If you think about it, an indentured servant is a much more gentle term for a slave. And like Noel said, even though she had to choose between slaves and paid laborers, she still had to feed and maintain those slaves.
The real issue about slavery is the fact that one forcibly takes away the freedom of another. Doesn't prison do the same thing? And unlike slaves and prison work camps, prison by itself has to feed, clothe and house criminals while the criminals do basically nothing for society, but wait until their sentences run out or are given a parole. And many do not even learn their lesson and end up back in prison anyway.
Again, I highly suggest to fans to read How A Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom. The Manga hasn't caught up with the novel yet, and there is an announcement that it's going to get an anime soon. They have the issue of slavery come up and how they deal with it and how their viewpoints differ.
But, back to the story, Minato's family is about to make a big impact soon.

@yldDavid
Maybe she said that they all are children of the world's most famous Succubus, who even the king acknowledges as a close personal friend. Basically she pulled the "I and the rest of us HEAVILY out rank you in terms of authority at the moment. A single conversation could literally execute you all for just any reason I come up with". That or she promised to blow him later behind the guild building. Something like that.

succubus mom really gets around
Normally the guild doesn't get involved with slavery....unless it's to our advantage....
Even they know it's wrong....
Plus the last chapter said selling kids into slavery is legit, so I'm not sure why people keep insisting it's just criminals....
The topic of slavery is divisive in the story itself...so why shouldn't people talk about it?

That credit page essentially asking ppl to not discuss politics... feels as if it is discussing politics merely through the act of asking that 
(i know, it can be debated. but I would argue acknowledging a specific political viewpoint/debate, counts as something related to politics) Which makes it against magadex tos, despite being an attempt to uphold the tos? This is deliciously ironic.
you 'forgot to tl' what she said at the end there. Its a weird reaction, so cant be figured out from context (most low-hanging fruits doesnt fit his personality).
@HOOfan_1 clearly, its illegal to be orphaned by your parents. Solves that issue :d
Make note, it would not be illegal to orphan your child - it is the child who is the criminal when this occurs, of course.

It is actually disheartening knowing about MODERN slavery and the problems with human trafficking. Known stats say that more than 600,000 US citizens go missing while somewhere between 14,000 to 18,000 are trafficked into the US every year. In a 2012 study showed that more than 8 million children around the world went missing that year. This is not a problem that can be solved easily, not without a lot of work.
@thorlong
Many kinds of slavery in the US. The more abject kind, sex-slave ring that the wealthy elite pretend they aren't clients of, prison slavery (prison industrial complex, practically free profit fueled by throwing more and more minorities into it), among others. As bosses get stingier and stingier to maximize their on-paper profits, work slowly inches towards the concept, especially when it's too hard to find another job so you're forced to still come in, do the work of five-ten people and still get paid less than what one person should be getting.

Rather than the topic of slavery I think our real problem is when are those idiots from blue justice going to disappear. The topic on slavery seems better than dealing with those 3 three.
Nothing is above criticism. For art, not being criticized is the biggest insult, it means it is irrelevant, that it has no value to the world, that it might as well be ignored because there's nothing of interest to be said about it.
Art does not exist in a vacuum. It depicts a fantasy world, but it was written and drawn in the same real world that we live in, by real people who imprinted their lived experiences, their knowledge, their point of view, their dreams, their culture, their belief systems and their values to paper. How societal forces can shape individual forms of expressions.
The criticism is: what those are and what are the implications of broadcasting that set of values to the rest of the world?
What impact those values have in shaping our societies if they were to be absorved by the audience? How much do they reinforce the ideas that are used to justify real world injustice or how much they can contribute to the conceptualization of a better future?
The idea that slavery was natural during 'medieval' times, is not just historically imprecise, it leaves the implication that the forms of exploitation of labor today are also natural, necessary and that there's no other way things could be. There were other forms of organizing society in the past, there will be others besides capitalism in the future. But media can help create the perception that the current status quo is all there was, is and will be, so why try to change it?
As for slavery... the shadowrun games makes things very clear when they call people who work for corporations 'wage slaves'. The reference is not to the distant past or the distant future, its talking about us. Through the absurdist lens of a distopic future, it makes it clearer that we are living in an absurdist distopic world now. A fantasy is not just a fantasy, most of the time.
This in no way reflects the work of scanlators, their choice in series or the enjoyment of some aspects of the manga. It also means people care enough about it to post long tirades like this one. You need expectations and investment to be disapointed, if people didn't care they would just ignore it. So thank you and keep the good work.
Even if sometimes the author seems like they deserve a slap in the face, you have no reason to take it personally.
