36 Episode 26: Slave Corps and Party Organization

"Then it's melee combat and practice first. Tell me if you have a weapon you'd like to try. I'll let you use it if you have it."

That said, Claude raised his hand.

"I'd like to use my sword."

Continue the conversation with a little light. Fear of me seems pretty thin, and on the surface it has the same attitude as the first.

"Actually, I, I admired the adventurer, and one day I wanted to fight demons with my sword in my hand. Well, I gave up when I became a slave..."

Surely it would be hard to be an adventurer after being a slave. Sometimes if a man who can fight has become a slave, there will only be about one insane master here who will train slaves who have never bothered to fight.

Nevertheless, 'I admire the adventurer' …. I hope you don't have a disproportionate sense of justice, like Yurika. Do you want to hear it just in case?

"Claude, for example…"

I talked about the Torte Forest anomaly and the village chief's request. And finally, "What would you do?" I hear. Claude thought about it for a while before speaking out.

"... right. I would refuse that request once."

"Why?

"Because the terms of the request are too uncertain. At least not until you boil down two conditions of reward, success. Details have been omitted, so I can't say for sure, but I'm going to consult around it with you and take it if there's no problem. Even though we have some time, if we delay in identifying the cause of the anomaly, the damage is so much more likely…"

Yeah. I guess I scored 100 out of 100. I was thinking of doing the same. Yurika smashed it up......

"Was this a good idea?

She asks a little anxiously.

"Oh, it wasn't a problem. Good answer. By the way, what if I was there and you told me not to take the request?

"Huh? Of course I refuse your request. I can't ignore your husband's opinion."

It was a quick answer. Yeah, I don't think this is gonna be like Yurika. I guess the provisional leader of the lower organization is Claude.

"And yes. You were talking about weapons. Use this."

That's what I said, out of the item box, I took the "One Hand Iron Sword" and gave it to Claude. Then give him just a little swordsmanship skills. Earlier, I handed it over to basic skills such as physical strengthening. Martial arts skills are to be given in conjunction with weapons.

"Ko, can I use something so good!?

"Oh, because there's no one using it right now. He's the one who says make the most of it."

"Oh, thank you"

It's me and Maria who use the sword (Selah is the Great Sword), I'm Frozen Micah, Maria plans to use the Treasure Sword/Evergrande Darkness, so there's nothing wrong with giving her a "one hand iron sword".

We also gave weapons to the other slaves. I put out a table, put a weapon on top of it, and let them choose from it. If the weapons obtained by the bandits in Ajito were combined, there would be quite a few different types of weapons, so I think the whole request could have been fulfilled. I guess the variant is Julia's whip. Royalty plays too much of a whip or hamari. Oh, it's a spare for Mio. I secretly bought it. However, Munch is giving him a dagger as a subwepon because he doesn't have the skills.

For once, I plan to give magic as well, but at first I'm deciding to make him remember it from a flesh-bomb battle. Ranged warfare operations are not too late after that.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much protective equipment for the kids, so I split a certain one well and handed it out. We have to meet in the next city.

Well, we're ready for battle.

"Then you're next for dinner!

You can't fight when you're hungry.

Claude is a pocan. The other newcomer slaves have the same look. I'm asking the original members to prepare themselves for the conversation. Mio, Maria and Serra are letting them cook in the 'room' kitchen from the middle of choosing a weapon.

"Aren't we going to fight now? I also chose a weapon..."

"No, I'm going to feed you guys first. Take a short meal break afterwards, then do the practice"

"Ha ha..."

When I heard it was a meal, it didn't seem to pin. You don't look like you're doing anything.

Mios came from the carriage. I have dishes on my hands. I'll get rid of the weapons that were on the table.

"You're welcome. Mio, it's a special Napolitan!

I can serve it out of the < infinite storage (inventory) >, but I also don't like to run out of spare dishes every time I add slaves, so I placed an order saying it was easy to make and tasty stuff. The pasta system is relatively easy to prepare. Mio said, when you live alone and you don't have time, pasta, let's not. Looks like there's a culture of pasta in this world, too. That's just what I don't seem to call a Napolitan......

Almost all the slaves are children, so you can take it. Well, that's it. A candy and a munchkin candy.

Mio and Serra place a plate on the table with a large quantity of Neapolitan. The smell of tomato ketchup drifts around.

-Goo.

Adele, Knott, Coco, Sicily, Lolo's belly rings. Of course, I searched.

"It would have been somewhat better because I fed it a little, but still it would have been about as negative as 0. It's a corner, so you should eat up to a full belly."

When I said that, Sakura, Dora, Mio and Sella handed out small plates and forks. Maria hasn't come here because she's preparing for dessert.

"Yes, okay? We are slaves..."

"Never mind. He called it a forward investment. Instead, I'm gonna get you to work hard, okay?

"Yes!

Slaves who look so happy. Well, given the returns, it's a much cheaper upfront investment. Tasty rice is a special weapon against slaves.

"It's our rule to say 'I'll have it' before you eat it and 'Welcome' after you eat it. You can eat from the guy I told you about."

"" "" "" "" I'll have it "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""

That's what everyone said where my line ends or not. Slaves moving from large plates to small plates and eating with great momentum. Oh, Dora and Sella are looking a little envious.

"If you want to eat so much, you can mix it up, right?

No, I'm going to give it to those kids. Even if I (I) go in a different position, it just floats... "

"If Dora eats, I feel sorry for everyone."

Looks like we're both concerned. Then I want to tell you to stop that face. You can ask Mio later if you want to eat. I mean, Serra was watching me make it, so can you make it?

The Neapolitans are gone sooner than I thought. Looks like energy balls (pretty light) weren't enough after all. Huh? Then you said you should have increased the amount of nutrients in your energy ball from the start? At that point, I didn't decide how to handle it, so I kept it on a first-aid level.

Looks like Maria's dessert somehow made it. You're a fruit sorbet today. It's easy to make it because it's magical and it doesn't matter (I didn't say I could do it either).

"Thank you for waiting"

Maria lowered the large plate that was emptied and placed a small plate of sorbet instead.

The slaves who saw it look half happy and half confused.

"Are you sure? We haven't done anything yet, have we? It might not help, huh?

Coco says in an uneasy voice.

If it's useless in battle, you can turn it into a person in charge of a useful area. Few guys think I'm really incompetent and I can't do anything. One of the theories is that even if you are good at something, you just haven't come across it. If you use my powers and look for them in a triand-error, you'll hit your specialty one day.

"Are you willing to work?

"Of course it is."

Other slaves nod.

"Then that's all I need now. We're going to be fighting soon anyway. You can talk about details later. Eat more quickly than that or you'll melt. If you don't want it, I'll eat it, okay?

"I'll eat, I'll eat."

Slaves rushing to take a sorbet. Eat with a happy face. When I urge everyone to finish eating, get them all together...

"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""

Much has come back to life in the eyes of the slaves. Most people are in a better mood if they get hungry. The effect would be even better if the people who had trouble eating it.

Then for a while I decided to call it a meal break and let it chat and deepen my rapport.

Now we're done with the candy and munchies. It's time for work from here.

"Well, it's time for the rest of the meal. We're going into combat training."

"" "" "" "" "" "Yes!

"Let's start by splitting it into groups of four, because there are just too many of them as one party. Try not to wear weapons and place them as balanced as you can."

I would be an amateur when it comes to combat, so I make a foursome party by weapon.

1st Party

-Claude: Sword + Shield

- Adele: Spear

- Coco: 2 x Daggers

-Loro: The Great Sword

2nd Party

-Iris: Sword + Shield

- Sicily: Spear

-Not: Hammer

- Yulia: Whip + Dagger

Since we would share in the two parties for combat training, non-newcomers also decided to split into two hands. Me, Serra and Dora will be in charge of the first party, and Maria, Mio and Sakura will be in charge of the second party. Separated me from Maria in terms of mentoring ability, split Sakura and Dora in terms of her experience of killing people, and made adjustments at an average age.

Since we are not going to talk about the bond of contract (Engagement Link), we plan to set up a rendezvous point in front of the bandit Azito and continue combat training all day. Low-ranked demons such as Goblin let the four of us fight, and decided that we would fight if an opponent came out of hand or got pinched. I feel a little warm, but I'm not going to use it. I want to make some room at first.

For a little while, he taught me how to handle weapons and the basics of combat before splitting them into two parties for a real fight. At first, one goblin was used as an octopus beating by four opponents. Like Maria, Mio and Serra, it seems they were able to take the demon's life with little resistance. I asked Maria, but she was in the same condition over there.

There was no 'I can't fight', which was also one of my concerns, so I'm going to put him in charge of the fight for the moment. Of course, I'm just saying that if I can fight, I've never crossed that, so if I'm ever more suited, I'm going to make that one a priority. Personally, I want Dwarf's knot to be a blacksmith. He has also chosen a hammer for his weapon, so I don't know if it's a good idea.

I kept fighting for a while. Suppose we return to the rendezvous point before sundown?

"For now, that's it for today. We're going back to camp."

"" "" Yes ""

Back in the camp, Maria's group was back first to prepare dinner. As a result of the discussions and decisions made by the slaves, the new slaves were also asked to help cook. That said, I'm still just helping out, and I'm not planning on giving you the skills...

There was some Gotagota, but no one sustained major injuries, and a day of combat training was completed. In one day today, the slaves are also getting to a level where they can manage to fight. Tomorrow I'm going to continue my combat training while I travel to Atarime. I can't get into the carriage, so I'm going to ask the rookie slaves to stay in the room as well.

Stew and bread simmered in a large pot for dinner today. Mio said that when it comes to serving this number of dishes, it doesn't take much effort. Looks like it's going to be the type of dish you can make in bulk. Well, you don't have a choice.

"Sir, can we help your husband?

During the meal, Claude, who was nearby, whines with no confidence.

"What do you mean?

"Yes, your husband is much stronger than we are, isn't he?

"Well, yeah."

Even in today's combat training, I decided to show my fight once. It felt like the new slaves said their open mouths wouldn't block.... Honestly, I'm a little on track.

"Your husband is so strong, he doesn't know what it means to let us fight. I don't know if there's any intention, but are we able to act as we intended..."

So you're anxious to keep fighting without knowing your intentions. Well, it's not even a troublesome story to ask, so let me tell you something.

"I'm trying to get you guys to act differently from us."

"Wow, we, are you getting dumped!?

Coco makes a sad cry. Maybe it's important (oh and) for a dog-shaped beast to be dumped by his husband.

A: It's important (oh and).

Oh, guys.

"No, no, not throwing it away, it's just another act"

"What do you mean?

"One of the powers I'm still keeping to myself is the thing that will only benefit me if I defeat the demons. That's for my slaves, too, so I wanted to create a party to take down demons, acting apart from us. It's inefficient when it's the same party."

"Is that us... So can you tell us what our plans are for the future?

Don't come too far. No, it's about my future, so you're not wrong to ask firmly.

The other newcomer slaves are coming together. I knew it seemed to bother me.

"Yeah, I'm gonna get you guys to sign up for adventurers first."

"Can you be an adventurer!?

Claude looks happy and raises his voice.

"And they'll act separately from us to increase the rank of adventurers, or take requests from crusaders."

"Why do you include 'Increase Adventurer Rank' among your purposes?

Coco says strangely.

"There are two reasons for that, one because you have more chances to fight demons that are strong enough to increase your Adventurer rank. Because the power I just said is more effective when you defeat a strong opponent. The other is that you want to use your character as an adventurer."

"What does that mean?

"I will continue to increase slavery. And you will have yourselves thrown into battle as well. If you had a senior high rank adventurer, it would make it easier for the newcomers to grow up, and if you found out there was a high rank in the buck, you'd lose an extra little bit."

Claude conceived.

"Two, may I ask you something?

"What?

"First of all, is that an order to make a clan?

"Simply put, don't do that."

Clan. It's one way to have a group of adventurers, a larger group than a party. Sometimes they say guild in games and stuff, but they call it this because they also wear the name Adventurer Guild. You could call it a faction, or you could call it an army. Apart from the Adventurer rank, the clan itself has a rank, but let's skip the details.

Simply put, we want to create a clan where 'being my slave' is one of the conditions for joining and where we can crusade demons and train newcomers.

"Have them build a clan, educate new slaves there, and expand their fighting power. That's the basic job."

"Okay. I think the general plan caught it."

After all, the leader wants to leave it to him.

"I think clan leaders like Claude...... Do the other newcomers have an opinion? Don't hesitate."

I'll talk to the other slaves. You can decide on my one, but I'm not actually the one running the clan, so I want you to throw away weird lumps and stuff.

"I think Claude would be fine"

"I'm thinking number one, and I think it's appropriate"

"Claude would be relieved. Even the bandits in Asia encouraged us to be critical."

There were no objections. Claude, you're trusted.

"How's Claude?

"Okay. Wonder, this Claude, let me take the lead with all my might."

A round of applause arises from the new slaves.

"That said, honestly, I have some anxiety that the members are just kids. Adventurers, experienced advisors, even slaves need to be convenient."

"You're a slave there too..."

Sakura came into the conversation as well.

"Slaves are the easiest to use. I had no choice in Eldia, but that's what made it taste like..."

"Well, all the kids so far have been good kids, and you may not inadvertently choose high-risk options..."

"That sort of thing. We're too powerful to tell anyone we're not tied up."

If you're a slave or an obedient, you can tie up quite a bit of behavior with the Slave Print, so you hardly have to worry about being compromised.

Then why did you threaten me? To clarify the relationship between the top and bottom.

Then why did you threaten Mio? Hobbies.

"I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of a conversation. May I ask you a second question?

"Oh, what?

"I'm also involved in the Clan Leader thing, why are you letting us do that? I hope your husband plays clan leader and your husband raises the adventurer rank......"

"We're not going to raise the Adventurer Rank. Stop at C-rank and avoid mandatory or nomination requests. I don't know how to say this, but I'll leave the trouble to the clan you guys make, and we want to take a casual trip. So I'm going to build a base in some city, and I'm going to have you guys live there."

"Well, is that to tell us to be above the B-rank? Whatever power it takes to get there..."

"I can. By my power, if you defeat the demons, you will be strong for that matter. We're still weak now, but we should be able to get as much power as we can to be B-rank, no, S-Rank, not far away."

"Ugh, that would be a lie..."

Most rookie slaves, including Claude, seem incredible. The members so far have a convincing look that that is how much they will be able to do. Even at the moment, I think I, Maria, and Sella have S-rank equivalents. Of course, it is the Seldik standard......

"Are you saying you doubt Jen's story? You're the one who gives dying slaves the power to fight demons. There will be no such thing as that."

Maria's faith was demonstrated.

"Yes, no, Senior Maria. I didn't mean to..."

"So what are you going to do? In response to Jen's words, what is' must be a lie '?

"And it was a silence. Sorry......"

"Master Jen, excuse me from the side"

That's when Maria pulls herself out. Newbie slaves, including Claude, are shaking a little. Unlike my skills, I didn't use it either, but this effect. After all, the scariest part is fanaticism (other HR).

"Well, I'm not lying that I said I'd make it S-rank. Of course, it takes a lot of effort, but if the effort doesn't betray people, we can make it."

Well, it takes more than effort to boost...

"I see what we're asking for. It means enhancing your husband's combat power, while at the same time supporting him to travel freely, right?

"Oh, no problem with that perception. So, are we done with the questions?

"Yes, we will try to meet your husband's expectations"

Looks like the new slaves convinced me too.

"Oh, and if there's anything else you want to do besides adventurers, I'll be in for a consultation. Sometimes I say no if it's too far removed from my purpose."

"Oh, if that's the case, I, the blacksmith, want to do it."

Without hesitation, Knott (Dwarf) raises his hand.... No, I said I wanted him to do a blacksmith because he's a dwarf, or he's hammering his weapon, but he said he recovers the voltage line fast...

"Then I don't mind. I'm just gonna have an adventurer for a while. I can't do this until I've decided where to base myself..."

"That's not that much of a problem. It's not Claude, but it was my dream to be a blacksmith, too. As you know, there's also the Dwarf pedigree... But when you become a slave, you give up most of your dreams... It's a lot better when you have a chance."

"Okay. Please say hello then."

Copy that, sir.

Knott replies well. A blacksmith would definitely help me. Besides, I think there is a fantasy being called a Dwarf blacksmith.

"Oh, you know, I understand the policy, but still, I want you to take me with you, too"

"Ah, so is Lolo. I want to be near your husband."

I hoped that Coco and Rollo would follow me.

"Why is that?

"I miss you! You're going on your husband's journey while we're at the base, right? I hate it when I rarely see you!

Coco will do everything in his power to claim it.

"Lolo too!

Lolo seems to have the same reason.

"I'm going on a journey, but I'm going to see how you guys are all the time."

"Uh, how? You're going on a journey, right?

"There you go, with our secret power..."

"The power of secrets is too universal!

Well, that's right.

"Anyway, that's not a problem. And do you miss me? No, they missed me."

"Well, I've been running a hell of a lot more than that."

"Look, even on my lap. Come on."

"Come on, don't treat me like a child!

Oh, Dora sat on her lap while Coco was shy.

"Ah..."

Oh, Mio's leaning against the other knee.

"No!"

"Mindless......"

That makes it quick. Sit on my lap. Mio roars with regret.

"Your husband isn't in favor of the Lolo's following... I get it. Lolo will be waiting for you at the base."

When I squealed like that, Lolo wasn't on his lap, he came straight next to me sitting and snuggling his body. I saw it. Mio sits on the other side, and he snuggles his body in the same way.

I was to be surrounded by young girls and girls. Hot.

By the way, Claude and Knott were laughing bitterly when they saw it. Even more irrelevant, the sorbet that came out at dinner was melting at some point.
