Slave Sister

One day had passed since I had fought with Richard and fled the capital of Kalis.

This busan had returned to his ho in Dragon City.

I collapsed into my bed in the mayors house the sa night that I arrived and fell asleep almost imdiately. I had been so busy over the last few weeks building my city then dealing with the nobility that my physical and ntal exhaustion were at their peak. Before I realized it, a day had passed and the sun was already high in the sky.

.

The mories of what happened at Ester-chans house ca flooding back the mont I woke up.

After dealing with the usual underhanded tactics expected from mbers of the nobility, I officially earned my title as baron. Now, I turn my attention back to improving my town. I want to continue improving my Environntal Engineering Magic while Christina is away.

These were my thoughts as I lie in bed looking at the ceiling I created with Stone Wall.

.

Arent I owed a short holiday?

Think about it. Ive been working hard nonstop for the last several weeks and while Ive been gone, everyone else was in vacation mode while I was stressing out about how to deal with the King and then Ester-chans father. Id be lying If I said Im not at least a little bitter and I doubt anyone would complain if I took a couple days to myself.

All I want to do is spend a couple of days idling in my room doing nothing.

With this thought, I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep.

The warm rays of sunlight filtering in through the window felt nice. It wasnt too hot nor too cold; the perfect environnt to sleep all day. I could hear the sound of a sparrow-like bird chirping away outside. It must be a beautiful day outside.

.

This is my holiday.

Resting is the logical way to spend it.

I should just spend all day in bed and forgot about the fact that Im wasting ti. For the second ti, I settled into bed to sleep.

Then, as if the world was determined not to allow my rest,

Umm, T-Tanaka-san, m-may I co in?

A knock on the door accompanied by Sophia-chans voice.

Sophia-chan is calling out for my virginity.

Ah, yes, Ill be ready in a minute. Can you wait?

Yes.

No man can sleep if a maid is calling for him. I hopped out of bed and got dressed before quickly straightening my sheets and comforter.

I made sure that everything was straightened in the room before taking a seat at my desk. I scattered a few sheets of paper with instructions for the Twilight Company on my desk and grabbed an inkwell and pen. I held the pen while trying to look as casual as possible.

I decided Id look better with my legs crossed before calling out to Sophia-chan while deepening my voice.

You may enter.

P-Pardon .

The door opened and Sophia-chan entered, glancing around the room as she did so.

Everythings fine. I made sure the room was perfect. The only problem I noticed was what was happening between my thighs. I made a critical error in judgent when deciding to cross my legs. The sensitive areas of my son were rubbing against the fabric of my underwear. Imdiate changes need to be made before I reach critical ltdown.

Umm, y-you have a guest.

Who is it?

That is, wella slave trader.

I see.

Just like Hegel/Richard, this person wishes to bring his business to Dragon City. My virgin heart almost cant handle the excitent. I hope he plans on bringing a tent similar to the one I visited in Kalis.

That was a great ti.

Just thinking about it makes excited.

Thank you for telling . Id like to head down straight away, but there are other matters I need to attend to. Can I ask you to go down in my place, Sophia-san? Ill be down shortly.

Eh? Oh, o-o-of course! I understand!

Her face stiffened slightly before nodding in agreent and rushing out of the room. When the sound of her footsteps were gone, I got out of my chair and took care of my important matters.

After my son was satisfied, I made my way to the drawing room.

***

The man waiting for in the drawing room was soone that I recognized.

Oh, if it isnt Oman-san. (TN: This character never appeared in the web novel and only appeared in earlier volus of the light novel before I switched from translating the web novel to the light novel. You can read the last two chapters of the manga (chapters 21 and 22) in which he and another character not in the web novel (the thief Hard) appear if you wish to get a little more info about them. You can find the manga here)

Its been a while, Baron Tanaka.

A slave trader that I had a brief interaction with in the capital. This man was demonized by the self-proclaid Great Thief, Hard based purely on a misunderstanding about how Oman obtained his slaves. His reputation was dragged through the mud before the matter was resolved and Hard helped clear his na. In the end, everything worked out.

Im sorry to have shown up with so little warning. Thank you for taking the ti to et with .

Please, dont ntion it. Im happy to see you.

I had heard word that you managed to achieve the rank of baron and not long after, rumours of your magnificent city also reached my ears. I wished to et with you as soon as my schedule allowed and it just so happens that I have business with the Pussy Republic that brought straight through your city. It would be an understatent to say Im impressed.

What else does Oman know?

It has only been four days since I was officially recognized as a baron and the carriage ride from the capital to Dragon City should take no less than five days. Its safe to assu that he hasnt heard about the events at the party and the subsequent dinner. It might be safe to take him at his word and assu he ca here purely to see the new baron and his city.

What business brings you here today?

I would like to setup a shop in your town. With your blessing of course.

A shop?

Yes, but to be completely honest with you, when I set out from the capital, my only intention was to greet you and witness this rumoured city for myself. The mont the walls of your city ca into view, I knew that I wouldnt be able to leave after only a simple greeting.

I see.

This town has a great future and I would lose all right to call myself a businessman if I didnt try to get in on the ground floor. Of course, bringing my business to your town would benefit us equally.

If I recall correctly, Oman is a mber of the FitzClarence faction; the sa faction that the Manson Group belongs to. Having two companies operating in my town with mutual interests doesnt sound bad. Unlike when Hegel first introduced himself to , Im familiar with Oman. Lets do it.

And the idea of having a shop filled with naked girls in cages doesnt sound so bad either.

I hope our partnership will prove fruitful for the both of us.

A-Are you sure? You made the decision so quickly.

As Im sure youre aware, both of us are mbers of the FitzClarence faction. If this werent the case, Id show a little more reluctance to the idea, but I will support anything that I believe will benefit Viscount FitzClarence.

Ill do everything in my power to support the FitzClarence family.

Thank you.

Both parties appear motivated, so we might as well strike while the iron is hot. I dont know when hell learn about what happened between Richard and I, nor do I know how hell react. We need to cent this partnership before he has a chance to change his mind.

Lets go build you a shop.

e-eh? B-Build a shop?

Follow . There a few quality areas in the noble district that I have in mind.

B-Baron Tanaka, building a shop is u-umm.

Its easier to just show him rather than try to explain with words.
