Excluding the one that Moulin-san recommended from the file, we decided to at least get 4-5 people at most.
Originally, the file already excluded the people who turned into slaves because of gambling or business failure, so I entrusted the decision to Sebastian and Maribelles ability to see through peoples character from their life experiences.
It should be fine if I just make the final decision..
As a result, the people that Sebastian and Maribelle eventually chose from Moulin-sans recommendations totaled to three people including the former noble young lady.
Without delay, I asked the Great Spirits about the lineup.
Mm, theres no issues. Well then, were in the middle of bowling so well be going now.
See ya~
Jeez, dont call us out of the blue.
bye.
Are they that addicted to bowling? Selene got mad.
Lets just forget about the Great Spirits who left just like that and start over.
Now then, time to pull myself together and go back to the interview.
I looked at the three people lined up in front of me again.
Charlotte von Vold (18 years old )
Daughter of a former baron, a beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes.
She was a victim of a political strife, but in order to prevent the revival of the House Vold, she was sold as a criminal slave under false charges. She would have been sold to a different country, but the Moulin Slavery Company obtained her from behind the scenes. In actuality, it could be said that Moulin-san was sheltering her.
Shes definitely a beautiful girl, and Moulin-san had given her guarantee on the girls skills, so there was no question about it. However, her father had died unexpectedly, and her mother who had returned to her parents home, so her worries must have been endless.
Yup, lets think about that later. After all, having heard her story, Im going to end up buying her, and then talk His Majesty into giving her amnesty.
Gina (16 years old)
She had mid length dark brown hair, and brown eyes. An earnest young girl.
She was born to a merchant family, but her parents debt made it impossible for their store keep running, so she was sold in order to raise funds.
The truth is, according to Moulin-sans information, the decline of this girls family was apparently not completely unrelated to me.
Originally a company that traded in magic devices, it had lost its market shares to the rapidly rising Papeck Company, and had spent a large amount of money to try to develop a better magic device than the one sold by the Papeck Company..
Well, they seem to have failed, though. Thats why she may have some feelings against me.
Ana[1] (15 years old)
She had shoulder length grey hair and green eyes. A cool-type beauty.
Her family had opened a small business, but she was sold to pay the debt her father had made through gambling. She didnt choose to be the daughter of a trash parent.
This intelligent girl who seemed relatively mature for her age looked at us with cold eyes.
This girls situation was beyond saving. Her father was utter garbage.
She herself was very capable, and she was an all rounder who could, of course, read, write, and calculate, as well as sew, cook, and knows etiquette.
However, because of her reason for coming here, it felt like she had given up on life.
I have several questions. My name is Sebastian and I work for the Iruma Family as its head butler. Firstly, what we are looking for today are personnel who are able to assist with processing an ever increasing amount of paperwork. Documents such as profits from patents and from the sales of various potions and magic devices may increase but will not decrease. As such, we are seeking for someone who could be an immediate asset to us. And so, let me be frank, please tell us if you do not wish to work with us.
As this is a job that deals with a large quantity of important documents, it will not be easy, and we will not hire someone who would be a hindrance to the family.N♡vεlB¡n: A Haven for Bookworms and Dreamers.
Sebastian and Maribelle gazed compellingly at the three candidates as they spoke.
So far, no one seems to not want to work for us.
If you work hard for several years, I plan on paying you enough salary for your release, but if possible, I would like you to continue working for us, but what do you think?
By all means, please buy me!
The first one to speak up was Gina-san.
I used to do everything, from accounting to product management, for my familys business. I believe I can be useful.
You should know that I am not unrelated to the decline of your familys business. Even then, are you okay with that?
Yes. Our decline was because father made a reckless gamble. We should have steadily done business instead of trying to compete with the Papeck Company.
Understood. Then, what about you, Anna-san?
Next, I asked Anna-san who looked like she had given up on everything, wondering if she could still even be called a slave.
I have no home to return to even after my release, so if you buy me, I will only do the job given to me.
W-well, thats fine for now.
Shes a girl who is probably aware that shes very capable, but she was sold to pay for her parents gambling debts, so it must be hard for her to have a better outlook right away.. I hope she gets better bit by bit.
And lastly, Charlotte-san, Ive already decided to buy you. No matter what your opinion is.
Charlotte seemed to be the most heartbroken, having fallen from being a noble lady to a mere criminal slave.
Now then, Ill have to negotiate with Lord Simon first.
