After the eventful night, Yozora returned to his original world, Inside the old shop, he couldn't help but tear up a little, With a heavy heart, today he decided to temporarily close his shop, closing the wooden sliding door, he stuck on an announcement using a paper. Although he closed the shop, it doesn't mean he intends to close it forever, if he ever got something to sell here from another world, he could reopen the shop again with a more unique product.
In the meantime, Yozora plan to stay more on another world, Before departing, he ensures that all of the house and shop's valuable is hidden inside the bracelet since the storage system is large enough to fit two room and Yozora doesn't have that much value. He also made sure that the water meter and electric breaker were shut, so that while he was away, his bills wouldn't pile up.
Using the bracelet, he went back to the fantasy world which was called Solis according to Father Claudio de Sousa, This time, he appeared inside his room in his new store which is also his new home. His room was decorated with various furniture and had a carpet too which is considered fancy in this world, though he only bought it in the nearby Home Depot for a cheap price.
The lighting for the store though was simple LED lights all of which were battery-powered, he needed foreman Ginza and his group to install them, all of the course curious as to what kind of item they were putting on the store ceiling, rooms, and places that need lights, they all baffled when Yozora turned on the switch to make them light since most common lightning in houses were only candles, kerosene lamps, and expensive crystal lightning.
They didn't delve too much for information which Yozora appreciated, he also planned to look for a new source of electricity so he could use his freezers and refrigerators.
Going downstairs, Yozora's store was still closed, It was supposed to open today but Yozora forgot something important, he didn't have a single employee! While he can still run the store, there is a problem, due to his meetings with various guild masters and Father Claudio, Yozora's reputation and fame rose and almost everyone in the town knows of him.
Rumors of his products and prices already spread like wildfire, and the feast the other night further spread the rumors, now he certainly in need of employees and someone he could completely trust.
Without any idea as to where to hire people, Yozora decided to ask advice from Merchant's Guild, exiting the establishment and locking the double door, he walked towards the building of the guild, at this point, the common folk was used to seeing him, the children was also fond of him since he often gave them candies when he has some on his pocket.
It just took him 10 minutes of walking before finally reached the building, Entering it, he was faced with the same clerk he met before, her name was Luiza de Palma, Seeing Yozora entering the guild, Luiza waved at Yozora he waved back.
"Hi Yozora! You've been coming here often, Are you perhaps here to see me~" Luiza jokingly said, Ever since the two met, they became much more open and friendly to each other.
Yozora only gave a light chuckle to the brown-haired beauty, She was certainly beautiful with ample breasts but Yozora was still not open to having a relationship, "Haha, Luiza you tease! I only came here since I need help regarding employing people in my store, I just realized that I need a helping hand right now haha!"
Luiza only facepalmed her face, "You should have done that long ago..."
Her face then turned serious, "Yozora I advise you to not employ common folk in your store, at least, not yet. As you know you another world, you must be careful as to who you acquainted with, they might take advantage of you or worse... Anyway, for now, you should just employ slaves, since the master-servant contract is something that cannot be broken, It also comes with less risk since slaves can't harm you even if they want to."
Yozora already thinks of employing slaves as well, but his modern moral sense makes him to be reluctant, and with Luiza's serious warning, he might set aside his morals, or else in the end, he will the one who will risk his newly opened business.
"Do you know anyone who can help me get slaves?" Yozora asked.
Luiza clasped her hands, "Yep! I know someone, near the town docks just next to the town shipyard, Madame Marta del Ferrer, she is the only one in the town that is in the slavery industry, she's also an expert in the field and someone I know,"
Luiza then gave Yozora a piece of paper, the paper specifically was something he gave to the guild as gift, as well as pens and more, "Just hand this to Madame Marta, she will help you with this,"
Luiza gave the piece of paper with a bright smile, Yozora couldn't help but blush, no matter what, he was still a male, a single nonetheless, and Luiza's womanly charms were simply his hormones could not ignore.
Yozora awkwardly cleared his throat, "Thank you Luiza, I will certainly repay this debt,"
Luiza smiled, "Then, how about you take me for dinner next week on my day off?"
Yozora was stoned for a moment, was this a date proposal? Ever since he became an adult, despite his somewhat handsome look, no one invited Yozora on dates because of his gloomy behavior. Now that he was faced with such a scenario, he couldn't help but be serious, there's no way he could reject such a beautiful woman who also helped him many times.
With a genuine smile on his face Yozora replied, "Alright, next week on your day off, it's on me." This time, it was Luiza's turn to blush.
"That's a promise alright! Now go, I'll see you next week." Luiza bid farewell to Yozora with a blushing face which did not go unnoticed by her coworkers.
...
Yozora followed the direction Luiza told him, when he reached his destination, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the building looked suspicious for a slave merchant, first of all, the design was simply something he could only see in the red light district of his original world, albeit this one was powered probably by magic, shaking his head, Yozora entered the establishment.
Out of nowhere, a woman appeared in front of him, Yozora was instantly frozen upon looking at the woman, especially her body, dressed in a maid uniform, albeit showing so much skin especially her leverage that would spill on the tight clothing she wore, the long white over the knee sock and short black skirt, she was also very beautiful, her sharp green eyes that penetrates whoever she looks on, long blonde hair and finally that mature look on her face.
The maid looked curiously at Yozora before approaching too close, "Is there something wrong Master?"
'M-master!? Wh-what...' Yozora's eyes finally fell on down, 'It's touching me', the maid's large beasts touched Yozora's chest with only thin clothing holding it from bursting out.
With a quick step back, Yozora handed the paper to the maid, "I-I was recommended to go here..."
"Hmp, no fun!" The maid pouted before finally looking into the content of the letter, "Ah, from Luiza, follow me the master, I'll get you to the madame."
Walking into the building further, Yozora saw a sight he will never forget in his life, it also made him fight the desire to its maximum and not to fall from grace. Upon reaching the third floor, the maid knocked and entered without waiting for a reply, Yozora followed suit, the room was also well decorated in light and bright colors, in front of him was a woman dressed in a red gown complementing her fiery red hair and eyes, she glanced over the two while signing some papers.
"What is it, Yasmin? Who is that gentleman with you?"
The maid, Yasmin, approached Madame Marta's table and handed the paper that Luiza had given him, Reading the paper, the madame smirked, "Heh, so you are the one that garnered my dear Luiza's attention hmm?"
Madame Marta stood from her fancy red chair as she enticingly approached Yozora, Yozora had to use all of his brain power to not fall from grace before he calmly replied, "Ah yes, nice to meet you, I'm Yozora Asa, I recently opened a store in the main street of the town, I came because Luiza recommended me here in hope to find suitable slaves to help me in my store."
Madame Marta ignored Yozora as she circled him, "Heh, I'll give you a solid 8, perhaps you could work more on yourself to get better."
'What?' Yozora was becoming more confused, 'What's up with these people?', he thought.
Madame Marta then turned his attention to Yozora, "Slaves for your store huh? I offer you the best in this town because I'm the only one in the industry here! Fufufu~."
She then turned to the maid, "Yasmin, help this boy to get his slaves~"
"As you wish Madame," Yasmin then aggressively grabbed Yozora's arm as she squeezed his arms into her ample boobs while guiding him to the slave cells.
Yozora felt like he was in heaven and hell at the same time, they then reached the slave cells, and to his surprise, the cells looked like a more private room with complete furniture, inside the cell there were already two different lines of slaves with an iron collar on their necks which are also emitting a strange light which he could only conclude as magic.
"Here we go, you can choose whoever you want, as you can see there are two lines of them here, all of them are capable of reading, writing, and simple mathematics, some were from other races which are stronger than your average human."
Yozora then began to ask questions about the slaves, he was looking for the most capable he could get, In the end, he decided to take six slaves, four were males, who came from the same race known as beastmen, two of them were former soldiers caught in the war so they can be employed as guards for his store, the other two beastmen will be responsible for moving things and stuff, while the other two were women, one is a light brown hair girl who was exceptional in mathematic, the other one was an elf to his surprise, but apparently, she was a former mercenary before getting caught participating in a war and was punished, she has green hair and purple eyes, a beautiful face which is perfect for attracting costumers.
Finalizing everything, Yozora was accompanied by Yasmin who was still clinging to him into her own office where he signed a document, "You will be paying 30 gold for all of them, but from now on you have to take care of their well-being, abusing the slaves in punishable by the law!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of them," Yozora replied.
"Alright, they will be delivered this noon to your store, Until then you have to wait," Yasmin said as he pulled Yozora closer.
Yozora breaks loose from Yasmin, "Haha~ thank you, Yasmin, then I'll be returning to my store,"
Yasmin only smirked, "See you Yozora, hopefully, we can know each other better fufu~"
Yozora only chuckled before leaving the building in a hurry, 'Any more time I spend there, I will become insane!'
Yozora acquired the much-needed employees he needed but also experienced an unforgettable moment in his life.
