As the strongest witch in history, I somehow ended up being feared so much that I’m all alone. So, I figured I’d buy a cute girl slave and ask her for all kinds of things
“Help, there’s no way I can refuse a hand extended toward me, especially when it belongs to a fragile, innocent girl.”
Moreover, if that hand belongs to a young and defenseless girl, it makes it even harder to refuse.
“Let’s start thinking about how to make money.”
Of course, I want to help, and while I’ve become quite reliant on Tia, I started taking action to help Arona , who extended her hand to me.
“I-I can make lots of things that can be sold…!”
The power carried by the name “witch” is probably greater than I thought. If it’s something I’ve made, it should sell to some extent.
“P-Please, I beg you…!”
“A-Ah!”
“Tia says she’ll take care of Etana. Just wait for us as if you’re on a big ship.”
“...!”
Y-Yes, yes, exactly! I quickly nodded in response to Tia’s words, who spoke on behalf of Arona , bowing her head for me.
“Ah, and one more thing—this was something Etana and I came up with together, but don’t think we’re going to take care of you for the rest of your life. Understand that, alright?”
“Th-That’s fine! I wouldn’t ask for that much, of course. Just… just for now, if I can just get through this… if I can grow big enough…!”
“Yeah, after you grow up, you’ll need to work hard on your own, Arona .”
“Of course!”
It’s truly beautiful to see such a young girl, who feels so strongly about the orphanage that raised her.
“So, what we’re going to do now is focus on repaying the debt the orphanage has and earning enough money for living expenses for the time being. Just these two things. Understand that this is the limit, alright?”
“Of course.”
“Now, what we’re going to do is simple. Arona and I will sell the things Etana makes. That’s it. Simple, right? After all, they’re things made by a witch. There’s no way they won’t sell. The things Etana makes are amazing.”
“Eh, ehe.”
My long life has had many phases, and during one of them, I got into crafting and made a lot of things that are now just gathering dust in a warehouse.
I think it will be enough to just pull those out.
“Ah, by the way, when it comes to selling, I can’t rely on Etana’s power. We’ll have to fend off anyone who approaches Etana with impure intentions. Be ready for that.”
“Ah, yes! I understand!”
“…
It’s a bit embarrassing that I, the oldest, am already being sidelined in the sales part of this. I’m completely leaving it to them… But it’s the truth, so I can’t argue with that.
I-I need to get better at communicating with others…! Right now, the only person I can have a proper conversation with is Tia.
