Living in Another World by Commissioning 〜Healing Mage’s Relaxing and Fluffy Manpower Agency〜 - CH 69.2

Perseus clapped his hands and gave me a satisfied look of admiration. Then, he pulled a hairless old man by the hand and brought him to me.

The old man, who seemed to be blind, was still standing there, looking very calm and composed.

「He is a retired metalware wholesaler from Reufuma desu. He once asked a mage to heal him but it didn’t work out. He has no shortage of practical experience. 」

「I see. Good.」

Perseus, smiling with a beastly grin, then called out a middle-aged man with black hair equipped with a cane leg and a pirate eye.

Half of his body is thin and shriveled but the other half is as sharp as a sharpened blade.

Even now, standing on one leg and cane, he gives off a strange sense of balance that made him feel unstable.

「He is a spearman and good at bragging saying he was well versed in martial arts. Given how good he is at bragging, I bought him more for his eloquence than his martial arts skills.」

「Is he? But, won’t that just cause trouble?」

The man’s shoulders shook with fear.

Perseus smiled, put his right hand on his chest, and patted the man on the back with his left hand.

「Fear not, this Perseus has not lost his sense of discernment yet. This man will surely be of great use to Sawadi-sama.」

「If the slaver Perseus says so then he probably will.」

I have known this gramps for a long time. If he says I need him, then this braggart is probably the man I need.

After that, Perseus introduced a series of ready-to-work personnel, mostly middle-aged guys, but there are oldies too.

They all indeed had great backgrounds.

There are many who can do professional jobs like steward, merchant, butler, master builder, chef, teacher, craftsman, blacksmith, and many others.

As expected, they are different from the female slaves I’ve bought in the past.

「Men are supposed to work while women are supposed to nurture. It is the men’s job to support the city so the main stream of slaves are also men. If you continue to order from us, I will see to it that you will have the number of slaves you desire.」

「No, that’s unnecessary. I will continue to rely on you. I’ll take all the slaves you’ve been feeding.」

Gramps said “Is that so?” with a smile on his face.

I feel like I’ll owe you a lot of money!

The slaver Perseus is trustworthy, but I feel an unfathomable sense of danger from him too.

I signed the contract, paid the price, imprinted restrictions using a magic tool, quickly healed the slaves, and handed them over to Chicken.

They were strictly ordered to follow the Schenkers senpais so they would follow our girls for the time being.

After settling down, they can do the usual full course of recruit training and deepen their friendship step by step.

Anyway, the Schenker is in a state of emergency this time so the slaves will have to put up with some complaints and friction.

「In any case, thank you for today. I really appreciate it. You’re the only one who would listen to my recklessness.」

I thanked Perseus once again after he had finished his big business and counted his gold coins.

Though he must be making quite a bit of money, it is true that he’s been a big help.

「No, it’s not recklessness. As I’ve said before, I’ve been waiting for this day for five years.」

「What are you saying? Do merchants have to be able to anticipate things that far in the future?」

「It’s not foresight but certainty.」

He looked more mysterious than I had ever seen before.

「What do you mean?」

Perseus, who seemed to have turned mysterious, did not answer my question but gave a monologue instead.

「Sawadi-sama. Torquiva’s Schenker family’s third son.」

「Hnn?」

His eyes, still shining brightly despite his old age, seemed to be staring at something much bigger than me.

「When you’re a little older, you should grow b.e.a.r.d it.would.look.good. on you.」

I wondered why he said such a joke as if he was pleading to me. I gave him a firm reply.

「I won’t.」
