Black Hero
Freeing slaves (Part 1)

When we are provided information by three people who are one of them.

Me, Yugo and his four slaves are in front of a building, the walls are made of stone and cement. When you first see it looks like an unused building.

Without turning around I told Yugo.

"Before we get inside there's something I want to say."

I saw Yugo and his slave through my shoulder.

"Whatever I say I hope you obey him, even though your master is Yugo but in this plan I am the chairman. Especially you, Yugo. You're almost like me because we don't like to be ruled."

"Calm down Zen. But here I have to tell you something." Yugo smiled as if he was challenging me. "I trust you and I never doubt your abilities."

Hearing that, I smiled. Yugo is known to be quiet in class. He always goes to the library during break hours and almost never talks to anyone but me and Rina.

Before entering, I was told to wear a mask. Yugo gave me the sekura mask that is used for parties.

It confused me and asked Yugo.

"We're going to go into the slave auction so we have to hide our identities." Said Yugo.

Because I have a plan so I don't want to wear it. After wearing it, we went inside.

...****************...

"All right, here it is. Slave number #73."

In front was a stage and many girls of Chelsea's age lined up neatly and a long chain tied their necks.

Besides the slaves, there was a fat man wearing a mask and his voice sounded like talking using a microphone even though there was no microphone in front of him.

Zen and the others came and looked at the stage. And look around a lot of people who sit with masks on. Looking at everyone's clothes, Zen could tell that they were rich.

Zen continued to look around to check.

"What's Zen, you look confused."

"Ah. Are they all buyers?"

"Yes, because this uses the auction system so..."

Unable to finish speaking, one of Yugo's kimono-wearing slaves patted Yugo's shoulder and pointed towards the stage.

We immediately looked at the direction appointed and saw Chelsea in front of the chained with the others.

His face looked frightened and he did not hug the doll he used to hug anywhere.

{"Zen, that fat guy is the devil."} (Lucifer)

I was shocked to hear what Lucifer said. Remembering demons like Abbadon, Lucifer and Azazel or the four-armed demons. The fat man was not at all similar to a demon but it was true, I could see which one was as terrifying as the four-armed demon I had fought.

"But he has two arms and still has consciousness."

{"I'm also confused but that's the reality. So get this over with."} (Abbadone)

I walked towards the stage with a horrible smile like an antagonist character.

"Hey Zen, where are you going?"

"Shut up there, I'll be right back."

The four slaves of Yugo were confused and started to whisper.

"What's wrong with that attitude?" (Erican)

"Right, he looked so confident and arrogant that even he could treat a master like an insect." (Misha)

"If it wasn't for the master being too good, I would have killed that person already." (Silvia)

"You guys stop talking, the guy you're talking about is his best friend master. You have to keep your mouth shut or you'll be like that." (Riza)

...****************...

"I gave them 30 seconds to let them go."

Zen walked down towards the stage, with a terrifying smile and an extremely powerful killing aura coming out from him.

"W-Who are you? If you want them you'll have to buy them at the asking price." Answer the fat man.

"True, you should buy them if you want them!"

"Yes!"

Their cheers filled the room, with a hint of annoyance Zen clenched his hands and pointed to the fat man's face.

"Close."

In one word, the fat man knelt before Zen's feet. Seeing that made the room instantly become silent.

Zen turned to the buyers who were sitting in their seats.

"I gave you 15 seconds to leave this place or..."

Zen returned to the fat man and in the blink of an eye the white flames burned the fat man and all that remained was his thin and dry body.

"Like this."

Zen smiled at the buyers and they all left in fear.

All that remains are Zen, Yugo and the slaves.

Zen climbed onto the stage and pulled out his sword then slashed down.

He broke the long chain that bound the slaves.

"You're free now."

Chelsea who finally free to run towards Yugo, with eyes full of tears, he immediately hugged Yugo.

His body trembles and Yugo just rubs his head to calm him down.

The slaves of Yugo smiled at Chelsea and were relieved.

Zen who still sensed there was someone else inside immediately walked inside.

"Hey, Zen! where are you going?"

Without turning around and continuing to walk Zen responded to Yugo.

"There's something I want to do."

Yugo and his slave soon follow Zen from behind.

They stopped after someone called them.

"Wait-wait!"

Zen immediately turned his head, the girl was a cat-man. With ears and tail, Zen instantly knew it.

"What about us?"

"You're free, whatever you want to go to." Answer Zen with a joke.

The slaves looked at each other and talked a little, they all looked at Zen seriously.

"Then let us come with you, sir!" Answer them simultaneously.

Zen looked into their eyes, their gazes were extremely serious and hopeful with watery eyes.

Zen wants to leave them but remembers the little boy he saved. The girls would ask him to take care of her and so would these slaves.

Zen let out a long sigh and complained.

"I don't think there's any point in me rejecting them, surely the girls will just gang up on me."

After complaining in his heart, he was forced to have to take care of them as well.taking him traveling with him would only be a problem.

"All right, I'll take you guys, but!"

Zen stopped talking, and the slave's face was very tense and filled with cold sweat.

"You must obey me, and for now I want you to stay here until I return. Understood?"

The slaves smiled and nodded.

Zen walked back and walked backstage, and Yugo and his servants followed Zen from behind.
