Chapter 583 There's A Slave Exhibition
We decided to just put aside that call for help she sent for later, since it seemed like it was something that would be automatically activated when she falls unconscious.
It's not like we could do anything about it right now anyway.
"There's a spell like that?" I asked.
Lisa made a face at me, "More like an enchanted item... Some people use that to send a distress signal to family members though it's rather rare since these signals can be faked or even intercepted... I'm surprised that someone like her has that."
Emilia frowned, "I suppose that's how they knew their sister was in trouble... Although I don't remember witnessing a sight like that when we caught her."
Lisa shrugged, "I'm not that familiar with all types of it but perhaps there are some that prevent it from making such a flashy exit when it activates."
I looked at Katsuki, "Do I... Have something like that?"
"Not at all, Mistress. Should I inform the Madam that you would like one prepared for you?"
Oh, that's surprising... I thought for sure that Mother would have placed something like that on me without me knowing.
"Umm... That's not necessary. It's fine. Sorry that we seem to have made more problems for you, Emilia."
Emilia shook her head, "I can handle that, though I'm more worried that it might have implicated you in this as well."
I didn't even get to respond to her words before my companions all spoke up, even Delmare.
"We will make sure nothing happens to Mistress."
"Wahahaha! I'll protect Sister from anything, don't worry!"
"Ehehe~ Me too~ I'll do anything for your pleasures, my lady~"
"Ah... I... I will protect you too!"
As much as I appreciate the sentiments of everyone, I'm more worried that all of you might put yourself in danger because of this.
Oh well, I already resolved myself to protect them as well so it's fine.
Emilia then gestured to the other slaves that were still cowering in the corner, "Speaking of which, Lady Nilm... Are you interested in any of them?"
Oh yeah... After the scuffle with both Crystal and her sister, I completely forgot why I was here in the first place.
I used [Screened] on them but found no one that caught my attention.
"Unfortunately, I don't think any of them fit my needs so I'm afraid that I'll have to decline."
Emilia gave me a disappointed look even though I could tell that was faked, "Is that so? That's a shame. I apologise once again for the inconvenience caused, Lady Nilm. If it's not too much to ask, would you allow me to repay you at another date? Maybe I can bring you around the city if you would like and introduce you to some of its specialties?"
I was about to tell her that it was unnecessary but I saw the look in her eyes.
All the slave traders stepped aside to let him pass, several of them looking at him in awe while others looked either annoyed or confused by his appearance.
He came near us but Odeta remained standing in the way, not even budging despite him being a whole head taller than she was.
For some reason, he seemed oddly happy to see that.
"Ha ha! These are very impressive servants you have with you, young lady! Especially this little slave right here!" He laughed.
I thought he was talking about Odeta but he was looking at Katsuki when he said the last part.
How did he even know she was a slave? Her slave collar was even hidden from view by her maid uniform.
Katsuki simply narrowed her eyes at him in response, not even remotely impressed.
The man shifted his gaze to me, "Ah, don't worry, I'm not trying to buy her or anything like that. I'm Bjorn! A slave trainer here! I just wanted to ask if you might be interested in participating in the slave exhibition happening three days from now?"
He pulled out some kind of pamphlet and tried to hand it to me but Odeta remained where she was to block him from getting any closer.
She seemed to be taking a role as my guard really seriously.
Katsuki was looking at me and I realised she was waiting for my instruction so I nodded at her, prompting my Inugami maid to step forward to receive the paper from him and pass it to me.
I received it from her and took a look at its contents.
Apparently it was some kind of exhibition where slave trainers show off the slaves they trained or something and there's a panel of judges who would decide the best trainer depending on how the slave performed.
They even had different categories for the type of slave like whether they were combat slaves, pleasure slaves, or even monster slaves.
The slaves would be tested in their abilities and their obedience. For the pleasure slaves, members of the audience are even invited to try them out for themselves.
There's a note at the bottom that says that an auction would also be held for the slaves meant for sale so the exhibition also served as some kind of marketing for these slaves.
What the fuck is this? Is this like some kind of dog show or something?
I actually want to say that this is pretty fucked up but I suppose this was just something normal in this World.
I already know that to some slaves, this would be their chance at a better life so they would also try their best to appeal to the type of owner they wish to serve under.
I wanted to reject the invitation but Lisa suddenly moved to my side and whispered, "Aster! Let's go! Pretty please?"
Ah... She's interested in the pleasure slaves I guess...
Fine... I suppose we can just check it out. No need for Katsuki to participate in the first place.
But seriously... Who the heck came up with the idea of a slave exhibition? I'm actually quite curious how this even came up in the first place...
This World is just full of interesting things isn't it?
