Chapter 303 – #2-28 to the City of Pleasure, And…(1)
“Mister! Then am I really leaving now?”
A certain residential area we stopped by on our way to the 【City of Pleasure】 after being asked to investigate by Ade in the 【City of Water】.
Arriving at this residential district where only an unknown district number was assigned rather than a proper name, I found out that Dan-ae had beaten all the money.
Thanks to that, a lot of things happened for a while.
Her weakness was caught by the innkeeper in front of her eyes, and she suffered all kinds of embarrassing situations.
“…I could have a little more.”
“I don’t like it.”
But fortunately, I was able to win a generous reward for defeating the slug monster that appeared nearby.
Finally I am leaving this city.
‘Even though the process of receiving the bounty was complicated, it was very annoying.’
I was stuck here for 3 more days than planned because I needed procedures to come out.
I would stay at this inn for three more days.
The inn owner asked me to pay it on credit when the reward came out, but I stubbornly insisted on it until the end, so I had no choice but to continue my shameful and disgraceful waitress job. That is unfair.
‘Thinking about that makes me suddenly pissed off again.’
It’ll be the last time anyway. Shall we play a game?
Even if I wanted to go somewhere else, it would be dangerous once I was found out that I was a woman.
Above all, the uncle’s rice was delicious, so she didn’t want to go anywhere else.
My tongue has become a prisoner!
I used to be so calm, but now I don’t have anything to hold back. Will there really be a match?
“I mean, I have to go…”
“What is it? What. What what Wanna join?”
You want to fight! Accept it no matter what!
Come to think of it, he took a lot of embarrassing pictures of me! I’ll threaten you with a fist to delete everything!
With that feeling, he’s acting like a fighting dog preparing to fight right away.
“What is he saying now. It’s hot.”
“Det?”
I widened my eyes at the package that was suddenly sticking out in front of me.
“What are you doing? Receive.”
“Ah, yes…”
Bomb? Is it a bomb?
I don’t think I should have accepted it, but I reflexively accepted it without even realizing it.
Sensing with the magical girl’s strengthened sense of smell, what’s inside is…
“It’s a packed lunch, take it.”
“Dat?!”
“…It’s a gift. Thanks to that, sales also went up a lot. It was fun.”
As if that was the end, the old man turned around and went inside without saying anything. Going to work again
In my hand, I am holding the odokani lunch box the uncle gave me.
Uh… What is it?
Why are you being nice at the end? Just let me hate you
You seem like a nice person… If that’s the case, what’s wrong with beating…
“Go, thank you…”
With a confused head in many ways, I first thanked him and left the inn.
What is it… What is it… It’s futile…

“It always looks expensive.”
A station space like a post office where trains pass. I am looking around like a country boy and admiring it.
This area itself is terribly dirty and filthy, but only parts of it, including this station in the middle, are so clean that it sparkles.
‘Wow, there are people standing there who look scary.’
At the entrance of such a station, people who seemed to be strong were standing here and there as if they were guarding the building.
Although it is a lawless street, the law of power applies here as well.
A building that looks expensive like this seems to cost extra money to place guards. Regardless of whether it is a private expense or a tax.
There is a reason train fares are unnecessarily expensive.
‘If you think about it, that casino area could have been maintained that way because it had power, right?’
Recall the dangerous looking monsters who rushed at the direction of Armon, the general manager of the casino.
Certainly, it would have been impossible to escape if I hadn’t used my full power.
“…”
[Mekrak] Is much more technologically advanced than Earth.
They use equipment and technology that can only be seen in science fiction novels to the smallest detail, and men keep their mental data separately and live as temporary bodies called corpuscles.
That’s why they don’t die even if they die, and their temporary bodies can be remodeled as much as they like, boasting far superior specs than ordinary people.
And other things besides that.
I was surprised to see colorful decorations, whale-like airships floating in the sky, and robots walking around as if nothing happened.
It seems that I vaguely thought that it was something different from Earth.
However.
――’This is a place where people live after all.’
――’There are no dreams or fairy tales here or there.’
――’This must be a troublesome and troublesome world in its own way.’
The words Danae and Danbi said when they first came to this planet, when they were captured by thieves and transported to Qual’s mansion.
Although he thinks that even at the time he heard it, he had a vague realization.
Now, it feels like it touches my skin more clearly.
‘Although I feel like I’m doing something sentimental about things like this when I’m old.’
Conclusion. It’s annoying wherever people live.
Bangkok loner is the best!
〈 Witch Girl 〉’s Blue Moon also said “It’s better to live with the money in front of you rather than empty dreams!”
Likewise, Ruby also said, “The dildo and rotor in front of you that you can put in your pussy are more important than dreams you can’t eat!”…
…Uh…
I guess this isn’t something…
[■■ Thank you for coming to the station. How can I help you?]
In the midst of thinking about this and that, I arrived at the desk that sells tickets.
On Earth, tickets will be issued using machines, but here robots are helping with ticketing.
“One adult female. To [The city of pleasure].”
Anyway though.
I’ll say it again, I finally left for my original destination, the 【City of Pleasure】.
* * *
As soon as I get on the train, I wander around to look around.
The train itself is twice as tall as the KTX, both sideways and upwards.
Also, it seems to use a special technique rather than simply following the wheel rail, but I haven’t heard a separate explanation for that part, and I don’t think I could understand it even if I actually listened to the explanation.
However, as soon as I started moving, it was very strange to run along the rails that were flat on the floor and glide through the air.
If I go on like this, will the place where the slug monster blocked me come out?
I heard that after defeating Taolan, he also disappeared as if it had melted.
‘No, no, more than that.’
More than how the train moves.
I was surprised by the sight inside the train that I looked around.
Chalkang, Chalkang!
Rurrrr! Click!
‘Wow…’
There is a small casino inside the train, so there are a lot of customers who enjoy it.
Putting aside the appearance, everyone is wearing formal suits or expensive-looking clothes suitable for the occasion.
Above all, there were a lot of women between them.
It’s a lot, but it’s only about a third of it.
Still, it has been a long time since women have had such a rare sex ratio in this planet.
Even in the casino area I went to last time, I don’t know the total number, but it was less than here when I hit the sex ratio.
“Oh my, there was a cute kid on board this time~?”
“Hello~ Are you going to the [City of Pleasure] Too?”
“Uh, oh, eh?”
Wow!
Scary-looking older sisters are talking!
It smells like perfume! Pretty! The clothes look expensive too!
I felt like I was out of breath when noble people like Gangnam approached me, who was in a sense of the common people.
“Oh my gosh, don’t be nervous.”
“You seem surprised to hear me suddenly.”
“Wouldn’t it be a little more comfortable if I had a drink here?”
“Oops! It’s too strong! Give me something light!”
Surprised and embarrassed, in front of me, the sisters who had gathered with curious eyes laughed and looked at each other.
Suddenly, a glass filled with liquid was brought out.
The owner of the hand holding her glass was a woman with a charming impression, with her full breasts and an impressive mole under her lips.
“Drink some of this and relax. That area must have been dangerous for a girl, but how did you get on? Great job~.”
Wow… Pretty.
With a gentle tone that somehow felt reassuring, I accepted the cup that was offered to me at random.
* * *
As I came out of the casino hall, the women took me to a bar-like space with soft music playing.
Should I hope, it looks like a cafe, but there is an atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable in many ways.
We sat around on a large, round sofa placed in one corner of the place.
“Are all the people here going to the [City of Pleasure]?”
When I carefully asked, sipping from the liquor in my hand, half of the women shook their heads.
“I’m going to the capital.”
“I’m just going around for a trip. I think you can hear it too, but the destination is unknown.”
I noticed from the fact that there is a casino inside the train, but it seems that few people use this train for the purpose of ‘traveling between cities’.
You should have noticed that the ticket price is too expensive compared to the price.
“Right. No one uses this train to travel between cities like Kay. No, in the first place, most people don’t travel between cities very often.”
“Even if I move, I use my car whenever possible.”
Indeed.
I heard that in the United States, where it is difficult to arrange detailed transportation because the land is so large, it is essential for each family to have their own car, but it seems that this is also the case here.
However, here it seems that the vehicle is a vehicle that flies through the air like a spaceship, or a tank that can run in the wilderness for days and days.
‘It was a real fluke to walk from the casino area to this area.’
I really had no idea at the time, but if I was wrong, I might have wandered the wilderness on a weekly or monthly basis.
After running away from the casino, I arrived in a residential area a day or two later, and above all, I was very lucky that this train passed through that area.
Anyway.
If ordinary people use their cars to get around.
It seems that all the women riding here are gold spoons.
It’s obvious from the outfit, but anyway, it seems to be riding this train for the purpose of simply being extravagant.
I can see why he defeated the slug monster that blocked the train tracks and won a lot of bounty money.
“If you want to go to another city, you need permission, and above all, just being a woman like us is dangerous in many ways. I have nothing to say.”
“By the way, what about the permit to enter the city? If you don’t get permission, you’ll have to sleep outside the city.”
“If that’s the case, I accepted it.”
“Can you show me?”
“…That…”
What do you believe and show to people you meet for the first time?
“Oh, dear. It’s okay. I can’t show you. Ahahaha, I must be too excited.”
Perhaps recognizing my wary gaze, the woman who asked for her permit smiled ahaha and waved her hand.
Her face looked somehow gloomy.
“I was just worried because he felt like a younger brother. Still, I’m glad you seem to be wild…”
“Menny loves her sister so much. Her Kay looked a lot like her brother.”
The coquettish woman who had offered me a drink a while ago said with a bitter smile.
I think the name of the woman who asked me to show her permit was Meni.
“The reason Meni got on this train was because she was trying to find her brother.”
“Tetra. Too many words.”
“Sorry~. But Kei seems to be wandering around here and there, and she was wondering if maybe she could hear the story~.”
Eh. It looks like it wants something from me.
“Well, then… To Kay, can she ask? No, it just feels like a complaint, so it’s okay to spill it in moderation. I just want to guess.”
Stop. Don’t tell me things that will bother you.
I couldn’t say that, so I nodded awkwardly while holding the glass with both hands.
“Thanks. No, it’s not a big deal… It’s just about my brother. He is also in the same age as Kei.”
Meni started to talk a lot.
“That’s… She’s a kid who left for a trip, but she’s suddenly lost. I can’t entrust her to someone else, so I’m looking for her myself.”
