The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

City, First Night 4

Walk the brothel with Mr. Reese, whose mental recovery has been slight.

Reese's face is still red, but it would be kindness to pretend not to notice.

Well... and. I look back.

The Titans are still following us like trackers, so we need to spread them out.

How long will they be behind us? Go away.

No way. You're gonna see it through until we get into the store?

I don't know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna get suspicious again if I just walk like this all the time.

"That's why I'm going to go into the right store..."

"What do you mean? It doesn't matter."

Don't look so scared.

You have a wrinkle between your eyebrows and a pretty girl ruined it.

"No, that's right. I'm going to choose the healthiest store I can."

"So... oh, no, wait"

I'll think about it in my proposal, Mr. Reese.

"Yeah... okay, let's go into the store once"

"Huh! Seriously? Are you sure about this?

Change your attitude, Mr. Reese.

Say it yourself. What, half of it was a joke.

I didn't expect an okay.

I don't care what happens at the earliest, are you screwed?

"But I'll decide the store, okay?

"Oh, oh... well, I don't mind."

She offered some terms, but naturally.

Leese keeps the store in order as she walks.

Ya, yeah, I'm getting a little nervous.

Relax. I'm Leese's choice.

You won't be choosing a store that radical.

Cabbage at best, or so it should be.

Leese's leg stopped for a little while. Apparently, I found a store I care about.

Wooden bungalow building with stairs visible from the street.

Looks like it's connected to a store in the basement.

"All right, let's do it here!

"Oh, wow."

I see, because the size of a giant makes the underground space small, you can't go in there.

The sign in front of the building posted a piece of paper with the magical seal of the Demon King Corru pressed on it.

Below the sign is written the details of the services provided by the store….

"... huh?

And, shit.

The contents of the store were too unexpected and an unexpected strange voice appeared.

The store Leese chose was written as a touching ant such as a chest.

There is no production... but a shop with a body touch.

A store that was allowed to drink alcohol and have a conversation with a girl while still touching Betta.

A place that provides a service that feels a little radical about cabbage, such as sexcabbage.

Oh, come on, even if you choose, isn't it a store that feels milder?

"Hey, wait a minute! Are you sure this is a good place?

"It's okay."

It was me who checked it out.

What is it, I don't feel lost at all.

How come you don't hesitate? Am I crazy?

"Ooh... hey, no, I wish you were, seriously, this is serious"

"Look, how long have you been standing... I'm just gonna go"

Grab my hand and Leese pulls.

"Hey, aren't you too manly?... How can you be so flat?

Leese hits me in the hand and goes down the stairs leading to the basement into the building.

You have a strange vibe of lamps swinging by the stairs in a dim space.

I can see the reception right down in the basement at the front.

At the reception, the guests' men were just accounting.

Sit in the provided chair until they are finished and wait softly.

After dropping off the customer, the clerk turns to us.

My expression stopped for just a moment when I saw what Reese looked like, but I'll be right back.

She was a little stunned by the fact that a woman came to the store.

"Welcome. That, our service is…"

"Yeah, I know... can't a woman?

"No, that's not true, though"

Leese answers prestigiously to the clerk who takes the confirmation just in case.

Mr. Reese, what's really going on? Broke?

Should I have been a little nicer to you on the road?

Sure, I don't even have the consciousness that I'm under a lot of stress.

"Excuse me, may I see some hands then?

"Go ahead."

Reese offers both hands to the clerk.

"The nails... uh, you're okay"

The employee's man carefully checks Reese's hand.

I'm checking Leese's identity, for example, if her nails are stretched.

So you're confirming that you can touch the lady at the store?

My skin would be scratched if I was brutally touched with unhygienic hands.

Safety management is important, I know.

But... wait, then I will.

"Uh, when you can take off your armor and keep it..."

……

Here's what's gonna happen.

The clerk tells me he's sorry if he can take off his gear and let me keep it.

Regardless of the normal restaurant, there is no way to keep a suspicious man in full plate mail in contact with these guests through the store without seeing his face.

"No, it's... it's a lot of things, I can't take it off."

"I'm sorry, then we'll have to refuse to enter the store..."

What are we gonna do?

I talk to Liese about an unexpected situation.

"Oh, hey, Reese."

"Hehe, you have no choice, let's get out. It's not a good idea to bother the store by saying you can't."

"Oh, my God... you mean that"

Reese's cheek under the hood is loose.

Yeah, well, that's not how it's supposed to be.

I thought it was weird from the start, how Leese was feeling was all over the place.

You were shy just walking down the road, and suddenly I thought it was odd because you were grand.

When I did think about it, I had no reason to force myself into the store.

I guess I walked into the store to get away temporarily from the giant's eyes.

That's enough if you've got a little time.

It serves its purpose and can be described as good as it turns out...... but what is this feeling?

(You Reese, you figured this out... you did it)

Yes, I cheated on you with Reese (?) I lost.

I probably didn't say this beforehand because I was going to retaliate a little earlier......

How dare you rub my heart?

You have no idea how I felt when I walked into this store, do you?

You've trampled my feelings even further, already dirty and filthy.

Not to be forgiven.

But you can't take off your armor and expose your face in a place like this.

In that case, the only way for me to get into the store is to get permission from the clerk to keep my armor on.

I'm a dangerous man with a sword on my back and full body armor.

It would be almost impossible to convince the clerk.

Still... still. Can I give up like this?

Can we just end up being fooled by Reese? Don't you regret it?

If you don't want to give in, think, think, is there any way to talk about the clerk?

I must be remarkably smart today.

Get back the way you cut through the giants' questions earlier!

Desperately think about how to persuade, mislead, and deceive the clerk.

And......

"Clerk, I want you to listen to me. Actually, this armor is cursed and I can't take it off."

"Curse......?

"Oh, oh, it's a curse. It's a vicious curse."

A clerk with an unexpected face.

Reese looks a little surprised.

No way, he didn't think I'd resist.

Look at what I'm talking about.

But I've been lying ever since I got here.

I'm just gonna hate this. Lies are bad when it comes to habits.

I lie a new lie to protect the lie, and yet another lie so that the lie cannot be called a lie.

That's how lies grow and chain.

Ultimately, I can't even figure out what lies I've told myself, and others expose me to inconsistencies.

Well, sometimes you need to lie, even if you know you are.

Anyway, we just have to keep pushing through.

"I'm still looking for ways to de-curse my protective gear while traveling, but I'm in trouble because the curse seems special and I can't find it inside, I'm moaning. I don't even hold a woman with this kind of armor on. I'm naturally wary of talking to women... then I've come to this store to at least enjoy communicating with women. I want someone to fill this big, empty hole in my heart. Oh, make up for it... I'll tell you that the woman in the next robe is under a lot of circumstances and doesn't fall into the category of women that are the subject of it."

"Ha ha..."

"Oh, that's why you have a lot of sympathy for me... I don't want that. I just want you to let me in the store if you can absorb any of my feelings. No, of course that's it, if you can't make it clear, it's not a rush to back off. I'm just saying that if you could welcome me as a guest, you wouldn't be happier than this, so even if you refused to let me in on this matter, the clerk's kindness is lacking, and I don't mean to be humane like that, there's no fine dust. But if you can still..."

"Yep..."

The clerk looks really confused.

Even if I'm in the opposite position, this is how I would react if such a nasty stinker came to the store.

You're too desperate.

Be careful in the brain. Enter the list of people in one shot.

Me putting my hands on the clerk's shoulder and talking with fury even though he hasn't even asked me.

Me and the clerk, we don't have half the temperature difference.

Still, even keep telling the clerk.

"You may be thinking right now that if I touched a woman with these steel hands, there would be no point in entering the store because it wouldn't convey warmth or anything... but that's not true. Even if it doesn't go directly to the body, it goes to my mind, you know?

"... no, the"

"Yes, even over metal, the warmth conveys… the kindness reaches the core. You know that, don't you? What I'm saying... Honestly, I have no idea, but you do, don't you?

"Ah... yeah,"

You're seriously losing track of what you're talking about yourself.

Sometimes when you lie, it's unusual to rap.

Still, once I'm a customer, the clerk listens to me.

Maybe I'm just too creepy to get out strong.

I think the customer service industry is tough.

Good thing the clerk keeps his mouth shut, slaps his feelings, his emotions all he can.

When you finally figure it out, trust me it will pass on...

"Anyway, that's why... please, please!

"I see... I understand the general circumstances"

"Whoa!"

Clerk smiling like he gave up.

Seriously! You really figured that out for me?

Yeah, still, if we don't give up, we'll clear the way.

It conveys enthusiasm, and even when we first met, we were able to understand.

"Thank you, thank you Ugh... nice to meet you"

I say thank you to him over and over again.

The clerk took my right hand gently, smiling.

This is a handshake that ties a deep bond between men.

"Then come here..."

"Oh!"

Me as the clerk takes me to another space.

My heart exalts every step I take.

If you continue walking the store clerk's guide, your sight opens and the light plugs into your eyes.

Yeah, I got there.

... at the exit of the store.

I knew I couldn't... Yeah, I knew it.

"Damn it! Don't forget this grudge."

"Wow, I'm sorry."

Walk to the exit of the sex district, complaining about bumping into Reese.

When I left the store, I didn't see the giants as expected.

Looks like he went somewhere else.

Well, that's good...... damn, I'm still in a mood for moaning.

I just want to clear this mindless next time I come.

I was hoping for it, but I felt like I had to keep it that way because it was dropped.

"Get in a good mood. Oh, I didn't think you'd resist so much."

"Ha... that's enough. We'll go get a drink when we're done helping Clive, that's about it."

"Wow, I get it."

Well, there are parts of each other, so we decided to forget our anger.

Now, as you change your mood, let's also have a little serious talk here.

I'm not just playing around.

I'll ask Reese.

"I walked most of the city, but have you seen anything strange about the city from Leese so far?

"Not the same as when I came before...... I guess. It looks normal. Looks like the population has grown a little."

It was five years ago that Reese came forward, not so long ago.

You said you stopped by when you were traveling alone out of the castle.

Exactly, I didn't seem to go over to the brothel.

"Just for a moment, I think there are more soldiers armed than before."

"But the air isn't tingling."

"Yes."

I feel vibrant from the way people walk in the city.

I don't have a giddy vibe that I feel before the battle starts or anything.

A lot of people break out of sharks when it's a pleasure zone, but it's not too insecure.

I frequently see soldiers patrolling so that I can respond immediately to incidents.

Well, it gets insecure behind the back alley, but places like that are something that can be made natural.

Reese said that the city will have regular inspections of Corulu and its subordinates, but it is impossible to cover the entire area, and based on that, we can see Corulu investing in policing.

Back to a little bit, the magic stamp on the shop sign earlier is also part of Corl's policy.

That what the magic mark shows is that it is an excellent store recognised by Corl.

Excellent stores are proof that customers can play safely.

He stepped on it that Leese would be refused entry first if he was a good store.

The values are a little tight, but safety management and after-care for customers are also neat.

You don't have to worry about contracting STDs to enjoy them without worrying about anything.

Conversely, it means that customers deserve to play and be deceived in stores that are just cheap, even though they have those stores neatly prepared.

It also said to pay attention to Gin's letter.

They say some of the stores make rough, expensive bills.

Sacubas' ability to charm can be abused in a variety of ways.

For example, you can attract customers to ask for a lot of expensive alcohol and imitate it like winding up money... That's off the record.

(Steady... as usual, huh?)

In the story of the man as Kleif's aide back in Menardo, Beria greeted Kleif quite flashly, so there's no way anyone in Shirai knows.

Does this make it feel like talks are continuing in the castle or something?

At least they know Cliff is in custody.

Tomorrow, when I have a meeting with an intelligence agent,

Copy that.

I nod to Liese.

After leaving the Sex Town and walking the city appropriately, we return to the Inn.
