ARCHDEUS

EARLOBE(2)

Alex never thought this would happen. He had forgotten about it and he regretted it. For the first time Alex had to breathe. For the time being he could only stare at the ceiling of his room with a resigned look.

Why I forgot him.

Why should I experience it.

"Hah .. I hate hunting."

If he knew, he would have chosen to remain in Morhust. Unfortunately, he forgot about it.

Unlike the previous days, she has a child. Alex must not show bad behavior in front of his son in order to make him have a reason not to follow the hunting agenda.

"Dam."

Alex was in his room exactly he was sitting on the couch. After he returned from the County of Morhust, instead of going straight to rest, he was instead summoned by Harol.

[Prepare yourself. The day after tomorrow we will hunt AND DO NOT EXPECT TO RUN AWAY THIS TIME]

Alex pondered all his misfortune today. He was not afraid to hunt, but hunting had to expend energy and go to the forest. It is obvious that it will make the body sweat and cause body odor. Not to mention mosquito bites, insects, horse smells, plus should always be close to the knights.

Not that Alex is arrogant or too mysophobic but you should know, due to lack of awareness of the cleanliness of the people in this world, causing some strange habits to form. One of them is the habit of cultivating fleas on the head. Habits that not only grew in human society but up to elves, dwarves, and beastmen also did the same.  Especially some types of beastmen who often consider the lice on their heads as a backup food when difficult.

Alex was just afraid that if he got too close to everyone it would cause him to contract lice as well. Every day Alex was shampooing. In addition, he also always reminded Merry and Justin to shampoo and never treat lice. As for when he asked others to do that ....

[Mahaha ... My dear, you know, fleas are carriers of good luck. Look, this fat flea, this is mom's favorite. Mom named him Little Alex. She is the bearer of good fortune, unyu, unyu, cute]- Clara.

[My friend, that's why you get sick so easily. Treat the lice. It will keep you healthy wal afiat]-Regis.

[Ticks are one of men's self-esteem! The more lice, the more male]-Winson.

[You want some fried lice? good for a snack]-Harol.

Asuu. Forget those people.

Alex's silence continued until Justin knocked on the door.

"My master, I brought a cake."

"Hmm .. Come in Justin."

Justin put a cup of tea and a piece of cake on the table. Alex then slowly tasted everything.

"Justin, have you eaten yet?"

"Yes my lord."

"Is Merry still asleep?"

"Yes my lord."

By the time they reached the mansion, Merry was already asleep. At first he wanted to take Merry to his room but who would have guessed it turned out that Harol had come to his room instead of calling him in the study to discuss the matter of hunting. So as not to disturb Merry's sleep, he took her to the girl's own room.

"G ... Justin, I just remembered, what about Rain?"

"He's in the room, sir. He shared a room with three other slaves. From the reports I received, there was no suspicious attitude from the slave."

Justin was still very hesitant with the boy. A slave who dared to take up arms to his own master was clearly a real threat. That's why he should be wiped off the face of the earth. Unfortunately this loving master preferred to give the evil slave a chance to repent.

"good. Always remind him to shower, shampoo, and brush his teeth every day. By the way I haven't asked him to use disposable xylospongium yet have I?"

"Yes, Milord. Because the xylospongium that was taken during the trip to the capital and to the County of Morhust was only enough for my Master, Young Miss Merry, and a servant, to, it is not possible for the slave to use xylospongium only for one-time use."

Alex then held his chin as a scholar thought. He then gave orders to Justin.

"Justin, since our stock of xylospongium has run out, you'd better buy a new xylospongium. Don't forget to buy it for you and Rain too. The money's in the drawer, I've prepared the cost. If there's nothing else, you can go. I'm a little sleepy now."

"Okay, my lord."

Justin felt that his master was about to take a nap as usual so he immediately rushed to retreat from Alex's room.

***

The trade center in the city of Fertihall is almost never deserted. Thousands of people come and go every day. They come from various circles, from farmers to officials even though they are here. Perhaps arguably the market is the most democratic place of public intrigue today where movement is influenced by price equilibrium, rather than dictation by the state.

Among the crowd passing by with a diversity of expressions, there were two humans who had contrasting appearances walking together. First was a man with silver hair who was always neatly combed even though he was not on duty, he still had time to use formal clothes that made pedestrians awkward. The second person was a brunette with clothes that looked more casual.

These two guys are Justin and Rain. These two men are on a mission to get as many ass brushes as possible. This is a noble mission, if it fails, then 3 credits counseling will come to them.

Rain was mentally distressed due to this awkward silence. He just remembered Justin talking to him that their master wanted these two men to go together to buy a lot of xylospongium.

At first he was confused, isn't the xylospongium in the toilet still usable?

But who would have guessed Justin replied that his master and Miss Merry only used disposable xylospongium.

For the first time Rain understood what it meant to squander money. He just understood it as a rich man's habit. But who would have thought that he would have to buy for her as well and the most unexpected was that he had to use xylospngium only disposable.

What is all this waste for? Do all the slaves belonging to the nobility indeed get all these services? But when I was bought by a baron, I never experienced it.

Rain could only surmise that this was his master's habit. However, when he officially became Alex's slave, that day he got all the facilities he never imagined.

First was that she got many sets of clothes and was obliged to change her clothes every day. Second, he was required to take a shower every day. Third, he had enough food. Well, the third one was indeed quite normal for the other slaves in the Fertiphile House, but for new clothes? This is definitely extra service. Roommate Rain could only look at her with a look of envy and jealousy.

The Fertiphile House did have many slaves especially the working slaves who were men. But young master Alex only had one slave.

Given all the conveniences of his new life that were far more prosperous than before, Rain could only smile brightly and was deeply grateful for all of this.

It seems like my master is indeed a good person. Maybe I can give her my oath of loyalty?

Conscious or not, Rain feels safe and peaceful when he becomes Alex's slave. Until now there was no duty given to him. Even more unemployed, he even volunteered to work in the garden together with other slave laborers. But he did not have the obligation to do that because his master is Alex not Harol. So that can rule it only Alex one.

It didn't feel like the two people had finally reached the xylospongium kiosk. This kiosk is an open stall located on the sidewalk. In this mission they must buy at least 120 xylospongium. His master gave them 15 gold coins, a pretty fantastic amount to buy xylospongium. Even each of them got 2 gold coins as pocket money. How generous is his master. These two people clearly felt very grateful with the generosity of the master.

"7 bronze coins?!"

Justin shouted after asking the price of 1 xylospongium.

As for the seller is a fat man who is actually more suitable as a meat seller. In addition to xylospongium, he also sells roots for toothbrushes and various potions for toilet fragrances. For information, all kinds of gels for bathing and shampooing are the results of Alex's creation after various experiments. He created it because of the absence of production of similar goods due to the public view that is still taboo with bathing so that until now the market for goods such as soap and shampoo has never existed.

"Can't it go down? You want to rob us, sir?"

"Can't Deck, it's the right price."

"4 bronze coins, sir."

"Oh Deck, if that's all capital can't be, Dek."

"Sir, we want to wholesale, sir. Love the cake discount."

"Ouch, Deck. Father is also again difficult, now again the season of noble war. Prices on expensive all."

Justin clearly did not want to believe the words of this seller just like that. He was different from Alex who asked the price to continue buying without nawar. For Justin, bargaining over price was a skill for survival. As Alex's loyal right-hand man, he should always give an advantage to his master.

"4 silver coins, sir. If you don't want to. Let's go Rain."

"Eh, okay."

Rain who looked at the bargaining session of the two dumbly could only obey Justin obediently. Come to think of it this is the first time Justin has called his name.

The seller seemed to be thinking.

If 4 bronze coins are actually still profitable as well.

The seller saw two prospective buyers who were getting away. He rushed out of his open stall and immediately shouted to call the two people.

"Deck, Deck, here. It costs 4 bronze!"

Justin who heard that they were called by the seller immediately gave a triumphant smile. He went straight back to the stall.

"That's donk, sir."

The seller could only smile wryly.

After all the xylospongium was taken out and counted, Justin took out his money bag. The seller only has 60 xylospongiums. After getting the appropriate price and being given a rebate of 10% for buying, Justin paid 2 gold coins, 1 silver, and 6 bronze.

But they forget. Due to the large number of items they wanted to buy, they obviously needed a carriage. Unfortunately when they go to the market, they are just walking.

Justin patted his eel because he was embarrassed by this negligence. If he takes this into account, then it is better to bring a freight train.

"Rain, find a rental car. We can't possibly take all this on foot" Justin said

"Good."

Rain then rushed to run. He obeyed Justin's orders without asking. Rain was aware of his position, however there was still a very clear difference between a slave and a servant.
