Chapter 384 Part 1

Riding on the Old Lady, a beige-colored humanoid golem about seventeen meters tall, a B-class Knight of the merchant guild, I make my way along the road that runs through a valley in the mountains.

My job for today and tomorrow is patrolling along the north-northwest route from the royal capital overnight.

 

(This is probably what they meant by seeing the winds.)

 

The dark green wheat fields, which I began to see spreading on both sides of the road indicate that I’m getting closer to the city. I thought to myself as I looked over at the way the tips of the wheat were swaying all at once.

 

(It makes me crave for some ale now.)

 

The reason for this sudden craving was because the green waves were barley, the raw material for ale. Since it was sown in winter and harvested in early summer, the tips should be starting to get heavy now that we’re in the spring.

By the way, the rural city where I will be staying today is famous as the 『Home of Ale』 as can be seen from the barley fields here.

 

(Alright, here we are.)

 

The city is much smaller than Landbarn and Awoke, but too big to be called a town. I enter the city through the main gate and park the Old Lady on one knee at the golem carriage parking lot.

Then, as I stepped out of the cockpit in the chest onto the cobblestone pavement, I squinted against the blinding sunlight.

 

(There weren’t many magic beasts on the way here. A day like this is nice too once in a while.)

 

The time is still too early to call it evening, and the reason I arrived at such a time is because the time I needed for magic beasts subjugation ended quicker than I expected.

In fact, I only encountered two small magic beasts along the way, less than half the usual number of magic beasts around. Moreover, both of them were the type that would not run away unless we got close to them, so I just needed to hit it once with offensive magic from a long distance.

 

(I guess I’ll take a short walk before coming back to the inn.)

 

Quite a bit of a long time passed since I moved to this world, but this is the first time I have stayed in this city. I needed to find out where the stores were so that I could enjoy the brothels that I had been promised.

With this in mind, I went out to the central square, which is common in all cities, and began to explore the area.

 

(This is weird. I can’t find any stores around. Just what’s with this city?)

 

Although there are a few ale stores that specialize in takeaway ale, there are no buildings that look like brothels. Let alone brothels, I didn’t even see any go-go bars.

 

(I can understand if it were a small village, but a city of this size… It’s simply impossible.)

 

At least, coming from my experiences.

So I went to the nearest inn and checked in. There, I asked the owner of the inn, who came out to the counter.

 

「Ahh, if you came from outside this city, it’s no wonder that you would feel that way.」

 

The good-looking old man with oiled hair and a well-groomed mustache and beard said proudly.

 

「That kind of entertainment in this city was always a 『Street Girls』.」

 

Street Girls are prostitutes who aren’t sitting on the platform in a brothel, dancing in a go-go bar, or hanging out in a compensated dating cafe, but simply waiting on the street to be approached by customers.

Unlike what they are called, they are not always standing, but many of them are sitting on the steps of the street.

 

(It must be the regional characteristic, but I’m not a fan of this kind of service.)

 

You can always find them along the walls in the central square, is what the innkeeper added as I sighed in my head.

For me, the order of quality and safety in this entertainment business is brothels, go-go bars, compensated dating cafes, and lastly, Street Girls.

 

『Buying items online from sellers who don’t have a store and ratings or reviews.』

 

This would be how I describe the dangers of playing with Street Girls.

In a bad way, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, in a way that even if you ended up getting into a bad situation, it would be the last time you saw them. There is no way to complain or ask for compensation.

 

『Stealing your wallet, hiding your shoes, and running away while you’re taking a shower in the bathroom.』

 

『When you walk hand in hand with them you will be led into a back alley before you know it, where men who appeared to be their friends would strip you of your clothes and belongings, then beat you up until you couldn’t move.』

 

『During negotiations in the park, you sipped a drink they gave you, fell asleep, and woke up to find that your wallet and other valuables had been stolen and your front teeth knocked out.』

 

I had heard from the guards in the royal capital incidents like this sometimes happened in compensated dating cafes and go-go bars. Therefore, I, who doesn’t have to worry about money, decided to 『only play in a place above go-go bars』.

The 『front teeth』 thing in the last, by the way, was something the guards do to make sure you’re not a raccoon or dog by kicking you with their knees.

 

「I can only imagine things going wrong with them, but…」

 

So I honestly told the old man how I felt.

I’m probably not the first person to express this concern, since the old man seemed accustomed to it and began to explain it so as to erase my fears.

 

「In other places, women standing on the street offering their service are often travelers, but here they are the mainstream. So it’s not dangerous to play with the women who are always seen in public in the central square.」

 

To summarize, this is what he explained to me.

This is a small city in the countryside, so most people know each other except for travelers. Naturally, people’s eyes will be more focused on unfamiliar faces and ex-convicts, which serves as a deterrent to crime.

 

「So that’s how it is. Thank you for your explanation.」

 

As I thanked the innkeeper, I slid a silver coin across the counter with my finger.

The hot-looking old man saw it, and while saying “That’s not why I’m doing this though”, he happily put it back in his pocket.

 

「You should not approach the ones who are standing deep in the back alley as if they’re trying to hide. Because those people are those who can’t get customers even in this city.」

 

He gave me even more valuable information.

 

(Alright then, let’s stroll around the central square and enjoy the local specialty ale and then enjoy a street girl for the first time in my life.)

 

After putting the small luggage in the inn and telling the innkeeper that I would have dinner outside, I headed straight for the central square.

As I circled the central square, like a tuna cruising the ocean, I noticed a woman who looked like a Street Girl.

 

(Their skirts were obviously shorter than those of the people in the city. And what’s more, they’re just standing there with even spacing along the outer edge of the plaza, doing nothing.)

 

Since it was still cold, they were wearing a coat on top. However, the front of the coat is open, so the inseam-length skirt and their white bare skin are visible.

The even spacing between them is probably some kind of territory or private space.

 

(There are a lot of them sitting on the stairs at the entrance of a building or the fence surrounding the flower beds.)

 

Nodding my head, I headed for one of the standing drinking stalls that specialize in ales. I ordered the home-made black ale, which apparently the pride of this stall, and a roasted smoked sausage, which is also home-made.

 

(I see. This certainly tastes like a local specialty.)

 

It has the quality and a unique taste that you won’t find in the royal capital, and I don’t think the taste will be widely accepted by the general public.

Luckily, I don’t go into the general public category, and the heavy-flavored ale tastes so good and went very well with strong-flavored snacks.

 

(Now that we’ve filled our stomachs, it’s time to play.)

 

After emptying my mug and admiring the taste, I walked out of the store. This time I look around at the women waiting for customers, with a feeling to choose a partner, not just watching them.

 

(Hm?)

 

There I noticed that a change had occurred in the street girls standing around in the central square. 

It was their age group. Specifically, there are fewer girls in their mid to late teens, and the number of girls who look over 20 is increasing.

 

(So that’s how it is.)

 

It’s just a guess, but the girls in their teens are probably students who part-time as Street Girls after school. I don’t know if it’s because there’s a curfew or because it’s already time for dinner, but they must have started going home.

On the other hand, the growing number of girls in their twenties and older are probably those who are trying to make some extra money after work.

 

(Let’s play with the students first before they’re all gone home.)

 

The girls seemed to be able to tell if I was a customer by the way I looked at them, and they made a move toward me.

 

(Oh, they’re making an appeal right away.)

 

The girl sitting on a waist-high wall shows off the white skin on the inside of her thighs by raising her knee. On the other hand, the girl sitting on the stone stairs turns her body so that the pink-colored triangle inside her skirt comes into my line of sight.

The Upskirt Girl made eye contact with me but quickly looked away, so I guess she wanted me to be the one who called out to her

 

(I’d be nervous if it was a normal pick-up, but since it’s a Street Girl pick-up we’re talking about, it doesn’t feel as nerve-wracking.)

 

I, who has zero romance experience and leans more toward self-care, approached the Upskirt Girl with pale pink underwear while having this thought and slightly waved at her.

 

「That’s enough, Oji-san*」

[*TL Note: A way to address middle-aged person.]

 

The Upskirt Girl nodded and raised her hips from the stone staircase.

There was a little dispute in our brief exchange about the location for the play. I insisted on doing it in the inn, while the girl insisted that we do it at her home, and it settled with me giving up.

 

(It’s strangely cheap.)

 

That was my honest impression. Even including the cost of the place to play, it’s only about a tenth of what you’d pay at a standard brothel in the royal capital.

Although it’s unclear how much is the play fee and the location fee, the fact the play location is at her home is probably one of the reasons it’s so cheap.

 

(Innkeeper old man… I’m going to trust you on this one.)

 

I was a little nervous about entering the other party’s territory, but I decided to believe what the innkeeper had said about the fact that 『the Street Girl who stands in plain sight in the central square is safe』.

Well, looking at the other party’s viewpoint, they were probably afraid to enter a traveler’s room, even if it was an inn.
