403 Episode 395... Slave Trading Hey.

Bart, Follett and the Takeo men who broke up were watching open-air merchants from a different alley.

"... it's up to you with that man.

Again, Brooke confirms and squeals as Takeo stands on his back to the street and Mia stretches his arm to show direction.

A little fat man spraying a pipe was forming at the end of the street and alley.

"... I see a shadow in the back of that, but... what?

Takeo says as he looks.

"... Lord Kitamizato, I am the slave trader.

You're handcuffed to both hands of the man in the back, and you're wearing a collar, right?

Arkin looks disgusted and says.

"Slave... hey.

Mr. Meyer, you certainly didn't take slavery in the Azpur kingdom, did you?

"Yes, it is.

"If anyone with a slave contract enters the kingdom of Azpur, the slave contract is fulfilled, so we only responded enough to ask them to destroy it... right?

"... Lord Kitamizato... are you going to be bought?

Meyer asks in surprise.

"You're not going to buy it right now, just to be sure.

More than that, Mr. Meyer.

I learned that slavery employs it in the Wilip Union... even in the Katlanda Empire?

"No, I've never heard of any of those reports.

How's Arkin?

"At least during my last investigation, I didn't realize I was selling slaves.

I realize it's still at this angle... but there's a tent, so I was wondering if you could just tell I was walking down the street... "

Arkin says with a difficult face.

"Hmm... you should ask around there too.

... Mia, balls.

"Nha."

"Yes, Lord.

"Join Mr. Arkin and Mr. Brooke on the roundabout to the alley across the street.

Get close to the slaves and listen to them so that no one else can find them.

"Yes. What do you ask?

"Right... ask me how and why.

"Okay, Lord.

"Mr. Meyer will go with me to ask that man a question.

"Yes.

In the unlikely event of a commotion, would you like to take a long walk and assemble at the inn?

Meyer asks.

"Yeah, Mia and the others do.

Me and Mr. Meyer stopped by the Adventurers Union office before going to the inn.

If it goes well, meet me in the alley just now.

"" "Yes.

"Nha."

"Okay, let's go.

Oh, shall I talk to Mr. Meyer about a little setup until he's ready to travel and be ready over there with me?

After listening to Takeo, each of them began to prepare.

"Grandma, will you sell me the pipe leaves?

Takeo speaks to the man who is spraying the pipe.

"Hmm?... I don't mind.

A man answers the question of being a jerk.

Takeo gives away 50 copper coins.

"Hmm?"

First decent look at Takeo when he sees the money a man has been given.

"Sorry, I hung up..."

Takeo shows an empty little box where he was putting leaves in, saying so.

"Well... I don't mind.

Take whatever you want from me.

and a man takes out a large small box and puts it in front of Takeo.

"I'm sorry.

Takeo laughs bitterly and begins to transfer the leaves from the box.

♪

"Boy, you should stop the pipe, right?

Meyer, who was behind me, tells Takeo.

"Ha... it won't be 30 more and there won't be any kids..."

"I've known it for a long time. Boy is a boy.

"For a long time... you were just making a dime on our farm when I was little, weren't you?

I hope you don't tell me like I've been watching you for a long time.

Well, you care about my body, so I'll just know Soko.

Takeo answers wearily.

"Well, because I'll stop?

"In about 30 years."

Takeo does not care to transfer the leaves to the box.

"Then the boy dies from too much pipe smoking.

"Phew, the old man in front of me is a good witness.

It means you can live longer even if you're piped.

Hey, old man.

Takeo seems to have fun.

"Oh, your young husband is right.

Sir, give it up.

Men laugh off "gahaha".

"Hehe."

Takeo laughs and shows it too.

"Boy... I'll make you stop one day.

"Yes, sir.

Meyer protests with his jitsu eyes, but Takeo creates a look that he doesn't even care.

"Young master, where are you headed with your travel support?

A relaxed man asks.

"Hmm? Until the Willip Union.

"Ho, are you coming to my country?

You want to buy something?

"I don't know if I'll buy it... but I want to see what a slave looks like.

"Slave? I'm the slaver, right?

"My old man?... Oh, that's what's behind it.

Heh. "

Takeo looks behind the tent with a slight crouching but immediately returns his gaze to the man.

"Young master, what do you want?

"No... I don't know if I'll buy it yet.

If your body is sturdy and you do simple work...

... Actually, we're cotton farmers, but I hired a young man and he quit right away... "

"Cotton farmers... because wages seem to be cheap in our country.

"At this time, I'm trying to hire about one or two people as slaves and I wish I could hire about two more people in two years if the results are good.

I'd like to get my purchase back from my monthly salary and cancel my slave contract once the repayment is done.

"I see... your young husband is sweet.

Purchase assuming disarm?

You can treat me like a slave for the rest of my life, okay?

"Um... but... see, with the bait of freedom, it's going to be submissive, isn't it?

He's going to do his best at his job.

Takeo said pleasantly.

"Oh, your young husband knows.

Actually, there are a lot of customers who don't know that part.

I have a lot of troublesome problems to develop later.

"Ho... vulgar sex slaves or something?

Meyer asks.

"Sex slavery is too extensive.

I hear that some customers just do some pretty egregious things.

So, you're going to get killed in retribution.

Well, I haven't picked that many customers, and I don't know what happened after I sold them.

"Grandma's a lot of businessmen, too.

"Well. If you get emotional, you can't be a slave trader.

"Hmm. By the way, Grandma, I thought the slave traders were only in the Willip Union.

Why are you here?

"Hmm? Doesn't your young husband know?

A trade agreement entered into force between the Katlanda Empire and the Willip Union around the middle of last month.

There's a certain amount of duty... but almost everything is now available for sale.

"Huh!?... Is that cotton too?

Takeo asks.

"Oh, I guess.

"Hmm... we need to find out the price of cotton in the Willip Union, etc.

Grandma, do you think the cotton farmer over there hires slaves, too?

"Oh, farmers in my country employ more or less slaves.

"And can that begin on the same terms...

It's beneficial in terms of transportation costs, but... "

Takeo pretends to be bothered.

"So, young husband. Why don't you buy ours?

There are just two more people left.

Good luck with the price, huh?

"The right number of people..."

Takeo looks in the back.

"Young women and old men?

... Grandma, human slavery can take its place. Really?

Takeo sees and hears those who are wearing collars.

"Hmm?... Oh, these guys aren't human species.

He's an animal. He's an animal.

This is my certificate.

A man takes out a piece of paper.

The content was a contract of slavery.

"Grandma, what's this?

"That's a certificate and a contract.

It would have a race and a name on it, wouldn't it?

If my employer signs at the end of the day, my contract will be honored.

The name of the employer enters the collar.

And here's the magic, the specification that can't be burned or cut unless the employer rescinds the slave contract in the prescribed procedure.

Besides, if we lose this paper, we can't cancel the slave contract.

"What if my employer dies before I cancel my contract?

"I can't disarm you. You remain a slave for the rest of your life.

I can't take that collar off for life.

If the employer is alive, there is a way to define the employer of continuity, and he is to be able to inherit the slave.

But you can't inherit it it after you're dead.

"Is that it? He said earlier that he was going to take revenge or something..."

"Ah. I guess that's why they did so much to make you think you were a slave for the rest of your life.

You can't get a job anywhere if you're a slave, and you're not allowed to marry... and if you wear a collar with no name on it, no one can complain about you getting killed... that's hard stuff.

"I see.

That's all you need to pay attention to treating slaves.

"Well... right.

So, young husband. What are we gonna do?

Because this is what the price is. "

Men write prices on paper.

"... Hmm... is this price the best you can get?

Any perks?

"Well... if it's normal, I'll have a compliance clause for honoring my husband's orders when I sign a contract... two more! Make sure your young husband is free to attach a compliance clause when he contracts!

"Hmm... how long will Grandma be here?

"Right... you'll be up till tomorrow for a drink.

"Okay.

I'll think about it for a second. If you're willing to buy it, you'll be here by tomorrow.

"Oh, okay.

But I don't know if you'll be here tomorrow.

"That's when it is.

I give up thinking I had no luck.

Takeo grinned and walked away from the man.
