96 - Extraordinary Edition 1

A girl - her name is Silica - was rescued near the "Giant Tower" by the Mohicans.

She and her parents were traveling back and forth between the human kingdoms as peddlers.

On the way, they were attacked by monsters and her parents died.

Silica was lucky to survive, but it was difficult for the human girl to survive on her own, and she fell into slavery.

After some twists and turns, she was bought as a slave by the elves and made to walk in the virgin forest as a leader and bait for the monsters.

On the way, however, she was attacked and killed by a giant four-legged monster with a snake for a tail. The elf was frightened that he too would be eaten, but the monster ignored him and disappeared into the forest.

Later, when he left the forest with the help of the Mohicans, his ownership was transferred to the merchants.

As the daughter of a former peddler, she appreciated that the merchant to whom she was sold was 'doing a solid business' and treating them as well as possible.

(It could be that the demand is great because the "Giant Tower" fiasco has just attracted adventurers and soldiers, but it's a solid business practice. ......)

They don't make big profits, but they don't go into the red either.

That's the way they sold it.

Silica was the daughter of a former peddler, so she could do the math, which made her very useful in the store.

She was also as good-looking as anyone else and prided herself on her charm.

(I hope she can become the merchant's concubine.)

Silica herself was a slave, and although she was as good-looking as anyone else, she had useful appeal. The merchant is single and older, but acceptable enough.

Above all, she thought it was much better than being sold to someone else again and forced to be a "leader and monster bait.

However, her treatment changed drastically.

A human woman who calls herself the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" has attacked the Queen Elf Kingdom on the back of a dragon.

She forced the Elven Queen to recognize the "absolute independence of the human race" and declared it an official law, forbidding the enslavement of the human race.

Thanks to this law, the slaves held by the merchants who were doing business near the entrance to the primeval forest - including Silica herself - were caught by this law.

As a result, the ownership of the merchant's silica and other girl slaves was transferred.

To be precise, under the merchant, an immensely beautiful woman, dressed in a maid's outfit, with transparent wings on her back and somehow floating in the air, appeared with a dragon and said

I'm in charge of this area, but how much are all these girls worth?

Well, ......, how about this much?"

I'll be right with you. I'll add a little color to it. Good job!

Thank you!"

They bought themselves with formal money.

If they had been forcibly taken from us, we would have complained, but we were slaves, and if we were formally bought and sold, we had nothing to say.

The woman looked somewhat languid, but she had large breasts and was so beautiful that even Silica herself would forgive most things if she smiled at you.

The clothes she wears are maid's uniform, but there is not a single stain on them. The fabrics looked expensive enough that one could tell at a glance that they were of good quality.

(I wonder if the price of one maid's outfit would be more expensive than the price of a hundred of mine.)

The adventurers, who were rough around the edges, were not going to remain silent when a beautiful maid showed up.

They try to mess with her.

The maid, not caring about the dragon's roar, nudges Silica and the others away.

We're going to move, so get on the dragon's back. It's only a short ride from here to the tower, so don't be scared and don't be wild. If you fall off, you will die.

"What?

Move on the back of a dragon. ......

This means that we will be flying and moving through the air.

As slaves, they have no choice, and the four slave girls, including Silica, ride fearfully on the dragon's back.

Then, please do me a favor.

Gruuu!"

The dragon flaps its wings and flies through the air to the sound of the maid woman's voice.

Hee!

The slave girls, including Shirika, let out a short scream, but they all cling to the dragon with their bodies stiffened to prevent them from falling.

The actual travel time was less than 10 minutes, but the girls felt it was more than that.

After safely reaching the rumored "giant tower," the girls all sat down on the spot as if feeling grateful for the ground.

'Yes, thank you for your hard work~. There is nothing in particular to do after this, so just relax for a while. I'm going to go report, so please wait here for a while. And don't go into the forest without permission from me and the others. We are cleaning up the monsters, but it's not perfect, so you might die if you go into the forest without permission.

Ha, yes, I will be careful."

Silica responded on behalf of the maid lady.

The maid woman said to the dragon, 'Thank you for your hard work - you can rest now for the day. The dragon nodded and took off again into the sky.

The maid woman watches the dragon fly off into the sky, and then heads off to the "giant tower".

The slave girls were left there with a pout.

Silica's fear, stimulated by her temporary air travel, calmed down, and she began to observe the "giant tower" again.

(This is the "Giant Tower" I've heard so much about. ......)

A tower as tall as the name "Giant Tower" stands in the center of the plaza, a pure white, heavenly tower.

The ground in a radius of about 1 km was leveled around this "giant tower," and golems that looked to be about 3 meters high stood evenly on the border with the forest in place of guards.

In addition to Shirika and the others, there seemed to be more than two or three hundred former slaves (humans).

Silica noticed this number intuitively.

(We're going to die if we don't do something about it. ......)

Although the area around the "Giant Tower" has been cleared, there is not even a single field.

There is not even a tent, let alone a house, so there is no place to sleep, and of course there are no clothes.

The surrounding area is surrounded by virgin forests, so there is no way for shoppers or peddlers to come to the nearby towns.

Even if they were to stock up on food, the nearest place to buy it would be the Queen Elf Nation, a nation of proud elves.

It would be possible to threaten them again with dragons and take their food from them. ......

There is still a race of former slaves (humans) from all over the Elven Queen Nation to come. It is physically impossible to feed them all.

（I heard that it was the "Witch of the Great Tower" who declared the "absolute independence of the human race," but there is no way that someone with such a great big tower and so many dragons in tow would be concerned about the lives of the people below them. In other words, we have to make a living by ourselves from now on. ...... But we, as children, will never be able to do it. ......)

How long will it take to get food from the fields? ......

If left alone, it will be nearly impossible for girls like Silica and the others to survive until then.

(We can't all survive like this unless we at least use magic to make food like the legendary sorceresses in the story. ......)

But a story is just a story.

It is a figment of the imagination and generally impossible to produce food through witchcraft.

In other words, Silica and her friends have no choice but to die here. ......

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the "magic" in the world of magic is not only a product of fantasy, but also a general conception of what magic can do.

I'm sorry I made you wait. I'm going to build a temporary facility for everyone to live in, so please wait a moment~.

......?"　Give me, huh?"

I'll give you a little space there. Then, release the prefab.

The fairy maid held a card in her hand and chanted "Release," and a one-story iron building appeared in front of her.

'............ eh?"

Silica could only let out a questioning voice, unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes.
