Chapter 056 - Condition for the Master

Author’s Note

The Black Elf chapter isn’t a trans.e.xual (and again, I have no intention of doing any trans.e.xuals).

Hypothetically, another reincarnator appears; I intend to have them have the same s.e.x as they did in the previous world.

I apologize for having written in a way that caused misunderstanding.

“..., this is the bedroom ?”

When I woke up, I was in the bedroom in my house.

I recognized the canopy above my bed.

I got myself up.

Outside, the sun is setting; it’s becoming dark.

“...To think that I get to hear the name ‘Tanaka Kouji’ in this world.”

No, because I died, reincarnated and got to keep my memories from the previous world, I thought that there are other people like me too. But to think that it’s someone from the same world...

I didn’t think that the name of someone related to me would come up.

“Just who is that Black Elf?”

No matter how hard I try to dig through my memories, I can’t remember anything about her.

She knew my name but not my face -- or so was her att.i.tude.

Could there have been someone that let her know that I’m a reincarnator?

If so, then how does that person know I’m a reincarnator? I don’t understand their motive; why didn’t that person come and meet me themself? Moreover, knowing that ‘Tanaka Kouji’ and I are related, could it be that the person behind her is ‘Tanaka Kouji’ himself ?

If so. then why did he not not come see me himself? Generally, how does he know I’m the reincarnated ‘Hotta Youta’ ? It’s unthinkable that he figured it out just from the fact that I develop guns...

I sat up on the bed and let idle thoughts run over my mind.

No matter how much I think it’s useless.

To know the answer, I can only ask Xiah herself directly.

I sighed, got out of the bed, and went down the living room on the 1st floor.

Snow, Chrisse and Meiya were drinking tea.

Seems like they were waiting for me to wake up.

Snow, who has good ears, knew I was coming down from the 2nd floor, then she spoke with a worried expression the moment I enter the room.

“Is it okay to get up already ?”

“Yea, I’m okay. My bad for making you all worried.”

I patted Snow’s head.

Chrisse poured me a cup of warm chacha. I patted her head too.

I flopped down on the sofa and drank the chacha in one go.

The leaves’ scent, the slightly astringent taste and the warmth have revived me.

I hold the cup with both hands and said to everyone:

“I think I will buy that slave called ‘Xiah’.”

As if they’ve predicted this, they weren’t surprised, but they did have worried expressions.

Snow ask me as the representative.

“I didn’t mind that, but .... that Xiah seems to know Lute-kun, but does Lute-kun know her?”

“I tried to remember her too, but I don’t have any recollection.”

“Then, what is that ‘Tanakakouji’ she had said ?”

“........”

As I thought, they heard it.

But, there’s no way I can explain to them that I was reincarnated with memory from previous life, and Tanaka Kouji is the name of the guy I let die without helping him.

“...Sorry, I can’t tell you now.”

“Got it. I will wait ‘till Lute-kun talks.”

[I will wait too.]

My wives Snow and Chrisse nod with a smile without any pretension.

….I’ve got really good wives.

Then I turn around, face Meiya and bow my head.

“With that said, I want to buy that slave, Xiah, at all costs. But I don’t have 250 gold coins so I’m sorry, but can you lend me the money?”

“Please raise your head, Lute-sama! As I’ve said before, disciples’ belongings are teachers’ belongings. In other words, my money is Lute-sama’s money! Please don’t hold back; use them to your heart’s content!”

TL Note : “you can freely use my body too if your wives won’t let you” or so I wish she would say.

“Thank you, Meiya. But I will pay you back.”

“Lute-sama is so mean,” Meiya unhappily grumbled at my answer.

I didn’t mind that and continued the talk.

“I want to go the slave market as soon as it opens; won’t you come with me ? I’m still only 14-years-old, which is not enough for the required age to enter the market, so I want you to accompany me.”

“Understood! Of course I’d be glad to accompany you! Well then, to go together early in the morning, I’m staying the night!”

Meiya smiled brilliantly, because it was her first time staying over at my house.
