CH 317.1

The sun has risen in the sky and is almost at its peak.

「There!」

A female student of about 20 years old yelled from the simulation cockpit set up outside the magic circle.

A remote-controlled humanoid golem about one meter tall flashed its sword. The other golem, which had been slammed down, fell on its back and stopped moving.

「Winner, Red-side!」

The instructor acting as referee declared.

The victorious female student, after bowing, gets up from her seat and wipes the beads of clear sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

At the same moment, a low, 『Whooa』 voice escaped from the men who had been watching the practice match.

The reason why not only the students but also the instructors who leaked such voices was probably because the sight of Light Cruiser-sensei wearing a tight skirt above the knee had such destructive power.

「I’m next.」

After calling out to Light Cruiser-sensei, Cool-san took a seat in the simulation cockpit.

She beat his opponent in no time and handed over the cockpit to the next student. As expected, the male students also leaked their voices this time too.

(….What’s with her? She’s too strong.)

The freckled girl with red hair in braids, who was watching the practice match, exhaled.

Light Cruiser-sensei with her one-hit-kill parrying technique. Cool-san with her fighting style of inflicting small damage whenever there was an opening, and taking her opponent down with the cumulative effect of her attacks.

They have different types of techniques, but they are unbeatable.

The only time either of them would taste the dirt was when they had a match against each other.

(And with this kind of strength, they’re still working in one of the three biggest brothels?)

Cassabell, Cionne, and Jayanne, which are the highest-class brothels that the royal capital is proud of.

For many women, it is their dream workplace, and for many men, it is the place of their dreams to visit someday.

The only one who can rival a job there would be a pilot of the Kingdom’s knight order.

(“Heaven does not grant people more than one talent”, huh…)

They have achieved greatness in a subject, and are still going for another one, leaving behind the other people who want to achieve the same thing.

The freckled girl with red hair in braids looks at them with a mixture of envy and jealousy, but she is not in a position to say anything.

Although a low-rank one, she also worked in a brothel. She was also recommended by the knight order to attend the pilot school because she has a talent for piloting Knights.

(Hmmm, well, it’s not like I have to join the knight order from here.)

The 『Regular Practical Exam』 held every fall. If she places in the top four, she will be able to participate in the knight order training, and if she is accepted, she will be allowed to join the knight order.

This is the final goal of the students who attend the school, but she is not aiming that far.

Because the knight order is a group of experts in combat. And to be engaged in a battle between life and death is their main duty.

(Learning how to control a golem for the future is enough for me.)

Whether in a workshop, farm or as a driver of regular golem carriages. The pay shouldn’t be too bad for working in these areas.

For that reason, she wanted to leave a good record here in the school.

(I kept winning and losing a lot lately, so I have to work harder.)

Although she had climbed up the ladder from beginner to intermediate level, the results of the mock battles had not been good since she entered the advanced class.

(Uhehehehe)

Her cheeks loosen unconsciously when she thought about him.

He is a Knight mechanic for the merchant guild, and he had won a joint event with a lower-class brothel held the other day. And as a prize, he wanted to play with her.

(He could visit me at the store anytime, but I can’t believe he went out of his way to choose to play with me as the reward in the event too.)

It was she who was the favorite of Herbivore mechanic.

The freckled girl with red hair in braids was called 『The Drinker』 by her colleagues even though she cannot drink alcohol, because she can taste men’s extracts as 『Liquor』 with her lower throat.

(Ahh, now I feel like drinking after thinking about him.)

The taste of high alcohol content, like that in brandy or spirit, comes back to her and makes her lower throat throb.

It seems the fire in her body hasn’t completely extinguished since the play on the prize awarding day.

(Was it because of the massage I got before the play?)

It was done by a man wearing a golden mask.

It felt really good and very relaxing. To the point, she could feel him deeper than usual and drink it directly from the back of her mouth.

(It wasn’t that she grew past her limit, but because lowered the limit for her, though.)

A slight bulge in the abdomen which was characteristic of women. She thought as she touched it with her hand.

She didn’t know if it was true or not, but she had been told that it was 『Dr. Slime』, but she thinks it probably wasn’t true. Because she had been massaged by Dr. Slime before, and it felt as if she was going to melt away.

(Let’s consult Brandy onii-san first. If he’s a Knight mechanic, he should know a lot about Knights, and even though it was using a toy, he did win in the tournament, so he should know a thing or two about fighting.)

She shook her head lightly and thought about her main problem.

She thought that if she had something in common with him to discuss, the conversation would be fun and lively.

(If he gives me some advice, of course, he would want to hear the result, right?)

And then ask for other advice right then and there. Surely he will go to see me more often than he does now.

(Yep, what a good idea if I do say so myself)

The Drinker Girl feels more and more excited to meet him, both her body and her heart. Realizing that she unconsciously bent forward as her inner parts tightened, her cheek blushed and she took a glance around her.

(It’s alright)

After she made sure no one was watching, she cleared her throat and straightened her back.

***

The women who work at the brothel leave school practice before noon in order to be ready at the store in the evening.

The pilot school is extremely meritocratic, so no one blames them.

After lunch, the students pass the time in the corner of the auditorium until the afternoon practice games begin.

「Ahh, I want to do it with them…」

A young man sitting on the floor with his back against the wall sighs as he looks up at the high dome ceiling, built of stone in an arch.

In his mind are two schoolgirls who work in one of the three biggest brothels.

「Then just go to the store. I’m sure they’ll give you the best experiences in your life.」

A classmate sitting in the same position said to him, and he replies, 『There’s no way I have that kind of money! 』.

Pilots are certainly well paid, but they are only 『Eggs of pilots』. No one will give them any money just for attending school.

They exhaled loudly in unison. A middle-aged instructor stops in front of them and says condescendingly.

「I’ve placed a reservation tonight.」

Just the two of us, having conversations, touching and being touched, and embracing each other.

The young men are excited by these words and raise their bodies.

「One is gentle and the other one is cold. I was torn choosing between the two, but I decided to go with the gentler one first.」

He must’ve meant Light Cruiser-sensei. The middle-aged instructor doesn’t know yet, but he won’t be able to make a reservation with Cool-san because she won’t take anything but first-timers.

He told the two who seemed frustrated to the point of shedding tears of blood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

「So you guys should hurry up and become a member of the knight order. You can visit the brothel anytime you want, while you’re still single.」

I’m one of the highest-paid instructors in the kingdom after all. The middle-aged instructor continued, and there was no lie in what he said.

He is actually a member of the Kingdom knight order and is temporarily assigned to the pilots’ school.

Incidentally, this old man is a married man. Therefore, the only time he can visit the big three brothels is on payday.

「Goddammit! I’ll show you that I can do it! And then I’ll go there every day, and depart for work in the knight order from the brothel every day!」

The young men screamed out, unable to control their emotions.

The middle-aged instructor, while pleased that he was able to motivate his students, smiled at the thought of what he was going to experience tonight.
