We got 2 new friends joining the Pirates of the Round Table.
The first one is a vampire knight. Adelhide Bernstein.
(TL: previously, I translate dame sofa as sofa. I think that this sofa will be a recurring villain who strips people from their productivity, so I will start translate it as idiot sofa. The softness turns people into idiots)
She is good at using magic with tags.
She could make a lot of small sized golems, but only a few person-sized golems. It seemed that the ability was limited by mana.
Her power seemed to be useful for human-wave tactics.
Regarding other magic, she can use every common magic except light and dark attribute.
She was also familiar with magic artifact, so I'll ask her to identify them if I managed to procure one.
They didn't seem to be from the Kingdom so I'll ask the guards in the Satellite City near here. And let's hand over these slave ship as well.
The only exception is the Empire.
(The slaves themselves are not bad. People sell themselves to support their family. Besides, criminal slaves are also a form of punishment)
Families who are too poor and can't live without selling themselves are common in ancient Japan. If slavery was forbidden, the entire family will starve to death or worked to the bone with low wages.
I'd rather be a slave. At least I have something to eat.
There are a few people who thinks like that.
In modern times, there are many companies who worked their employees 24 hours 365 days with low wages and no holiday breaks.

It's my first test in years. The school days are so far away, in term of years and dimensions.
Being summoned to another world, sent into a prison, arranging a prison break.
Party hard and capturing a random slave ship.
Initially, I was thinking about asking the pirates to teach me but they are useless.
(TL: someone help pls... 魔が付くが学者という事や騎士っぽい振る舞いをしているから教養があると思い頼んでみたのだ。)
Students need to study hard.
As a GM I just want to say that you need to study hard and play harder.
This world's character is similar to katakana so it's hard to see but relatively easy to remember.
(TL: I'm at loss with this one. これでキリル文字とか訳が分からん文体だったら覚えるのに相当苦労するはず。)
At first, I had trouble with the complicated letters and get a lot of wrong answers, this went on for days, and it ends today on the graduation exam.
Adelle couldn't stop staring at the board as she received it.
Her coffee was spilt.
(TL: She was asking if Masaki was ever gone some kind of education somewhere, but I was struggling to form the question in English)
「In my previous world, my country gave aids for education so every children can read and write. The numbers are same so I don't have any trouble with it. The letter were also similar to the ones in the previous world so if I can understand them if I put some effort」
Then I proceed to tell them that I was summoned from another world.
I haven't told anyone about 【Invicibility】 yet. It's too dangerous to disclose this information.
「I-I see… So that's why you can get perfect score on the numerical test」
Claudia managed to rise from the sofa.
Although there are educational facilities to study, they are expensive so only nobles and aristocrats can afford them.
No one can decipher his "encryption", that includes colleagues and seniors.
I savor a cookie after the test.
Using a culinary skill 【Taste Essence】, I can make a very delicious meal. This tastes great. However, if I do this too many times I would get stuck in the kitchen, so I only applied it to simple dishes.
We were having an elegant break time in the 『Room』 when someone shouts from the outside.
I'm going to leave this to Barbarossa. They made me into Big Boss without my permission, so I think they shouldn't complain about me giving orders.
「Soldiers won't take a move unless a crazy situation occurs」
「On the other hand, if there are anyone running rampage, pirates will help the soldier? Pirates are important customers」
Claudia stretched her hand to reach the last cookie, but Adelle snatch it away in a heartbeat.
「Aaa!」
「First come first serve!」
The knight has no mercy.
「Anyway, please don't worry about it. Let them handle the slave children and the slave ship crews」
「That would be better. Even if we do a good deed. If you turn in the slave ship crews on them, there will be bounties」
「It's nice to have gold, but it's not nice to be targeted」
「Masaki would turn the tables on them, though. As far as I can see, that sword has more power than an artifact」
So Claudia could understand just by looking at it. Obviously, this is a good sword.
It's sad to think about a boss monster trying to stay alive from the hunters.
***
We got out of the 『Room』 and went out to the deck to look at the city.
There was a big ship that was different from the Empire's in the distance.
(Is that… a galleon?)
A dragon was drawn on the mast.
But the Empire is still specialized in abnormal naval strength.
(If their ships came here, this city will fall as well)
Suddenly a small boat was headed to us. A soldier could be seen on board.
Separating the slave ship and brought it to the military.
His plate armor and shield had the same dragon emblem as the galleon mast.
「Yes. That's right. I hope that you will take care of them from here… is that okay?」
「Of course. Those we can identify will be returned to their hometown. Those who became orphans are protected here under the name of the Kingdom」
The protection here includes the search for foster parents and simple work at some facilities, just like the previous world.
There are some underdeveloped areas in the kingdom and they might get sent there, at least they got wage and won't starve to death. These were what I heard from the soldier.
But doing so will remove any protection provided by the Kingdom. The Kingdom doesn't protect adventurers.
「I understand. Please wait for them to get off」
「Do you have injured or sick people?」
「Everyone is healthy. We had healed their minor injuries」
「Really? I really appreciate it」
I didn't say how I healed them. I'd like to keep 【Healing Magic】 as confidential as possible.
We gave a small pouch to each slaves that leaving the ship.
I also drawn the cooking method in case they couldn't read the letters.
***
As everyone got off the ship, Roxas and Paddle came back with soldier wearing a fine armor.
The soldiers salutes him.
Don't get intimidated.
「Are you the leader of this pirates, Masaki?」(TL: he ends with Masaki kane, I don't know if it's a honorifics or not)
「Yes, I am. I am Masaki, the Big Boss. And you are?」
「I am the leader of St. Gran Kingdom's Chivalric Order, Mark Alan. I'd like to thank you for releasing the slaves and capturing the slave ship」
The leader came. He may be quite a big-shot.
「Don't worry about it. I did this is because I dislike the Empire」
「But still, I heard that you are a pirate, but you really don't look like one. If I had to say, you have a very unusual air」
You can discover if someone is a pirate just by talking to them?
So he really is a big-shot.
