Volume 1 Chapter 21 Rest Day
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
It was my seventh day in this other world, and today was finally a rest day.
Yesterday, my partner had been Aya-chan. She’d looked so embarrassed trying to hide her flat-as-a-board chest, but she was incredibly sensitive – she actually went over the edge just from me playing with her n**ipss. Once I moved down and finished making her come over and over again, she was soaking wet and ready for me. I took her virginity while she was still in a daze. As expected, the shock of the deflowering snapped her back to reality, but as soon as I cast Healing Magic¹, the pain vanished, leaving nothing but pure bliss. She ended up clinging to me so tightly… it was adorable. When it was over, I teased her, saying, “You were so cute.” She hid under the sheets, blushing furiously, and muttered, “…Daisuke-san, you’re so mean.”
(Actually, that was just a delusion.)
In this world, the days of the week were named after the Seven Pillar Gods, and people usually rested on the day associated with the god they felt closest to. According to national law, government offices closed on the day of the Blue God, the deity of Order. Adventurers were a bit more flexible; most seemed to favor either the Red Day, for combat skills, or the Purple Day, for magic skills. Some chose the Green Day, the day of Life and Healing Magic, since everyone relies on that eventually. Our party doesn’t really follow any specific faith, but we decided to make today – exactly seven days after being summoned – our rest day. Since the summoning had taken place on a Green Day, today was a Yellow Day.
We were all doing our own thing. Makoto went to check out a blacksmith’s workshop, Kenta-kun was wandering the streets, Kazuya stayed back in the room to grind his Summoning Magic levels, and Takuya vanished somewhere, babbling about some “Ninja training.”
I spent the morning lounging around to recover, and by the afternoon, I was heading to the library. Based on the explanation I’d gotten from Günther, I figured I should study the social hierarchy. After that mess at the Guild, I realized I really needed to understand how the slavery and duel systems worked. Plus, I’d been hearing about things unique to this world, like the Inquisitors. It was one thing to be ignorant, but I really wanted to avoid the executioner’s block or being sold into slavery because of a clumsy mistake.
The library was a Royal institution, a grand building that looked more like a museum. The collection of books was massive. A guard stood at the entrance; one suspicious move and I’d probably be interrogated – or worse, thrown straight into a cell. There was an entry fee, but you got half of it back if you didn’t cause trouble. It was basically a security deposit.
The air inside was heavy with silence, and everyone was reading quietly. Since the fee was pretty steep, it wasn’t crowded. It was a bit awkward to speak up, but if I don’t ask a librarian, I’ll never find anything.
”Excuse me, I’m looking for a specific book,” I said.
”Yes? What can I help you find?” the librarian replied.
She was a beauty with blonde, shoulder-length hair and big, sparkling eyes. Her uniform had a capelet that made it hard to tell, but her “Chest Armor”² was definitely high-tier. The way she smiled proved she was a natural with people. I guess personality traits like that weren’t tied to your Class.
”I need books on the social hierarchy, slavery, duels, and maybe some records of famous incidents involving them,” I said.
”For legal matters, please follow me,” she said.
I followed the lovely lady – I was sure she was younger than me, despite the “big sister” vibe – up the stairs to the second-floor shelves. Watching her plump hips sway from behind was quite the treat.
”Famous cases are on those shelves over there. Please let me know if you need anything else,” she said.
”I will. Thank you,” I replied.
Even though the law and crime sections were grouped together, there was no way I could get through the entire collection. I grabbed a few books on law and headed to a table. As I dug in, I found that the social hierarchy was pretty much what I’d expected.
Nobility ranks were Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron. Knights weren’t actually considered nobles. The King appointed nobles, and the nobles appointed knights. However, the former was mostly a formality; titles usually stay within the family. The exception was if a noble earned an “Evil-type” Title. They were forced into retirement immediately, and the King appoints the next lord. Even then, they usually consulted the family’s wishes.
Lords collected taxes, maintained order by hunting bandits or monsters, and handle public works like irrigation. Within their own territory, they could set their own laws as long as they don’t clash with Kingdom law. That includes tax rates and customs. It felt less like the relationship between Japan’s central and local governments and more like the US federal system. Also, they could maintain private armies. Because of that, neighboring lords who hate each other sometimes have small skirmishes. If they go too far, the Royal family steps in and punishes both sides, so it rarely turns into a full-scale war. There were also “Robe Nobles” who don’t own land and instead work administrative jobs at the Royal Castle.
Since the population skews toward women, there was no “male-only” inheritance rule. Usually, the eldest child takes over, but if a younger sibling is exceptionally talented, they can inherit instead. It seemed Martina-sama was one of those cases. If the head of the house is a man, having multiple wives is normal; if it was a woman, she might have multiple husbands. However, since it gets confusing figuring out which husband fathered which child, the latter wasn’t very common.
Commoners worked in trade, farming, or crafts and paid taxes. As long as they pay, they were under the lord’s protection. Once you leave the country, you lose that protection, so the concept of nationality is a bit fuzzy, but people definitely feel a sense of belonging to the territory they pay taxes to. I wondered how it worked for merchants who pay in multiple places. There usually weren’t restrictions on moving around, but going to a town where you have no connections was tough, and traveling outside where monsters roam was suicide. Most people – aside from traveling merchants – didn’t really leave their homes. Average folks don’t have the money for “tourism,” so it was pretty rare.
Adventurers basically counted as commoners. Occasionally, one might do something so legendary they get promoted to nobility, but excluding Hero parties, that only happened maybe once every few decades. Commoners could also have multiple spouses. Since women usually keep working after marriage, it wasn’t like a man’s salary dictated how many wives he could have.
Slaves were treated as property, but the master was legally obligated to provide for them. The master-slave contract had to be registered with the government. Slaves couldn’t own anything; their clothes and gear belonged to the master. Even rewards or loot from adventuring belong to the owner. Slaves were bound by “Contract Magic” and couldn’t disobey orders. However, the master was also bound by magic – they couldn’t order a slave to commit a crime.
Forcibly enslaving someone was strictly forbidden. You needed a “Slave Trader License” to facilitate or register contracts. If you do it without a license, you’re looking at either the death penalty or becoming a slave yourself. Though, I bet there were plenty of loopholes involving threats or hostages. Also, discrimination and abuse were prohibited, so they were allowed in inns and taverns.
However, since the master pays for everything, they almost never get the same quality of food or room as the owner.
There were General Slaves, Criminal Slaves, and Special Slaves. Most are General.
General Slaves were usually people who couldn’t pay their debts.
Criminal Slaves were heavy offenders – bandits, murderers, and the like. They got sent to the mines and were basically never freed. Special Slaves were royalty or nobles from other countries captured in war.
Commoners weren’t even allowed to buy them. Since their owners were always high-status, getting involved with them sounded like a massive pain.
By this point, I was pretty wiped. I took a break and looked around; the sun was already starting to set. I wasn’t getting through all this today. I’d just hit the most important parts.
Nobles could punish someone for Lèse-majesté³ on the spot. Naturally, the noble got to decide the severity of the sentence. A noble’s rights were insanely strong compared to a commoner’s, but if they overdo the villainy, they get tagged with an Evil-type Title, and the family is either stripped of its rank. Because of that, most nobles showed some restraint. Well, except for the ones who committed just enough “evil” to stay below the Title threshold.
If a master died, ownership of their slaves went to whoever found them (provided they were a commoner or higher). However, killing a master to steal their slave was a capital offense. If a slave was facing a life-threatening injury and the master’s intent couldn’t be confirmed, a healer could treat them and bill the master later.
If the master couldn’t pay, ownership of the slave was legally transferred to the healer. Naturally, you couldn’t go around intentionally wounding slaves just to “rescue” them. Killing someone else’s slave wasn’t treated as murder; it was more like a property damage fine. It sounded cold, but in my old world, it was basically like killing someone’s pet.
I thought I could squeeze in a little more, so I looked into duels. Like Mercedes had said, a duel was official once both parties agreed on the “conditions” and the “reward.” A slave couldn’t challenge or accept a duel, but they can fight as a proxy. You needed a witness.
Both duelists and the witness have to swear to the Blue God of Order that they will fight by the “conditions” and pay the “reward.” If the loser tried to flake, they get the “Apostate” Title. They wouldn’t be able to enter any town, and the Title’s effect actually lowered their stats. At that point, your life was basically over.
Mizuki and the others had really been in deep trouble. I mean, if Mizuki had been enslaved, her Saint Class probably would have led the Church to bail her out. But the other girls? They might have actually ended up in a brothel. If that happened, I could have legally requested them as “partners.” (Except for Sakura – you’re a hard pass.)
Also, if a witness tried anything funny – like taking a bribe from the loser – the witness got hit with an Evil-type Title too. That’s why witnesses were usually neutral parties with enough clout. For commoners, a guard worked fine. For nobles, you needed royalty to witness, so it became a huge deal.
”Excuse me, we’re closing now,” the librarian said.
”Oh, right,” I replied.
She gave me a lovely smile. I wish I had one of her in my house. Still, I definitely couldn’t do this in a day. Since I’d be based around the Royal Capital for a while, I’d just come every week. The entry fee stung, but knowledge was power.
While walking back to the inn, I spotted the receptionist from the Adventurer’s Guild. She must have been off the clock; she was walking along in that same stiff, professional outfit.
”Good evening, Dietlinde-san. On your way home?” I asked.
”You are… Daisuke-san, yes? Is there something you need?” Dietlinde replied.
She was as cold as ever. She didn’t even twitch an eyebrow, answering in that same monotone voice. She was a sheep-type beastman, I think – white, curly hair and horns that looped around. She had a slender frame, but her “Chest Armor” was decent. If she’d just smile like that librarian, she’d be a lot more attractive.
”No, I just saw you and wanted to say hi,” I said.
”I see. If you’ll excuse me, then,” Dietlinde said.
And she was gone. Wow, she really was an ice queen. I wondered if there was a guy out there who could actually melt her heart? Or maybe she was already married? I couldn’t even get her to make small talk, so the mystery just deepened.
