Chapter 246
Serena's POV
Come to think of it, I never asked for her name.
"Onee-san, what's your name?"
"Hehehe, what a funny guy, asking me for my name... Well, fine, it's Elsa."
"So, your name is Elsa..."
But she's so beautiful~
She's like a combination of Freya Mama and Haruka Mama.
She has a big chest and tall stature, but her waist is slim... Just like what Dad calls a "Bon/kyu/bon (Hourglass figure, having a good-looking, full-bodied figure (of a woman), big breasts and buttocks, tight waist)."
"But why are you drunk, Elsa?"
"I have Hero Syndrome, so I have to do this... I'm getting alcohol as part of our agreement not to escape... If I want to, I can easily break out of this cage."
But she smells like alcohol.
And what is this Hero Syndrome? Let's appraise it.
I tried appraising it without an incantation, but there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal.
It's strange, nothing seems abnormal... Maybe it's just that her power is strong.
"What do you mean by not being able to control your power?"
"Hahaha, because I can't control my power, I end up breaking things easily and if I hug someone, they'd be crushed to death. I can't interact with people normally."
"You don't have to worry about that. Can you lend me that steel sword?"
"I guess it's fine."
I held the sword with my right hand and grabbed the blade with two fingers, pulling it with all my strength.
"See, it stretched... I don't think you need to worry about this much power."
"Wow, amazing! Could it be that you have the same... Hero Syndrome?"
"Hmm, it's just that I can do this through normal training."
"Is that so... That's amazing."
"Besides, everyone around me can do things like that, so you're worrying too much."
"Is that so? There are amazing people out there, huh?"
"Well, yeah... So, Elsa, are you perhaps for sale too?"
"This is a slave market... I'm for sale... But I'll tell you upfront, I'm a criminal slave. Will you still buy me? Besides, I'm getting older and I have Hero Syndrome, so I have no value at all... Is that okay?"
"Other than having strong power, is there anything else about Hero Syndrome?"
"I'll tell you since it's not 'fair (in katakana)', but I have resistance to the pain caused by the Slave Crest..."
"Well, I don't mind."
"Is that so? In a way, it's amazing."
"...? Is that right?"
* * *
"So, you're buying Elsa? She has severe Hero Syndrome and could potentially kill people with her brute strength. The Slave Crest doesn't work effectively on her, so you won't be able to protect yourself in critical situations... I want you to understand that," The slave trader explained with a concern.
"No problem."
"And since Elsa is a criminal slave, if you purchase her, it will be a 'lifelong slave contract,' and you won't be able to let her go. Is that okay with you?"
Well, it's not an issue.
"That's fine."
"Is that so? In that case, the price for Elsa is one silver (銀貨/Ginka) coin (about 10,000 yen), and the price for the Slave Crest is three silver (銀貨/Ginka)
coins... So, the total will be four silver (銀貨/Ginka)
coins. Is that acceptable to you?"
"That's quite cheap."
"She's 30 years old, and she has severe Hero Syndrome. She can break things and potentially kill people... She has no value! But there's a rule in the kingdom that people can't sell a slave for less than one silver coin, so I can't go lower than that... I'm sorry."
"I understand. Please proceed."
And with that, I gained my second companion.
