Could be worse, she could have done the thing most other japanese fantasy manga protags do and buy only one slave, and then leave the others to suffer life in a cell, only torture and misery awaiting them.Buying all the slaves in a public setting is not the heroic thing you're making it seem.
I think buying one slave is still workable if the plan is to kill several buyers over the course of a few days. Eventually it becomes bad business to shop there, and that's when you either kill the main slaver or purchase the rest at a ridiculous discount and bait them to try and kill you.Could be worse, she could have done the thing most other japanese fantasy manga protags do and buy only one slave, and then leave the others to suffer life in a cell, only torture and misery awaiting them.
While the generic MC-kun grooms his slave as a wife without a care in the world.
But in this case, I still would have preferred she just used her OP one shot magic to kill the slavers in the first place, instead of participitating in that market.
If the issue is that she can't make a public scene, then she could have just used her body control magic to make it look like one of the merchants went mad and started stabbing the other merchants.
While I agree with you on the fact that their blessed ignorance is at peak while the rest are suffering, not everyone can afford to buy all slaves. Freeing one is still better than freeing none. Not even close to ideal, but better than nothing.Could be worse, she could have done the thing most other japanese fantasy manga protags do and buy only one slave, and then leave the others to suffer life in a cell, only torture and misery awaiting them.

Killing the slavers would have the same effect as closing all animal shelters. Without them, all these familiars would end up on the street, abandoned (not that it's much better for them this way), and possibly despised and ignored by everyone. Or worse, they could be hunted down and possibly killed like stray animals. If they're seen only as failures, there's no sympathy coming from the common folk.But in this case, I still would have preferred she just used her OP one shot magic to kill the slavers in the first place, instead of participitating in that market.

While buying them all might feed the pockets of slavers on the short run, the only good solution is changing the overall view on slavery. Otherwise you're only taking them out of one bad situation and putting them in another. Abandoned or enslaved, there's little difference for them in my opinion.

Living in slavery is better than starving to death
In circumstances of extreme poverty, living in slavery may be the least bad available option.
While slavery may be the least bad option for an individual, this doesn't justify slavery, but indicates that action should be taken to provide other better options to individuals.

And did I say keeping them in slavery would be better? No. I said simply killing the slavers would not do anything good. You've completely missed my point.From the link
