Chapter 242
Serena's POV
Now, I'm here at Ace Trading Company.
"Welcome to Ace Trading Company! We have the best selection in the empire."
"Okay?"
It's quite cheerful atmostphere... there's nothing gloomy about this place.
"Elf? Dark elf? We have all kinds of slaves."
"I see... is there an older one?"
"Older? Well, since you're a child, do you prefer 15-year-olds or 17-year-olds?"
Why does he keep trying to introduce me to such childish girls?
"Ideally, I prefer someone in their late 20s to 30s..."
"Hahaha... a household slave, huh... but this is Ace Trading Company, we focus on young and elegant house slaves, the oldest is 22 years old..."
"I see..."
After that, I had a look at the 22 year old girl... but she's not my favorite by any means.
As a 12-year-old boy, I might not be the best judge, but she lacked the "maternal" vibe...
It's like she's lacking the ability to empathize.
Sigh
Oh well.
"I'm sorry, but I don't see any girls who catch my eye. I'll come again next time."
"I understand...we'll be waiting for you."
The next one is Ord...
"Welcome... this is Ord... what, a kid? This is a slave trader! Kids aren't welcome here."
"I'm a customer!"
As I said that, I showed him three gold coins.
"I see, if you're a customer, that's different...so what kind of slave are you looking for?"
My interests have been consistent.
"Late twenties to early thirties would be ideal..."
"A household slave?"
"No...I'm looking for a proper, beautiful woman..."
"Hahaha...are you looking for 'Shizuko,' by any chance?"
Shizuko... Why is Mom's name coming up... Why?
"..."
"It seems like I hit the nail on the head? She is one of the heroines in the story of 'Ceres the Dragon Hero'... There are also five other incredibly beautiful mature women in the story, which is truly a strange story... But to be honest, that's a beautified story. In reality, many women of that age are 'Baba'. You'll understand too, if you think about your own mother."
My Moms are a really beautiful woman...
Besides, the Shizuko in the story is my mom.
"...I don't understand."
"I don't blame you... well, then do you want to see it for yourself?"
"Yes."
Indeed, I was shown various things as he said... I could see that there was some truth to what this shopkeeper was saying.
No one was as beautiful as he said.
"Well... I'm sorry."
"See... there's no such thing as a 'beautiful mature woman' if you think about it normally... but if you're still looking for such a non-existent person... why don't you try going to the 'slave market' hosted by the Orcman clan, which will be held for a week starting next week? If you come with us, we'll take you there."
"Is it really okay?"
"Yeah, it's fine. I'll take you there for a fee."
"Thank you very much."
I hope I meet my destiny.
Love is truly difficult
