Chapter 2 – Selling items to pay a prostitute. That’s immoral.
It's time to complete the mission the system gave me. I wanted to stay with Hestia and chat more, but...
I need the "Swordsmanship" skill to use a sword.
Hestia already knows I don't have any skills because I didn't put any in my falna. Also, I told her I didn't know how to use a sword or any weapon.
Obtaining the "Swordsmanship" skill will be the starting point.
"Are you sure you don't want to eat something with me?"
"I have something to do. It's getting late, and I can't waste time. I stayed indoors for many hours today because I had something important happening."
"That's suspicious..." Hestia looked at me curiously. "But I'll be waiting for you tomorrow morning. I'll accompany you when you go to the tower for the first time! I'll also get you a sword. What kind of sword do you prefer?"
Hestia started talking about various swords, but I just said that a one-handed short sword was enough—a short sword and a knife.
"Alright, I'll get that for you. But don't expect anything of good quality, okay?"
"Yes, I know our Familia doesn't have money."
"Hey, you don't need to be so blunt... I'm trying to find a job, you know?"
"Don't worry, soon we'll have plenty of money."
"How can you be so confident? Don't tell me you think you'll become a high-level adventurer and make our Familia rich?" Hestia said, clearly mocking me.
"Yes, I'm quite confident about that."
I left the church and headed towards the adventurers' guild. I looked around, and there were some adventurers here and there. 'I need the guild to earn money.'
As I approached, I saw a girl with red hair and dog ears above her head. Her eyes were golden, and she didn't show much emotion. I talked with her briefly before leaving.
She will be my advisor from today. 'Rose Fennett is a beautiful woman. Even if she isn't my favorite character, she is certainly a woman I'd like to have in my harem if possible.'
But this is not the best time to think about that.
'I need money to go to the entertainment district. There are many prostitutes there.'
That was my plan, but I forgot I needed money.
'I'll go back to my room. I think I can sell some things to get money.'
I returned to my room and started rummaging through my closet for valuable items. I found a silver watch, branded sunglasses, and a new fan.
But there's no electricity to use it here.
"Hmm... I can also sell these light novels, can't I? I don't need them anymore. I'm sure I'll have plenty of entertainment in this world. Alright, let's take everything."
A watch, sunglasses, novels, and some fake bracelets and rings. It can be sold for a good price.
I put all the items in a cloth bag and left the room, searching for a place to sell them. Would Welf buy them? Or maybe the Goddess's shop... No, she makes weapons. She wouldn't want these.
I need to find a store that buys everything.
After twenty minutes, I found a building with a sign that said, "We buy all kinds of items."
This was the first time I had seen this place, and it was never mentioned in the novel.
I entered through the door, and the first thing I noticed was that although it was a store that bought all kinds of items, most of the things on display were weapons and armor.
"Interested? The price is a bit high, but it's worth it." A middle-aged woman approached from behind. She had short hair and some scars on her arms.
She probably ventured into the tower before.
"I'm here to sell some items. I need money."
"Sure, come with me, please."
The woman went behind the counter, and I took out everything I carried in the bag: the watch, three pairs of sunglasses, two bracelets, four rings, and ten books. None of them were volumes of Danmachi, of course.
"Hmmm... Where did you get these?" The woman picked up the items one by one and started analyzing them.
"I can't say that. But rest assured, I didn't steal them."
"..." The woman looked at me and smiled. "I'm not worried about that. But these items are interesting. I've never seen such a luxurious watch for the wrist. Also, these jewels seem high quality."
"How much can you pay for all this? I'm in a hurry."
"I can pay 5,000 Valis for this watch. And I can pay 10,000 for the rest."
"15,000 in total? Isn't that too cheap? A good meal can cost 300! 15,000 for all this is a scam."
"How about 20,000?"
"..."
I stared at the woman, not knowing what to do. I'm sure I can get a better offer for all this. This is frustrating. I don't know how much it costs to spend the night with a woman, so it isn't easy.
"Will you accept the offer or not?"
"25,000."
"24,000."
"Deal."
"Great! I'll prepare the money right away," the woman said cheerfully. I can tell she just scammed me. I'm sure I sold all this for much less than it's worth.
I should have waited until tomorrow and made money in the tower... The mission doesn't have a time limit anyway.
The problem is that I wouldn't have the "Swordsmanship" skill, but I think I could manage anyway.
"Here you go, 24,000 Valis. You can check it if you want."
"Don't worry. Tsk."
"What was that? Want to back out of the sale?" The woman took the money bag off my hand.
"Just give it to me already." I grabbed the money bag from her hand and left the store quickly.
With the money in hand, I immediately headed towards the entertainment district where the Ishtar Familia was. It was the best place for this sort of thing. I'm sure I'll find someone to have sex with in less than three minutes.
Unfortunately, I had to ask for directions to get there. I admit I felt a bit embarrassed.
But when I stepped into the entertainment district, I quickly lost my embarrassment. The beautiful women standing outside the buildings didn't make me shy but excited.
There were so many good options that I didn't know which one to choose.
There were human women and mostly amazoness. There was even a woman with animal ears, a werewolf.
'I confess I've always wanted to have sex with a girl with a tail and animal ears.'
While I felt my dick swelling inside my underwear, I walked towards the werewolf girl who was looking at me with a naughty smile on her face. I think she understood that I wanted to fuck her all night long.
