Kuro no Senki

"" Ugh!

Deneb and Aridead rushed into their room screaming.

"New furniture!

"Brand new sheets!

Deneb stood in the center of the room and new furniture...... a set of beds and desks, staring at the bed, Aridead cheeked on a brand new sheet.

We're not the only ones happy.

Gaugau, Bumo, Bumo, Shasha, joyfully colored voices echo in the new barracks.

Happily, naturally.

Because in the old barracks there were private rooms for deputies, two hundred captains, and six general soldiers, but in the new barracks more than one hundred captains are given private rooms, even general soldiers are given two rooms.

Since the retreat a month ago, the five hundred soldiers who have become Crono's men have slept in the old barracks, but the room is for two, and new furniture has been installed, so there's no one to complain about even the table.

"I can't believe this luxury is allowed!

"Master Chrono, it's awesome!

Chrono said he wanted to combine public utilities, but even after subtracting the neighborhood, he said, 'Master Chrono, great!' It is.

"If you taste this luxury"

"You can't go back to your old life."

Five years ago, I was terrible at the time of my assignment to the Marquis of Elakis.

The bunk bed made a thrilling noise when it hit the back of the bed, the sheets were worn out and full of bugs, and the only meal I ate twice a day was a thin soup like hard bread and water.

It also seems terrible now that treatment has improved, and I was satisfied that clothing and accommodation were guaranteed at the time.

Well, it was just a degree of satisfaction better than being a floater or being taken care of by a sanitary home.

"Speaking of which, where did Master Chrono go?

"Hmm? Looks like he went to visit Cado."

"Eh, that doesn't seem worth using."

Count Cado's territory is a territory bestowed on Chrono, who made his war effort a month ago, next to the west of the Marquis of Elakis.

According to Nicolas of the Pics Chamber of Commerce and familiar pedestrians, there are no fortified cities like Hashel just dotted with fishing villages.

"What if I said usage value?

Deneb and Aridead looked at each other,

"" Every day, I can eat fish!

When the menu was added, Deneb and Aridead raised their hands and rejoiced.

The front carriage runs north on the road along the sea and north.

The front keeps the wind from blowing from the sea, but you don't want a trip as comfortable as a boxcarriage.

Tilia and Leila look at each other uncomfortably, worried about the smell of Iso.

That's the same for Faye, who rides silva and horses and guards his surroundings.

The exception is about Viscount Eryl Sardomerik, who silently misses the book, but in her case also appears to be blocking outside information by immersing herself in the book.

"Is this the territory of Count Cad? There's nothing to be scared of."

"Isn't it enough to have the ocean? With the sea, fish can be caught, and even salt fields can be made. Of course, the harbor. I'd like to try pearl farming."

As Tilia points out, there is nothing in Count Cado territory, but fish and salt should be available cheaply because you don't have to go through other territories.

"... wait, Chrono. Are pearls something that can be farmed?

"According to books I've seen in the other world, when impurities are misplaced in shellfish, they're coated and made"

Ho, and Tilia nodded as impressed,

"No, that story is crazy. If you can have pearls as long as the impurities are misplaced, you don't need to farm them. Even if that reasoning is correct, wouldn't it take decades to establish a farming method?

I said it like I was rethinking.

"Uh-huh, why don't we go overnight? We have to establish a way to raise shellfish, and it's going to be a long way to get there."

"Dear Chrono, what is a salt field?

"I guess it's like how to make salt. According to a book I read when I was little...... First, I can put the water from the sea in a bucket and sprinkle it in the sand. Recover the sand by repeating it several times. Pour seawater into the recovered sand and simmer in a pan to remove salt"

"... the way Master Chrono said, wouldn't seawater just stain the sand?

Leila said, tilting her neck, as Chrono explained the content of comic book Japanese history as she remembered it.

"Chrono, your knowledge is missing."

"Ugh, sorry"

"Then it's not a problem to keep the seawater from staining."

It was Silva who was watching the sea in your seat who said so.

He is Goldie's brother and architectural expert...... a good place to run out as an architect but as a masonry he is a veteran with over a decade of career.

"... what exactly are we going to do?

"If you make a concrete frame, that solves it."

Uh-huh, Tyria roared.

Is it good in such an easy way? But it is said.

"Silva, was there a good looking terrain?

"Refreshing. It would have been nice to have coves and estuaries, but precisely, one is about a gentle curve. When this happens, we have to reshape the terrain."

According to Silva, a recessed terrain surrounding the three sides is desirable in order to create a port.

"Sounds like a lot of money."

"No, it shouldn't cost that much."

As Silva moved to the carrier, she took out the Japanese paper and began drawing a diagram.

"First, strike the wooden pile so that there is no opening between them along the coastline. Drain the water, cement the ground, and fill the shoreline. So, if you throw in one stone after another and you build a jetty, it'll take shape, right?

"How do we drain the water? A barrel?"

"Use the pump. Sounds like an elongated tower and spiral staircase to me imaginatively. It's not fixed. The part of the spiral staircase can rotate. When you grind it like this, the water scratches out."

When Tilia asked, Silva replied as she exchanged gestures.

"Maruta should cut down the stunned forest trees, and the stones... if we cut down the rocky mountains that were near the Loess Temple, we'll figure it out."

"You just don't have enough people."

Ah, and Chrono groaned.

Now it's February...... in March, you have to plow fields and sow seeds, so there's no reason to hire peasants as husbands, like when you built the new barracks.

"Uh-huh, can't you ask your men to do the work?

"Isn't that hard?

Let's talk to Mr. Minot, Chrono thought of his deputy's face.

At night...... Krono returned to the Marquis of Elakis territory and spoke to his deputy, who had just finished his class on Zion.

"Admiral, I can't do that."

"Yes, you are."

When Chrono talked to him, the deputy answered without a scratch.

Currently, there are more than one thousand three hundred and seventy soldiers in the Marquis territory of Elakis… Five hundred of them are new men who fought together in the retreat, and of the remaining eight hundred and seventy, three hundred and fifty are recruits not six months after they were assigned.

Less than 40%, including Kane's men, can be called ancient sentinels.

Of course, we know that Krono should give priority to training over building a port.

"Mr. Minot, don't you know anyone who's unemployed or something?

"... it's easy to think of, but I was wondering if you could honestly listen to me." (BUMBLE ~)

"We'll think about that after we meet."

Baron Bowties' territory is three days away from Marquis Elakis' territory by carriage south.

The settlement inhabited by an acquaintance of the deputy was east of Baron Bowties territory...... it existed so that it could be buried halfway in the forest at the foot of the mountain.

The size of the settlement is about fifty units, even if many are quoted.

There are no wells, but there are streams flowing nearby, so I don't think I need to worry about the water.

The house is the same size as a digging shed, but its size is oddly large.

Finally, the windows are elevated.

Residents are more likely to be minotaurs because this is the settlement where the deputy's acquaintance lives.

Thinking about it, I don't think the size of the door or the height of the window is unnatural either.

To the east of the settlement there are several mountains… not so high, but the slope is so steep that the white mountain skin peels out and scares…

"Admiral, you made it."

"You're tired of traveling in the carriage every time."

With the deputy's hand, he got out of the front carriage, and Chrono stretched out to untie his whole body.

"What is the inn going to do?

"I've got plenty of preserved food and enough for Nojuku."

Already in the evening, when I go all the way back to the city, the sun sets.

With solid bread, dried meat and a glass of wine in a barrel, it's fine, Krono replied Faye.

"I want you to rest assured that I'm going to be sleeping."

down from the horse, Faye said with his chest stretched.

"... a lonely village."

"This is what a colony of subhumans and beasts is all about."

The deputy stared at the settlement, telling him to throw up even in a sigh.

The dusk-dyed settlement was somewhere troubling.

"For generations, my clan worked at the stone cliffs... even if I said I would work, I would just cut out stones from morning to evening and carry them, that's all I do." (BUZA ~)

That's all the work, but I felt like something was included in the deputy's words that I'm sorry about.

"... I don't like living like that, and I joined the army." (BUZA ~)

Is it an insult to him to say you understand?

Cut down the rocky mountains and carry the rocks.

It's a dangerous job where the dead can come out if you do poorly.

Working from morning to evening, he dies in an accident at a mundane moment.

Work, work, keep working, die.

My father, my grandfather, was disgusted by what he had been doing for generations.

When I was wondering what to say, the sound of Catan and something falling.

When I saw the noise, one Minotaur stood near the entrance and exit of the cabin.

There's a barrel falling under my feet.

"Brother!" (pupa ~!)

"Aria" (Buba ~!)

As the deputy ran out, a Minotaur woman, called Aria, ran out somewhat late.

"... brother! Why, why, did you leave the house? '(pupa ~)

'I'm sorry, Aria. I... no, I am' (Bubba ~)

The deputy hugs Aria and mouths an interrupted apology.

"It's a touching reunion."

"... yeah, touching"

"Mother! Brother Minotaur is back! '(pupa ~!)

"Mi, mino! '(pupa ~)

When Aria screams, she's old from the cabin... not sure from the outside... but a Minotaur woman appears.

"Mommy!" (Bubba ~!)

"I was worried, Minotaur" (pupa)

The deputy held his elderly mother tight and zeroed tears from her polluting and circular eyes.

"It's a touching reunion."

……

Looking softly at her complexion, Faye was moisturizing her eyes.

"Minotaur! '(Bubble)

"Minot?" (also ~)

Minotaurs and others jump out of the cabin as they raise their voices with Bumobmo.

Did you finish your work at the stone quarry, or a while later, a horde of Zorozolo and Minotaurs appeared from the mountain side, and the corner of the settlement was filled with Minotaurs.

"Lord Minot decorated his hometown with brocade."

"Right."

"Minot!" (Bubba ~!)

"Daddy!" (Bubba ~!)

The minotaur of the naval eye scratched the other minotaurs and walked over, knocking his fist into the side of the deputy.

Grali and his deputy's body shake.

"Dad, where's my brother? '(Bubba?

'He's dead. It's been awhile since you left the house... and I got caught in a rockfall.' (Buzzing)

Oh, no, the deputy shrugged.

"Where the hell have you been walking? '(Bubba?

"I work in Marquis Elakis territory as a soldier."

Military, military...... Bumobmo and Minotaurs repeated.

"Faye, bring me the luggage that's loaded in the front carriage. Keep the food intact."

Chrono stood next to his deputy scratching Minotaur.

"Oh, my God, you are."

"I am Mr. Minot's boss, Lord of the Marquis of Elakis and my name is Krono. Always be taken care of by your deputy, Minot."

Deputy? Even the Deputy...... BumobMobMobMobMo and Minotaurs go out of their way.

"My son is... not human" (Bubba Bubba)

"Yeah, but he kept supporting me as my deputy... all the time"

"I want you to let me through."

Faye rubbed through between the Minotaurs, placing his mountainous luggage on the ground with Don.

"... not a big deal if you think about what Mr. Minot did to me. Faye."

All right, sir.

When Faye opened the package, the Minotaurs breathed. What was there were antimatter, lighting magic items, hair decorations for women, etc.

"... Mr. Minot, you'll have some stories to pile up, and don't take your time with your family today"

Can I help you? '(Bubba?

"Yeah, well, it's not a bad idea to worry about it, so we're gonna stay in the carriage."

Returning to the front carriage with Fay, the deputy was surrounded by Minotaurs and the others to meet with questioning attacks.

"Master Chrono cares about Lord Minot even to prepare gifts."

"I prepared that for when the solicitation failed."

I tried to fish with things because I wouldn't have a very good life.

"... Master Krono is subtly allergic"

"I'd love to, if I could just say the word. I can't cut you loose without a souvenir."

Chrono shrugged his shoulders, saying he wasn't able to promise a profit.

"What does Master Chrono intend to make his acquaintance with Lord Minot?

"Harbor building... once the harbor is complete, transfer the load from the ship to the warehouse, or leave the transport to you, or something like that"

Then I want to leave Shinoda's to me, but Krono clouded his words.

After all, it's Neck who can't promise a profit.

Even if we build salt fields, we don't know how much knowledge of Chrono works.

"Master Krono thinks too much on his own"

"It's more irresponsible if someone else's life hangs on them and they don't think about it."

I said, "I think too much alone."

Faye punctuated the words.

Master Krono is weak.

"Well, that's weak."

Chrono's strength doesn't even extend under Fay's feet. I can manage to beat Dwarf and Elf recruits, but if I'm a Beast recruit, there's too much health difference to beat.

"Master Chrono can't do anything alone."

"Well, yeah."

It's like security in the territory is preserved because Kane is looking around the streets, and Hachel's security is preserved thanks to Shiloh and Hyloh.

Without Elena, the accountant would have been a monkey, and without officials, he couldn't have been allowed to be a slave or a whorehouse.

Without the general, without Alyssa, without Scion, without Goldie... the more I think about it, the more I'm reminded I can't do anything alone.

"The disconnect is Chrono-sama, but when they heard about it, even Lord Mino thought about it a lot. I decided I wanted Marquis Elakis to come, thinking about what was important to my clan."

"Oh well... right"

Chrono narrowed his eyes and stared at the deputy surrounded by acquaintances.

Sooo, sooo restful breath echoes in the front carriage.

Declaring to be sleepless, Faye devoured her firm bread and, when rehydrated with wine, traveled to the world of sleep.

If you're just gonna fall asleep, why don't you still pillow on your escort's thick crotch? Chrono's gaze nailed to Faye's chest as he said.

You regretted that you should have kept your hands on Faye during the war.

Faye woke himself up when Chrono twisted his reasoning by saying that he was lost.

"Faye?"

"There are signs of people."

Faye reached for the sword.

'... are you awake?' (pupa?

I'll open it now.

When I opened the curtain of the front carriage, it was Aria holding the pot that stood there.

"Um, my brother told me I only brought preserved food... and I don't think it suits your noble mouth." (pupa)

"No, I'm glad."

When Chrono received the pot, Aria returned home happy.

The contents of the pan were... of boiled and crumbling vegetables served when the general was running the dining room and lodging... containing something like soup.

Chrono scratched Walrus to hold the pan and ate the soup by the hand,

"Master Chrono, you are behaving badly."

"... without a spoon"

Apparently, Aria's a little bit of a dick.

The next day, Chrono woke up in the noise.

As he crawled out of the front carriage rubbing his sleepy eyes, his deputy was about to be beaten and blown away by his father.

'... Dad, listen to me!' (Buba ~!)

"Don't be ridiculous! It's been a long time since we've been back... and you're going to sell off my family! '(Buba ~!)

Billy and angry tremble the atmosphere.

Something comes up and the Minotaurs ride themselves out the window.

'I'm not! I... think about everyone!' (Bubba!

"You're not thinking about birth! '(Bubba!

"Dad!" (Bubba!

The deputy exclaimed, but the minotaur of the ship's eyes walked out toward the mountain, not saying he had ears to listen to.

"... Don't Show Your Face Again" (Bubba)

Minotaur, out of the cabin, followed by his deputy's father.

"Mr. Minot."

"I'm sorry, Admiral. I stopped trying to convince you."

"What I care about is the injury?

Crono pointed out, the deputy wiped his nosebleed with the back of his hand.

"It's so hard to get inside an injury."

"Sorry. I could decorate my hometown with brocade... because of me"

"No, it's not the Admiral's fault."

The deputy stood up and stared at the mountain.

"Admiral, can't you just leave the persuasion to me?

"... ok"

Is it okay to let the deputy stand on the arrow, Krono got lost and decided to respect his resolve.

It should be taken for granted, the deputy's persuasion did not go a long way.

He beat me, cursed me, repeatedly putting me back out.

Initially, the favored villagers had also begun to malign their deputies so that they could be dragged by their father's sword screen.

Not many of them broke a favorable attitude or were interested in talking about deputy secretaries.

It was Aria, it was her mother, it was a relatively young minotaur.

Most of all, they didn't seem to be able to support the deputy.

Day five noon...... As the food became less comfortable, Krono sent the front carriage out to the city with Fay as his escort.

"Mr. Minot, are you okay?

"It's not as farty as this." (Bubble)

Despite being beaten too hard and deformed in the face, the deputy answered in the same tone as usual.

"... Mr. Minot, let's give up now"

"Admiral, that's all... I'll make sure to convince you! So just give me a little more time! '(Bubba! Bubba!)

Wouldn't that be the other way around? and Chrono stared at the pleading deputy.

"I'm glad Mr. Minot is desperate for you, but I guess it's hard for you to get that far"

'I... I'm not just persuading you for the Admiral. Admiral, look at this village.'

Chrono looked at the settlement.

"... this village is poor, as you can see. Even if I work desperately in the morning, I can't stop eating."

"But you have a stone-cut job, don't you?

"Well, stones that can be taken in the mountains are easy to use as building materials, but not everyone in the lord is like Krono or Claude." (Buchan ~)

Would you say that no matter how profitable it is, it will not be reduced to Minotaur?

No, maybe he hasn't even taken care to work safely.

"One in four children dies of illness before they grow up. Sold as slaves or died from injuries' (Buku ~)

"I can't promise you a profit."

"I don't want you to promise me a profit. I want my dads to dream. Tomorrow could be a good day, I don't mind dreaming to that extent '(Bu, Bu, Bu)

Tomorrow could be a good day.

That's more of an expectation than a dream.

But I don't even have that expectation.

"Then I can promise you."

'That's... Huh!' (Bumo!

Looking at the mountain, a single minotaur rushed into the settlement.

He was desperate to go around the house and speak up.

"What happened?

It's a rockfall! '(Buba ~!)

Chrono ran out with his deputy.

When Chrono and his deputy arrived, the stone cuttings were turning into hell no less than a battlefield.

A tough minotaur lays on the ground, and a scream echoes through the stone cuttings asking for help.

The moment he saw the giant rock in the form of a plate, Chrono could easily imagine what had happened in the stone cuttings.

Maybe he failed to cut out the rock up there.

The plate-shaped rock fell to the ground, and pieces of crushed scattered stone struck a minotaur in the process of working like a shotgun.

As a result, accidents chained up like nightmares.

"Calm down! Those who were safe, transport the seriously wounded! Minor casualties stay safe on their own!

Rescue should now be a priority over probing the cause, Krono shouted to the Minotaurs.

The Minotaurs stopped moving... following Chrono's instructions.

There's no reason to follow Chrono otherwise, but I can't afford to think that far into the minotaurs panicking.

"Mr. Minot?

"... Dad! Dad! '(Bubba!

"Mr. Minot, calm down!

Chrono spoke to his deputy as he was about to be blown away.

"... I, the Admiral."

"Calm down. If Mr. Minot panics, he won't be able to help what he can. I know you do, but my command skills are full of holes."

The deputy repeatedly took a deep breath and looked around again.

"Admiral, it's okay now."

"I'll help you."

Hey, the deputy nodded forcefully.

The rescue work turned into something that was orderly when the deputy regained his calm.

There were some rubbing differences, but the deputy would say they were trusted by the settlement people.

"... you shouldn't have let Faye go out and bought it out"

It's time, Admiral.

When Chrono blurred, the deputy said to comfort him.

Minotaurs are lying badly injured away from the rocky mountains.

Though minotaurs nurse the seriously injured family, they can only contain visible wounds.

"Oh, I wonder if rescue is over."

"Minotaur! Your father! '(Bubba!

Going to the voice-over, the deputy's father… the minotaur of the naked eye was caught between his lower body and a giant rock.

Rock... part of a plate cut out rock.

Maybe he didn't hit it directly, he got caught in a fallen rock.

I don't use the power of Minotaur to make it faint.

Get out of here! The rock is still falling. "

Looking up, the parallax and the pebble fall.

"... Admiral, please be easy" (Buku)

"You can't kill Mr. Minot's father. Everybody, back off!

Heavenly Prix Kagura, and Chrono muttered small.

Multiple magic starts, like when you destroyed a broken castle hammer in that war.

In an instant, vision is filled with letters, and the brain screams, demanding an operation above the limit.

Vision stains red and nosebleeds overflow.

I have a sense that I'm putting my life at risk.

It's not just the headache, it's even the bleeding.

You're a fool of the truth, or an optimist, if you think there's nothing to it with this.

"... Heavenly Pivot Kagura!

When Chrono screams, the pitch-black sphere moves to the rock.

When the chavon balls disappear so that they can play, the rocks that should have been there are also disappearing.

Thank you, Admiral!

"Thank you very much, just evacuate."

Chrono stepped out and bent his knee.

Is that it? and the missing voice between leaks.

"Admiral!"

Moving only his eyes and looking up, the rock was falling towards Chrono.

The size of the rock isn't so big, but if you hit it directly, you'll die.

You were ready to be killed on the battlefield or die on your stomach, but you weren't ready to be crushed to death.

"God, bless my blade!

A pitch-black blade cut the rock that was about to crush Chrono.

The rock split left and right, avoiding the chrono and rolling down the slope.

"Thanks, Faye."

I had a bad feeling he was coming back.

Chrono stood up with his shoulder borrowed from Faye.

Five dead, ten seriously wounded and twenty slightly wounded… The seriously wounded were subjected to divine authority, but remain in a coma.

The divine technique of "Goddess who makes it pitch black and conducts chaos" is supposedly not suitable for healing, so it is the current situation that we have to rely on our own strength.

By the end of the transport of the bodies and seriously wounded, the day was leaning heavily to the west.

The Minotaurs were gathered in a square in the middle of the settlement, even though they had not shown each other.

Guys, listen to me.

It was the deputy who cut the fire.

'Now I... work as a deputy under Master Krono here. I came back to the settlement because Master Krono needed manpower to build the harbor' (Buyabu)

When Minotaurs' gaze was pointed, Fey walked out to shelter Chrono.

Although Faye seemed likely to fall even now due to recoil using Kamikaze to the limit.

'Of course, that's not all. If you're here, there's no way forward.' (Bubba ~)

"If I go to that person, can I live a better life than I do now? '(also ~?)

'Yes, isn't there just a miserable life ahead of you now?' (pupa ~?)

The deputy took the gaze of the disputed Minotaurs from the front.

'Profits cannot be guaranteed. After building the harbor, it's a bet. Well, I think Master Chrono will do his best. However, it is possible that the power is not extended' (Bu, Bu)

Minotaur complains that the bet is irresponsible.

'I want to hear the opposite. You think you can get out of this situation without risking anything? One in four children born dies. Sometimes they are sold as slaves. Sometimes I die in a rockfall like today' (Bu, Bu ~!)

Only when the Deputy's voice was feverish.

"We have to bet to get out of this life."

Myra's figure of laughing high behind Chrono's brain passed.

Maybe Myra told me about her outlook on life at Crawford Mansion in Imperial City.

'I bet against Master Chrono. On top of that, I want to support Master Chrono with all my might.' (Bu 'ya)

Silence descended.

There is no way to stay here.

I can't make a decision even though I know I'm just forced to live a long life and be used as a labor force.

"... I Think I Can Bet" (Bubba ~)

"Dad!" (Bubba!

When the deputy called, the minotaur of the ship's eyes turned away with the smell of light.

'Whatever your heart is, Master Krono tried to help us without running. Isn't that worth the bet?' (Bubba, Bubba?

Slowly the ship-eyed Minotaur spoke to the inhabitants of the settlement.

Silence descends again,

"Yes, let's bet" (Bubba)

When one Minotaur raised his voice, it spread throughout.

The next day, the three seriously wounded took their breath away without waking up, and the seven woke up.

The Lords came to the settlement with escorts shortly after they had finished burying the three.

Lord...... Baron Bowties was dressed in frilly and decorated clothes.

He is in his mid-forties and seems aristocratic when it comes to Kaisel's beard being aristocratic.

"I came to inspect when I heard there was a rockfall, but for that matter, that's fine. Get back to work now."

Baron Bowties said away, looking down on the horses at the Minotaurs.

"... please wait"

"Who?

"I am a man named Chrono, who governs the Marquis of Elakis and the Count of Cado."

Baron Bowties narrowed his eyes satisfactorily as Chrono poked one knee and drooled his head.

"And what does that Marquis Elakis look like to me?

"Actually, Your Excellency would like a favor."

Chrono spoke of the territorial predicament as he exchanged gestures.

I will not forget to lie that there is a chronic shortage of labor and that pioneering will not proceed, and that a builder like myself will grope without the help of the old aristocracy.

"Ho, you seem to be giving yourself up for the new nobility. Come on, let's promise I'll help you out as much as I can."

"Thank you. Now, I'm afraid I just got your word, and I'd like you to give me the Minotaur of this land."

Hmm, and Baron Bowties narrowed his eyes to contemplate.

"My name is not just that. Faye."

All right, sir.

When Fay puts the box he took out of the front carriage on the ground, Gashan! And the sound sounded.

When Chrono opened the box, he tilted the box so that the gold coins contained therein looked like Barons Bowties.

"… few, but there are four thousand"

"Ho, ho"

Baron Bowties let his eyes shine.

"Come on, let's give up Minotaur with four thousand gold coins"

"Thank you"

There are fewer than two hundred minotaurs living in this settlement, the price of slaves is around twenty sheets per person is the market, and the calculation is that they are paying enough because it is five or sixty people who can be expected as a workforce.

Most importantly, it's as cheap as it gets given the added value, but Chrono didn't dare point it out.

The journey with less than two hundred minotaurs spanned seven days.

Minotaur, who was seriously injured, had recovered well with Fay's divine art, but still, he couldn't make him walk.

When we finally reached the Marquis of Elakis and dived through the gates of Hachel, a slave trader ran over to Chrono.

"Whoa! Dear Chrono, I've been waiting for you!

"Ahhh, long time no see"

"I heard Master Chrono was being asked to work, and I gathered slaves."

I wonder where the story leaked from, Krono tilted his neck.

"Take a look"

"No, I'm watching."

A slave trader ordered his men to box carriage... not a box carriage for passengers, but a carriage for slave transport with just a small window... When I removed the board of... Lizardman was staring at Chrono.

"It was a sudden matter, but we gathered about fifty Lizardmans. Of course, no assault has been committed, and we have written a medical certificate at Hashel's hospital."

"... what if I didn't buy it?

"You're going to sell them as mine slaves."

When Chrono asked, the slave trader replied with a full grin.

"How many?"

"I would like to say thirty gold coins per head...... but I came to collect them without saying no to Master Krono, so how about 25 gold coins minus the nuisance fee?

Uh-huh, and Chrono groaned. Maybe it is when I say ship over because I needed labor, but I don't like how they seem to push me. If you don't buy it, the aftertaste is going to be bad...

"Okay, I'll buy it. However, don't take the liberty of manipulating"

"Of course you are"

The slave trader answered instantly how far he knew.
