I was caught by humans and chained up
We were sold as slaves
Without being able to oppose the magic of the spirits who had become the human's slaves, everyone in the village was soon caught
My body is large and I became the cornerstone of the fight
By capturing that me, the formation collapsed
Only feelings of guilt were left in me, and I was mortified to only be able to watch while everyone was sold, wanting to escape (reality) at least a bit I closed my eyes
During that time a guy who said he would to buy all the guys here appeared
The humans were overjoyed to sell
The guy who bought us wore a veil and I couldn't see his face
He paid with a lot of gold coins, and I understood he was rich
(Such a thin guy, even if I just used a bit of strength I could break his bones……)
Such a guy became my master
We have to be subordinated to such a guy
I regret that I couldn't bear the torture and I said my name
My name is Tariaano Rodokuus
My alias is Taris
I'm a bear beastmen and I'm 32 years old
I had a bit of confidence in my swordsmans.h.i.+p, but that confidence was just easily crushed
Since I'm a male beastman, I'll probably be used as a meats.h.i.+eld
To buy this many slaves, is it to fight and die?
However, the women were bought as well
I'd heard that female elves are nearly always made into s.e.x slaves
Does this man need that many s.e.x slaves?
There are also female beastmen and female spirits
When we left the building I noticed that there were several knights around for some reason
Is this man a criminal?
I heard that human knights are strong
However, even with a sword pointed at him this master looks unperturbed and only urged us onto a carriage that could only be described as extravagant
On the carriage was an elf that wore high cla.s.s seeming clothes
He appeared to be around his mid thirties, but I heard that an elf's lifespan is long
He surely must be quite old
Once everyone was on the carriage, the door was shut
However, after a few seconds it was opened
"Come down"
The elf slave said to us and one by one we came down
Thereupon —
(Where, this place……)
A moment ago we were in a different place
Moreover, before my eyes was a large and looming castle
(Is master a guy who lives in this castle?)
The one who lives in a castle is a king
Is master a king?
"Until master returns, wait a bit"
The elf informed us, and went into the castle
"Rona, make some tea, it's master's command, twenty-one portions please"
"Eh? Tw,twenty-one portions?"
I could hear a surprised sounding voice coming from inside
"Dea, s.h.i.+n-sama is?"
After that I could hear a childish voice
It seems there is a child
The elf is Dea, and it seems the master's alias is s.h.i.+n-sama
"He will return in a bit, Rau come help carry tea, too"
"Ye~s"
How to say, there is a heartwarming feeling
That master is not a cruel master?
"Tea? Such a high cla.s.s good, will be given to us to drink?"
An elf who was bought together with me spoke
It seems the thing called tea is a high cla.s.s good
Is it normal for slaves to be given such a thing?
"Before giving us something to drink, I want these handcuffs off"
I could hear a female spirit mutter
Since spirit's have magic power, in order to seal it handcuffs are put on
Incidentally, I as well as the other beastmen, have on shackles that seal the beastform
We can move our hands relatively freely so it's not an issue, but since everyone is tied with chains, we can't really move
Only our heads can move (freely)
Besides the castle, there are several other buildings
They are houses much nicer than the house I lived in
Opposite there, is something like a large field, and in a place a bit separate from that is some large thing that I've never seen before
What is that I wonder? (TN: jungle gym prolly)
"Chains, handcuffs, shackles, off"
The moment I thought I heard a voice, the chains and shackles fell off by themselves
That made everyone altogether bewildered
(Ah, it's master)
At some unknown time, I could see master's figure (appear) walking over here
"Ah, s.h.i.+n-sama!"
From the opposite direction came a voice when I turned around there was a female beastman that was still a child that had a tray with a single gla.s.s on it
"Welcome back!"
The moment I think she's trotting over with a smiling face, she trips
The tea scatters with a bashyaa and the gla.s.s rolls onto the ground
The so called high cla.s.s tea spills
I wonder what punishment that child will receive
"Uu, it spilt~"
While calling out with a nearly crying face she tries to scoop up the tea, but doing such a thing has no meaning
Pa.s.sing us, master crouched down beside that child
"Rau, are you not hurt?"
(Eh-!?)
Not worrying about the tea or the gla.s.s, instead worrying about if the child called Rau is hurt
"Not"
"Go tell Rona that since it was spilled make it again"
"Okay"
Patting her head, Rau took the empty gla.s.s back inside
I could only look on, dumbfounded
No, the other guys were probably dumbfounded as well
However, seeing that you couldn't not be
That child called Rau doesn't appear to be a slave, she's even wearing expensive looking clothes
That treatment, rather than a slave, it's more like the treatment a pampered child receives
What in the world is this?
"s.h.i.+n-sama, welcome back"
The next person to come out, is another young looking male beastman
He's also wearing expensive looking clothes
In his hand he's carrying a tray with several gla.s.ses
"Rune doesn't need to carry things"
With that the master takes it
The male beastman's alias seems to be Rune
Somehow it seems Rune is even more cherished than Rau
"Distribute"
He pa.s.sed the tray to the nearby elf and pats Rune's head
To treat beastmen with that much care, I've never heard of anything like it
"Master, you have returned"
"s.h.i.+n-sama, welcome back. Um, I have made twenty-one portions of tea"
The elf from just now and a blue haired spirit appeared bringing tea
"Aah (Yea), Rona, sorry for suddenly asking"
(Apologizing to a slave!?)
Aside from surprise, I can't feel anything
The treatment I've heard slaves receive is completely different
One by one the gla.s.ses are handed out, the drink gave off a fragrant aroma
(This is tea….)
It's the first time I've seen it
When I taste it, although it smell like it's sweet
However it's extremely refres.h.i.+ng and not sweet
"Rona, here's a present"
Master pa.s.sed something to the spirit
"Eh!? A present for me?"
"Since I suddenly asked you to do work, this is a bonus"
He once again pa.s.ses over something
The bonus it bigger
"Wah!? This, such expensive spices!"
Rona lets out a surprised voice when he sees the bonus
Is he the chef?
"This is for Dea"
"Eh……? For me?"
It seems there is a present for the elf as well
To buy presents for his slaves, this master seems really unusual
"Since today I made Dea experience something scary"
(Scary experience?)
That is, what?
"Did something happen?"
It seems the male beastman is curious as well and he asks
"While Dea was waiting alone, he was surrounded by knights. Being alone with knights is scary, right?"
Somehow it seems it's not their first time meeting that knight
"Knight!? That scary person?"
Rau lets out a near shriek
Did (the knight) do something to them?
"That's right, it was the correct choice not to let Rau come"
She frantically nodded
Certainly, even for me human knights are an object of fear
"Something like a present……..for me who already has master's divine protection, even if I don't receive your worry…….ce,certainly, it was, scary….."
His words gradually became sputtered
Master gently pat Dea's head while he was like that
Since he was still wearing a veil I couldn't see his face, I can't see what sort of face he's making
"This is an antique book, since it uses an ancient language, it's probably difficult to read, but here is a dictionary for the language, so you can look up whatever you can't read"
With the antique book he pa.s.sed over a bulky book
I'd heard elves excel at academia, but they really do
"For Rau, is this"
"A sparkly ribbon! How pretty"
It's a ribbon with gems in the middle
A very expensive looking item
For such a small child, isn't it too much of a mismatch?
Even though the four are wearing slave collars, there are gems glittering on them
For a gem to be embedded in a slave collar, I've never heard of such a thing
"This is for Rune"
"Eh?"
It was a light grey cloak
I could tell it was made of expensive fabric
"Since this is something I made with my power, it has the same effect as armor, even a sword won't pierce it"
He showed a bewildered face at master's words
There's no way fabric can defend against a sword
Fabric like that would be cut up in a moment
"Before you were looking at armors, right? However, since armor would cover your face, instead of armor you can wear this. Well, I gave quite a bit of divine protection to Rune so something like this isn't really necessary"
As I thought, Rune is quite cherished it seems
Even though he's a beastman
Moreover, a wolf who would normally be sent to fight at the vanguard
I would also be used in a similar way though
After patting Rune's head for a while, he finally turned in our direction
He still hasn't subordinated us yet
He released the chains as well as the handcuffs and shackles, everyone hadn't run away due to being bewildered
So much so that the scene I had just now seen shocked me
"I'm letting you all live here. Not as slaves, so there's no need to subordinate to me. Aside from flying demons, there should be no threats to your life. There are three rules here, don't kill anyone, don't discriminate by race, and don't touch my things. Any guy who violates them will be thrown into a demon king's castle"
Different from how he just was, he indifferently gives an explanation
Besides that, to say he would throw us into a demon king's castle……
If we violate a rule it seems only death awaits us
"There are only ten houses. Two or three people can live together and if you want to cultivate a field, do as you like. I will prepare tools and seeds, there will be food provisions, and water will come out if you turn the faucet"
"Faucet?"
What's that?
Don't you have to bring water from a well or river?
"Ah—…… Dea, explain it to them later"
"Yes"
Perhaps because explaining was troublesome, he pa.s.sed it off to Dea
"If you don't want to live here, quickly escape now. I won't stop you"
Since he didn't subordinate us, if we want to escape we can
However, where can we escape to?
Even if I returned to my village, there would be no one there
To begin with, I don't even know where here is
I don't have a sword or armor and if I meet a human or demon I have no means (to defend myself)
"Eh, escape you say…..buying this many people, was there no meaning?"
"No, since choosing seemed troublesome, I just bought everyone"
Master's words answered Rune, I wasn't the only one surprised
(What, such a buyer…..)
Though you have to be extremely wealthy to do something like that…..
I wonder if I should be relieved at not being bought by someone strange?
Though this master seems quite strange as well
"If there's anything insufficient or anything you want, then tell Dea"
He informs us so and holding not Rau but Rune up in his arms, he goes into the castle
We could only stand dumbfounded while watching that departing back
