Volume 3 Chapter 6-2 Knight Girl
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”First, about the surrounding impact. Other adventurers who saw this incident might think they can commit crimes if they won’t be punished. And what if a trend spreads that says it’s okay to do crimes against adventurers? The guild’s order could fall apart.”
Sure, many adventurers are hard to discipline.
If they treat this case too lightly, it might set a bad example and cause more problems.
As I hesitated to answer, Gaedaf kept talking.
”Some adventurers follow their instincts instead of reason. No matter how small the incident, it shouldn’t be overlooked.”
His words have weight, backed by his Gold Rank adventurer title.
It reminded me of the experience he built up over time.
”I see, I understand.”
I decided to accept his opinion.
If I forgive this rashly, it could hurt those around us.
So, I think we need to give some punishment.
…That’s the pretense I made.
* * *
In the end, I decided to report the attempted murder at the guild to the authorities.
With testimonies from Tifi, other guild staff, and Gaedaf, the Gold Rank adventurer, the process went smoothly.
Later, the investigation revealed the girl’s identity.
Her name was Kéa Rox.
She was said to be the daughter of the famous Rox knight family.
Her father, the head of the family, was killed by Hasa, and since there was no heir, the family fell into ruin.
She also lost her knight status, it seems.
It looked like she lacked the strength to succeed her family.
I remember her clumsy swordsmanship.
Honestly, I can’t help but agree.
With that movement, she’d have a tough time as an adventurer or even a knight.
And the reason she misunderstood me as her enemy was also clear.
It was because of the sword I was holding.
The sword I got from Hasa as loot.
Apparently, that sword originally belonged to her father.
Hasa, who killed her father, took it, and then it ended up in my hands.
She didn’t know that background, so she mistakenly thought I was her father’s killer.
The name, appearance, and face of the criminal, Hasa, should have been on the wanted posters, but maybe she only saw the sword.
She’s probably a bit of an airhead.
Anyway, misunderstandings aside, attempted murder and assault shouldn’t be forgiven.
With the evidence and testimonies gathered, it was only natural that Kéa would stand trial and be found guilty.
So, I decided not to ask for compensation, but for her own person.
Instead of money, I chose to take the offender herself as a slave──a choice that is allowed by the laws of this country.
The process was smooth, and officially, Kéa became my slave.
That means I now have a second slave, following Lifia.
While waiting for that to go through, we continued hunting on the dungeon’s third floor, steadily leveling up.

As a result of our efforts, a new “product” became available.
It’s more of a service than a product, really.
Today is the day we take delivery of the red-haired girl, Kéa.
I receive the girl with her hands bound behind her back and sign the papers.
”Grr… You!”
Kéa glares at me with eyes full of anger after being handed over.
It seems she still considers me her enemy.
”Didn’t anyone explain the situation to you?”
Tifi, who was next to me, answers when I tilt my head.
”It seems not. I suppose they thought there was no need to explain things to someone becoming a slave.”
”What situation could there be!”
”Calm down a bit, why don’t you?”
”Shut up! I don’t want to hear your excuses! If I’m going to be made a slave by the one who killed my father, I’d rather die!”
The girl is completely unwilling to listen.
”That attitude probably made her think it wasn’t worth explaining.”
Tifi explains with a wry smile.
As my second slave, she’s quite different from Lifia.
I inwardly chuckle.
Lifia was obedient from the start, but this rebellious attitude is something new.
”Well, I guess she can stay like this for a while.”
Misunderstood or not, this seems like it could be fun.
Kéa is now officially my slave.
I have the right to do anything to her, but that’s just the law.
I can’t take away her free will completely.
If she gives me information, she might leak it to others.
Especially the “Love Hotel” skill.
I shouldn’t tell her about it until her training is done.
That’s my biggest secret, my strongest weapon.
We decided to go home.
We got in a carriage, all 4 of us, including Kéa.
It’s like a taxi that runs through the town.
Inside the carriage, I gave Lifia a blindfold and made Kéa wear it.
She gave in because she knew it was useless to resist.
The carriage went through the town, and we got off at a good place.
We took Kéa, who was still blindfolded, and went to a shadow place.
I used the “Love Hotel” skill.
A door appeared, and we went inside.
Now Kéa won’t know what the skill is.
She’ll probably think it’s just a house somewhere in the town.
And this time, the place we entered is a big space, different from the Love Hotels before.
First, there’s a giant chandelier that goes up to the ceiling.
The crystal is shining, and it looks beautiful.
Below it is a marble floor.
It has white and black mosaic patterns, so it looks fancy.
There’s a counter in front of the lobby with shiny wood.
There are also soft sofas and tables, so guests can relax.
The walls have antique decorations from another world, making it a little unreal.
Soft music is playing everywhere.
There’s a door at the back of the lobby.
It says Room 101.
That’s the only room there is right now.
”Amazing…”
Lifia and Tifi were amazed by how beautiful it was.
”W-What is this…?”
Even with the blindfold, she could feel the air change.
The red-haired girl was confused.
This space is one of the new features added.
Because I reached level 30, a new option for the “Love Hotel” skill has opened up.
Until now, I used Room 101.
But now, I can add a new room, Room 102.
It costs 500 MP.
”So, what kind of room should I make…”
I look at the menu displayed on the screen.
I can choose from various Love Hotel rooms and amenities.
In addition to the Western-style rooms I’ve used, there are Japanese-style rooms, rooms for large groups, and even hot springs.
But with Kéa joining, the purpose of the new room was almost decided.
”Yep, this is it.”
I tap the new room purchase button and choose the details for the room.
It’s a space to train a rebellious and headstrong girl, that’s the theme of the new Room 102.
The words “Purchase Complete” appear on the screen, and a new door appears before me.
It says “Room 102.”
The door is a heavy black iron color.
”Now I’m all set.”
I turn to Kéa.
She’s a beautiful girl with red hair in a ponytail.
Even with her blindfold, her expression shows that she tries to act strong but can’t hide her unease.
The days of training her are about to begin.
I feel excitement in my chest and lower body for the start of this new life.
