Chapter 293 – I Did Everything but You.
I think the words left by the old sages like proverbs are the truth of the world.
That’s because it’s a word that has been handed down with people’s sympathy for a long time.
Statistically speaking, it is the correct word to say that it has bought people’s sympathy and satisfied their spirits for a long time. In other words, it becomes a story that is close to the truth.
Therefore, my idea that proverbs are truth is probably correct.
One hundred words are not enough.
It is said that it is better to show once than to say a hundred words. It is much more efficient to give a positive experience even once if the salespeople explain the performance and say that it is good while salivating until their mouths are dry.
There was an atmosphere where everyone could not sympathize with my opinion on improving the treatment of slaves. To be precise, I feel a physiological sense of repulsion at the treatment of slaves.
It is a natural world that discriminates against people based on class, where human rights have not been established in the first place.
Even Trisian, who was considered to be quite righteous among the people he met, thought that the people of the territory were the property of the lord.
So, you don’t have to ask what other people think.
Most of the slaves there are human beings who have committed crimes. Even in the modern world with human rights, there are many people who do not see criminals as people, but it is very obvious how people in this world without human rights view slaves.
The underlying thought makes the slave into an expendable item that doesn’t matter if you roll it at will and kill it.
The result is a fabric of poor quality that we received today.
Slaves are people too. It’s not a moral story. The slave’s hardware is talking about being human. That’s the truth Humans must create an environment in which they can work efficiently.
When I got home, I sat back on the bed and talked to my girls.
Thermia, who heard me, nodded her head.
“Hmm… It seems like that too… Certainly, even if you are like me, you will make mistakes if you work 18 hours every day.”
“Still, there is something objectionable about the need to improve the treatment of slaves.”
Germi, on the other hand, sticks out her mouth, still showing no sympathy.
“The slaves who work in the textile mills are important.”
“So they are slaves, right?”
“I am not just a slave. Slaves who were ‘taught the art’. Depending on the proficiency of the slaves working in the textile factory, the quality and quantity of the fabrics produced will improve.”
“Is it important that you taught the skill…”
Germi stroked her chin and thought about her.
Humans cannot easily abandon their stereotypes. Aside from Germi’s basic understanding of the slaves, Germi’s attitude to focus on the point of ‘teaching skills’ as I said is admirable.
I feel like they’re listening when I talk, so it’s really cute.
With that thought in mind, I was looking at Germi with happy eyes, as if I had noticed her gaze, and her eyes met Germi’s.
“What, what? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Hmm? What?”
“You looked at me with greasy eyes.”
“It must be because of my mood.”
“There’s no way I, being of mixed blood, couldn’t have felt it wrong… Hmm? Are there bandages folded there?”
Saying that, Germi reached out to the nape of my neck.
I stayed still, wondering if he was trying to straighten the bandage, but I met Elena’s eyes with her eyes wide open.
Clearly bewildered eyes.
Realizing that something was wrong belatedly, I tried to step back, but Germi was faster than I was.
The bandages were wrapped by Elena.
And as for Elena, she is an alchemist and is somewhat familiar with mechanisms such as the recovery of the human body, but that is literally ‘knowing’.
They are far from experienced therapists.
As a result, the bandage Elena had wrapped around my neck and shoulder to cover the kiss marks was very loosely wrapped, and the loosely wrapped bandage was easily undone with Germi’s single gesture.
“Oh. Sorry, the bandage came off…”
Germi was taken aback by the loosening of the bandage and apologized, but soon blurted out her words. Her gaze stings at her kiss marks on the nape of her neck.
“This mark… The one who wrapped the bandage was Elena-san… And obviously, the person I was with yesterday was Elena-san…”
Germi mumbles and puts together a puzzle in her head. Quickly, he infers what happened to her head.
“Miss Elena?”
“Hiccup. Yes.”
“Do you think you need an explanation?”
“That, that…”
Alas, it seems wrong to have easily passed over.
“Crab, Gerumi? Calm down for a while…”
“I am very calm now. As a result, aren’t you demanding an explanation from Elena-san even now?”
“That, that… Therefore…”
How pitiful it is to see Elena bewildered as she stutters! She has to help somehow!
“Germi, this is, so… Yes mosquitoes! It’s a mosquito bite.”
“Don’t give a damn.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Germi’s intimidating appearance, she shut her mouth.
Elena… Sorry. I don’t think I can help
“If you can’t answer, let me guess. These kiss marks on the nape of Hansung’s neck were made by Elena, right?”
“Yes…”
“I said I shouldn’t have sex because I need to relax… You mean you ate Hanseong alone like this, cutting in line like this?”
“Yes…”
Elena answers Germi’s question with her head bowed like a scolded child. She gave Germi a puzzled look.
“This, such a modest act…”
Hermione trembles with her fists clenched. You seem pretty upset… ?
“Crab, Gerumi. I seduced you to have sex.”
“You shut up. The first person who said no to sex was Elena. Can’t she even keep up with what she said?”
“…”
On that point, Elena shut her mouth as if she had nothing to say.
The other women are also subtly avoiding Germi’s gaze.
Yes, in fact, there is no one in this group other than Germi who has not had sex with me.
Germia was honestly keeping her promise!!
“What if the first person to say something goes wrong! I was holding back all the other people wanting to have sex too!”
“Coke! Coke!”
The old man, who was drinking water in one corner of her, knocked her on the chest and coughed at her, as if he could hear the breath.
Germi’s eyes turned to Roin. Since Germi was currently the center of the room, she naturally drew the eyes of the people in the room to the old man.
Roin, who had been coughing repeatedly, looked at her surroundings to see how much she had calmed down and put on a shy expression.
“Sorry~”
“Are you okay.”
Germi, who she understood was her apology for interrupting the flow of the conversation, threw her hand away, but Roin laughed awkwardly.
“No… Not that…”
“Hmm?”
“I’m sorry for leaving Elena-san alone… Actually, I did too.”
“Uh, huh?”
Germi, who was angry at Roin’s honest confession, widened her eyes.
“What…”
“I’m sorry. I did too…”
Confession of Natalia, who was on the other side this time.
Germi, who was angry with Elena, seemed to be enraged that three of her five women broke her promise and cut in line.
“Isn’t everyone doing too much?! Aren’t you worried about Hanseong’s body?! My arm hasn’t fully healed yet, how could that be!”
“Sorry…”
Perhaps thanks to the fact that she had an accomplice, Elena’s apologetic expression became more relaxed.
Yes, jaywalking is less guilty if a group of people cross their arms together.
“Besides, Natalie, Roin, you always hung out with Hansung! It’s the same when I go to Arpagon to pick up Elena! It’s the same when I go to the forest near the city to help the guards this time! Thermia and I spent every night alone while you and Hanseong were together!”
“Crab, Gerumi…”
“Why! Is your sister not even angry?! Everyone broke their promise!”
“Not that…”
“Sister? No way…”
He must have felt a sense of deja vu and incongruity in Thermia’s hesitant attitude.
“Sorry… I did it too.”
“What…”
Thermia’s unexpected betrayal. Germi took a step or two back and bumped her back against the wall.
Yes, Germi alone kept the promise in this room.
“Such nonsense…”
Betrayed by everyone. No, the fact that she was the only one who kept her promise made Germi feel more than angry and stifling her.
“Sister… How, when I was flirting with Hanseong before, I was considerate and let the two of us spend the day together…”
“Sorry…”
“Me, me? Wasn’t it just me?”
“Germi… I did everything but you…”
Germi, who was betrayed in a good way by everyone, stared at the ceiling in her room, unable to speak.
Her silence, which filled her room, was the only thing that comforted her.
