———————————————————————————–
We have been staying in this town for a month.
For the sake of protecting this land from the invasion of the devil king. The king sent the strongest hero party so we were sent . But we still couldn"t catch out any of the devil king"s army.
The funds we received from the great kingdom was already half sent. And to receive some we need to show result, which we haven"t and has hurted our reputation and honor. Because of that Alto is getting impatient. He decided for us to all go out and search and intercept the devil king"s army.
Me and Birdie objected to that idea. Although it"s good for our reputation to hear we are searching for the enemy. It would leave a gap and leave the city open to being attack and us not being able to do anything.
It is not just honor that is important, it"s also the safety of the citizens. Alto was also persuaded by that, so to compromise, we were split in half. A defense party and a search party.
"Well it"s natural for me and Alto to be searching for enemies. Alto and I being strong fighting pair it is a natural that we would be a great match. Because I can use probe magic we would have a much higher chance of finding the enemy. I could not think of a better match with Alto."
"No, you can battle well in close range battle. You would also be annoying if you come along you golem lady. It"s better if you stay here and protected the town."
"Alto-sama! M-m-me and Alto-sama are a good match!"
". . . Don"t just embrace Alto you female fox. That"s – – – My place."
Well it would natural that this battle for his attention would begin. As Alto said the 8 of us would be split in half. Then the 4 girls began to panic. One of the girls would need to be left behind even if they all went with him. Leading to this ugly dispute. We just watched on the side with lukewarm eyes.(オレ達はソレを、生暖かい目で眺める事しか出来ない.)(TN:more so curious about ソレ. Does it literally = それ even though its written in katakana?If so just curious why that sometimes happen.)
Although that being said. Birde(Spear), Me(Healer), and Root(Navigator) would obvious make a great part of the team. Also if Alto decided that, this whole mess would be settled more peacefully. Though out of all 4 of those girls. None of them would give up easily. We all thought similarly.
"I, I think because I am also a girl. If it comes from my mouth it would further add fuel to the fire. . . One of you guys please suggest it."
". . . That"s right, surely it should be fine if I ask Alto."
"Ask Root.Haaa, Why are we always having to deal with this situation."
"Its because you aren"t popular Birdie."
"Go die."
Root built up his courage. And then forced their way into fighting scene. Root is amazing. The amount of bravery needed to jump into the line of sight of all of them, I couldn"t have done that. Look! Root began to talk and they all looked at him.
". . . .and, what I am trying to say? Alto, it should be fine to take us out occasionally."
"That should be no problem. Alright, Root. Sound goo–"
"""NO GOOD!"""
Well, as I thought it couldn"t be that easy.
"My negligence. . . I knew I should have been wary of a person with a girl like face."
"I never would have thought Root-san was a rival. . . . I won"t lose."
". . . .You elegant h.o.m.o. Don"t disturb my love path!"
"Master and h.o.m.os.e.xual love! Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
" What the h.e.l.l are you guys talking about!?"
Seems like Roots girly appearance has caused an interesting misunderstanding. A truly honorable sacrifice.
"Hey, get out of here quickly. The fires will start to fly."
"OK. Though we lost one ."
Making a swift decision. Occasionally a cool-headed decision had to be made.
We are not heartless, we just didn"t think this compromise would lead to such a result for Root. But dealing with these 4 girls is really tiresome.
We quietly tried to leave the room. Getting away from the war zone we headed for the door. Yes, we are almost free.
". . . .Well, wanna go?"
Birdie stood up on his toes and we quietly left the room.
"Okay, let"s go."
I grinned to that answer and two men. . . . well, A man and a woman, vanished into the street at night. Walking towards the previously mentioned. . . Red-light district.
I don"t want you to misunderstand this though, Me and Birdie don"t have that kind of relationship. Remnants of my previous life still persist in me. I have been living as a woman for more than 10 years and I still like girls. Even though I can"t have s.e.xual intercourse with them, I still enjoy being pampered and spoiled by girls.
I confirmed the amount of money I had in my wallet. And then the two indecent people walked into the night.
"Wait! I am not gay. . . Fio! Birdie! Help! Where are you guys!?"
". . . . Trying to pull Alto into h.o.m.os.e.xuality, it"s unforgivable. . . . There should be no mercy in the sentencing"
"They ran away?! It"s a misunderstanding, I like women. . .Stop! Even though you are women where are you aiming?!"
"We"ll only pluck it off, so don"t worry."
"S-Stop!"(「もぐだけで済ませてやるから安心しろ。」「も・・・もがれてたまるかぁ！」)(TN:Not sure if got the meaning right..)
The red light district has a unique culture to it.
"How about me today~?"
"Oh! Ogre-san! Me and you can have an enjoyable conversation!"
Immediately when we entered the district, the girls came to the roadside.
In this district, the ladies and shops are seperate. There are no young ladies that belong to the shops. They simply wander the street or at the entrance and then pick out a shop that they fancy.
Though it just means that all these shops are owned by a major shop. The entire district is just hostess restaurants and thats how its s.e.x industry works.
"Birdie are you able to endure up to the introduction place this time? There is no success for a guy who can"t even reach the shops. We must learn." (バーディ、今度は紹介所まで我慢するんだぞ？ 路傍で売りこむ奴に当たりは殆ど居ない。オレ達は、学習する生き物なんだ.)(TN:This sentence I don"t even know, it hurt my head.)
"That"s a fool saying. If we are found out that we are using federal money on this it would be bad. If we only rely on money earned from side jobs, though I wonder if that would be enough even for road side girls."
"What should I do without paying money to my lady, Money is essential! Guess I might just have to bite the bullet and eat poorly."
"Even if I get some from the good lady lot, I would hardly be able to eat or drink, I don"t know if I would be able to come home. Why is it that its expected to pay for food and beverages why can"t the girlfriend do it!?"(紹介所)(TN: is used alot and I don"t really know how to explain it.)
Ladies in this town can be scouted to go to the introduction place when they become popular. Scouted girls would be member and have a fixed salary and workplace influence. These are naturally beautiful women who hang out around the introduction place and are good-natured girls who are easy to talk to.
Meanwhile, New girls who are less known, stand and wander around the streets wearing s.e.xy clothes alone and selling themselves. Because they are relatively cheap company many people often choose them. Although it depends on luck encounters range from plain average girls to beauties and future No.1 cla.s.s ladies.
"No,They would wanted everything from me if we went for the good girls, we should search for some girls. However we should learn from previously, Even if their appearances are good their personality might be the worst. Especially all of the women in our party. Just beautiful women should not be our only aim."
"That"s right, the last time I chose a bad personality it was an awful time. I won"t make that mistake again, this time a good personality would be a must. Trust me."
". . . . .Though even with a good personality, I don"t want a gorilla."
"Err, We"ll see. . . . .I"ll find a good one.I"ll be right back."
After saying that, Birdie headed to the women on the roadside that are making s.e.xy poses, while he had a disgusting smile. Well, you"ll never know what could happen.
I sat on a bench on the roadside for 10 minutes while waiting for Birdie.
"h.e.l.lo, Nice to meet you! My name is PPalme!."
Not to long after Birdie came back with a young cute girl with curly hair and freckles. She worn little clothing. She was nervous.
. . .This, This is!
"Are you perhaps new here?"
"Y-yes! I just started this week, Please treat me kindly!"
Birdie got a ridiculous prize out of this gamble! If you are new here, you are fresh and do not have twisted or mean personality. However there is the risk of being a poor talker.
It"s good to be able to talk with each other and have playful conversations, otherwise there will often be just silence. Well,Birdie does have a face of triumph. Is this perhaps a winner?
". . .Please treat me well today! I do not have much s.e.xual experience so I hope not to cause annoyance. . ."
". . . . Wait, for real!?"
Birdie, you! Did you seriously offer s.e.x already without alcohol!? To this new person?
Alcohol is the lubricant before production.Even if the lady is accustomed to the work, the sensitivity of the act changes depending on whether or not there is alcohol.
Isn"t this a bad idea? You may make her feel sore.
"Calm down Fio.I already know what you are thinking. However just trust me."
"Are you saying that you have something else planned?"
"Yes that"s right! Now then Palme shall we go now?"
"Yes! Let"s go now!"
She smiled while saying that.I can see the tension somewhat, but she clearly talks and isn"t that bad of a talker.Although her looks, aren"t perfect she may still become a fun talker and popular girl.
Well, Birdie. Let"s see what your "plan" is.
TN here. Now about those spoilers. I"ve had multiple messages about this story containing spoilers and even the ending. Most I am sure weren"t done maliciously except for 1. But no more spoilers if you know the story, talking about what you think will happen is fine and anything else.
The spoilers and stuff made me really consider just dropping this novel and got rid of a lot of my motivation.
These chapters are much harder so if you are here and have been reading Aiming for Harem Queen, these chapters may take longer, as they are harder and require way more google searches, and are a bit longer. So next chapter in 3-5 days. Probably 3 or 4.
For those who might think this is Yuri Focused it is not. There may be some of it and also may be some boy love(might just be mental). But expect to see all flavors of love in this novel. Some more than others.
Buying me a coffee If you are interested.
