So, in that case, the best possible option here would be. . . . . . . . .

Roxanne, Sherry. I will take care of things here, so I want the two of you to go to the western clothing store we have been to earlier and do some shopping there, since it is about time for the three of us to get new sets of clothes.

Are you sure, master?

Yes, I do not mind. We have some money to spare, so we might as well spend them on clothes and some other daily necessities.

All right, as you wish.

Yes, that is what I wish right now. We would have to buy more clothes sooner rather than later, so this is as good of a chance as any to do so while keeping the girls safe from all those prying eyes at the same time.

After I saw the girls off with my eyes, I turned back and followed the Sex Maniac broker Laurel upstairs as he walked deeper and deeper into the Merchants Guild building. As I was walking a step behind him at all times, I began to wonder if maybe I should have Durandal with me when I entered here. I know that the chances of me getting jumped in the middle of the Guild building, and in broad daylight at that are pretty unlikely, but you know what they say, right? Being too cautious of the danger that might be lurking behind every corner has never actually killed nobody.

A short while later, we have arrived at a thoroughly bleak-looking room with only a table and chairs in it. What is this, some kind of medieval conference room?

I can see that you are wondering about this rooms scarce dcor, so allow me to explain. This room and all the other room here on the first floor are used as private spaces for the purpose of discussion and negotiation.

Is that so?

The broker turned his back to me and walked to one of the chairs and sat on it.

Is. . . . . . . is this guy trying to recruit me to join the Sex Maniacs Guild? And more importantly, such a Guild legitimately exists here in this world?!

To be honest, that proposition of his made me feel nervous and a little bit lost.Then in that again, I guess that if it is a common knowledge that Humans in this world have something like Sex Maniac as their race-specific Job, then it would be not that hard to guess that someone who has come to the Guild together with two exceptionally beautiful girls, then he must be someone who already managed to unlock that Job for themselves, so I guess that takes care of the question of how did he figured out that I might be a Sex Maniac as well. . . . . . . . . . . . . but to invite me to join his Guild simply because of that? Something smells fishy here, and I have to get to know what and why.

Your Guild? You mean, like. . . . . . . . Sex Maniacs Guild?

Let me start with a simple, seemingly innocent question.

Oh, so you know the name of the Job already. Could it be that I am actually talking to a comrade with the same Job that I have?

The broker leaned back against his chair and smiled with delight while gazing up to the heavens. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . which looked quite strange because here in this room, it made him look as if he was looking at the ceiling.

This whole situation is strange as fuck, but it might also be a good opportunity. If I steer the conversation in the right direction, I might just be able to learn something new about the Sex Maniac Job and how its Skills work.

No. I am afraid that have not obtained that Job yet, but I did hear some stories about it that managed to pique my interest.

Oh? Stories, you say? Like what, for example? Maybe I will be able to shed the light on some of the matters that you are interested in, so if you do have any questions, feel free to ask them, and I shall try to answer them to the best of my ability.

So as long as I have questions about the Sex Maniac Job, he is willing to feed me the information himself? Not gonna lie, that is actually a pretty sweet deal.

Since you offered yourself, then I am graciously going to take you up on that offer. So I heard that Sex Maniac Job has a Skill calledAbstinence Attack. Can you tell me something more about it? How exactly does it work and is it even a useful Skill?

You know that much already?
