Chapter 102: [Short Story] Hero (Yuusha) Zect's Redo, Part Two - Slave Merchant Ordo Trading Company

Zect's POV

"So, former Hero (Yuusha)... it's another wyvern day, huh?"

"Yeah."

After all, this is what I am... an adventurer do.

I'm still an S-class adventurer... but I felt the thrill of the fight against the dragon horde.

I guess I grew up a little.

I can hunt wyverns and earth dragons.

If one hunts dragons, one earns the title of 'Dragon Slayer'.

That's what Ceres has... and that's what I'm going for now.

I have decided.

But... it's a mess.

It's dirty.

One week has passed since I started working in the Galvin Empire and already my room is a mess.

In the past, Ceres cleaned the room often.

My three childhood friends are not good cleaners either...

Thinking about it now, Ceres was also doing the job of a 'wife'.

No wonder my mother became a woman.

A gentle man who does his job well and helps with the housework.

That's the ideal man for women in the village.

They said there is no such ideal man for women.

And that's what my father and I were talking about... but there was one exception.

Ceres.

Aside from that... what should I do about the situation?

I need someone to clean house.

Either ask the guild's child adventurers... or buy slaves.

But while I'm away on business, even if it's just a kid, I can't have him/her coming and going all the time...

Then I guess I'll have to go with 'slave'.

* * *

Now, I came to the nearest slave trader. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

There are three slaver trader in the Galvan Empire.

There are no other than those three.

If someone tries to sell slaves behind their back, they go to jail.

And the one I'm with is the Ordo Trading Company.

It's the cheapest of the three.

The other two, by the way, are high-class establishments used by nobles and royalty.

"Indeed..."

I'm a Hero (Yuusha), so my sense of smell is much better than that of ordinary people.

From the back room, I hear breathing.

"By the way, there seems to be someone in the back room..."

"Oh, is it there? There are some slaves to be disposed of... do you want to see them if you're interested? But it's pretty unpleasant..."

It's disgusting...? Well, let's just watch it as a spectacle, shall we?

"Well, let's just have a look..."

In that room was a girl... simply put, a girl of pure white.

Unlike the silvery white hair of Ceres, she had real white hair and real white skin... people say that white skin is beautiful, but it's not... it's real white, white as snow.

And her eyes were bright red.

"...Is she a human?"

"Until recently, they were called half-demons and were said to be half demon and half human... but according to the recent academy, they found out that they are albinos, which means humans with little pigmentation... but in that village, there is still talk of half-demons... and I was asked to dispose of her... But first of all, for slave trader, disposal does not mean sending them to the mines to kill them... though they are not worth the price because they are said to be weak and susceptible to sunburn."

Except for her white hair and body and red eyes... she's a pretty girl.

"Can I talk to her for a moment?"

"Sure."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too... but don't come here just to pester me!"

"No, I'd like to talk to you."

"You must think I'm a monster or something, right...? So there's no point in talking to me... everyone hates me whether I talk to them nicely or coldly... that's why I talk to them coldly... and you do the same, don't you?"

Maria was slender and quite thin, but she was thinner than her.

Also, she was a little taller than Mel.

The closest word would be 'skinny,' probably because she did not receive any real food.

What's more, I noticed that she has a 'give up on everything' look in her eyes.

It's kind of worse than mine.

"So, if I buy you, could you be nicer to me?"

"What?! Are you stupid? You're buying me, a monster? Are you kidding? I'm gonna be pissed if you don't shut up."

Thinking it again, I was surrounded by quiet people.

Maybe I'm better off with the noisy ones.

"Hey, I'll buy her... How much?"

I'm sure it's cheap... I don't need to ask how much.

"The price is 5 silver coins, the empire has a minimum price for slaves and it can't be less than 5 silver coins... and 3 silver coins for the engraving of the slave's crest, so 8 silver coins in total."

That's cheap... if it will free her from the filthy room, I guess it's good.

"Okay, I got it."

"Thank you for your purchase."

"Hey... you really want to buy me? You're a freak!"

With this, she'll be able to live a little healthier... that's good.
