The slave I bought from this guy ran away!

So that's why, because of your poor management...

Jesus Christ!

　A man shouting at me and a frightened man arguing back at me. The two men argued for a while, then turned to face us.

''Aristocrat husband! It's his fault, isn't it!

''No, no, sir. What this person is saying is terribly selfish....

　For some reason, the two of them asked me for a judgment, but of course I don't have that kind of authority. They seem to be mistaking me for a senior nobleman with my golem-controlling guards and beautiful women, but it's not like I have any power in this country.

　However, it would be strange to talk to them and then throw them out. I'll get the details from the two of them and give them as fair a trial as possible.

''I'm sorry, but is this the right one?''

　Having objectively judged the two men's arguments, I defended the merchant-like man by saying so.

''Hey, why?!''

　The garrulous man peels his eyes away and takes a step toward us.

I don't think you can overturn it if you have a contract and you've written your name on it. At any rate, it says that there are no guarantees after the sale.

Oh, my goodness.

　A man who is blatantly depressed by my sentence. But it can't be helped. A contract is a terrible thing. This guy will probably read the contract carefully next time he makes a contract.

'd*mn it! I'm gonna miss you, Diego! You rogue merchant!

　The merchant called Diego smiles bitterly at the man who runs away, leaving behind a discarded line.

''........Totally, what a thick-skinned fellow you are. No, I'm really saved. It's thanks to my husband. I wouldn't have been able to bear it if he had killed me with that kind of recrimination.

　As far as being able to laugh like that, Diego also seemed to be used to the Shura scene.

The first thing to do is to buy a crime slave because it's cheap, and if you manage it with a mockery, you might at least understand that you can get away with it. It's common sense to put additional restrictions on slaves with bad behavior to prepare them, but to say that you don't have any money so you need the bare minimum.......

　Diego chuckles at the mumbling and angry words and raises one hand.

'Well then, here we go.'

　As he turned to leave with that, Diego huffed and held out his hands.

'Oh, wait a minute! If you have the time, please stop by my business office! I'm sorry, but I thought I'd do something to thank you...

Chamber of Commerce?

　I don't feel comfortable befriending a slave-trader.

　Thinking so, when I tried to decline softly, Diego smiled with a soft, merchant-like smile.

''Yes, we carry a variety of goods other than slaves! After all, I belong to the country's largest trade association, the Reginion Trade Association. I'm the assistant branch manager there!

　Diego said proudly.

　He doesn't know how different the assistant branch manager is from Hira, but he's sure it's a very large business association. If there are other products besides slaves, I'd certainly like to see them.

''If you're willing to go that far, I'll be happy to show up for a moment.

　As he replied, Diego pointed to the end of the street with a squeal of joy.

'Oh!' So, here you go! Let me show you the Chamber of Commerce where I work!

　Saying that, Diego walks ahead lightly with his footsteps, and Eira snorts at him with an indescribable face.

''........Would it be safe to have a slave seal? Me and Aifa-san could be mistaken for merchandise or........''

'No, it's not. But if you make a mistake, I'll just tell you that you're my slave and I'll fool you.

　When I turned around to utter such a black joke, I saw Eira turning over with her cheeks lightly reddened.

''Ta, Taiki-sama's slave.......maybe that's a good thing.......''

　Eira mumbling something, and Aifa nodding emphatically.......

''Jeez, I'm just kidding, okay? Right? Oh, look! Mr. Diego's going to go first, okay?

　I felt like I'd hit a weird switch and I hurriedly walked off after Diego.

　After that, Eira was acting suspiciously, holding her cheeks with her hands and moving her head around, but Yuri was watching her with a very smiling look on his face.

　It is a suspicious group. The suspicious group, led by Diego, stood at the intersection of a street lined with slave shops and a street lined with ordinary shops.

　They pointed to the most respectable building on the corner of the large intersection and Diego opened his mouth.

'Come on, we're here! This is the second branch of the Legionnaire's Trading Company's Wangdu Branch! This is the branch where I work!

Oh....

　I looked up at the store and I couldn't help but let my voice escape.

　A three-story building that hadn't been seen much in this town yet. It's also a huge stone shop that's practically four stories high because the first floor is so high.

　The first floor had a good amount of merchandise in front of the entrance and a good amount of customers. On the second floor, a woman in revealing clothes waved her hand at the overhanging veranda-like area, but from a sidelong glance, the building was truly magnificent.

'Store manager! Manager Rabia!

　Diego called out loudly for the manager, and not long after, a tall, lanky, slender man appeared from the store.

　The man made a gloomy face with his eyebrows furrowed in a c, and he came toward us at a fast pace.

　Then he slapped Diego on the head.

'Don't make a scene in front of your customers, Diego. It's a question of commercial class, Diego. How many times do I have to tell you that you understand, Diego?

　While babbling and scolding, Rabia grabbed Diego's head with both hands and shook it wobbly.

　And then she noticed us in the middle of Diego's public chastisement, and her eyes widened when she saw A1 and Aifa.

''Well this is an embarrassing part. My name is Rabia, and I am in charge of this branch. Diego, please introduce me.

　Rabia releases Diego with such a greeting. Meanwhile, the freed Diego smiles pleasantly and slaps his chest.

''These are the noblemen who saved me from this dangerous place! Oh, by the way, we didn't even get your name! Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask your names?

　Hearing Diego's introduction, which was not even an introduction, Rabia smiled at us and punched Diego in the head with her fist.
