"My lord. Marina can't have ...... experience as a knight, can she? What was that?

'Well, apparently she had a crush on knights in her own way, ....... That ...... is sort of an extension of playing knight, I guess.

　I see.
　...... is nothing like "I get it".
　I'm too old to know what she's doing.

　But, well, ...... is cute, so it's okay!


　Anyway, Marina decided to buy it. Technically, though, Mr. Efta is going to buy her.

　Marina is still working on a skit with Deanna, so I'll sign the paperwork first. The price is ...... 40 gold coins. In Japanese yen terms, it's 6 million yen. I don't know what the price is for a slave, but it's cheap .......
　Well, I guess it's cheap because the Turks seem to be unpopular and their vocation is a thing. I'll ask the other kids' prices for later study.

　After that, we made a slave contract between me and Marina under the hired elves of the slave trading house.

　Whether or not the equation of "Diana's master, where she is a princess = a being worthy of my master" was completed in Marina or not, the contract was completed normally and without delay.


　Get out the vocation board and check the contract.

　Okay, okay, ....... I don't see an annotation in the section "Marina shall not refuse Jiro's orders unless the orders are clearly life threatening.

　Huh?　What does that mean?　
　It means you're allowed to have Eros.　Yes!
　Whether or not I, as a child emperor, can give such an order, though!　Wow.


　As for Marina, she said that the merchant's service would dress her up to some extent and give her to me, so I had to wait in the first room.
　On the way to the room, I caught Deanna and asked her to get as many conveniences from Efta as possible so that I could get on well.


'By the way, Efta-san. What was the arrangement with the mayor after all?　I heard that you gained something from my win, and I'd like to know about it.

'Oh, the map. The mayor and I were betting on a map.

'What?　Is that a map?　Why would you do that?

They're maps. They're ancient, magical maps. I've been collecting them. I was negotiating with the mayor when I heard that he had a gift of something he had excavated at Mount Luclaela.

　Here it is, Mr. Efta shows us.
　A period parchment? The map is easily drawn on ....... It's like a touch screen, but you can switch between the information on the map by touching it. I couldn't read the text, so I asked Rebecca to read it to me.


'Let's see. ...... 'A group of goblins have been identified deep in the tunnels of Mt. Lucraella!　I want them dead ASAP!　To clear the game, you must defeat the Goblin Mother at the end of the tunnel. The reward for clearing the tunnel is 500G of red magic stones. What is this?

'It's said to be a work order, used by the ancient Hunters Guild, but I don't know the details. I have about eight other copies, and they generally contain similar details.

　It's a quest you can order from ...... guild, right? And the money is in G units. What is this different world? I wonder if the world used to have more of an RPG feel to it.


Mr. Efta. Don't you know when ancient times are roughly the same amount of goods?

They say it's from the age of spirit civilization. So that would be roughly ...... about a thousand years ago.

　Hmm.
　"Mirror of truth."

　Too stubborn: .......
　I'm not sure what kind of quest this is, but it changes into a reward after you complete it.
　I wonder if there's a goblin mother that's been waiting a thousand years to dry out deep in the tunnels. ......


Then it's a very old one. Is it expensive?　This,

'There are a rather small number of collectors, myself included, and there are only a few of them, so ......, I'd say at least 20 gold coins.

　20 of them, eh? That's a lot of money.
　But I'd like to see if I can get it and complete the quest eventually. If the quest is still alive, that is.
　Mr. Efta, have you ever tried it?


I see. I see. By the way, have you ever tried to go deeper into the tunnels to find out what's written on this map?

We haven't gone deep into the tunnels. There are many monsters in the old tunnels. But there is a request to collect minerals from another map I have. I have looked for this one. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything.

　Tried is tried is tried: ....... He's surprisingly bored, too.


'On a different note, Efta-san. I'd like to ask you a favor, but just now Deanna told me that it may take a long time to complete the next leg of your guidance.

It's going to take a long time.

I've been on my own and my base of operations has been at the inn and at Rebecca's place, but that's not going to happen anymore, is it? So, I've already bought a mansion, but it's not ready to live in yet, so of course I'll have to maintain it. But I'm not ashamed to say that I don't have enough money to do that. It's going to be a house for Deanna to live in, and I'm wondering if you could back it up with the Solo family, this.

It's a new home for me and my master ....... Doh, slaves are sometimes spanked in the basement ......, master, you're too quick to be a master. ......


　There's that weird fantasy coming out of your mouth again!　I'm in the middle of something important, so pull yourself together!


Yeah, that's fine.

　It's so light!　What kind of financial sense does this guy have?　And he bought my escort slaves for a whole bunch of money!
　I'm sure this thing will be very tasty when you achieve Deanna's guidance. Let me have a bite of that one.


''Thank you. Then we'll talk about that later, but actually, ...... now there's a guidance that says 'Let's do business with the Imperial Merchant'.

'Oh, that's great. After all, you and I have been in the company of the Great Spirit, haven't we?

　And Mr. Efta looks really happy.
　Seriously, this guy. I don't know what Bonbon thinks .......
　You do things like cheat on me, but you don't feel bad at all ....... No, you don't feel bad about it, sincerely.

　But, well, I'm going to have to deal with this guy for a while, too, because of Deanna's backup thing.
　But I'll be careful not to fall for any more pranks.





　◇◆◆◆◇





Sorry for the delay.


　A slave trader and a lightly made-up Marina enter the room, dressed in a simple white cotton dress and lightly made up.

　Marina's deep purple eyes scowl in bewilderment, her hands teasingly confidently, and a modestly-modified Marina.

　What a cute little creature. It's like a dream to be able to take home for real. Dhee.


　She makes eye contact with Marina. She looks at me as if she wants to say something, but I don't know if she's going to say anything.
　I guess I'll have to say a word to my slave, Master!


You're beautiful, Marina. Really beautiful. ...... I want to explore every inch of you.

　Shit, I was the one who said something weird.

　Marina's eyes widen in surprise and her face turns bright red.
　Deanna twisting up my left arm.
　Rebecca twitches my right arm.
　I'm going to snap!



'Mostly, the master is rude. He is rude to me. He didn't say a single word like that to me.

Yeah. Giraud can be a bit of a thinker.

Oh, no, I don't take pleasure in that kind of talk from the Lord: ......

'No, you're irresistible, Jirou-san. Hahaha.


　This is what it means to be popular!　For the first time in my life, I've been with a guy!
　What a joke. I'm not going to be fooled by Efta again!
