120 CHAPTER III -- Build an orphanage ① (2/2)

I didn't expect them to agree so easily: .......

Thank you. Well then, I'm going to start renovating the mansion ......, but first we have to free the people who were still slaves.

I've been talking to you for a while now, and I can't help but notice the head maid's collar .

'Huh? Will you let us go?

Yeah. Give me your hand.

Wait a minute. I'm good. Just let the other kids go.

When I held out my hand ...... the head maid said that and carefully pushed my hand back with both hands .

'Okay, but ...... can I ask you why?'

Why?　What reason would I have for refusing?

'Well, ...... I'm a slave to Master Leons now, aren't I?'

Speaking of which, yes.

All of Gotz's wealth is now mine, so those girls who were Gotz's slaves and property are now my slaves .

Then I'll keep them. I, Master Leons, will remain your slave.

'What? Why?

You may be my slave, but you're still my slave, okay?

”Hmmm, a secret. Oh, to teach the children not to discriminate against you just because you're a slave.

No, you said it was a secret in the beginning.

'You just thought of that ......, didn't you? Well, okay. If you ever want me to let you go, just let me know.

In a few seconds of your book, I'll take that collar off.

Oh, yeah, sure.

So, anyone else who wants to be released, come to me.

The other maids would like to be free, if you think they would like to be free: ......

'Um, ...... I don't have to release mine either.

Me too: ......

Me too: ......

I've been rejected by all of them .

Seriously, ...... are they all the same reason as the head maid?

'What? Well, if it's good, it's good: ....... Okay, well, let's start the renovation. Well, then, let's break it up for now.

With that said, I decided to end the conversation with the maids and start remodeling the mansion.

''Having said that, ...... what kind of equipment do we need? Oh, I'll ask Belle from the orphanage.

Yes . Growing up in an orphanage, I'm sure Belle would know what to expect!

So I moved over to Bell's place.

”Bell, do you have a minute?

”Yikes!

As I shifted, two women screamed and fell on their asses in front of me.

'Oh, I'm sorry to have startled you . You are ......

The one who was on her ass with Belle was the elven woman I had saved.

Then I looked around and saw that the place I had shifted to was the room where the former illegal slaves lived.

And it seems I've done it.

”My name is Anne.

As I was looking around the room, the elf woman told me her name.

'Okay. . Anne. You can call me Leo. All right, I'll be out of here. Hey, I'm going to take your bell.

It wasn't good for me to be in the midst of a group of man-phobic people, so I grabbed Belle's hand and decided to leave the room .

But I was immediately stopped by Anne.

'Well, wait. Leo-sama wouldn't be afraid of the women here, so don't worry about it.

'What?　Really?　Really?

You don't have to force yourself to say that, do you?

Yes. We're so grateful to Master Leo for his help.

Are you sure you're okay?

When I persistently checked, everyone around me nodded quietly.

'Okay. ....... Well then, let's talk about it here, shall we?

Maybe you can get some input from Anne and the others.
