Chapter 169: V2 Ch 25. Race against time

Right after I returned I was met by Lilith.

“Miss Delight, can I ask you for some money? I need to buy some cloth.” (L)

“Can I ask why so suddenly?”

‘Psst, cloth, necessary, fast.’ (L)

‘Did I understand you correctly?’ I stroked my belly. After she nodded I gave her the silver coin.

“Why only one…? Where is the bag?” She was confused.

“Why would you need more than one?”

“I didn’t see the bag I gave you so I just wondered. Never mind, I’ll be gone for an hour, take care of Xera.”

I was almost expecting to see the squirming knight in agony but she was perfectly fine.

“Why would she ask me to take care of you?” I voiced my disappointment.

“Milady wanted to go alone and I let her go if you accompany her. Now that you are here, get out of my way.” She steamrolled at me and now I understood why I was meant to take care of Xera.

“You aren’t going anywhere. If she wanted some privacy then let her be.” Just in case I prepared to beat the privacy into her nut-sized brain.

“Did I ask for your opinion? Go away.” (X)

I unclenched my fists and continued talking.

“If you think you can move me then be so kind and try.” I smiled at her and while she looked like she was about to go rampaging and glared at me with hatred, she must’ve still remembered that I am not going to be defeated.

“To hell with it…” She jumped on the bed and started reading a book.

When Lilith returned she headed straight towards me.

“Miss Delight, can you spare me one more coin?” (L)

“Sorry, I must conserve them all for today’s visit…”

“Are you sure? Just one silver coin.” She looked at me with puppy eyes.

“Sorry but I can’t.” I can’t give her what I don’t have.

“M’lady, don’t you think she has something to hide?” Now I had all the reasons for panic.

“Come on, when did I ever lie to you!” Righteous mode activated.

“Then hand over the money. You do have it, right?” (X)

“Miss Delight, don’t tell me you wasted all of our money.” (L)

“One moment please~.” The door is close, just one more step and I can…

“If you move one more step I’ll consider you wasted our money on useless things.” Lilith cornered me with her words but if I just manage to run away…

“Can you please come here~? We have a talk to do~.” Lilith is looking at me terrifyingly. The door is blocked by Xera and now I only have the window…

“Are you in a hurry~? Where. Is. The. Money?” (L)

“Come on, I did what was necessary!”

“So you admit you spent ALL of it.” (L)

“I’ll find a way to pay it back!”

“You better have some results or I will make you kneel until tomorrow’s night.” (L)

“She will go to the slavers’ today so if she doesn’t return by the dusk we should consider punishment.” (X)

Considering that I am now no 1. criminal in Lilith’s eyes, I absolutely have to save the damned orc. I do not want to kneel for 24 hours. No way I would.

I knocked at the door.

“What da ya need?” The man asked me but after he opened the door he only whispered: ‘Password’.

‘Winner.’

“Welcome, welcome! Please, wait foa moment, somebody ‘ll come soon.” (M)

Soon the usual face of the salesman showed from the second floor.

“Hello, what are you planning to buy today?” (S)

“Da lady asked fo some books.” (M)

“Oh, splendid! Please, follow me to the library, it is in the basement. Watch your step~.” (S)

Right when the salesman opened the door to the basement my nose was met with a wall of stench. By the time we descended into the basement my nose wanted to commit suicide but it couldn’t.

I looked around and was absolutely terrified by the sight. The animals at an improvised animal market where they are treated like already dead would still be handled better than the humanlike beings here. The floor is covered in filth and I am sure I smell something dead rotting. The cages are as big as the ones used for dog transportation. Saying that the slaves are kept without fresh food and water would be unnecessary.

Right when my eyes landed on this room I summoned my gear and began loading main guns. Either I do something or I wouldn’t be able to sleep calmly.

[I guess it’s time to do things the loud way.]

I had two of the turrets jam but I think four guns would be enough to deal with the slavers’ hideout. For now I will find the orc child and get the slaves out. I don’t want to bury them together with their torturers.

“What kind of goods are you interested in?” (S)

“I think it’d be funny to have a child servant. If it is possible I want a strong child to have a bodyguard in the future.”

“Please, follow me.” Soon he showed me one of the cages where I saw a beaten baby with greenish skin. The baby did not even cry of pain because it had no strength.

“I want to have a look.” The child was handed over to me. The moment it ended up in my hands it opened its eyes and smiled. It was surprising how it welcomed me even though it was the first time it saw me. I gave it a cold look as if I was looking at a thing.

Now I only need to think how to do everything without attracting unnecessary attention before the slaves are safe.
