#326. Will it be harder than you think?

* * *

Kilimanjaro.

To the neighboring tribes, the Lucuma tribe was like an alley leader.

Compared to the warlords, it is insufficient, but in the sense that a single tribe is too strong an opponent to face.

The Lucuma tribe, which monopolized great wealth by monopolizing the by-products from the dungeon and nurtured elite players, had the power to do so.

That’s why the Lucuma tribe had no choice but to watch the heat of the merger of other tribes.

Even though they knew it would be their turn next time, they didn’t have the power to stop it right away.

After all, the law of the jungle was also the providence of Africa.

“what?”

“The Maasai captured the Lucuma?”

“What nonsense…?”

It was only natural that most of the tribe openly distrusted the rumor.

There’s a degree to killing giants.

The Maasai are the weakest tribe in the neighborhood.

For them to have defeated the Lucumas was as absurd as for a frog to defeat an elephant.

But the details accompanying the rumours were enough to convince those other tribes.

“I heard they hired foreign high-level players.”

“Then… it won’t be impossible.”

“But with what money? I heard that the Masai these days have nothing to eat even hyenas?”

“I don’t know, but since it went well in the past, there might be some money left over from that time.”

“Anyway, it’s a big deal. Umbaru I never thought that simple human being would have such a witty connection…”

The tribes who understood the situation in general paid attention to the dynamics of the Masai and Lucuma.

No matter how defeated the war, the Lucuma tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands will simply be annexed to the Masai.

And how the Masai will move.

Depending on the direction, the fate of the nearby tribe could have changed.

But that’s why they were all bewildered by the actions the two tribes took afterwards.

“huh? What bird are you looking for?”

“Is there a reward for catching them or just providing information?”

continue to wage war.

Or make up for it.

Now is the time to move the busiest.

In the midst of this, all the tribal chiefs around them had no choice but to mumble in unison at the event of the two tribes who were suddenly absorbed in finding a new bird.

“…why?”

* * *

It might be comforting to the other tribal chiefs, but they weren’t the only ones confused by the sudden bird hunt.

In fact, there was someone else who was the most shy.

“I don’t know why I have to do this…”

“Then say no.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Didn’t you see what happened to Nko?”

“That’s because that person is so reckless. If you’re really scared, can you talk to Limor instead?”

“That is scarier.”

“why? Haven’t you become quite close with Limore lately?”

“Even if you don’t ask, a lion is a lion. If you touch it wrong, it won’t end with a few hits.”

“Then just do as you are told. That way, those nobles won’t go faster.”

“What will I do after I’m gone? The Lucuma people can’t be quiet.”

“As the chieftain, you should think about it on your own.”

“….”

Shouldn’t we beat this bastard chief?

It was Umbaru who felt skeptical about his job again.

* * *

“Unexpected.”

“What do you mean?”

“I didn’t know that my sister would be so active in helping me with my work.”

“I am neutral to the end.”

“Hmm, is this just a precautionary measure so that I don’t get into trouble with the Red Dragon Princess?”

“yes.”

Rose’s actions in subduing Nko and capturing the Lucuma tribe were not emotional.

Rather, it was a sober judgment.

Just like hiding a tree in a forest is the best way to hide it.

If a small commotion made it difficult to search secretly, they would rather create a bigger commotion to divert attention to themselves.

Of course, this was a huge risk.

Even if you keep your mouth shut, information will leak out someday.

Instead, there were advantages.

It is said that you can collect information about the seven colors.

In other words, instead of going safely even if it takes time, it is like choosing high return with high risk.

It was against Rose’s will, but since she was embroiled in a war between the two tribes, this was the best she could do as a neutral.

“Perhaps it’s better for Hasneti to come with an army than for word to spread.”

“Looking at the way they go back to Africa now, it could be.”

Limon readily agreed.

The reason why the Lucuma tribe suddenly tried to annex the Maasai was closely related to the current situation in Africa.

Currently, northern Africa has become a mess due to the fight between Egypt and warlords who have started a war of conquest.

The result, of course, was an overwhelming Egyptian superiority.

It was because Hasneti’s offensive, which mobilized all the power of the Egyptian army, Apophis, and the Red Dragon Clan, was not something a single warlord could handle.

So now African warlords were strengthening their power by forging alliances or merging other tribes.

Chief Lucuma jumped on the trend and at this point, he also tried to expand his power and become a warlord.

In that respect, in the end, the time to focus on the search was extremely limited.

“What if that happens?”

“I will return immediately.”

Rose asserted.

Whether you find the turkey or not.

Her priority was to prevent a war between Limon and the Red Dragon Clan.

But Limon didn’t ask for that reason.

“Not me, but this tribe. Are you going to leave it alone while occupying it?”

“I have no intention of intervening more than is necessary.”

“I think you’ve already intervened too much for something like that?”

“It was just what I had to do.”

Take a moment to look at Rose, who answers without hesitation.

Limon finally laughed.

“It doesn’t matter if my sister believes that, but it must be harder than I thought.”

“…?”

It was when Rose put on a puzzled expression at the words whose meaning was unknown.

A man entered with a short coughing sound.

“Hum hum. You are here.”

“What are you doing?”

“I just wanted to make sure you didn’t feel uncomfortable.”

“Thanks to the hospitality of the chief, I am living comfortably.”

“It is a tradition of our Lucuma people to treat any guest kindly and do their best.”

“Well, when I first came, I was treated fairly hospitably.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Maybe it’s because he remembered what happened to Limon and Rose when he entertained them with bullets.

Chief Lucuma, who was in a cold sweat, opened his mouth as he looked at the two.

“Hmm hmm. I’m here to compensate for my negligence in entertaining the two of you.”

“Are you going to give me a bribe?”

“Oh, how could that be! It means that we have been looking for an attendant to treat the two of you more faithfully.”

“Thank you for your words, but…”

“Hahaha, don’t hesitate. As I already said, it is a tradition of our tribe to treat guests with hospitality.”

mate!

Before Rose even expressed her intention to refuse.

Chief Lucuma hurriedly clapped his hands and called those who had been waiting.

Because the tribe had already been occupied, he needed to somehow look good in the eyes of the two.

Rose, who had a bitter smile because she knew the heart of such a Lucuma, hardened her face when she saw the people who had just entered.

“…Chief Lucuma, what are these?”

“Didn’t I tell you? These are the guys brought in to wait on you.”

“It doesn’t mean that.”

“Uh…then you don’t like the kids? Shall I change you to another one?”

“Now I ask why there are still slaves in this tribe.”

A shy expression on a pretty face.

Clothes that reveal the flesh.

Crucially, even necklaces and bracelets with chains.

Looking at the two pairs of slaves, a boy, a girl, a woman, and a man, Rose asked in a subdued voice.

“Could there be slaves who haven’t been freed yet?”

It was natural for Rose to harden her face.

After conquering the Lucuma tribe.

The first thing she instructed was to free the slaves captured from other tribes.

The fact that there were still slaves meant that Chief Lucuma had disobeyed that order.

However, instead of being taken aback by Rose’s question, Chief Lucuma answered with a confident expression.

“It can’t be. As you said, we have already freed all slaves from other tribes.”

“Then they are not slaves?”

“Do not worry. This is because these are not slaves captured from other tribes, but slaves bought with my own money. ha ha ha!”

“…”

As if there was no problem.

Laugh heartily for a while.

Chief Lucuma quietly suppressed his laughter as he looked at Rose’s still stiff face.

“Is there something wrong with me…?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“yes?”

I don’t know why you’re angry.

When Rose’s eyes are cold as she sees him making an unfair expression because he is flustered.

Limon smiled and said.

“Hey, Chief Nari. Did you guys buy it here at the job market?”

“That’s right.”

“Then ask me to guide you through the job market. I think my older sister would agree to that.”

“Uh… yes.”

“And when my sister gets angry, even if she does, follow me.”

“…All right.”

Despite showing hesitation, Rose eventually got up from her seat along with Limon.

I thought he must have a reason for saying this.

So after a while.

Arriving in Chief Lucuma’s car at the labor market a short distance from the village, Rose is at a loss for words.

I wouldn’t have been surprised if there had been such a thing as

slaves in chains, desperately desperate, and vile slave traders trying to sell them .

Ever since I heard that Chief Lucuma had bought slaves here, I had already guessed that this place was only a horse manpower market, but actually a slave market.

The problem was that the scenery of the slave market was far different from her expectations.

“Cheap cheap! A slave who does everything from cleaning to cooking chores for only $4! You can get a discount for Egyptian Pounds!”

“I have seven siblings. If you make me your concubine, I am confident that you will give birth to a good child.”

“I know how to shoot. I also have a gun. So don’t think about living cheaply.”

Parents bargaining for the ransom of their children.

A woman who charms an old man.

A child soldier carrying an old rifle on his shoulder and threatening with sharp eyes.

Slaves who somehow try to sell themselves at a high price.

And to Rose, who groans as she sees the children embracing only the crude price tags written by hand without being able to get in between them.

said Limon spitefully.

“How are you, sister? Isn’t the view a bit different from what I thought?”

“…how did this happen?”

“What a common sight.”

“Is it common? Do you mean the sight of people buying and selling slaves among their own tribes, not other tribes?”

Rose couldn’t believe it.

That would be the case, because the people in this market were from the nearest village, the Lucuma tribe.

Even slaves selling themselves.

Even those who buy them.

Even slaves from other tribes, who were occasionally mixed in, were more eager to sell themselves, which made her even more amazed.

“So I told you.”

However, even after seeing the scene, the blonde-tanned boy was not shaken in the slightest.

There seems to be no reason to be surprised at this level.

He’s not calm, but he’s mean like a bully. That’s why he strangely has a more cynical smile on his face.

“Doing what you have to do by your sister’s standards must be harder than you think in Africa.”
