Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Episode 26 The lord’s foolish son

Due to the influence of the cold wave, there are few requests.

I’m taking a break because I still have time to handle an important quest.

“Yap, yap!”

On a rather chilly morning, Azu’s spirit resonated in the backyard.

Your swordsmanship skills have improved a lot compared to the beginning.

Although the target the sword is aiming for is firewood.

When I saw Azu about to start practicing, I ordered her to split firewood.

Not for use at home, but to make firewood for sale as a product.

Because you can train and prepare something to sell, it kills two birds with one stone.

Az was bewildered at first, but then she concentrated on making sure the training was going well and she created her pyre like flowing water.

Firewood is also used for cooking, so it is in demand throughout the year, but it is a popular product in cold weather like these days.

Sells well to those who feel that burning stones are expensive.

Even in cold weather, Azu continues to exercise to the extent that white steam can be seen.

Compared to when she was just brought in, she has changed a lot.

Your body is still like that of a girl, but your muscles have grown to the point where you can’t even remember your weak body.

When she wielded her sword, she looked like a first-class swordsman. Oh, did you look at it with a biased gaze?

I looked at Az for a moment.

Whenever a pile of firewood comes up, tie it up and move it to the warehouse.

When her firewood ran out, Azu sat down, breathing heavily as if her stamina was exhausted.

I handed him a drink.

“Thank you.”

Az took it and quenched her throat.

“Hold my hand.”

I held out her right hand.

Arzu held her right hand as I said.

Her temperature was high.

She gives strength, but Az doesn’t budge.

The moment she felt the hardness of a rock, strong pressure was applied to her right hand.

“Enough.”

“Yes, sorry. Are you okay?”

“No problem.”

I checked her tingling hand and let it go.

She seems to have become much stronger than me while working as an adventurer, defeating and training monsters.

To be honest, I am dubious about the phrase ‘adventurers become stronger by defeating monsters’….

I wouldn’t have gotten this strong with just training.

I hope to become stronger with this momentum.

If I become stronger, will I follow?

No, that doesn’t work. It’s too risky. I’m going to send only these guys.

Elsa, who was watering the fields, laughed when she saw Az and me.

What’s funny?

The vegetable harvest has increased since Elsa, who has experience in cultivating fields at the monastery, took over.

She picked some leafy greens for lunch and headed to the kitchen.

You can leave the tool shop to the staff.

Let’s go to the range heated with the magic stone of fire, and Alexia is infusing her magical power into her magic stone.

When the blunt reply came back to say that he was doing a good job and he massaged her butt, she responded with a flurry of excitement.

“This is the worst!”

I quieted her alexia and then made her replenish her magic stones.

Unlike the other two, he is a really lively guy.

The magic stone of fire has been charged with magical power up to the upper limit.

You work hard. Are you proud of that part?

Even former nobles are now slaves who do as they are told.

I took the chicken out of the fridge and trimmed it with leafy greens and rice.

Cut chicken, vegetables, and rice into appropriate sizes and boil them together in a round pot.

Seasoned dried root vegetables with salt and herbs.

Dried root vegetables sold in the cold season have a wide variety of flavors.

A dish in which chicken and rice are boiled in a round pot is common in this neighborhood. Because each house uses different root vegetables, they all taste different.

About 8 servings were completed.

It’s quite a lot, but the three slaves and I never had any leftovers.

Alexia makes 3 servings, Az and Elza makes 2 servings. And the rest is mine.

The cost of food is not cheap.

It doesn’t matter because I’m taking care of my hobbies and practical interests.

These days, the balance has been met, so it is enough to think of it as necessary expenses.

Elsa has a side job using holy water and miracles of healing, Az has chores, and Alexia is supplementing magic stones and life magic, so it is unexpectedly profitable.

After spending time like that, the next request is to escort the merchant.

You can only receive this mission if you have a good record, but you’ve finally come this far.

As an escort request takes a long time to be detained and it is difficult to predict what will happen, the reward is high.

You can receive half of the material sales amount of monsters you defeat while moving, and a bonus is given when all your luggage arrives safely.

I explained the precautions in advance and sent three slaves.

At first glance, the bracelet, a token of slavery, appears to be a decoration.

It seems that those who want to show off their slaves deliberately wear necklaces so that they can be seen at a glance.

But I’m satisfied as long as they listen to me and make money.

Now all we have to do is wait for the good news… It was going to be The day after the slaves left, the son of the lord made a huge announcement and caused a lot of trouble.

He intends to collect money from the residents to build a large statue of the sun god in the center of the village.

If they objected, they said they would confiscate their assets as it would be regarded as treason against the lord.

You’re laughing.

The merchant who owns the shop asks you to give more, dozens of gold coins.

Even if it’s not the Sun God, he’s collecting taxes in the name of grace that has allowed him to do business comfortably.

It is said that rumors are spreading here and there that it is a great thing.

I thought he was an idiot, but I never thought he would do this.

Who didn’t stop?

No, rather, the members of the Sun God Church may be taking over the surroundings.

You have to pay. Although it is a proxy, it is effective as long as the lord’s seal is stamped on it.

Should merchants unite in protest?

I hurriedly sent documents to merchants I knew.

… And now I’m in jail

Why did this happen?
