Chương 163: Finding a Job (1)

When we woke up the next morning, we all decided to go out and explore the city again, but in groups.

Aethisia and Rhefia would be heading towards the Arena to see if they could sign up and join in, both excited to be able to fight someone for money; the rest of us chuckled at their simplicity.

Camara and Kalia would be heading back towards the Market from yesterday, with Camara carrying a few of her carved figures and Kalia bringing along some crops that she had grown; they were both planning on getting a good look at the prosperity of their crafts, and they both made sure to bring a weapon along with them.

Finally, Yiksa and I were going to go looking for some of the brothels in the city, wanting to see if we could find some kind of job inside those locations.

Rhefia seemed slightly annoyed at that, but I promised her that I wouldn't do something stupid, and that I was capable of taking care of myself; besides that, I told her that she needn't worry about someone else sweeping me away, since my heart belonged to her.

My wife told me that when I laid with her again she was going to make me remember that, as well as threatening that I wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow nor speak since she'll ravish me as much as she possibly can.

When we all departed from our own carriage, I was left panting slightly from the sight of Rhefia's arrogant glare, the feeling of her hands on my body still lingering even as she disappeared from sight.

Yiksa rolled her eyes at that, before walking beside me as we made our way into the city.

"So how is this going to work then? Didn't you promise to not have sex with anyone Rhefia didn't agree on?"

Glancing at my concubine, I pursed my lips as we continued to wade through the crowds, both of us wearing cloaks to conceal our bodies.

"I did... I could dance? Oh, or maybe just be some kind of server at a bar? Eh, it depends on the place and what they 'sell'. If it's a club, then it could be entertaining to just be a dancer; I could still make a bit by using my mouth, hands, and tits. If it's a brothel, then I'm sure there's an option for what the girls would want to do, so again, those options are available."

Yiksa nodded, her tone amused as she said "And I'll be doing whatever I want, as long as I provide some coin?"

Grinning at her, I nodded, gesturing to the bustling city around us.

"Indeed~! I would really like to meet that orange Lamia again and add her to our family, but either way we need money. Our baby girl seems to enjoy dressing up, and I want to see her in even higher quality gowns~!"

She smiled wryly at that, shaking her head as she looked around the city.

"That must be something she inherited from you then; I never cared for my appearance, since I knew what I had."

Now it was my turn to smile wryly at her, my eyes tracing her relatively curvy figure before returning to her face.

"The 'what you had' being shapely breasts, wide hips, and a monster hanging between your plump thighs? Is that what you mean?"

Yiksa gave me a wide grin at that, making me laugh as we continued on, chatting about Kalia and what she got from who.

The city was surprisingly peaceful, with each street filled to the brim with people, but...

No one shouted at one another, no one pushed you aside or made rude remarks...

It was truly surprisingly peaceful.

Though, you could also account that to the armored guards stationed at most corners, or the archers lounging on rooftop towers.

However, there was a very clear switch in atmosphere when we continued going in the direction a guard gave us.

Less people lined these streets, and the scent of bread, food, and other people was replaced with floral perfumes and an undertone of sex.

The women we did see leaned against buildings, giggling as they whispered to one another, each of them wearing revealing clothes and sending Yiksa and I sensual smiles.

Yiksa had gotten directions to a club first, where we would try out luck at getting ourselves a job, before getting directions to the prominent brothels in the area.

I wasn't surprised that the guards had quick directions to each, the Boarkin women grinning at us as they piled praises on those establishments.

Anyways, we eventually found ourselves out front of a rather... 'pink' storefront, the stone bricks dusted pink while the door was painted pink as well.

Hanging above the door was a sign that read 'Suu's Love Nest', with a sloppily drawn birds wing.

Glancing at Yiksa, I furrowed my brow at the storefront, which made her chuckle as she said "Usually, the more eccentric these places are, the better they perform; maybe it's cause it feels like an escape from reality or something? I dunno. One popular one I visited once was called 'Swinging and Slinging', so..."

I just had to chuckle at the names, shaking my head as I reached up to knock on the door.

Rapping my knuckles against the wood a few times, I heard a childish "I'll be right there~!", which made me glance at Yiksa one more time.

Waiting a few moments, someone opened the pink door, and to no ones surprise, what greeted us was a woman dressed in pink.

Well, she was pink as well.

Standing at around my waist, the... 'woman'? glanced up at me, her eyes a sparkling red that were hidden under her pink hair, whilst her arms were actually wings; pink feathered wings.

"What can I do for you~? It's rare that Suu gets visitors this early in the day~!"

Her voice was slightly squeaky, and her warm, giddy smile made me smile back as I asked "We were actually looking for a job; both of us were hoping to make some coin..."

"Oh~? Come in then, come in~! Suu can always welcome more entertainers~!"
