It might be hopeless at this point.
Haruka... Misaki... Sayo...
We used to have so much fun together... hehehe.
Maybe I shouldn't have forced myself into marriage...
Perhaps, as women, we would have been happier just fooling around without getting married.
If people from Jimna Village come here, maybe they can help.
But let's not dwell on that... there's no way they would come.
Hehehe, quitting being an adventurer was a mistake...
In the end, except for Haruka, none of us have found happiness.
Even Haruka... well, she's probably happier than me.
Sigh, where did I go wrong?
Where is it...
Oh, never mind. Thinking about it won't change anything.
I feel so dizzy, probably because I haven't eaten.
'When I grow up, I want to marry Aunt Shizuko.'
Hehehe, maybe that's the only time someone said that to me.
Back then, that stupid father even said he would sell me for a gold coin.
That boy blushed, and he asked, "Really?..."
Even though he was a boy, he was so skilled, making flower crowns for me.
He used to bring me flowers, and since my parents weren't around, he even gave me sweet potatoes, food, and precious candies.
My son Zect is nothing like him.
My son calls me an old hag... he's completely different.
Looking back, he was a fair and handsome boy.
Hehehe, it's been a lonely life.
"I love you," "Please marry me." I didn't know how to react when he said that with such sincerity!
But... there were others too... well, never mind.
"May I ask how can I help you today, Ceres-sama?"
"I was thinking I'd like to take a look at some female slaves."
"But aren't you a member of the Hero party?"
It seems another customer has arrived.
Well, they won't come past the curtains here anyway.
The voice sounds really young, and they probably won't even open the curtains.
"Ceres-sama, you're part of the Hero party, right? Are you sure about this?"
"Just the other day, I was dismissed from the party. Now, I'm just an adventurer. Just Ceres."
"I see."
I feel like I've heard that voice somewhere before.
"So, how is it?"
"Well then you've come at a good time because we have a lot of female slaves right now ranging from elf to former noblewoman at our disposal... please come on in!"
"No, I want to see household slaves and other low-value female slaves."
"Household slave... well... I beg your pardon... but I'm sure you'll have trouble with housework when you're alone... Please forgive me... I misunderstood you... then from the curtains over there... are household slaves and other low-value slaves... Please feel free to look around."
He's coming here...
But having hope is pointless.
There are three others here besides me...
All of them are younger, in their late twenties.
If he chooses, he'll pick one of them.
"it's terrible. There are no beds, and it's like treating them like animals."
I heard a voice saying that.
My cage is the farthest back among the household slaves.
But there's no way he'll come here...
No, wait, it seems he's coming this way.
Anyone will do; I hope he buys someone.
"No way...!"
A familiar voice...
"Shizuko-san...!?"
"?! ...Ceres-kun... is that you?"
The boy who confessed his love to me when we were young.
Ceres-kun stared at me with a surprised expression.
