The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Chapter 86: Heading to Pleasure Quarter.

Lunoire took only half an hour to bring back the target, a Level 1 thief leader whose main business was smuggling, with young children from outside Orario as his primary commodity.

However, the subsequent interrogation was not the forte of the [Bounty Hunter], who was better at direct physical action, but rather the stage for the [Assassin].

His thief gang encountered Haruhime in the wilderness, nearly eaten by a monster ogre. Although they initially planned to enjoy her themselves, upon learning that Haruhime was still a virgin, they suppressed their desires for greater profit and sold her to Orario.

Initially, Aisha wanted to take care of the girl, so she pleaded with the goddess Ishtar to grant Haruhime [God's Grace]—as long as she officially joined the Ishtar Familia, no one would dare bully her again.

Ironically, Aisha gained Ishtar's favor precisely by offering Haruhime, rising through the ranks of the Familia ever since. Now, to save Haruhime, she chose to betray the Ishtar Familia.

Generally speaking, how to deal with one's own members is an internal matter for each Familia, and interfering with the internal affairs of other Familias is an unjustified act.

Aisha raised her head, looking at the vast sky in silence for a long time.

"It's getting dark, Wei Gong-jun, please come with me."

Various parts of the labyrinth city—the adventurer district thriving around the Guild headquarters, the industrial area where the sounds of clanging iron overlapped, and the entertainment district centered on the grand theater and casinos, where thunderous applause and cheers echoed all around.

Men and women seeking pleasure sometimes shouted excitedly, sometimes whispered intimately. The swaying lamplight vaguely reflected the intertwined silhouettes on the windows or walls.

This was the Pleasure Quarter, where people's desires sank.

"To come to this kind of place on the orders of the Goddess of Justice, it's a really subtle feeling."

Aisha asked.

Wei Gong said, "It's indeed my first time."

Aisha: "Is that so? It's also my first time... my first time offering free hospitality to a guest."

Aisha turned her face, looking at Wei Gong.

"You don't seem like a man who's come to the Pleasure Quarter for the first time..."

"No, that's not what I meant. You don't seem like someone who's come to the Pleasure Quarter for the first time, but you also don't seem like someone who's been here before."

Looking at the shadow under Wei Gong's cloak and hood, Aisha couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

They were currently located in the city's fourth district, towards the southeast avenue.

This place was completely different from the adjacent entertainment district, exuding a lascivious atmosphere.

The women, mainly Amazons, but also including humans, beastmen, and even dwarves, called out to the men walking on the street, revealing seductive or teasing smiles. The women exchanged a few words with the men, who squinted their eyes, and then led them into their respective shops, holding hands or embracing their waists.

Wei Gong completely ignored them, and the women didn't come up to flirt—with [Lije] by his side, how could they, with their ordinary appearances, be noticed?

Brothels of various styles from around the world unfolded before their eyes, the street scene filled with exotic foreign customs.

Soon, they arrived at an intersection. On one side of the road was a pleasure quarter with an exotic atmosphere rarely seen in Orario.

Modeled after island country architecture, the red pillars and red walls of each red building were splendid and dazzling, attracting the viewer's attention. Above the roofs and gates, "tiles," a building material rarely seen in Orario, were used.

In addition to magic stone lamps, bright red lanterns hung everywhere, and young men and women came and went under the lights. The women here all wore [kimonos], and most of the men who were guests also put on [haori].

"It's as if crossing this torii gate leads to a phantom magic realm far from the mortal world."

Wei Gong couldn't help but think as he walked through the torii gate.

This environment made Wei Gong feel a little irritable. He reached out and pressed his temples, suppressing the inexplicable violent emotions in his heart.

"Having only strength is useless. He's too boring. I don't like that kind of gentle type."

"Aisha-jie, who is that?"

"He's... an important guest..."

Aisha hesitated for a moment, saying, "I'll entertain him. You guys go back to work..."

"So it's a man that Aisha-jie wants to monopolize? Makes me a little curious—"

Wei Gong grabbed her arm.

The Amazon girl was startled: "An adventurer? So fast! I'm Level 2, but I couldn't even react to his movements..."

The Amazon girl had a momentary illusion—a cold longsword slashed down, pinning her to the desolate earth.

"Yes, yes..."

The Amazon girls made way, and Wei Gong walked straight through, Aisha helplessly supporting her forehead.

The Amazon girl who had met Wei Gong's eyes went weak in the legs and knelt on the spot.

"So strong, so fierce... I, I'm already wet..."

Aisha's voice was a little flustered.

"He confessed, meow~" Chloe's tone was light: "This lady's skills haven't diminished over the years."

Because he was a bit foul-mouthed when Lunoa came to his door, 【Black Fist】 was particularly ruthless, exceeding the task assigned by Mia's boss to break all four limbs.

Under Lunoa's "Greater Memory Restoration Technique," this thief leader not only recalled his transactions with many brothels and casinos in Orario but also miraculously remembered the details of how he found Haruhime.

Originally, Haruhime had been bought by an ordinary brothel, but 【Lijie】 Aisha happened to be inspecting the pleasure quarter that day and, finding Haruhime to be very young and with a pitiful look in her eyes, beat up the brothel owner and forcibly took Haruhime away.

Unexpectedly, Haruhime awakened the magic 【Uchide's Hammer】, and Aisha's initial kindness brought disaster to Haruhime.

"Send this thief to the Ganesha Familia and hand him over to Shakti for imprisonment."

Asteria said, "The information he provided is very useful."

Haruhime was bought by the Ishtar Familia through illegal means—once this was confirmed, the Ishtar Familia's "ownership" of Haruhime became shaky.

But if there are problems with the procedure by which a Familia acquires a member, that's a different matter.

Night.

Under the dark embrace and the high-hanging crescent moon, the dungeon city overflowed with the light of countless magic stone lamps.

Receiving the grace of the dungeon, the city thrived as ever today, with the clamor of the crowds never ceasing.

Between the parallel buildings, the sounds of various pleasures mixed with panting could be faintly heard.

Countless brothels turned all desires into money.

The "pleasure quarter," different in nature from any other part of the city, was dimly lit, as if isolated from other roads or districts, filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Wei Gong couldn't help but think.

"【Sword King】, is this your first time in the pleasure quarter?"

"Just call me by my name, Aisha-senpai."

"Is that so? Then I'm truly honored."

Wei Gong chuckled.

"...But, it certainly doesn't seem like it."

Wei Gong: "Doesn't seem like what?"

Aisha.

Wei Gong: "Aisha-senpai, please don't sully my innocence..."

Aisha: "You don't seem like you're here for pleasure..."

"...More like you're here to kill someone."

Even though she was Lv.3 and he was only a newly promoted Lv.2, she faintly felt a sense of fear—the Amazon's battle instinct was reminding Aisha that the man before her was extremely dangerous.

Peach-colored magic stone lamps were installed on the walls or pillars of the buildings, and the few dim streetlights illuminated billboards shaped like bright red lips or fresh fruit, as well as women whose dresses revealed their beautiful backs and slender waists—enticing men.

Faintly visible full breasts, delicate shoulders, and thighs swayed everywhere. A sweet fragrance wafted from somewhere, perhaps perfume or their faint, fragrant sweat.

On the wide street where prostitutes in various costumes came and went, architectural designs from the East or desert regions, unseen near Orario, were clustered together. There were Western-style buildings with open-air upper floors, as well as heavy houses built of stone, reminiscent of the cold North.

Large rooms facing the street with railings were filled with many prostitutes. Beautiful women called out to passersby or smiled charmingly and waved.

Wei Gong unexpectedly encountered an acquaintance here.

Chapter 87: The Amazon's Weakness.

The road paved with smooth stone slabs split before them, with the 【Far East District】 in the style of the Far East on the right and the 【Western District】 in the style of the Ocean Country on the left.

The dungeon adventure with Raul, Lefiya, and others was only two months ago. Wei Gong still remembered 【Ordinary Man】 Raul's wish to save money to buy magic books and learn magic to get rid of the title of "super ordinary man."

"【Far East District】 or 【Western District】, which should we choose today?"

"Let's go with the 【Western District】. To be honest, I don't understand the shamisen, kabuki, or tea ceremony of the 【Far East District】 at all. The striptease of the 【Western District】 is more interesting."

The adventurers argued over the direction of exploration, and in the end, their opinions were three to three, leaving only Raul still thinking.

"【Western District】, you're the one—as adventurers, we must dare to challenge the unknown. Our goal: the new girls at 'Poseidon's Mansion'! Advance!"

"They're all adventurers from large Familias like the Loki Familia. They're famous suckers... I mean, patrons in our pleasure quarter."

First, he saw vermilion torii gates resembling large doors, and further ahead, foreign-style buildings filled both sides of the road.

The entire area within sight was filled with buildings of the same style—Far Eastern-style brothels called 【Yukaku】.

In the center of the wide road or along the roadside, pale cherry trees found on a certain floor of the dungeon were planted. These labyrinth trees from the dungeon bloomed with beautiful flowers regardless of the season, scattering pale blue petals on the stone pavement.

The fluttering cherry blossoms and the newly lit lanterns created an exotic atmosphere rarely seen by Orario's adventurers, but it gave Wei Gong, who had memories of his previous life, a special sense of reality.

"However, for some people, this should be considered 'heaven'."

"There aren't any good men today."

"Isn't 【Ordinary Man】 here? Lv.4 strength should be enough to satisfy you, right?"

"It smells like a young man."

A group of beautiful and lively women walked towards Wei Gong and Aisha. They were all of the same race (Amazons), and of course, they wore the same clothes as Aisha, or even more revealing.

An Amazon girl enthusiastically stepped forward. She reached out, seemingly wanting to help Wei Gong tidy up his cloak and hood.

She looked up, meeting Wei Gong's gaze.

The young man's amber eyes shone with a gilded color under the light of the lanterns, like molten gold flowing in his pupils, hot and suppressed, cold and fierce.

Wei Gong suppressed his voice, his tone polite: "No need, thank you."

"Scatter, scatter."

She drove away the girls and then caught up with Wei Gong.

Thump—

"Oh... oh hoo..."

She made a silly-sounding noise.

"You, you can't treat us (Amazons) like that, it'll cause big problems."
