"Huh, and Ivy's people are amazing"

"Right. I just couldn't hold it alone, either. Schiffer, thank you."

"... Huh, well, I don't know what else to do"

... I'm kind of sorry.

Neither did I think he was such an amazing being, not only to Ciel, but to Sola.

I think now that you've healed my wounds and saved my dying Ciel, I think you've noticed.

You were conscious of running away and overlooked other important things.

I'm sure you're glad you noticed...

"With that said, Ratlua was recommending the slave of the adventurer to Ivy?

"Oh, there's a good chance Ivy will be targeted if we continue our journey. I'm thinking of an adventurer's slave with the meaning of preventing it, not recommending it"

Likely to be targeted.

I've been getting a lot of attention before I told you about Ciel and Sola, but I don't know why.

It's kind of more than just being a woman.

"Am I easily targeted because I'm a child and a woman?

That's all?

"... maybe you haven't noticed? Ivy has a nice face. I think if you grow up, you'll be beautiful."

... Beautiful?

Wrap your face around with both hands.

………………………… Eh! Can I be a beauty?

"I didn't realize that."

"That's why. When we talked about being targeted, he looked a little strange."

Mr. Schiffer gives me the look I see.

Did you look like that?

Or can you be beautiful?

... Wow, my face is hot.

"Hahaha, Ivy, it's lit"

"I've never been told that before."

Embarrassing.

I feel like my face is red.

"Hahaha, you have a good personality."

To Mr. Sifal's words, I want to escape.

I'm honestly happy to be told I'm going to be beautiful.

I'm so embarrassed, but I'm happy.

But I don't like being targeted more easily.

"Ugh, it's hot"

I try to fan my face with patty hands, but I don't feel comfortable.

Mr Sifal and Mr Ratlua stroked my head for some reason.

"Well, that's why I need to think about protecting you. It should be easy for people in danger to catch their eyes."

Mr. Sifal is nodding at Mr. Ratlua's words.

"Is slavery still the best?

"I think so."

Mr. Ratlua had a few ideas, but he still doesn't seem to change his mind.

But Mr. Sifal has a slightly more difficult look.

Are you against slavery?

"Hmm, maybe we should stop being slaves to adventurers."

Mr. Ratlua gives a surprised look at Mr. Sifal's words.

"Why not?

"I don't think it's a problem being an adventurer if you just protect it. But in Ivy's case, it's important to be discreet."

"Well, I guess so"

If it does stand out, there is a good chance that Sola and Ciel will get away with it.

That is a situation I would definitely like to avoid.

"The slave of the adventurer is certainly not a problem as an escort, but it can be a prominent factor"

"Oh, sure."

Did Mr. Ratlua think of anything, too, that distorted his face a little.

Would such an adventurer's slave stand out?

Though I have seen a few people on the journey.

... It may stand out, but I'm also stuck following it with my eyes.

"Besides, many of you will know me as an adventurer to be an escort"

"Ah, I wasn't thinking about that! Sure, a lot of people I know are good for protection, but don't stand out."

If you're an adventurer who can escort you, you mean an adventurer with a lot of arms?

But slaves like that would be pretty expensive.

I don't think I can do it.

Or is it cheap?

"Um, how many slaves are adventurers?

"I know Ratlua better than I do."

I wonder if Mr. Sifal knows much about slavery?

Turning his gaze to Mr. Ratlua.

"Mostly a slave to the top adventurers, I guess from about 25 gold coins on a five-year contract. That's how many slaves I recommend to Ivy."

... from about 25 gold coins?

What, you can never do it, can you?

You don't have that kind of money, do you?

Ah... gratuities and bounty?

Uh, no way......

"Um, money..."

"He said the money problem is fine with the gratuities and the bounty."

Mr. Ratlua laughs and answers, but I see his face has caught on.

Uh, 25 gold coins for the gratuity and bounty?

Is there that much?

"If you're one slave, you can afford it. There will be plenty of room left. Maybe we can have two."

"....................................... Huh?

What, now I hear something horrible.

If you were one slave, could you afford it?

In other words, the gratuity and bounty are at least 25 gold coins.

Buying slaves leaves money......

The second one too.

"Ah."

"Oh, Ivy's broken"

Mr. Sifal laughed because his strange voice came out of his mouth.

But I don't think we have a choice.

I was thinking with gratuities and bounty money, many would be about 10 gold coins.

Because that was the amount that exceeded the forecast.

... but it hasn't been decided yet.

Even Mr. Ratlua just won't know how much the gratuity and bounty is actually.

"Ivy, because the amount that Ratlua is saying is reasonable"

Mr. Schiffer stabbed me to a halt.

Is it reasonable?

"You're the biggest credit for crushing all that organization. Besides, there are cases of wanted murderers. Yeah, I'm pretty sure 50 gold coins."

... 50 gold coins...

"Oh, uh... I think I'm getting some headaches"

I don't know, I don't want to think about it anymore.

No, I have to think about it to solve the problem.

"Let's get back to it."

I manage to snort at Mr. Sifal's words.

The two of you are giving me a lot of thought, so let's do our best.

And gratuities and bounty money, horrible.

"If an adventurer's slave is impossible, merchant?

Are there also merchant slaves?

Until now, adventurers have only been conscious.

"Mm-hmm, business? You know, Ivy's going to be a good businessman."

"Right. The food is delicious. Don't you think we could make a popular store or something?

"... what are we going to do with it as a popular store? You stand out, don't you?"

"Oh, I did"

Mr. Sifal and Mr. Ratlua keep talking, but I wonder how the hell I'm being seen.

I have never done business, so I think success is difficult.

You can't cook without my help before.

"Hmm, other than the slave of the adventurer"

Mr. Ratlua is bothering his head.

"Are non-adventurers slaves difficult to find?

"There's plenty of them."

Mr. Sifal's slightly shuddered voice.

"Except it's the cause of the enslavement that's the problem."

"Uh, problem?

"Adventurers often fall into slavery because of work failures, but the average person falls into slavery because of alcohol and gambling debt problems. Some people repeat it over and over again, and this kind of guy can't do it."

"The worst part is the alcohol problem. Some people change their personality when they drink."

What causes you to fall into slavery?

Certainly the alcohol problem will not improve soon, and I would prefer not to.

I've heard that gambling is a habit.

"For what other reason do you fall into slavery?

"Mm-hmm. You've also heard of houses at merchants for filling holes in business failures, or for treatment costs. It's just that they're so small and popular that they can't get around each other."

I see, a slave fall caused by none other than himself?

I'm sure those people are better off, too.

"You said you were headed to the next town in the king's capital, right?

"Yes."

"Is that the path through the town next to Otrewa, the town of All?

"Yes."

"There are famous slave traders in that town over there. You might get a slave of hope over there."

Mr. Ratlua is really familiar with slavery.

Is it also for any reason?

"Ivy, Ratlua's had a slave fall once."

"What!"

I stare at Mr. Ratlua in Mr. Sifal's words.

"I got an old, adventurous, slightly reckless request. An adventurer I know bought me a debt service in four years."

I see, that's why you're familiar with it.

"You're lucky to have a good guy buy it. Ivy would feel safe."

Is it also for me and for the slaves?

Mr. Ratlua is really sweet.
