Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 65

65―――――

No choice!

Protagonist deployment!

‘What, what is it?

I’m sure I gave them the aphrodisiac, so why are they so fine?’

Baron Conean was dumbfounded.

The aphrodisiac worked very well on the elven women who skillfully manipulated mana, and on the beastkin women who excelled in martial arts.

His expectation was that even if those two didn’t fall into a completely dazed state, they would at least be somewhat unable to control their bodies, like someone drunk.

But as he looked at her now, the woman sitting on the bed was staring at him not with hazy eyes from the aphrodisiac, but with eyes that gleamed so brightly it gave him goosebumps.

He had added a colorless, odorless aphrodisiac that rarely failed. Could she have noticed it?

“Hmm… I smell a strange woman on Master’s body.”

“Lysie, this is…”

“I know everything.

It’s just a level where it’s transferred to your body, you weren’t directly touched.”

The knight, who had been smiling brightly, turned her head to look at Baron Conean, and soon her expression turned icy.

Her appearance was so terrifying that the baron swallowed hard.

“If you had done the same thing to Master as you did just now, I would have cut off that precious head on your shoulders.

You’re still lucky.”

Her tone implied that she already knew what they were trying to do to them.

Lillith clicked her tongue and immediately straightened up all the people who had been bowing their heads to the floor.

“If you don’t disappear from my sight within three seconds, I’ll eat you all up.”

As soon as those words fell, the sturdy men all jumped outside.

Baron Conean was very curious as to what had happened that had turned the soldiers, who had been well-trained, into such a state.

Thud.

Suddenly, a hand landed on the baron’s shoulder.

Sion smiled and deliberately put his arm around his shoulder in an exaggerated manner, saying.

“It seems like you were trying to do something quite interesting.”

“Th, that’s…”

“If you do this, the terms of the deal will be a little tougher.

Would that be okay?”

Baron Conean glanced around.

There was a woman who was said to be a mage but didn’t look like one at all.

And there was a knight who stuck close to Sion Clauss and acted cute, but whose eyes held a chilling coldness as she glanced at him.

‘…I’m screwed.’

If he messed up the deal, Sion would just shout, ‘There’s a slave market here! A slave market has appeared!’ and spread the word all over town.

If that happened, the royal family would definitely come down with an iron fist in a few days and smash this place to pieces.

“Wait, just wait a moment, Young Master Sion.”

“Do you have something to say?”

“I admit this side made a mistake.

I also apologize.

I’m sorry.

It wasn’t to threaten you, but just to give you a sense of crisis…”

“Giving a sense of crisis means drugging other people’s women and going to see them in a daze?

Lysie.

Did the definition of the word ‘crisis’ that I know change in the meantime?”

“As far as I know, that’s not the case.”

‘So I’m told?’

Sion’s expression seemed to ask what he was going to do now.

He had said he would do well in front of them, but behind their backs he was thinking of stabbing them in the back, so he was wondering whether to quietly let it go or detonate a bomb, depending on how he spoke and the sincerity he brought.

“Woah, I’ll add whatever you want.”

“Are you thinking of getting something else to eat again?”

“Absolutely not.

I’m just giving it to you as a way of saying please take care of me…”

Just as Baron Conean was about to continue speaking, a man entered without any tact.

“Baron?”

‘That tactless bastard!

Is he crazy and wants to die?’ Baron Conean thought.

But if he showed a completely shaken appearance here, he would only increase his weaknesses, so he tried to suppress his emotions as much as possible and opened his mouth with an effort.

“What’s going on?”

“The merchants have just brought in new goods.

You need to inspect them once…”

“Damn it!

You guys can just take care of that…”

He stopped and glanced at Sion.

Sion’s reaction was, ‘Don’t worry about me and just do what you were doing.’

‘…Damn it.

Now I have no choice but to lie flat on my stomach.’

Once he gave up his lingering feelings and made up his mind, it was easy to open his mouth.

“Sir Sion.

Isn’t there anything you really want?”

“I prefer cash to physical goods.”

“O, of course I’ll give you the transaction money.

I’ll give you everything!

Of course, of course!”

The baron’s well-groomed appearance from before was gone, and what reappeared was a coward who was frozen in fear that things might go wrong.

“But you might change your mind if you see the new goods, right?

New goods have just arrived, so it wouldn’t be bad to go see them together.”

“What are you saying?

Do you really want to die?

Why do you keep tempting my man down a strange path?”

Lillith’s reaction was that she didn’t like this situation very much.

She didn’t want to think that Sion was turning his eyes to another woman, but still, men are creatures who always say that the more the better.

Money, power, and women.

“If Baron Conean is so desperate, I can’t help but follow him.”

Fortunately, Sion seemed to be a man as well.

Thanks to this, Baron Conean was about to let out a sigh of relief, but Sion’s deal, which would make even Satan cry, continued.

“Instead, if I follow you to that inspection site or whatever, and there’s nothing I like, I might want to receive that much money.”

“….”

You money-crazed human!

Why do you want so much money!

Clauss has a lot of money too!

That cry kept tickling Baron Conean’s lips.

Of course, he sells slaves to nobles at high prices, but he also has to give a lot of money to the slave traders who bring in the slaves.

In addition, the money that goes out to those who work here and some of the people in the castle who know the secret is not a small amount.

In the end, he couldn’t escape this job because he didn’t have much money in his hands, but Sion Clauss came along and said, ‘Good things are good!’ and wanted to share some of it.

“Ahaha!

W, of course!

If you don’t like the goods, I’ll give you something else right away!”

The law was far away, the fist was close, and the sword was even closer.

In the end, Baron Conean threw the determination he had made earlier somewhere far away, and now he had to take Sion with him to where the goods had just arrived, with a terrifying mage and a knight with a cold aura behind him.

“Master.

If that guy does anything else, can I cut him down?”

“Let’s see.

Lysie.

You never know, right?”

“What do you mean you don’t know?

He’s obviously a mastermind.

I hate guys like that the most.”

The baron wanted to ask if the mastermind was the man next to you.

Just a few months ago, there were rumors that he was a failure of the Clauss March, a spoiled brat who only knew how to enjoy himself thanks to his well-to-do father, a lecher who indulged in alcohol and women, and a good-for-nothing.

But all of that had changed completely in a month.

A promise to always stand in front when attacking and to be at the very back when retreating, a man who fought in the front to fulfill that promise and jumped into hell himself to save a soldier who had fallen behind.

A war hero who opened the castle gates wide before the enemy’s siege and used psychological warfare to make the enemies lose their will to attack and return on their own.

‘Is that all?

At a party hosted by the royal family, he led the nobles to harmony with just a few words, and became the protagonist of the party naturally even though he didn’t promote himself!

He even showed an indifferent reaction even though he was caught up in the Kashgar rebellion and had the weakness of not being able to handle mana!’

On top of that, he had excellent lute playing skills, outstanding singing ability, and even tremendous chess skills that surpassed Nudia’s chess king, so it was so amazing that it was scary.

What was he thinking to hide all those talents and live so quietly while receiving the finger-pointing and ridicule of the world?

‘I thought that was the end!

This is crazy!’

But when he found out, he was an even worse man than the rumors said.

He suddenly barged in and said he wanted to see the slave market.

He had two beautiful women by his side, so he thought he was a man who liked women, so he guided him, but then he suddenly said he would live together and openly robbed other people’s pockets.

What’s more, when he tried to gain a slightly advantageous position, the women he brought with him were all so terrifying that it didn’t even work!

‘Damn it!’

He wanted to swear at him, but Baron Conean couldn’t even do that.

“Why the expression?

Did you chew something bad?”

“Ahaha!

Th, that can’t be.”

“That’s a relief.

I was going to sand you down a bit because your expression was dirty.”

He wondered if he was really a war hero, and if it wasn’t this man but another man who had jumped into the battlefield to save soldiers.

This was more vicious than a neighborhood thug!

“By the way, we’re going to a more secluded place.

You’re not thinking of anything strange, are you, Baron?”

As Sion’s fist poked him in the side, Baron Conean jumped up and waved his hands, saying that he would never do that.

“Absolutely not.

The entrance where goods come and go is through the waterway, so it has to be in such a remote place.

Ahaha!”

“Why are you laughing?

You’re grinning, which is quite suspicious.

Sion.

Shouldn’t we just bury him?”

The woman who was said to be a mage was just as fierce.

He was starting to think that the knight who kept drawing and sheathing her sword with that cold expression was the safest.

“It’s been a while.

Baron.

But who are the people behind you…?”

“Show me the goods quickly.”

“Ah, yes.

I understand.”

Unlike the image that usually comes to mind when you think of a merchant, the slave trader, who had a rather sleek body and face, removed the thick waterproof cloth, revealing the new ‘goods’ inside, chained and tied with ropes and chains while wearing mana cuffs [devices that suppress magical abilities].

“Is the quantity four in total?”

“Yes.

And all of them are beastkins, of the Myo-eun tribe.”

“This is the first time four Myo-eun have come in at once, isn’t it?”

“I was lucky.

When I caught one, the other three fell into the trap on their own.”

At the slave trader’s words, Baron Conean glanced at Sion behind him and patted the slave trader’s shoulder several times to mean he had worked hard.

He told him that he would give him a generous price and asked him to wait in the temporary tent for a while, and the baron pointed to the Myo-eun, who had been completely subdued and was barely twitching his fingers and toes.

“Ahem.

The Myo-eun I saw earlier was too docile, so it was a bit much.

But the ones I just caught…”

Clang, clang!

Krrr!

Even though they were doubly and triply bound with mana cuffs, chains, and ropes that prevented them from using mana, and even had gags in their mouths, the Myo-eun woman reacted violently.

Especially, the murderous intent that rose from her eyes was so strong that she seemed ready to tear Baron Conean into dozens of pieces as soon as the chains and ropes were released.

“Hmm? Come to think of it, this one looks a little young.”

Clang!

Kiek!

Kyaak!

Kyak!

As if not knowing that she had a gag in her mouth, the other three women began to scream all sorts of strange noises at the same time as the baron snatched a Myo-eun girl.

Their momentum was considerable, but as if he was used to this kind of thing now, he dragged the girl indifferently and threw her in front of Sion.

“For reference, Myo-eun’s immature bodies are quite rare.

The price is almost 500 gold coins.”

“Is there such an expensive reason?”

“In the beginning, they don’t follow people well due to their beastkin characteristics, so there’s a taste to raising them, but if you coax them well, they still have the nature of a cub that follows the other person well.

There’s a taste to educating them and a fun to making them tender, so isn’t it just the right thing?”

“….”

Baron Conean always said things in such a strange way.

Sion briefly wondered if he should just cut ties with that guy, but now that he had completely surrendered and was going to give him everything he wanted, he had to take everything he could get.

Thinking that way, he nodded, and Baron Conean seemed to mistake it for satisfaction.

Hehe, he went into humble mode, and with a very cautious touch, as if he was afraid of being bitten even though he had a gag in her mouth, he lifted the Myo-eun girl’s chin and opened his mouth.

“How is it?

I haven’t gone through the exact inspection process yet, but I can confidently say that this is at least an upper-class item.”

“Are you sure?

If you’re trying to rip me off without even checking properly, I’ll be very sad.

I might be so sad that I’ll be disappointed in the baron.”

Now it was just blatant blackmail.

But what could he do? After all, justice was far away, and fists and swords were close.

“I can say it on my honor.”

“….”

Honor, what the hell is honor.

Does the honor of this world have a different meaning?

Sion, who thought that this was the way to torment him, looked at the Myo-eun girl that Baron Conean was desperately promoting, wondering if he should just let it go this time.

Light blue hair, sparkling golden eyes, distinct features, and a pretty and cute appearance that still exudes a youthful energy, but she would be quite a beauty when she became an adult.

‘Well, it would be the perfect top-class item for guys who like young things.’

Unfortunately, he wasn’t into younger women.

Sion, who was about to say that it was okay but not his type, so how about just giving him money.

‘…Huh?’

But when he saw the lightning-shaped scar on the Myo-eun girl’s forehead, he froze on the spot.

‘…What the hell!’
