Leon's POV
Pleasure City isn't just about adult indulgences like buying services from prostitutes or having one-night stands; it's also a place for children to have fun. But why mix adult and children's fun, you might ask? Well, Pleasure City is divided into three districts: the red light district, the entertainment district, and the cultural district. We were headed to the cultural district to visit Lala Land.
Elise and I strolled together through the streets of the cultural district, her arm wrapped around mine, her breasts pressing against my arm. She was dressed more casually today, opting out of her usual leather suit. It would've been a spectacle if she'd kept it on, drawing the attention of every man in sight. But I didn't want anyone else leering at her, ogling her cleavage and navel.
Even though she wasn't showing much more than that, I wanted those sights reserved for me alone. Period.
When I voiced my concerns to Elise, she smiled at me, giving me a tight hug and promising never to show her cleavage or navel to anyone but me.
Even though she's my sister, I'm still pretty possessive. Life sure works in mysterious ways.
After walking for a bit, we stumbled upon a shop and stopped in front of it. They were selling... cakes. It was the first time I'd seen cake in this world. Huh, so had Amon finally expanded into another business? Seemed likely.
And when I looked up at the shop's name, my assumption was spot on—it was indeed Leonamon.
We stepped inside and found the shop to be impeccably clean. A woman stood behind the cashier, her smile warm and her eyes closed. I got the sense that she was a bit slow. I recognized her from somewhere—she was one of the ex-prostitutes in training, one of the women I'd bought from Martha.
I checked her domination requirements.

Amy, huh? Who was she again? Ah, right, Amy. She's the one with the skill Combine Magic. It's a pretty neat skill that lets you blend two other magic together, though you can't mix opposites like fire and water. But if you combine fire and wind, you might get something cool like a boosted fireball.
Well, in any case, I couldn't deny that she was really attractive to me, even though she's my sister.

Irene's POV
Waking up this morning was a total pain because of the raging hangover pounding in my head.
"I need... a coffee..." I muttered to myself, my hand resting on my throbbing head.
Just then, there was a knock on my door. "Ugh..." I groaned, dragging myself towards the door with my head still pounding.
I swung the door open and found a woman with a mane of green hair standing there.
"Brightspear," she greeted me. "Looks like you had a good time last night. And you still smell like it too."
I took a whiff of my own breath and grimaced. I still reeked of alcohol. And to top it off, I hadn't even showered yet.
"What do you want, Professor Rose?" I asked.
"We've received information that a student from our academy is engaging in activities they shouldn't be," she said. "No point beating around the bush. This particular student is working as a bounty hunter."
"Oh, really? Well, good luck with that," I replied, moving to close the door. Professor Rose quickly placed her arm to stop me from shutting it completely.
"You're going to help me with this case, Brightspear," she asserted firmly.
"Why? Isn't this supposed to be the job of those in administration?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"You're in, Brightspear. The administration specifically requested your involvement. It seems your rising status as a professor has caught their attention," she explained.
"So, just because I'm good at my job, the administration is keeping an eye on me?" I questioned incredulously. "Who is this student, anyway?"
Professor Rose opened a folder she had with her, revealing a photo of a young man with golden hair and piercing blue eyes. My eyes widened in shock.
"Prince Julius?" I exclaimed. "Is this for real? Why would he be involved in bounty hunting? Doesn't he realize that it's forbidden by Milham law?"
"Who knows? Maybe he had a falling out with the King and decided to rebel by taking up bounty hunting," Professor Rose suggested.
Bounty hunting was outlawed in our country by the decree of the King himself. His rationale was to ensure that our nation didn't become a haven for villains and vigilantes, unlike the neighboring Republic of Shaira, where such activities were rampant. The King aimed to foster a society of upstanding citizens.
However, I suspected there was more to the story. Rumor had it that the King's decision stemmed from a personal experience during a visit to the Republic. Witnessing the brutality and lawlessness there likely shook him to the core, prompting him to take swift action to prevent such chaos from infiltrating our own borders.
Regardless, one thing was clear: Prince Julius's involvement in such activities was highly concerning.
