Lucius POV
Streets of Orario.

...

...

On one of the main avenues, there were three people heading towards a certain church, but I was getting bored; I couldn't let my night end so easily, and I still had half a bottle of whiskey to drink.
I realized that a night here in this world is better than a night at a college bar on Earth; maybe I just needed to hook up with someone to end this night beautifully. Judge me if you want, but my friend downstairs needs activities, so I'll be promiscuous, as long as I don't go out with anyone who might fall in love with me and bother me later.
"You guys are going to the church; I'm going to do some... personal things..." I said to Bell and Hestia as we walked through the streets a bit drunk, except for Bell, who was taking care of Hestia after the loli drank too many beer mugs.
Hestia looked at me suspiciously. And that reminded me of something else.
"Ah, Hestia!! Tell me where Demeter lives!" I said, remembering my new friend, quite intimately, by the way.
But as soon as I finished saying that, I took a sandal slap to the face, which made me stagger.

"OUCH! What was that? I almost broke my 24-year-old bottle of Scott, Hestia!" I frustrated with my goddess at that moment.
"I don't want my children involved with other goddesses!!!" protested Hestia.
"Come on, my almighty, omnipotent goddess, are you going to abandon a child in dire need?!" Trying to flatter the loli, I tried to persuade her to tell me where Demeter's house was, but without success.
"Do you think I'll fall for your flattery? Hm!" She turned her face to my impotence.
"Bell! Convince her, you have an obligation to help a member of your family right now!" I demanded, speaking like a drunk.
"And..." Bell was lost as he listened to my demand, and Hestia was looking at me with narrowed eyes.
"HELP ME, BELL!" I grabbed his collar, leaving him stunned as I shook him relentlessly.
"But..."
"HELP ME, BELL!"
"I don't..."
"HELP ME, BELL!"
"I..."
"BELL!"
"..."
"BELL!"
"..."
I shook him like a ragdoll, and he didn't know what to do, as I didn't let him speak while yelling at him to help me.
"Look closely, Bell!" I said after I stopped shaking him.
I looked into his eyes and pointed to Hestia a few meters away from us.
"Do you see that Goddess?" I asked seriously.
"YES, SIR!" At that moment, Bell was submissive after I put so much psychological pressure on the boy.
"LISTEN, YOU ARE BELL CRANEL! THE ADVENTURER WHO WILL SURPASS EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD, EXCEPT ME, AND YOU WILL BE A HERO, AM I WRONG?" I shouted like a commander taking care of a military platoon.
"YES, SIR!" Bell didn't dare to deny that.
Our little commotion began to attract the attention of people from the streets or decks with open bars.
"NOW, AT THIS MOMENT! I NEED YOU TO FACE THIS CHALLENGE! YOU WILL GET DEMETER'S ADDRESS WITH HESTIA! BE MY HERO!" I shouted.
"But I..." He showed signs of weakness, but I wasn't going to let him.
"BE MY HERO, BELL. BE STRONG AND WIN THIS CHALLENGE! SAVE THIS WORLD! IF YOU FAIL, THE WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, BELL CRANELL!?" I didn't know what I was saying; the words just came out of my mouth.
"YES, SIR!" Bell quickly took his first steps towards Hestia, who was crossing her arms while listening to all our commotion.
"My goddess... I... Hm?!" He said insecurely but couldn't finish after receiving a sandal slap to the face.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BELL, YOU DIDN'T SAVE THE WORLD... Hm?!" I burst into laughter at the scene, but I didn't finish before taking a second sandal slap from Hestia.
My world spun as I fell backward without resistance, wondering where Hestia stored so much strength.
I quickly got up, but found that I was alone in the street; there was no sign of Hestia or Bell anymore, so I picked up my bottle still on the ground and drank, ignoring the rest of the looks that people were giving me, something like, look at that young man drinking sitting on the ground, this youth has no more solution...
With no other options, I stood up and turned around as I walked through the streets of this aimless city, and when I finally realized that my whiskey bottle was empty, I saw that I was in a place I had never been before.
There were women in sensual clothes, showing a lot of their bodies; I realized they were prostitutes.
"Hello, prostitutes, don't tell me I'm in the pleasure district!?" I asked them directly; I was very drunk here, I couldn't control myself.
"How rude, handsome, we are, but how about a night of pleasure with me or both of us? I'll give you a discount because you're pretty hot." She sensualized for me.
"That's good! You, madam prostitute, are a very nice person! But since I'm here, I had an idea, maybe some other time I'll acquire your services, however, today I must save a princess!" I said to her, who formed a scowl on her face, but I ignored and continued on my way.
"Come here, handsome man!"
"Come play with me!"
"1,000 valis, and I'm yours!"
"Are you liking what you see?"
'Man, they're so persistent!' I said until I finally reached the place I wanted.
Of course, as I entered Ishtar's territory, more and more prostitutes appeared on the streets, and I had to dodge them to get to a place I was looking for, a brothel.
Not that I was going to sleep with a prostitute, but I wanted to meet someone.
I kicked the first door.
*PAHH!!*
"Did I scare you? Sorry about that." I said drunk. The attendant was frightened by my entrance and glared at me when I approached.
"What do you want, sir?" She said dryly.
"I'm looking for a girl; she's a blonde renard with emerald eyes." I could say the name too, but that would attract much more attention.
"We don't have that kind of girl." She said dryly.
"Understood, then goodbye, good work there." I said goodbye and left without caring about her grumpy response.

*PAHH!!*
"Did I scare you?"
"We don't have that kind of girl."
*PAHH!!*
"Did I scare you?"
"We don't have that kind of girl."
*PAHH!!*
"Did I scare you?"
"We don't have that kind of girl."
*PAHH!!*
"Did I scare you?"
"We don't have that kind of girl."

I only remember this in the last hour; I found an open bar and bought another bottle of vodka. I wanted to commit a crime today.
*PAHH!!*
"Did I scare you?"
"We have this girl."
"So I'll leave... Hm?" Did I finally find her? I wondered.
"I want your services!" I said happily.
"She?! Well, alright, but if you change your mind, you can call me, and I can recommend another girl; it will be cheap, even for me..." Not surprisingly, the attendant was a prostitute too.
"I'll pass, madam." I said immediately; I didn't want to face this woman in any way, not even if I were paid and as drunk as I am now.
"Room 23, it's 10 thousand valis, sir." The plump woman charged me angrily for the refusal, and I shrugged, paying the amount.
'It's a lot of money, but I'll accept to see an important character...' I thought.
Opening the door, I saw a bed and a female figure inside; she was kneeling and saw me approaching.
"Hmm? A customer? Let me help you, my lord." She said innocently.
"What's your name?" I asked, trying not to sound too drunk.
"Haruhime, my lord. May I know yours?" She said as she watched me approach the bed.
"It's Lucius, Haruhime. A pleasure." I said as I looked at her; she was truly beautiful, a pity that she became a slave thanks to her own father, which is absurd.
"Lie down, sir Lucius." She said, and I obeyed, lying down.
She leaned over me and got into a position that surprised me with audacity, but she looked at me lost; she didn't know what to do now.
"Should I help you undress?" She said calmly.
I didn't answer, and she started to lift my shirt, or that's what I thought.
"Leave everything to me, sir client... Hm?!... A man's abdomen..." I heard her murmur.
She suddenly threw herself backward with eyes swirling and a bleeding nose.
"Well... That was quite a scene..." I muttered, looking at the woman fainted on the bed and went to drink my bottle of alcohol.
When Haruhime woke up, she found herself alone in bed.
"I drive everyone away..." She says, thinking about her life as a virgin prostitute, but she doesn't know that.
"I don't think that's a bad thing..." Says a Lucius, whom Haruhime didn't notice.
But to her surprise, she saw the man she thought had left after she fainted from seeing his body, who was sitting while looking out the window and drinking a bottle of alcohol straight from the mouth.
"I see you've woken up..." I smiled at the Renard.
Haruhime got out of bed and knelt to apologize, but I just smiled at her.
"There's no need to apologize. Believe me, it's fine. Paying those 10 thousand valis just to see that scene was worth it!" I said with a laugh.
'I didn't come to take advantage of Haruhime; I just wanted to enjoy a funny scene I saw in the anime.'
"I don't think we're going to have sex, and I have nothing to do, so how about I stay here drinking and chatting?" I said to the girl, who was still watching me on the floor kneeling.
"Of course, sir Lucius!" She said awkwardly, as if we were going to fuck, there wasn't much to do, but I had a good way to relieve boredom.
"That's great, want a drink?" I offered.
"No, my lord, I don't drink." She declined.
"So how about a story? Then I can stay here for the night, and you won't have to attend any clients tonight." I said.
"A story? What story, sir Lucius. I want to hear!" She seemed very excited now.
"Then I'll tell you a very interesting one." I started.
"It all started in a Pallum village in a remote part of the continent known as Middle Earth; there was a ring with great power..."
I think she expected me to tell clichés of a hero saving his princess, but now I'm going to tell real stories, so I spent hours telling how a little Hobbit crossed a continent for years to take a powerful item to a mountain to destroy it; during this time, he went through various trials and dangers, even without overpowered abilities, he went through all with courage and determination, so that in the end, they could defeat the forces of Sauron, a dark being who wanted to dominate all of Middle Earth.
I noticed that I got too carried away in Tolkien's story because I don't remember when I passed out after drinking so much.
A few hours later.
"Hmm!? My head feels like it's going to explode..." I grumbled as I woke up drowsy when I opened my eyes.
When I woke up, I realized I was lying in a large luxurious bed, and I also noticed the touch beside me; I was with another naked woman, I noticed her tan skin and even thought it was Aisha for a moment, but when I saw her purple hair and felt her giant breasts, memories of a few hours came to me like a lightning.
"Ah, it seems I slept with another goddess..." I said to myself, thinking about how I'm going to get out of here alive because this goddess is very dangerous.
