I sat on the sofa and drank the herbal tea that was brought to me by a female servant who was not Roxanne.
Please enjoy your drink, dear customer.
When she left, the Slave Merchant urged me to drink. So I placed the cup at my mouth and pretended to drink the tea. If he wanted to take me out and take my money, the fastest way to do so would be to slip some poison into my drink, so in order to prevent that Im just not going to drink any of it. I took the backpack off my back and removed the drawstring bag from it. I removed all of my silver coins from it first. All 228 of them.
I hope you dont mind so many silver coins?
Of course not. Such an amount was well within my range of expectations.
Then I also took out the 40 gold coins.
This should be enough, right?
That is all the money that I so desperately collected. I dont know what Ill do if it still ends up not being enough.
Most certainly, thats all the money we agreed upon. Dear Roxanne will be here in just a moment, so please wait patiently for her, alright?
After diligently checking the number of coins, the Slave Merchant placed them all on a table in neatly arranged piles and had another servant take them away. Im actually impressed that he managed to count all of them up so fast and that he remained so calm and collected, because what I did was essentially pulling an equivalent of paying a multi-yen bill with 5-yen coins. Worst case scenario, you could even get sued for harassment. While we waited for Roxanne to arrive, I continued to fake-drink my herbal tea.
And then she finally came.
We heard a quiet knocking on the door, so Alan the Slave Merchant stood up to open them for her. She was wearing a simple yellow tunic and the pants of a matching color. She entered the room and timidly hid behind the Slave Merchant. Aww, that s so cute, but its alright. Im not going to do anything to you, so theres no need for you to hide. Then she stretched her neck and looked at me shyly from behind Alan-sans back. Ahh, her face is still beautiful. She is a beautiful girl through and through! I was afraid that the last time I saw her I might have beautified her in my mind due to how horny I was, but thankfully that was not the case at all! If anything, the real thing was even more beautiful than I remembered!
Im sorry for making you wait. Thank you for purchasing me. I will be in your care from now on.
Roxanne looks at me, but when our eyes met, she immediately averted them back. Her dog ears also shook due to the motion she did with her head. Those ears are so uber cute! I want to touch them! I want to pet them! She could be a little less shy, but I guess there will come a time for us to work on that. I also dont think I did anything she should be thanking me for, but then again, that might be just common courtesy, so it would be best to respond to her in kind.
Likewise. I hope we will get along together just fine. Ill be looking forward to it.
Owned by: Kaga Michio
I see. And with that, the master-slave pack between you has been officially made.
Roxannes Intelligence Card now lists me as her owner. So I guess the Slave Merchant wasnt a scammer after all. But I dont regret being distrustful of him. One cannot be too cautious when it comes to the well being of his money after all.
Anyway, since all the formalities have now been completed, I made the best smile I could muster and showed her my own Card.
Uhm, are you really sure about that?
Roxannes beautiful eyes peeked at me when she asked me if I was fine with her inspecting my Intelligence Card.
If its you, then I have no problems with it being seen.
!!! . Yes!
And she took it in her small, gentle hands. When I l glanced at it as she did so, I noticed that it has been rewritten indeed. The contents were now as follows:
Kaga Michio: Male, 17 years old
Job: Explorer, Free Citizen
Owner of: Roxanne
The Job that was displayed as my first one was still the Explorer. But now, it also listed that I am Roxannes owner.
I cant wait to see what life in this new strange world is going to have in store for us from now on.
