Heavenly Castle

"... Yes?

That was the first voice of Leticia I heard about. I don't seem to have been able to keep up with my understanding, so I'm just going to sum it up and talk about it.

"It seems difficult and time consuming to change the law. So I'm going to try to do the ideal slave trade over here."

"Huh? No, you know, what about your sight with His Majesty?

"Yes, sir."

"Did you do it..."

Answering, Leticia's face caught on.

"I've been given the right to a slave trade contract because it's hard to change the law"

"I don't think it's that easy to get..."

For some reason, every time I answer, Leticia's expression fills me with fatigue.

Well, Leticia must have a lot of hard times at Leticia. It will be hard to take care of the children.

I think so, and later I decide on my mind to plug in the meat.

"... So what are you going to do now?

and was questioned there by Leticia. The expression is stiff and somewhat worrisome.

I bow my head while I feel sorry for Leticia like that.

"One thing, I'd like to ask Mr. Leticia to help..."

Asking for both hands together, Leticia blinked her eyes and laughed as she blew them out.

"... you can't refuse to be asked so desperately"

Leticia laughs and looks up at me a little anxiously.

"But what shall I do with those kids anyway..."

"Let's hire them together. Then you'll be fine, won't you?

That's what I was thinking from the beginning, so I answer that without hesitation. Then Leticia turned her eyes round and was surprised.

"Huh!? Oh, really...? Um, do you have a job that the kids can do?

"I'll think about it."

Answering that, Leticia looked difficult for a while, but eventually broke her expression and gave a deep thank you.

"... thank you very much"

Thus, I succeeded in steadily increasing the number of collaborators.

"Now let me ask you something about your salary."

"... Ah, yes. Right."

Leticia was firm.

That night, I was returning to the castle in the sky.

I freakishly missed Trane's delicious food and ate a full tummy. It is strange that not so many days have passed.

"Yeah, it was delicious. It's a treat."

"I'm glad you're satisfied"

I smiled and thanked him and he replied with an even better smile. After all, the kingdom of the sky is a place of tranquility. I want to tell people I don't know to come visit me once.

Thinking about that, Eira chuckled and tilted her neck.

"Again, this castle settles down, doesn't it? Peace, quiet, gentle people... because it's a world apart from the earth."

"Ha, sure. The streets of the kingdom of Karluk were also interesting, but it didn't feel like tourism."

Answering that with a dry laugh, Maire listens with interest and opens her mouth.

"What was it like?

I will somehow try to answer the impression of the kingdom of Karluk as I roar at the pompous question.

"Uh-huh... right. The building was incredibly luxurious and the city was interesting. However, I wonder if the atmosphere in the city felt completely different on the front and back. Privileged classes, poor people, and later slaves. Maybe it's a little scary for some people."

Saying so, Maire nodded small and roared to think of something.

For a few seconds, Ayla, who remained silent until then, opens her mouth.

"... Dear Tyki. So we talked about trading in slaves..."

"Huh?"

As Eira cut out the potpourri and the main issue, Mair rounded her eyes and solidified.

And look at this one with a frozen face. That's the same with the rant I was helping with the meals. Trane, Schnae is not cooking, but if he had listened, he would have had the same reaction.

I choose my words carefully, aware of that gaze.

"If you can't lose the system of slavery, think about changing the treatment of slaves... let's just review the slave contract while building a store"

When I said that and gave them a dry laugh, the Maires blinked their eyes.
