Today is the second day of the New Year, the faces of the Elvis family and Takeo, the little ones and Gina were caged in the guest room.
By the way, Victor and Frederick are working in the government building on the job of the Inspector General's Department.
Gina is waiting at the edge of the room when Frederick tells her to "handle it until she comes back".
When the guest room door is knocked and Grandpa Elvis gives permission, the maid comes in with everyone's tea and sweets.
"Count, a letter has come from the King's Capital.
"Um, good luck.
Grandpa Elvis receives a letter from a maid.
And when they had served tea and sweets before, they withdrew.
"Hmm... see you later Leila (...).
Hmm? Is this from the General Inspectorate?
Grandpa Elvis sighs and reads the letter.
"Hmm... this is more for Takeo than for me.
"Is that me?
Takeo receives Leila's letter from Grandpa Elvis.
Takeo sees the content of it all the time.
The content was a request to go to the Willip Union because they wanted the Wang Metropolitan Guard to include the Fae.
"... Takeo, what are you going to do?
Grandpa Elvis asks me over a cup of tea.
Takeo passes the letter to Alice next door after watching.
Alice starts looking inside with Smith.
"Well... I'm not going to refuse to go, but...
You don't feel like taking Victor and Gina to the boulder.
"Indeed.
"Master, what did Wang Du tell you?
Gina asks.
"Hmm... would you like to ask Gina a candid place?
Gina tilts her neck.
"His Majesty will give an order saying, 'Go to the Wilip Union because you want to put a Fae in the Wang Metropolitan Guard and buy a good slave'.
"Huh!? Isn't the kingdom of Azpar not employing slavery?
"Yep. So he seems willing to hire me by buying over there and rescinding the slave contract at the gates of the kingdom of Azpur or by taking the same (...) employment method as Gina.
"... just like me?
"Yes. Looks like even Wang Du will use the loopholes in the law that a nobleman did.
At the time of the discussion in the King's Capital during this time, he said the slavery pact would be culturally explicit for up to 25 years.
So you also want to experiment with the Wang Du side as a practical example of the law.
And is it to the Wang Du Guard... you do something thoughtful.
"It is. Are you understaffed because of Takeo?
"You pulled out six active executives.
Plus I might pull more out next year... and one end of the cause is me, right?
"Hmm.
So, Gina, think about the ex-slave... I know it's hard to remember.
Are you going to tell us what you saw and heard around here?
"Count, master, I'm fine.
That memory is hard but now I'm happy.
"I'm sorry.
Gina, do slave traders get together somewhere?
"Me and your father are ships, but other than that, they were brought in.
The place is... I'm sorry, I don't know.
But first, they will be collected in one place, examined, auctioned off and handed over after a pre-market to the slave traders.
"Hmm, I just feel bad about the explanation right now.
"Yep. Human trafficking is not a fun thing to hear about... but it would be because we (...)
It should be a everyday sight if it comes from a nation or city where slaves are the norm.
"Hmm... I know what Takeo said.
And Gina, isn't the physical examination naked?
"Yes, I was naked.
The end of Alice's and Smith's eyes hanging, listening without saying anything.
"... it's easy to imagine... but you don't want to be hit.
Now, Gina, I don't mind as a feeling, but do you think it's possible to buy a few people in the Kingdom of Azpur (us) and train them as soldiers?
"I think it's possible.
Besides, my lord, slaves have no hope.
What kind of person buys you, how long can you live?
... all that is there is despair.
Fortunately, I had a father or mother.
Furthermore, the slaver's uncle didn't treat us underneath, and after your husbands bought us, they treat us properly.
I undoubtedly enjoy the best happiness of those who have experienced that despair.
Neither I nor your father will ever forget this grace.
I will work well for 25 years!
"I didn't expect you to pledge so much loyalty... because I'll try to get paid up.
Takeo groans with a troubled face.
"Hmm, I know what Gina's up to.
I wonder if there are people like Victor and Gina.
"All you can see when buying is race and name.
Gina, you could talk about your origins or something, right?
"Yes, but we stopped saying it because we couldn't believe how much we said it.
It's about your husband you've been able to work with.
And then they told me I felt like it or something.
"Well, normally you wouldn't think that the Lords would lose themselves to slavery.
I might not have bought it if Mia hadn't recommended it either, or if Victor hadn't told Mia, 'I can fight but I can't kill my own kind'.
But there is now because we talked honestly to each other.
Now, to get back to it, there's something about buying and soldiering like Victor and Gina if you put it quickly.
Gina said loyalty will vary from individual to individual... but it moves on the assumption that everyone will have some.
"Um, Gina's emotions would be obvious if she lived a straight life.
Then it is possible that some of them are deviant.
"Right. It will also be true that there are a certain number of things in any world that have an overall opinion and opposition.
"Dear Takeo, isn't that a general society story?
"Miss Alice, it's not safe to decide there.
Surely there is room for sympathy as to how Gina and Victor were enslaved.
But we shouldn't all think of ourselves as unhappy from the beginning.
"... Dear Takeo, do you think there are those who want to be slaves themselves?
Smith asks as he thinks.
"There is absolutely no such thing in the world.
Then we can't rule out the possibility that there are people with peculiar thoughts that we can't think of.
"Uhm.
Besides, it's because ordinary people are not the only ones (...) who become slaves.
"Sure.
Grandpa Elvis and Takeo sigh at the same time.
"What does Grandpa and Takeo care about?
He asks as Smith makes a strange face.
"... Takeo, if I were in the position of king of the demonic kingdom, I would send in...
What does Takeo think?
"I know I'm sending in soldiers or middlemen too... but I was wondering if the capabilities needed depend on what I do against the Willip Union.
But if the only thing you can do more than not know where to sell in the Willip Union is about simultaneous bee lifting, then the flesh is still strong, too... that?... don't know where to sell it?
Takeo bothers me.
"Dear Takeo, Didn't Gina say earlier that it was an auction?
If it's an auction, where is it going to be bought... that? Can I buy it for sure if I spend money?
"Yeah. As Smith Boy said, if you're auctioning, I thought you could collect it for money.
Maybe the demon kingdom has a base within the Willip Union.
"Uhm... then there are those within the Wilip Union who are cooperating with the Demon Kingdom.
"Well, that's true in the kingdom of Azpur, regardless of slavery.
It would be good if the country and the lords put their eyes on it.
"Um, yeah.
For now, people with high prices should be careful.
"Yes, I understand.
Takeo snorted.
