  ベテランの雰囲気は出てますね
  The vibe of a veteran comes out
  どちらかと言うと、最近粗製乱造の気もあるおっさん系といえますね。おっさんというより、ベテランのというところですが、粗製乱造系とは異なり、既視感ある場面はあまりなく、底辺で、ひどい扱いを受けているというのでもなく、ベテランとしてそこそこの地位、能力、実績を持っている、同様な周囲の仲間達との別れも彼らの味もでていますね。不死身のエルフ少女と出会い、奴隷として買い、ともに・・・というのは、追放ものなどである神獣美少女とかすごいスキルの美少女という設定と同様な感じがするのが欠点ですね。ただ、屑が次々に、それが悲惨な目に合うで楽しませよう、盛り上げようというのではなく、味のある登場人物がでるところや主人公の得る能力が無双というほどではないところがいいので、減点なしということで。面白い作品だと思いますし、今後を期待しています。

  If anything, it can be said that they are old men who have a sense of crude crafting recently. Rather than being an old man, he's a veteran, but unlike the crude craftsmanship system, there aren't many scenes where there is a sense of deja vu, and at the bottom, they aren't being treated badly, and they have a decent position, ability, and track record as a veteran, breaking up with similar friends around them and their flavors. The downside is that you meet an immortal elf girl, buy her as a slave, and together... feel similar to the setting of a beautiful divine beast girl who is banished, etc., or a beautiful girl with amazing skills. However, the scum one after another is not meant to entertain or excite in the face of misery; it is good that characters with taste appear or that the abilities obtained by the main character are not unrivaled, so there are no points deducted. I think it's an interesting work, and I'm looking forward to the future.

  冒険者をきっちりお仕事として書いています
  I'm writing Adventurer exactly as a job
  レベル3程度の冒険者イグニスが、借金してまで買った奴隷のエルフとともに稼いでいく話です。イグニスが美少女エルフの扱いにオタオタと困る様子が面白いです。

  It's a story about Ignis, a level 3 adventurer, who earns money along with slave elves that he even got into debt and bought. It's interesting to see how Ignis is having trouble dealing with Pretty Little Elf.

  奴隷少女を買う冒険者お義父さん 1巻まで
  The Adventurer Who Buys a Slave Girl until Volume 1
  This review contains spoilers. 1巻まで読了。奴隷エルフを買うパターンは珍しくない。その子と契約して新たな能力を得る。能力的には激チートにはなりそうにないが、特殊能力の成長や怪しいお店のアイテム次第ではさらに化けるかも。ロリ疑惑を避けるため、その子は変幻自在の呪いの鎧の中に入って活動するようになるので、見た目は某錬金術師のアル君のよう。可愛い姿を見る機会が減るのはコミック的にマイナスな気もするが、正体を隠す設定がストーリーに面白みを出してくれれば、他作品との差別化にはなるのかも。正体に気づいて溺愛する美人のお姉さんは間違いなく現れそう。てか現れてほしい。転剣とか盾の勇者と同様、お義父さん目線で楽しめると思う。面白い冒険の展開を期待。

  This review contains spoilers. I've read up to volume 1. The pattern of buying slave elves is not uncommon. Sign a contract with that kid and gain new abilities. It's unlikely to be a serious cheat in terms of abilities, but depending on the growth of special abilities and items in suspicious stores, it may become even more. In order to avoid Lori's suspicions, that child becomes active in the Transformative Curse Armor, so he looks like Al-kun from a certain alchemist. I also feel that fewer opportunities to see cute figures is negative in terms of comics, but if settings that hide the true identity bring out interest in the story, it may differentiate it from other works. A beautiful older sister who realizes her true identity and is in love with her definitely seems to show up. I want you to show up. I think you can enjoy it from your father-in-law's point of view, just like Hero in Sword and Shield. Expect interesting adventures to unfold.
