I Was Transported to Another World, but I Negotiated and Persuaded Both the Goddess and the Demon King. C147

Episode 147 Opposition! 

Kobolds were talking in the slum cave. 

He seemed surprised that Zorias and I suddenly appeared. 

“Have you come to a conclusion?”

In response to the question, one kobold spoke in a low voice. 

"We have nowhere to go. No matter where we go, we are made fun of."

“Does that mean you can go anywhere as long as you don’t make fun of it?”

"...Yeah. I don't want to be punched or kicked right away."

Had she been subjected to severe abuse from slave traders? 

"Is there nothing you're good at?"

"Having a good sense of smell and being able to dig in the ground. But I was told it was useless."

"What are you talking about? It's amazing that you have a good sense of smell! Also, being able to dig in the ground will come in handy when working in the fields!"

"Is it so?"

“Ah, I guarantee it!”

“This is the first time a human has said something like this to me!”

The kobolds finally smiled. 

They each told me their names: Duck, Corgi, and Rudok. 

When I suggested that they try living for a while in the village I introduced, they agreed. 

Leaving Zorias behind, I went to Gond Village once again. 

I told the village chief and other villagers about the situation and gave them a small amount of money for living expenses. 

The village chief and others refuse, but say that it's no good to ask for free when you have so many people in your care. 

The kobolds say that they are good at digging, so I tell them that they will also help me with the field work. 

I'm not worried, but I would like them to live together in harmony. 

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

That night in the slum, Zorias explained my proposal. 

I'm secretly watching the situation. 

Of course, Zorias and the others don't know either. 

As expected, there are opposing opinions. 

As Zorias expected, there were seven opponents. 

Among them, three people were injured. 

There is no one who opposes it among those who adore Zorias. 

It's probably because he was able to build a relationship of trust with me. 

I think Yotsuba Shokai could hire just a few people. 

I'm a little reluctant to view the status, but... 

Many of the opponents are a group of people who don't like Zorias being in charge, and they're the kind of people who would steal money and goods from the weak. 

His greed seemed to be on the rise and he demanded, ``If you want me to leave, give me money!''

...What are you talking about when it was originally an illegal act? 

In any case, he has no intention of leaving even if I pay, and I'm sure he'll keep asking for money. 

If the problem is known in advance, countermeasures can be taken. 

Anything can happen to these guys. 

　Rather than that, what to do with the injured people. 

There are some who are hurt not only physically, but also mentally. 

This will not be easily resolved as the problems faced by each person are different. 

“I want you to believe that I will be able to live responsibly.”

Zorias speaks to the injured people. 

Continuing, to the opposition,

“How much money are you planning to ask for?”

In response to Zorias' question, the man who appeared to be the leader of the opposition said,

"Well, since I'm leaving, I need enough money to not be in trouble!"

It seems like he doesn't dare to say the amount. 

"...I understand. After we leave, please negotiate as you wish."

“Oh, let me do that!”

"Also, I'd like to warn you, if you judge by appearance, you'll end up in a terrible situation."

"Don't join me with you coward!"

"...Hersemit! I gave you some advice."

As for Zorias, does that mean the opposition should do the negotiations as they please? 

Is the opposition leader's name Hersemit? 

The injured people trusted Zorias and decided to come with him. 

Hersemitz and the others tried to leave the place, so I followed them while still being [covert]. 

“Now this place is ours!”

As Hersemit speaks happily, the other three also criticize Zorias. 

"That's right! The burden was too heavy for the lazy Zorias!"

"Now you don't have to hide on the outskirts of town and attack merchants!"

...These guys were doing something like that! 

Were slaves like Oonilla and others who were abandoned outside the city really abandoned? 

Wasn't the slave contract canceled because the slave traders were attacked by these guys? 

Or maybe they attacked me after I threw it away. 

"Also, the ban on stealing in the city will be lifted! We can go back to the free and carefree life we ​​had before!"

The four of them were talking happily and laughing out loud. 

Even if we let these guys go unchecked, the damage will only get worse. 

Finally, I would like you to experience being the one being attacked! 

I turned back and went to Zorias' place as if nothing had happened. 

"Yo!"

　Greeting briefly. 

"It's too bad, as expected, there was an opposing opinion. I might not be able to do anything about it."

He replied apologetically. 

"Don't worry about it. Besides, what are Zorias and the others going to do?"

Zorias and his friends said they would register as adventurers and move to Gond Village. 

We took all the children and injured people with us. 

I also worry about whether I will be accepted and my job. 

"Gather everyone who has decided to leave, including children."

"Why?"

"I want to confirm the individual's determination. Some may wish to have other options."

Zorias called the children and gave an explanation. 

As expected, there are some children who are anxious about leaving and are afraid of the outside world, as some children are former slaves. 

We carefully listened to individual opinions, including from adults. 

I decided not to ask for the name.
