Chapter 7 – The Slaves Visiting Wataru’s House

Wataru lives in a rented apartment.

It’s a 2DK apartment that he lives in alone, and it’s a little far from the station and a little old, so it’s cheap for its size.

He used to live in a 1K apartment, but he found that he couldn’t even cook for himself and it ended up being more expensive, so he decided to rent a slightly bigger apartment.

More space means more peace of mind.

Some people live in apartments with their spouses, but most are single.

He had liked the moderate sense of distance, which meant he didn’t have to think too much about his neighbors, but it was also convenient to bring the two of them along.

If people started asking questions and found out what was going on, it would be a disaster.

In modern Japan, they couldn’t just casually say that they were slaves.

In the first place, would that make them illegal immigrants?

The shared mailbox was kept clean by the management company, so there were no flyers scattered around.

Wataru and the others climbed the stairs to the third floor.

“It’s so bright…”

“I can’t see any stars at all.”

This is probably because the scenery is completely different from the city they live in.

Wataru entered the entrance hall while the two girls looked around in admiration and watched with interest.

“Please take off your shoes. No shoes are allowed beyond this point.”

“I-I understand. It seems like we’ve been bought by someone amazing, Aire.”

“Hehehe, I don’t mind! I’m happier when my owner is awesome.”

The girl’s slightly high voice echoing in his own house gave him a strange feeling.

Since he became a member of society, he had lost contact with women outside of work, so this was a refreshing experience.

From now on, they could live together forever.

If they wanted to, they could even sleep in the same bed.

Maybe it would be better to move to a bigger place.

But he doesn’t have enough money to move that quickly.

Considering the maintenance costs, was it too early to buy two slaves?

If he had to, he should have bought gold or jewels first and then exchanged them for money here.

But if he did that, there was a possibility that the two girls would have been bought by another man.

Wataru’s mind floated and could not calm down.

While worrying and thinking, he left the corridor and entered his room.

“It’s a bit messy. There are probably a lot of things you’ve never seen before, so don’t touch anything you shouldn’t.”

“Light magic, cold magic…! Master was a magician from another world…! No, was he an alchemist?”

“The master was an amazing person. In my village, there was only an old fortune teller and a pharmacist. There were no magicians at all.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Mariel was surprised every time he turned on the air conditioner and lowered the room temperature.

He wondered if he would react the same way if he were transported to a futuristic city.

He thought he wouldn’t be surprised to the same extent, but on second thought, Wataru had been exposed to fantasy through light novels, manga, and anime.

If Mariel, Aire, and the others hadn’t experienced such stories, it wouldn’t be surprising if their surprise was even greater.

“Sorry, but I don’t have a bed for guests… I’ll get one as soon as I can, so could you sleep on the sofa tonight?”

“Thank you. It’s fine compared to sleeping on the floor.”

“Wow, Mariel, it’s so fluffy! Fluffy!”

“Hey, Aire, that’s bad manners.”

“Hahaha, it’s okay.”

The way Aire pushes the sofa cushions and enjoys their bounce is like that of a small child, and it gives off an innocent feeling.

However, her body is full of the charm of a mature woman.

Wataru’s eyes were drawn to her breasts, which swayed gently.

Although Aire looks like an animal, she has excellent physical abilities, and her style is so good that it’s almost inhuman.

Even the physically calculated CG is a bit more restrained than her protruding chest. Because she’s bent over, you can see a deep valley.

Any man would be attracted to her. He doesn’t think it’s vulgar to stare at her…

Mariel, who had been staring intently at her master, looked away in a panic, and Wataru decided to tell her the first thing he had to explain.

It was how to use the kitchen and other household appliances, as well as the toilet and other household items.

“Ah, Mariel, can you cook?”

“I think I can do most things, but I’m not a professional, so please don’t expect too much in terms of taste.”

“That’s okay. From now on, I’d like you to take care of my daily needs, but the tools used here are quite different, so I’ll teach you how to use them first.”

“Thank you for your trouble. Aire, you should listen to this as well. “

“I understand! I can cook too, so leave it to me.”

Aire also replied cheerfully, so it seemed like there would be no problem.

Cooking for yourself takes time and effort.

Since it’s just for him, he often ends up settling for something quick and easy.

If he could leave it to them, it would be a great help.

Oh, he wondered, which world would be cheaper for food and ingredients?

It’s not always possible to get the same products, but if it’s cheaper, that’s even better.

Wataru remembered that he would also have to check the markets next time.

Then, Wataru briefly explained the appliances in the house.

The two were amazed, and their eyes lit up as he described each item in detail, from the gas stove to the refrigerator, microwave, oven, washing machine, and vacuum cleaner.

“Well, it’s something like this.”

“…..Hah…”

“This is amazing, really amazing!”

“Is something wrong?”

“No, I’m just speechless at how comfortable everything is and how wonderful Master’s life is.”

“It’s not that I’m amazing… Well, I guess I’ll let you know as we go along. Besides, I can’t use magic or anything like that, so I’d like to know about that as well.”

“Still, even the king wouldn’t be able to afford this standard of living as far as I know.”

“Well, when you put it like that, I’m starting to get a little worried, but if he’s the king, he probably doesn’t cook for himself, so it doesn’t really matter, does it?”

Well, though, the cooks and maids who work there must have their hands full.

Mariel thought about Wataru’s explanation for a while, and then she understood.

Whether it’s getting good equipment or hiring good workers, it’s the same in that it reduces one’s own workload.

The rest is a matter of cost and profit.

“It looks like there’s a lot to learn…”

“It can be done little by little. I also plan to live and shop in your city.”

“Oh, I’m really curious about this city…”

“If it’s hard for you to speak, please speak in a way that I can understand. You’ll probably pick up the language as you speak, and I don’t want to scold you or get angry. I’m sorry, Mariel, but I’d like you to cover this area for me.”

“Leave it to me. I’ll give her a good education.”

“Hiii, Mariel’s scary!”

“Well, be gentle…”

After teaching them how to use the machine to a certain extent, they made tea as a practical exercise.

Since Wataru hadn’t prepared the ingredients for three servings of dinner, he decided to order takeout.

It would be fun to see the standard of cooking in this world. He wondered how they would react.

While they waited for the food to arrive, Wataru decided to talk about the things he had been thinking about since he bought them.

“Well, I’d like to talk about the reason why I bought you both as slaves and my purpose. When I bought you, my request to Maso was that Aire would take care of my safety and that Mariel would take care of my daily needs. The fact that you’re both beautiful… well, I guess there’s no point in denying it. I am a man, after all.”

The two nodded in agreement.

So far, they’ve talked about the prerequisites.

But that’s not all.

Wataru continued, tilting his glass and wetting his lips.

“But that’s not all. I want to know something about your world.”

“But we are not scholars, so I don’t know how much we can help you.”

“I understand that, and even if you don’t know, I won’t scold you or get angry. How can I put it? I think you came to my world and were surprised by the differences you saw when you touched things.”

“That’s right. I was very surprised.”

“Master’s house is amazing. The humid heat is gone.”

Wataru smiled wryly as he said, “Thank you.”

It’s true that the technological standards of the developed countries of this world are advanced, but Wataru himself has made no effort, and he doesn’t understand how it works.

It was his ancestors who built such a society.

Although he felt embarrassed to be praised for something that was natural for a resident of this world, he did not feel good about it.

“But it’s the same for me in your world. Because the world is completely different, the obvious is different. There are definitely things that are obvious in my world that are very good in your world, and vice versa. If you notice this, please let me know.

“Understood.”

“Mm, understood.

“I want to sell good things from this world, and if there are things that are better, I want to sell them here. That way, we can introduce each other’s good things and make the world a little better.”

“So you are a merchant who travels not only around the country but also around the world, aren’t you, Master?”

“It’s not that big a deal, but… I see. Anyway, you have to get used to life here first, so if you notice anything, just let me know.”

Wataru wants to get used to the other world as well, and most of all, he wants to get to know the two of them better.

Beautiful Mariel. Beautiful and sweet, Aire.

Just looking at their well-proportioned faces staring back at him, he can’t help but fall in love with them.

They have become his possessions.

He doesn’t know what kind of fate brought them to him, but Wataru thinks it’s good that he was able to go to another world.

    1. The problem is how to register the profits for the Japanese tax office. Lots of unexplained spending without declaring the source of money would be treated as tax evasion, and faking the source as the local one would be treated as money laundering, both white collar crimes. It’s a real pain in the ass to avoid the hammer of law if he wants to keep the real source a secret.
