「Sawadi-sama is a legend among the slavers. These people are those who have volunteered to be slaves if they can be treated.」
「I see. So there are no normal ones.」
「When we recruited musicians, the slots were filled with disabled slaves. All of them have proven track records.」
「Fuhn, could it be that there are people like them in every field?」
「I dare say yes. Young and old, men and women.」
「If I say I’ll buy them, will they come?」
Perseus smiled, baring his teeth in the evilest expression I’ve ever seen on him.
「I’ve been waiting for that command of yours.」
「…..No, I’m just asking. Just a simple question.」
This is scary. I won’t go that path.
Even now, we don’t have full control over it.
Skilled workers who’ll be sent for simple labor will be a waste of time and money if the current middle management is not trained.
However, if the slaves want to learn something, I would be willing to buy one or two teachers.
A group of musicians would be just right in that respect.
Many of the slaves wanted to play music as a hobby or as a job so after this conversation is over, I’ll have them give private lessons.
If they can play piano, it might be advantageous for their married life…above all, music will enrich their lives.
There’s really no entertainment in this world.
However, since we’re talking about married life, should I also buy them some poetry or embroidery teachers later?
There are many women among the slaves who are at an awkward age so this is an urgent issue.

I treated a group of musicians and brought them back from the slaver.
After that, we moved the slaves to an apartment in a somewhat remote area.
It will be noisy when they play music so it’s better to have them stay on the outskirts of the city so there won’t be neighbor complaints.
Then, I decided to gather them and explain the job as soon as possible.
I have a lot of work to do and if I don’t get it done quickly, I won’t make it in time.
「Let’s do it right away. I was asked by a noble to compose music for him. I know how to compose but I don’t know how to arrange so I decided to have you guys take care of the complicated parts. So, I want each of you to arrange a melody that I have taught her as the main theme. Moimo, come here.」
「Yes! Sawadi-sama!」
「She knows how to play small instruments and she also has knowledge about composition and arrangement to some extent so ask her any questions.」
「Please leave it to me!」
「Sawadi-sama, if I may.」
An old rabbit man with white beard raised his hand.
By the looks of it, this guy would be the elder of this group of musicians.
