by fnovelpiaA scene where only plausible lies run rampant.
A brawl where there is no one being hit and only the one doing the hitting.
The overheated atmosphere was bubbling like an active volcano ready to explode at any moment.
In fact, their energy began to flow outward, causing the building to tremble slightly.
Victor stirred, thinking that if he left it like this, the bar might blow up. He filled two glasses with water and approached the little elf.
“Ice.”
“Hey, that’s not what the spirits are telling you to do, is it?”
“I should tell Arphia that one of the elves wants to go back to the forest.”
“They are like a deadly race.”
Ice created by the ice spirit pours into the glass.
Victor walked straight to the center of the scene and put down his glass.
“Drink some cold water to cool your head.”
The self-proclaimed slaves who had been glaring at each other like cats and dogs glanced at the glass. They exchanged glances suggesting a brief truce, then gulped down the water. Even that seemed to be part of the competition, so they drank it in one shot.
Percussion!
He puts down his glass with a noise and exhales deeply to let out the heat.
“Sorry, I got a little excited.”
“I, as the Jangseongjong, should have shown mercy.”
Narsha regains her composure in an instant.
“Then where is he now?”
“I went to Bestia.”
“Bestia… .”
If the Great Forest is the paradise of elves, then Bestia is the kingdom of the beastmen.
“But why isn’t Mr. Arpia chasing me and is he here?”
“I’d like to, but I was told to raise the elves as slaves. I’m doing my part.”
“Hmm… .”
Narsha was lost in thought, drooling.
‘Should I go to Bestia?’
No, that’s meaningless. Even if we were in the same kingdom, we couldn’t meet, but if he went to a completely different kingdom, it would be impossible to chase him.
‘then….’
The next course of action was quickly decided.
“I will stay here too.”
“What?”
Arphia is raising elves while waiting for Karami to return, right? If so, Karami will come if you just stay here leisurely.
There is no need to go through the trouble of finding it.
Of course, Arpia immediately protested.
“Absolutely not.”
“Why? The city isn’t Arpia’s, and it seems like he’s living off the bar. You don’t have the right to say no, do you?”
“We have so many kids, there’s no room for you. Right, Master?”
Arphia looked at Victor, but his expression was blunt.
“Now is the time to join hands and go out.”
“What?”
He had no doubt that he would take his side, but what came out of Victor’s mouth was an eviction order.
“Why?”
“Why? Do you know how much I spend on food right now?”
Lili, Lara, and Matthew brought by Karami, including his granddaughter Emily. And then there’s Hani brought by Matthew. And there’s even Leonard.
Up to this point, it’s fine. Karami gave him a lot of money to raise the kids, and Leonard is staying because of Victor’s will.
Arphia?
Since there is such a thing as affection, I even intend to understand Arphia. But… .
Victor looked at the elf children. There were thousands of them.
“I can’t tell if this is a bar or a daycare center anymore. Do I have to be the director of a daycare center at this age? This is my bar that I bought with my own money. I can’t live like this.”
“But it’s all for the sake of a cause… .”
“I don’t know what to do. I don’t have money. Go out and earn some money!”
Victor is yelling.
When Arpia was embarrassed and just rolled her eyes, Narsha intervened and lightly clapped her hands together.
“Oh my, then there’s room for one person? I’m not shameless like some people, so I’ll pay for the room and meals on time.”
“Hmm, as long as you pay the cost, there won’t be a problem.”
“If you need help, please feel free to do so, sir. I once ran a shop myself, so I am confident in treating guests well.”
“Keep going, there are such bright and cheerful girls. There are a lot of guys around me who don’t know how to respect their elders… . Yes, this is the right world!”
Victor must have been so sad that he covered his mouth and nose with his arms and swallowed his tears.
Narsha skillfully coaxes Victor. Then, she smiles at Arphia.
Arphiaga, who was about to be kicked out if he continued like this, quickly sent a signal for help to Leonard. Leonard, who was trying to get through the onlookers, sighed.
“Master, you don’t have money. Where did you come up with such a lie?”
“Huh? Lie?”
Victor shrugs his shoulders.
“When you guys went to the Great Forest, my master and I went to the upper basement after receiving a tip from your master. There was a warehouse of Loperman’s relics there. If you sold just one, you could build several taverns… .”
“This guy, Leonard…! I told you not to tell anyone…!”
“Oh, time to feed the kids. Let’s go, little white kids.”
Leonard shrugged his shoulders as if he was Victor Boran and took the kids down to the basement. Victor tried to grab her, but was unable to move due to Arphia’s murderous gaze.
A cool frost settles on Arphia’s eyes, which used to exude the freshness of spring.
“What? You don’t have money?”
“No, this is my retirement fund… .”
“That’s like retirement funds. These guys are older than the master here. Aren’t you ashamed in front of the kids?”
“You’re older than me, so why are you kids…?”
“ done.”
Arphia cut off Victor’s words.
“Let’s expand while we’re at it. The kids need to grow up in a place with sunlight. Does it make sense for them to live underground?”
“No… .”
“No. Let’s build a new one and separate it from the bar. I don’t think it’s good for the kids’ emotions.”
Victor asks Narsha for help.
“Oh my, if you build a new one, there will be a lot of space. Then I wish my room was a little bigger. I need to put a big bed and a dresser in it.”
I’m already confident that I’ll have my own room.
And on top of that, there’s a request.
“I feel like we get along well.”
“Haha, after all, we are slaves who have the same master.”
Self-proclaimed slaves who play drums and janggu among themselves.
Victor’s eyes went dark!
***
That evening.
The nightclub was bustling with people who had made a name for themselves. Rumors spread that an elf would take orders and serve drinks, making it a must-see attraction in Noktar.
Of course, only Leonard does the work. Arphia is Karami’s slave and will never serve anyone else.
‘Where in the world is there a slave who does whatever he wants?’
Is this slavery?
Slave cosplay.
Victor had no intention of raising a carnivore, so he stuck Arpia inside the bar. He told her to at least be Madame Face. Arpia couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
“Elder, I thought about it carefully.”
Although not as much as the elf, there was another being that caught people’s attention. Since there were no vacant rooms at the moment, Narsha stopped by the bar after finding a room at a nearby inn.
“What are you talking about?”
“I think it’s a waste to run a small bar with this configuration.”
“I’ve been a bar owner since the beginning, and these guys are the ones who got involved.”
“As a merchant, you must know how to change your business methods to suit the changing environment.”
“What?”
Victor was very embarrassed.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“This is a miracle! I never thought I’d meet a normal person before I die!”
In recent years, intelligent life has become extinct around Victor.
Little kids who roam the city trying to make slaves. Even the elf-gaki who are so short that they speak informally to others.
There are a lot of people who just say nonsense like, ‘I’m going to become a master of the Bbaem Bbaem Slave!’
When Emily said, “Should I become Karami’s slave too?”, I thought my heart would break. I almost broke the bottle and went to find Karami.
To Victor, that was the first common-sense statement he had heard in a long time. He couldn’t help but be surprised.
Of course, Narsha also seems to have similar temperament to them, but to this extent, she is a noblewoman.
Narsha smiled stiffly.
Dear sir, I hope you live a long life.
“What are you trying to do? You’re not thinking of something strange, are you?”
Arphia, who was standing next to him, couldn’t stand it anymore and intervened.
“I am thinking of expanding my business.”
“Business?”
“Yes.”
Narsha thought deeply when she returned to the inn.
Arphia has rescued the elf slaves. If Karami returns, she will surely be happy. Even if there is only one in her hands, she has a bunch of elves that others would envy.
If that happens, Arphia will monopolize the master’s love and trust. On the other hand, Narsha herself will be compared to Arphia.
‘That can’t be.’
So what I thought was to establish a business that would not fall behind. ‘Let’s do what we are good at.’
Something Narsha was more confident than anyone else even before she started using the sword.
It was a business like no other.
“I’ve found out that the city has been in chaos recently. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack to get groceries, and even those aren’t worth buying with your eyes closed.”
Taking advantage of the collapse of the Desert Rose merchants, small merchants and traders began to fight for power. The market fragmented.
The supply of materials originally provided by the Lopermans was cut off, and as a result, essential items such as grains, food ingredients, spices, and metals disappeared from the market and prices skyrocketed.
The economic downturn was an opportunity for Narsha to dig in.
Never borrow the power of your family.
You wouldn’t be so shameless as to worry someone and then raise your hand.
In the first place, there is no particular need for help from the family.
Because all the groundwork is in place.
First of all, I am confident, and although I pretended not to know before, I know that Baron Bardelli is secretly expecting it. If you say that you will stabilize the market economy, I will give you my full support.
Victor’s business sense is also good. The fact that he has upgraded the bar shows that he knows how to understand the needs of his customers.
Victor’s capital to expand his business there.
Victor’s store.
Victor’s connections.
The most important element of this business above all else.
‘Elf.’
With just them, you can run a one-of-a-kind store in the world. You can sweep up the money of the rich and create a completely new upper class.
That was Narsha’s plan.
The name at the top is….
‘The top of the god of death.’
If you give your entire top to Karami, you are guaranteed to be loved.
‘Ah, what kind of expression will the master make? What kind of compliment will he give me?’
Of course, it’s Narsha.
Among my slaves, Narsha is by far the best.
Just imagining it brought ecstasy to Narsha’s expression.
I wonder what he is doing now.
You must be doing things that you can’t even imagine.
***
“No fucking way my points!!!”
An inn in a city located on the road to the water nation of Bestia.
A man’s desperate scream was heard.
All sorts of clutter scattered around the room.
The man holds a single piece of shabby paper in his hand.
[Points held: 3,120pt]
All the points he had accumulated by freeing the thrifty slaves were wiped out in an instant. The devil’s temptation drove him, who knew how to handle situations coolly, to ruin in an instant.
[New System: Slave Selection]
I can’t stand gacha.
I can’t stand it even if my angel grandfather comes.
I couldn’t stand it so I failed.
