Thank you for the translation!

I do have to confess to having really mixed feelings towards this manga. The quality of the images is middle to low and the story is... the same. Still, there is something engaging, even though I find it hard to put my finger on it. Ah well, Sage or Demon Lord matters not, our MC is a slave trader at hearth! :)

I agree. Its weird, not the best of stories or art, yet somehow compelling.

Wait, what? They suddenly decide the slave merchant was being dishonest, the price is somehow higher than he said, and he never intended to let the girl go despite letting her stay the night with them and, to the merchant's knowledge, having her potentially lose a big selling point? Wtf? What logic is this???

It's the fact it's unabashedly earnest and takes its world seriously, so you can't help but get invested, even though it's a relatively light-hearted story.

So, why is her price so high? If she were a noble, or a rare species then I'd understand. But she's a human commoner in a country where you can probably buy a dozen of them for cheap. Even IF she was a talented, well trained maid, that doesn't explain the exorbitant price.
2 Million Yen (I'm assuming that's the parallel) is about 14K USD. It's not cheap, and I'm not about to look up the average price for human traffickers, but in a country where slavery is a common commodity it's ridiculous to think one of the most common form of that commodity is as expensive as it would be irl

Because pretty female slaves are still high end luxuries.

Is the plan turning that slave merchant into slave himself?

I sort of wish someone would follow through on this, but JP authors fetishize it too much.
It's like stealing something from someone, then trying to claim ownership and selling it back to them.
All that it would result in is getting knifed in the back. Without force behind it, it's simple kidnapping.

"Hey, you kidnapped and enslaved people unwillingly? Cool, I can do that too! Surprise, I own you now!"

I wish authors would think the universe through a little bit first.
Generally all their contrivances for "isekai society" collapse into warlord rule.

Edit: I wish this author would consider their own universe's rules, and try to be consistent if it's "a legitimate profession":

"By the way, did you know your slave was illegally kidnapped?" (Possession of stolen/illegal property)
"Oh shit, she never remembered. How can you prove it?" (Debtors trying to avoid the repo man)
"Here's a truth spell administered by the church." (Here's the 2-month verifiable guild/kingdom/police report)
"Oh crap, this is terrible for business. My guild license could be revoked. We'll undo it at the slavers guild ASAP."

That would be the only way any of this author's "slave trader profession" universe could possibly make any sense.
Otherwise you could kidnap people off the street left and right.
Or open up the "slaver city" for *(looting competitor kingdom) punitive force.

With all the girls misunderstanding MC's intentions of being alone with the slave maid, I do have to wonder: have they seriously sat down together, talked about their relations with him, realize none of them had ever gotten past first base with him, even though he has the power to pretty much to do whatever he wants with them at any time?

If he has never gotten that far with any of them up to this point, what makes them think he'd go straight to home base with a total stranger now?
