Chapter 244
Serena's POV
Something I want to do...?
Hmm, I'm really not sure.
Dad and MamaIshtas told me...
'Serena, there's probably nothing you can't do, so you shouldn't do anything unless it's something you really want to do!'
That's what they said.
What I want to do is just live a life like Dad.
That's my ideal... but, since I was born with Mama and Dad's abilities... it's troublesome.
Hero, Saint, Sage, Sword Saint... Hmm, I don't aspire to be any of those.
When I consulted with Fleur, she said, "You're still young, so you can take your time to think about it."
Certainly, that's true, but since I'm immortal, I'll probably stop aging around Dad's age and remain that way, with no growth or death.
In reality, I will die eventually, but apparently, I'll live longer than the stars and the universe.
So, taking it slow is not an option.
If I think about it slowly, I'll keep putting it off indefinitely.
I have to search for something I want to do.

In the end, without finding anything I wanted to do, the day of the slave market arrived.
* * *
"Speaking of which, what is a slave market?"
"Well, the slave market is divided into two parts. One is where slave traders from various countries sell their merchandise, and the other is where rare slaves are auctioned off."
"Wow, Fleur, you know everything."
"I did some dirty work behind the scenes, so it's only natural that I know this much..."
"Impressive, Fleur. If it's such a large-scale market, are there people like you?"
Like me?
By people like me, you mean 'villainous older women' or 'villainous noble daughters,' right?
"Perhaps there are those who are considered my rivals in this country! There was someone named Rosalia, and I heard she was quite formidable... Although she disappeared at one point and her whereabouts are unknown... There was also Princess Marin from a small kingdom, but she was executed and her head was displayed, so she's dead now."
Princess Marin... That was the name of Zect-oniichan's wife, but they must be different people.
"Oh, Rosalia, huh? Is she similar to you, Fleur?"
"Well, I haven't met her... It's just that in successive generations, the name 'Fleur' is used in the Kingdom, while the name 'Rosalia' is used in the Empire... That's the only information I've heard."
"I see..."
"By the way, if it's a slave market organized by the Orcman Clan, it might be a good idea to purchase a pamphlet."
"A pamphlet?"
"Yes, it should contain information about the market, such as what types of slaves are being sold in each shop, and for the auction, it should indicate what kind of slaves are being offered."
But why does Fleur know so much about this?
"But you know a lot."
"Well, that's because I've acquired various information for practical purposes."
"I see."
I wonder what she means by "various." Well, it's probably not necessary to ask.
"Well then, have a safe trip."
"Fleur, aren't you coming with me?"
"If I accompany you, Serena-sama might find it difficult to choose a slave."
"Hmm, you're right about that."
"If it were another slave market, I would accompany you because there's a higher chance of being tricked into buying inferior slaves. But the Orcman Clan's slave market is reputable, so feel free to go and have a look."
Come to think of it, Dad mentioned someone named Orcman-san, who helped him when he was searching for a bride for the villagers.
"In that case, I'll go without hesitation."
"Have a safe trip."
And so, amidst the lack of finding anything I truly wanted to do, I headed towards the slave market.
* * *
"Come on, come on, the Orcman clan family is holding a slave market... There are plenty of high-quality slaves this time, have a look..."
The entrance fee was three copper coins (about 3,000 yen), and the pamphlet cost two silver coins (about 20,000 yen).
However, this money would be refunded if you purchased a slave...
Indeed, it does seem as Fleur said, quite reasonable.
* * *
After that, I bought a frankfurter from a food stall and ate it while looking at the pamphlet.
I wonder where to start...
I hope I can find an ideal partner like my moms or someone like Fleur.
