With the acquisition of the mansion, having so many slaves made the feeling of responsibility for their lives even stronger.

Although I knew that it was not the same as keeping a dog or cat, I guess I still felt somewhat similar to that until now.

To begin with, even dogs, cats, and small birds have a heavy responsibility to take care of their children’s lives.

It is especially true for human beings and even more so when it is about a large group of several people.

Until now, the unrealistic environment of sheltering slaves in the forest must have seemed like something else.

I feel like throwing up under the weight of the responsibility that I have now accepted as a reality, but I have to hold my ground because if I do, I might make the girls, who are my slaves, uneasy.

I can’t help but wonder if this is how it feels to be a father of a child.

I strongly thought to myself, ‘I will do my best so that the slaves can live with a smile on their faces.’

“Look, here they come…”

“They really are beautiful, aren’t they? I envy their masters. I bet they have fun every night.”

“I heard that their master has bought the villa of that fallen nobleman.”

“Ah, so that’s why we’ve been seeing so many of them around town these days.”

The always noisy Adventurers’ Guild got suddenly quieted by the entrance of four women.

Their races were varied—elves, humans, beastmen, and dragonoids— but they were all beautiful, slaves, and dressed in the same maid uniform.

In the beginning, a few tried to cause mischief to the girls because of their beauty, but they all just quietly stared at them now.

The men who have gotten involved with them have all been beaten back with things they hesitate to even describe, but let’s just say they have done something that would make their sons shrivel inside.

While they were listening to the explanation from the receptionist at the counter and choosing their quests, they saw a huge, muscular man approaching them, not even bothering to hide his disgusting expressions.

“Hey, I don’t know whose slave you are, but a man who turns women into adventurers and makes them work for him is not much of a man! What do you say? Won’t you be my slave? I can help you with that quest if you want. Of course, I’m not saying it’s for free!”

“I see, so if we complete this quest, we can take the practical test to move up one rank in our party?”

“Y-yes. That’s right, that’s right.”

“Don’t ignore me, you b*****s!”
