"Shh, that's amazing"
Aig was going to stab the stomach with his magic, but was surprised that Atal had done it.
"He was trying to escape in that tornado. Maybe magic was enough, but just in case, I made another blow. Sorry about that."
Atal apologizes, wondering if he had done anything unsolicited, but Aig shook his head beside him with momentum.
"Yes, no, it's outrageous! I think you were right about that."
Apologized Aig was in opposite awe. Having seen the strength of Atal so far, Aig even thought he might have gotten in the way.
"Ugh... I knew it would be awesome"
Anzam, who had returned from a distance, also once again admired Atal and Caro's strength.
"You two were strong. So! If Anzam hadn't cracked his body, he might have struggled a little harder."
Both Anzam and Aig were bitterly smiling at Caro for not saying he couldn't win, even as he made a clench all the time and turned a dazzling smile on him. The two of them felt that the strength of these two was really beyond comparison.
"In the meantime, that's where the immediate problem is. Let's just leave them alone and let's just get moving. If the demons come back to the woods, they'll do what they do."
Leaving the dark merchants still falling, Atar proposes to leave. For him, the Dark Merchant only seemed like a man who didn't even have to lay his hands on himself.
"... no, I think I should definitely stay put here"
I told him quietly. That was Aig's word. He was staring at the dark merchants with a harsh look on his face. I guess there's something I think about being treated as a slave all the time.
"Uh, I think I'd better do that, too. It's not just adventurers like us these guys are dealing with, because it doesn't seem to matter if they're girls or kids."
Anzam told Aig to follow, saying that few were unhappy as a result. The expression is very hard.
"Hmm, then I should do something about it..."
Ataru, who drew their feelings, approaches to the bound Dark Merchant. And when I think I've narrowed my eyes, I tap him gently on the cheek to encourage him to awaken.
"... Won't you wake up? If so."
Turning numb at not returning the reaction I thought, Atal swung thoughtfully and strained the Dark Merchant's cheek.
Bassiness and loud noises echo around.
"Become, what the fuck!?
The dark merchant's cheeks, which woke up shaking his body all the time, were red and swollen, and he seemed to wake up with the pain. He looks around like he's in a hurry.
"You guys are doing a lot of bad things."
Ataru, gazing at the approaching with cancer, inquires of the dark merchant in a pale tone.
"Ko, what is this!?... Damn, you got caught!
"Fine, answer my question. I heard you're not only an adventurer, you're also extending your hands to women and children?
The Dark Merchant, who gradually began to grasp the situation, turns his gaze to Anzam, Aig. But all they did was stare hard at the Dark Merchant.
"Ha, you're already listening, aren't you? Then I can't help but hide it.... We handle everything we can. But that and this is because there is demand... not our fault!
Anzam and Aig have an angry look at the man who lightly reopened in a vicious manner. The fact that the two of them still hold their fists so as to suppress their desire to punch the dark merchant comes into the sight of Caro, who was on his side. Her expression distorts spicy as she understands how it feels to be treated as a slave.
"Hmm, you speak vegan that way. When I was talking in polite language, I felt like a stink explosion, but I felt better."
The Dark Merchant seemed confused because he pointed out that the fireflies he flushed as if he didn't care about the Dark Merchant story were out of sight.
"I feel unexpected about my reaction, but I thought you were doing that because you were suspicious from the start. So, I've been meaning to keep you guys tied up here and leave you to the demons back in the woods. But it's the first thing they want to do to make you go wild, so I was wondering what happened."
The Dark Merchant is bewildered by inquiries that seem to loose judgment on the Dark Merchant. I didn't understand why you asked that question.
"Well, you don't know how to answer for saying that... then let's make a choice. The first is for us to kill him in this place. The second is left like this. The third one... Anything?
Ataru, who was suggesting by counting the fingers, looks back in the third place and asks Anzam and Aig questions.
"Uh, no, I'm whatever these guys don't do wrong."
Anzam answers as he scratches his head with me without thinking about it.
"Same goes for me...... but I think they'll do the same thing again when they release"
Aig says with a harsh look that he doesn't want to make someone like himself.
"Hmm, sounds like the third proposal doesn't float.... Is Caro anything?
"Huh!? Wow, is that me? Hmm, right...... so can't you use the slave collar or something from earlier?
Though suddenly surprised to be told the story, Caro suggests so, recalling his experiences when he was a slave.
"Then I'll try. I don't want you to get hurt for nothing...... don't move"
Saying that he would not accept objections to the Dark Merchant, Aig puts on his neck the collar that had been put on him. Collar in a slightly distorted shape with a firefly bullet, but there was no obstacle for wrapping it up.
"Magic the broken part..."
And magically connect the parts destroyed by the Atal bullet. The broken collar regained its original shape when I wondered if there was a light in Aig's hand.
"Let's do contract magic once we've learned it..."
He used contract magic when contracting with the Spirit, but it seemed difficult to turn it into a slave contract. Still going into the magic chant that it would be worth a try.
"Stop wasting it. There's no way anyone but those who have officially learned can succeed."
Dark merchants will not resist until now because they think there is no way to succeed. Ignoring the words of the dark merchant laughing with his nose, Aig continues his magic.
"Sounds like it's gonna take a while, let's keep the carriage moving"
"I'll bring you."
It was the Ataru who watched it for a little while, but with his voice Caro headed to the carriage and began to move to follow it. Still, I won't take my eyes off the Aigs.
"Well, shall I give you a break? You must be tired, Anzam should rest a little."
"Oh, I'm tired too because I haven't really hit you in a long time"
Looking at the Aigs in the distance, the two take to a nearby tree and sit down.
"So... what's Anzam going to do now?
Anzam thinks in response to Atal's question about what they're going to do when they're freed from slavery. I guess it's not easy to think of it as just another dream of dreams such as being freed from slavery until now.
"Right...... I guess I'll do some adventurers in a nearby city for now. It's all I have."
Ni laughs and Anzam slaps himself in the arm.
"I see, it was the same party as Eig, wasn't it? Then why don't we do it together?
"Maybe that's not a bad idea either.... Well, it's up to him."
Anzam said so with a serene look on his chest with hope for the future as he watched Aig still continue his contract magic.
