Chapter 13: Great trader Golet-sama’s subordinate. First part

After several days after the thorough defeat of Miyamoto, somebody knocked on the orphanage door.

“Excuse me, is there a person called Masatsugu here? I am Rile a subordinate of the great merchant Golet-sama.”

Like so, I heard it in a self-important voice.

*Shock!* I understood why Lucia who was with me was shaking her shoulders. He is the former master of Lucia and one who has the city under control and is boss of the trader’s guild, moreso he is who throws violence for a hobby and whiplashed Lucia as punishment.

Her trauma was stimulated and she began shaking furiously. Somehow, she explained the situation.

“He’s Golet-samas secretary, Rile-sama. He’s Rile-sama, I can’t choose anybody else more vile in means from Golet-sama other than him. I’ve been done more cruel things from Rile-sama than Golet-sama. Continously whiplashing me and not giving me food for several days, leaving me sleep outside in the winter. Did you perhaps come here to take me back!?”

I gently held her shoulder due to her trembling terrifyingly.

“It’s all right, Lucia. I’ll always protect you from now on.”

At my words, Lucia hugged herself tightly.

“Just from my Master’s words, I’ve stopped being afraid. Look, even the shaking stopped. Whenever Master treats me kindly the uneasiness goes away. It gives me total peace of mind!”

“Despite me being an unreliable looking guy?”

Lucia was continously shaking her head

“It’s no good if it’s not Master! Only Master gives me peace! Everybody else is no good!”

The usual reserved Lucia was claiming strongly that.

“I see. I’m very happy for you having faith in me. But, surely you will find somebody else who is fantastic. When you leave the orphanage you would already be a fine lady!”

But, she rejected in a mad rush.

“I will never find such a person! I bet my life on it!”

Until now I haven’t heard Lucia make such strong claims about anything.

If you think about it she’s still a child so that’s probably why. I’m happy that she believes in me.

But saying that ahead of time is bad.

“Don’t say that you’ll bet your life on it impatiently. For me all of you are very precious to me.”

“Precious he says… Most liked… hauu”

With raised voice, Lucia’s with face red and teary eyes she looked up at me.

Uhm, somehow I’m getting my words didn’t pass right.

“Is it not troubling for you me being here? If Rile-sama has came to take me back then there’s no other way but to go with him obediently. Golet-sama is really horrible person. There is no reason for him not to crush this orphanage. In the worst case he may even target Master’s life… I do not want Master to get hurt due to me!”

“Hm? Why do you care about such things? That’s wrong? Lucia, you are still a child so it’s fine if you make trouble more and more.”

“Eh?”

At my unexpected words she stared with surprise.

“You’re a child so don’t think about difficult things. If it’s like then I’ll do all of it. You only have to pass the time brightfully and cheerfully. Playing with friends and studying togethers, that is how it should be.”

On my words Lucia became absent-minded.

But in the next moment, she began mumbling and sniffling. Were my words too harsh…? Is what I thought but it wasn’t so.

“Master… I want to be forever with you! I do not want to return to such horrible place again!”

“That’s right? Moreover in the first place I don’t see why I should hand over Lucia who’s very precious to me?”

“Maaster”

Lucia this time opened her eyes wide and looked at me. Somehow her face was bright and about to cry from excitement.

“Lucia is precious… I want to become older quickly.”

She said something which I didn’t understand well.

“As Lucia said, that guy is our enemy. So, why don’t we go see him? Probably we’ll see something interesting?”

“Huh?”

We began heading towards the door.

“The effectiveness of this rope! This filthy demon being!!”

The one who was spurting out words in such anger was none other than Rile the subordinate of the great merchant Golet-sama. For some reason he was tied up with a rope and rolled out around like bagworm.

A steward looking man with a moustache and with eyes that look upon the surrounding people. Somebody who has high pride and loves cleanliness.

Moreso, the one who binded Rile-sama is

“Long time no see, Masatsugu-sama. The homework which you gave us on the matter for the treaty, I’ve come so that you may verify the answer…”

Mia the demon country’s 5th emperor.

“When I came there was an suspicious guy so I binded him… Was it wrong for me to do so?”

That’s what the demon girl inquired and kneeled infront of me with her head facing downwards. It’s as if I was a king receiving a knight. (TN: This is called Accolade.)

“Please stop this excessive greeting, it’s embarrassing.”

I shockedly said it.

But, she shook her head furiously intending to persist being in that posture to the end.

“No way! I have not come to be impolite to Masatsugu-sama!”

I couldn’t pay attention to her when she said that.

Yeah, for heaven’s sake please stop doing that. I’m not the superior existance you think I am.

While we were exchanging words back and forth a loud yell from one side disturbed us.

“Oi, do you hear me!? Do you think that you can just ignore me!? Untie this rope from me!! Can you hear me saying to untie this rope fast!? Do you even know who I am !?”

I calmed down and replied to the guy rolling on the ground.

“No, don’t know ya. Who are you?”

On my words Rile’s face became vacant.

But after a short while the meaning of the words dawned upon him as his face became red as an octopus and started yelling in anger.

“You bastaaaaaards! All of you sentenced to death penalty! Those who disobey will get death penalty!”

So he yells and moves with his legs to struggle free.

I at Rile’s words exchanged looks with Mira and involuntarily smiled which looked like it had contempt in it.

“Fufu, you’re speaking some funny words. Kukuku, why would we be executed for going against you? By all means, do teach us. Fuck, I can’t contain my laughter.”

I who was unable to hold his laughter asked Rile-sama in a way as if I looking down upon him. I mean I cannot help it. He said “Death penalty” out of nowhere. It’s what an elementary school student would say.

No, that would be impolite to them. Atleast he’s not on the level of human. It’s on the level of an wild monkey.

“What’s so funny! You bastard, do you think it’s okay to make me mad!? I definitely won’t forgive you!”

He raised a high voice and was violently struggling with his hands and feet while on the ground.

Thanks to that he dirtied his expensive clothes with mud by himself.

Uwaa, I called out to the girl behind him while I was drawing further from him.
