"Hmm~, the taste of money"

I crouched down, put my arm around the slave merchant's shoulder, sniffed at his high salute, and then smiled hideously.

"Ah, what an intuition and smile, like the greedy devil of hell, it really makes the villain extremely excited~"

The slave merchant's face turned crimson and smiled evilly.

"Slave merchant, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I want to ask you to buy slaves"

Straight to the point, now I just want to see Raphtalia.

"It's really direct, the brave is really better than expected"

"Then don't be verbose, I will be your old customer in the future, now hurry up and go to see the goods"

"Yes, follow the orders of the Brave."

The slave merchant bowed to me and led me to his shop.

After walking along the alleyway for a distance, the figures of the homeless and unscrupulous elements became more and more visible.

Everywhere you go, you can hear the sound of quarrels and throwing things. The most ridiculous thing is that there is a strong odor in the air. As the road came to an end, a hut resembling a circus tent appeared in the corner of the alley.

"Brave man, please come here"

The slave trader walked with strange steps, but his steps were extremely brisk.

Then, as expected, the slave trader took me into the circus tent.

The interior of the store is dimly lit and fills with a faint rancid smell. The smell of the beast is also very strong, and you can tell at a glance that the environment is not in good condition.

There were several cages in the tent, and among them, there was only a humanoid black shadow moving stupidly.

The slave merchant led me to a cage with a black cloth.

"Originally, there was a guest who wanted me to capture the Brave and raise the Brave as a slave."

"Originally, I said that I have changed my mind now"

"Yes, in the last few days, I have found that the brave man has the potential to be a very good guest."

"Really? So you dismissed the idea."

"Yes, after observing the life of the brave man for a few days, I admire the five bodies of the brave man's business model."

"You mean balloon wreckage?"

"Exactly, first use the price five times lower than the market to let their balloon wreckage flow in the market, and then let the merchants who found the value of the balloon wreckage find themselves, in order to maximize profits, let several shops compete for the price, this sensitivity to money can be said to be the brave man is born to do business."

"That's really a compliment, let's end the chat, now I'm in a bit of a hurry, can you hurry up, you know, for businessmen, time is money."

"Lord Brave, you are really proficient in business, so please see, this is the best slave in this shop."

Slaves used to uncover the black cloth of the cage in a gentlemanly way.

"Woo woo woo...... Roar! ”

Inside the cage was a creature that looked like a human, with skin covered in beast fur and sharp claws and fangs...... To put it bluntly, it's a werewolf, roaring and slamming into the cage desperately.

The slave trader snapped his fingers. I saw a magic array appear on the wrist of the slave trader, and the pattern of the magic array on the chest of the werewolf who was locked in the cage also glowed.

"I see, this is a slave pattern."

While I'm sympathetic to what happened to this werewolf, I'm sorry that the purpose of this visit is not to save you.

"Yes, as long as you set the way to use it, you can give a punishment with just one command like this."

The slave trader began to babble at me about how the slave trader used it.

"It looks like a battle slave, and it's about level 75, but the event is flawed, so the estimated price is around 15 gold."

Because the original novel animation has mentioned it, I know the price of this werewolf very well.

"Ahh

"Sorry, disgusted"

I don't want to complain, and all kinds of meanings are complaining about the matter of keeping seeds, all of which are blacking myself.

"Ahem, ahem"

A cough sound, caught my attention.

It was from a cage in a remote corner.

I walked in slowly, I don't know why, my heart beat a little faster, and I felt like it was Raphtaglia in front of me.

Walking over to the cage, I pulled open the half-covered black cloth.

The dim light hit the cage.

A ten-year-old girl, scrawny and fearful, shivering and coughing, with a pair of slightly over-round animal ears and a thick tail that could be described as dogs, appeared before me.

Raphtalia.

I stood there and didn't speak, staring blankly at the girl in the cage, there is no doubt that she is Raphtaglia, the heroine of the original work, the brave man of the knife in another world, the current destiny,

"Ahh

"Hey, don't interrupt me now"

My mind is wandering, I was desperate to find Raphtalia, but now I find it, but I don't know what to do, is this really good, I'm asking myself, the development of the novel animation made me find Raphtaglia, but should I make her a slave according to the plot development and let her fight? To be honest, I feel like I'm just a taker now, this world isn't real enough for me, it's not real enough, I'm just a substitute for Naofumi Iwatani who appeared, so will I have that deep feelings with Raphtaglia? I questioned.

"Cut, it's annoying"

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, so I ran my hair with my back to Raphtalia, then sat down, stood up again, and paced back and forth several times.

"That, that, that, is there anything wrong with the Brave Lord?"

The slave merchant asked me cautiously.

"Slave merchant, thirty-one coins, the cell door opens, and the slave tattoo of this girl is lifted"

I made up my mind, I'm Sima Ghost Cai, not Iwatani Shangwen, I have my thoughts, if Raftalia doesn't want to fight, then I'll train her level to be able to live independently, and then let her live alone, maybe this is also a kind of happiness for her.

"Huh? Are you planning to buy this slave, Lord Brave? ”

"Yes"

The slave dealer opened the cell door and grabbed the iron ring around Laphtalia's neck, ready to drag the frightened Raphtalia out.

I took the slave merchant's hand, stopped him, and then crouched down and said softly to Raphtalia, "Can you tell me your name?" ”

Raphtalia looked at me with a look of despair and fear, and then said timidly, "Ra, Raf, ahem." Raphtaglia"

"So, hello, Raphtaglia"

I slowly passed my hand to Raphtalia.

After hesitating for a while, Raftaria slowly took my hand, holding Raphtagria's hand, I could clearly feel the scars on her hands, there should have been a lot of injuries here, thinking of this, I couldn't help glaring at the slave trader.

As a result, the slave merchant seemed to be very useful and enjoyed it.

I sighed helplessly at the masochistic slave trader.

Raphtaglia slowly stepped out of the cage.

The dim light hit me and Raphtaglia and it felt like an oil painting.

I smiled heartily at Raphtaglia.

"Then, my name is Sima Guicai, please advise"
