at’s Misguided Common Sense
“Co to think of it, even though we’re getting new clothes, what about Kehma?”
“I’ll be leaving the slaves’ work to Rokuko to handle. I’ll be going with the setting that a lazy adventurer reserved a room with gold to sleep in.”
“Uwaah, that sounds like a failure of a person sohow… isn’t it better to have a slave do it?”
Yep, even I think I’m a failed case. I’m not denying it, it’s a fact.
“So long as I can sleep, I don’t care about my reputation. Isn’t my reputation bad in Sia too? That I leave at to clean the restrooms alone in the restroom cleaning commissions.”
“I don’t think it could be that bad, seein’ how that’s usually a slave’s job… But for at-senpai to clean restrooms alone huh… It’s pretty rough, but well, I think that’s obvious for a slave.”
“Well, since I’m actually cleaning it in one go with [Cleanup], at doesn’t really resent … that way, I can sleep comfortably. It’s perfect.”
“I-I would never resent Goshujin-sama!”
Fufufu, that’s right. I wouldn’t be able to have my way and sleep if I had to pay attention to my hug pillow having a grudge with would I?
I patted at’s head. Her tail wagged adorably.
“I don’t think Goshujin-sama’s peaceful sleep has anythin’ to do with it… does at-senpai really just stand and hold the cleaning tools for the restroom? Sounds like a pretty easy job.”
“Right, she holds the tools.”
… Huh? Co to think of it, I don’t have any cleaning tools.
“… at, did soone co while you were waiting and ask if you had tools to clean with?”
“Yes, soone did.”
“How did you answer?”
“I answered saying that I properly cleaned with my hands, feet, and mouth!”
at responded, full of self confidence. Hooold up.
“Hold up, that’s a pretty intense response. Why did you say that?”
“Fueh? W-was that no good? I’m so sorry—”
When at’s face started turning blue as she was getting flustered, Ichika seed to think of sothing.
“Aaah, Goshujin-sama, can I butt in a sec? … Perhaps, could at-senpai’ve been… sold by the dark slums’ slave dealer?”
“… … Yeah, I got her from a bandit that bought her from there.”
“So that’s it…”
Ichika was the only one to understand, her expression seed a little sad. After that, she stood in front of at.
“at-senpai! … Normally, brushes’re used to clean restrooms! It’s fine to fetch water from a well too! Ya don’t need to use your own body to clean with!”
“” Eh—!? “”
What Ichika said with deadly seriousness surprised . However, as for at, she seriously seed to not know that. Double the surprise! That slum slave dealer, what a cruel person!
“Un, you’re safe and sound and have beautiful clothes now. The way slum slave dealers treats their slaves are the worst… if a young beastkin becos a slave, it’s the worst of the worst. Most die before they’re sold. Of course they wouldn’t have sothin’ like common sense with lives like that… at-senpai, ya really did yer best…”
Ichika stroked at’s head while tightly embracing her.
… Having your face buried in that chest seems like it’d be kinda painful.
“The number of slaves that die from illness destroyin’ their health by doin’ things like restroom cleaning ain’t few. Even though they’re children, they’re beastkin so their vitality gets taken advantage of… it’s also natural for them to be hit or kicked to kill ti. They get targeted by skills, cryin’ endlessly as their limbs or ears get chopped off. A beastkin kid is just a few copper coins, nothin’ more than playthin’s for ’em… Even if they luckily survived, there’s no such thing as an upright owner that would buy ’em in the slums, there’d only be hell left for ’em in the world.”
I don’t get it but I think I just heard sothing pretty incredible.
“… at, you’ve had an even worse ti than .”
“R-Rokuko-sama?”
From the opposite side as Ichika, Rokuko also embraced at.
“Even though I’m a dunce among dungeon cores, even though I’ve been bullied, it wasn’t that bad because I had Haku Ane-sama. Un, I’ll treat you more kindly from now on!”
“Rokuko-sama…”
“I-I’ll even give you so of my lon roll. A mouthful!”
… That sohow feels like a huge show of affection, coming from Rokuko.
