Wait, how does it work? After you pick a chess piece you're legally obligated to buy a slave? This MC acted like he couldn't, like, say "no, i don't want to buy a slave". Also, can't he use the money trying to find a away to extend Nina's life? Like, it may be immoral, but since she'll die in 6 months, can't we try to change her magic crystal with a new one? Can't he use the money he just spent on these slaves to get to the magic doll department or something like that to know a bit more about it? I'm not that serious about this, I'm just wondering why is he finding new mouth to feed while THE PERSON HE SAYS THAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT TO HIM IS ACTIVELY DYING.
