As with previous encounters, the Amazon girl was also startled by Kaede's words. However, from the voice, she couldn't tell if it was male or female, but probably male, right? After all, would a girl come to such a place?
Even with her cloak on, Kaede appeared somewhat slender, but there were also male Adventurers of that type, like a certain rabbit...
When Kaede spoke, she used a slightly disguised voice. Though not completely transformed into a male voice, it didn't sound female either.
"Alright." After reacting, the Amazon girl said with a smile. As for whether he could afford it? That wasn't her concern. If he couldn't pay, they had battle prostitutes here~
"Then, honored sir, please choose a serving girl to attend to you." The Amazon girl said with a giggle, uttering words that left one speechless.
"..." Since she was here, she might as well accept it. Kaede looked at the girl. "Can I choose you?"
"Of course you can." The Amazon girl smiled even more, her body subtly leaning closer again.
"Never mind. So where are the available choices?"
"Hmph, sir sure loves to joke." The girl showed no sign of anger. As she spoke, she pointed over there, at several girls kept in cages.
"Kept in cages?" Kaede frowned.
"It's not like that. Everyone here became a prostitute voluntarily. It's just that this way is more effective at attracting customers' desires." The girl narrowed her eyes. From Kaede's words, she understood Kaede was probably visiting the Pleasure Street for the first time.
"Hmm." Kaede nodded, her gaze sweeping over the caged girls. Most were Amazon girls, using various methods to attract attention.
They all seemed to have noticed Kaede and began displaying their alluring figures to her, throwing seductive glances as if they were free.
However, in the end, Kaede's eyes settled on a girl in the corner. Unlike the others who wore almost no clothes, she was dressed quite modestly. A tail swayed constantly behind her.
It was actually a fox person! To be honest, this was Kaede's first time seeing a fox person.
Moreover, from her, Kaede didn't sense the same aura as from the other prostitutes. Though she didn't know the reason, this was enough to make a choice.
"Her." Kaede pointed at the fox person and said.
"Huh? Her?" The Amazon girl's face showed hesitation.
"What? Is it not allowed?"
"No, it's allowed. It's just that she still has some... issues. She can't yet serve you properly. Since this is your first time here, it would be better to choose another prostitute." The girl said.
"Hmm." Kaede narrowed her eyes. Her feeling was indeed not wrong. But it was really strange. To maintain physical purity in such an atmosphere was truly not easy.
"Her. I'll leave after I finish eating." Kaede said, her voice this time faintly conveying an undeniable tone.
"Alright." The girl nodded and left. Soon after, the fox person walked over slowly.
The fox girl who approached first bowed to Kaede, then said, "Thank you for waiting, master. This humble one is Haruhime, here to serve you."
Hmm, the words sounded fine. If one didn't look at her stiff movements and the rote-memorized sound of her speech. Kaede couldn't help but feel a bit speechless, finally understanding the Amazon girl's earlier words.
Well, this prostitute... seemed quite innocent. For a woman whose profession was a prostitute, this wasn't exactly a compliment.
Then, the fox girl Haruhime sat beside Kaede. Feeling her rigid body, Kaede found it somewhat amusing, so she didn't move away.
Reaching out to wrap an arm around Haruhime's waist, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Kaede's mouth. "As a prostitute, you're not doing very well like this~"
However, Haruhime didn't answer her. Kaede looked again and saw Haruhime's eyes beginning to swim, as if she might faint at any moment.
"Uh..." Kaede let go. How did such an existence even become a prostitute?
This doubt appeared in Kaede's mind.
After a while, the food began to arrive. The girl serving the dishes saw Haruhime's state and a look of mockery flashed in her eyes, but seeing Kaede say nothing, she didn't comment.
Then, Kaede began to taste the food here. When she took the first bite, her eyes lit up...
Truly, it had a unique feeling. The ingredients were common, but the flavor was something she was tasting for the first time.
Narrowing her eyes, this trip wasn't a mistake. Kaede embarked on a journey of gluttony. Her eating speed startled the Amazon girl. She had originally planned to serve the dishes slowly, but now it seemed... not only couldn't she slow down, she had to speed up.
At this moment, Haruhime also regained her senses. Realizing her dereliction of duty, she hurriedly bowed. "I'm sorry, master. This humble one is still only a trainee prostitute. I sincerely apologize."
"Don't just stand there. Clear away those empty plates. More are coming soon." Kaede said.
"Ah, okay." Haruhime looked a bit dazed. She had prepared herself to be scolded, but the other party didn't scold her, only assigning her a very easy task...
Very easy. Then, Haruhime saw the rapidly accumulating empty plates. Was her eyesight failing her?
Then, after confirming her eyes were fine, Haruhime's eyes started to spin a little. Just... how fast is this?
Was the food chewed? Did she just swallow it whole? And her stomach didn't show any signs of movement. How did she do it?
"What are you still standing there dazed for?" Kaede said.
"Ah, okay." Haruhime nodded and began the journey of clearing the empty plates. However, she clearly wasn't used to doing work; her pace was very slow. Fortunately, it was slightly faster than the speed at which the food was being served, so it was acceptable.
Kaede, who knows how long she had been eating, the sky was already getting dark. At this moment, the last dish was finally served, and everyone around wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
She alone had really finished all the food, and she didn't even look full; her stomach didn't show the slightest sign of distension.
Is... is this really a human?
Regardless of what race she is, it's impossible to eat this much food, right?
"Hmm, quite good." Kaede narrowed her eyes and rubbed her stomach, handing the last plate to Haruhime. Seeing Haruhime covered in sweat, she couldn't help but shake her head. She really couldn't do anything well, huh~
However, Kaede also roughly understood where the special flavor in this food came from.
Hmm, it's aphrodisiac.
That's right, it's aphrodisiac, just that the dosage in each dish was very small, not having a strong effect, only providing a slight aphrodisiac effect.
Furthermore, the chef's technique was quite good, blending the taste of the aphrodisiac perfectly into the food. An average person really wouldn't be able to tell. As for how Kaede identified it?
She didn't know at first, but later, she sensed the extra energy in her blood and understood. However, to her, such things were completely useless, so Kaede just ate to her heart's content~
Moreover, Kaede knew she would probably frequent Pleasure Street often in the future. Aside from Pleasure Street, there probably wouldn't be another place that uses aphrodisiac as a seasoning.
That's right, to Kaede, the aphrodisiac in the food was just a seasoning, and it had no other use.
However, for others, the slight aphrodisiac effect, coupled with the seduction of the concubines nearby, meant almost no one wouldn't take the bait. So, this shop's methods could be considered clever.
"My lady, your dishes have all been served." The Amazon girl walked over and said, her face still retaining a look of astonishment.
"Hmm." Kaede nodded and then paid the bill to the girl, which made the girl's expression improve. At this time, the girl looked at Haruhime and gave a wink.
"Um, my lord, please come to bed with Haruhime~" Haruhime said as she walked upstairs.
"..." Kaede went silent for a moment and looked at the Amazon girl.
"My lady, the money has been paid, please enjoy yourself to the fullest."
Kaede tilted her head, then followed behind Haruhime and went up.
"My lord, please go to bed with Haruhime!" Once inside the room, Haruhime walked up to her.
A helpless expression appeared on Kaede's face...
"Setting aside whether there's something wrong with going to sleep right after eating, can you even really serve in bed?" Kaede said as she walked to Haruhime, wrapped her arms around Haruhime's waist, pulled her into her embrace, and lifted Haruhime's chin with one hand, making her face her.
Then, as expected, Kaede saw Haruhime's face turning red, and her eyes started spinning around again...
Shrugging her shoulders, Kaede indicated that she had already expected this. After placing Haruhime on the bed, Kaede opened the window and jumped down. Soon, her figure disappeared into the night.
She hadn't told Aiz Wallenstein and the others that she wasn't coming back, so she had to hurry back~
Hmm, Kaede wouldn't admit that she had been eating too happily and forgot the time for a moment...
