Chapter 15
「This is terrible…」
The slave I bought today had severe burns all over her face.
Her original face was so disfigured that I could not make out what she used to look like at all.
Her legs were also damaged.
Like this, she would be unsellable. So once again, I got her for about 20G.
「What’s your name?」
「Freyja… Freyja Ardemic.」
「Freyja huh… why does that name sound familiar?」
For some reason, the sound of that name gave me a sense of déjà vu.
Anyway, first I healed Freyja’s legs and face.
「Wow… Thank you so much master…!」
「Ah, yeah…」
When I healed Freyja’s face, to my surprise, I recognized it.
She looked exactly like that slave girl named Hallelujah whom I had previously sold to the Count.
Freyja was a girl around the same age as Hallelujah, with the same name and face.
I could hardly believe they were complete strangers.
「Hey Freyja. Do you have any siblings?」
「Yes, I have a younger sister… But now that I’ve become a slave, we’ve been separated… I’ll probably never see her again…」
Freyja sadly lowered her head and said that.
So in other words… Hallelujah must be Freyja’s sister…?
「Freyja, what’s your sister’s name?」
「Hallelujah.」
「I knew it…」
「You knew…?」
「Wait here a minute, I think I know that name.」
「Huh…?」
I hurriedly sent a letter to Count Semond.
I asked him to please come to my trading house again, adding I would give him a discount.
Then, Count Semond immediately came with Hallelujah.
「Lord Eld, thank you for inviting me. Now, which slave did you want to show me…?」
「Here she is.」
I introduced Freyja to Count Semond.
「Isn’t she the spitting image of my Hallelujah?」
「That’s right. They’re sisters. So um…if you wouldn’t mind…」
「Of course. Hallelujah will be delighted too. Let’s take this Freyja.」
「That’s great.」
I sold Freyja to Count Semond for 5,000G.

「Freyja…!」
「Hallelujah…!」
When I brought the two together, they both teared up and embraced each other.
Then looking at me, they said in the same tone:
「Lord Eld… I don’t know what to say… Thank you so much for reuniting us sisters! We thought we’d never see each other again… To think we get to work in the same estate is like a dream come true.」
「I had resigned myself to never seeing you again… And now we get to be together, it’s unbelievable…」
Well, I did sell her a bit cheap but this is for the best.
Sisters should be in the same place.
This much, just my sympathy…no, my whim.
「Just to confirm, you two don’t have any other estranged siblings right?」
「Haha…no we don’t.」
And so, case closed.
Hallelujah and Freyja happily went with Count Semond.

After that, I kept selling slaves.
I received a large order from Earl Edmond, Shandi’s father.
Earl Edmond felt greatly indebted to me over the Shandi incident, and promised to always procure from my shop.
This time, the revived Edmond family needed many slaves to rebuild their household from scratch.
They wanted to purchase 10-odd slaves from my trustworthy shop.
I hurried to the slave market and bought 13 random discounted slaves.
「Treating all these at once will be…quite tough…」
Resigned to my fate, I relentlessly cast healing magic.
「Haa…haa…」
But by curing the Earl here, I could build more goodwill for later reliance.
I was determined to treat the slaves no matter what.
Seeing my serious attitude, the slaves gossiped among themselves.
「Look at our lord’s intense expression…」
「You’re right, he’s trying so hard to heal our injuries…」
「Our lord is like…an angel.」
Damn…don’t just make up stuff.
I’m only doing this for my own benefit, to curry favor!
「Haa…haa… Finally done…」
It took me three days and nights, but I finished treating everyone.
Honestly, I nearly died but this was good training.
If I run out of strength and can’t heal in an emergency, it’ll be meaningless.
Even if I sustain some injuries, I need to be able to heal myself like this much.
When I delivered the slaves, Earl Edmond was very pleased.
Apparently, they were all filled with gratitude for me and very loyal.
「Master Eld, thank you! We will work hard for the Edmond family and not tarnish your reputation…!」
「Oh, I’ll be counting on you…」
The slaves were all like this.
「Lord Eld, your skill at training slaves is superb. They are all so obedient.」
Earl Edmond praised me as such.
「No, I just healed them.」
「Haha, but even that shows your excellence. I will come to you again.」
「Yes, please do.」
The money I spent purchasing slaves this time was 1,690G.
I received 126,690G from Earl Edmond.
This deal earned me a profit of 125,000G.
