Atal was surprised to see what Geel had in his hand when he came back to the room with his eyes wide open. He brought it because it was a bag swollen in bread like he was finally lifting it with both hands.
"Ugh, uh... sorry to keep you waiting"
Geel, who carried him out of breath, put the bag on the table. I can see that it contains a considerable amount of money from the sound of charin and coins along with the heavy-duty sound.
"Go ahead, it'll be heavy to carry with you, so we've also got a bag so you can carry it, so go ahead, too."
Geel puts the bag he was carrying on his back on the table. That was a regular backpack-shaped bag.
"This much?
As prompted, Ataru peered into the bag placed and was surprised again. Inside it is filled with gold glowing coins all the time wondering if this is still the case.
"Um, I think this is enough for the moment, right?
I couldn't see the way you thought I'd react. Is Grayne maybe not enough? But that's what I said. It was his face.
"Ju, enough! Or you can't just get this much money to the extent that you defeated a few demons!
Perhaps with this much money enough to build a fortune, Atar pulls out only a few coins in the bag and tries to poke the bag back.
"Please wait"
But it was stopped by Geel. Looking up at his face following the hand he had been offered all the time, he had changed from a calm normal look to a calm eye. But at the next moment Geel smiles and asks questions.
"Dear Atal, you rode on your front from where you helped us to the city. What were they doing then?
"What? Master Atal, did they do something to you?
Arshna, who thought she was calm without anything on the road, wondered what Geir was talking about.
"Uh, was that all over it? I was silencing him, and I figured you wouldn't know because I knocked the one far away."
I didn't think he'd been noticed for not saying anything. Atal was scratching his head at the awkwardness.
"Yeah, I was your man. Because you could see a demonic corpse next to the street even though the shadow you saw up ahead suddenly collapsed or nobody looked like you were fighting. I didn't know everything, but I think it's gonna be quite a few."
Atal has an even more awkward look because of what he hid. It would also be a factor that Geel was completely alarmed by the fact that he didn't say anything until he got to the city.
"Lying, I didn't notice at all..."
"Uhm, if that's all you've done, this reward is reasonable too. Take it."
Grain pushed the bag back in front of his claws again, hoping he would take it even more if he wasn't the kind of person to push and sell gratitude.
"... ha, okay. I'll make sure you appreciate this as a reward. That would be more convenient for you, wouldn't it?
I had the honour of having to have some amount of money available for the lord's daughter to help herself, albeit not publicly. It would surely have been on the Lord's side who could have been helped to have trouble if the story of not receiving it here had leaked from somewhere.
"I think you understand. It's very helpful."
Grain was smiling at what Atal replied after swallowing all sorts of things.
"What? What?
Arshna, who can only watch a series of interactions grate, was a lady as picturesque as she was of worldly ignorance, and she didn't seem to know what the interaction meant between Grayne and Atal.
"You don't have to know, I'm going to get this reward. You guys were helpful, Grain expressed his gratitude in a way. Well, that's the thing."
It was Arshna looking like she still didn't know, but she was satisfied that Atal eventually received the reward her father had prepared. I sincerely wish I could repay you a little.
"In the meantime, I told you to pack this money in that bag... I'd like to ask you a few questions, but I'm not from around here. I've come a long way and I'm not familiar with anything around here. That's the location of the city and the underlying culture."
I take the money first, and when I sit back, I hang on to the consultation again. It was a matter of death and death for him without the common sense of this world while the money was also stolen.
"Then I will teach you!
Intentional Arshna makes a clench and stands up that she was able to help, but Atal gently shakes her neck to the side.
"Even if you tell me here, that will only be limited... and more importantly, I'd prefer the one with a little more general information"
"Hmm, was there someone good?
Grayne urges him to go ahead and say that he has an idea because it is not the way his daughter has no upbringing.
"... Um, so why don't they buy slaves?
I've been gently advising you. That was Geel's word.
"Slave?"
From a Japanese-born atal, I didn't get a good impression of the word. As a result, it has a surprising look. No matter how much trouble I had, I felt strongly resistant when I became a slave.
"Yeah, wasn't there a slave in the place where Master Atal was born and raised?
Geel returns the question unexpectedly after seeing the reaction of such an atar. The system of slavery seemed more common in this world than Atal thought.
"You weren't the country you were born and raised in, I've heard stories about being in other countries..."
"Really? Let's talk a little bit about slavery around here."
Geel started explaining whether he cared about the hard looking Atal.
"Slaves in this country can only be handled by slave traders recognised as jobs. Therefore, slaves are rarely treated badly. At the same time, slave traders will plant minimal reading, writing, etc., so a solid slave will be sold as a commodity, though it may be a bad way to put it. Roles vary, such as combat slavery, domestic slavery, artisan slavery, etc."
Geel's description was intriguing, as there was an image of Atal being treated badly. When I was listening, I got the impression that it was like a temporary employee.
"Can I even buy that slave?
"Of course it is. As long as you pay the fee, there's no problem. Essentially, slaves are engraved so that they cannot defy their owners. Instead, however, the owner is obliged to provide clothing to the slave. Sometimes the owner will be punished if he acts badly against the slave."
Geel told us without hiding the rules in owning a slave that he wished the impression of Atal had changed at all.
"Then there's no problem... there's also money. Yeah, then maybe there's slavery."
Atal was getting carried away with the image of the slave he had at first.
"Um, then, Geel, as I lead Lord Atal to the slave traders tomorrow. Let's have you stay at our place today. Come on, it's the banquet."
"Yes, sir."
When Geir greets him with respect, he leaves the room and runs to arrange a treat to prepare the room where Atal stays and make it a feast at night.
"No, that's all I get paid to stay,"
"Lord Atal, this is gratitude. I'd love for you to stay."
I decide to break my atar on the grain I say while sending a strong gaze like I'm not pulling here. Since he came without securing the inn, it was decided whether it would be better to leave the courtesy unchanged.
"Oh, then, please. In the meantime, I'd like to lay down a little till dinner and rest..."
Hear Atal's reply No, Grain slaps his hand big twice or so, and calls a maid who was nearby to show him to the room.
Dinner on this day was lined up with all the treats that were not usually seen, as Grayne put it.
Tomorrow I'm headed to the slave trader, which means I didn't quite sleep Atal immersed in a lot of thoughts, but before nightfall I was naturally asleep.
