Got Slaves! ×3

I, the alchemist Seyi Falt, arrived at the town of Sanjo.

Wanting a reliable source of information, I decided to purchase slaves.

I ordered the slave merchant owner: young is fine, just give me injured or sick ones! But…

“How did this happen…”

I was in a nearby cheap inn.

In the room were three slaves.

Three of them. I didn’t need that many… one was enough!

But apparently there was a reason.

These three had the same former master, and well… that master was horrible.

First, the oldest. Probably late teens.

“Um… you’re Toka-chan… right?”

“…………”

Toka nodded.

A lizardman… I think.

A bipedal large red lizard… probably.

Why unsure?

Because she was missing a lot of parts!

Though a lizardman, all her scales had been stripped off. Painful like a skinned fish.

Her right eye was crushed—she wore an eyepatch. Her tail cut off, right arm and left leg missing.

“Oof… Toka-chan, amazing you’re alive…”

“…………”

Another nod. Maybe not good at speaking. Well… first meeting, and she suffered a lot.

“And the other two are… Zenith-chan and Daphne-chan.”

“…Yes, Master. I am Zenith.”

“I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry”

Zenith was a small blue-haired girl. Human… probably.

Since she greeted me properly, maybe intelligent.

But bruises were all over her body. Again…

“You… can’t see, right?”

“That is correct, Master. Forgive this useless one.”

She looked in wrong directions earlier, so I suspected.

“And lastly Daphne-chan.”

“Eek! I’m sorry don’t hit meee!”

Daphne was likely a beastkin. Probably a rabbit-type.

Probably—like Toka, parts were cut off.

From her fluffy green hair grew two white rabbit ears.

…but one was clearly cut with scissors.

“Now then…”

Toka the lizardman: scales forcibly removed, right arm & left leg missing, right eye missing.

Zenith the human: acquired blindness (burn scars).

Daphne the rabbitkin: right ear missing, mental trauma.

All girls, both body and mind shattered.

“That old man only sold them as a set…”

“Master, forgive us. If Daphne separates from us she will likely die. And Toka would likely kill the owner if separated.”

Scary! Toka… bigger berserker than expected.

“Yeah I won’t separate you, so please don’t kill me, Toka-chan.”

“…………” nod.

“Zenith-chan, can Toka not speak? Or not want to?”

“The former. Her throat was crushed.”

“Oh dear… hers is the worst condition.”

“Yes. She received punishment in our place.”

I see…

“Zenith, you speak clearly despite being small.”

“I used to love books.”

Used to… now blind. Must’ve been hard.

“Alright. Understood. Toka, Zenith, Daphne—nice to meet you from today. I’m Seyi Falt. Just call me Seyi.”

“…………”

“Nice to meet you, Seyi-sama”

“Don’t hit me don’t hit me!”

Oof… rough start!

Can I handle this…

“Seyi Falt-sama.”

“Zenith, no need for a full name.”

“Then, Seyi-sama. What shall we do first?”

Zenith communicated most normally, convenient.

“Well… treatment first.”

“““…?”””

I summoned my workshop in midair.

“Eeeek! Zenith! Something appeared in the air! Scary! What is it!?”

“Daphne. Don’t shake me. I can’t see.”

I put herbs inside and casually made potions.

“Here, everyone drink.”

Just low-grade potions I made casually.

I handed them to all three.

“…………”

Toka bit the bottle whole.

“Whoa Toka—open the lid first.”

“…………” nod.

For Zenith I opened it and poured directly.

“And lastly Daphne…”

“I’ll drink! So don’t hit me!”

“I won’t hit you…”

All three drank the potions.

Then…

Their bodies glowed.

Lost limbs sprouted back.

What was lost returned…

“A-amazing, milord!”

“Milord…? Toka?”

Toka the lizardman—

But now she looked human.

“Didn’t your appearance change?”

“Yes! Thanks to you, I evolved in existence!”

“Existence evolution… like monster evolution?”

“Yes! I feel powerful and energetic! What do you two think!?”

Zenith’s burns healed and she could see—

“Zenith… your ears are pointed?”

“Y-yes… I am actually an elf. My ears were cut off…”

Ah an elf. That explained her refined speech.

“Amazing… Seyi-sama. Toka evolved from lizardman into fire drakekin…”

Zenith identified it instantly. Maybe special perception.

“Amazing! My ear grew back!”

Daphne’s rabbit ears twitched. I wanted to touch later.

“Thank you milord! No—Saint!”

“I thank you Seyi-sama. Are you perhaps a Saint of the Tendo Church?”

“Thanks Big Sis Saint!”

Too much info… but one thing.

“No, I’m not a Saint. Just an alchemist.”

The slaves stared blankly.

Only Zenith objected.

“No Master. Impossible. What alchemist can evolve species and restore limbs?”

“One right here?”

“………………”

Anyway—cheap cute slaves ×3 obtained!
