Because I had promised, I approached the master of the two slaves with a smile on my face. Initially, this filthy person was very rough, even towards wanderers like us. Well, why should I expect any decency from the lower class residents?
Ken, who listened and watched, witnessed me being scorned by the master of the slaves, to the point where his sharp gaze with the glint of a knife from under his cloak was ready to slit his throat.
However, as I didn't like to linger, I immediately threw a bag containing 10 gold coins at his face. This angered him, but when he glanced at the contents of the bag, his facial expression changed to surprise, and a moment later, he turned to look at me. The gaze and attitude he gave immediately changed.
Politely, he handed the two slaves over to us, along with the exchange of his slave contract, which was similar in principle to the blood contract I made with the antique shop owner.
After the exchange process of the master of the two beastman slaves was completed, the man ran joyfully towards the alley, while the chains binding the necks of the two beastman slaves were handed over to me.
"Hmm, as I expected. Money is a good means of communication, on Earth and even in isekai," I muttered after taking a deep breath. I glanced at the two beastman slaves, the brother and sister, who seemed frightened seeing the intensity of my gaze. Indeed, I asked Ken to cut my hair that was originally hiding my eyes, making me look fresher.
Well, that's my reason for covering my eyes with hair. My fierce gaze, where my eyes seemed to devour everything. That's what my grandfather said after he finished training me.
"Alright, Ken. As promised, take care of both of them."
Ken nodded and began to approach the beastman brother and sister with a friendly smile and a kind gaze.
/--/
"Don't worry, we won't do what the previous master did..."
Ken said, trying to reassure the frightened beastman brother and sister. Seeing their condition, it seemed like they were experiencing severe trauma. Especially with their recent torture and humiliation in public, with no one able to help them due to the rules of this world. In this world, the strong survive, and the weak are oppressed.
By the way, common knowledge portrays beastmen as tough fighters, although their methods are very wild, like typical carnivorous animals. This is understandable because they are the human version of the wild animals we know.
"Uuh..."
The younger sister, Ruri, made a painful sound, accompanied by gasps and a pale face.
"Ruri!"
Her older brother, in panic, stroked her forehead and hugged her to make her body warmer.
Ken, seeing this, felt that the younger sister was suffering from a high fever, and the whip wounds worsened her condition. Without hesitation, he approached Takeru to ask for the first aid kit, then turned back to approach the beastman brother and sister.
"Forgive me, let me check on your sister."
The older brother, reluctantly, allowed his sister, called Ruri, to be examined by Ken. With his military experience, Ken provided first aid. He cleaned Ruri's whip wounds with alcohol to remove dirt and prevent infection. Then, red medicine and cotton were used to alleviate the pain from the wounds, and everything was wrapped in bandages.
To save time, Takeru also helped in treating the older brother. Initially, the older brother felt scared when he saw Takeru because of his sharp gaze. However, his gaze began to soften as Takeru gently treated his wounds, despite the stinging sensation from the alcohol. After finishing the treatment, they both took the brother and sister to the inn, riding horses to get there.
There was a funny reaction from Ruri's brother, who seemed like it was his first time riding a horse, so he looked stiff and almost fell if not assisted by Takeru. The position ended up with Takeru with the older brother and Ken with the younger sister.
When they arrived at the inn, Takeru immediately booked a spacious room, even though the cost was almost 20 gold per month. However, because he had the money, he ordered the room without hesitation.
At this moment, they just needed to clean the dirty bodies of the older brother and sister. Takeru asked the innkeeper to buy clothes for them to wear because their previous clothes were dirty and could worsen the condition of the younger sister. Dirty clothes could carry germs and bacteria that could enter her wounds.

After finishing cleaning their bodies, Ruri's condition gradually improved. The expression of pain softened, and Ruri slept with a peaceful expression.
The older brother, whose name was revealed to be Rakrak, was very grateful and even bowed down in front of both of us. Ken reassured them gently, while I still stuck to my previous principles. If they were useful to me, I would use them. If not, I would still maintain the principle of unnecessary burdens.
Currently, Ken is looking for food. Although we could ask the innkeeper to deliver food, I took this opportunity to gather more information about the Monster Mist Forest near the city. Therefore, I asked Ken to look for this information.
Thus, only Rakrak, Ruri, and I were in the inn. It was already night, and I suggested that they should sleep soon, as children should not stay up too late. Seeing their peaceful expressions while sleeping also brought tranquility to my heart. Although I would use them for my own benefit, at least the results of my work brought blessings to them.
"Okay, let's make something else today."
It would be a waste if this uniform ability was not utilized. Therefore, after the cooldown period ended, I always created something. In the last 6 days, there were already 6 items that I created:
-Tactical Food Supply Box
-Weapons Supply Box
-Ammunition Supply Box
-Medical Supply Box
-Equipment Supply Box
-Armored Combat Vehicle, Burlak
I created all these items during the journey, and they all fit into the inventory. This system is truly practical, with an inventory that has a limited size but is very efficient. Although its size is only 20 slots, I've already used 9 slots. This is the reason why I created these boxes, a brilliant idea. Instead of creating them one by one, it's better to do it all at once. I envisioned supply boxes commonly used by the military to provide supplies to their frontline troops. I encountered such items when visiting my father's workplace. Besides being practical, it facilitates the identification of items, and the size is not a hindrance in this inventory space. Even a 6x6 vehicle can fit into it.
The reason I created the vehicle is, of course, we have to explore the depths of the forest to assess whether it is suitable for habitation. No matter what I have to do; I will make it suitable, even if I have to slaughter all the monsters there.
"Now, let's imagine navigation equipment."
After putting on this magical uniform, I immediately imagined navigation tools in a portable briefcase.
