Tondemo Skill – 306 – Sad News, Dreams Fall Apart

"Not to question your strength, Mukouda-san but I thought it would be better to be prepared. After all, if you plan to continue as Adventurers and travel around the world, your house would be left alone... your slaves wouldn't be able to rely on the Knights much for protection since Knights can't protect your mansion against technically legal assault..." [5]

"Technically legal...?"

[9] "Ahem, I should let you know, the products we get from Mukouda-san sells very well and we have been getting a lot of attention but not all of them are good."

[9] "Eh? Eeeehhh!!"

[9] "For now, they are more annoying than dangerous," Lambert-san made an 'ahem' sound and continued. "The Merchant's Guild has been keeping an eye on a certain organisation but there's nothing much we could do since they're in a different country."

[9] "So, you know who they are?" I was incredulous.

[9] "Well, we have some idea. They are, humm, I should say, ambitious? Their organisation grew to its present situation in just one generation, so that's always suspect. However, there's nothing the Merchant's Guild could do about them so long as we can't find evidence of their... mischief."

[9] "Are they targeting your company, Lambert-san?"

[9] "There have been some small movements. I believe they are backed by a few aristocrats at least," then he shrugged. Looking not the least bit concerned. "Well, if they try to do anything illegal, I'm happy to send them straight to the Knights." [5]

[9] "Ahah, sorry for the trouble..." I'd be really troubled if something happens to Lambert-san and Marie-san over some shampoo and soaps.

[8] "Oh, don't worry about it. The lord of this area, Count Langridge-sama favours me a lot. I know that Mukouda-san is an S Ranker so they won't target you directly, but they might target your place while you're not at home." [5]

This... is troublesome.

Here I thought I could leave my stocks of soap and shampoo for Lambert-san to collect now and then but with the threat of this ambitious organisation out there... [5] I'd have to seriously think about security on top of secrecy.

For now, I should follow Lambert-san's advice and purchase slaves with fighting ability. [5].

"Lambert-san, I trouble you to guide me on this," I said.

"Oh no, it's no trouble. I shall write the letter of introduction now and recommend a reputable place where you can purchase good slaves."

[9] I wish he'd stop saying 'slave' but I guess it can't be helped. I need to hire help and for now, the people that fit the requirement I wanted are, well, slaves.

""Hey, where are you going? Let's go hunt!""

""Umu, I, too, wish to go hunting.""

... I'm just glad that Sui is currently sleeping in her leather bag.

"Not today, I have to visit the... slave dealer... now," [10] I wonder if I could ever get used to the word.

""Ehhh...Why!""

""Why? That's boring,""

Boring you say...

"If you think going to the... slave trader's... is boring, would you like to stay in the mansion and clean the place? Mow the lawns, clean the bathroom, sweep the pathways, pick up the leaves, clear the drains and-"
