Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World (LN)

Volume 6 - Ch 3.12

Honestly, I agree with everything that they were saying.

Yeah, also. You know.. if she became a member of masters Party, then I would have dropped even further down in the chest ranking, so

Whoa there Sherry, hold your horses! I know that you are self-conscious about the size of your chest, but have you never heard the ever-famous saying that Flat is Justice?! So yeah, there you have it, and you should not compare yourself to your fellow Party Members, because at the end of the day we are all friends aiming for a common goal here, so there is absolutely no need for us to divide ourselves by something as silly as the size of your chests!

I believe that I might have said it a few times before, but you should definitely have more confidence in yourself!

And besides, while the boobs are one of the things that determine a womans attractiveness factor, you should not get too fixated on them and instead focus on your own strong points instead of the weak points that have little to no chance of improvement is what I think on the matter, but I am too afraid of how she would have reacted if I said that out loud, so I chose the wise thing that was to do in this situation: stay silent and keep my voice on the matter strictly to myself.

All right, so how about that second one then? What do you think about her?

Yes, that first slave definitely was not bad.

But on the other hand, she did not seem especially good to me either.

Roxanne ignored the entirety of Sherrys breasts-related remarks and then asked me:

Umm master, which one of those three did you like?

This time it is not about likingor not liking. Roxanne and Sherry are beautiful enough for me, so with this next slave, I want to have a one that is going to help us in the Labyrinths and will not be too troublesome outside of them.

T-Thank you very much, master, that is everything that I wanted to hear. In that case, I think that the best choice here would be the third slave that you have interviewed, the one from the Catkin tribe.

You think that the Catkin tribe one would be the best one? May I ask why you think like that?

Why does Roxanne think that Miria would be the best choice here? I am honestly quite curious to know her motivation behind such a recommendation, therefore I asked her to reveal what her reasoning was to me. However, when she heard my demand, Roxanne turned her face away from me for a moment while also blushing a little.

W-Well. T-Those of the Catkin tribe do not tend stick to their partners all the time. Therefore, it would be enough if you played with her for a short period of time everyday, and then.. and then you would be able to devote the rest of your time to us, like you always do right now.

Ahhh, in other words, even if Miria becomes my slave, I will not have to spend nearly as much time with her, because due to her cat nature she is not going to crave my attention all the time, which is going to provide Roxanne with further opportunities for monopolizing me for herself? I have to say, for someone like her, that is certainly one hell of an.. odd way of thinking.

In any case, no matter who I am going to end up choosing, I can definitely promise you one thing, Roxanne. No matter what happens, I am never going to ignore you in favor of the newer slaves.

Th-Thank you very much, master. I-If you are going to be getting her after all, then I just want to bring it to your attention that since she is only knowledgeable about fighting the Fishkin, and probably all the other things related to fish, then we are going to have to devote a little bit more time than usual in order to properly train her how to fight all of the other regular enemies in the Labyrinths.

Yeah, that goes without saying. So, can I take it as a declaration that both of you are fine with the Catkin girl becoming the newest member of our Party?

Yes. I have no problem with master choosing her. You can feel free to leave the interpretation of everything that she is going to be saying up to me.

If Roxanne and Sherry both say that they have no problems with Miria becoming the newest addition to my Party as well as my harem, then that is everything that I could have ever ask for.

If it turned out that I would have made the choice that they would not have agreed with and it would have resulted arguments between us, then that would have been a total disaster, but since that worst-case scenario has been swiftly avoided and I have reached a conclusion where my choice has been met with Sherrys and Roxannes unanimous approval, then I can proceed to purchase Miria without having to worry about anything!

Now that we have managed to reach an understanding, all that was left for us to do was to wait for the Slave Merchant to come back to the room and then engage in the arguably more difficult thing: the process of negotiating the actual price for Miriaa purchase.

So, I trust that you have finally made your decision?

I have, but before we get to that, can you tell me how much each of the slaves whom I have interviewed is worth?

Thanks to that, I am going to know how much I should be expecting to pay, and if the price ends up being too big for my lining, then I am going to be able start thinking about what to do or what else to buy from this guy in order to activate my thirty percent discount Bonus Skill.

First slave that sir has interviewed is worth two hundred thousand Nars. If you were to ask about my personal opinion, then I would have to tell that it is truly a bargain price.

Oh, is it that so? Yeah, that really sounds like a pretty preferable price.

Two hundred thousand Nars for the first slave is a much cheaper price than I have initially expected. Although she does not look like someone who is capable of achieving the things that can be fully said to be exceptional, just this price alone would have been a thing that would make her purchase worth it from the financial standpoint.

That being said, maybe I should not be so fast to claim that someone is or is not exceptional, because as far as I know, that first female slave whom I have interviewed might be perfectly normal by this worlds standards and I am the one who has them set unreasonably high due to how much of a jackpots the purchases of Roxanne and Sherry turned out to be.

Is there anything in which that first girl excels at?

There is nothing of the sort as far as I am aware, and it is because of that lack of specialty in anything that the price for her is so low.

All right, what about the second girl that I have interviewed? What can you tell me about her?

The second slave that sir has interviewed is priced at five hundred thousand Nars, but since you have come here after receiving a letter of introduction written personally by one of my business collegues, then I would be willing to drop that price to four hundred and fifty thousand Nars as a special discount. I can also assure that the outstanding beauty of that girl is something that no man would be able to refuse.

Yeah, I can definitely agree with what he said about her beauty, now, if only her motivation was on the same level as her good looks.

That, and also the price for her is actually sky high, a whole three hundred thousand Nars more than the first one, and while the Slave merchant did say that he would be willing to cut that price down by fifty thousand Nars, then I am sure that even after that discount guaranteed to be thanks to Alan-sans letter of introduction, that price would still be way above the usual market price of a regular slave.

If he would be willing to cut that price down some more, and if the girl did not have a serious ego and attitude problems, then I would have probably considered that, but under these current circumstances..
