I wonder if they'll find the fairy spring. She's already got access to a fairy though, so I assume that if she actually needed fairy water, she could find out how to do it fairly easily by asking her. I wonder why the brothers need the fairy water, but I guess a family member who is sick.

Made by fairies is not the same as made from fairies.

Fantasy beings in a world with both slavery and alchemy need to be extremely careful. Considering how terrified fairies have been shown so far "fairy water" probably involves many fairies and an industrial press.

Do the kids still go, "whoooosh"? Is that still a thing?

She already has a S ranked patron, and an S ranked party as customers, so most of the nobles will steer clear.

Also think that karudeno is smart enough to take Kaede and escape if she feels she couldn't fight off a group of ne'er do wells.

I know it's a common ingredient in isekai stories, but I'm still put off by how normalized the depiction of slavery is. It's just a morally-neutral part of the isekai like experience points and magic. Are there any isekai protagonists out there who are at least squicked out by the idea of buying and selling people like livestock?

Yes, quite a few. Even this FMC doesn't like it but has to use it.

Skeletal Knight is another isekai that slavery is portrayed as taboo and it's actually used for nefarious means.

There's also another one that I can't remember the name of that the premise is that he has a skill to break the slave collars and just goes around gathering a harem using that skill.

I think it gets used so often in isekai because they are portraying life in most cases pre-industrial eras which slavery/indentured servitude is very common. The fact that the MCs are okay with it is another thing but in their shoes they are getting used to so many differences that they probably are just getting information overload.

Ultimately, slavery is used as a lazy writing shortcut to instantly bond characters together without having to develop their relationship organically through actual storytelling.
