"No, I made a fortune!" I can't believe two Special Ability people mixed up! "
It's not as good as the boulders, but at least there's more good eyeballs to open the market.
The vulgar laughter that left the roaring and pleasant sound intact echoed.
They're in a good mood right now, with the restocking of goods in the lower echelons of the Kingdom of Freesia well underway. As the largest producer of slaves, Rajya began to seek the supply of goods, especially in the Kingdom of Freesia, there was a high demand for goods. The Freesia Kingdom was destroyed by a simultaneous explosion of human trafficking organizations and markets in Japan about a year ago, but that is why the scarcity and value of the market have increased.
And for the newly launched [market], for which the memorial was fulfilled, they were also doing their best to play a role.
Once the market opens, people in the Kingdom of Freesia will undoubtedly be a prominent product. For this reason, it is indispensable to replenish products at lower levels.
If you open the market, you will certainly be invited to the Rajya Empire as a major slave nation. You may buy the whole market without paying attention to the money.
For this reason, even if they were just intermediate Freesians without any special abilities, the number of products was essential at first. You can't open a market without numbers.
If we could hunt people and sell them directly, it didn't matter how many. However, we are only on the side of unloading our goods. It is difficult for them to sell goods directly, rather than making money without a market.
We will spare no effort to reopen the market, but we are not the ones to sell it directly to slave-hosting countries, including Radhiya.
Unlike them, who buy and sell slaves according to the law with dignity in their country, they are in business. It breaks the laws of the Kingdom of Freesia to make slaves, and it is a forced commodity to seize ordinary people who deserve to be illegal in a slave-hosting country.
If you are not a criminal slave like the official slave-producing or receiving country, you were not born as a slave from the beginning or as such a family. I didn't even buy it in exchange for money from a parent.
I just hunted it for no reason at no cost.
In the former Kingdom of Freesia, there were markets dotted around the country. The intermediary took a man into slavery in exchange for money, but not now. Even the deep markets, known only to the big behind-the-scenes, could not escape the sweeping waves from the Knights.
For them, the revival of the market is a lifeline in itself.
Some kingdom aristocrats do not buy from their own behind-the-scenes businesses, while others, when they learn that it is behind-the-scenes businesses that sell them, hunt down all their products without having to work behind-the-scenes.
That's why now, instead of acting as an intermediary, it was necessary to sell it to a slave-hosting country that would sell it directly to the Rajya Empire.
There is nothing wrong with selling goods to slave-hosting countries. Even if it is a human from the Kingdom of Freesia, which is not a slave country, the hunters are not the ones who line up the merchandise. If a dealer in a slave-hosting country sells it, it's a [genuine product] named after a Freesian.
It is not mandatory for a merchant to go out of their way to check the source and determine whether the product has become a legitimate product.
If a human from the Kingdom of Freesia comes to a slave-hosting country and is turned into a commodity by regular means, it is a regular commodity, whether he is a [Freesian] or not.
If they were bought and sold on the illegal market in the Kingdom of Freesia and sent abroad, whether they were Freesi or foreign immigrants, they could be illegal traffickers.
How to distinguish it is equivalent to indifference. Once put on the slave market, if someone buys there, the goods will only be official slaves at that time.
Backhunting gathers people, and now that there is no intermediary in Japan, it is sold at a high price to a slavery-hosting country vendor, who opens a "market" and sells it as a genuine product to the great power Rajya Empire, which is pressing for the supply of goods at a higher price.
Because of its ideal flow, the market is an important means for backstage traffickers. If we're going to open up that market, they're going to hunt as many people as they want, regardless of their special abilities.
Neither shall the mourning of the innocent people, which shall be enslaved, reach unto them.
"Cefek... I wonder if Val's okay..."
"I don't know."
While listening to the laughter of the behind-the-scenes workers, the two exchanged in a hidden voice.
Cefek with his special abilities in water, and Chemeto with his special abilities in ability enhancement, are naturally crappy luxuries.
If it is a high-end item, it is not put together in a cage, and even more so, it is rarely easily disposed of even after being enslaved. As valuables, it is easy to receive treatment close to [creature].
If you possess special abilities, you should demonstrate their worth before you are enslaved.
However, they were packed with intermediate cages of Freesias who had no special abilities.
Kemet closed his mouth saying that he was incapable, and at the time of choosing [Promise] over his treatment, Sephek cried out in the same way. Two other people with special abilities were taken to another cage, but I don't envy them.
If Kemet wants to go to a safe cage a little bit, I thought I'd reveal his special abilities to the men here, but if he goes to intermediate, I'll go with him. I can't stand being apart from Kemet, whether it's advanced or extraordinary.
It's the only family I have.
"That's why I'm waiting here." You can't stay away from me. "
While saying that, Cefek put his strength into his arm, which clenched Kemet from his back.
Kemeto, who nods with a small head, grabs his tied hand and leans on his sister. There was no blanket, no sunlight in the cage, and only the temperature of each other was warm.
It was sudden.
It was time for Val to come back and prepare to burn down the feast he had been having for a long time.
I had no choice but to crush the rubble, but I don't know why. The two of them remembered until the moment they lost consciousness.
Val is back. I came when I thought I could take you with me, and he spoke up.
They were scared that Val would get caught with them, but they thought it would be more painful and scary if they were left alone and pretended not to see it.
I was scared just to be taken away, and I wanted to escape, but the moment I saw Val, I made so much noise that I didn't even know it. Even though Val is strong, he knows he can't beat more than one of them, but he can't help but be pushed by the presence he showed up ahead of his gaze.
I didn't expect you to help me, nor did I think I would manage. I just wanted to cry and shout. They weren't grown-up enough to say, "Run," right there.
The men beat me because they wanted it back, and I was told to give it back.
Chemet thinks he's still alive after being beaten, trampled, and slapped.
I think Cefek will be fooled by such a transparent exchange.
Unlike the seven-year-old Kemet, Sephek also knows the dirty world. It's not just about knocking down the weak and robbing them. Adults also tell convenient lies and deceive, and I don't think it's bad. So I don't think they'll let themselves or Kemet out of this cage, instead of saying that to the people who roared at them.
"Val... I wonder if I can get the five of us together..."
Puffy, puffy. Even if you know you can't finish where the stone is thrown if the sentinel asks, your mouth moves in front of your sister.
Even Kemeto noticed that his arms, which held him vigorously from time to time, were also shaking weakly. At the very least, if it was so loud as to be distracted by the children's crying in the corner of the cage, she spoke not to leave her sister alone at close range.
Cefek slightly raised his eyebrows to Chemet's words. Val himself has told us that he used to do bad things. I don't know if I can beat even five adults, but I don't think it's any wonder that we can catch five or ten weaker children now. Rather, if a man who was so scared and possessed special abilities, and had been able to do worse things in the past, as it should have been, did not even collect five exchanges.
"... that's why. That's why I'm telling you to wait here, too." They won't exchange it for us anyway. "
Evidence that Val wasn't stupid enough to be fooled, or that he was "abandoned".
Anyway, Val's got to be fooled. Even when they were caught, they were the idiots who stopped them directly in front of them and turned them back. Having lived with him for the past four years, Cefek is eleven years old and proud.
In fact, if Val wasn't so stupid, it would be impossible to collect hostage exchanges.
Val himself was involved in falling into such a trap when he was in the back office. From the moment that condition was imposed on him from the start, Val knows the deal is not going to work. But I still think my child Cefek will definitely be fooled by Val.... I think you'll fool me.
"If Val comes to our cage, we'll run away together."
"But Val is definitely more advanced..."
"Shh.... I know." That's why we're going to take them all down and check out the advanced and superior cages. "
Kemeto nods tinyly and repeatedly to his sister's words.
If we escape here on our own, we may go astray. There's no point in getting away with it if Val is the only one brought here afterwards.
I took the time to quiet down in the cage and then ran away after more than two days. Trapped in an intermediate cage wasn't meant to escape, but trapped together was a happy miscalculation for Cefek. As long as I had Kemeto's special ability, I could properly fight unstoppable.
She whispered in her most lurking voice, "If I were serious, it would be easy for these people." She energized Kemet. My brother still doesn't know that it's due to his special abilities.
"...... Cefek. Do you want Val to come?"
"...... He's coming. He's an idiot."
Cefek chews his lower lip small as he asks a pure question.
Although Kemet understood that the question he wanted to ask had not been answered, the answer was stubborn. She clutches Kemet like a stuffed animal and holds back a little tears.
I'm sure you'll want to take them back. Because we're special to Val.
He also gave me his name. He gave me an age. He helped me when I was in trouble. I don't care about my children or others, but they helped me. It is decided because it is special.
He made himself more special than anyone else, so he and Kemet loved Val. You're so cold, so scary, so bad in character, you've done a lot of terrible things in the past, and you don't have a crush on anyone, but you're so kind to yourself and Kemet.... but I don't feel confident enough to put it into words yet.
The anxiety seems to be reflected in the trembling of the arm again, and this time, I threw it from Cefek to Chemt as if to deceive.
“Where's Kemet?” he peers into Kemet's face, which he misses much more than he does.
Kemeto mumbled for a few seconds if he returned the question as it was. Kemeto, who was raised by Cefek since he was three years old, still has a little difficulty making his feelings the right language. I definitely like Cefek and Val, and I think about Val the same way Cefek does. That's why.
"... come on, I don't want it."... I want your help, but I don't want Val to get hurt or hurt anymore... "
I'd be most happy if you could show up with dignity, take down all the bad guys in front of you, and pick me up. I'm so happy to cry.
But I don't want to see Val worn out like the last time he saw me. Even until now, whenever I thought Val was happy with what he did, it was [enough] for Chemet.
Even if we were together, Cefek wouldn't hit us, and it was enough to protect us from the stones that were thrown at us.
At first, it was enough to know the name of the man who was scared.
Just giving me a name and getting old was enough.
It was enough to call my name and help me when I was about to be robbed of my money in a world where only Cefek had no family and no allies.
It was enough for me to have dinner with me and not to be angry with me sitting next to me.
When we were caught selling human beings. Just jumping out of my mouth... that was enough.
And Chemtu sneakily thinks that only there is a slight difference between himself and Cefek. I really love Val, and that's why I think I've had enough of him to die like this. But I'm sure Cefek did.
Ah?... I'm not a family member anymore.
After that, Kemeto knew that his sister's expression was casting a shadow until the time when Val came back.
Val has never told me that we're family. Neither Cefek nor I have ever said that. Cefek and I are family, but Val is different. And Cefek is sure to miss it.
While understanding with the children, Kemet doesn't even know what to do with himself. I love Kemet, Val, and Cefek, but I don't know how to be or become a family member on the side where Cefek made me a family. In the end, as I always did, and as I told you before I was ready to grill the fish, the same words were the best I could do.
"I also love Cefek." And I love Val as much as Cefek. I don't want my beloved to get hurt. ”
"............ always just about Val"
Cephek is saved by the words of Kemet, who, while slightly sharpening his lips, speaks unto him as he should.
Even though I am supposed to be comforting myself as a sister, I feel that I am comforted by Kemeto if I notice it. Ehehe...... when I clasped back Kemet with a happy smile, now they clung to each other's cheeks.
I don't think Cefek wants Val to get hurt either. I don't want you to be a slave, and I don't want you to be caught.
However, there was still a strong feeling that "I don't want you to abandon me". Even if we come here to prove that we are that kind of person, I still want it.
He made us special. However, it is also true that I was originally annoyed. I was the one who went around unilaterally to protect Kemet.
Because he's such a bad personality, he may be laughing that he's clean now. I think that's because I know that Val is a terrible guy with a lot of bad personality and a lot of bad things. Even on the last day I saw you, you didn't even say a word about your family.
If this escapes with Kemet and Val is nowhere to be found. If Val hadn't been here when I got back to my inferior home.
I would never want to be dead. But I'm afraid I don't know if I'm alive or dead. Val's heart beats disgustingly when he thinks he's been caught by other traffickers.
If you're not there, you'll have to take Chemtu around the lower classes again. And if Val is alive and not captured, safe and properly found in the lower echelons, "There he is!" and when I rushed over with Chemeto.
If you are─disappointed.
Until now, I've only been able to escape many times and give up from the middle.
Whether I was hated or annoyed, I was fine at first. But now I have a little expectation somewhere.
I want Val, who made us special, to keep us special. No matter what anyone else says, I don't want Val and Kemet to look the other way. I think I'm afraid of being directed at the day.
It would be best if you broke a deal, realized you were fooled, and then ran away. Val can't be captured, he can be taken as a substitute hostage.
You don't have to want any more luxury for your family. Now, I just want to go back to that time again.
”... if Val gets caught, we can help you”
"Yes............. let's live together again."
Stick your cheeks together and hug each other. Kemeto rubbed his cheeks while gripping his arms back to Cefek, who wrapped himself in both arms.
I don't know if Val's coming. I hope they didn't kill me at least, and I hope I'm safe in my cage. It would also be nice if Val and the three of us could live together in peace and quiet with just one family.
I think [the two families] will be quiet if we don't forgive those who interfere with it, as well as those who have done terrible things to Val and his precious siblings.
I sincerely like Val, I want to be with him, and I don't want to hurt him. That alone is never different from each other.
However, while believing in the specialness from him, somewhere in your heart, the fear of [if not] is also breeding deep inside your chest with the cold cage and time.
I think that's possible because I understand Val.
"Val, tell me what you want from your heart."
They still don't know the firmness of a special [name] that doesn't even matter to him.
