Chapter 8 – First Time at the Slave Market

“….Understood. Is next week’s holiday okay?”

“Ye-Yes!! Thank you very much!!”

After a brief moment of contemplation, my father agreed to buy a slave for me on the upcoming holiday.

And then the long-awaited holiday arrived.

To be honest, I was so excited yesterday that I couldn’t sleep much, but my excitement is stronger than my drowsiness and I don’t even feel like falling asleep.

“Are you okay, Lawrence? If you don’t feel well, we can reschedule for a later date.”

“No, it’s okay. Since that day, I’ve been living my life looking forward to today only.”

Seeing me like this, my father took the trouble to care for my health and suggested that we do this later when I feel better, but I firmly refused.

While I appreciated my father’s kindness, honestly, I was determined to go today, even if I had to crawl.

“I see. But if it gets too tough, tell this father of yours immediately, okay? It doesn’t have to be today, we can do it another day. I’ll take you whenever you’re well.”

My father is kind through and through. Yet, in my past life, when I was still a child, I couldn’t wait when I was told there were no bikes in my preferred color for my birthday. Instead, I chose from the available colors, proving my track record of impatience.

I’m not bragging, but of course I don’t have the mental space to wait for my next day off when what I want is dangled right in front of me.

“I understand. If I think I’m really not feeling well, I’ll tell Father.”

“Great. Then this is a promise between men.”

My father nodded vigorously in response to my answer, extending his right fist towards me, calling it a ‘promise between men.’ I reciprocated by extending my right fist and lightly tapping it against his.

“Oh my, my, Lawrence has already become such a little man in the blink of an eye.”

Mother looked at this scene with a smile on her face.

The first slave market I visited was quite different from what I had imagined. The building was impressive, and the interior was well-maintained.

“There are a lot of slave markets. Of course, since this time we’re buying a slave for Lawrence, we chose a reputable establishment that caters to aristocrats. Both the exterior and interior are well-kept, and the slaves available here are all top-notch. The prices might be a bit higher than other slave markets, but that’s because there’s no worry about them selling dog breeds as wolf breeds or dealing in illegally obtained slaves.”

“…I see.”

My father saw my state and explained it to me. Perhaps because of our talk about my skill the other day, he thought I would be able to understand it.

He didn’t bother to change his words to be suitable for a three-year-old, and spoke as if he were speaking to an adult.
