Chapter 656: Summer Spirit Festival 14
Night.
“Hee. You’re going to Cosmos Main Store”
“They say it’s amazing over there. There are lots of brothels around the area, but my father says there’s nowhere else where the culture has taken such deep root”
Cima and Lukino tell me as they serve the food.
“The culture has taken root……?”
“I don’t know how to explain it……but it’s like a different country over there”
“Cosmos-san herself seems to say things like 『We’re just doing our best as a brothel』, but did you know that there’s a family that’s lived there for generations, with parents and children spreading their legs and the grandmother doing the cleaning and laundry and looking after the illegitimate children……?”
“Ah, I had a match with that girl today”
“Ah, you met them. ……Well, the amazing thing about that family is that they don’t have any debts or anything like that and they all do it because they like it. The grandmother, the daughter and everyone else have no intention of leaving the brothel in the future”
“They’ve got all the facilities there so that they can live like that and it seems that a society of prostitutes has been created. There are also apparently several good magic doctors and prostitutes, though not as many as Hilda-san”
“Magic doctors and prostitutes……so magic doctors are also prostitutes?”
Even though there is a case of someone called Hilda who 「Does all kinds of erotic things while examining patients」, originally, a magic doctor should be able to earn enough money just from that.
“They’re all 『Prostitutes with other jobs』. The cooks and waiters at the bar in front of the brothel, the shop assistants at the nearby clothes shop, they’re all prostitutes at the main building on some days. Even the girls who go to work there normally end up getting corrupted and becoming prostitutes”
“Eh, that’s scary. I wonder if it’s really okay to send my female slaves there for three days. At that point, Miss Mira, who had just pushed the last cart out of the kitchen, joined the conversation.
“It seems that if you just go there for a quick visit, it’s just a weirdly fun brothel. There are apparently about 20 ordinances that were decided behind the scenes by Miss Cosmos just for that place……”
“Is that even possible……?”
“She seems like a quiet celebrity. ……I guess you could say it’s amazing that she uses all that power just for sex……”
“I heard about that from my father earlier. We were just Hilda-onee-san’s friends, and we only knew that she was my father’s favorite prostitute”
“The content of the secret regulations we were told about were all things that didn’t affect our lives. Like, 『Consensual outdoor sexual acts within a 50-meter radius of a brothel are not subject to punishment』 or 『Tax payments for sex industry workers and their children in Talc shall be limited to fixed tax payments by authorized facility representatives』”
“Ah, that’s a bit sneaky”
“It’s a relief measure for prostitutes, most of whom start out in the business because they’re short of money. It’s also a measure to deal with prostitutes who are reluctant to apply for their children’s birth certificates”
“Ah……I see. Because if you apply for a child’s birth certificate, you have to pay extra tax……”
It seems that many children born in brothels end up as stateless drifters. Of course, the parents are not in a position to say openly that the child is their heir, and if they were to register the child, they would have to pay more tax, so they are forced to treat the child as if they didn’t exist. If they can grow up without being sold to reduce the mouths to feed and become drifters, that’s still better……that’s the rumor I heard to sum it up, but if there is a bylaw proposed by Cosmos, aside from the feelings of the prostitutes themselves, there is no longer a reason to ignore the existence of the children in the system.
“Well, even so, they say they’re tightening up on licenses for sex industry businesses because they don’t want them to be used as a way to evade taxes. And if you stop being a prostitute, that changes the story……if you don’t continue being a prostitute until the child is grown up, you’ll still have to pay taxes”
“Ah……so that’s what they mean by 『Ordinances for Cosmos Main Store』”
The nerve to have children with customers, to open a daycare center in the brothel with no qualms and to raise them there. Most brothels probably don’t have that kind of nerve. But unless you go that far, you can’t make the most of this ordinance.
“That person is amazing, after all……”
“Well, that’s fine”
The food had finished being served by the time we were talking. And it seems that the training at the brothel is continuing even after dark, so Anzeros and the others have not yet returned. Since Emma, who is a dragon, is also accompanying them, I don’t think they will all be turned into full-time prostitutes. And at the same table are Nord and Hilda, as well as Irina, Fennel, Laila and Maia, who have just returned.
“Cima sure does make flashy dishes, doesn’t she?”
Hilda looks at the dish with a tilted head from side to side and is amazed. The dish was like a large flower. The outside was decorated with dark green, light green, purple and red leafy vegetables and the inner petals, which were made from thinly rolled out flour or rice flour, were curled up like a rose in full bloom. The gaps are filled with a rich filling that seems to be minced meat or fish, and inside the smallest coconut halves, there is fruit arranged in a flower shape. The various colors appeal to the eye in a gradation and it was a dish with a level of elaboration that was unlike Celesta.
“Well, before I made it, I was thinking I’d just make a regular meat pie. But then I laid out the ingredients in a certain way and it just came to me”
“I can guarantee the taste, too. It’s a little hard to eat, though”
“I don’t think she ever thinks about that when she’s making her creative dishes”
It seems that when it comes to cooking, the busty Cima-san becomes the leader. Normally, the calmest of the three, Mira-san, seems to be the leader, so I always thought that was how it was. It seems that there is no one person who is the absolute leader. While thinking this, I pull one of the flower petals, which looks like a thin slice of bread, out with my hand. It is covered in minced meat and a delicious-smelling sauce.
“Well then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll eat it”
I take a big bite. ……Oh!
“Wow……these flower petals are delicious!”
“I know, right?”
Cima-san looks proud of herself. It must have been hard to prepare enough for everyone, but she doesn’t look tired at all, which is reassuring. As for the food, the petals are made in a way that combines sweetness, savouriness and a slight saltiness in a soft dough and the strong juice and sauce really go well with it. I also tried taking some of the leaves at the bottom of the bun and rolling them up to eat them. When I did this, Cima-san said, 「Ah, that’s a good idea」 and gave me a thumbs-up.
“If you just pulled it out like that, you’d end up spilling a lot of the minced meat. I was thinking that you could scoop up the remaining soup with a separate piece of bread and eat it that way”
“You really don’t think about how to eat your food, do you!?”
“It’s delicious no matter how you eat it. That’s my cooking”
Cima-san says this with a strange pose. That said, there is certainly something to be said for it.
“There’s also soup and meuniere”
“Meuniere……you’re using fish here too, right?”
“I made the meuniere because I had some left over from the other dish. It’s delicious, because it’s made by Cima too”
Lukino-san brings out the plates.
“What do you mean, it’s delicious? The meuniere isn’t hard to eat”
“It’s clear that you put more effort into making that one and the seasoning on this one was just random, right?”
“Say you’re used to it”
I cut the meuniere with a knife and eat it with a fork. It’s certainly delicious enough. There’s no surprise though.
“Hmm. Delicate and bold, the colors and freshness are as you’d expect of a tropical atmosphere. What, eating with your hands is also a nice thing”
“Irina-sama, there’s sauce all over your chest. Oh dear”
“Muu. I should have used some magic to avoid getting dirty”
“There is magic to remove dirt, but……above all, there is no dignity when you get your mouth all dirty like that”
Fennel’s careful consideration doesn’t go as far as saying that the child is a child. It would be terrible if Irina got a tantrum at mealtime.
“Hoho. It’s fine. Rough meals are also the dragon’s forte”
“Yeah. You were just chewing on a sandworm raw”
The two dragons didn’t seem to have any particular complaints about the mysterious food they were eating so wildly.
——————————
“So, what are you going to do after you’ve eaten, little brother?”
After they had finished their meal, including dessert and it was time to say thank you for the meal, Nord-sam started talking.
“After we’ve eaten……”
“The night has only just begun, hasn’t it? Besides, I think Mira and the others are expecting a little something in return, aren’t they?”
Nord-san gives the three sisters a sidelong glance. Miss Mira looks away, slightly embarrassed, Miss Cima reacts with a jerk of her shoulders and Miss Lukino turns her face to Nord-san, trying to say something, her mouth opening and closing. The three of them react in different ways.
“Even if you say thank you……there’s not much I can give back”
“With the way this conversation is going, you can’t be thinking of returning the favor with money or a present, little brother”
“Eh?”
“What is it that you can do for a woman that she would be most happy about?”
“Ah, no, that kind of thing……I don’t really push myself on people to begin with”
“You know, do you know how much you’re talked about in our family of a hundred people? What do you think the rumors are? ……There’s no way you’re going to be that kind of person who’s trying to get along with me on their own, and then not be there for me”
“……Am I being treated like I’m going to get pregnant if I touch you?”
It’s already becoming established in Polka, but there’s no reason for you to be treated like that even in Talc. Because, you know, he’s already had two or three daughters, but even Minister Ashton is supposed to have ten wives. Generally speaking, Celesta, where polygamy is allowed, it’s not that insane. As for the matter of being a female slave, well, it’s like that kind of play. ……As ever, the word is different from the reality.
“At the very least, it’s true that the fastidious girl has a reputation that you can’t approach carelessly. …….Because, the person you’re controlling with a leash is Hilda-onee-san, right?”
“Ah, Ah……”
The fact that Hilda-san is so happy is proof of her sexual prowess above all else for the Onyx clan. That’s right.
“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to thank all three of them, or are you going to leave it until the Spirit Festival and play with me? I know I’m saying it myself, but I think you should enjoy it to your heart’s content because the timing for playing with me is rare”
Nord-san says in a voice that sounds a little like she’s pouting. The three sisters look a little dissatisfied when they hear this. Wait, is she actually planning to do something erotic with me?
“I’m a virgin of a hundred years☆ The three of them are always like this, so unless you’re someone like Andy-kun who can handle them all at once, Mira and the others won’t be able to go with the flow. You have to understand that”
“Even if you keep giving us commentary from the sidelines like that……emm”
I suddenly find myself becoming aware of them. I was just thinking that they seemed like a kind family, but it turns out that they’re actually okay with sex. ……Well, if it’s just for one night, then I wouldn’t mind. No, maybe I’ll start to feel possessive towards them eventually, but now that I’ve heard so much about the chastity of these Talcs, I don’t think they’re just mindless children, so I don’t think I need to think about it so seriously……. No. But.
“Well, that is……”
“What? Are you still worried about the female slaves at the brothel?”
“Emm……actually, Miss Cosmos has challenged me to a contest, so I’ve been told to abstain until the Spirit Festival”
“Abstain”
“……Ho, Owner is going to be abstinent?”
Nord looks confused and Laila looks doubtful, as if to say, this is strange. Irina, who has had her dirty jacket removed and is now bare-chested, crosses her arms and sniffs.
“It doesn’t suit you”
“No, it’s not a matter of whether it suits me or not”
“To begin with, men sometimes feel pain when they have sex, so they make sure to store up their energy to ensure they get pleasure. But Smithson-dono is a man who, when he has a woman, enjoys himself as much as time allows and he is a man of unquenchable desire. That is why women, too, can reveal their own desires without fear of shame and jump in”
“If you think that they’ll say things like I’m not in the mood or it’s too much trouble, you can’t be honest, can you?”
Irina and Fennel interpret my extraordinary lecherous nature in their own way. But that aside, I don’t think there’s anything that suits or doesn’t suit abstinence. Or rather, I think it’s fine to stop doing erotic things for just three days, right? I’ve had plenty of time to rest my dick in the past, whether it was because there was no erotic timing or because it wasn’t the right time to do it with Kalwin.
“Besides, it’s a shame to keep Andy-sama’s semen inside your dick when you have plenty of time and women”
“No, Maia, that line of thinking is wrong”
What exactly is she getting so worked up about? In the first place, I think it would be very sad if you were to give a story to my semen, which is destined to reflux most of its contents even if it is ejaculated into a girl. Hilda-san slowly opens her mouth to gently explain to me, who is confused.
“Andy-kun. There’s a saying in the medical world that goes”
“Please go on”
“Patience is poison for the body☆”
“Well, if there’s a naked woman in front of you, then it might be true that it’s poison. But it’s just a matter of taking a break from your dick for three days, right? Please don’t take your clothes off. Irina, don’t take your clothes off. Laila, when did you take your clothes off?”
“Hohoho, this is poison for the body”
“No, I’m going to enjoy the hard work of Anzeros and the hospitality of Cosmos to the fullest. Everyone, just put your clothes back on! I’m going to hold out until the Spirit Festival! I’m a good boy who keeps his promises!”
I thought that was the way it was going to go, but Laila, Maia, Irina, Hilda, Fennel, Nord and even Miss Cima started to loosen their clothes, so I hurriedly gave the order to stop them. Miss Mira and Miss Lukino seemed to be hesitating, but they didn’t actually take their clothes off.
“It won’t make any difference whether it’s two days or three. I think that if you play around tonight, Smithson-dono, who fucks dozens of times every day, won’t find out”
“Let’s just enjoy the Spirit Festival!”
I try to persuade Irina. Actually, her slender topless body is a little arousing. Please put something on soon.
