Once he had returned to the Raging Kingdom, Alan headed straight for his destination.
The person he needed was Kachou, the proprietor who ran a reputable and clean brothel.
"Well, well, Lord Alan! What brings you here?"
"It's been a while, Manager. I've got a favor to ask."
"What might that be? I'll do whatever I can to help..."
"I'm in a bit of a bind. I took the White Slave Guild — the ones in the Meigrant Kingdom who tried to enslave me — under my wing."
Kachou's manager wore a look of exasperation.
"I heard you had been traveling through Meigrant, but to think they actually tried to enslave Lord Alan... What absolute fools."
"The thing is, the owner doesn't seem all that remorseful. His name's Shtulte, and even with a collar around his neck, he's still defiant. He does his work, though."
"I see. Then all that's needed is to train him, correct?"
"You can do that?"
"Of course. We have staff with the [Taming] skill, after all."
"Wait — that's not the sexual kind of [Taming], is it? Because that's a bit..."
"We can do that too, of course, but we also have perfectly proper trainers. Rest assured, we'll mold him into an obedient servant for Lord Alan!"
The manager puffed out his chest with confidence.
For the record, his name was Luke, though Alan had long since forgotten it.

"Damn it, what the hell is with that brat?! He just shows up out of nowhere and says, 'From now on—
trai
Training
"Come receive my training," he says — what the hell is that guy thinking?
Shtolte of the White Slave Guild had been unilaterally informed by Alan — who appeared out of nowhere — and teleported to an unknown room via 'Transport.'
"Always barging in without warning — does he even know what the word 'privacy' means?!"
Besides, isn't he doing his job?
He had the collar on, so he went along with it, but unwillingly.
I mean, I've been running the top slave guild in the royal capital, you know.
So why the hell do I need some kind of training now?
And so Shtolte fumed inwardly, when a man entered the room.
"So you're the one who had the audacity to try and make Alan-sama into a slave. Looks like you'll be interesting to train."
"Who the hell are you?!"
"My name is Luke, manager of the brothel guild 'Kachō.' You must be Shtolte, owner of the largest slave guild in the Megrant Kingdom — the one who's known for his surprise attacks."
"Hmph, and so what?!"
"Well then, let's get started right away. Here they come now."
Crrrk, crrrk, crrrk — employees pushed in a cart.
A hot iron plate sitting on the cart sizzled and hissed.
"Hah, what, you gonna grill some meat now? You got vegetables too, right? I'm a health-conscious guy, you know."
"Still cracking jokes, are we? Now — put the forced prostration device on him."
An employee clicked the device onto Shtolte's body.
"We'll start with five seconds."
"!?"
