"Boss, give me a little cheaper~"

Somewhere in the bustling bazaar, suddenly such a voice was heard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info saw a maid with black hair and black eyes in front of a vegetable stall haggling with the boss in an unusually coquettish voice. This kind of thing is not uncommon here, so people who notice it just look at it and don't care about it. After all, there are many thieves in this kind of crowded place, and if you have time to pay attention to others, you might as well pay more attention to your wallet.

The owner of the vegetable stall was a middle-aged man who looked a little thin and had some stubble on his face, and he was pretending to be troubled at this time, because even if it was cheaper, it would only be a slight loss. It's not too hard to make money by losing a few coppers, but such a beautiful maid is not so easy to see.

"Just give me a little cheaper, I'll come again." The maid had obviously had a lot of experience in this area, and just by looking at the shopkeeper's face, he knew that if he added more fire, the deal would be done.

"You can't help it, Miss, take it, you have to take care of my business again." Sure enough, under the repeated attacks of the maid, the shopkeeper chose to surrender.

"Thank you!"

After giving the shopkeeper a bright smile, the maid set out on her way home satisfied.

At this time, it was February of the new year, and the maid's maid outfit had been changed to a new style that paid more attention to warmth. After half a year of baptism, the original messy short hair has grown to the length of the neck after trimming, and now anyone who looks at it will think that this is a beautiful girl.

Provided that this girl is not his words.

That's right, this maid is Bai He. Eight months have passed unconsciously since I came to this world, and I have lived a stable life for half a year. During this time, Bai He was completely degraded, and he finally accepted his status as a maid. As the saying goes, life is like a rape, so if you can't resist it, then enjoy it. But having said that, Bai He didn't have any intention of resisting. About two months ago, Mei Ou completely handed over the matter of going out to buy to Bai He, so as long as she sold a little smile like just now, the money would automatically flow into Bai He's pocket little by little.

Speaking of Meo, there is one thing that has to be said. Bai He's ability to communicate with people without barriers like this is really thanks to Meiou's teachings. Originally, when Mei Ou taught Bai He the language, he could only rely on drawing pictures to make Bai He understand the meaning, which was very inefficient. But since returning from Xiusai Town, Bai He has become able to understand the meaning of Mei Ou's speech, and although Bai He is still good at language, being able to understand Mei Ou's speech still makes him learn much faster. By now, Bai He can have daily conversations with others without any obstacles, although he still doesn't understand the more difficult things.

Looking up at the sky, the position of the sun is still some distance from directly above, and the time is about ten o'clock. As far as procurement is concerned, Bai He has wasted a lot of time. Taking out the list written by Mei Ou and looking at it, Bai He sighed. The reason is that there is an ingredient that cannot be found in the market here.

Although he might be scolded if he went back late, Bai He didn't want to disappoint Meiou because he couldn't complete the task.

I had no choice but to go to the West End to have a look.

The so-called western district refers to the western part of Deiz, which belongs to the slums, mixed with dragons and snakes, and is a very chaotic place. Most of the things that can't see the light in Deiz are concentrated here. It was at the market in the West Ward that Ibu bought Hakuga. By the way, Ibrahimovic's residence and college are located in the East End. The East End, the so-called rich district, is the center of Deiz, and the lord of Deiz has a large house called a castle in the most prosperous area.

The thought of going to the West End began to give Bai He a headache, he had been to the West End once before, and at that time, almost every few steps he took, he encountered the kind of people with bad intentions who wanted to rob or talk.

But I can't care so much now, I care more about Meiou than these Bai He.

Calculating the time to go back and forth, Bai He began to carry the vegetable basket and head towards the West District.

If you compare the current appearance of Bai He with the way he was when he first came to this world, then there is no doubt that his current appearance has degenerated to the point of nothing compared to before.

It doesn't take much time to get to the West End. The market that Hakuga frequented was originally located in a civilian area, and it only took a few minutes to enter the West Side from there.

The originally bustling scene on both sides of the street became dilapidated after passing through a certain street, and even the clothes of the passers-by walking on the street became shabby.

Of course, this is to take the maid costume full of good material on Bai He's body to do this. Just as a beggar would be conspicuous when he suddenly appeared on a street full of wealthy people, a richly dressed maid like Bai He would be conspicuous when walking in such a place. No, it should be said that he has exceeded the conspicuous level, and Bai He now feels like a rare animal in a cage, and everyone wants to come to see him.

Although he felt very uncomfortable, Bai He couldn't say anything. After all, people just look at it.

Let's hurry up and go back.

Thinking of this kind of thing, Bai He quickened his pace and moved towards the market in his memory.

On the road, Bai He met many people squatting in the alley and pointing at him, and many of them had faces that Bai He had once flattened. Those people probably remembered who Bai He was, after all, there were not many maids like him in this kind of place. Although it is still very uncomfortable, Bai He's motto is that more things are better than less, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to find the ballast, Bai He will let them see it.

The market was found at once. It was filled with the same stench that Yu Baihe had deeply engraved in his memory, and it was here that he had been kept in a cage in the first place. Having easily found the kind of ingredients that were missing, Bai He prepared to leave. He really didn't want to stay in this kind of place for long.

He kept his head down as he left, trying not to look at either side. But after all, his efforts came to naught, and Bai He couldn't help but look at the house on his right.

It was the place where the goods were stacked, and it was also the place where Shiraka used to stay.

Perhaps by chance, a head poked out of the window of the house. I probably think that after having an iron cage, I don't need more protection, and the windows of this kind of house are the kind of glass windows that can be pushed open.

For a while, the line of sight of two pairs of four eyes, one large and one small, coincided. The girl who poked her head out was a girl with black hair and black eyes like Bai He, who was about 12 years old. The eyes are round, and at first glance it feels like the head is very smart, the cheeks are thin, and the face is covered with dust. Bai He had been there before, so it was not difficult to imagine what the girl had suffered so far.

Before Bai He could figure out why the girl was standing in that position......

"There's a slave running away!"

A shout broke the staring between the two, and the girl hurriedly pushed open the window and jumped out of it. She didn't have shackles on her hands and feet, so it was easy to move, but probably because she had been hungry for a long time, the girl's movements staggered.

(It turns out that there are people in this world who have black hair and black eyes like me.) ）

When the girl ran past Bai He, Bai He thought leisurely. It was the first time he had seen someone as dark-haired and black-eyed as he was, and ironically in front of a slave trader's warehouse. As the girl's senior, Bai He was sure that she wouldn't be able to run far.

As soon as the girl ran past Bai He, several strong, fierce-looking men chased after her not far away. While fleeing and chasing, the two teams soon disappeared into the alley. The people who witnessed it all went about their business, and no one cared what would happen to the girl.

But Bai He is different, since he saw it, then no matter what he said, he had to follow and take a look. So Bai He followed the direction where the few people left.

I thought it might take a long time to find it, but unexpectedly, Bai He only found a few people after only turning around in the alley twice.

"Stinky ****! Run again, why don't you run?"

The girl was firmly pressed to the ground, unable to move, and one of them was slapping the girl's face with a bow from side to side. With a pop, the girl spat out a mouthful of red and white blood, and her teeth were knocked out. Bai He knew that these people didn't care too much about the severity of the attack, as long as they couldn't die, the slave traders had a medicine to treat bruises, and the face that was beaten purple and swollen only needed to be treated with this medicine for one night. But that's only on the surface, and in fact the place where you are beaten will still be so painful.

One of them noticed Bai He's footsteps, and when he turned around, he wanted to scold, but after seeing Bai He's face, he changed to a frivolous tone, and finally changed to respect after seeing Bai He's maid outfit.

“...... What's the matter?"

There are not many people in Deiz who can dress a maid in such good clothes. It didn't matter who the owner of the maid was, because no one could afford to mess with him.

His words attracted the attention of several people present, so they all turned their heads to look at Bai He, including the little girl lying on the ground.

When the girl saw that this person was the one who had just met her gaze, and that he had black hair and black eyes, she immediately felt very kind, and at the same time a wave of hope was ignited, as if Bai He would save her from the sea of misery in this way.

“...... You guys...... In this way, it is not good. Bai He held back for a long time before he spit out these words. He knew the meaning in the girl's eyes, so the words were harder to utter than he had imagined. Bai He has been in this world for more than half a year, and this situation is the most able to make people mature quickly. He is no longer the hot-blooded teenager he used to be, and he can already see some things clearly.

Let's take this matter as an example, if Bai He is here to save this girl now, then he will definitely form a bond with the slave traders, and it is very likely that those slave traders will come to the door. Don't forget that he was only a servant, a man who lived under Eevee's fence, and with Eevee's protection he could continue to live a stable life like this. Without Eevee, it can be said that it would be easy for others to want Bai He's life.

Doing good is an act that only those who have the strength to do it. With Bai He's current strength, all he can do is say this.

"Ah...... Okay, we got it. When these people answered, Bai He could clearly see the inexplicable words in their eyes.

"Hey, get up, don't play dead!" said one of them, dragging the girl up from the ground and shoving her to leave.

At the moment when the figures were staggered, what Bai He saw from the girl's eyes was unstoppable despair and disappointment.

"That's, that'...... How much does it cost to buy her?" Bai He spoke again with some hesitation.

Several people turned around and glanced at each other, although they were a little inexplicable, but still answered Bai He.

"Five gold coins, do you want to buy them?"

The girl's eyes were originally lit up with hope again because of Bai He's words, but this ruthless price crushed her hope again.

Five gold coins, converted to silver, is about 115 coins. This price is a sky-high price for both the girl and Bai He. Bai He really wanted to buy the girl if the price was right, but his budget was only three silver coins to buy the ingredients.

“...... No, nothing. Bai He laughed dryly twice, and let a few people take the girl away.

On the way home, Bai He's heart was extremely gloomy. His mind was full of the girl's eyes mixed with despair and disappointment. The time came to noon unconsciously, but Bai He didn't care about being scolded by Mei Ou when he went back.

Bai He, who had his head down, didn't pay much attention to his surroundings, so when he reacted, he had already been kicked to the ground.

"I'll fuck you Yani Hack mongrel!"

The vegetables in the basket were scattered all over the floor.
