what do you mean sex slave??? there's nothing the LN that Mukhoda got himself a sex slave??
Girl, read the light novel. There's no mention of sex slaves whatsoever. Mukoda did get slaves but they're a whole family and adventurers. And he treat them as workers.
Guys, the reason why people are upset that there is slave purchasing in this series is because it is completely unnecessary. This is a fictional fantasy world that does not have to reflect reality. The author could have easily written in some magical contract that wasn't a SLAVE contract that could have sealed the lips of a REGULAR, WILLING worker. Even with this slave route, it did not have to be a hot woman SEX SLAVE. This is entirely the author's kink, and just because Mukoda does not react to it does not mean it's not fan service or there for again, the author's kinks. This is just a disgusting plot point that has never once been necessary. And, for female fans of this series, we thought it was going to steer clear of those pitfalls because of how the first two seasons presented themselves. Our disappointment mainly comes from that. There's no shade to people who continue to enjoy this story, it's just not the escape I came here for any more.
Also again, why sex slave? why a girl? why does this FANTASY world NEED to reflect this dark and horrible part of our real life when it's an escape cooking power fantasy that does not have anything meaningful to say about the horrific realities of the slave industry but that our main character gets to "save" her (and then do nothing about slavery as a whole from what I can see?). The point is that there is no big overarching narrative difference from having this girl NOT be a sex slave.
