Chapter 583 There’s A Slave Exhibition
We decided to just put aside that call for help she sent for later, since it seemed like it was something that would be automatically activated when she falls unconscious.
It’s not like we could do anything about it right now anyway.
“There’s a spell like that?” I asked.
Lisa made a face at me, “More like an enchanted item… Some people use that to send a distress signal to family members though it’s rather rare since these signals can be faked or even intercepted… I’m surprised that someone like her has that.”
Emilia frowned, “I suppose that’s how they knew their sister was in trouble… Although I don’t remember witnessing a sight like that when we caught her.”
Lisa shrugged, “I’m not that familiar with all types of it but perhaps there are some that prevent it from making such a flashy exit when it activates.”
I looked at Katsuki, “Do I… Have something like that?”
“Not at all, Mistress. Should I inform the Madam that you would like one prepared for you?”
Oh, that’s surprising… I thought for sure that Mother would have placed something like that on me without me knowing.
“Umm… That’s not necessary. It’s fine. Sorry that we seem to have made more problems for you, Emilia.”
Emilia shook her head, “I can handle that, though I’m more worried that it might have implicated you in this as well.”
I didn’t even get to respond to her words before my companions all spoke up, even Delmare.
“We will make sure nothing happens to Mistress.”
“Wahahaha! I’ll protect Sister from anything, don’t worry!”
“Ehehe~ Me too~ I’ll do anything for your pleasures, my lady~”
“Ah… I… I will protect you too!”
As much as I appreciate the sentiments of everyone, I’m more worried that all of you might put yourself in danger because of this.
Oh well, I already resolved myself to protect them as well so it’s fine.
Emilia then gestured to the other slaves that were still cowering in the corner, “Speaking of which, Lady Nilm… Are you interested in any of them?”
Oh yeah… After the scuffle with both Crystal and her sister, I completely forgot why I was here in the first place.
I used [Screened] on them but found no one that caught my attention.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think any of them fit my needs so I’m afraid that I’ll have to decline.”
Emilia gave me a disappointed look even though I could tell that was faked, “Is that so? That’s a shame. I apologise once again for the inconvenience caused, Lady Nilm. If it’s not too much to ask, would you allow me to repay you at another date? Maybe I can bring you around the city if you would like and introduce you to some of its specialties?”
I was about to tell her that it was unnecessary but I saw the look in her eyes.
Ah, she’s hoping to be able to have an excuse to leave the ship without drawing attention to herself from her crew I suppose.
I smiled at her, “I would like that. Although you don’t need to worry about it too much, I enjoyed the show you put on for me as well during your fight.”
“My thanks, Lady Nilm. I believe your family owns a manor house here, if I’m not mistaken? Shall I meet you there tomorrow morning?”
“I’ll keep my schedule free for you.”
She gave me a small bow before I turned and left her ship with my group, Odeta hefting the unconscious girl on her shoulders.
Right… Now where is Mother? Maybe I should just return to the manor since it’s getting dark now.
Well, that means I have to walk through the market again…
As soon as I stepped back into the market, it felt like I had just entered a Dungeon with how the slave traders instantly turned towards me like spotting prey.
Several of them were already rushing towards me almost like they had insane amounts of Dexterity stats.
“Young Mistress! Won’t you give the centaur slave a try after all? I can assure you that he has the skills to send you to the heights of pleasure!”
“Young lady! We have a few young, strapping males of all races here! Why not take home one of them to warm your bed? They’re all virgins!”
“If you prefer the company of girls, come over to my side instead! Beauties of all sizes for your choosing!”
And as though that wasn’t enough, a few of them actually brought along the slaves they were peddling to let me see them in person.
“Young Lady! We have a young Trasif girl here! Isn’t she just gorgeous? She can serve as both your night and day attendant if you wish!”
“Don’t listen to her! This Infrid slave would suit your needs much better! She used to be a top courtesan at a brothel so she definitely has the skills to please you!”
“How about something more exotic, Young lady? I have a Hell Wolf that I will be leaving here for training. You can have them train it as a sexual pet for you!”
Why is everyone trying to sell slaves for sexual purposes?
Is it because that’s the reason why young noble ladies would come to places like this and they believe I’m also here for that reason?
If I had came here wearing armour, would they might be trying to recommend me slaves that have skills in fighting instead?
Katsuki and the others weren’t explicitly turning them away but they were making sure the slave traders don’t get too close to me.
I was going to say something similar to what Mother did to get them to leave me alone but someone shouted them down before I could.
“STEP ASIDE!!”
Everyone turned to the source of the noise and they parted like the ocean being split, revealing a hulking man walking towards me.
His muscular chest was bared while fur trousers adorned his waist. A bear cloak was also wrapped around his shoulder and the head of the bear resting on top of his head.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, he even had a giant double bladed axe strapped to his back while a whip was looped around his waist over his trousers.
All the slave traders stepped aside to let him pass, several of them looking at him in awe while others looked either annoyed or confused by his appearance.
He came near us but Odeta remained standing in the way, not even budging despite him being a whole head taller than she was.
For some reason, he seemed oddly happy to see that.
“Ha ha! These are very impressive servants you have with you, young lady! Especially this little slave right here!” He laughed.
I thought he was talking about Odeta but he was looking at Katsuki when he said the last part.
How did he even know she was a slave? Her slave collar was even hidden from view by her maid uniform.
Katsuki simply narrowed her eyes at him in response, not even remotely impressed.
The man shifted his gaze to me, “Ah, don’t worry, I’m not trying to buy her or anything like that. I’m Bjorn! A slave trainer here! I just wanted to ask if you might be interested in participating in the slave exhibition happening three days from now?”
He pulled out some kind of pamphlet and tried to hand it to me but Odeta remained where she was to block him from getting any closer.
She seemed to be taking a role as my guard really seriously.
Katsuki was looking at me and I realised she was waiting for my instruction so I nodded at her, prompting my Inugami maid to step forward to receive the paper from him and pass it to me.
I received it from her and took a look at its contents.
Apparently it was some kind of exhibition where slave trainers show off the slaves they trained or something and there’s a panel of judges who would decide the best trainer depending on how the slave performed.
They even had different categories for the type of slave like whether they were combat slaves, pleasure slaves, or even monster slaves.
The slaves would be tested in their abilities and their obedience. For the pleasure slaves, members of the audience are even invited to try them out for themselves.
There’s a note at the bottom that says that an auction would also be held for the slaves meant for sale so the exhibition also served as some kind of marketing for these slaves.
What the fuck is this? Is this like some kind of dog show or something?
I actually want to say that this is pretty fucked up but I suppose this was just something normal in this World.
I already know that to some slaves, this would be their chance at a better life so they would also try their best to appeal to the type of owner they wish to serve under.
I wanted to reject the invitation but Lisa suddenly moved to my side and whispered, “Aster! Let’s go! Pretty please?”
Ah… She’s interested in the pleasure slaves I guess…
Fine… I suppose we can just check it out. No need for Katsuki to participate in the first place.
But seriously… Who the heck came up with the idea of a slave exhibition? I’m actually quite curious how this even came up in the first place…
This World is just full of interesting things isn’t it?
