I was sitting slumped in the sofa of Jayanne’s lobby . I was so exhausted that I thought I may not be able to stand anymore for the rest of the day . The concierge who learned about my curing of the girl also spoke words of grat.i.tude towards me . The concierge could easily tell why I was so burnout and told me to take a break for a while in the sofa whilst showing me an apologetic smile . I will accept their benevolence this time round; though I am obliged to comply as I am barely able to move . The other customers looked at me with strange gazes as I just lay there on the sofa .
As I lazed around at the lobby of Jayanne, the girls at the sidelines were gradually coming to work . The Onee-sama that had a bombsh.e.l.l body was also here . Seeing my appearance, she approached me saying “Oh who do we have here!” with a surprised expression on her face . She crosses her legs as she looks at me with a challenging gaze . I can see your lower triangle you know? No, she is purposely showing it to me .
She then licked her lips . She probably wasn’t satisfied with yesterday’s results . She looks like she wants a rematch . She was beating me with a score of 3-0 but then to suddenly have it turned around in the second half to bring it to a tie, I can certainly understand her feelings in the matter . However, it’s impossible . Right now, I don’t have any energy to fight a powerful opponent like her . The concierge whispers into her ear . He is probably telling her about how I got into this kind of a situation . After showing an expression of disappointment she stopped trying to provoke me .
After a while of recovering my energy, I left the store . The concierge sent me off . The day is still early .
Ahh, was the sun always this bright… . . ?
I didn’t feel like playing anymore for the day, so I returned to my hotel . I begin my daily routine of making potions . I was focused on making plenty of Rank E potions and then making a smaller quant.i.ty of Rank F potions and so on and so forth . I intend to deliver the potions to the guild tomorrow so I also made four Rank D potions as well . I also started thinking about various things .
(My pa.s.sion for playing in a brothel has settled down greatly . )
Immediately after being transported into this world, I was so engrossed in this world . I rushed through the process without really taking the time to enjoy it . I was like a starving animal but as one would expect after escaping from the state of starvation, I am now able to think more clearly and enjoy myself a lot more .
(If I think about it, since coming into this world, I have earned a lot of experience and my level has risen considerably . )
I was an amateur virgin before I came here playing around with women at a rate of once or twice a month . But after coming here, I was playing with them every day and it became a daily thing . I wasn’t just playing either, I was learning new things .
It started with the mourning widow that I met in that post town and she was an excellent teacher . The width and depth of my knowledge were also expanded . Because any disease can be cleared with magic, more so than when I was in j.a.pan, it was possible to enjoy intercourse in a less restricted fashion .
Also due to the difference in culture and ethics of this world, I was able to play with girls who were difficult to find within j.a.pan . As a result, without a shred of doubt, my skill improved, my confidence level increased and I grew as a man greatly .
Before being transported, Tauro as a person was not a villain but he was a biased human being . Because of that there was aspects that was extremely dull about him and also strangely delicate places . Although he wasn’t aware of it at the time generally speaking, he probably wasn’t an easy person to deal with . However, right now, he has grown to a level that is decent as a human being . He has a good control over his temper and he has increased his previously low boiling point before getting angry . He has transformed into a person that people could talk to with ease .
If the manager of his company was to see Tauro today, he would immediately promote him to a position of Chief Clerk and he would be able to trust Tauro as a subordinate person with ease . That is just how much change he has undergone .
(The Capital City is a nice place . Perhaps I should go out of this inn, rent a room somewhere and open a body treatment studio which doubles as a potion workshop . )
After having his libido fulfilled, Tauro had a new desire rise in his heart . This was a desire to have pride in himself and become a useful human being for society . The curing of Teacher Light’s ailments brought him an unexpected sense of fulfillment .
It was nice that she was grateful for his help, but even before that, he felt a sense of accomplishment and joy in curing the disease . He didn’t really understand the reason behind it either . It may be something derived from instinct as a living organism .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt(When I go to the guild tomorrow, let’s ask about renting a room . )
Tauro decided on this as he continued to produce his potions .
The next day, I came to the merchant guild in the morning . I was here for the purpose of delivering my potions . I opened the potion bag and showed off the contents . The fierce looking uncle carefully examined my potions one by one and recorded the amount precisely .
「25 potions for Disease Treatment (F), 25 potions for Abnormal Condition treatment (F), 20 potions for Disease Treatment (E), 20 potions for Abnormal Condition Treatment (E) . 」
The uncle picks up a dark colored potion in his hand and continues speaking but in admiration .
「1 potion for treatment of injuries (D), 2 potions for disease treatment, 1 potion for abnormal condition treatment (D), that’s all of it I believe . This is wonderful!!」
Over the past few days, I have worked very hard to create almost 100 potions in total . My potion bag is almost full . The reason I barely created any injury treatment potions is because the unit price per potion is low .
The most expensive medicines are for treating disease and the next most expensive are potions to recover from abnormal conditions . The cheapest medicines are for treating injuries . The price of disease treatment potions is almost double that of injury treatment potions .
「A total of 94 pieces, this amounts of 145 gold coins . 」
I sign the receipt and deposit the funds to my guild account .
「Well, you are a big help to the merchant guild lad . I will buy as many as you can sell, so I hope that we will get along from hereafter . 」
The uncle gives me a big smile . It seems that he will make a lot of profit . But that doesn’t matter to me . I also make money and the other party also makes money, as long as the other party’s shares me profits within the acceptable range I think that it is fine . Oh yeah, let’s ask him about renting a room .
「By the way, I have something I would like to discuss with you . 」
「Yes, what could it be?」
「The truth is that I would like to rent a room and it would be good if you can refer me to a good room . 」
I explained my circ.u.mstances . The fact that I was staying at the hotel residence right now . The fact that I want to rent a room and to use it as a potion workshop but also something that can double as my own home .
「Oho, you want to own a potion studio?」
The uncle’s eyes glow . Something seems to have come to his mind .
「This is a very exciting development . I will take the responsibility to introduce you to a good property . 」
Saying this he calls someone from the interior of the guild . An auntie carrying a huge book came out .
「Is there any areas or places you specifically want to stay in?」
「I don’t have a particular requirement with the area . But in regards to the workshop, I want the room to be as large as a bedroom . 」
In my case, I don’t need a studio to make potions . But considering that I am going to start calling myself a pharmacist and continue making potions, I need some sort of camouflage to make it seem more realistic, right? Also since I am going to double up as an osteopathist, I need to place a treatment bed in there as well .
「In terms of the location, I want it to be a relatively safe place with good public order and where it is easy to reach . 」
Hearing my specifications, the aunt begins to flip through her thick book . Apparently she seems to be a real estate agent . After she presented me a with a couple of choices I chose one of them .
「Well, if you would like Tauro-san, I will be your guide from here on . 」
She seems to be very proactive in her job . Because I found it a little strange, I tried to ask about her zeal in an indirect manner . The uncle answered me with a wry smile .
「We were worried if a good client can settle down in this city . Therefore it’s natural that I would like to introduce you to a good property to live in before you change your mind . 」
I see I was convinced . Directly after leaving the merchant guild, the auntie came with me to the first property I chose on the list . The uncle continues to work at the guild without taking a break .
「Ohh, it seems to be quite sunny today . 」
Located in the intersection of an alleyway there is a stone build three stories tall . The first and second floor are filled with a variety of properties for rent, whereas the third floor is one big property .
However, as a tradeoff, the only two-thirds of the building are for rooms where as the remaining one-third of the build is a garden filled with soil . The reason I selected this property as my first choice is precisely because of this garden . I also wanted to try and do some gardening as well .
「I have a living room, a bedroom, a studio workshop, a kitchen, a toilet, a bath and a storage room… . I think this should be enough . 」
After checking the rooms, I believe that it is more than enough for me to live alone . Rather it seems that it will be quite difficult to clean the place and I’m a little worried about that . The rooms have also been furnished with beds and cupboards . The set up seems to resemble Western European style . I went to the rooftop of the second floor which is where the garden is located in order to take a look . I can see the castle in the distance . It’s a really good view from up here .
Roughly speaking the layout of the capital city goes as follows; in the north is the Imperial Castle, in the south is the Gate, in the east the shopping district and in the west the Pleasure Quarters .
And to the south of the shopping districts is the middle-cla.s.s residential area, to the south of the Pleasure Quarters is the lower-cla.s.s strata of the residential area .
On the contrary however, to the north of the shopping district exists the n.o.ble’s district called the n.o.ble Town and the north of the Pleasure Quarters is the upper-cla.s.s residential areas called the Upper Town .
The administrative agencies exist inside of the Imperial Castle .
And the place I am at right now is the northern part of the lower-cla.s.s residential area . The security around this area is quite delicate but compared with other properties in this area, the overall specifications matches my taste the most .
「Yeah, I have decided . I want this place . 」
By the way the rent here is 15 gold coins a month . Although I haven’t completely grasped the value of money just yet, I am guessing that the other properties around the area would be around the same price .
As soon as I made my decision, I made a contract on the spot . Cleaning is done every morning so the place is ready to be lived in right now . There is a bed in this place but no sheets or futons, but the merchant guild has agreed to provide the service of carrying it all in by the end of today .
「You have been staying at the inn thus far for accommodation so please hand over the key tomorrow morning . 」
The aunt talks about the rest of the property details and then leaves .
(Without realizing it a lot of time has already pa.s.sed . It makes me feel as if this is not a different world . )
I was thinking about these type of things as I eat my lunch at a nearby stall close to my new house . Time really pa.s.ses by quite fast . By the way, I am currently eating some kind of sweet potato set meal with bread as the main course . You might a.s.sume that it is a plain meal . However, it doesn’t taste bad at all . I’m not familiar with this combination of food but it is delicious .
(Alright, what should I do from here on out?)
After lunch, it is time for a bit of beauty appreciation along with doing some fitness .
If I were to go in a sequential order, today would be time for me to go back to Cione for the magical girl course . However, I falter in my steps .
(I really like peach as a fruit . I especially like a young peach that is a little crispy to the touch . )
However…
(It would seem that I’ve eaten a little too much of it two days ago . Rather than something fresh and ripe I am craving something else . )
I recall the cherries I’ve eaten in the past . Every year during summer I would buy a box filled with 2kg worth of cherries . Then I would eat them up . I would eat them in the morning, at night and even the morning of next day if there was any left overs . I will not eat anything besides the cherries . I would stay away from meat, fish and vegetables . I would only eat cherries . At first it tastes delicious .
「Hyaah, cherries are seriously delicious!」
I would scream as such whilst enjoying the sweet taste . But soon the fresh sweetness and sourness of the cherries would be replaced by a gra.s.sy flavor .
Then the second part of it will just be hardship . Almost as if I only eat not for the pleasure but just to get my belly full . Even if I got hungry I couldn’t eat anything else . Because I made the decision for myself .
「If I am hungry then I should eat cherries!」
「If I don’t like the taste then don’t eat anything at all!」
「However, until the cherries are completely gone, I will not eat any other kind of foods!」
This is the “Cherry Festival” rule that I made up for myself . This type of attraction to cherries would only last during the season . Why would I do something like this you ask? When I was little I was shocked at how delicious cherries tasted . However, because of the high price of the cherries, I was only able to eat a little . In the case of cherries, they were expensive all year around . When I did get a taste of the cherries, it would only be 2-3 pieces at any one time . Due to this type of restricted environment…
「When I grow up I want to be able to eat as much cherries as I want . So much that I will grow to dislike it!」
With that type of thought process, I created my own “Cherry Festival” . Immediately after the festival is over, I would lose my sense of attraction to the cherries . However, when the next season arrives, the feelings of wanting to eat cherries would return and the cycle would repeat itself .
Hmm, though I have gone off topic slightly, I will summarize the point now . I really love magical girls . However, I am really quite full of them right now . If I wait a little longer, I will start to love them again, so let’s just wait a while longer . That’s the point .
(Let’s go to a different store from Cione for today . )
Thinking this I suddenly noticed something . Since I have arrived in the capital city I have only been to Ca.s.sabell, Cione and Jayanne .
There are many other brothels in the capital city .
(Should I try some of the other brothels?)
Thinking about this I suddenly thought of somebody . I was wondering how Teacher Light was doing right now . Once she is under my care I shouldn’t just turn a blind eye to her condition .
(Let’s go see how she is doing after yesterday’s session . As someone who provided her with medical treatment, I feel responsible for her . )
Thus I headed towards Jayanne . Although Tauro was not aware of it, the sense of “accomplishment due to being useful as a person” was influencing his actions and conduct in a different direction .
