97 - Extra Edition 2

Not caring that Silica, a former slave girl by race, and the other former slave girls are surprised, the fairy maid enters the "prefab" that was built in an instant.

Within seconds of entering, she opens the door again to reveal herself to Silica and the others.

She opens the door again and appears before Silica and the others. If you need anything else, please tell Aashika or the other maids. It may take some time to prepare some of the items. Then come in and check. Oh, and no shoes are allowed in the room.

Yes. ...... Sorry to bother you."

Fairy maids are always floating in the air, so their feet never get dirty.

Silica and the others followed her words and took off their shoes before entering the prefab.

The room was about eight tatami mats in size, with two wooden bunk beds at each end, a carpet on the floor, a wardrobe in the back, a tea table and cookies in the center, and bottled tea.

(Yikes, to create a room comparable to such a middle-class inn in an instant!　(Oh, it's impossible!)

As Silica and the others are astonished and stunned, the fairy maid speaks to them.

We discussed the beds and decided on the top or the bottom," she said. There are enough clothes and underwear in the wardrobe for everyone, so please discuss that as well. There are temporary toilets outside the prefab house, so you can use them. You can see the well, can't you?　Please take care of it as you see fit. At any rate, you have time until dinner, so just pick up some butter cookies and tea on the table--the chabudai.

"Oh, sis, am I allowed to eat this pastry?"

The youngest of the former slave girls reaffirmed with sparkling eyes.

The somewhat languid-looking fairy maid smiled, patted her head and nudged her.

Of course~. That's why I brought it out. The lid of a plastic tea bottle comes off when you twist the top part like this. Well, I still have work to do, so I'll call you when it's time for dinner.

The fairy maid leaves the prefab.

The remaining girls sat on the carpet for the time being, reaching for the snacks and tea on the chabutai.

The youngest former slave girl's eyes sparkle.

Mmmm!　This candy tastes so good!"

The tea is also delicious, not cloyingly sweet. ......

I can't believe that we, who were slaves, could eat such delicious food. ......

............"

Unlike the girls who were impressed by the taste of butter cookies and tea, Silica, a former peddler's daughter, was immensely excited in her heart.

(These cookies are too delicious!　They didn't just add premium sugar to make it sweet, they balanced the texture, the feel, the taste, etc.!　And they are all the same shape and baked to ....... They are made by the hands of a very renowned craftsman. (If I sold them, each one could be worth a silver coin.)

The girls crunch and eat deliciously the cookies, which can be sold for a silver coin a piece if you choose the right place to sell them.

If they are not so good, one or a few cookies can be sold for the same price as their own.

It is not only cookies.

（The tea is also filled with a drinkable amount of high quality sugar, and the transparent "pettobotsukuru," which is different from glass, is also useful and ...... anyone who wants this container alone would probably pay several silver coins for it.)

Only Silica, a former peddler's daughter, could have realized the incredible amount of money spent on even a single snack or tea given in a light-hearted manner.

--But her surprise is far from over.

As the sun sets, the fairy maids use light magic to create a ball of light to illuminate the area.

Thanks to this, it was as bright as daylight despite the night.

Supper is self-service, and the menu includes stew, grilled or oiled meat, baked or boiled fish, bread, salad, and many other items.

Each person lines up according to his or her preference, receives a tray with his or her supper, and sits down to eat it at a couch and table prepared in the open air.

After eating, the dishes are to be returned to the designated place.

The dishes are to be returned to the designated place when finished eating. There is enough for everyone.

Oh, oh, oh, you can have a refill!"

A bespectacled fairy maid stirs the stew in a large skillet.

The nerdy-looking fairy maid next to her shouts out permission for a refill, somehow happily. Another maid taps her on the back of the head.

The fairy maids, all of them beautiful and pretty, are like bees in a giant tower.

Shirika stood in line and looked at them, and then she said to herself, "They are all so beautiful.

(Maybe there is some kind of magic that creates beautiful women and girls in the "Giant Tower.)

The more I thought about it, the more I saw beautiful women and girls of different types coming and going from the "huge tower.

Shirika and her friends received their dinner and sat down at an empty table.

Everyone immediately started to eat their dinner.

!　This stew is delicious!"

It's full of vegetables and meat!

This meat is good too!　And fish!"

The bread is white and fluffy, like something a nobleman would eat!

Silica and her roommates were innocently delighted by the deliciousness of their dinner.

Silica, on the other hand, was shocked by the deliciousness of the ...... stew, meat and salad, but above all, she was most astonished by the bread.

(This bread!　They are soft as if they were shredded clouds. Most importantly, the wheat used in this bread ...... I've never had anything like it!)

Wheat is made in many countries, but the best is the racial (human) kingdom.

Located almost in the center of the continent, the Human Kingdom's main occupation is agriculture, and wheat and vegetables are produced in large quantities.

These are exported to five other countries to earn foreign currency.

In other words, the Kingdom of Humans is a pantry for the other countries. In a bad way, it is a weak country that is deprived of food due to the weakness of the human race.

Therefore, the taste of wheat in this world is basically that of the Human Kingdom. Naturally, the taste of wheat grown in other countries and lands varies, but the difference is not that great.

Nevertheless, the wheat that Silica tasted was sweeter than the wheat that exists in this world.

(I couldn't tell when I ate cookies because of the sweetness of the sugar, but when I ate bread, it was distinctly different. The sweetness of wheat is stronger than that of sugar. But I've never seen or heard of such sweet, fragrant wheat!)

In other words, the food we are now happily eating is something we have never seen or heard of - in other words, 'not made in this world.

(What, a dream?　(Is this a dream?)

She is unsure of where she is currently.

She says, "Didn't ...... taste good?　Or is there something wrong with you?"

Huh?

I looked up when I heard a voice and saw the most beautiful maid among the fairy maids calling out to me.

She is a beautiful girl, but on the contrary, she is so beautiful that she seems to have lost her individuality.

Silica moistens her dry throat with saliva and denies it.

'It's okay, I'm fine. I'm not sick. The food is delicious."

Well, that's good."

An overly beautiful fairy maid laughs.

The way she laughed was also very cute.

She tells me with a smile on her face.

Don't worry. You are saved.

Hey, what are you ...... saying?"

The beautiful girl maid assured Silica's heart with eyes that saw through everything.

The "absolute independence of the human race" that the master approved and proclaimed. Now that you have been declared and protected, you will no longer suffer from hunger, shiver in the cold, be discriminated and look down in fear of the threat of foreign enemies. Once you are protected by the master, happiness is guaranteed.

Then she smiles and continues her words.

As long as you are alive, you have the right to be happy. No one species is above another and no one race (human) is below another. As long as ...... we are here, we cannot be bought by others. No one is ordered to die. You will be free to stand on your own two feet here. You will be taught how to fish, you will be taught how to grow high-yield crops, and you will continue to stand on your feet. You even have the freedom to leave this place - it is absolutely guaranteed that you will be happy, that you will live 'of your own free will.

............"

The eyes of the beautiful girl maid were endlessly beautiful.

There was no fanatical darkness caused by religion in sight.

Her words are not fanaticism. Like the sky is blue and the wind blows - she is absolutely convinced that the silicas are absolutely committed to "live of their own volition".

So you have nothing to worry about, okay?"

Yes.

Silica responds, and once again, she gives a big smile and walks away.

The remaining silica is aware of their situation.

(Thanks to the power of the "Witch of the Giant Tower," we have been liberated and can "live by our own will. ......)

When my father died and my mother died, I gave up everything.

She too became a slave and thought she would soon go to her parents.

(I, may I live ......?)

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" is so powerful. It must be an easy task to cut down trees and expand the land.

Even if hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of humans gathered together, they would not have to starve, shiver in the cold, or look down in fear of foreign threats and discrimination.

It is like a mythical world in a story.

(We somehow got lost in the world of stories. ......)

Silica takes a mouthful of stew.

The stew had turned to a slight warmth, but it was just delicious.
