I brought Laura to my dorm.

I didn’t think the Adventurer’s Guild would like it, but no one cared.

From what I heard, it is common for adventurers to take slaves with them.

It is said that they are mainly used as combat slaves or domestic slaves, and that there are a very small number of sex slaves, but I am the owner of that very small number of sex slaves.

I used my analysis skills one more time on Laura, who was sitting on a cushion, her tail wagging, looking around.

Level: 20

Name: Laura

Gender: Female

Race: Snow leopard

Age: 20 years old

Status: Rebecca Caron’s sex slave

Occupation: Unemployed

Laura’s identity has changed. You have definitely become my slave.

But are slaves always fixed as unemployed?

Maybe it’s because I haven’t assigned any work.

Now, let’s learn about Laura’s special skills.

“Laura, what are you good at?”

“I can assist you with battles and chores by your side when you carry out your requests. I can clean and do laundry, but cooking is the worst. And since I have no experience with sex, I don’t think I can satisfy my master.”

“Don’t worry. There is no housework to do while staying here. Sex… I’ve never had it either. Let’s try that slowly later.”

“I understand. So what should I do today?”

“Let’s go catch goblins with me. That’s the request I’m in charge of right now. But the problem is that you don’t have any weapons or armor.”

“Don’t worry. You can subdue a goblin with your bare body.”

It is also level 20. Goblins are demons on the E-class quest list, and their maximum level is 20, so almost all of them are Laura’s prey.

“I see. That’s amazing. I’m very weak without this magic pistol. When I have time later, I’ll buy it for you too.”

“No master buys guns for his slaves. As the distance increases, the bullets move faster than the time the bond stamp is activated.”

“Do you want to kill me too?”

“At first it was, but not now.”

“Isn’t that too honest?”

“Because a slave cannot lie to his master.”

“But I’m glad you don’t have any intention of killing me anymore. I don’t want to break up with you like that. At best, it’s the first companion I got in this world.”

“This world?”

Ah, I made a mistake.

“What does that mean?”

“It means that it is the first companion obtained in the Empire. I come from a place far away from the Empire.”

“I see. I didn’t know there were places outside the empire where people lived.”

Laura seems easily convinced. Thank goodness.

I would be very disappointed to learn that someone from a place without a caste system bought slaves.

“You are of a higher level than you look.”

“What is the level?”

“Then you don’t know what skills are?”

“I’ve never heard of it. Is this something you used in your hometown?”

“Yeah, right. It’s like a word that expresses a person’s strength and ability. So, you are stronger than you look. I also hit the goblin with my bare hands. Hahaha.”

weird. It’s really strange.

I’ve definitely used a setting that quantifies ability, and I’m directly checking that with my analysis skills.

However, Laura, who should take it for granted, says she has never even heard of it.

It is difficult to conclude that Laura is ignorant because the knight commander and other knights also tried to understand me through conversation without using analysis skills to find out my identity.

In other words, only I know the levels and skills, and the people of Arcadia divide adventurers into grades based on experience and statistics and designate quest targets appropriate for those grades.

“Laura, please never mention the words level and skill. I can’t let people find out about my hometown.”

“Yes, master.”

“Then go out and buy your armor and weapons. No matter what, I can’t make them fight with their bare bodies.”

“Thank you. Master.”

“Ah, yes. Call me by my name rather than my master. That’s better.”

“I understand. Rebecca.”

“It’s much nicer to hear.”

Without realizing it, I hugged Laura and kissed her forehead.

Then Laura’s face turned bright red.

I wonder if this is the person who despised me about an hour ago.

I never imagined that saying I was pretty would have this much effect.

You’re not doing this on purpose to deceive me, are you?

I heard a slave can’t lie to his master, so I’ll have to sneak a peek later.

“Follow me.”

I took Laura with me and headed to the second floor of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Laura, who was looking around, fixed her eyes on the gun store.

Even though he says that, it looks like he wants a gun.

When I have the financial means, I will buy a magic pistol.

“Your slave seems to be very interested in guns. How about taking a look?”

When I first came here, the waiter who kindly explained everything to me didn’t want to miss the opportunity to make money.

Okay, let’s pretend to be fooled and just take a look.

“They say no master buys guns for his slaves.”

“But I think you’ll buy it for me. My intuition is never wrong.”

“My intuition was right this time too.”

“Hahaha! Well then. I don’t think I have the money to buy a rifle or shotgun yet, so I’ll show you some magic pistols.”

“It’s also expensive so I don’t think I can buy it.”

I looked at the price tag and spoke honestly.

It starts from at least 20,000 lagir, which is not even close to my current wealth.

I could make a lot of money by completing requests without resting, but I don’t want to live buried in work here either.

It might be better to just exclude Laura from the battle and have her do chores.

Do you think Laura will hate it? I think the problem is that I have no awareness as a slave owner.

“Don’t worry. We will hand over older products at a low price.”

“That’s not malicious inventory processing, right?”

“I never sell defective products to customers.”

The man’s expression is scary. The gun store said they weren’t going to start a fight, but I guess I just did it for no reason.

“As soon as these came into our store 10 years ago, they were ignored by customers because they were new. Even though there was almost no difference in performance, they only looked for the new model.”

“How much?”

“Please give me 3,000 ragir.”

“Wait a minute. Let’s think about it.”

This is a burdensome price for me, whose entire assets are less than 10,000 lagir.

But if you can make Laura safe with that money, it’s not that expensive.

“3 thousand lagir…”

Laura seemed a little shocked to see a gun that was three times more expensive than her own.

It looked so cute that I stroked its head.

Laura’s ears perked up and her tail waggled. Aw, so cute.

“Can I buy it in installments? I will give you 1,000 Lagir at a time.”

“Not normally, but I will give you special permission.”

“Thank you. Here is 1,000 ragir.”

“I received it well. By the way, this is my first time seeing someone so anxious to treat a slave well. In return for showing me something amazing, I will give you a few magic bullets as a gift.”

“Really? Thank you!”

The man said he would give me a few rounds, but he gave me 30 rounds.

I felt good because luck followed me as soon as I bought Laura.

As expected, Laura was exactly the person I needed.

“Now, Laura. This is your gun from now on. Because you trust me, I also trust you and buy you a gun. So please don’t betray me.”

“I will never betray you, Rebecca, as long as you do not break the promise you made to me.”

Laura firmly believed what I said about liberation depending on one’s attitude.

As expected, that’s why you’ve changed into an obedient attitude. It’s worth it.

If I continue to let Laura be my slave, there will be a hole in my head.

But I wasn’t worried because I was planning on keeping my promise anyway.

“Go out and start dating.”

He kicked me and Laura out of the gun shop.

The two of us were suddenly pushed off our backs, looked at each other, laughed, and then headed to an armor store to buy armor.

The products on display at the armor store were a bit different from what I expected.

Of course, I thought there would be a lot of nice armor made of metal and leather, but there were only a lot of things that looked like accessories.

I checked the sign again just to be sure, but it was still an armor store.

I wondered what was going on, so I used my analysis skills and discovered something surprising.

All the accessories here were enchanted armor.

The quality ranged from a minimum grade of D to a maximum of grade A, and the common feature was that it had the function of deploying a magic defense shield and the function of maintaining body temperature.

‘When I think about it, hardly any of the adventurers wore anything like armor. Most people were just wearing clothes. I guess that’s because there is something like this. So why do knights wear armor? ‘I won’t do it just because it’s cool.’

I later remembered the adventurers’ outfits.

Everyone wore free-spirited clothing, and sometimes there were people who wore revealing clothing.

If I buy something I don’t know if it’s armor or accessories, I can wear any clothes.

It might be okay to increase the exposure a little here.

“Welcome! Is there something you are looking for?”

When I suddenly heard a voice, I turned around and saw a wildcat clerk.

Although he was still a teenager, he seemed to have a lot of sales experience.

“I need armor for both of us. Can you show me what it is?”

“Of course. Always the most popular are the rings and bracelets seen here. Also, necklaces, earrings, or chokers like this are also popular. Products are sorted by price, and if there is a product you specifically want, custom orders are also available.”

The clerk really explained things kindly.

I’m thinking of making a simple bracelet.

But I don’t know what to give Laura as a gift.

They all looked like accessories, so it felt uncomfortable to just leave it to them to choose what they wanted.

“I see. Let me look back for a moment.”

I asked the store clerk and used my analysis skills to find cost-effective armor.

Grade A quality was all too expensive and prohibitive, so I focused on Grade B and C.

“Rebecca, slaves can only wear chokers like this.”

Laura, who was looking at the store separately for a moment, showed me a choker that looked like a leather belt.

When I used the analysis skill, I found that the quality was grade B and that it only had the basic functions of shielding and maintaining body temperature.

I tried putting the choker on Laura’s slender neck, and it matches well.

If I just put a leash on it… what am I thinking right now?

“Is this enough?”

“Yes, Rebecca.”

After stroking Laura’s neck, which was wearing a choker, I picked out the C-grade bracelet I had looked at earlier and headed to the checkout.

“Please calculate these.”

The clerk who heard me paid for the choker and bracelet.

In total, it is almost 5,000 ragir. Chokers are more expensive than you think, so the price is no joke.

“Instalments…”

“Sorry, magic tools cannot be sold in installments.”

Due to the merciless words of the clerk, I had no choice but to pay the money all at once and leave.

Now I really need to save money. If I continue like this, I will become a beggar.

I need to quickly complete the quest and earn money. Even here, money is an issue.
