4. Taming the Shrew – 02

Eurika del Cartesia.

Anyone who has played 「Erantia Saga」 At least once cannot possibly be unaware of its existence. In a sense, this NPC is even more famous than the main character.

And I, who can be said to be a deceased figure in 「Erantia Saga」, Was also in a position where I could not know about that woman. Because that woman was the same woman as the wicked cotton plantation owner who used to treat the main character to the bone in the name of a quest, and who used black slaves.

On top of that, it’s a reward for a quest, and the only thing given is a few experience points or gold, and items that are useless to anyone.

What do you think the main character is Pokkulom who came to Korea without a visa?

‘Aren’t we some kind of comrades-in-arms, united in like-mindedness to bring down an evil empire? Being helpful to us means ultimately helping you as well, so please don’t say anything embarrassing.’

I can’t even say the admirable thing that I’ll fill it up with my body because the reward is so poor, but the words I spit out with my neck stiffly lifted are like that, how can steam not circulate in my head?

It was to the point where my ‘most hated NPC in the game’ changed from the elder Stan, who made me abandon my cherished Suncall at the bottom of the Earth Defense Force, to that woman, Yurika.

But even so, it was impossible to ignore the princess, because at that point, the only force the protagonist could hold her hand in was the Resistance led by her.

‘The story of the princess forming the resistance and deciding to fight against the empire is a story six years from now, when she is 22 years old.’

And to paraphrase that, six years before she started her full career, she’s now just sixteen-year-old Jam Min.

Then, can’t there be only one conclusion drawn from this?

‘The princess would be the right person to have as a face madam in the organization I will create.’

The Grand Duchess will never notice the fact that a person who can become a princess is just someone’s follower.

While thinking about this and that, Sei and I arrived at a place in the basement of an auction house in Jedo, with a dark and shady atmosphere.

There, transparent boxes surrounded by iron bars were placed at regular intervals, and inside were slaves who were no different from wearing clothes.

“… This must have been the slave market.”

Seeing that, Sei slightly twisted her eyes. It’s been quite a while since she stayed on earth, but since she’s basically an angel, she doesn’t seem to like slavery that much.

“You must have been on the island for a long time, but have you never been to a slave market?”

“In the first place, I rarely went out of the casino while I was on the ground. If I run into someone who recognizes my existence, something really big could happen.”

Say’s eyes were on the slaves inside the prison. Judging by his appearance, he looked as if he would get to work at any moment if left alone.

“Say.”

“… I know. If I make a fuss here, the Empire may find out about my presence.”

Say let out a sigh, then looked at me with a gloomy face and opened her mouth.

“Anyway, are you saying that the princess of the empire is in a place like this?”

“If what she said to me was really true.”

She said so, but I was almost certain that she was here at her current point.

It’s safe to say that there’s little chance that the self-respecting woman who lived for her taste will hit something like a goura simply to feed me taffy.

“I can’t believe it. If she was a princess of the empire, she would have the most honorable status in this country, but how could she have flowed into a place like the slave market… “

“Don’t you know? The fact that the imperial family is not as clean and noble as other people think.”

“Certainly, the current imperial family and those behind them are not very trustworthy.”

As Sei and I were talking, a nice-looking middle-aged man came up to us and bowed his head. He was none other than one of the merchants in charge of this slave market.

“You waited a long time. Young master. I am one of the caretakers in charge of this place.”

“You arrived quite late. Doesn’t it mean that your basic attitude as a merchant is messed up if you leave customers outside for so long?”

Even though I said something like that while it was almost like a first meeting, the smile on the slave trader’s face didn’t go away. No, on the contrary, he bowed even deeper towards me.

“Sorry. It seems that I needed time to prepare in my own way to welcome the lucky man who won 1.5 Million gold at the Kittilan Casino.”

“Whoa.”

How long has it been since I won 1.5 Million gold, did I just pick up the rumor? Those bastards probably don’t even have some kind of nerve cord connected to the collar, so what’s the point of acquiring information so quickly?

“Your ears seem quite bright. It could be that, or it could be that you are quick-witted.”

“I just thought it was better than not recognizing you and being rude. Originally, lowly things have their own talents, so I dared to play tricks. If you were offended, I sincerely apologize.”

“It’s done. It’s not that I can’t understand your actions, and since you recognized me, there are aspects that have reduced the hassle, so let’s just move on this time.”

“Young master is absolutely right. Young master is too precious to have dealings with lowly people.”

Sei quietly opens his mouth as he sees the merchant crouching toward me.

“Then, I’ll take a tour of the slave market myself. I have the ability to read human causality, albeit weakly, so if there is really ‘her’ among them, there’s no way I won’t be able to recognize it.”

“It’s okay.

When I wave her hand at her say that it’s okay, she bows her head toward me apologetically.

And the eyes of the merchant staring at Sei suddenly open. Seeing her Sei’s appearance, which is hard to find in people’s world, she seemed to be mesmerized.

“I… Young master. She wonders who the hell is that woman next to her… “

“Keep your eyes down. I’m not a woman that you guys would carelessly stare at.”

I tried method acting, recalling the image of the second-generation conglomerate I saw in a childhood drama. In fact, it was one of the acts that I wanted to try at least once in my life, which was written on my bucket list.

“That woman is mine. If she looks at mine with those eyes just one more time, she will gouge out her eyeballs.”

‘Kiya, his charisma is f*cking coming.’

When I said that in a voice that seemed dignified even when I thought about it, the merchant hurriedly rammed his head into the ground and apologized to me.

“Yes, yes. Sin, sorry. I will never, never dare to think of it again.”

“I just needed to know. I will be especially merciful this time, so be careful from now on.”

As I said that, I sighed quietly and opened my mouth as if I was really bothered.

“My business is simple. If possible, I’m looking for a girl with an off-white complexion. I hope you are between the ages of nine and fifteen.”

The woman I remember, named Eurica del Cartesia, was a woman famous for her original form. Perhaps she still looked much younger than her actual age, so it was better to look first at the younger children of that age.

“… Well, a fair-looking girl between the ages of nine and fifteen… Are you talking?”

At my words, the merchant looked at me with a slightly absurd look. To be more precise, she was looking at me with the kind of eyes that would look at a dirty pedophile.

“Ouch, hmm… Hey, you have very old-fashioned tastes. That… Well, I understand too. A high-ranking aristocrat I know taught her, saying that 15 or older were her grandmothers.”

‘This f*cking bastard is real.’

I don’t know who it is, but I felt like my insides were turned upside down when I saw them comparing me to some perverted bastard.

But it was impossible to come this far and dig everything up, so what should I do? It sucks, but for now I have no choice but to be patient.

“… Okay, so why don’t you answer the questions I ask? Is there a girl I’m looking for or not?”

“hahahaha, we at Slave Market do our best to meet the needs of all our customers in the world. There are very few girls like the kind of girls Young master wants, but… There are.”

“Really? If so, bring it with me.”

“Um… To be honest, I didn’t expect the children in that line to be nominated… If you don’t mind, Young master, why don’t you go and see for yourself?”

“Let’s do that.”

Once my permission was granted, the slave trader rose from his seat and began guiding us into the depths of the market.

How long did it take to walk like that? The grand and splendid appearance of the auction house was completely outdated and the appearance of a building that had no place to be seen was revealed.

“… I’m sorry that I seemed to show you a side of me that I couldn’t see. However, our market side also had a limited budget, so we had to make choices and focus… “

The slave trader scratched his head in embarrassment as he said that, and Sei frowned as she looked at the building where the children were staying, but to be honest, I wasn’t particularly impressed.

‘Well, it would be even weirder if these bastards pampered and cared for orphans like their own children.’

Even trainers who usually talk about Pokemon as their own family never allow sick bed with Pokemon when eating and throw a bowl of dog food on the floor. How can a slave trader like that treat orphans well? Did you do well

“So, what about the girls?”

At my urging, the slave dealer silently opened the old rusty iron door. And there, for a slave, there was a huddle of pretty and precious children.

“How are you? So far, most of the guests are not of a very preferred age, so we drove them to these places and raised them, but we are confident that we are not virtuous people who neglect the management of slaves. It’s not obvious yet, but as time passes, they’ll be able to work as maids in any prestigious family.”

The slave dealer said that with a very proud expression on her face, but I left the slave dealer aside and looked around at the children gathered in one place. And after a while, I looked back at the slave dealer with a puzzled look.

“Are all the children here?”

“Yes, it is. At our auction house, this is all the children within the range that Young master said… ?”

There was no image of a princess among the children gathered here. Just in case, they carefully looked at each one, but in the end they couldn’t find the princess.

“… Is it too mature in the eyes of Young master? But children younger than this are not handled in our slave market….”

‘No, you f*cking bastard.’

I momentarily felt the urge to rip that slaver’s mouth apart like a red mask, but I managed to resist it with superhuman patience.

‘Then where the hell is the princess?’

At the time when her heroine and her princess had an event where she drank her liquor in one place, her princess spent her childhood on her own in her slave market with her own mouth. That said, there was definitely a scene where she confessed to the main character.

‘Did I just spit out nonsense when I was drunk?’

Anyway, what a f*cking b*tch. Whether in the game or in real life, there is no girl like the Grand Duchess who really doesn’t help me in my life.

That’s when I was gnashing my teeth, remembering the face of the Grand Duchess who was not here right now.

Brush.

A small chuckle is heard from somewhere.

“Hmm?”

When I turned her head at the sight of her presence, which was so blatant, I saw a girl looking at me from behind her pillar, dirty and twitchy, reminiscent of a stray dog in her neighborhood.

“… What else is that?”

“Nothing. That child turned out to have absolutely no commercial value and was merely a lowly thing that forced him to work as a kitchen burner, so Young master is not worthy of his attention.”

A slave trader who waved his hand as if to drive away flies and gave explanations as if it were annoying. But the moment I looked at the girl, she couldn’t take her eyes off her.

[I found a huge singularity in destiny!]

[As the Singularity manifests, a significant inflection point occurs in the axis of time.]

[As the inflection point occurs, the main quest 『Legal Heir to the Empire (SS+)』 Will be extinguished!]

[The main quest 『The Flag of Rebellion against the Empire (S)』 Will be extinguished!]

[The sub-quest 『Imperial Purification (B+)』 Will disappear!]

[The sub-quest 『Honor of the Imperial Family (A)』 Will be extinguished… ]

‘I found it.’

Looking at the countless message windows, I was convinced.

The fact that that naughty and dirty girl was the one I had been anxiously searching for, the Imperial Princess Yurika del Cartesia herself.
