"……… er."
Surprisingly, that's when I tried to say something.
"Ah, Luna, sister! Hiccup."
"Oh, Dee."
Dee called out to Hood's girlfriend in bright shape and ran over.
She - Mr. Lunaria grates the hood, too, and laughs at Dee.
I couldn't help but notice.
... I've seen it several times before, it was a very warm smile, unlike some cropped grin.
Unlike the usual gorgeous and highly exposed outfits, they are somewhere plain and less exposed to men's clothing.
If you loosen up your long dark hair and wear little makeup, you even look like just a town girl.
"Long time no see, life okay? You think you're eating properly?
"Yeah, we're gonna be fine somehow!
"Yes. If something happens, you rely on the clergyman? Thank you very much."
Soft voice.
Fingertips stroking Dee's hair.
…………
Looking at it, Mr. Lunaria looked at me again with different colored eyes.
"... so why are you here?
And he asked me with a surprised face.
An atmosphere like that of the Mercy Mother earlier draws in, full of suspicion and vigilance.
"? Hey, do you know him? If you're going to Will, you're going to be in Colorful Street. Ah!"
Dee hurriedly shut his mouth.
Something like this, he looks like "I leaked a bad thing"... Huh?
"But could it be to Will - honey, Luna's sister's customer?
"Huh? Uh..."
"Well, that's what it is."
While I was wondering what I had answered, the lightly affirmed Mr. Lunaria walked over and took my hand.
Dee made a desperate gesture of apology to me in response to Mr. Lunaria's affirmation.
What do you mean?
"It's customary for a man who climbs into another brothel with a woman he's familiar with to be surrounded by and lose his hair and beard, right?
Oh, that's scary......... plus, it's pretty disgraceful.
In this day and age, men value their honor and decency very much.
If a woman worked in an unfaithful way and shaved her hair, there would be nothing else in the house for a while so that people wouldn't know.
But I complained with my eyes that I was not familiar with you, but Mr. Lunaria said, "Come on."
"That's why I'm borrowing this guy. All right?
"- I don't want my horse to kick me."
Tonio flashed his shoulders.
Dee has repeatedly made a gesture of apology to me.
"Hehe. In the meantime, shall we go?
"Eh..."
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled by Lunaria. [M]
◆
"So, why are you here?"
The inquiry while walking down the street still seemed suspicious.
It's not the usual elegant tone, maybe a vegan tone.
"If you're just saying you're here to see a woman, shall I introduce you to a nice girl? Older or younger?"
"Yes, no, that's not what I'm saying."
"... Well, right. You're the type of guy who's going to butt in a whorehouse or something."
…………
I can't say anything just because I'm aware.
Brad would be happy to move forward if he came to a store like that, but I would take a step back.
"Mr. Samuel asked me if I'd like to participate in the poverty alleviation project."
…… Your sergeant in Sanford? You fought him all the time. "
"We made up. He was a good man."
Answering that, she felt a little taken lightly and then smiled bitterly.
"You don't butt in places like that."
"It's harder and harder if you don't keep it early."
Apologize, thank you, make up.
If we don't keep that early, we'll get more and more confused on a daily basis and bury it among the "things we can put behind."
… it is surprising that things that do not come later or after that turn.
"In the meantime, I've come to see what's going on with both the underneath - what about Mr. Lunaria?
"Because I lived around here at one time"
"- Around here?
That was a rather unexpected statement.
... I'm not so familiar with it either, but from what I've heard, basically whores (prostitutes) and high-end whores (courtesans) are different.
Like the Samurai Festival gaining experience and track record to become a priest and a bishop.
Or a computer game from a previous life, which is not the same as a character moving to a higher position.
- Prostitutes can't be (...), upscale whores (...).
Whether you work in a street whore or a brothel, or different around it, prostitutes are basically the ones with the lower levels of women.
And the upscale whores who deal with the upper class are the ones whose social strata of women are well educated in the arts.
Different from the start, and different goals.
No matter how expensive it gets in a brothel, it doesn't mean it can be turned into a high-end whore... it doesn't seem like it's doing the same thing, but it's not a continuous occupation.
That's why I thought that Mr. Lunaria was also from a considerable social stratum.
"Don't pry. - I'm not going to tell a man I'm not even close to."
If you say so, I have to break the thought.
"That's why I'm just visiting someone I know."
I didn't feel any lies in that word.
It seems like Dee and I actually knew each other, and even as we walked down the street like this, it feels like we know the way very well.
Above all, there are no special signs for Mr. Lunaria (...).
There is no unique, quiet, powerful atmosphere that feels like those who have received God's blessing.
There is no warfare that pops those spines, or the alarm that springs up, as I feel for the families of the evil gods.
Though I could somehow see the back as well because Mr. Samuel had signs of a dark-colored god.
This guy is really, just a guy.
Of course, although I'm not going to be stupid enough to say I'm safe because I'm just a person - maybe this meeting is a real coincidence.
"…… I've lost my mind on something."
Did Mr. Lunaria arrive at a similar conclusion to mine? I was blurred.
"There's such a coincidence..."
"I wonder if it will guide Rare Sylwia on his way out."
I met him perfectly in front of the temple of the Spirit God, so he may indeed be.
Somehow, you and I walk down the street.
From downtown, it gradually becomes more colorful, the smell of fat powder becomes darker, and a woman with a unique atmosphere with a thin cloth becomes familiar.
Small and large inns there.
It's still before sundown, so I can barely hear you whispering.
"That's right. You're here to see this neighborhood."
Mr. Lunaria shrugged and tried to wrap her body around my arm. [M]
"- A little, would you like to hang out with me?
Make your lips look like the third moon.
... she laughed compellingly.
◆
The prominent brothel of Zhu Painted Column, where incense smoke can loosely enter, was somewhere different.
Small room.
In front of me, there is a woman with clothes on.
- Reach out your hand.
"Heh... heh..."
There is a leak in the voice that conceived the fever.
"Yes, breathe heavily. - Spit out."
I stood by and said so with a swallowing voice.
"Suh, ha... Ho, ho..."
"It's definitely a respiratory illness. - Grace Feel, goddess of lightning, fire on the sick floor, on the dark bed."
Consciously calm your mind and pray.
Soon the woman's cough in front of me subsided.
"Oh, thank you very much... Um, thank you very much."
"Don't worry, I already have it....... hmmm."
She looks very tired, her skin is glossy, she has some pimples, and her illness and fatigue have shadowed her beauty.
Then he moves his fingers and carves some "signs" into the universe.
- The Purifying Word. Plus Prayer for Health Enhancement, and a few other precautionary blessings.
Drawing a "sign" and finishing her prayer, her complexion only slightly improved and the pimples disappeared.
"Oh, I don't know, my body's sooo...?
"I cleaned it up with a little magic. But don't be too cautious and take a rest soon if you can."
"Ha, ha"
"Well then, the next one..."
One of the brothels was pulled by Mr. Lunaria.
I wondered what it was, but when she talked to the master via the familiar whore, she quickly set the healing stage for the whores she worked for.
You can't refuse to eat like this, and you don't have to refuse.
I was completely immersed in treatment. [M]
"Yes, please make it easier. If you have any symptoms that bother you..."
Pray for protection around Cure Illness.
The Purification Word and the Health Enhancement Word will also be used.
... but well, if you go in like this, it's worse than you expected.
There are people who work like half sick people.
I guess I can't rest because of the working environment and income problems.
There's a lot of consideration for getting treatment in prayer, and the clergy with shelter is pretty busy in the first place.
... Still, this place is supposed to be a prostitute house there, so you'll already know about the cheap lodging and the situation of street whores.
"……………… a lot is terrible."
"Have you understood the 'status quo' you want?
After a few dozen or so twitches, Mr. Lunaria, who was sitting next to him, said so.
Nodding. Very well understood.
"Brilliantly utilized......?
"It's not a loss not to take advantage of the high prayer enthusiasts walking around."
She didn't even try to deny that she had used it, but clapped her shoulders lightly.
She's been mixing vegetables with words and deeds lately.
"… but it's sturdy. If you're a regular cleric, you've got about ten blue faces, right?
"Fortunately, the protection is thick. Still, I wonder if it's tough when it's a few hundred or so people."
"Convenient on my own, for dozens of clerics. …… heroes are unreasonable. That's a little creepy."
"If that helps, you can make me feel sick."
Even Marie would probably say that.
"Thank you so much for putting the steps on"
Loosen your mouth and say thank you.
Although I encountered all kinds of confusing situations and was quite vigilant... Outside, she might be a good person if that wasn't involved.
If that's what you think - Mr. Lunaria flaunted his face.
……
"There's no one to help you."
She shrugged like throwing up at me tilting her neck.
"Even the people today are going to get sick again anyway. You return to the southern continent."
Squeeze your shoulders.
"No one can help you. … I was a bit self-satisfied and just sold a favor to someone I knew"
…………
"You can't stay here forever, can you?
Indeed, it is a temporary stay in the City of Teardrops.
I'll be back south any minute.
"In the meantime, how many heroes can you cure? Thousands? Tens of thousands? But all of them will be fine if you leave. - I let you use it this time, but this is what's going on around here."
It's not something to go into, Mr. Lunaria said.
Different colors, purple and gold eyes stared at me as if they were going to shoot me through.
"…… That's right."
"Oh.... if you think you're going to be a hero of your choice, you should know better."
"Yeah. Because it's true."
Sure, I'll be home soon.
Unlike around the Lightning River Harbor on the platform, it doesn't cure and say, "Call me if you need anything else."
That's why...
"In the meantime, we need to make sure we don't get back on track when we leave."
Around there, I'm sure I need to think about my hands.
... Finally, for now, I may have seen one thing to do.
He nodded deeply, his eyes glowing, and said, Mr. Lunaria leaned down, holding the area between his eyebrows.
