Chapter 29 – Doing Something with Purpose (part 1)
The three only ended up with one blow to the head and all three were currently sitting on their knees in front of me.
"Alright, if you've realized what you've done. Then what are you guys doing here?"
"Ee...Mister Hyuga, we should be the ones who ask, what are you doing here?"
"Don't use stiff language, just relax. I'm here to see the city. So, can you tell me what you guys are doing? Is Dalmore also in town right now?"
"We're heading to a bar for a drink! Ack, that's not what we meant, Hyuga you could be in danger if you stay in this town. Master Dalmore already told Baron Audey about you! And yes, Master Dalmore is currently at his residence in this town. "
"Take it easy. They wouldn't have thought that I would be here now. Then what was Baron Audey's response to Dalmore's report?"
"Of course he is furious! Even according to rumors, he has contacted the Dark Guild to teach you a lesson. "
"Dark Guild? Is there such a thing here?"
"Just as a rumor we heard, a few months ago Baron Audey invited a group of Dark Guild members from another city to form a Dark Guild in this place. "
"According to rumors too, their group is even capable of taking care of B rank adventurers."
"And with the current condition of this city, they can easily recruit new members. "
The three of them quickly told me about it. In some of the stories I've read, the Dark guild is a place for people who are willing to do dirty work, including murder.
"You were able to find the Dark guild you told me about?"
"We're not sure, but it seems that if Master Dalmore had asked Baron Audey about it, Master Dalmore could have easily found out. "
"Not sure doesn't mean you guys can't find it right?", I smiled widely after saying that, but the three of them had faces that showed the opposite of my current expression.
I asked them to do something for me. After I was done with those lads, I did a few other things in town, including trying out the food stall recommended by the three guys I'd heard about. I decided to return to Camellia Village two days after the meeting.

" All of you will be living in this house from now on. "
A few days passed since I returned to the village after visiting Draga town. When I arrived at the village, a message from the merchant guild informed me of the matter of the slaves that Dalmore was going to release according to the agreement we made back then.
However, that person was really good at paying me back. Of the sixteen people he freed, there were five who had no place to go.
To be more precise, those five people were actually out of the list of people he was supposed to free according to the agreement, our agreement only applies to citizens of this kingdom who were made slaves by improper means such as kidnapping and fraud.
For those five, it is true that some of them were victims of fraud by Dalmore's trading associates who for one reason or another ended up becoming his assets.
To be clear, one person was scammed when borrowing money for treatment and ended up not being able to complete the treatment process. A brother and sister who work and want to build their own business, but are also tricked by a merchant. An eccentric man who gets into trouble because of his behavior and gets into debt and becomes a slave, and finally a traumatized young girl whose village is attacked by bandits and sold to a slave trader.
In other words, some of them were problematic products (as slaves) that were shoved at me by Dalmore under the guise of goodwill.
At first I was quite upset with what he did, but after seeing their condition I felt that I couldn't bear to leave them stranded aimlessly and finally I accepted them. That's why I spent the past few days preparing my house so that they could also live here.
"The men will temporarily sleep in the basement, including me. Fei and Kaede can use the room there. Pochi and the others will keep watch at night, so you don't have to worry. "
Since this happened quite suddenly, I could only do a few things to make the house more livable. Such as opening up the path to the basement to make it more accessible, buying some additional furniture such as beds and so on for them and also blocking and providing seals and barriers to some parts of this basement so that the parts that I don't want to show to many people can remain hidden.
"Rodin, this may be a little inconvenient for you. But until we finish renovating this place and your treatment is complete please be patient for now. "
Rodin, a man about 180cm tall with a well-built physique, whose body today looks too thin compared to his posture. life as a slave is the same as getting a meager and makeshift ration of food, even according to stories some slave traders do not feed their slaves for several days to save their costs.
Plus, the fact that his injury had not yet been treated made him look a bit concerning, but there was one thing that was interesting about this guy. The look in his eyes still showed that he still wanted to fight for his life.
According to his story (with the slave seals still attached to their bodies at that time so that they could not lie), he had worked as a guard for a merchant after he was recruited while still an adventurer.
One day their group was attacked by a large number of beasts, only he and a few people from their group survived. However, Rodin who served as a guard for the merchant group was seriously injured.
Unfortunately, for one reason or another, when he needed funds for treatment, he was deceived by someone and became the slave he is today with injuries that are still untreated.
One of his injuries limited him to relying on one leg to walk as his other leg could not be moved properly and since the men had to climb down the stairs to the basement, this would be quite difficult for him.But, I could still see that this person had a solid lower body foundation and had been well trained.
For the reason why we men were living in the basement, firstly, the room I made was not enough for four people, and there was I think it was not good to let a young girl with trauma be in a basement that was quite dark and very closed, I think it made it even more difficult to treat her mental health.
In addition to Rodin, there are also siblings Cloud and Fei who aspire to open their own restaurant with their family heritage cooking recipes who are instead deceived by merchants who say they will help them.
For both of them, there is no problem, it's just that their request is that if possible they want to stay together even if they become slaves, because they only have each other and have no one else.
"I'm already very grateful that you accepted me, so master, there's no need to say that. "
"And don't worry, this Mike will be happy to help Rodin for a trivial thing like this. "
And the person who said he would help Rodin with a striking gesture when speaking was named Mike, Mike Luxurio van Vert in full.
According to what I've seen during my time in this world, not many people have a last name, especially a long name like his.
But this person always shows himself conspicuously by doing something exaggerated, such as speaking in a tone, gesture, narcissistic and so on that of course people will easily get tired of dealing with him and that is what makes him unsold until now as a slave.
And finally the girl named Kaede. Honestly, Mike was one of the most problematic if categorized as a product while being a slave. But for Kaede, it seems like it will take more time and effort to be able to make her condition better than it is now.
On the other hand...
Name : Kaede Oboro, age : 17
Miko, Slave
Mana : 3
Type : Void
Unique magic : Medium
Skills : Sealing magic 1, Talisman Crafting 3, Sewing 2, Cooking 2
Titles : Sealing Vessel of Nine-tails Fox, survivor
Condition : Sealed – seal of thunderclap(uncompleted), weakened
Her status is the most unique among the others, which is the problem and also the one that caught my attention the most at the moment, her condition and also the titles she has.
This girl is still difficult to communicate with and that's what concerns me the most right now. Hopefully, my premonition this time won't get worse in the future.
