Chapter 16: Red-haired merchant!
Chapter 16: Red-haired merchant!
It was finally time to cause some huge ruckus!
The Yuburg City's walls had been continuously spreading their might on the horizon! As per Ashley's words, this city couldn't be comparable to Mystic Academy or any other where the royal households like her own resided.
Of course, the huge gates didn't leave any impression on Tetsuya as their design was simply plain. It looked like the height was their only forte which was too boring. He felt completely opposite emotions to the rest of the bandits who were quite tense.
Their hands held their weapons tightly while some kept gulping down their saliva nervously.
"What's so scary about it?" Tetsuya suddenly spoke, his eyes on the people entering the city. There was a huge gate prepared for the carriages and the small doors for adventures that moved on the foot. Naturally, Tetsuya's carriage gathered a lot of attention as muscular men were the ones pulling it.
There were also 'cute' women around these men, cheering them on!
It was so weird that the attention was given!
"What's so scary about it? Slave business is normal business despite how cruel it is! If things go too bad and we are too slow, then we will fight against the city's guard too!" Brolu said what everyone else had in their mind.
One could see many eyes shifting in his direction, all glazed in thankfulness.
Of course except Tetsuya's, "Slaves are treated badly." He said with a voice that sounded a little sympathetic. "Their wounds are already putting them at a disadvantage, then we have all strengthened people here with the game rune. All you have to do is stop the slaves while Brolu takes the merchant for himself. Rinse and repeat." It was a fairly simple plan, but the bandits weren't that simple due to the game rune!

It was also the reason why death hadn't crossed their minds yet.
As the silence ensued, the only thing that could be heard from time to time were the wheels. The carriage then finally arrived in front of the guard. This guard thoroughly checked Tetsuya, peeked into the carriage's interior, then confirmed that there weren't any malicious intentions towards the city.
Of course, there wouldn't be any as Tetsuya's goal was solely to deal with the slave merchants!
"Your group is enormous Did you bring these people to allow them to start a new life?" The guard asked while writing the information about Tetsuya and his gang. He wrote the names and described a little of their appearances with the key features.
"A new life is everywhere I am." Tetsuya's brief answer made the guard look at him as if he was an idiot.
Then, it was time to pay a price! "It would be ten silver for all of you." It was a cheap price as Brolu mentioned about Tetsuya's fate It was all about the merchant who lost his people and carriage!
This was the reason why the guard misunderstood the Tetsuya Gang! However, the cheaper the better! "Here is the money. Put that into those walls." He then flicked his fingers and the bandits began to pull the carriage.
No one thought of them as bandits, but poor villagers though!
"What's wrong with the walls? These are so high!" Brolu asked in the meantime.
"And that's it. Tall, but plain. Would such a city have enough resources to keep those gates strong for twenty-four hours a day? Not only 'T' from my name would make these gates look majestic, but also it would fend off people with malicious intentions." Tetsuya no longer looked at the walls, his eyes ahead as he answered Brolu. "Such a city would need to give me many contributions to share just one letter, though. Hah."
Brolu was no longer listening to this crap, though.

Yuburg City had many streets solely focused on business.
The slave business was still quite far away from the center. It was mostly because the sight of people in chains was disturbing to one's eye. The city also had medieval, but happy vibes so it was understandable.
It was clean, well-protected with friendly guards and a nice people city, but the more Tetsuya ventured, the more filth began to come out. One could spot some idiots trying to resort to thievery while others were already well-established with their criminal organizations.
There would be such people everywhere no matter how hard one worked to hound those idiots out!
The street was also getting darker and dirtier. Some people clad in long robes, with the clear goal to hide their identity, began to appear more often with the poor slaves following them.
As the three-floor building made out of bricks appeared before Tetsuya's eyes, he announced, "It's a pretty huge building, isn't it? A lot of poor people must be here, so time to bring some justice here. Brolu led the way. The rest surround the building and wait for the call." Tetsuya then patted Brolu's back.
It was all for the game rune's quest and his future, so Brolu bit his lips and slowly opened the doors.
The worst event possible revealed itself the moment he pulled the knob. "S-stop! Don't take her away! Don't separate me Please Don't separate me with my sister... " Brolu noticed the siblings getting separated.
The buyer simply wasn't interested in the two, but one. As the customer was always right, the people working in the building just pulled the chain with one woman and allowed the other one to cry for a little.
Any more cries would disturb other customers, so appropriate treatment was needed!
In the meantime, Tetsuya looked around. "It's more like a prison." There were bars like in a prison on both sides with all the slaves trapped inside. Some food and plates were left on the ground while the thin blanket was the only thing they could use. Their bodies were clad in tattered long cloth that covered enough of their bodies.
At the end of this floor was the desk with people working around. Surprisingly enough, the slave merchant was on the lowest floor, her eyes already on Tetsuya's handsome face. If he came here with different clothes, then she would surely do her best to catch him! But he came with the young knight and his clothes weren't that worse.
It meant he was a client!
But once he took a few steps forward, the red-haired woman's ears trembled. It was because Tetsuya already challenged her!
"Every woman here is with a collar on yet the one who would look the best with it just exposes her bare neck while sucking on the pipe? What are you doing, woman?" Tetsuya's eyes were all on the red-haired merchant while going up and down. He scanned her voluptuous body which was provocative with her tight robes sticking to her ample features. Her red hair covered a little of her face while cascading beautifully to the sides.
She didn't like Tetsuya's words, though, "Are you perhaps here to put a collar on me?" She then probed with irritation that surprised her.
She didn't know why, but tremendous rage had fallen on her the moment Tetsuya's voice rang out. It was so sudden and uncontrollable that more veins began to pop off on her temple.
Her body shivered and continued to tremble more the more Tetsuya spoke. "Yep, bull's eye." He then raised his finger and made a gun gesture! This gun shot clearly at the red-haired woman, then Brolu kicked the ground.
The young knight ignored all the customers and people working here, his sword high to beat the slave merchant!
In the meantime, Tetsuya also flicked his fingers, "You gotta do your job properly." His voice reminded the former bandits about their task. It was not only to keep the slaves out of Brolu and Tetsuya's battle but also to taunt the workers!
"Hey, you! You are also in a need of a collar! For being a slave merchant's worker, I will have it put on your dick." The bandit taunted with his special skill which was E! The taunt clearly worked on the worker as he rushed with a fist high!
The rest of the bandits that had the taunt skill used the same words and the battle began!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The red-haired woman was also strong on her own. Not only could she use slaves and had her workers, but her pipe was also like a weapon. She skillfully stopped each of Brolu's advances and made him all pinned down!
It was shocking!
"What is more shocking is that this woman entered your eroge system!" Ashley shouted from within, her voice shocked! It was just a slave merchant and yet she could enter Tetsuya's game rune system!
There were three choices he could use to begin the conversation! Of course, Tetsuya spoke without even looking at those, but he inadvertently used one of these. But it was understandable as the eroge game currently supports the player! It either stuck to the personality, the situation, or just promoted the complete opposite that some people surely would enjoy! This power also influenced the chosen heroine, but well!
It was currently a slightly limited power, but the more playful demon's bloodline unlocked, the more fun it could provide!
As of now, Tetsuya already left some deep impressions within the red-haired merchant's mind.
