I can imdiately feel Lunea's nervousness when she gets out of the flower shop. She is doing a good job to hide it, though, so neither of the Heroes notices sothing wrong with her.
Asking Teanosvera to allow to say sothing to Lunea, I whisper, "Don't be surprised. Act normally as if you don't hear anything." Lunea jolts slightly but it went unnoticed by the two Heroes. "Bring them to the north; I already found a perfect place to do the deed."
Humming softly to herself, Lunea quickly catches up to Scott and Raymond. The two are surprised by her sudden movent since she has been keeping a distance previously but none of them suspects anything.
"I think I may have the perfect place for us to spend so private ti," she says playfully with a suggestive smile.
"Oh, you do? I think the place we are heading to is better, though. You know, we have a private mansion here. It was given to us by the King himself. If it is there—"
"That can't do!" Lunea exclaims as she stops in her tracks. The Heroes also stop in their tracks and then look at her in wonder. "If it was given by the King, he must have assigned soone to take care of it, no?"
Scott who was cut mid-sentence nods his head slightly in bewildernt. "Yes, Princess…." He doesn't seem to be able to comprehend why Lunea feels the need to have such an outburst a few monts before.
"That is bad, Sir Scott." Lunea frowns. "I expected you two to understand it already but…this 'activity' risks not only my reputation but also my life. If soone from the Antares Kingdom finds out that I do sothing unacceptable, I will be…" Lunea trails off, allowing the Heroes to complete her sentence themselves.
Sighing lightly, Scott imdiately gives in. "Very well, Princess. Please, bring us to the safe place you know."
Covering her mouth with her hand as if she is surprised, Lunea gratefully says, "Thank you for being willing to understand this immoral woman's wish."
"Pleasing the woman is the man's job," Raymond says as he pounds his chest cheekily. Scott, on the other hand, says nothing.
With a smile, Lunea leads the two to the north. I keep giving her directions by whispering until we arrived at the quietest part of Trichonee City which is the least developed part of the less-developed city in Averia County.
This part of the city almost looks exactly like the slum area but it is way more developed. It might not look like it due to how dark and gloomy the atmosphere surrounding this area but everyone who lives here can afford three als a day.
They are not well-off but not poor either. The amount of money they make is enough to keep them alive but not enough to afford any luxury or better living conditions.
In this area, there is a place that people often co to—the only source of entertainnt in this area, the brothel. Looking at the decrepit building in front of us, you will think that a stormy night will demolish it but it is actually the oldest and toughest building in this area.
"Uh…are you sure that we are going to do it here?" Raymond asks hesitantly, probably wondering if Lunea is playing a joke with them.
"If you think, 'How bad could it be?' you will be very disappointed, Princess. This place will not even et the lowest standard of soone as high-class as you are," Scott reasons.
"Eh? I already know that. That's why I brought you two here." Lunea looks at the two Heroes cluelessly. "Do you perhaps find this place too filthy…?"
Scott and Raymond look at each other in hesitation but eventually shrug their shoulders. Lunea takes that as a confirmation, so she imdiately opens the door and brings them in.
Creak!
Although Millonia, Winerva and I are currently in the sub-dinsion belonging to Teanosvera, we still have so connection with the outside world; therefore, the mont Lunea opens the door, we can all sll the stench of moldy wood and human secretion.
As unpleasant as the sll is, I don't find it repulsive; I have slled worse. As soone who has spent a lot of her ti on the battlefield, Millonia who stands beside also feels the sa but Winerva and Lunea can't help recoiling in disgust.
"I have told you, haven't I, Princess?" Scott mutters, both amused and exasperated.
"…it is for the sake of secrecy. Let's go." Acting as if she didn't hear that, Lunea steps in and heads to the reception table. I have to comnd her for her action.
"I bet you are not looking for your husband here, so you must belong to that kind of woman, huh?" the receptionist, an elderly male, says even before Lunea speaks. "I am sorry but none of my daughters mingles with a woman."
"I want to spend a good ti with my friends," Lunea gestures at Scott and Raymond, ignoring the receptionist's scathing remark.
"Ho-oh? So, you are that side of woman?" The receptionist takes a good look at the two males and then stands up in surprise, knocking on his chair in the process. "S-S-Sir Ray—"
Ching!
The receptionist stops making a sound the mont he catches the pouch of money that Raymond gives him. He widens his eyes and then bows politely before asking us to follow him.
He is bringing us upstairs which, I believe, is where the best room he has is located. The sll gets less and less repulsive the more we climb; the noise of flesh smacking against each other and the moaning sound also get smaller the higher we are.
When we reach the topmost floors, we find a big door right before the staircase. Pointing to the big door, the receptionist tells Raymond and Scott that they can use the room however long they want; he then bows and leaves the scene.
Lunea imdiately walks to the door and opens it. Even before Raymond and Scott can say anything, she strolls in.
"Oi, this one is a bit eager, isn't she?" Raymond whispers to Scott.
"I am more interested in how…normal the room is, though," Scott responds, earning an exasperated sigh from Raymond.
Standing near the window, Lunea watches as the two horny idiots co in. She pulls down her hood when the door is already closed.
Silence descended upon the room as they look at each other awkwardly. Lunea doesn't show any intention to undress yet, so the two idiots don't know how to act.
"Psst. What should I do next?" Lunea mutters lowly; a hint of panic can be detected in her tone.
"Undress," I say jokingly which, I believe, sounds serious considering her reaction.
"Kill already!"
Raymond and Scott look at Lunea in bewildernt. Their eyes are saying, "Oh, wow. Is this bitch into so weird shit or sothing?"
Lunea coughs awkwardly, straightens her posture and then stares at them neutrally as if nothing happened. Deciding that I have ssed with her enough, I ask Teanosvera to switch our positions.
Teanosvera gives a light grunt as a confirmation. His shadow envelops Lunea and at the sa ti. The air shakes as I get out of his sub-dinsion—Lunea's shadow. Darkness fills my vision and, when I regain it, I am already in Lunea's position.
"Ho-oh? What a boring reaction you two have."
Despite my sudden appearance, none of the Heroes looks surprised. They look at right in my mask, asuring up as they prepare to engage in combat. From the looks of it, they know sothing weird is going to happen but didn't expect to show up.
"Demon, you better let go of the Princess; otherwise, you will suffer from the consequences," Scott says gallantly.
"My, my. I have expected sothing big is going on but to think that it is such a big deal…we are going to be rewarded heavily, aren't we, Scott?" Raymond says with a smirk.
In response to their blabber, I tell Teanosvera to mute everything that is about to happen and take off my mask. The two idiots shoot a wondering look for a few seconds and then look at each other questioningly.
Hesitation is apparent on their face. They seem to have the idea of who I am but are not quite sure because of how different I look.
"It has been three months, fuckers," I say neutrally which, maybe, sounds eerie to them. "It is really disappointing seeing the scums I had shot dead still living and breathing."
"This motherfucker…"
"Layland!"
"Yes, I am Layland." I bow politely and then look at them condescendingly. "Your beloved…friend."
"You fucker!"
Raymond is the first one to jump at . Teanosvera has already sealed the room, so I take out Rexorem and unleash my Mana without reserve.
Boom!
Since we are in another one of Teanosvera's sub-dinsion, the room can withstand my Mana blast. The wooden floor is slightly dented but it doesn't crumble despite so—it looks like it is made of high-quality wood.
Clank!
"Gah!"
When our swords clash, I get to know how much power Raymond has. Still, the one who has to fall back is him since his hands are badly injured by the petals of [Senbonzakura].
Scott imdiately shoots forward, prompting Raymond to warn him. "Beware of his invisible swords!"
He doesn't seem to hear it but I can tell that he is approaching rigorously. I use my Footwork Technique, surprise him by suddenly appearing before him and then hit him in his solar plexus with Rexorem's poml.
"Keuk!"
He is launched to the back and then crashes into Raymond. Looking at the scene makes think, 'I haven't killed them yet but, with just one stone, I can kill these two birds.'
