Changing Lives With Online Shop Skills
Chapter 6 - The Situation of Cities in Other Worlds

After I finished doing the registration, Riese and Alice headed to the shophouse I had rented. While heading there, we toured the city for a bit to do a market price survey. this was important to do because I had absolutely no idea of the price in this world especially the bezos region.however, on the way, I discovered some unique things. there are some people who wear choker but their clothes are also not exactly like the slave clothes that I know. slaves in anime and the real world have clothes that are very unworthy, I asked Riese. Ah by the way Riese is already like a walking encyclopedia to me.

"Riese, why is that guy wearing a coker necklace? "

"Ah they are slaves, uncle"

"But aren't their clothes good enough? do the kids here have a good life? "

"Yes, that's right, Uncle. A slave like this was a slave at work. Slaves themselves have several categories, such as Slaves for War, Slaves for being Bandits, and Slaves for Debt."

"can you explain it in more detail Riese? "

"Of course, Slaves are basically considered as property for their owners. The lowest slaves were bandits, they would usually be sent to the mines and forced to work to death. Then there were war slaves where they were the ones that the country could not redeem during the war.they were usually used to work as bodyguards or guards. they will work for a lifetime for their owners without having the right to redeem themselves.The latter are slaves because of debt, they are like ordinary people only when they become slaves, as slaves, they don't get paid and they'll work until their debts are paid."

"Oh yeah, I get it"

"Uncle, I want that" Alice said as she smelled the sate scent.

Ah satay yes, what is the name satay? well, this is worth a try

"Hello sir, what is this food?

"Ah hello sir, this is Brochette cost one silver, How are you interested? "

"All right, give me three pricks"

After that, we tried it while walking.

"Uncle, it's not as good as your food"

"Alice!!! Sorry uncle, don't listen to him, for this dish, it's pretty good here"

"ahahaha no problem, Alice is my family of course I will take care of her to the maximum"

"Yeay, thanks uncle. Humph's sister really likes to nag Alice"

"Eeh~, am I the bad one here? "

""Ahahahha"" Alice and I laughed together

while enjoying the snacks, while laughing, I was surprised because suddenly hit by a small child, he may be about 8 years old has a thin stature as well as a sharp gaze and a boy.

"I finally caught you, you thief!!! "

"Ackk... "

Eeeh~ what is this?

"Sir, we've caught him"

"Good, bring the boy here"

"Tu-wait a minute, what's going on? " i asked in surprise

"Sorry, sir, you are a little distracted.The boy just stole my merchandise" said one middle-aged man.

I watched the boy who was held by a middle-aged male bodyguard.on his chest, he hugged three pieces of wheat bread. From his clothes, this child was probably a vagrant.

"I understand, there's no need to be that scared"

I approached the boy and asked him.

"Hey son, why did you steal that bread? "

The boy was silent, but in his eyes there was a sense of worry and fear mixed.I noticed Alice, It seems she was very frightened by this incident. indeed this thing can have a bad impact on children. Looks like I need to take action.

"Okay sir, how much are these loaves worth? "

I asked that to the middle-aged man.

"hmm, it's worth two silvers, what's up, sir? "

"Well this is four silvers, I'll pay him. Now please let go of the boy"

I give a bonus so that the heart of the sword softens.

"Hey, let him go" said the middle-aged man

"Huh you survived today brat, don't do it again next time, not all will be good to you like this master" the bodyguard said

After that the middle-aged man and his bodyguards left us. I watched the boy who was silent.

"Hey, son, you can leave now.I feel you stole definitely because of an urgent need, go. .... "

"...... "

The boy just glued to look at me and suddenly his tears flowed.

"Accept... Love, Uncle"

"Yes, that doesn't matter"

I turned around and was about to leave but,

"Uncle, can you come with me"

"that's..... "

I immediately looked at Riese and Alice and with a smile, Riese nodded her head.

After that we followed the boy to an alley. Hmm, this might be more suitable to be spelled out a slum area/gang in this city. I know that wherever it is, there must be a place like this. in the end we arrived at the end of a narrow alley. I was quite surprised there because I saw two twin girls the age of Alice, maybe about 5 years.they have white hair that is as beautiful as snow even though it is covered in dust. Their height is more or less the same as Alice.

"Darine, Airel!!! "

"Sir ...." (Only one of them answered)

I don't know why I spontaneously used appraisal on them.

-----++++----

Name: Aira

Condition: Nutritional Deficiency

------+++++----

Condition: Fever, Nutritional Deficiency

------++++------

"Aira, how's Airel doing"

"Airel still has a fever" Aira said in tears

"Airel, here, Brother brought you some food, after which you can take this medicine"

The boy, gave Airel some bread, and took out a small packet of powdered medicine from inside his shirt.it seemed like he kept it there before stealing.

Note: (Ah here a pack does not mean wrapped in plastic but with cloth)

I saw the medicine

-----+++++----

Name: Fever-lowering drug

Effectiveness: 50%

----- ++++ ----

It seemed like the medicine in this world did not give a good effect.after that, I saw Airel eating bread and medicine.he swallowed it without water, euuhh must have been very drag. I immediately took my camping water bottle from the item box and gave it to Airel.

".... "

Airel hesitated to accept it.

"Take Airel, this is a gift from our savior"

With hesitation, Aurel received the bottle from me.

"Thank you, uncle"

"Yes, drink up"

Airel drank it straight away and returned the bottle to me.

Since my business was done, I prepared to leave.

"Uncle... "

"ah, what's up? "

The boy suddenly knelt down and yelled pleading with me

"Can you adopt my sisters? Please, I'm even willing to be your slave"

"EEh~"

I'm a little confused, what is this situation? it's too sudden. The boy seemed very desperate.

"I beg you, Uncle!!! "

I'm still confused, why is it suddenly like this?

When I was confused, Alice suddenly held my hand.

"What's up, Alice? "

"Uncle, can you... take care of them as well?" alice said with teary eyes.

ah I see, Alice was once positioned like them too. Alice is a good boy. I'm ashamed of Alice, I didn't even think of anything like this. I may have been a careless person, but I still remember what my life was like when my parents died. my family no one wanted to take care of me and I had to survive on my parents' severance pay.Luckily I had good neighbors back then.

"Sure, Alice but.. We have to ask if they want to? "

I turned to the boy earlier.

"Son what's your name? and also the names of your sisters? "

"My name is Rain, Uncle, this is my sister Aira and Airel"

"Well Rain, Aira, Airel, come with me. I'll adopt you. Especially for you Rain, never try to steal again another time, because you will be my family, you must grow up well and also do not need to be slaves. Grow up to be good kids"

"Really, uncle? "

"Of course, you can come with me now"

After that the six of us went to the shophouse I had rented. ah I carried Airel because he was sick, although Rain said he would carry him, I don't approve of that because it would be dangerous for Aurel.

after walking for about 20 minutes, passing through the Market, we arrived at the shophouse I rented. ah, this is quite large with a building area of 80m^2, two levels. I feel quite worthy of paying twelve gold coins a month.

We entered the shop and looked around and I took them to the second floor. There is one room large bedroom, kitchen and public room. toilet is also there but we need to buy slime. yes, it's slime!!! they are monsters that only eat dirt.although classified as weak, hunting those who live outside is now quite rare, this is because they will certainly soon be hunted and made into livestock. unlike the village where Riese and Alice can rely on the river, In this city, slime is the best solution, so even there is a Slime farm, you can easily think of them like a chicken. Ah for a slime it's worth three silver for now.

Because of the large bedroom I decided the six of us would stay there together. In this world, it was normal to live with men and women in one room.

with the Online Shop, I bought a six-piece futon along with a blanket and a pillow. This is different from the mattress of our previous lodging place that uses straw and fur. when I gave the sleeping bag to Riese and Alice while camping in the woods, they seemed to like it a lot.

I took out one to put Airel first. I hope he's healthy. I was so sad to see her face so pale.

"woah, Uncle how can you do that? " Rain was surprised and it seemed like Aira was too.

"It's uncle's magic, isn't it great? " i said arrogantly, muehehehe.

"That's great, can uncle teach me? "

"Ahahaha unfortunately can't, this is uncle's unique skill"

"Ah, what a pity"

""" hahahaha""" Riese Alice and Aira laughed together.

"Well, is it lunch time? "

"Ooooohhh Alice is waiting for that, Uncle!!!" Alice exclaimed with excitement.

It seemed Alice was the one who was looking forward to it the most. That way, I started preparing Lunch with the help of Riese.
