Chapter 20 (1/2)

20.LITTLE GIRL GETS MORE SLAVES

After having decided the name of their mercenary group, Bela, who was in good mood because of the name, arrived at the slave trading company recommended by Kooza.

When Bela and Bal went through the gate of the slave trading company, a employee from the company went to guide them to the guest room. At the room, there were people that seemed to be the slave trader waiting for them with a smile on his face.

“You must be Bela-sama, correct? Nice to meet you, I am Alta of the slave trading company of Mouve.”

“I am Bela of the Beladonna group… Well, that´s the name I´ve just decided though. Either way, I am Bela Heiroh. I came here because  Kooza introduced you to me, but it seems like he already contacted you.”

No matter how one would look at it, Alta took the lead in the conversation without commenting about Bal being a slave and lacking any puzzlement on his face despite looking at Bela, who was just a young girl of six years old.

Having guessed that Alta was treating her like that because Kooza contacted them, Alta nodded to her. Originally, there usually would be surprise of some extent when one saw Bela. However, there was none of that in Alta. Bela felt he was a person that had quite the nerves of steel.

“Now then, on what business have you come here today? I´ve heard you desired to buy battle slaves.”

Hearing Alta´s question, Bela said “That´s right”.

“I want one element pilot. I´ve also been thinking to buy more slaves if there are any other good ones there. Is there any good one?”

Hearing those words, Alta said “Yes, there is” while strongly nodding. Alta said Bela was very lucky for coming to his company at that time. Apparently, they had bought new products in these last few days.

Bela didn´t know whether this was true or not, but after seeing the list Alta showed her, it seemed that it wasn´t necessarily a lie.

And then, Bela decided she would meet the element pilots that went by the starting line of twenty million goldin, and also some of the slaves of the giant Daina race that she wanted to see.

Alta came with three elfs, five dwarfs and three slaves of the Daina race. Alto brought the ones as requested, so their quality wasn´t bad. But having that in regard…

“All of them look more or less good, but were them the ones that were sold to you in a bulk?”

Those slaves were of equal quality compared to the ones from Colossus.

“Yes, that´s correct. Just as I have mentioned before, yesterday, we had a new s.h.i.+pment of slaves. They were the personal belongings of lord Loua, a n.o.ble from the south, but since he has pa.s.sed away, it became that it was to be left for the local companies to deal with the belongings of the deceased lord.”

Alta answered.

“…I see. Well, since the quality is good, you don´t need to go over the top like that. Either way, take away the women. Even if they can do it with my slaves and birth some brats, it will be a pain to have them.”

“Ah, yes.”

Alta´s eyes became blank after hearing Bela´s honest words. Behind her, Bal showed a wry smile

And so, after moving out the female slaves, the only ones left were one Elf, five Dragonyults, and two Dainas. Bela looked at the leaving female warrior of the Daina race with curious eyes, being surprised she was a woman. Even so, although she was curious, it didn´t mean she particularly had any interest in her. After that, she started appraising the slaves.(TL note: The word used is “admire” xD)

“That elf there seems like he lacks a few nutrients.”

Looking at the weakly figure elf that was made to stand naked just as, Bela said. With that said, he should have the strength since he remained among the other slaves. By seeing he had some trained muscles despite having a slim body being a trait of the elf race, it was possible to noticed that. However, it seemed it was below Bela´s standards.

“I get the feeling that one got used to being f.u.c.ked.”

Bal said rudely. Seeing the Elf becoming reddened due to Bal´s gaze, Bela asked.

“Is that kind of guy your type?”

“It isn´t like I didn´t do it with men as well, particularly…”

Bal answered to Bela´s question. Bal believed that one shouldn´t be picky when having that kind of thing dealt with when in the middle of the war. Bal was the type of man that was essentially fine with things as long as he could fight. All other things would be the next priorities.

“Well, that guy is gay. I don´t need that kind in my mercenary group.”

Saying that, Bela now looked at the group of Dragonyults. It was difficult to read the expressions on those faces that looked like both that of a snake and of a dragon, but it seemed that all of them were definitely warriors. Among them, there was one Dragonyult that had half of his face with inflamed skin.

“It looks like there is one of a different breed.”

Bela said to Alta as she looked at that Dragonyult. Compared to the other Dragonyults, she got an eerie impression from him for some reason.
