Hi, I'm Taishi. I'm Taishi sitting in front of the three princesses who are talking about something in a low voice while touching her forehead. It's been about fifteen minutes, but could you forgive me soon?
"Mr. Taishi"
"yes"
It seems that the discussion is over. I straighten my back and reply.
"Does Taishi-san intend to eliminate the existence of slaves from this world?"
"No, I'm not thinking that far. However, I don't think it's a good idea for descendants to be slaves because they're descendants of slaves. I have no intention of denying debt slaves or criminal slaves."
I also answered seriously to Marle who asked me with a mysterious face. I don't think there are any problems, but debt slaves also play a role as a safety net in this world. I think it's like a prison sentence for a criminal to be dropped into a criminal slave and used for various purposes. Well, it seems that criminal slaves are often used up, so unless they're very lucky, it's practically like the death penalty.
"However, there are also slaves who have become like that.
"I wonder if we can do it well. Even now, isn't it like we're looking after food, clothing, and shelter? If the number of people increases, of course there will be more troubles. At least we can provide food, clothing and shelter, and for some reason there are a lot of jobs, right?
"It's true that we don't have enough people, but..."
"Isn't it an urgent task to increase the number of workers in the nation?
"However, you forcefully buy slaves with masters and bring them with you, right?
Tina glares at me with cold eyes. Yes, sorry.
"As for the slaves who were forcibly pulled from where their masters are, if they want to go back to their original masters, I would like to return them. For the time being, there's a meaning in separating them from each other, because on the surface there's a chance that you won't be able to tell your true feelings in a place where your husband is with whom you've built a good relationship."
Besides, there may be people among the people who spend their time as slaves who can't live without relying on someone else. There may be people who dare to live as slaves.
At that time, I will move to make my wishes come true as much as possible.
"I'm very aware of causing trouble. I'm completely selfish about slaves, sorry. But there may be slaves like Piruru who were kidnapped from somewhere. I thought that I was the only one who could send her back to her hometown...no, maybe I was the only one.That's why I wanted to do what I could. I can't say give it up."
After hearing my excuse, the three looked at each other and sighed deeply.
"Taishi-san. Taishi-san is a hero who possesses tremendous power. But in the end, he's just a human being. Taishi-san doesn't have the obligation to shoulder everything. I have to save all the misfortunes that I see. , there is no such thing?」
"That's right. If the master scoops up other people from their misfortune and becomes obsessed with it, when will the master himself be happy? Continue to work at the expense of yourself. When will I be happy?"
"You should make us happy, not strangers. And above all, you should make yourself happy. I didn't quite get the hang of it, but now I understand the meaning of those words.
"Ah... I'm sorry."
I can't say anything after being told by the three, yes.
"I understand about this matter. I'm worried, but let's do it well. Of course, I'll have Taishi-san do his best, but... is that okay, Taishi-san? Next time, I'll do the same thing. If you do, I'll punish you severely, right?"
"Punishment, is it?"
"It's a punishment. I had Kusuha-san tie me up and give me a special cocktail potion... I can't say anything more than that."
"I'm scared"
Marle's special cocktail potion is scary... I was shivering. What the hell are you going to do after administering such a mysterious thing? I'm really scared, so please bear with me.
"Mariel, is the sermon over?"
"Well, it's pitiful to bully Taishi-san too much. Leaving aside the issue of slavery, the issue of prisoners of war, the compensation issue, and the issue of trade are not bad stories. If you do, the Brave Demon Federation will be able to control all trade in the center of the continent."
"It looks like it will be difficult to adjust… let's do it well."
"Umu, take care of yourself."
I was glared at by three people. She almost flinched. Forgive me.
"Well, that's fine. We'll do what Taishi-san wants. Don't worry."
"Yes, I will do my best.
"It's worthwhile to procure funds and supplies properly. Compared to the time when I was rotting in the castle and praying in the monastery, my current life is certainly exciting and fun."
"thank you very much"
I sat on the ground for the time being. Yeah, to be honest, I can't run a country by myself. The difficult thing is to rely on these girls who have received such an education and who have the connections to solve various problems when they arise.
All I can do is defeat foreign enemies, build a house with earth cannons, and prepare food, money, and food. I don't have the know-how to use people to do something or govern a city or country.
A healthy life for me and the citizens of the Brave Demon Federation is maintained by the hard work of my wives... We must not forget to be grateful.
"finished?"
I heard a voice behind me and turned around to see Melkina and Karen peeking out from the corridor. It's kind of cute, isn't it?
"It's over. We'll talk a little more, so please take Taishi-san with you."
"Okay. Let's go, Taishi."
"You should let us hear the story of your bravery."
The two held me on both sides while I was sitting on my knees and made me stand up. I should have been sitting on my knees for quite some time, but my legs aren't numb at all.
The restaurant was dragged by the two. It was before noon when we started moving in the morning and returned from the Geppels Kingdom. After that, I reported various things to Marl and the others, and now it's just past noon.
In other words, it's lunch time.
"Today is a sandwich."
"It's being transported to Marle's sisters by now."
Today's menu looks like sandwiches and salads. Sandwich ingredients seem to be vegetables, grilled meat, potato salad, and so on. The salad seems to use a Japanese-style dressing that uses ponzu sauce.
"Thank you for your hard work.
Kusuha and Sherry were the only people gathered in the dining room.
"What about everyone else?"
"Shetan and Sister Deborah are a prisoner of war soup kitchen"
"Fram, Elmina, and Rifana are also outside for managing prisoners and so on.
"This sandwich was made by Deborah in the morning."
"I see... well, let's talk while eating. Itadakimasu."
After everyone eats itadakimasu, we bite into the sandwiches. Hmmm, delicious.
"So, what did the master do while preaching to the young ladies?"
"Um... that's it."
Regarding the acceptance of prisoners of war and reparations, he passed through the demands as Marle and the others had told him in advance, but in addition to that, he explained that he was angry at him for requesting the delivery and trade of demi-human slaves on his own. He blurted out that he cut down a large number of knights and soldiers when he rushed into the royal castle. It's not a matter of rubbing while eating.
"That would make me angry..."
"I don't think it's a bad thing. There will be various troubles."
"It can't be helped that the Mar sisters are angry."
As expected, there is no overall positive opinion, and there are many negative opinions. Isn't it?
"What made you want to do that?"
"Why, huh... one is the centaurs. I helped and protected only a part of them with Clover, right? The resistance forces of the centaurs remaining in the Kingdom of Geppels would have been exterminated, and they were captured. I thought that the centaurs would probably not be treated decently.In that case, I should probably take care of them all.
"I see. Then what are the other demi-human slaves going to do?"
"I heard that there are human slave traders who come from outside the Great Forest to kidnap demi-humans. But I thought it would be fine to get it. Actually, we don't have enough manpower... well, it's all for my self-satisfaction."
Nothing but my selfishness. Human slaves have been abandoned. The reason why I limited it to demi-human slaves is the problem of numbers and the problem of affinity. Most of Clover's inhabitants are demi-humans such as beastmen and centaurs. He thought that demi-humans would be more acceptable to the residents than humans.
When I told them about my thoughts, in the end everyone was convinced.
"Taishi is good-natured"
"Yes, you're a good-natured person. But isn't that a good thing? You want to make as many people as possible happy, right? I think it's a good thing."
"That's right. I don't think it's a little shallow, but the master should do as he pleases. The concubines will only support that."
"I'm looking forward to seeing more and more people."
"You guys really…why do you approve of me so much?"
I don't know what to say, it's too much affirmation, and it's uncomfortable on the contrary. Somehow, this kind of atmosphere makes me feel uneasy.
"It's not like our concubines are completely affirming the master without thinking. If what the master is trying to do is evil, I will stop it even if it means putting my life on the line."
"Yes.
"Suddenly heavy!? It's heavy, you guys!"
"Evaluating the master's power that much...is not the same. It means that he actually feels it. I guess there are only gods."
'Big responsibility'
Contrary to the three who calmly made such heavy remarks, Sherry's expression was somewhat depressed.
"I don't like that kind of talk..."
"Don't worry about that. Your master is a very good-natured person, so it won't happen in the first place. Rather, it's our concubines who should be careful."
"Yes. If you don't want Taishi to do something terrible, we have to be careful. If anything happens to us, Taishi will surely go on a rampage."
"Yeah... Don't let Taishi do something like today. I feel sorry for Taishi."
Karen made a strange statement, so I turned my gaze involuntarily. Her amber eyes stared at mine.
"Even if you hide it, it's useless. Both Sherry and I can smell it."
"...I see"
Apparently, it was a futile resistance to blurt out the content of the rampage. I thoroughly purified it, but it seems that the beast man's sense of smell can't be fooled. The feel of the sword that slashed dozens of soldiers through my mind. I don't think there are any dead people, but the feeling of slashing people isn't very pleasant.
"You look like you're thinking about something."
"My older sister Marle said that when Taishi has a depressed expression, it's best to spoil him."
"Fumu, then let's pamper her to the fullest with our concubines."
"Good."
"I also do my best"
Everyone will lead you by the hand and take you to the living room where you will be pampered to your heart's content. She had Melkina put her on her lap, moffed Karen and Sherry, and was hugged by Kusuha and healed by her breasts. I feel like I've been spoiled like this since I came back.
"If I go wild and act like I want outside, and when I come home and get pampered like this, I'm going to be a useless person sooner or later."
"It's okay, even if you become a useless person. Then we will feed Taishi."
"That's right. If the number of people increases from now on, it will be busy, but once it calms down, all you have to do is trade and cultivate the surroundings, and the Brave Demon Federation will be safe."
"Me and Sherry turn Jukai into a field."
"It would be perfect if everyone could have children."
With Melkina and Sherry on the left and right, Karen is placed on his lap and Kusuha hugs him from behind. What a great lineup. Especially the softness of the back of the head is the best. The feeling of sinking is also in excellent condition. boobs are great
Marl and the others came after finishing the discussion that they were spoiled like that.
"It's cheating. I also want to replenish my energy from Taishi-san."
"Um, me too."
"Me too. I get tired when I use my head."
Three Marl and others will stick to me, replacing the four who have stuck to me until now. Melkina and the others seemed satisfied, and started knitting something and brewing tea. Fumu, Melkina is also doing some sewing after learning from Kusuha.
"Melkina seems to be sewing bibs for babies these days."
"Speaking of babies, you also have to decide on a name."
"That's right. In the case of nobility and royalty, they often give their ancestors names, but..."
The controversy over the naming of the unborn baby has erupted.
"... what are you doing?"
When the sun was about to start to set, the Goddess of Salvation appeared in the living room, which was covered in corpses. Pieces of paper with name candidates written on them are scattered around the room, and a book that I was trying to use as a reference is lying around. We're rolling too
"No, this is the end of the debate over what to do with the baby's name..."
Flam is stunned by the devastation in the living room. I can't explain how it turned out to be so violent. There are also pregnant women, so it's like playing around. In fact, the two of them are just sitting on the sofa and lying on their backs. It was just a little skinship with primordial magic. Among them, Nera, who has the lowest magical power, and Kusuha, who has the highest magical power, have faces that people can't show.
The former were knocked down with one blow, while the latter were mercilessly gathered and crushed. I? See, if I go all out, I'll knock everyone out in one hit. The fact that I'm safe now is the best proof, isn't it?
"What are you doing... it's almost time to transfer the prisoners, so please."
"Okay, welcome back Deborah!
"Oh, I'm home—Eh? What is it?"
"Excuse me Deborah, I have work to do, so I'll leave it to you."
Flam and I quickly leave the place. It's a full sprint. I think I heard Deborah's angry roar behind me, but I'm sure it's just my imagination. Come on, work, work!
