Book 3: Chapter 1: Good News
After doing it with Julie, I embraced various kinds of women as a professional gigolo. Everyone had their own problems and complexes, and I worked my best to heal their wounds.
As a result of my hard work, many people had become so overly grateful to me, and my life in this different world has become a fulfilling one.
Then, after a couple of days, certain news arrived on our doorstep.
“Tomo, you need to see this.”
“What’s wrong, Irene?”
We are now in the living room of Irene’s mansion.
It’s currently tea time, which means we’re currently enjoying tea and sweets.
The one who prepared this tea,
“Lady Irene, Today’s confectioneries are a masterpiece!”
is Edith. She seems to have made some sweets together with the maids.
She was, as usual, all-over-the-heels for Irene, and I am just an annoying acquaintance to her.
Even so, the fact that she still prepared tea and snacks for me shows that her fondness for me is genuine.
After an intense sex, she would say something like. “Well, since you did it with me, you’ll have to pay me a lot of money,” but she would always allow me to have sex with her without handing over even a small change.
She’s black-hearted, and a bit of a two-faced, but she always makes herself available when asked for sex.
I think she’s also cute in this way.
“……Can I have some too?”
Julie is also in the room, having tea beside us.
Ever since she started a relationship with me, she has been visiting me almost every day in the mansion.
Since it already came to that point, Irene allowed her to live in her mansion, considering they are good friends with each other. She comes back to her place from time to time to tend over the plants, but with her magic, it’s all done in an instant.
She’s……not a lively person, but it’s still interesting to see the addition of new people like her.
“So, Irene, what is it that you want me to see?”
“I thought of using all these connections that I found to get our city recognized.”
“You found them?”
Irene is an aristocrat by nature.
However, due to the issue of her looks, she must hide her face, and exchanging of letters barely count as her connections.
She knows that she’ll be ignored, and get harassing letters even, but……
Even though it was so hard, she persevered and tracked down her contacts.
“So, what’s our plan?”
“First, there is an official who’s also a part of the Parliament that is coming in.”
“A Parliamentary official? If we can properly appeal to that person, then……!”
“Yes. I wouldn’t say it’s already decided with this, but for now, this is one great step ahead.”
“That’s still great, Irene!”
I rejoiced.
However, Irene’s expression remained cloudy.
“It’s not that easy, you know?”
“It isn’t easy?”
“After all, because of the way we look, it’s going to be difficult to negotiate directly.”
“N-no way……!”
Even though we have come all the way here……
In the end, Irene and her friends lose out because of the way they look.

There’s no way I can let this happen!
I wonder if there’s something……anything I can do to help……”
“Ah!”
An idea flashed in my mind.
“What’s wrong, Tomo?”
“How about I do the negotiating instead?”
“You will?”
“Yes!”
When I answered enthusiastically, Irene raised her eyebrows in concern.
“……I can’t agree to this. Even though the other person is a parliamentary official, it’s still not guaranteed that she will do something bad to you.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“No, it’s not. The other party is already looking down on us. It is my duty to be prepared for all the what-ifs.”
“Thank you for the concern, Irene.”
I made a bright smile.
“But haven’t you forgotten something? I’m a man. Also, my looks are already a big plus on the negotiation table. Don’t you agree?”
Black eyes and black hair are a rare thing in this world.
And because it’s a world where it rotates on libido, there is a huge possibility of our huge gap to be covered by my appearance alone.
In other words, I would play the role of a reverse honey trap.
“But……!”
“Lady Irene!”
While Irene was being reluctant, Edith interrupted her.
“Since Sir Tomo wants to do this, why don’t we give him a try?”
“Edith, not you, too……”
“They won’t listen to us because of our appearance. In that case, wouldn’t it be better if we bet on Sir Tomo instead?”
“……”
。
As Irene was still troubled, Julie joined the fray.
“……I also think the same.”
“Julie……”
“……Tomo is more capable than you think. You can trust him.”
“I…see.”
“……And, if anything else happens, I just have to use my magic to defeat them.”
That’s a bit too reckless, Julie, is what I want to say, but it’s also nice to feel reassured now that I have her backing.
And so, after being told this far, by her closest friends at that, Irene finally gave in.
“All right. You all convinced me. I’ll leave everything to you, Tomo. Still, be prepared. It’s not going to get easy.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it well, but I’ll try to negotiate as best I can.
If I were to be successful here, the people in this city would be one step closer to their happiness.
“Ufufu, you’re really manly, Tomo. I think I like you even more.”
“Really? But I didn’t do anything yet.”
“You already did. Stepping forward to take the initiative is, and I’m really glad you did, honest.”
“It’s for the sake of my love. That’s obvious.”
“Tomo……if you say such thing to me, I……!”
Irene put her hand between her legs and looked at me with her lucid eyes.
It was the look I became familiar the most ever since I came to this world – a look of a woman in heat.
“Tomo, I……I don’t think I can take it anymore.”
“That’s not good, Irene.”
“Why?”
I glanced at Edith and Julie.
As expected, it would be awkward if we did it in front of her two best friends.
However, the two thought otherwise.
“Lady Irene, getting a head start even for me is unforgivable.”
“……I also want to do it with Tomo.”
“Ufufufu, my Tomo sure is popular.”
“Aha, ahahaha……!”
And so, we headed to the bedroom.
