"Watch your words," This is Master Rid Bardia, son of the House of Bardia."
"...... Sorry, I'm not very good with formal speech. I' What should I call you? Young ...... lord ...... master ...... young master or something like that?"
When he pointed out the language, he took one look at Deanna and bailed.
Then he shifted his gaze to me again as he answered.
This boy seems a little more nurturing than the other children of the beastmen tribe.
He has a coarse yet awe-inspiring appearance, and I guess he is conscious of using polite language in his own way.
'I don't want to be called young master or master, so just call me Rid."
'Well, Rid, ......-sama. Is that okay?"
He looked at Deanna while saying awkwardly.
She looked a little surprised.
The reason is that she has a firm answer from the beastmen children up to now.
"..... Well, that's good. At this stage, I'd say it's up to par."
"I see. ...... By the way, Master Rid, I may not be in a position to say this, but may I ask a favor of you?""
He shifted his gaze to me and then muttered,
Deanna frowns when she hears the word "please.
Capella's face is expressionless, but I get the feeling she doesn't think much of it.
I smiled at him as I took in the state of the two of them.
'It's okayd. But I don't know if I can fulfill your favor. But I'm willing to listen to you if you'd like."
"That's enough. The rest of the bears, people except me, are good people, even if they have a weak heart. So please don't be rough with them. If they need to be punished, I will take their place. ...... This is my wish."
I was surprised at his unexpected words.
Of course, I had no intention of punishing those guys or doing anything rough to them.
But now, I still can't imagine how he would treat me.
In this situation, his first request to me is to 'take the place of his friends.
I don't know if I would call it bold or gutsy, but I don't think it's something you can do very often.
There was no falsehood in his eyes. He just looked me straight in the eye.
I gave him a little thought, and then nodded to him.
"I'll consider it. But I don't plan to punish anyone or do anything rough from the start. I want you to be assured of that. Also, may I know your name?"
'I see, I haven't told you my name yet. I'm sorry. My name is Karua. Rid ......, you seem like a nice guy."
I rolled my eyes.
I never thought I'd hear such a thing from a beastman child who came to me as a slave.
He then bows to me before being led by a knight to his lodging.
With this, the reception of the beastmen children was all over.
The area seemed to have calmed down a bit from the hectic atmosphere we had just experienced.
Then, Deanna turned over with a dissatisfied look on her face and a hand on her forehead.
"I know it can't be helped, but the children of the Beast Tribe are not polite at all. As a servant of the Bardia family, I can' t allow them to continue like that. I think we need to ask Lady Marietta to review our etiquette training. "
"Hahaha ...... please be gentle with them ........ ......"
I replied with a chuckle to her slightly angry words.
I heard from Chris and Emma as we worked that most of the children of the beastmen tribe had no parents and lived in slum-like places.
In their lives there, theft and robbery were a daily occurrence.
Naturally, because of such a place, human life is also light.
Children in such a place have no regrets, so they are easy targets for slave traffickers such as this one.
The children who came this time probably all came from similar backgrounds.
As I lay there thinking about this, a booming voice echoed around the area.
I look up as if responding to the voice and see Dinas, a large guy with a fresh skinhead, coming toward me.
Rubens was also by his side.
". From now on, the Knights will split up into two groups, one to clean up the site and the other to move to the dormitory to support the other side."
"Yes, please. I will head to the dormitory after this, so please take care of the rest."
As I nodded in reply, my eyes suddenly met Rubens', who was standing next to him.
Then a thought occurred to me and I grinned.
'I'm going to go back to the dorm first with Capella, so you can talk to Rubens a little bit before you come back. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about."
...."⁉ I appreciate your kind words, master . Rid, but we are in the middle of an escort. I'm sure you're right, Rubens. Isn't that right, Rubens?"
She replied with a bit of anger in her words and looked at Rubens with a cold stare that seemed to shun him.
He chuckled at her gaze.
'Umm, yes, I suppose so. Thank you for your concern, Master . Rid. But as Deanna said, I'm at work right now, so I'm fine.'"
'Really? Well then, fine."
I smiled at the two of them and this time I walked toward the inn.
Now, I wonder what the situation is like at the dorm .
"Watch your words," This is Master Rid Bardia, son of the House of Bardia."
