10 – Helping those who help themselves (10)
“Teacher!”
Ael got up in a hurry and ran to Einer.

“Are you okay?”
Einer asked while holding Ael by the shoulders.
“Yes, that’s fine…! What about the teacher?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go now. It’s over.”
“Where are you going!”
Ael was about to go up the stairs, holding Ael’s shoulder, but her saintess shouted from behind her.
“That b*tch’s a boss-owned slave! Get over here now, b*tch!”
As Einer turned around, Ael whispered something in his ear.
Hearing those words, Einer strode toward the unlicensed saintess.
“What, what?! It’s coming… Gap!”
Ah, the unlicensed saintess who was slapped on the cheek by her hand hit by you hit the wall and fell down.
“Ugh…”
“If you carelessly tease your dirty tongue, you’ll get hit.”
The unlicensed saint opened her axe eyes and tried to get up, but she sat down again and spat out her blood.
“Be careful with your words from now on. Today, I was lucky and ended up in the cheek, but the other guy might get a knife instead of his hand.”
The unlicensed saintess glared at Ael instead of Ainer this time.
Ah El didn’t lose either, she gave strength to her eyes and hit the saintess’s gaze without permission, but soon her spirits broke and she hid behind her on Einer’s back.
Seeing the saintess’ ferocious eyes without permission, Ei-you sighed and said,
“I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
The saintess of the unlicensed woman who was slapped on the other cheek passed out after being thrown into a pile of cargo.
“Huh?! Isn’t he dead?”
“I don’t know. If I die, that’s my destiny. Let’s go.”
Ah, you took Ael to her deck, leaving her holy maiden strewn with her nosebleeding in her cargo hold.
When I went outside, Brechnert’s fleet holding the cargo ship was already running away.
Einer, who was handed over the security guard uniform he had changed to hide his identity, went over to the frigate waiting next to him with Ael.
The branch manager was waiting for them on the deck of the frigate.
“I’ve seen everything here, Einer. Your skills are amazing.”
“I can’t get into the port security unit at all.”
“Then what about them now?”
As the branch manager saw Brechnert’s fleet moving away, Einer also looked in that direction and replied.
“In the future, Brechnert will not touch the ship belonging to the Parling.”
At the branch in Daham, Einer told the branch manager that he would get rid of the Brechnut fleet by installing it on the high seas near Daham.
To the branch manager who snorted, Einer showed the medals he had brought from home.
They were all made of gold, and were stored to be sold later when money was needed.
The sharp-eyed branch manager saw through to the fact that the medals were not ordinary medals that nobles received ceremoniously.
The branch manager, who had guessed to some extent about Einer’s past, quickly bounced the abacus in his head.
The price of the demon slave was 100 gold coins, actually 50 coins.
If you compare the tolls paid to Brechnert’s fleet going back and forth along the eastern route, it’s a business that’s more than enough.
Of course, as long as I can get the Brechnert fleet to retreat as that crew member named Einer said.
Even if the author’s words are bluffing, nothing is lost from the branch manager’s point of view.
As usual, just pay the toll and pass.
That’s how the branch manager put Einer on the galleon and sent it to the eastern route.
“A promise is a promise, this way.”
The branch manager took Einer to the captain’s office at the stern.
Ael, who was following him, stopped at the doorway and stared at Einor, not knowing what to do.
“Do I have to go in…?”
“Come in. Your owner is changing, so you should know that too.”
At the words of the branch manager, Ael grabbed her arm and grabbed her arm.
“Teacher…Where am I going to be sold again…?”
“Yes. I bought you.”
“Yes…?!”
Surprised, Ael opened her eyes wide and looked up at you.
“Come in, Einer. I need to check the contents and sign.”
At the call of the branch manager, Ael went into her captain’s room.
Ael was intimidated and clung like a cicada to the inner side of her inside the captain’s cabin, which was extremely luxurious, befitting a ship owned by Daesang Dan.
Seeing that, the branch manager said as if passing by.
“Not a slave, just like a lover.”
“Huh!? Sorry!”
Ael hurriedly moved away from Einer.
The branch manager prepared a transfer contract to transfer the ownership of Ael and confirmed the contents with Einer.
“No problem.”
Einer, who signed it, turned to Ael and said.
“From now on you are my slave. I bought it for a hundred gold coins.”
“Heo Eok?! Bae, Bae Bae Bae, 100 pieces?!”
Ael, who was struggling as if she was out of breath, soon regained consciousness.
“This, for now… Thank you for buying me, sir… No, master!”
As she watched Ael bend her waist so that her forehead touched the ground, the branch manager gave a cryptic smile as if she had no idea what it was.
“It’s just that the ownership has been transferred. Is there something to be grateful for? Anyway, shall we go back to Daham?”
“Okay. But before that, let me make it clear again, branch manager.”
“I know. You’re telling me to keep quiet about this, right? It’s not difficult if that’s the case.”
Einer slightly bowed his head to the branch manager, and the branch manager continued by asking.
“But the reason you really want to buy that slave is to realize your dream of grabbing the horn and doing it behind the scenes?”
“Heo Eok?!”
Einer smiled lowly as he watched Ael where the earthquake occurred in his pupil.
“Well, not necessarily because of that.”
* * * * *
The frigate of the Paling Trade Corps headed for Daham while cutting through the sea.
As Einer leaned against the railing of the stern roof and closed his eyes, feeling the gentle southern ocean breeze, Ael came closer.
“I, Master… Thank you…”
“It’s even something to be thankful for. It wasn’t that I was liberated, it’s something I bought.”
“Still… If you’re a slave to someone like you… I don’t think it’s bad…”
“Yes, yes.”
Next to Ainer, who still had her eyes closed, Ael wiggled her fingers and munched her mouth.
“But…”
Ael was unable to speak for a long time, then closed her eyes tightly and spat out.
“Bar, you have to wait half a year more!”
“What?”
“Well, for the horns to grow back…! If you can catch enough of them, you’ll probably have to wait half a year more…”
At that, Einer opened her eyes and stared at Ael.
Ael hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding her gaze and blushing.
“What are you talking about? Do you think I’m just trying to do something like that?”
“Eek?! Then, why the hell… Me…”
“To help those who help themselves.”
“Yes?”
Einer moved his gaze to the horizon again and said.
“Heaven helps those who help themselves while shaping their own destiny.”
“Uh, then master… You mean the sky…?”
There are many reasons why Einer decided to save Ael.
Like himself, who came to the Principality of Helan after escaping from the damned castle, Ael risked his life to escape the situation of being sold and escaped the cargo ship and even cut off its horn.
Ainer wanted to help Ael who was trying to carve out his own path.
In addition, Ael has a talent for cooking.
Einer, who had been raised as a kitchen slave since childhood and had a dream of opening a restaurant someday, felt a sense of kinship with Ael.
And most importantly.
“The look in your eyes made me want to help.”
Her mother’s eyes as she cradled herself in fear at her slave market.
Einer saw it in Ael’s eyes.
She couldn’t bear to see Ael being sold to Brech Nut, where she had fled.
“My eyes?”
Ael blinked her eyes and tilted her head.
It was so cute that Einer laughed out loud.
Damage in the distance slowly appeared above the horizon.
Seeing that, Ael resolutely opened her mouth with an expression of her determination.
“When I get back, I’ll start with cleaning. From now on, leave all meals to me. I’ll do my best…”
“No. I didn’t buy it for that kind of thing.”
“Eh? Then, of course… I see… Every corner… I’ll wash and prepare thoroughly… If you don’t have horns, but grab your hair…”
“You will be a free man.”
“Ehh?!”
Ael was startled by your sudden remark and nearly fell over her railing.
Ael, who had managed to regain her balance by grabbing onto the railing, tried to say something to her by opening her mouth.
“I’ll make you a free man, Ael. I’ll help you get on with your life.”
“Uh, why… To me…”
“I told you. You help those who help themselves. But there are conditions.”
“What is it?”
“Pay back a hundred gold coins. Then I will set you free.”
“Huh?! A hundred gold coins… two…? Oh, I get it….”
Ael, who was shaking her head, glanced at you and asked.
“By the way, master… I have a question. I’m a slave… How do I get money…?”
“Of course you have to work to make money, right? Whether you’re running a business or getting paid.”
“Oh, then the master will pay my salary…”
“I can’t afford to take care of your salary. And what kind of salary is a slave?”
“Then how…?”
“Do a restaurant.”
“Yes?!”
Ael’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
“Restaurant, restaurant?”
“I’ll set up a restaurant, so work on it. I’m going to put some of the profits from it on your salary.”
The last reason Einer decided to save Ael.
Einer thought while eating omurice prepared by Ael at dawn.
He said it would be nice to have this child run her restaurant instead of him as her chef.
The reason Einer couldn’t open a restaurant was because his income was not guaranteed.
There are many competitors in Daham, and if the business does not go well, you will not be able to earn enough money right away.
However, with Ael, the story is different.
With a stable source of income, the salary of a security guard, Einer can afford to run a restaurant with Ael.
So, to put it simply, the husband earns the minimum living expenses as a salaryman and the wife runs a business.
Of course, we’re not a couple, and that’s what it says.
Cooking, kind, courteous, cute and pretty.
She is a woman who lacks nothing. She can definitely do it well.
Of course it’s a joke that you won’t let go until you pay back a hundred gold coins.
However, Einer will not release Ael right away.

First of all, Ael has to pay city tax as soon as he is freed, but he doesn’t have the ability to earn it.
In that case, it would be better to run a restaurant under him and take care of him so that he can adapt to life here and amass enough money.
What if she said she would quit the restaurant after Ael was freed?
Well, I’ll have to think about that then.
“How are you?”
“Uh, uh, uhm… It was so sudden… If the owner told me to do it… I’d do it… I’ve learned all I’ve learned while working as a cook…”
“I’ll teach you. Don’t worry. So if you earn enough money and become independent, open your own restaurant. Then it won’t work.”
“Ummm… I don’t know yet… Anyway… I’ll do my best if you open a restaurant…!”
“Yes, I like that attitude.”
“Thank you!”
Ael bent her back so her forehead touched the deck.
“Ah, by the way… I don’t know the master’s name yet…”
“Me? I’m Einer Capford.”
“Einer Capford…. Hee hee, that’s a nice name.”
Ael laughed and twisted her body.
“The omurice was good. It was delicious.”
“Huh… Thank you.”
In the meantime, the ship slowly entered Daham’s pier.
“Then, shall we go?”
“Yes! Master!”
