I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 119

[Logan POV]

——Let’s go back in time a little.

◆◆◆◆ After the interview with Cruz ◆◆◆◆

Hmm. His outward appearance may be lacking, but his inner strength is notable. He’s a diamond in the rough.

“Natalie. Could you gather information on bandits from the past few years?”

“Sure! That means I should investigate bandits whose defeat remains unknown, as well as the ones still operating?”

“Exactly. It might help us trace where they’re from. Just make sure to keep the investigation within this territory.”

It’s possible to investigate outside our domain, but it’d be troublesome if that noble caught wind of it.

“On another note, Natalie, when was it that you and Cruz got involved?”

Her belly seems too big for someone who just met him…?

It’s unlikely she kept it a secret from me.

“The day before yesterday. Are you asking about my belly?”

“Yeah. It just seems large for only two days ago.”

“Apparently, slime demi-humans grow really fast… It got noticeably bigger in just one day. I think it’ll be born in a few more days.”

Demi-humans are still a mystery in many ways. If that’s how it is, I’ll just have to accept it.

“I see. I’m looking forward to six months from now. If Natalie’s child does well, more will want to bear children too. The guild could also purchase slaves with its budget and assign them the role of both members and slime bearers.”

“That’s right! Though we haven’t proven anything yet.”

Natalie rubs her belly gently.

It’s no exaggeration to say the future in six months depends on the child in her belly.

The results will come in six months… What should be done in the meantime——

Hm, perhaps I should use personal funds to purchase two slaves. Ones from the high-end residential area would be best.

They cost quite a bit, but I’d rather not offend Cruz-kun by purchasing from the shops I recommended to him.

Having them succeed alongside Natalie’s child would really leave an impression.

◆◆◆◆ High-Class Slave House ◆◆◆◆

“Welcome, Lord Logan. Are you in need of something today?”

“Indeed. Find me around two candidates.”

Upon entering the slave house, I was led to the reception room, where I began negotiations with the head of the establishment, someone I recognized.

I had bought slaves here before when expanding the guild. Of course, it’s expensive, so it’s not something I do often.

“Certainly. Do you have any specific requirements?”

“I intend for a certain individual to impregnate them. Since I don’t know his taste in women, having different types would be preferable. They should also be able to handle standard guild work.”

“I see. Is it the man everyone’s talking about?”

Merchants are always well-informed. He must have sources feeding him intel.

“Who knows? Even if he is, does it concern you?”

“You’re right, my apologies. In that case, I have just the pair in mind. Please wait a moment.”

The proprietor called for his subordinates and ordered them to bring in the two women.

–

A few moments later, the two women were brought into the room by the head servant.

“Greetings, Lord Logan. I am honored to make your acquaintance. I am Marcia.”

“My name is Elina! I look forward to working with you, Lord Logan!”

The first girl who introduced herself, Marcia, had long black hair and a calm demeanor.

The other girl, Elina, had long red hair tied into twin tails. Her deep crimson bear ears twitched with her words, giving her a bit of a playful, tomboyish air.

I see, they’ve picked girls with a different vibe based on both Natalie and that adventurer, Kurinde.

“Hmm, they should do nicely. You both understand what’s expected of you, right?”

“Indeed. We’ve been selected to ensure the continuation of superior genes.”

“Of course! Only the best genes are worthy of someone as exceptional as me!”

Marcia remained calm, while Elina puffed out her chest and flared her nostrils with a proud huff.

“These girls have no issues with their lineage. I’m sure they’ll bear excellent offspring.”

I don’t need to know how they became slaves. If the master recommends them, that should be enough

“Very well. I’ll take them.”

“Thank you very much. Now, here is the cost.”

The price was shown discreetly, likely to prevent the girls from learning their own value.

“We’re honored to be under your care, Lord Logan.”

“Lord Logan! Leave it to me! I’ll have him wrapped around my finger!”

“Good. I’m counting on you!”

It was quite costly at twenty gold pieces, but a good deal nonetheless.

Once back at the guild, I discussed our future plans with the two girls.

Housing them in the guild dorms with the others shouldn’t be a problem.

As for bathing… I guess I’ll let them use our family’s bath. I’ll need to convince my wife though…

Feeling a slight headache coming on, I made my way home.

Nobles often marry their daughters to talented individuals to take in their bloodline, which is why many are gifted.

Of course, their wealth allows for elite education, giving them far greater knowledge than ordinary people.

By the way, there’s no mandatory education for commoners, so they can only read and write at a grade-school level.
