「Ah, yeah. I see how it is.」

Looks like in this world and its society it is actually dangerous to know too much or what goes beyond your social position, which admittedly kinda sucks, but it is not like there is anything that I can personally do about it, you know? And it probably holds even more true when it comes to slaves.

「Master also likes to experiment with a lot of things, so I think it is all right.」

「Is that. . .  so?」

「It sure is!」

Uhm, Roxanne my dear, if you have any complaints about how I choose to do things, they why do you not tell me about it directly? Even though she was smiling and patting Sherry on the back the entire time, I could not help it but to think that there was something a little bit malicious behind that smile of hers.

「W-Well, we all have our fair share of secrets that we want to keep others from finding out, but I think that uncovering them little by little is the best approach here. Everything in moderation, you know?」

「Yes, of course!」

「You are absolutely right, master!」

「Also, it is important to be careful with what you want to talk about to other people, since we all have our things that we will tryt keep quiet about no matter what, and we react differently to people who are overly chatty about their own secrets and problems, so just be mindful when discussing what you have learned with others. Oftentimes it might mean nothing to you, but it might be a huge deal to the person you will be speaking to at the moment.

「Okay, I understand. I will be sure to take that under advisement.」

It is not that I am against talking about myself or the many secrets that I have, but if the girls started digging too deep into them then things would definitely get problematic, especially since I possess some abilities that seem to be truly unique in this world, like the ability to use many kinds of Attack Magic, or the omission of the chants required for the casting of said spells, or the fact that I can change my own Jobs as well as the Jobs of them members of my Party. How am I going to explain all of those things to Roxanne, Sherry and any of the slaves that I might buy for myself in the future? I have not thought about it right now, so I am going to do the next best thing that could be done about this at this point: leave it for later and deal with that problem in the future when it will happen.

「By the way Sherry. Is your Item Box completely empty?」

「Yes, it is completely empty right now.」

「Okay.」

After confirming that Sherry had no items that she currently held in her in her own Item Box, I opened up the menus and chose Party Job Settings. If my guess is correct and one of the conditions needed for the acquisition of the Master Smith Job is having Explorer at Lv.10 or lower it would be bad if Sherry ended up leveling it up any higher by accident, so it would be best if I switched her current Job into something else, like. . .

「Villager Lv.3 huh? That is a bit low.」

「Eh?」

「Huh?!」

「Hmm?」

Did. . . Did I just said something weird?

「. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  .」

「. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .」

Both Sherry and Roxanne are looking at me with their faces so grim and worried that I must have definitely upset them in some way. Perhaps I said that last bit about Sherry’s Villager Lv.2 Job being low out loud? That would have explained those troubled looks of theirs. Although I know their Jobs and their levels because they are the members of my Party where I am the leader, they do not know that. However, if Sherry was the only one to react in such a way, I would have understood that, since I made that rude comment about her specifically, but for Roxanne to act in such a troubled manner as well? That is something that I do not understand, but something must be going on with her, because ever since this morning when we were discussing the matter of the will she was acting a bit strange, unlike her usual, obedient self, and also that she was acting a bit cold towards me ever since I bought Sherry. Quick, I have to change the subject to something more neutral, and fast!

「Uhm, so Sherry, have you heard anything of a Hero Job?」

「Ah, y-yes, I heard something about it, Supposedly it is the Job that belonged to the first emperor of the empire, or at least that is what the legends are saying.」

「So it is something that exists only in legends, huh?」

「Yes, but because there is no such thing as a Hero’s Guild, then that Job does not actually exist and it is only something that was made up to justify why the first emperor was as strong as he was.」

So the Job of a Hero is as rare as I thought.

「So what would have happened if the people learned that this Job actually does exist? How they would have reacted to it?」

「Since it is a Job that was only held by one person before, the first emperor of this country, then if there ever was a person who claimed to have obtained it as well, they would have probably be charged with the accusations of plotting a rebellion against the current emperor and his government and swiftly executed to avoid raising any kind of unrest within the populace.」

Eh? Say what? A Hero, someone who is one of the most respected people in practically every RPG because of his power, achievements and his destiny of defeating the Demon Lord or whatever kind of evil is currently plaguing the world would be treated as the absolute worst kind of criminal and get killed simply for possessing a Job? What the fuck is wrong with that line of reasoning. . . no wait. Actually, now that I think about it, such a thing could really do happen. Yeah, given the information that Sherry provided me with just now, it is definitely something that could transpire. If the rumors say that the only person ever known to hold the Job of a Hero was this country’s first emperor, then the authorities would probably think that anyone claiming to have that Job as well would be a fraud or someone looking to throw the empire into chaos by, let us say, claiming to be a long-lost descendant of the first emperor with the claims to the empire’s throne. . . . . . ..  so if someone ever found out that I possess the Job of a Hero. . . .  ugh, I do not even want to think about what would happen to me then.

「Okay, now that we got all those things sorted out, I think it is high time for me to finally go and do some shopping, would you not agree?」

「Y-Yes! I almost forgot that this was what you were supposed to be doing! Forgive me for my forgetfulness, master!」

「Nah, it is fine. To tell you the truth, I almost forgot about it as well on only remembered it now. Now that we have all those things explained to one another, then I can go right now.」

「「Understood!」」

I do not know what else I could have said in order to get myself out of plunging head-first into another sticky subject, so I figured that a good old run-away strategy would be the most effective here. Roxanne probably understood what my intentions were, because she simply have me a thoughtful look and an affirmative nod.

「Once I get back from the shopping, I will take care of preparing the bath, so I want Roxanne and Sherry to handle the preparations for dinner, okay?」

I said while preparing to cast Warp on the wall.

「Can you cook, Sherry?」
