Chapter 863: Visits from the Prostitutes 12
The day after returning from the Holy Beast Labyrinth. I’m finally feeling better. When I woke up, I still felt a bit sluggish, but after a dip in the secret hot spring, that foggy feeling in my head vanished completely. Long live the sacred spring!
“Ah……feels so good……”
Still, there’s a strange pleasure in feeling accumulated fatigue and discomfort recover with a gurgling sensation. It’s a different kind of comfort from the pleasure of sex. I wonder if people with high physical abilities look forward to this kind of sensation, I thought. Floating in this old-man-like pleasure, a voice whispered from the side.
“Doesn’t your dick want to feel good too?”
“……I got too much yesterday and I’m tired, so I’m just soaking in the joy of recovery. Could you wait a bit longer?”
“How long? Like five minutes?”
“No, you should wait about an hour, seriously”
Floating in the water with my arms spread wide, I looked over to see Corti sitting naked on the edge of the tub, grinning.
“Seriously, are you that desperate……?”
“Gotta kill time somehow. If you don’t have any plans for your dick right now, why not just stick it in? You can go as many times as you want while soaking in this bath, right?”
“……No, I did some follow-up after returning from Celesta……I planned to check on things right after recovering”
“Then why not assign districts among the female slaves and have them report on Polka’s current situation regularly? Nobles do it that way, right?”
“……That’s a bit over the top. Besides, I don’t plan to go out that often, so I’m not willing to go that far”
“You should make them. Everyone will definitely be happier if you use the free time to fuck them”
“……Are you actually wanting that kind of role?”
“…………Well, it is a job that doesn’t require using my dragon violence……I could accept it for you?”
Such a roundabout guy.
“Alright. Then you’ll be……the one to report anything you notice around this secret hot spring and the forest entrance”
“Too cramped. Wouldn’t a bit more space be better? I’d prefer to be the Ice Dragon Nami”
“For Polka’s internal affairs, it seems better to ask the working girls than to eavesdrop”
“Hey……calling it eavesdropping is quite something, isn’t it?”
Even so, long-distance listening relying on super-senses is no different from eavesdropping. ……That said, those three with the black collars do look bored. I appointed them as the Erotic Division, but it’s obvious that kind of work is nothing for their superhuman stamina. Still, since they’re officially refusing to obey as dragons, I can’t exactly make them work too openly.
“……So where are we assigned?”
“If possible, we’d appreciate being given a task……”
Sure enough, Shario and Leyla approached too.
“H, Hold on. Actually, you three cover this area”
I regretted appointing Corti so casually, but managed to gloss over it. Soon after, two dragons appeared out of nowhere overhead, flapping their wings, transformed into human form, and splashed down into the bath.
“Uwaa!”
“Excuse us. ……Where should we be assigned?”
“We take pride in having patrolled this area ourselves……if it’s a duty, let us handle it”
It was the blue dragons, Airi and Michela.
“I suggested it first, didn’t I? Or rather, why not just patrol as you always have? I’ll just be the one reporting”
I soothed Corti, who was pouting, and sighed. If it were anyone else, I’d just let them fight it out, but I don’t want sparks flying between dragons. In the end, to cover it up, I declare.
“That discussion is over. Now, line up and stick out your boobs! Since we’ve got such a great lineup, let me compare how they feel!”
“……♪”
“Seriously……you think you can just brush it off like that?”
“No objections. You lot have no veto over perverted activities!”
While kneading Corti’s breasts, I glare around at everyone. The Corti group, who were originally relaxing in the hot springs, and the naked tribe’s Airi group are all, of course, fully prepared for this all-out nudity festival. Quite the sight. ……Wait. Again, I suddenly notice, blending into the background, a petite elf with bangs standing quietly in the changing room.
“!!”
I flinched. What the hell? Everyone’s gaze followed mine, and they all looked a little startled.
“Since when were you……there!?”
“Eh? What’s with this kid……w, was she here!?”
Even the dragons hadn’t noticed her……isn’t she already more impressive than Special Duty Commander Becker?
“E, Emm, well……s, sorry!”
And Charlotte, now the center of attention, scrambled away in a panic. Without a sound. ……Come on, at least make some noise.
“W, Who? Seriously, who is she?”
“……She says her name is Charlotte, the great-granddaughter of the Blue Clan Chief of the Forest……or so it seems”
“Why is she here……?”
“I have no idea……”
I really still don’t know anything. And the impression of 「Stealth skills far scarier than glowing eyes」 just keeps growing stronger. The reason she was treated like a hot potato? That’s definitely the stronger reason.
——————–
Leaving the Secret Hot Springs, I return to Polka’s city center. Then, to the Celesta Group’s hideout, 「Leslie House」, which should now be run by Cima-san. I wonder how the other prostitutes who visited here besides Isabel-san are doing. I really hope they weren’t suddenly causing a huge ruckus with some old men around here…… Since Dianne-san said she’d handle the arrangements, and Hilda-san and Nord-san are here too, I want to believe they haven’t suddenly earned the resentment of the town’s ladies. ……Indeed, a social gathering for those older women and the prostitutes was underway at Leslie House.
“Well, well, Andy. I hear you’ve been making waves with Celesta?”
The first to greet me cheerfully was Aunt Lindsey.
“……What the hell is this?”
“Just to say hello, you know? Cosmos-san’s deputy? She’s serving up Celesta cuisine for us ladies”
“……For us ladies?”
“The men just want booze, booze, booze, and don’t care about the food’s taste. Plus, there are lots of unfamiliar alien races here in Trot, and they’ll need looking after. So, it’s like, 「Let’s get along well for a while from now on」, you see”
“……I, I see”
Isabel, who’s been Cosmos’s assistant all this time, is truly free-spirited. So she took the initiative to lay the groundwork first. Thinking that, I looked around and spotted that transferred prostitute, Kathy, in the corner of the room. Our eyes met.
“Good work. Nothing happened while we were in the forest?”
“……One of our girls kinda messed up……”
“Eh……”
She’d messed up.
“Well, it can’t be helped. ……Apparently, using Talc’s Oasis Theory, she snuck into the men’s bath and, caught up in the moment, gave a married guy a little solo session. ……You know how that kind of thing reduces sperm count and gets noticed. To beat the nasty looks coming our way, I’m taking the initiative to cover it up with this”
“……Guess stuff like this happens when Cosmos-san and Isabel-san aren’t around”
“It’s inevitable, you know? If this were Celesta, it might be different, but some kids just don’t grasp that in a strict place like Trot, it’s not something you can brush off as a joke. Next time we bring someone here from Talc, we might need to give them a thorough lecture on that before they come”
“……Cathy-san always seems to be the one who worries about these things. Even though she looks so flashy”
“……It’s a real pain in the ass, isn’t it?”
Cathy-san let out a sigh that sounded utterly exhausted. Probably because she’d ended up becoming the unofficial organizer while Isabel-san was away, and it had given her quite a scare.
“Want some sake? I’ll pour you some”
“……Thanks”
We really need to set clear rules before taking the next step. Yeah.
