Chapter 28: 28 Episode 28: The unsold scent of tears.txt

'Well, it was more fun than I thought it would be. I was considering the possibility of paying a lot of money to get in there and only being disappointed.

I don't think Marina has ever had this much fun.

That makes me happy too. How was Deanna?

Thank you for ....... Master. It was the first time for us slaves to see such a spectacle. It was the first time I had ever seen magic in person, but it was a wonderful thing.

'What's the hurry. ...... Is Deanna making a character by any chance?　Your tone is weird.

'Character?　What does that mean?　And I'm not a strange talker. I have a feeling that the master is somehow hard on me.

'I'm not going to be too hard on you, though. ...... Deanna knows things and I'm counting on her.

That ...... is fine then. Master, ...... you can rely on me more, can't you?

'Oh, oh ...... I'll be counting on you from now on. ...... both of you.

Ma'am, Marina will do her best not to drag you down too!

'...... By the way, does your master have a vocation as a sorcerer?　I had only assumed that your master's vocation was a merchant. ...... So I was really surprised earlier.

Vocation. I'm a merchant and a magician. And I'm a gemologist.

Triple job!

Oh. Does the Lord have three vocation?

'In a manner of speaking, yes, but it's only recently that I've been blessed. It's just a token vocation. Oh, by the way, what is Deanna's vocation?　You haven't told me yet, have you?

..................

Hmm?　What's going on?

............ not set.

What?

......, so my vocation is still 'unsettled'.

'What?　Please be more specific.

I don't want to say too much because it's cheating again because of the contract I had with ...... the other day, but the High Elves can choose their own vocation (・・・・・・・・・). I haven't chosen one yet, so I don't have a vocation.

'Seriously? If you can choose, does that mean you can choose to be a 'mage' or a 'swordsman' if you want?　Oh, do we get to choose a unique position as well?

'You can't choose an inherent occupation, indeed, but you could choose any known occupation. ...... What vocation would you like your master to have?　I am the master's slave. ...... I want my master to choose my vocation.

Hmm?　A vocation is a lifelong commitment, right?　I don't know how much I'm going to choose, ....... Don't you think even Deanna has her sights set on one by now?

"............ aliosy ....... ...... slaves said .......

?

'Wow, I'm ............. No, ......, yes. I can't really think of a vocation for this right now.

I see. Well, I guess we'll just have to take our time and decide. Besides, Deanna has to prioritize your guidance, right?　I'll help you with anything that you can do to help, you know.

'No, your guidance is no longer in a hurry to proceed, master. You don't need to worry about it.

'Really?　So I guess we'll just bobble through our vocation and guidance.

'Yes ......, it's okay to take your time, just take your time.'

◇◆◆◆◇

When we left the sorcerer's mansion, we were a little hungry, so we decided to have a smoke at a nearby teahouse.

We talked about the sorcerer's mansion and his vocation, and then we talked about Diana ...... or rather the high elves can choose their own vocation. What a cheat ....... ...... No, he said his lifespan is quite long, and is it the spirit's parental love that says it's miserable if what you love is not your vocation?　Maybe it's .......

And it's troubling that she's asking me to choose that vocation.

...... That's right, it would be easier or better if Deanna got a vocation that would make it easier for me to spend my time here. It's a good thing that you're just a slave to the guidance, and when you achieve the guidance, you'll go back to your country or something, which means I'm just a random sitting master, so it's good to choose her vocation that I'm going to be with for the rest of my life. It's not that I won't, it's just that .......

No, you're ......, ............, and I know it's okay for me to choose, because Deanna wants me to choose. ....... What can I say, ............, it's not like it's going to be hard for me to transfer my emotions, but .......

......................

...... Oh, Lord. Did you hear that, sir?

...... Huh?　Oh, I didn't hear that bad. What was it?

Ma, I need you to give Marina a job. Marina, she's a slave, but all she does is eat free food. ...... I want to repay the master for choosing a slave like Marina as much as possible.

Well, that's limpid.

I think we should be more cautious since we were bought with money, honestly.

Or is all slaves like this? If so, I'll save up and buy all the slaves. But Marina said she's a miserable person herself, and I'm sure she's unpopular in this world, so I wonder if she feels that way even more: .......

'Don't be so down on yourself, Marina. It's not a job at the moment, but I'll have you working for me soon. In the meantime, let's just have a non-stop friendship like this.

'Oh, the Lord is too kind to his slaves: ....... I didn't expect to hear you say that ....... It's no good, I'm too happy for that: ............

Marina is perplexed.

Hasn't she been too nice to people?　He was unusually horrified when I bought him a hair clip earlier: .......

Maybe I should declare this clearly?

'Let me be frank with you, Marina. I bought it with the intention of making Marina happy from the beginning, and I have no intention of making her unhappy from the beginning at all. Also, from now on, I'll sleep on the futon with you.

Ah!　I'm being honest for no reason!　This is not good!　You're not even close to being clear!　I've been trying to impress you all day!　The flag seemed to stand up reasonably well, but this is going to snap!　You broke my flag!

"Heh, ......, well, I'm making fun of stupid slaves like that again, ma, Marina is an idiot and I take her seriously, right?

Okay, I guess the flag didn't get dented.

But Marina is a really cute guy.

I don't know why she's so cute. I wonder if it's because she's a badass in real life, even though I get the impression she's fishing-eyed and bossy.

I'm worried that she's going to be easily tricked by the wrong people ......, because she's quite a bit of an idiot and I need to educate her. I'm not sure if it's a paternalistic approach or not.

It's not just a matter of time before you're ready to go. I was really happy to hear that Marina was not creepy ...... and that she was cute ......

'Well ....... But didn't you pledge your allegiance to Deanna first, Marina?

The first time I saw her, I was confused because she was a princess ....... It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it. ......

"Calm down, Marina, calm down.

"Marina, I was a miserable, unsold, knighted, but I was told that women couldn't be knights, and my mother died, and I was so lonely, and there were threats that I'd end up in the mountains if I didn't sell out, but I was so helpless... .........

The words pour out of Marina like a dam.

Even though it seems to have been no-ho-honed, it was sold as a slave, so it's hard to be comfortable with ....... We don't even know what kind of person buys us and what they do to us ....... I don't know what it means to go to the mountains, but you've been polishing your mind all along.

'Marina, calm down ....... I'm not going to let anyone hurt you again, and I have me and Deanna. We are that ...... so, we want to be a family of sorts. So you can spend your time in peace.

Oh, Lord which ....... Oh, really?　Oh, I'm ......

Tears spill out of her big, fishing-eyed eyes and she cries into a meeping mess without being noticed.

Deanna, who had been staring at me with jealousy, is also patting Marina's head and calling out to her.

The picture of the elves comforting the Turks is unusual, or maybe it's just a picture of the elves comforting the Turks, and it's attracting a lot of attention from the other guests, but well, I'm used to that.

But, well, aside from Deanna, Marina was bought by me of my own volition and I can't just throw her out in the middle of the road, I have to make her happy. ...... I don't know what kind of happiness for Marina is best for her, but I think she should start with a life of well-being.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

We'll have to get serious about this.

After a while, I left the shop while Marina had calmed down.

I think we should go back to the inn and rest for the day.

Lord, I apologize for being so distracted earlier.

No, it's nice to hear how you feel, Marina. Keep in touch, Marina.

Yes, sir!　I'm going to serve the Lord for the rest of my life!

Maybe it's because she cried, but Marina has the best smile ever, with slightly red eyes.

There isn't a modern day person who doesn't fall in love with this .......

◇◆◆◆◇

Back at the inn, Deanna opened up and said.

'I'm going to sleep with my master, too. I can't overlook the idea of sleeping with Marina alone. Rebecca told me to go to .............
