that it is a city bank draft, and I have even confirmed the signature. With this, Ellie Michelle officially declares that ownership is transferred to Marcus Anh. Marcus Ann, would you please give me your ID again? Her and I would like to register an owner relationship on your identification card.”

“…Here it is.”

“Okay, where…”

After accepting my ID, Charles quickly took hers out of his pocket and took turns inserting it into the device. The device displayed a glowing pattern whenever an ID card was inserted, and he took them out and examined the ID closely, nodded once, and handed both of them to me.

“The engraving has been successful. Please take good care of her ID.”

“…without giving it back to her?”

“Of course you can, but usually the owner takes care of it.

I looked at her in silence, then stood up and handed her my ID.

“…it’s yours. Take it.”

“I-I…”

She put her hands on her chest and looked at me in trouble, but I had no intention of biting. At least this ID belonged to her. After hesitating for a while, she finally took her ID with both hands and bowed her head deeply to me.

“…thank you.”

I put mine in my arms and sat down again. It was because he could see Charles diligently preparing something. He handed over the papers in front of me and gave a brief explanation of the various provisions.

Most of them, as he had already explained, detailed the social status of slaves and the laws. And lastly… it was a clause about martyrdom.

martyrdom (death). This was also one of the reasons why slaves were virtually subordinated to their masters and made to be absolutely loyal. If the master dies, naturally the slave also dies. It is said that this is one of the reasons why slaves want to thoroughly protect their master’s life even if they sometimes hurt themselves.

“Of course… you can change this, but I recommend not doing it for the safety of the slave owner.”

“It’s okay if you’re talking about her-“

“I’m not talking about her, Marcus.”

After swallowing once, he continued talking quietly.

“There are a lot of crazy people in the world, a lot of unconscionable people. There are lunatics who kill people for trashy reasons, raping people and doing all sorts of indescribable things. When you die and she’s released, who will protect her? do you think?”

He sighed and pointed his finger at Ellie Michel.

“Her looks are above par. What she can do, her body, etc. – she’s worth more than 1.2 million dicats, honestly. If this was a bootleg, I might have paid more than double this price. There may be madmen who will try to take her from you by force.”

Taking a deep breath, he continued to speak.

“Of course, the law and the contract will protect you and her as much as possible. So leave this clause as it is. You can add a few more clauses if you wish. For example, the ‘owner’ will force the ‘slave’ to do something he does not want to do. No. How is it?”

There was nothing in his words that I could refute. Certainly, this provision was also a provision to protect her from the outside world. Above all, her characteristics were something that anyone would covet.

“…great.”

I added the clause like that and wrote the sentence by rolling the pen brilliantly, and although I didn’t know how to write it, I knew how to read it.

She read it blankly, then quietly bowed her head to let her know that she agreed. After confirming her reaction, Charles brought an object with a small needle in it, carefully wiped it off with a damp cotton pad, and placed it in front of me.

“Marcus-sama, Ellie Michel, please take a picture of the jijang on both sides.”

She and I put out our thumbs, tapped the needles, and jabbed our fingers, and pressed them directly onto the document. Then Charles took out a cylinder from under the table, put the rolled-up documents in it, touched it and muttered something.

okay.

The cylinder glowed softly with the sound of something being immersed strongly, but soon faded.

“This concludes the sales contract. This marks the completion of the master-servant relationship between Marcus Ahn and Ellie Michelle.”

She is now firmly enslaved. A slave that I have to take responsibility for and protect.
