What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 55 Making Her Officially Mine

When we got to the market district, we first made a stop at another store with a sign that said "Tiara rchant Company" at its front. No prizes as to guessing why we're here.

A well dressed man was standing outside when we arrived, his eyes widening when he saw us.

He imdiately rushed up and hugged Linette tightly, "Linette!! Thank the Gods, you're alright!! I was so worried!!"

Linette teared up, "Father… I'm ok now… I'm sorry to have worried you…"

I quickly checked him with [Screened].

[Na: Malcolm Tiara

Title: Owner and founder of Tiara rchant Company

Race: Mahun

Stats:

21 Strength

13 Dexterity

18 Endurance

10 Magic

Skills:

Martial Skill-(Sword Proficiency (Tier 1)), Business Managent (Tier 3), Accounting (Tier 2), Leadership (Tier 3), Negotiations (Tier 2), Noble Etiquette (Tier 3)]

That's quite a number of skills he has there. Though considering he's also the founder of said company, he must have worked hard to build his empire up from scratch so it makes sense for him to have those skills.

Malcolm stepped back from his daughter, "What happened? I got word that the caravan was attacked by goblins and there were no survivors!"

She furrowed her brows, "It's all because of Brad! That ingrate wasn't happy that I wouldn't marry him so he thought that it would be better to kill while he runs off to Shendhala! I knew he was planning sothing but I didn't think he would do sothing this drastic… I thought he would only try to rape on the trip and I was prepared to deal with that…"

"What?! That bastard! I'll put up a bounty for him! I'll make sure he will never set foot within the Kingdom's lands again! We must thank the Gods that you managed to escape!"

Linette shook her head before gesturing to , "I had help, Father. If it weren't for Lady Aster here who had taken a quest from The Guild to slay the sa goblins, I would not be standing here today."

He finally took notice of and bowed his head slightly, "Well t, Lady Aster. I am Malcolm, owner of the Tiara rchant Company. You have my utmost gratitude for saving my daughter. If there is anything I can do for you, you only need to ask."

I waved my hand quickly, feeling a little awkward that a man much older than I was was bowing his head to , "Oh! There's no need for that! Miss Linette just happened to be there when I was getting rid of the goblins so it's simply a coincidence. Besides, she has already offered compensation for my help."

Malcolm turned to his daughter and she nodded, "I offered the slave we were transporting as paynt for her rescue and her protection to reach this city."

"I see. Thank you once again for saving my Linette, Lady Aster. I assu we'll need to arrange a recovery group to fetch the wagons now."

"Oh, that isn't necessary. Lady Aster has a magic bag of storage, father."

His eyes widened, "Lady Aster must be a famous rcenary then? Only veteran Guild mbers are able to afford such a magic item."

"Oh, no no. I only just started yesterday actually. I only managed to get one due to so lucky circumstances."

Like, getting 'reincarnated here and given the option of buying one' kind of circumstance.

He nodded, "I understand. In that case, where is the rest of your party?"

"Hmm? Oh! I'm currently a solo rcenary."

"... You took on… A Goblin raid party… All by yourself?"

Linette chipped in, "Lady Aster is really strong! She is at least Shadow tier in Umbramancy! She even managed to kill a Hell Wolf Alpha by herself!"

How does she know about my Umbra… Oh right… I used it to kill the goblins around them… I actually forgot about that.

"Ho? Then it seems my daughter is fortunate to et a budding rcenary like you, Lady Aster."

"Err… Could I know why you are calling 'lady'? Just Aster is fine, you know?"

Linette blinked at , "Lady Aster has a family na right? I saw it on your Guild card… Ah… I apologise, was that supposed to be a secret?"

Oh… Is this a case where only nobles get family nas? That would explain why so of the people I t only had one na. Well… I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering who I suspect Mother to be.

Since she doesn't seem to be advertising it… I guess I should ask them to keep it a secret too.

"Ah, it's alright just… Don't advertise it I suppose…"

Malcolm smiled at , "Not to worry, Miss Aster, I am quite familiar with your situation actually."

"Eh? You are?"

Does he know about Mother?

"That's right. It's quite common for children who aren't inheriting the family na to venture out on their own. Quite a number of them would join The Guild too so you're not alone."

Err… I guess I'll just let him think that's the case with since I'm pretty sure Mother only has as her child.

Whatever, I don't know how to explain to them anyway so I just nodded along.

Katsuki shifted a little closer to and Malcolm's attention moved to her, "I take it that's the slave Miss Aster has taken an interest in? Have you changed her ownership yet?"

Linette shook her head, "We were planning to go there after Miss Aster has deposited our wares, father."

"Ah, in that case, allow to accompany you as well, Miss Aster, it's the least I could do after you've not only rescued my daughter but also taken care of our wares. There's a slave shop just a few blocks down the road."

Since he offered, I wasn't going to say no either so we quickly brought out the wagons and trade goods before Malcolm led Linette, Katsuki and myself to the shop in question.

From the outside, it looked like any other shop and even the inside looked more like so classy hotel than a slave shop.

A man in a suit was there to greet us, "Good day sir and ladies. Welco to the Dragon Cage, are you looking to sell or buy?"

"Neither," Malcolm answered him quickly before gesturing to Katsuki. "We would like to transfer the ownership of this slave here."

He took one look at the Inugami girl before nodding to us, "That wouldn't be a problem. I will have one of our mages attend to you for this. The transfer fee will be a small silver coin, would that be ok?"

Seriously? Just this already cost a hundred Creas? Then again, Katsuki was valued at three hundred thousand Creas so I suppose that's considered a small price and the Guild registration fee was twice of this.

The fact that Malcolm did not dispute the price either must an that it was an expected price, since he simply nodded his head and fished out a silver coin from his pouch.

"I have confird the paynt, would the original and new owners follow with the slave, please?"

Linette and I followed behind the man while Katsuki moved a step behind . Malcolm seed content in waiting for us in the lobby area and waved us off.

We were brought to a rather opulent room and even invited to sit on the couch.

Katsuki naturally stood behind without another word while Linette took the seat beside .

A woman dressed similarly to the man who greeted us entered from a side door a few monts later.

Magic Skills:

Kalomancy (Tier 2), Alchemy (Tier 1)]

Kalomancy huh? It's a magic that allows the user to bend beasts to their will, I suppose there's a subsection of it that allows them to be used in this case too?

"Good day, I will be the mage in charge of transferring the ownership. May I know who the original and new owner is?"

Linette raised her hand before gesturing to , "I am the original owner. I wish to transfer the slave's ownership to her."

With how smoothly she told the mage, I suspect this isn't the first ti she is doing sothing like this.

The slave mage then presented a needle and a small vial to the both of us.

"Please prick a drop of blood into the vials and I will begin the transference process."

I watched as Linette took the needle and pricked the tip of her finger, letting a small drop of her blood splatter into the vial before wiping her finger with a cloth the slave mage presented.

I copied her and was slightly surprised to feel no pain, which I suspect must be an enchantnt from the needle or sothing.

The slave mage first took Linette's vial and gestured for Katsuki to co forward, the Inugami girl looking towards for permission and only moving when I nodded at her.

I watched as the slave mage started casting a spell and the blood in Linette's vial swirled into the air before splattering against the collar on Katsuki's neck, seemingly disappearing as soon as it touched the tal.

I'm guessing if I hadn't had that duel with Katsuki, she would have pulled out that knife of hers and stabbed in the back right now.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

The slave mage then did the sa thing with my blood and this ti the collar seed to glow a little before my blood disappeared as well.

[Slave collar: Magically enchanted collar that prevents the wearer from harming the one recognised as the owner of the slave. Current owner: Aster Nilm]

"It is done, thank you for using our services," The slave mage bowed before leaving without another word.

Well, that was fast.

Katsuki moved in front of and knelt, "Katsuki once again greets Mistress."

I thought about asking if it was ok to free Katsuki from this slavery business… But sothing tells asking that here would make look very ignorant so I decided to save that question for Mother instead.

Speaking of which… How do I find her now?
