I Was Reincarnated Chapter 8

Doting Manner

I took the two who finished having their meal and next we headed towards the clothing store

"Welcome, may I ask what sort of item you are looking for today? Would you like to place an order?

I entered the store and the shopkeeper approached while rubbing their hands together

(There's actually a guy who rubs their hands together, huh)

With such stereotypical behavior, I can't help but laugh

"I'd like to order some clothes for these guys"

I point at Rune and Rau and the shopkeeper's face cramps

"……beastmen clothes, is it?"

"Ah (yea), since they have tails, are normal clothes not okay?"

I understand the significance of asking something like "can't I buy human clothes for slaves?"

"Please pick out a few items, any amount of money is fine"

"…….understood"

He measured the two's sizes and with that disappeared into the back

A short while later, he returned with a large number of clothes in his arms

"I made a tail hole in some ready made clothes, what do you think?"

The clothes looked like something an old timey aristocrat would wear

A dress for Rau

"Do you have a place for trying on clothes?"

"Over here"

I took two pieces of clothing and lifted up Rau

"Rune, come along as well"

"Eh?"

I grabbed Rune's arm while he was looking at the clothes in a daze, and we went in together

"Do you know how to wear these clothes?"

At my words the two shook their heads

The clothes are quite different from the what the two are used to wearing, well it's something that can't be helped

I could only help them dress

I understood the way to wear the clothes

They are things I wore before

"s.h.i.+n-sama, it's ticklish~"

"It's almost over"

When I pulled the tail through the hole, Rau twisted her body

In the future, it seems that will be a sensitive(erogenous) place

I touched Rune's tail as well, but he didn't seem to feel anything

Is it the difference between a dog and cat

"OK, a perfect fit"

Both Rune and Rau have clothes on that seem to match their size

"……such nice clothes, are a waste on us"

Rune seems to still be a bit reserved

Anyhow, it's not like the money's mine anyways so it doesn't really matter

If it actually was (only my money) I would be broke

"Are there any accessories?"

As for me, I hate accessories

But that guy I was interested in liked dressing up quite a bit

He always dressed up nicely

"Eh!? More—"

"Yes, just a moment"

Rune tried to say something, but the shopkeeper interrupted it and walked over

What he brought over after we waited a short time was a small hat and ribbons and lace

Things made of precious metal must be sold in a different store

With slave collars on, it would be a bit strange to wear jingly/s.h.i.+ny things

Should I embed some gems in the collars?

Shall I go buy some later

The hat covered one of Rune's ears and was held in place with a pin, Rau wore a ribbon on her ears and tied up her hair with the lace

"I'll take these too"

"Thank you very much, the total is five gold coins and ten silver coins"

"Heh-!?"

Rune made a surprised expression, but the tableware alone was five gold coins so this seems cheap in comparison

It seems Rau doesn't yet understand the value of money, she's looking on blankly

"Wearing such expensive clothes is scary, if by chance I happened to get it dirty then….."

"Then it's fine to come buy more"

It looks like there's something more he wants to say, but he seemed to sense it was useless even if he said anymore, so he couldn't say anything

"Wear these clothes out, throw away the clothes they were wearing before"

"Understood"

They won't wear those anymore, they don't need such frugal clothes after all

"Where do they sell gems?"

"At the third building down from here"

I sent the remaining clothes back to the castle and took the two out

We seemed to be attracting attention, even though I finally got them dressed nicely, the two hid behind my back

Although the two had to maintain the outward appearance of being slaves, having them wear expensive looking clothes made them stand out

They especially attracted the attention of people who were other's slaves

Probably because such treatment for slaves is unimaginable

While looking enviously at the two, their masters who subordinated them yelled at them

Facing the jewelry store, I told the two to pick whichever stones they liked

Although Rune was quite hesitant, in the end he chose a white-ish stone

Rau chose a pink stone

Even though I said it was fine for them to choose more, since they insisted that just one was enough they each got one

Later, I'll make them magic stones and embed them as well

As a demon G.o.d, I can make magic stones, stones filled with magic power

Although the collars themselves already have magic in them, if they also have magic stones then the divine protection will probably become even stronger

Incidentally, I paid six gold coins for them

Although a lot of money remained from what I brought, later we bought some more food and then, lastly, toys for Rau

Returning to the castle, while Rune and Rau organized the dishes sent to the dining room, I made the magic stones

Rune's magic stone raised defense and attack

Since he's a beastman that uses the sword, the efficacy should manifest when he attacks

Since Rau doesn't fight, I could just focus on raising the defense a lot

Since the two already have my divine protection they could not be killed, but they have no defense against any s.e.xual a.s.sault

So the magic stones are something that can compensate for that

Rune's magic stone was deep blue, Rau's magic stone was red

I moved to the dining room, they hadn't yet finished organizing

"Do we really need this many things?"

Somehow it seems I bought too much

"From now we'll probably eventually end up with more guys living with us, right?"

Though it's not yet certain

If I see anyone I'm interested in I'll probably invite them to the castle

Somehow or other it seems that this world also has schools, and in the future I intend to have Rau attend

Although it seems that beastmen have no need for knowledge, just cause I feel like it

However if it's like that it'll become just me and Rune in the castle, we'll become idle

Therefore I had thought of getting some more adults to come live here

If it's a guy I'm interested in then it's enough

"……are you going to save other people?"

"If I'm interested"

Why such surprise?

"It's fine to get slaves for you two"

According to Rau, Rune can't cook

So we need a cook

If I ate, I would probably be faster getting a cook though

"Slaves for us?"

"Since you can't cook you need them, right?  Later, there will be servants"

I can make a carriage come out, but I can't make servants come out

Any servants I made would be in a position above the demon king

Since I have no interest in making such guys, I can only subordinate from other races

If it's a guy who knows the lay of the land in detail, then it's elves or humans

"Isn't it fine if we just practice cooking?"

"If you want to you can. There’s as much ingredients as you want, so don't mind failures"

Anyhow, what we have now are nearly all stolen goods from someone else's castle

We could go shopping since we had money

"Leaving that aside, lend me your collar"

I fulfilled the goal I came here for

The slave collar can't be taken off except by me

I took off Rau's collar and embedded the gem and the magic stone in it

"What is that stone?"

"Magic stone"

"Magic stone?"

Somehow, it seems Rune doesn't know about the existence of magic stones

Since it seems that magic stones are something more expensive than gems, even among humans only the high ranking ones know about it

Aside from them are the demon king and a portion of demons

I took off Rune's collar as well and embedded the stones

"Magic stones are stones that can contain magic power. Since it's something to protect you both, it's fine to leave these on all the time"

"Rau, will wear it!"

She took the collar from my hand and put it on herself

Despite being a cat, she seems more like a dog with the way she's so attached

She had no suspicions either

Rune still seems to be a bit cautious, or perhaps reserved…….

However without refusing me, he put the collar on

"A sword only usable by Luidia Rontez that cannot be broken, appear"

I say so and a dark red sword appeared in my hand

"You can have this"

I hand over the sword and he again makes a surprised face

For beastmen who are warriors, they wear armor and carry a sword

Even if they become a slave, most will become something like a s.h.i.+eld for their master

"Use it for self defense"

Just in case

For example if the two of them are alone or Rune has to go out alone, the possibility of such a situation is not zero

I'm nearly always sleeping, so it's possible something could happen during that time

(TN: I feel like I didn't translate as literally as I normally do for this chapter)

(TN2: The next chapter seems to be R18? haven’t read it though, I procrastinated and planned to translate today but then people came to visit so I’ll be keeping them company instead. Well, just look forward to next Sat.u.r.day, I might try for 3 chapters)
