A loud shout echoed through the room of the baron's house.

''Wow, I've prepared an excessive amount of environment for my slaves as per my contract. The fact is that the slaves have not complained to me. It's an accusation on your part.

That's right! Furthermore, you're not even close to being a thief if you take away my baronial slaves that were originally there!

　A middle-aged blond man sitting in a large chair on the back reclining, and a man with a bad eye for armor shouted in anger.

　Receiving those words from the front, Aifa opened her mouth without moving a single eyebrow.

''You didn't properly understand the terms of the contract for the highest level slaves, the slaves you brought back were quite worn out from malnutrition and exhaustion. Aside from the number of meals, what was the quantity and content of the food? The room looked like a stable on the verge of being torn down as far as I could see, and the sleeping quarters were already broken, but who was to judge that it was proper?

　Although never loud, Aifa's voice sounded good. The baron hesitated to reply to it, but the man in armor, who had just claimed to have rung with a warrior, lifted his eyes and shouted back.

''Nonsense! Slaves don't get better treatment than that! Did you intend to threaten me from the start to take my wealth?

　A swordsmanlike light dwelt in Aifa's eyes as she spoke those words in anger.

　In the air of a flash, a streak of cold sweat ran down the faces of the two soldiers standing on either side of the baron. Their gaze was focused on Taiki's robot standing behind Aifa.

　However, as if he didn't feel any of that tension, Yuri opens his mouth with a smile.

No way would that baronet-sama treat a slave purchased from a store in my celestial country with coldness. I think it's highly likely that the terms of the contract I offered him were not properly explained.

You will!

　At Yuri's words, the man in armor nodded his head in an exaggerated manner to me. His smile deepened at that, and Yuri continued, "However.

''However, of all the nobles and royalty from various countries who signed contracts with the same explanation, there is no doubt that your Excellency had the worst environment for slaves. It's a contract that shows the environment of the slaves, so that much is true.

　Not only the baron, but also the man in armor, who clearly asserts to Yuri, closes his mouth with a face as if he had bitten down on a bitter bug.

''Are you sure? Even if that Baron had such a disgraceful impression on the rest of the world the Baron is such an honorable man that the Celestial Kingdom, our Emperor Frieder, and the Blau Empire would have nothing to fear. But it would not be pleasant to have your reputation tarnished.

　It was said in a worried manner, and the Baron's complexion turned blue.

It's a shame that my baronial family is being whispered about. It is a shame that my baronial family is being whispered about in such an ugly way. It would be easy to laugh at the rumors that have no roots, but if we keep quiet, such rumors will spread in the blink of an eye.

　Agreeing with Yuri's words with a faintly trembling voice sound, the Baron glances over to steal a glance at the robot standing at the back of Aifa.

''.........Hey, is there any good way to do this? I want you to offer me a good method that both parties can agree on.

　Hearing those words, Yuri laughed happily.

''As expected of you, Baroness. You are very calm and collected even in such a situation. I am sure that the reputation of the Baron will be known in our country as well.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha....well, actually, I had the idea of doing that originally. I'm going to give away a couple of slaves.

　Aifa placed a small leather bag in front of the baron, who laughed with a twitching face and said so. You can hear the sound of metal overlapping and rubbing, and the baron's expression relaxes.

''Hey, what's this?''

It's for the slave. Please accept it. We have made a fair calculation of the amount and have provided it all at the normal market rate for slaves.

　Yuri replied, and the man in armor hurriedly took the coins out of his leather bag and laid them on the table. Calculating the total, the man in armor blushes.

''Wait..... The slave you bought from that store is two gold coins. Isn't that not enough for two gold coins?

　Yuri was about to answer the man in armor, who was getting more and more wordy as he said it, but before he could, Aifa spoke up.

''I signed up as a top-tier slave, but I wasn't treated as a top-tier slave. In other words, that side only found the value of a mere slave, didn't they? You ask me to give you two gold pieces to bring back a slave of such low value.

"Mugu but I'm sure it was bought with two gold pieces!

'You were convinced that it was worth two gold coins when you bought it, weren't you? Then why didn't you provide an environment for your superlative slavery?

　When Aifa asks this matter-of-factly, the Baron looks flustered and addresses the man in armor.

''Yo, good. About two gold coins, it's not a big expense for my family.''

　After being told this by his master, the man in armor reluctantly held his tongue while his face was plastered with indignation.

　Then they exchanged two or three times, and the negotiations ended with both sides agreeing on the result.
