Chapter 20 (1/2)
Haruto solidifies for a while、and reacted quickly。Asking while pretending to be calm。
「Why desert people？By the way, I've seen a lot of desert people lately……is it related？」
「Just as expected。You’re very sharp……。It's a complicated situation……I will summarize。」
Eugene starts talking after saying that。
「It's about four o。A desert citizen named Aisha entered the country。That woman didn’t pay a residence tax and soone。Then she escaped。So now, she’s becoovernood？」
Haruto nods while taking care that his expression doesn't give out anything。Seeing Haruto nodding、Eugene continued talking。
「So I tried to sell Aisha for 500 ot a buyer、but a probleht that she could chop the chain。」
Haruto was reminded of the chains used on the slave's prison。Even if you try to bite such things、it's normal to have your teeth fell out。
「It's okay up to here。Because it's my fault。But the situation worsened further。That wohter of the chief of the desert people。」
Eugene resu a breath。
「It was discovered 10 days after Aisha escaped。The desert people ca and couldn't find her。Because I have no choice, I consulted the Congress、the Congressmen and some trustworthy merchants、mercenaries、and it was decided to search with the policemen。」
Eugene looks at Haruto and speaks again。
「Haven't you worked it out？」
「I'。」
Haruto lied in a dignified manner。
「Really……I'ht。Well then。」
Eugene says so, and left。When Eugene disappears、Haruto heads to the bedroom and with the door closed、he opened the closet。
「You should have heard it with your hearing。Or you'll tell me about your circumstances。」
Aisha nodded quietly。
「That、in reality……it's a lie when I said that I want to see the world of the west……」
「I wonder。So then、why did you come to Claris？」
Aisha answered timidly。
「That……I ran away froe。」
「Marriage ne~……you sure is the chieftain's daughter？Is it a political ？」
Haruto says so、but Aisha shook her head a little worried。
「Some men have been introduced、and they told me that I can choose from them。Of course everyone is an influential person, so there are elee。Anyway, they said that I can et married yet、but because it was too noisy……」
「So you ran away from home」
Haruto sighed deeply。
「Is that even better？」
Roa raises her hand and questions。
「What are you talking about froo？」
By the way, Roa did not listen to Eugene's story。Haruto explained to Roa、and Roa has rounded eyes。
「So Aisha-san was the daughter of the chieftain！Isn't that a！」
Haruto said to the surprised Roa。
「It's not soe as a policy in their hoe as a house policy。You can iine that she was born and raised in a wealthy house to some extent。」
Haruto turns to Aisha。
「By the way, you said that it was okay to be married、but you're still 16、or maybe 17？Why the rush？」
Aisha answers to Haruto's question。
「The desert people at the age of roughly 12 or 13, it was natural to be engaged。Everyone is e of 15。I don't think you can complain if it's an ordinary household、but because I'hter……」
「I see。Because the desert is harsh、this et married sooner and leave lots of children。」
In the words of Haruto、Aisha nods。
「So is the story of you escaping true？」
「E (Yes)、oh well。I was starving……。I’m sorry。」
Aisha lowered her head。Haruto returns it with a smile。
「It should be fine。Roa is a fool、because she tried to become a shoplifter。It's cute if you compare it。」
Roa looked like she wants to say soue。
「Is being hunted by slave hunters a lie？」
「No, slave-hunting is a figure of speech……the policeht me since I am a slave, so it's not a slave hunt in a sense？」
「The policeize to the policeman。」
Haruto made a wry smile。
「I have no choice but to stick with you……will you blame me？」
「I do not have a grudge but……is there no way to avoid e？」
Aisha looks at Haruto and Roa with pleading eyes。Because they've been living together for onesomeone feels bad。
Haruto and Roa thinks to themselves with their arms crossed。
「I wish there was a way to legally stay in Claris……。」
When Roa heard those words、she had her eyes wide open。
「That's it！It's soap。You can show soap to the chief。So you can ask her to stay at Claris to learn how to make soap。」
Aisha grasped Roa's hand。
「I see！！Soap will benefit the entire clan。To learn how to ood if they can't understand the Kris language, so it's o。I aet married、but I am fluent in Kiris, and I can raise my name。Nice、That's nice、Roa！！」
Aisha swings around Roa's ar「It'll break, it'll break！！Please stop it！」。
「As expected of Roa。Isilly、but I did not think up to that degree。」
「Noー、Even so。」
Roa proudly brags。
「Oh well、although it's thin as aive up and get pregnant。Now then、froues。」
Haruto has a bad smile。
「This tiotiate with the desert people。So to get the maximum benefit、ill take the initiative in this story。Aisha、Roa、let’s cooperate。The peace between the desert people and Claris is in our hands。」
Three people continue to devise measures for three days。
「This tiuessed it already、I a Aisha。」
Haruto looked around at Eugene、Branch、and Adonis while saying that。
This is a room in a luxury hotel in Claris。Because it is completely soundproof、it is the perfect place for a secret 。
「I see。Were you deceiving me at that time。」
Eugene looked at Haruto as laughing fearlessly。He was deceived by a ood about it。
「I am sorry about that。However until I confirmed the story with Aisha, I could not report it。After all, she said that she was being chased by slave hunters。」
