But but maybe this time it was actually an honest deal with no trickster strings attached? It would be strange to sell someone so beautiful as Roxanne without having some hidden agenda, but maybe thats just my damaged mentality speaking again?

So, why is her being a Beastman so important? Because you seem to be making a great deal out of it.

Are you familiar with the saying that elves are the number one non-human race when it comes to their lifespan and longevity?

Well, yeah.

I mean, isnt it common knowledge that elves tend to live much longer than humans? Or could it be that this is another thing thats different in this world?

Then allow me to break it to you: that is just an urban legend.

Oh really now? Thats interesting.

Elves are said to be the longest living race because they stay young-looking for the longest. In actuality, the lifespan of Elves and Beastman are about the same.

Is that so? I have to admit, I didnt know that.

The eleven woman I ogled back at the street shops was supposedly 37 years old when I Identified her, but she looked like she was in her early twenties at worst. But I have to say, when it comes to looks as a whole, Roxanne was even prettier than that elf lady. And her boobs are definitely bigger.

Thats understandable, so dont worry about it all that much, Michio-sama. We humans and non-humans have different points of aging and ways in which we perceive the passage of time. To illustrate it with an example, I think youll agree that for us humans there is little difference between a two years old dog and the one that is eight years old, right?

Now that you mention it, I guess youre right. I never given it much thought myself.

When it comes to Beastman, at the age of 16 or 17 they are no different than us humans, but the older they get, the difference becomes more apparent. Typically, we humans start to show visible signs of aging around 40 to 50 years of age, but when Beastman hit that same mark, they still look as young as they were in their teenage years, so from the perspective of our limited lifespans, the Beastman might as well stay beautiful forever.

Ahh, I see.

Roxanne is one year younger than me and shes already so beautiful that it was unbelievable. So you want to say that even when she reaches her forties and fifties her looks wont change much from how shes looking now?

In addition to that, there is one more very important factor that sets the Beastman aside from other races, a factor that is held in very high regard by all of the customers.

I guess so.

To be honest, learning that was kind of a relief for me. In this world, just like in my previous one, buying yourself a young female slave seems to have only one purpose, and everybody realizes that, so presumably I wont be the first one to commit such a (morally) dastardly deed and I sure as hell wont be the last one.

But I have to say, Michio-sama, I am glad that you decided to pay a visit to my establishment on a fine day such as this one.

Why is that?

After spending as many years in the business as I did I can proudly say that I have a keen eye for judging the customers who walk through the door of my shop, and it saddens me to say that even if many of them do want to buy themselves a female slave, many of them wont even lay a finger on them due to their moral compass telling them that it is wrong. To be totally blunt, those are the kind of customers I dislike the most. The way I see it, any kind of purchase, be it a slave or something as simple as a grocery shopping, needs to be done with a leveled head and hefty amount of consideration. You know what they say: haste makes waste, right? And I think we can both agree that wasting money on something you wont really need is the ultimate waste.

So people like that are present in this world as well, huh? Lovely. If theres one kind of person I hate more than bullies and those who wronged me for no apparent reason, it would have to be assholes with loads of money who always buy everything in sight, only to throw it away after realizing that they dont really need it. Thankfully, I can say with certainty that I wouldnt treat Roxanne in such a way.

Well, I guess thats right.

So why do purchases like that keep happening, you ask? Well If you asked me for my opinion, I would have to say that the reason for things being the way they are is simple: inexperience, both at the side of the customer who walks in here without knowing what is he getting himself into and at the side of the female slaves who are not taught proper sexual education. Thankfully, I can proudly say that Roxanne is not someone like that. She received all the necessary education needed to be proper companion for any aspiring Adventurer, so you can rest assured that she will never be a burden to you.

I see.

And lastly, as an added bonus, she is able to speak Brahim fluently.

Oh yeah, youre right!

Back when she gave me the cup with the drink I was able to understand every word she was saying, so I guess it makes sense for her to know Brahim, which must be the name for this worlds version of the Japanese language, but I guess I was just too engrossed with the bouncy swaying of her tits to notice that. And honestly, can you blame me?! It was totally amazing! I would love to see it again if I had the chance.

And that concludes my speech on why I would highly recommend buying my dear Roxanne.

Great, looks like his sales pitch is finally over.

Roxanne.

There is no doubt that shes the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life (not that I saw many of them to begin with). Her eyes were so bright and dazzling that just one look was enough for me to feel like I was being swallowed in by them.

Can I really buy someone like her? I bent over my cup to give it one last brainstorming session with a heavy chest. Is that what the weight of freedom and responsibility feels like?
