I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 33 - A Thorough Examination

After arriving home, I walk around to see if the girls are already done with their small tour. I stumble on a few of the elves wandering through corridors so I guess they are. When asked, they say that they are just familiarizing themselves more with their new home. Two of them are already taking their new job very seriously and I find Filue and Cinra checking the rooms and dusting them off here and there.

This makes me realize that I'll have to think of something for them to spend their free time on. For at least a few weeks more, they won't be able to freely go out of the mansion and I don't want them to start feeling like they are imprisoned, even though they'd never admit something like that.

First, we need collars. Uniforms would help too. Then I need to check the castle's library records in hopes to find some more info about breaking the slavery seals when you aren't the owner. So far, I only have some vague information on that and my Class or skill set isn't really helping here. With them clear of all the restrictions, it would get much safer to wander through the town.

They definitely are at least Tier 3 since they lived for hundreds of years already so even if someone gets some weird ideas they should be able to protect themselves just fine. And it's not like the free demi-humans are getting scooped off the streets literally all the time. The slavers almost always aim for the harmless ones or look for a less risky chance of capturing them around the borders of the kingdoms and in the wilds.

I'm a little bit too overcautious here with how strong the girls with me are. Sirgia can most likely squash your usual human into a paste if anyone tried anything against her. Safi and Emi are quite the special case since they are Slimes and just that makes them much more eye-catching than your typical non-human race person walking around. But I don't think they mind staying here around me all the time. At least for now.

Now that I think of it, it may actually be a good idea to start registering the girls as combat slaves. I can break their seals when I'm able to, leave the collars on them and visit the guild as an adventurer, which I technically am, and make them record the fact that they are my possession, also issuing them their own, combat slave badges. They don't check if and what type of seal is placed on the slaves. It's not that uncommon for adventurers to buy combat slaves. It's both efficient and safer since they can just literally abandon them if things go south, which totally irritates me when even just thinking about it.

But with that, there will exist a solid proof in guild records and also in the form of their universal combat slave badge. I think it's a good idea. I'll have to discuss that with everyone and hear them out. Maybe I can figure something out for Safi and Emi too. The system already says they are my familiars. I'll need to pay a visit to the Monster Tamer's guild. Even if this somehow works like I'm hoping for, I still wouldn't let them go out alone, but if they would be accompanying me, that should be fine.

Anyway, that's a plan, I need to add it to my to-do list. I should create it first. There's so much stuff we need to take care of now that I should better start keeping track of it.

On the way to my room, I check on Sirgia to see how she's doing. She's working on the projects I've discussed with her previously, using almost all her free time on them. No matter what I say to her, she just won't slow it down. I guess that's just how she is. I hope she'll allocate more of it to her own development and ideas when we are done with the workshop. I'm happy that she works so hard for me and it certainly is extremely beneficial, but I want her to think about herself much more. This might actually be quite hard to achieve with how affectionate she started being towards me.

We spend some time together in her room. I cuddle up to her on my lap while we talk about various things, like some of my ideas, her solutions and inventions to make them real, her goals or dreams and just generally about her past or artifacts. I love hearing her speak about her passion. She gets so much more lively during it. She also gets a bit less backed-off and often sneaks some kisses by herself or even voices out her thoughts about wanting them. She seems so mature and dependable and at the same time unimaginably adorable and innocent.
