《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 8
Advertisement
Anna POV :
Sigh to be abused liked that day after day that damn nobles, the truth is you see I did gather 5 million gold for the divine life potion which cures just about everything for my brother.
But even though I was able to get the money, the darned priest refused to sell it to me reason being some asshole noble took an interest in me and wanted my body for his sick pleasures.
So with no way out I agreed to the deal and sold myself, after he got tired of abusing me he sold me to slave house but not before threathening ma that if I mention about him or anything he did to me to anybody he could kill my brother, I wonder why though.
But it's better this way i guess, even if my brother knew he could just recklessly charge in and die so better for it to be forgotten, anyway I don't regret it since I was able to see my cute little brother smile happily when he was cured.
Though I thought that could be the last time I saw him but I guess I still have my lucky streak, the one who bought is so innocently cute, interesting contract he made, giving me much freedom and even a chance at escaping slavery.
But I somehow doubt he will let it go just like that, moreover the blood contract did say it will release slavery but not the blood contract, so I will have to be his body guard either way, how cunning hehe, well let's just play along for now.
What should I do now, my owner gave me two days free time and ample money to make preparation for dungeon raiding but it doesn't really take much time to prepare.
Should I visit my brother, yeah that could be nice but he will overreact and it's probably better to watch over him from a distance at least until I can get a clear grasp on what my buyer wants from me.

I guess I should make some money, he did say only to buy equipment but didn't really say that I should not resell it, hehe time to go to auction house.
Maria POV :
I am dragged to auction house, Anna who introduced herself on the way explained to me on how she has experience evaluating weapons and items her plan is to buy cheap but good unidentified items and sell high, though I had my doubts about it, I was soon convinced of her expertise.
The lady made 100 gold within few hours, if she had this ability why did she sell herself anyway, it's probably better not to ask but I am little curious.
She then dragged me to alchemy store to buy ingredients with the money she made from auction, few more hours later the potions she made sold for 500 gold, wow the lady just made my yearly salary in half a day.
Then she dragged me to clothing store, the thing after that is stuff of nightmare for the first time in my life I learned women can be quite disgustingly perverted too.
What she did next wasn't something I could have belived ever if not for me seeing it right now, well dressed I was dragged back to the slave auction house, what the hell does she plan on doing here, no I don't want to be here I will fucking murder them if I see those scumbags again, freeing myself I run away after all even if I am confident in my strength I can't kill them all after all at least for now.
Anna POV :
I watch the girl runaway from me, guess she still got her trauma about this place, even I don't like coming here but as much as I could love not to I still have things that must be done, ignoring the puzzled guards I make my way to the one that sells slaves.

My reason for being here is simple, I want to free the kids I saw down there where I was locked up before, thankfully they aren't the beautiful kind and arent that costly as adults or warriors, after all they are to be sold to poor nobles to do housework.
Anyway for the rate of 5-10 golds each I buy 57 kids, the slaver has good laugh at how a slave is buying slaves but none the less goes through with the deal since all he cares about is gold and it's not like they are special product wanted by nobles he could care less what I do with them, well I guess in this case it's a good thing.
I should probably set them free so my owner doesn't get any funny idea and order me to do something bad, but not here I suppose.
I drag back all the kids to the orphanage I know, I release the slave seal and leave the kids with strong willed priest that runs the orphanage, I have known him for long so I can at least trust him with kids.
The priest is a little surprised to see me as its a known story of how I sold myself to slavery, though a little happy that I am free of that hell hole he looks worried that I am still someone's slave but I comfort him explaining the situation to which he let's out a long sigh.
I also learn that my brother has followed my own path and is currently training himself to become a good hunter with the help of guard captain whom i am familiar with and he is doing that to earn enough gold to free me.
Just like him, ah damn dust in the air.........., I guess I won't be seeing him for a while then, sigh it's better he doesn't know the truth at least for now, I highly doubt my current owner will just willingly sell me back sigh.....
After few more hours of chatting with him I decide it's time to head back.
Jacks POV :
Well I am just grinding the production skills for now but a certain rows of messages, well the thing just informs me about list of action done by my not slaves.
Skimming through it I find what they did and was a little surprised at their action, wow why didn't I think of that damn i could have made some gold with her well not that it matters now i gues.
Anna seems to be a smart and daring she went and bought slaves, we'll I guess she has a good hearth, if it was me I couldn't go to the place that I had been held as a slave, surely she must have suffered I guess the lady's a courageous one.
The other one however seems to be in trouble well not my problem after all I did give her permission to do whatever she wanted, still this earns her a few brownie points for her stupid stunt, hmm. ?....wait what...sigh this is beyond stupid huh, well whatever back to grinding.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
