The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 74 Part 1

Temporary Personnel

　Chirp, chirp, chirp.

「It is okay~, thrust up harder~, ahn, aaaaahn. Sei, so amazing, ahn, ahn, aaaah~」

I thrust up and attack Lorraine, who has been shaking her hips on top of me since early in the morning, from below as well. I have already ejaculated in Lorraine’s mouth once, but her skillful hips technique causes my urge to ejaculate to well up again.

「Lorraine, I’m at my limit already.」

「Haa, haa, it is okay, Sei, come anytime you want, ahn, ahn, ahn, aaaaaaah~. Haa, haa, youngling sure is amazing. It is spurting and stimulating my womb. I think it is going to give me a healthy baby. Fufufu.」

I ignore Lorraine, who is making such a disturbing comment, and cast Faom Cleanse and Evaporate on our sweaty bodies. It is already July, and the weather is getting pretty hot.

After Lorraine leaves for work, I visit the slave trader she has told me about. There is no dark air at all, be it the outside or the inside of the building. Slaves, huh. Of course, the first one has to be a beautiful animal ear girl who is somehow a virgin even though she is a slave, right? I heal the beautiful animal ear girl, who is sold at a cheap price because of defects like losing some limbs or suffering from illness, with an advanced potion I found in the labyrinth. I tell her that I am going to release her, but the beautiful animal ear girl says 「I will follow you, Master!」 or 「That is irresponsible of you to release your slave!」 and forcefully follows me. Then I go like: Good grief, even though I want to release you… it cannot be helped, I guess I will take you with me. If she has no combat abilities, her job will be to say 「As expected of you, Master!」. The animal ear role is occupied by Niinya, so another beastfolk should be fine.

「Thank you for coming today. I am this establishment’s representative, Dinos. How can I help you?」

「Yeah, I am looking for a party to explore the labyrinth. I was introduced to this place by an official of the Adventurers’ Association. I don’t plan to stay in this city for very long, so even if they are not slaves, I’m interested in hiring some temporary personnel.」

「Understood. Certainly, temporary personnel would be the best option for short-term labyrinth exploration. Our company basically does not deal in combat slaves, so I guess temporary personnel are the only way to go.」

「May I ask why you don’t deal in combat slaves?」

「Yes, they may be slaves, but if they are not treated well, there are some who will go as far as killing their masters. Once the ownership is transferred, our company no longer has nothing to do with it, but it will damage our reputation. Therefore, there are exceptions, of course, but basically we do not deal in combat slaves. We mainly deal in knowledge slaves and attendant slaves.」

Certainly, the otherworld templates, slave collars or slave magic, don’t exist in this world, so there must be cases where slaves who are treated poorly kill their masters with the resolve to die. Thinking about it, it is too scary to dive into a labyrinth with a slave with whom you have zero trust. It cannot be helped, I guess I will give up on the beautiful animal ear girl slave.

「I understand. So how many combat-capable temporary personnel do you have here? Can I see them right away?」

「No, temporary personnel are not slaves, so they are either working or waiting in their own homes. We will ask the client what kind of conditions they look for and how much of a budget they have, and then act ask as an intermediary.」

「I see. And how much is your commission?」

「Yes, we take 20% of the contract amount. Please understand that we charge at least one small gold coin per contract, regardless of the amount.」

I have about six large gold coins on hand. It is more difficult to spend money than to save it. Rather than letting it pile up as it is, let’s try to hire some temporary personnel once. Even if it fails, it will serve as a good experience.

「What kind of conditions shall we set?」

「Yeah, for the time being, the contract period will be about one month. Two personnel should do. Rather than hiring a large number of people of low ability for a long period of time, I would like to form a party with excellent people for a short period of time to gain experience. Since there is no danger of being surrounded by monsters in this labyrinth, I would like to go with a small number of elite personnel. My budget is about two large gold coins in total.」

「Oh, if those are the conditions, we should be able to introduce you to our best personnel. How about sexual intercourse?」

「Huh? Sexual intercourse? Are you going to introduce me to a female warrior?」

「Yes, if you can pay that amount of money for a short-term contract, I believe you can ask them to not only take care of you in battle but also your personal needs. If sexual intercourse is off the table, it is also possible to lower the contract amount or lengthen the contract period. I am thinking about introducing you to two female warriors who happen to match your conditions.」

「I see. What kind of personnel are they?」

「Yes, they were originally a party of one man and three women, but a few months ago they challenged the stratum Lord and failed. The man died and one of the women suffered a serious injury and had to visit the church several times. All three women had children with the man, and we recently found out that one of them, who is a porter, is pregnant. The other two women, aged 28 and 24, who are warriors, are the temporary personnel we are able to introduce this time. Their levels are 35 and 38.」

「I see. They work as temporary personnel to make a living or to pay off their debts, huh.」

「I don’t know if they have debts, but since they are hiring personnel to take care of their four children, their living expenses must be quite high. Since the porter is pregnant and unable to work, they seem to be diving into the labyrinth while hiring a new porter.」

Hmm, living expenses for four children and personnel expenses for a caretaker. On top of that, the porter is about to give birth to another baby, and will not be able to work for a while. Their life must be tough. Still, I guess adventurers really cannot afford to die, as expected. Otherwise, the families they leave behind will have a hard time. The adventurers I have killed should have families, too. I believe it was all in self-defense, but the thought of it makes me heavy-hearted.

「Got it. I’d like to decide on the details after I meet them.」

「Understood. Well then, could you please pay us a visit tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.? If negotiations are successful, we can seal the contract right then and there.」

「Got it. I’m fine with that.」

I make an appointment for tomorrow and head for the labyrinth. Since it is not early in the morning, the area in front of the labyrinth is empty. I pay five large copper coins and continue to make a map of the first stratum of the labyrinth, picking up where I left off yesterday.

The enemies I encounter are only small fist onis, and the passageway is wide, so I am able to proceed smoothly and finish mapping out the first stratum by midday. This stratum is full of rookie adventurers, hunting small fist onis and iron magic puppets in groups, so the number of monsters seems to be small. Twice I encounter adventurers hanging out next to the iron magic puppets they have defeated along the way. They are probably waiting for their porter, as they cannot carry out the entire puppets at once. A crushed human is lying on the side. He seems to have suffered an attack from the puppet from the front, so it must have been an instant death. The loss ratio seems to be pretty high. Since it is still early in the day, I decide to go to the second stratum.
