After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 6: In the past ten years, there are so many things that can happen with cat girls (1/2)

It has been five days since Reiner bought Nora.

These days, due to her right arm injury, Lenaki can only fight slimes around the village.

After getting along with each other, Reiner felt that Nora was the kind of girl who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Although he is quiet, he is very lively inside and is often curious about unknown things.

Most importantly, she no longer had any thoughts of running away.

"When I first brought you back, you always wanted to run away. Is it because you have other relatives?"

Nora said expressionlessly, "My family members are all dead. My father was killed by a monster while he was hunting outside. Not long ago, my mother fell off a cliff while picking herbs and died."

Just as Reiner was wondering why she was so quiet, Nora shed a few tears.

She wiped away her tears vigorously: "I cried again accidentally. I promised my mother that I must live strong.

I wanted to run away because my friend often told me that humans are bad, they like to bully the weak, and are also very lustful. If you are bought by bad people, you will live a life worse than death.

But you seem different from most humans, you are very polite and kind to me."

Reiner nodded and comforted him, "No, I will treat you well from now on. As long as I have a bite to eat, you will never go hungry."

Noila was slightly startled and whispered thank you.

After a moment of silence, Noila Mo asked cautiously, "Mr.... can I redeem myself?"

Redeem yourself?

Reiner smiled and nodded: "Of course, but it will definitely cost a lot of money."

"How many?"

"Let me calculate." Reiner picked up a small stone from the ground and began to calculate on the wall. "Your money, food and lodging, holy water for healing, clothes, weapons..."

After pretending to calculate for a while, Reiner said seriously, "Friendship price. Earn 20 Diast gold coins for me and I will set you free."

This way you can not only get your money back, but also make a lot of money.

If Nora could really come up with that much money, he would release them immediately and then go to the slave farm to pick out slaves.

Nora tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion: "Twenty gold coins...how much is it?"

Reiner continued to calculate, 1 gold coin is approximately equal to 432 copper coins, and twenty coins are 8640.

"About four thousand three hundred pieces of black bread."

Nora blinked and asked again, "How much is that?"

Reiner slapped his forehead.

There is no nine-year compulsory education in this world, and everyone's cultural level is limited. I'm afraid the literacy rate is less than 15%.

And those who understand arithmetic may not even reach one tenth of it.

Because when Reiner went to the city to buy things, he often encountered vendors who miscalculated prices.

For example, the price of a piece of black bread is clearly 2 copper coins.

He bought ten pieces of black bread, which should have cost him 20 copper coins, but was often miscalculated as 22 copper coins.

Even the human level of chemical synthesis is so low, not to mention the sub-humans whose lifestyle is close to that of primitive people.

Reiner made a rough analogy: "It's almost like half the village is filled with black bread."

Nora's eyes widened: "So many?"

Reiner nodded and continued, "If you save up for ten or eight years, you will definitely be able to pay it back."

"That's not a long time. I will work hard for you. When I save enough money, you have to keep your word." Nora said seriously.

"I promise to keep my word. As long as you are willing to leave, I will never let you stay." Reiner nodded.

To be honest, the probability that she won't want to do that by then is probably higher.

After all, for demihumans, this world is turbulent.

Who would be willing to quit when they have a stable meal ticket and a certain degree of freedom?

Reiner asked again: "If you are really free, where do you want to go?"
