Orc Harem Vol 1 Chapter 10

Chapter 10: As Expected, The First Harem Member Was an Elf

.

After using my daily morning routine which was applying the camouflage magic to look like human, I went out of my house with a bag that was stuffed full of gold coin and headed toward my business partner. From today I would begin a bigger business using the money that I had earned until now as the capital.

I was doing the preparation for that carefully.

The inside of the bag in my hand was filled with almost all the money that I had earned during these two months.

It wasn’t really praiseworthy to walk around outside while bringing so much money, but the business this time needed money no matter what.

……Well, if there was anyone who sniffed the smell of money and tried to steal it from me, they would regret ever being born.

There were also those who tried to remove me with violence or stealing my money when I was doing the menchi katsu business.

It was a constant in any industry that the successful would be envied.

To raise a concrete example, there was that time when my business rival hired some thugs and set them on me, or having some people who looked like yakuza glaring at my stand.

I turned the table on the thugs, made them spat out the name of their employer, and charged that guy with exorbitant price as reparation money.

As for the yakuza, I cornered them until they dogeza and said 『Ork-san, please let me introduce you to my superior. I beg you』 while crying. I did it in order from the underling until I reached the leadership at the top. Then I educated them sufficiently and made them my pawns.

I was associating with them even now to have them various dirty things. Of course it wasn’t for free. I was paying them properly. The relationship wouldn’t last long if I only tied them down with terror.

Right now those yakuza were a convenient pet dog.

I felt gazes on me while I walked on the street.

Now I had become someone who was receiving gazes of jealousy as a young successful person. That Ork Brand’s Menchi Katsu had become this city’s famous product. It was so famous that there would even be customers from outside the city coming here just to eat it.

It was a pleasure to create something good that made everyone happy.

While I was walking on the main street, a horse carriage came running with a rough driving.

It was carrying an iron cage. There was a beautiful girl inside it.

But, that girl wasn’t a human. Those beautiful golden hair and jade green eyes, she was an elf. She must be from a different tribe from the elf tribe that had relationship with the orc village. Just like how orc had various species and diverse groups, even elves were scattered all over the world.

There were traces of tears on her eyes. A gag was put into her mouth and her hands were shackled so that she couldn’t use magic.

A man who dressed up to an excessive degree appeared near the girl’s cage and clapped his hands to gather everyone’s attention.

「Everyone, allow me to unveil this to all of you lucky people who manage to be here! This is an elf that was captured from Yhwach Forest. Furthermore, she is a virgin! She will be the featured good for the auction tomorrow, so don’t miss your chance to come and participate in the auction to obtain her! Elf is really great you know? She is beautiful as you can see! In addition, they are very difficult to get pregnant, and they will maintain their youthful figure many times longer than human and their body is sturdy. You can enjoy her yourself or use her to attract guests! It’s also said that a man who take an elf’s virginity will be blessed with luck! An elf is something that might only appear for grabs once every ten years!」

……I would think this sometimes, human said that monster was crazy and dangerous, but even monster wouldn’t kidnap woman of other species, treated her like merchandise, and used her as toy or disposable good like this.

Wasn’t human far crazier and dangerous than monster?

You know how Tou-san also became the demon king and tried to destroy human.

The reason Tou-san became the demon king was to protect monsters from human.

Human thought that they could do whatever they pleased if the other party was monster. They stole land from monster, burned their farm, kidnapped their female, and sold them like merchandise.

They didn’t even consider such act as evil.

That was why the monsters banded together and opposed the humans.

Like that the demon king army was formed. As the strongest monster, Tou-san became the demon king.

At the end of a long war, the demon king Tou-san formed a treaty with Forland’s king.

The content of the treaty was nonaggression to the village and settlement of the races that Tou-san specified, and the prohibition of trafficking monster slave.

With the treaty formed and no reason to fight anymore, Tou-san dissolved the demon king army.

But, in the end that was only the treaty between Tou-san and Forland Kingdom.

Monster was still treated as object like this outside Forland Kingdom.

I had appearance that looked closer to human and also camouflaged myself as human using magic, but if my true identity as orc was exposed, even all my business partners until now would surely change their attitude.

「……Now then, what should I do.」

The fate of elf who was made into human’s toy was the worst. Especially a cute girl like this one.

I wanted to save her.

I tightly grasped the money in my hand.

If I used all this money, I could make a successful bid for that girl and saved her. ……Elf was really expensive. After all they were beautiful, they would maintain their youth for dozens of years, and they were sturdy, so there were countless humans who thought that they would be able to get their money’s worth if they made an elf took on hundreds of customers.

I wouldn’t be able to reach her unless I used up all the money that I desperately earned during these two months.

But, if I did something like that then my effort to create an environment for my harem would return to zero. I looked toward the girl with a complicated feeling.

Our eyes met. Those jade colored eyes stole my heart. She was a cute girl. I wanted to protect her.

Above all else, I wanted to obtain her.

「I won’t be able to go to brother for a while huh.」

There was no way I would be able to create a harem if I abandoned this girl crying in front of me.

A man like that had no qualification to embrace a woman.

I’d save that girl.

But, I wouldn’t suddenly put her into my harem. First I’d return her to her homeland.

I’d also asked her whether she wanted to be pushed down by me. If she wanted to give birth to my child, I’d add her into my harem. But, if she refused, then I’d do my best to make her wanted to be pushed down. If it was still no good even then, I’d give up.

You couldn’t buy someone’s heart with money.

You couldn’t create a harem with woman whose heart wasn’t connected with yours. I learned that from Kaa-san.

◇

The next day, I gave up on the big business I planned and came to the auction hall with all the money I had.

Various merchandises were auctioned one after another.

Thank god that elf girl was the only monster that was being sold. The current me could only save one person.

The music changed into one to enliven the place. The presenter was also making a dramatic pause.

Finally the girl’s turn arrived.

The elf girl was led on the stage with her hands shackled, her mouth gagged, and lascivious underwear put on her.

「Now, it’s finally the turn of the main merchandise today. As you can see, it’s a beautiful elf girl! Not only she has a pretty face, she also has a nice body. She is healthy and a virgin. It’s said that a man who take away an elf’s virginity will be blessed with good fortune. She is 16 years old. The bid will start from ten million gil.」

Ten million gil. A single bread cost a hundred gil.

That much price just for the minimum buyout price.

The amount that I could prepare was twenty five million gil. With this much, I had high chance to make a successful bid.

If this much still wasn’t enough, I could still add more until thirty million max by borrowing money and selling my assets.

「Eleven million!」

「Twelve million!」

「Thirteen million!」

The price was gradually increasing.

She seemed to be popular. There were many people joining the bid.

「Thirteen million five hundred thousand!」

「Fourteen million!」

The bid started to only increase by five hundred thousand each time. The price climbed up until fifteen million.

It would be the right time soon. Let’s make my move.

「Twenty million!」

The surrounding fell silent from my yell.

The price suddenly increased by five million while everyone was starting a chicken race with the minimum amount of bid increase.

Adding on the bid little by little like that would make everyone involved heating up and made the race continued for long.

It would be better to crush other bids from above like this if you seriously wanted to win the auction.

「Twe, twenty one million.」

One person raised the bid with a pale face.

「Twenty five million!」

I crushed it head on.

That was my declaration of intent that I absolutely wouldn’t draw back.

The place fell silent.

Was it decided with this……I would be troubled if this would still continue.

I hid my true feeling and made a composed face that said bring it on to everyone.

The presenter looked around.

「It came out, twenty five million. Looks like it’s going to be decided with this. Congratulations. As expected from the young businessman Ork-sama who have obtained great success in less than two months when originally he had nothing except his body in the beginning! What an astounding financial strength. Plese enjoy this elf to your heart’s content.」

……It was a painful expense, but I could still earn money again later.

I’m glad I could save her.

Just as I was feeling relieved like that.

「Thirty million!」

A voice resounded from behind.

Thirty million!? Even for an elf, paying that amount of money was just insane.

The voice declared the amount of money that was my limit even if I borrowed money and sold my assets.

When I looked toward the voice, there was an obese middle-aged man with air of vulgar prosperity there. He was looking at me with a nasty grin.

I recognized him.

This was the guy who failed magnificently when he opened a lot of shops with a knockoff of Ork Brand’s Menchi Katsu as his main product.

He was a prominent rich guy even in this city. Even so, the guy himself wasn’t a big deal. He was simply a pampered second generation.

This guy was holding a grudge toward me.

It seemed that the mass shops opening was a do-or-die game that this guy attempted in order to get out from the label of incompetent second generation president that his family and his company’s upper echelons stamped on him. He blamed his own failure to be all my fault and held unreasonable resentment toward me. He even came until my stand to rant. He also sent some minor harassments toward me.

This guy’s involvement here was unexpected. Thirty million was the limit of what I could pay. I would have to cross a dangerous bridge to bid any further than this. Even so I wanted to save that girl.

「Thirty five million!」

The second generation yelled again just when I was about to speak. It was a pointless addition based on the situation.

He was looking down at me triumphantly. Can you do something like this, I’m superior than you. His expression was saying that.

Aa, I’m convinced.

This guy, his only objective was to harass me. He was bidding just to make me frustrated.

It was the worst. Because this second generation could still bring out even more money.

I gave up. Nothing could be done here.

I shook my head to the presenter to signal my surrender.

Then the presenter announced the second generation’s successful bid and the auction was over.

◇

When I came out from the venue, the second generation chased after me.

「This is the difference of strength between you and me. You are really infatuated with that elf, but it’s too bad for you.」

「It’s my complete defeat. I have learned from this that in the end I’m just an upstart. I can’t rival a true millionaire like you.」

Buhyahyahya, the second generation laughed.

I acted humbly.

I knew that this guy resented me, but I never even imagined that he would go this far.

If I showed a defiant attitude here, this guy’s obstruction wouldn’t stop with just today.

That was why, I’d make him satisfied with this.

It would be uninspiring to simply act humbly, that was why I also flattered him a bit.

The second generation was getting comically ecstatic. It was funny watching him.

「So you finally realized my power. You are a better guy than I expected. It seems that you also have some amount of business talent. If you beg me with a dogeza, then I guess I won’t mind to hire you in my company.」

I smiled in respond and refused it humbly. The guy’s mood brightened even more from that.

I bowed my head when he turned around. While leaving, he looked back and saw me still bowing my head to him. He laughed loudly.

Well, I’d forgive him for today.

After all, I was going to do something horrible to him after this.

◇

There were two patterns for merchandise that had been bought from auction. The pattern where the merchandise was taken right away on the spot, and the pattern where the merchandise was delivered to the buyer’s home the next day.

What that guy chose was for the merchandise to be transferred him right at the same day.

I erased my presence and tailed the guy.

Nobody noticed me.

After all I was erasing my presence, borrowed the power of wind spirits to float in the air, and created a layer of air around me to bend the light and turned invisible.

The power of hero was convenient. It was impossible for mere human to have this fine control of magic.

The elf girl was handed to the second generation.

She was completely treated like an object. She was tied up and gagged while getting placed on the horse cart together with other auctioned items the guy bought.

Then the cart started running toward a stately mansion at the suburb, so I followed after it.

The cart entered a forest, out of anyone’s sight. This was the time to act.

I used wind to land softly on the cart and broke the lock. I made it looked like the lock broke down naturally.

The elf girl was lying down with a blank gaze. Her tears must have dried up a long time ago.

She couldn’t see my figure.

Now then, let’s finish this quickly. I approached stealthily and pushed a cloth that was soaked in sleeping drug to her mouth.

「Nn, un, mugu」

The girl immediately fainted.

It was a bit rough, but it would be dangerous if she struggled. The driver would also notice.

I carried the girl in princess carry and jumped down from the carriage.

With this, it would look like the cart’s lock was broken by accident and the elf girl jumped out from the cart to run away.

Without pause I made a big jump with the power of wind. I glided through the air and bought some distance. Then I hid among the trees.

I removed the chain and manacles on the girl.

It was pitiful for her to only wear underwear, so I put a mantel over her.

……Although it was to save this girl, I didn’t want to commit a crime.

But, my conscience was clean if my target was that second generation.

This was the reparation for the commotion he caused at my stand in the past and the bill for the feeling of superiority he had just tasted.

The elf girl woke up.

And then she looked around in confusion.

「Where is this? I was caught by human, got sold, and then, just now someone」

「So you are awake. I came to save you. I’ll bring you back to your village after this.」

「No way, you saved me from that? Thank you very」

The girl turned around. Then she saw me and became speechless.

「NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, ORC, I’LL GET RAPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED」

「And here it is, just the reaction I expected!!」

I had dispelled my camouflage magic because I thought she would be scared toward human, so to the girl my original appearance looked more like an orc than a human.

I had faintly anticipated this but this still hurt.

As I thought, the orc around here was also the type to kidnap girl.

The elf girl lost any strength in her waist.

I was used to something like this. Let’s slowly explain it to her.

I had to teach her that even among orc, there was also a gentleman orc like me.
