Tsukasa had always thought that as a prostitute, this girl would have a lot of experience.
However, this was a normal reaction, right?
Yet this girl was a virgin.
As for how he could tell, it was all thanks to his sense of smell.
Under the dim light inside the room, the appearance of the girl was seen clearly.
She had waist-length blonde hair and green eyes that gleamed at night. She wore a red kimono, which showed perfectly the shape of her body. Yet what was most noticeable about her was her fox features from the ears and tail, which made her cuter.
Without a doubt, she was beautiful.
Still, Tsukasa realized that even if he came to this world, he hadn't tasted the feeling of the demi-human except for the elf and goddess. After all, there were so many races in this world. As a professional, how could he let them escape?
Yet Tsukasa still knew how to hold back, so he didn't plan to do it, especially with the prostitute. The real intention he came to this place was because he was afraid Aisha would be fooled. There was nothing more or less.
Definitely.
"Let me help you, sir." Haruhime stood up and tried to help Tsukasa to bring his luggage and sword.
"It's okay. It's heavy. You might not be able to lift it," Tsukasa said.
"No, it's my job. Let me do it," Haruhime insisted.
"...." Tsukasa looked at Haruhime and said, "Then, let's lift it together. After all, it'll be bad if you drop it."
"....." Haruhime was stunned since it was her first time hearing such words. "Okay." She thought Tsukasa might have something important in his bag, so she also knew it would be terrible if she dropped it. Still, her eyes quickly caught notice of the Nodachi in his hand, which made her dumbfounded, considering she didn't see it previously.
While his Drying Pole was so noticeable, he often made it invisible to see by wrapping it with his telekinesis to make it invisible.
"Is that your weapon, sir?" Haruhime asked curiously since his weapon was so long, big, and tough.
"That's right." Tsukasa nodded, then said, "Also, don't call me sir since our age is about the same."
"Really? Haruhime is 16 years old now. What about you, sir? Ah, I have called you a "sir." Is that okay? What should I call you, sir? Ah, I did it again!" Haruhime panicked and lowered her head since she thought she had done something wrong.
"Calm down. I'm not angry." Tsukasa patted Haruhime's head gently.
"Um..." Haruhime was embarrassed, but she didn't fight back. Still, she looked at him curiously, wondering how the face was under his mask. After all, she had heard they were about the same age, yet why did she feel he was full of experience?
Still, Haruhime didn't feel bad since being patted was so nice. After all, she had never been treated like this after she came to the Orario and became a prostitute. Her job was to give pleasure to the man, and she didn't expect anyone to give her comfort.
Maybe she was also part of the fox, so she loved being petted like this.
"I am 15 years old. As for my name, you can call me..." Tsukasa thought for a moment and felt it was better to use an alias. "Yuuki. As for the kanji of courage."
"Yuuki?" Haruhime was surprised and asked, "Ah, are you coming from the Far East, Yuuki-sama?" When she saw his weapon, she had this question, but when she heard his name, she confirmed it.
"That's right."
"But you're 15 years old! It's amazing that you have become an adventurer." Haruhime was really surprised and amazed since she didn't expect someone who was younger than her could become an adventurer.
"I think this is normal. After all, I don't have any money back then. If I want to survive, I will need to do something," Tsukasa lied brazenly.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Haruhime quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry for making you remember something unpleasant."
"It's okay. I don't think of it as something unpleasant. But compared to me, your situation isn't much better, right? How can you suddenly reach this place?" Tsukasa asked after he sat down near the wall.
Still, while this room was like a Japanese room, he was quite speechless since there was a huge hole in the side wall. He didn't complain since he could see the moon, but if he wanted to do Haruhime, should he let everyone see them?
"Well..." Haruhime also sat next to him and told him her story. He had kindly told her about his past, so she thought to do the same, but probably she wanted someone to talk to, so she talked about what had happened to her.
Frankly, what had happened to her was quite unexpected. After all, as a daughter of the noble, she was framed by someone and disowned by her father. By then, she was forced to leave. However, when she was left with a certain someone, they were attacked by monsters.
"Some bandits rescued us, and they sold me to Orario."
"I see..." Tsukasa didn't feel surprised since he knew that Haruhime and this certain person didn't have money, so to repay them, they decided to sell her as a prostitute.
Haruhime smiled softly, feeling glad since she was glad that Tsukasa didn't react strongly to her story.
"But you were noble, right? Was being noble good? I had always seen them wearing beautiful clothes in the past," Tsukasa said some nonsense, asking about her life as a noble.
"Hmm..." Haruhime thought for a while and said, "It's difficult to say since I have been forbidden to go out, but all I can say is that I lived quite well back then." She wasn't dissatisfied with her life back then, but if there was something that she was dissatisfied with, it was how she couldn't get out no matter what.
Listening to her story, Tsukasa felt Haruhime's situation wasn't much different from now and in the past. The only difference was that the cage was slightly smaller than the previous one.
Still, this wasn't a question he should ask. Instead, he should maintain the warm conversation between them since they had only known each other.
"Isn't that boring?" Tsukasa asked, wondering whether Haruhime didn't feel bored staying in her mansion.
"Well, I'll be lying if I don't feel so, but there's something that I have always liked to do there," Haruhime said.
"Oh? What is it?" Tsukasa asked curiously.
"It's a story about a hero," Haruhime said with bright eyes.
"Hero?" Tsukasa smiled and said, "You're one year older than me, but you're like a child, Haruhime."
Haruhime suddenly pouted and complained. "Yuuki-sama, that means! Also, a hero story isn't something childish!" This was something that she couldn't accept since, even now, the story of the hero was amazing!
Yet her eyes were slightly dimmed since she knew no matter how much she screamed, it was impossible for her to be saved by a hero.
Tsukasa noticed Haruhime's expression and quickly said, "Well, I have never read a book in the past, so can you tell me what's so interesting about it?"
"Of course! I'll tell you!" Haruhime moved closer and said, "Please listen well, alright, Yuuki-sama." She quickly forgot her previous thoughts and told him what was so good about the hero story.
"Yes, yes."
Somehow, Tsukasa felt this girl was too easy, right?
"..............."
