The treatment of the slum dwellers was completed, and the arrangements for the eels were successfully made. I tried to get some information about the entertainment district from Mr. Jude, but he worried me a lot. I am a little sorry about that.
We parted from Mr. Jude and walked toward our destination in the royal city after dark. Based on Mr. Jude's information, the place where we are heading now is not a safe place, but it is full of the energy of desire. A place where the entire west side of the city is filled with stores for nightlife. ...... I'm getting excited.
After visiting the less secure area, we will move to the more upscale entertainment district, which I was told is the best place to have fun. I heard that the less secure area is more fun and wild, but it is a mixture of rocks and stones, and the percentage of rocks is quite high.
The locals have no problem going there for fun, but outsiders who don't know anything about it have a big chance of getting ripped off. Jude-san gave us some safe places to play, but we should go to the high-end entertainment district to avoid getting drunk and going into the shady stores.
For a moment, I was a little wobbly when Jude told me that Mr. Blast was in charge of getting me some of the prettiest girls. ...... One of the best parts of the trip is choosing the places you want to go and getting excited about it yourself.
I'm going to head to my destination a little faster while repeating the fun fantasies in my head. Oh, but first, let's cancel the inn. Jude says that we can stay overnight at a higher rate, so of course we'll choose to stay overnight.
I'm sure I'll choose to stay overnight if that's the case.
......This is the entertainment district of the royal city (for locals)......I like this atmosphere.
The entrance to a place where an entire street is dedicated to the nightlife. The streets are twice as wide as other streets and crowded with people. Light balls are set off everywhere, reminding me of a glamorous neon district.
I have just discovered a shocking fact. I don't know how they change the color of the light balls. ...... but it must take a lot of people to launch such a large number of light balls. It doesn't seem so difficult and I'll ask Sylphy about it when I get back to paradise.
But I guess it's the same in this world that pink and purple are used a lot to create an erotic and suspicious atmosphere, even if it's a different world. Moreover, the cobblestone streets lined with stone buildings add to the weird atmosphere.
For a while, I was gawking at the weird and otherworldly scene, but then I remembered my original purpose. The high-end stores are located on the east side of the city, which is quite a distance away, so I can't stay here. He regains his strength and steps into the street.
I feel a change in the atmosphere as I step into the street. Lively voices are heard here and there, trying to attract customers. Laughing men parading around looking for the girl of their choice. A man singing a terrible song, perhaps already drunk. The energy of desire seems to be pouring down on me from the chaos.
A lively place, beautiful women waving their hands from the windows on both sides of the room...it somehow reminds me of the tulip and windmill country, though I've never been there.
I'd like to drink and go to the restaurant I like, but it would be too sad if I get into trouble here and summon Sylphy. If I get into danger and can't help myself, I'll summon Nomos to help me. Vita is not good at fighting.
She moves toward the back of the house, dodging people as she goes. Every time you pass by a store, an agitated looking woman calls out to you and waves. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come here even if you don't have any money, just to walk down this street.
Huh? Are you hiding? It's hard to get blood in a very small area.
"Have a drink at my place, brother.
Suddenly, they take my arms and pull me. A pushy tout. In Japan, this would be illegal, but there seems to be no such law in this world.
Mr. Jude told me that the stores with aggressive touts and those that offer only good things at first are in great danger of rip-offs. Especially, he says, if the tout is a beautiful woman and there is too much contact with her, you can be sure that you have already been ripped off.
In addition, you should check which bar you are going to, and if the inside of the bar is not visible from the outside, the danger level is the highest. If you go inside, you will find .......
On the other hand, you can trust touts of older women and men. They are often hired by well-run establishments and have repeat customers, so they do not try to tout unreasonably. They may approach you easily, but if you refuse, they will back off immediately.
The woman who has her arms around me now. A stunningly beautiful woman. Her soft parts are aggressively pressed against my arm.
"We're a safe, secure, and clear-cut company. Three hundred elts a glass of ale. There are a lot of beautiful women dancing in the bar, some in very special outfits. It's a sight for sore eyes. The brother is so cool, you'll be irresistible, and it's fun!
...... It's pitch black. I must have been a sitting duck because I was walking around like a country bumpkin. I was underestimated. We've got all the information we need from you, Jude. We will not be fooled.
"...... What's the special outfit?"
"Oh, you're curious? But you'll have to wait until you get there. You'll be surprised!"
I was curious and asked a question.
"Which one?"
That's the store. You can't see inside because of the special dancing, to avoid prying eyes."
He even explained things I didn't ask. This is it. Once you get inside, you'll find it at ....... I'll miss the feeling of his arms around me, but I don't want to be ....... Let's just say no and move on.
It was very hard to say no to ....... Let's go into the store anyway. It's free just to look. Free cup of ale now. The woman who kept me from moving on and kept adding more and more lenient conditions to my offer.
Finally, she even offered to provide me with services that are forbidden to 18-year-olds. I shrugged off all the temptations and continued on, only to be met with swearing from behind. I think such a scary thing would make other suckers run away, right?
We wander around the entertainment district (for locals) of the royal capital, struggling against the occasional pushy touts. There are women of various races, and my neck aches from scurrying around too much.
Catmice, dogmice, dogfishers, foxes, elves, dark elves, dwarves, demons, it's too wonderful, this world. How many times have I been tempted to enter a store even though I knew it was dangerous? If it weren't for the entertainment district (the upscale one) that follows, I think I would have fallen.
Whew, I'm a bit tired from walking, so I'm going to have a quick drink at the place Jude suggested. I have some drinks in my magic bag, but this is the entertainment district (for the locals). It would be a shame to pass by. I think he said some flashy place with a gold sign, a little further back than the center of the street.
...... that's the one. It sure is flashy. The big gold sign is framed by countless light bulbs, which are used to show off the area around it. This place seems to be the type of place where women stand on a kind of a stand and dance in inflammatory costumes.
Unlike the first place I was approached, I can see the inside of this place from the street. I had been wondering what was going on, but when I saw the inside of the store, I thought to myself... This place looks like the entertainment district in the Land of Smiles. Maybe someone from the earth is involved in this place.
A little scared, I go under the flashy sign and enter the store. There is no one to guide you to ......, but I wonder if you can sit wherever you want. I don't understand the system, but if you get angry, just apologize.
You choose a seat with a cover, as it is called, and sit down to observe the inside of the restaurant. The interior is dimly lit, perhaps by adjusting the amount of light bulbs. A live band is playing lively music at the end of the restaurant. In a sense, it is luxurious.
Hmmm... ...... is well thought out. The amount of light is adjusted so that you can see the dancers on the stage, but the area where the customers sit is dimly lit so that you can't see who is sitting there. Thanks to this, even if you are absorbed in the dancers, you will not be seen by the people around you with a sloppy expression.
Yes, this system is very helpful for me, as I tend to show my facial expressions easily. Let's observe the dancers and grin to our heart's content.
"Are you ready to order?"
As soon as I turned my attention to the dancer to grin, a woman dressed in a low-fabric dress holding a silver round tray asked me what I wanted to order. This place makes me nervous at every turn.
"Um, ale, please."
"That'll be 500 elt."
I didn't know I had to pay in advance. He takes out 500 elt and puts it on a silver round tray. After waiting for a while, the ale is brought. Wow, the ale is cold here. It seems that this store is highly recommended, and they are making enough money to set up the magic equipment.
I was thirsty from all the walking, so I drank more than half of the ale at once. Oh, shoot, I should have asked for a second drink, but if I drink too much, I'll want to sit down. I want to finish it with one drink for the rest of the night.
So I'll just drink a little more and watch the dancers, grinning with pleasure in my eyes.
**
Whew, the night breeze feels good. I quench my thirst at Jude's recommended restaurant, and the night breeze calms my high spirits a little after seeing the dancers. Well, I doubt if it's worth it, since I'll be high as soon as I arrive at the entertainment district (the high-class line).
After visiting the entertainment district (for the locals), I think as I head for the entertainment district (the upscale line). The entertainment district (for locals) was quite enjoyable, too. I have never been to the entertainment district of a large country or a labyrinth city, but from what I have heard, the entertainment district in the capital of the Kingdom of Beryl seems to be much larger than the one in the Labyrinth City.
For a moment, I wished I had chosen the Royal City of the Kingdom of Beryl as the first town from the Dead Land, but then I decided that such a place is just right for fun. If we use it as a base, it will be hard to have a loud play, and if we are not so open, we may end up visiting the entertainment district every day.
It would be very bad for the education of my little army + Gina. If Belle and her friends come to pick me up from the entertainment district, I'll probably be shocked beyond recovery. As I'm walking with subtly scary thoughts in my mind, I finally arrive at my destination, the entertainment district (the high-class line). Finally, it's time for the real thing, the entertainment district (high-class line). Let's play!
...... is .............
