No one was able to speak in Lionel's voice, which was filled with supremacy.
　All seven representatives and three soldiers, including Scherzer.

'If you're silent, that's fine, but you're the one in trouble, aren't you? I would like to hear an apology and what you will do to dispose of these ruffians and make reparations to us?
　Lionel now turns around and speaks in a calmer voice, loosening his intimidation.

　There, Shazza finally began to apologize.
''I am truly sorry about this. I never thought that there would be an attack on the day the healer-sama came. Luciel-sama, as a country we will make the ruffians pay for their crimes with death, and as for reparations we would like to think again, is it alright with you?
　Shazza and Lionel also looked at us as if they were looking at us and leaving the decision up to us.


I see. I was surprised by the attack, so originally I could report back to my home country as soon as possible, but...''
　I put my hand to my chin and take a pause.
　I could tell that Shazza was impatient, but the look on Sheila's dad's face was almost crying, so I could see that it wasn't the intention of all of us.
　I made a decision here.

'Fine. First, we will reduce their status to that of slaves as criminal slaves, not as death crimes. Next, you will bear all of their expenses and they will be given the Healer's Guild's labor force as well as the exact amount of information that will be disseminated about this event. Secondly, there were many stores that wouldn't sell us anything, so we need you to make sure that they all have access to our goods. Of course, we will pay for it. Finally, we will maintain the area around the Healer's Guild in order to maintain security. Let's leave that at the end of this request. I'm expecting compensation.


　I don't even know if it's really a mortal sin, and an increase in strength would be preferable because it would avoid dispersing the forces of my men and Lionel and the others.
　Also, if the number of shops where you can shop is increased, it will prevent any backlash from residents not being able to buy goods at those shops, and you might find a bargain at a shop you couldn't afford.
　There's no problem with expanding the guild because it's a peripheral maintenance project.
　I decided to demand it with that in mind.

　Lionel seems a little unhappy, but it's not like we're going to war with Yenis, and it's easy to blame him if we don't exactly spread the word.


　I'm not going to get close to Shazza, and although I can feel his anger at my request, he has no choice but to agree to it because there is not a single difficult detail.
I'm sorry for this time. I will accept all of those conditions.
　Shazza opened his mouth to say so without looking up. I'm sure he has a look on his face like he's going to bite down on a bitter worm.


We have seen the mercy of Luciel this time, but don't expect to see it again. Also, one of you will have to come with me to the slaver now.
　Lionel is packing it in tightly.

　Then Shazza opens his mouth.
''By the way, you weren't here when you came to Yenis, but who are you?''
Me? I am Luciel's vassal. Caucasian.
　Lionel's loud laughter echoed around the area.


　My companion to the slavers was the wolf-beast Glarga-san, who had stabbed me in the gut in the holy city of old, what a nostalgic time.
　When we left the mansion and the soldiers were out of sight, he began muttering an apology to himself while looking forward to his posture.

''Holy Hen-sama. I'm very sorry that you came all the way out here, but I'm very sorry that things have turned out like this.''
　As expected, I can see from his appearance that I can sense what's going on and I speak in a whisper too.

'Have things changed in about three years?'
　He began to explain as he walked slowly.


　The content of the story sounded familiar.
　Three months after Sheila's father, Olga's father, who was the representative at the time, returned from the Holy City, he stepped down when his term expired.
　The next representative of the country was from the dragon race. However, with their high natural healing power, they were not that attracted to the healers.
　They voiced that the Medicine Guild, which could cure diseases, should be given preferential treatment over the healers.
　The following year, they sank their voices to the ground, saying that the following year, the area where the Healer's Guild was located had been rezoned, and the place where the Healer's Guild was located had been turned into a slum.

　And when the dragon race's term of office ended, there was a takeover effort, less than the dragon race, but more expensive.
Shazza, a representative of the tiger-beast race with combat and natural healing powers, has become the country's representative.

　Until a year ago, they were trying to eliminate the attraction of the Healer's Guild, but it seems that recently, the inactive labyrinth a short distance away from Yenis became active and was overrun with demons.

　Because of this, it seems that the Adventurer's Guild and the country's soldiers are currently working to put down the demons.
　However, it seems that only the highest quality potions are able to recover in time, and even the poison and paralysis medicines seem to change if their effects are slightly different, making it difficult to capture the labyrinth.
　Isn't there another forty years left to hear such stories? I arrived at the slave-dealer, almost having a bad feeling about it.


''This place didn't allow visitors at first glance when I first arrived?　
'It's all right. It's not that I was ordered to say no here, I'm just doing it because I don't want to sell out my slaves to strange customers.

　When I knocked on the door, an old wolf-beast man appeared from inside.

''Ou, it's been a long time.''

''What's up with you, Gralga.......what's up with you barging in with a large group of people?''
　The owner of the store remembers us once, of course, but he takes one look at us and immediately turns to Mr. Glaruga and asks, "Oh.

We'll be able to see him. He is the Master of the Sacred Change who saved our lives when we went to the Holy City. The guys on that rope over there were the idiots who attacked Holy Hen-sama and decided to make him a slave to the mortal sin, so I've come to ask you for help.

''Hou........you're the Holy Change Master, how do you plan to use them as your slaves?''
　His eyes seemed to see through the lies and I decided to speak honestly.　

'My orders are not to cause any harm or damage to me, the Healer's Guild and the Healer's Institute personnel or the Healer's Guild's property or horses. My job is to be treated as a laborer and to guard the Healer's Guild and the Healer's Guild. The conditions of employment are that they will be allowed to eat and sleep normally. Is that about it?

... (A really weird guy) All right. Come on in.

　The thirteen were given the slave crest of a criminal slave.
'We're all done here.
'O, you're supposed to keep the accounts in Yenis, so bill me later.
''Well fine. But doesn't Master Holy Change buy slaves in this store?
''Yes. You'll want to buy it when you see it, but we don't have enough rooms to rebuild the Healer's Guild. Once it's rebuilt, I'll consider buying it from this store.
"Humph, let's not get our hopes up.

　It seems that the old wolf-beast that Mr. Glarga called Ou is called Mr. Lerga. As I left the shop, Gralga-san seems to have been liked by Lerga-san. With that, he returned to the mansion.

''Slaves, I'm going to the Healer's Guild now, so you'd better obey my orders. Your treatment can get better or worse. Then let's go home.

　The front of the line was Keti, then me, with Lionel in between the slaves, but the slaves walked quietly under pressure from Lionel throughout.


　When we returned to the Healer's Guild, two priest knights were standing at the entrance.

''Thanks for your help. Did you find anything out of the ordinary?''
No. Most of them have made a lot of gestures of staring at us, but they haven't come anywhere near us.
We've got thirteen crime slaves in our possession, and they'll be assigned to guard us from this evening.
I'm glad to hear it.
　The two priest-knights were delighted. 'It's hard to guard at night.

''I'm sorry, but you're going to have to stand guard for a while longer.
Ha!


　Thus, as I was slipping into the guild, Dolan came to me.
You're late, Luciel-dono. I've dug out the basement lightly beside you for the time being. I forgot to ask you to buy some magic stones to immobilize it, but the ground is solid, so it won't collapse anytime soon. And what else did you ask for?


'Oh. It's in the magic bag. I'll take it out in the basement, but is this the right magic stone?
　I nodded as I showed him the magic stones I would drop in the Trial Labyrinth.
''If it's a dark magic stone, once it's immersed in holy water, it can be purified and used, but do you have holy water?''

Purification? Give me a minute.
　I cast a purification spell on the magic stone and the color of the magic stone changed to a light blue.
I can do anything I want. You can use this right away.
　He happily took the magic stone from me.
''I see.''
　I turn back and give him instructions.

'Lionel and Ketty, thanks for the escort. Now go downstairs to the basement and when you get your stuff out, keep an eye on the slaves and take a break. Slaves, you will help me with Doran, who will make your own bunk, thanks to Doran.
　After declaring that, I went to the basement later and put down the wood and other things I bought while looking at the basement that was really spread out to the side, and decided to put purification magic on around a hundred magic stones for now and leave it to Doran.
''I'll take care of the rest. I'll call you when the food is ready. Until then, good luck.''
Oh, I'm on it.


　Dolan had lost his arm and was rotting.
　The man who had given him his arm again did him a favor.
　Dolan thought he would never be asked to do anything in his life to make things.
　What he was asked to do was to expand the Healer's Guild. He entrusted him with all of that.
　Dolan's day job was as a blacksmith, but he was filled with motivation after being asked to do it again.


　Thus, the expansion I asked for was a modification? No, I had no way of knowing at this time that it would be the rumored magical modification.
