barter with red potion for beautiful virgin elf girl :meguu: if this manga has tags such as erotica or sexual violence, my mind might wander off somewhere else :haa:

An elf slave doing light work getting 1.5mil a month (though she was later said to make 350k/mo in this contract due to the potion payment) seems like a wild amount of money. I guess I don't know/remember exactly how much 1.5mil/mo is in this series, but just from the sound of it it seems like people would just be better off hiring regular employees to do work rather than slaves, for anything other than a romantic slave (which you wouldn't be able to just find a regular employee for, unless legal prostitution is a thing in this world too).

An elf slave doing light work getting 1.5mil a month [~etc, just read the post above this one]

One thing fantasy/isekai manga and novels tend to do is 1gold = 1yen. Maybe they're lazy, or uncreative, or just used to video games throwing gold around like it's pocket change or something.
Even so, 1.5mil yen is roughly* $15,000 USD, and 350,000 yen is ~$3500 USD, both of which seem ludicrously high wages for a slave/bonded servant. Especially since I imagine that the owner is also responsible for the slaves food/clothing/shelter etc. That said, without knowing what the average monthly wage for a commoner is in that world, it's all guesswork.

*I know it's not really 100 yen = 1 USD, but it's easy and near enough to get a general idea. And I'm lazy.

I really like healing scenes like this, it's easy to empathize with characters getting emotional over the recovery of a loved one.

Still I don't really like him keeping secrets from Saioji. She depends on him for so much and tries to accommodate him in every way possible. There's no reason not to trust her.

He gave us a comparison to use early, where like a gold bar (I think a month of income for a common family) was equivalent to a house in Japan, that and the Yugi-oh cards for 3000 gold are probably the closest we get to an explanation, since he also says that things have different values in each world.

According to the internet a gold bar is about 33 hundred dollars or close to 500 thousand yen.

Some people really be ungrateful af smh my head.

“Blood too thick” refers to genetic inbreeding in this context. Read up on how this can lead to genetic mutations

even though wating for releases still sucks, i'm pretty happy with the overall pacing of the story. neither rushing too much, nor taking progression steps too slowly.

i wonder what the elf, and likely the high elf, will think of MCs house once they'll move in. Maybe the High Elf will even be able to identify MCs origin or his Unique Skill and since previous chapters indicated that moving objects like the Flower to the other world granted it alot of mana, maybe the High Elf will be able to pass the door as well? "Welcome to Japan, High Elf~chan"? xd

In case anyone needs a reminder of what Tier 3 is about https://mangadex.org/chapter/2c5a2bad-c127-404d-9641-ecdb093edfb2/17

I'm honestly confused about this whole thing. Not only he bought her with the red potion, he will also need to give her salary? It's kinda weird that you need to do both, but I guess the potion (or the purchase cost) is like the signing bonus? Other than the confidential contract, I don't see the point of slave here.

Not to mention the merchant. Since the potion is used by the elf, how exactly is the merchant benefit here? Especially since it seems like they had to take care of the elf's "baggage" (the high elf that needs potion) for some time. Like what do they even gain from selling slaves?

I agree with the other comments here, this arrangement makes no sense. He's essentially giving someone a national treasure level item as a signing bonus, and their regular wage is high as well. At this point why even call this slavery.
