Book 2: Chapter 13
Arent you the energetic one, sir? Youre already here so early in the morning?
I sweat that this is my first time going to a place of this sort. As soon as I entered, all my senses were overwhelmed by the scent of cheap perfumes and the smiles of women. The majority of them appeared only wearing short skirts. They smiled mockingly as they looked over my way. One of them was smoking a pipe, while the others who were covered in heavy make-up looked at me with enchanting smiles and said.
Hmm
I havent seen you before. Youre not an old customer, so did you just arrive in the city? Youve come to the right place. Of all the places in the imperial city, were the best at helping men relax and have fun. Many travellers lost track of when they had to leave when they came here
I smiled bitterly. Are you sure that you didnt off them when they didnt have money to pay you? I feel like the probability that is highly probable But from a logical standpoint, the chances of such cases occurring in the imperial city shouldnt be too high, I dont think
Hey, uhh Id like to ask where blacksmiths are commonly found in the imperial city.
I really didnt want sink into depravity here, probably because all the women around me were all national-level beauties like mom, the empress, Nier, and Lucia. Im currently not interested in common women. However, I still need to gather the information I need Nier didnt enter with me just as I predicted. Once I get to the second floor, Ill find a window to jump out of and all will be well.
Blacksmiths? Blacksmiths are gathered three neighbourhoods away from here. Youll find a city wall inside the city there. I wouldnt go out of my way to go there, it stinks like rotten eggs. She frowned as she fanned her nose vigorously as though she was there smelling the stench.
I smiled bitterly to go along with her. The rotten egg smell she mentioned must be sulphur. But is it alright to have blacksmiths within the city? Isnt it better to have production engineering equipment placed on the city outskirts? The blacksmiths and artisans here must commonly use sulphur, right?
Wait! Sulphur?!
That must mean that humanitys technology has already reached the point where theyre using cannons then!
Ah, right I heard humanity already had guns when I was with the elves. But I thought they were arquebus so I didnt pay too much attention. I never expected them to have cannons already. For all I know, the standards of their cannons may already be at the 18th centurys level. That also means that humanity here has already started using flintlock guns.
Elves with magic wouldnt be able to keep up with the attack pace of humanity then. A human with a gun is a completely different being to a human without a gun.
Are you here to ask for directions, sir? How about relaxing now that youve got your answer? As our ancestors use to say, a man must relax his mind in order to work, right? This is also the first time Ive seen a man bring a girl along with him here Or is that your wife looking for you?
I turned around and was shocked to find Nier standing behind me. She closed her eyes and placed her right hand on her sword handle. All the women around me backed off in an instant. Niers aura was implying come close and Ill kill you, which was extremely frightening. She placed her hand on her sword handle while standing behind me in silent.
NIer Why did you come in?
This is no place for a girl to be!! What sort of psychological obstacles did you have to overcome to enter?! Why did you come in?!
Dont worry. You can do whatever you please. Just pretend Im not present.
Nier pulled out a piece of cloth thatd be used to cover her eyes, then flicked her ponytail and said: I can locate enemies just through my hearing so you dont have to worry. Please follow your degenerated soul and go ahead with your degenerative-depraved personal activities. This place is perfect for you if you think about it. How about you move into here?
I have nothing left to say about your animosity towards me
How can I pretend you dont exist?! Are you just going to watch me do what I want to do if I decided to?!
And youve deeply hurt me with your words once again!
The young lady is truly an interesting one. She looks so adorable when shes jealous.
Youre thinking too much. Im not jealous. To me, hes just a target that I hate to the very core and couldnt be more eager to kill.
Just kill me and be done with it
I cant, and thats why I asked you to kill yourself.
She drew her sword, went down on one knee and handed her sword to me with two hands I felt my mouth twitch. Its my mistake. I can accept living with anyone but Nier. Shes not joking. She really does hate me to my core! What did I do to you?! Or did the original prince do something to you?! What happened to us not sharing any relationship?! Why do you hate me like I prostituted you or abandoned you?!
Actually, its worse than that!
Please choose a girl for me!
I grit my teeth. If thats how you want to play, Ill go along with you! The second floor should be where the rooms are. I dare you to follow me into the room!
Sure! Who do you like?
A girl pulled me over, clapped her hands, and the girls who heard it came over and posed seductively. I swept my eyes across them. I wasnt earnestly choosing. Black hair, black eyes, tall and a generous bosom. Okay, you!
Wait!!
Arent those basically the empresss features?!
Aaaahhh!!! Is that what I think of the empress?! Why?! Why?! Shouldnt I choose one that resembles Lucia more? Why am I choosing one whos similar to the empress?!
Man, thats too scary!!
Alright. Get a room on the second floor
As soon as the woman finished shouting, the woman I chose rushed over. She smiled seductively and wrapped her arms around mine. I almost gagged because of her poor quality perfume. Seeing her up close, I noticed her face had wrinkles that couldnt be hidden and her skin was turning dark Sorry auntie, but I really dont feel that way about you. Once we get upstairs, Ill be leaving through the window. Ill pay you, dont worry!
Miss You dont need to follow us upstairs now do you?
Move
Nier pushed the boss lady aside with one hand. She stomped up to the second floor and followed closely behind me into a small room. She then closed the door and blocked the door.
I was face-to-face with the woman. The woman looked at Nier confused, tugged on my clothes and quietly asked: Whats this about?
Oh, dont worry about me. Just ignore me. Do whatever you please.
Nier brought a chair over and sat by the door. She closed her eyes and folded her arms, acting like she didnt exist. I grit my teeth, aggressively yanked the window open, left some gold coins behind and leapt out!!
Toss it! Ill leg it if I have to!!
