Meats Misguided Common Sense

Come to think of it, even though were getting new clothes, what about Kehma?

Ill be leaving the slaves work to Rokuko to handle. Ill be going with the setting that a lazy adventurer reserved a room with gold to sleep in.

Uwaah, that sounds like a failure of a person somehow isnt it better to have a slave do it?

Yep, even I think Im a failed case. Im not denying it, its a fact.

So long as I can sleep, I dont care about my reputation. Isnt my reputation bad in Sia too? That I leave Meat to clean the restrooms alone in the restroom cleaning commissions.

I dont think it could be that bad, seein how thats usually a slaves job But for Meat-senpai to clean restrooms alone huh Its pretty rough, but well, I think thats obvious for a slave.

Well, since Im actually cleaning it in one go with [Cleanup], Meat doesnt really resent me that way, I can sleep comfortably. Its perfect.

I-I would never resent Goshujin-sama!

Fufufu, thats right. I wouldnt be able to have my way and sleep if I had to pay attention to my hug pillow having a grudge with me would I?

I patted Meats head. Her tail wagged adorably.

I dont think Goshujin-samas peaceful sleep has anythin to do with it does Meat-senpai really just stand and hold the cleaning tools for the restroom? Sounds like a pretty easy job.

Right, she holds the tools.

Huh? Come to think of it, I dont have any cleaning tools.

Meat, did someone come while you were waiting and ask if you had tools to clean with?

Yes, someone did.

How did you answer?

I answered saying that I properly cleaned with my hands, feet, and mouth!

Meat responded, full of self confidence. Hooold up.

Hold up, thats a pretty intense response. Why did you say that?

Fueh? W-was that no good? Im so sorry

When Meats face started turning blue as she was getting flustered, Ichika seemed to think of something.

Aaah, Goshujin-sama, can I butt in a sec? Perhaps, could Meat-senpaive been sold by the dark slums slave dealer?

Yeah, I got her from a bandit that bought her from there.

So thats it

Ichika was the only one to understand, her expression seemed a little sad. After that, she stood in front of Meat.

Meat-senpai! Normally, brushesre used to clean restrooms! Its fine to fetch water from a well too! Ya dont need to use your own body to clean with!

Eh!?

What Ichika said with deadly seriousness surprised me. However, as for Meat, she seriously seemed to not know that. Double the surprise! That slum slave dealer, what a cruel person!

Un, youre safe and sound and have beautiful clothes now. The way slum slave dealers treats their slaves are the worst if a young beastkin becomes a slave, its the worst of the worst. Most die before theyre sold. Of course they wouldnt have somethin like common sense with lives like that Meat-senpai, ya really did yer best

Ichika stroked Meats head while tightly embracing her.

Having your face buried in that chest seems like itd be kinda painful.

The number of slaves that die from illness destroyin their health by doin things like restroom cleaning aint few. Even though theyre children, theyre beastkin so their vitality gets taken advantage of its also natural for them to be hit or kicked to kill time. They get targeted by skills, cryin endlessly as their limbs or ears get chopped off. A beastkin kid is just a few copper coins, nothin more than playthins for em Even if they luckily survived, theres no such thing as an upright owner that would buy em in the slums, thered only be hell left for em in the world.

I dont get it but I think I just heard something pretty incredible.

Meat, youve had an even worse time than me.

R-Rokuko-sama?

From the opposite side as Ichika, Rokuko also embraced Meat.

Even though Im a dunce among dungeon cores, even though Ive been bullied, it wasnt that bad because I had Haku Ane-sama. Un, Ill treat you more kindly from now on!

Rokuko-sama

I-Ill even give you some of my melon roll. A mouthful!

That somehow feels like a huge show of affection, coming from Rokuko.
