「……Yes?」

That is the very first thing Leticia said upon hearing the story. It seems that she couldn’t grasp the situation so I decided to give her a brief summary.

「Changing the law is difficult and will probably take a long time. So we will try to build an ideal slave trade by ourselves.」

「Eh? No, ehm, what about the audience with his Majesty?」

「We had one.」

「Had one…?」

Leticia’s face twitched a bit when I said that.

「Since changing the law would be difficult I got rights on the slave trade.」

「I don’t think it something you can get that easily though…」

For some reason, with every reply of mine, Leticia’s expressions showed more and more signs of exhaustion.

Well, Leticia probably has a lot on her plate as well. Looking after the kids is probably difficult.

Thinking so, I decided to bring them some meat later.

「…And, what are you planning to do from now on?」

Leticia raised a question. WIth a stiff expression on her face, she appeared somewhat worried.

Feeling apologetic I lower my head.

「There is something I’d like to ask of you…」

I say, putting my hands together, to which Leticia blinked a couple of times and burst into a laugh.

「…If you ask me so frantically I won’t be able to refuse.」

After laughing, she looked at me a bit uneasily with an upturned gaze.

「But, putting me aside, what about the children……」

「I’ll hire them as well. It solves the problem, right?」

It’s something that I’ve been originally considering, so I reply without hesitation. Then, Leticia’s eyes turned round from surprise.

「Eh!? That sort of thing, really……? Is there a job even children can perform?」

「I’ll think of something.」

After such a reply Leticia had a serious look for a while, but eventually broke into a smile and made a deep bow.
