Chapter 137 – Glasses boy spends a few days not going overboard

It’s been three days since old lady Adyll let me stay at her mansion in the brothel district.

Fortunately, Adyll didn’t go out at all, so I was able to use those past three days to walk around every nook and cranny of the brothel district.

… In a maid outfit.

That was useful to not only let me better familiarize myself with the surroundings, but also to spread word of my role as someone who works for the person in charge of this district, Adyll.

If I make people aware of my position, then nobody in this area should bother me.

Because I am someone who is connected to the manager.

Anybody here can easily conclude that, if they harm me, retaliation will come their way.

Luckily enough, only a few people seem to know that all the servants at old lady Adyll’s mansion are men.

Therefore, I think I was able to successfully make the people in the surroundings think that I am a girl maid who wears glasses.

That said, if someone whispers that I am a man in a girl’s outfit, I might cry a bit… Please don’t show me the reality. I may not mind dressing up as a woman, but it still hurts to have people point their fingers and laugh at me.

In any case, I currently have three forms.

The first is the normal me. The hunter, Eil.

This form will be on rest for a while.

The second is Elle, the bodyguard and maid.

This is my main form for the time being.

The third is the one who uses the glasses that completely seal off my face… I’ve named it mask-type glasses, and I have yet to show this appearance to anyone.

“Come to my room tonight, Elle.” Seviarow told me.

“I refuse.” I replied.

Since I arrived at the dinner table, on the first day with this maid outfit, young lady Seviarow started inviting me to her room often.

It’s not really a problem though, as I have just refused her each time.

Old lady Adyll has also allowed me to act in this form. She said that it was a good idea because it made me feel like somebody who was naturally fit to work with her.

Well, she’s probably aware that I just want to hide my appearance though.

******

After putting on the usual makeup and wearing the maid outfit, I sat down at the breakfast table and asked for today’s schedule.

Then, once breakfast was over, I returned to my room, as Adyll had no plans for today either.

“Hey, kid. The young lady is going to go look around. If you wanna accompany her, come quickly.” Dynawood told me shortly after knocking on my room’s door.

He said he was going to keep an eye on me, so he ended up being fairly close to me.

He often comes to see how things are going, and often brings me messages too.

He’s also the person I talk to when I need something.

Perhaps the person who I talk to the most in this mansion is Dynawood.

“Okay. I’ll be right there.” I replied.

Since yesterday, I’ve decided to start accompanying Seviarow on her rounds.

As what I learned over the past three days, was the nature of old lady Adyll’s job.

She probably does more things behind the scenes, but as far as I know, she’s the manager of all the brothels in this district.

… Or rather, she is the one who rules them.

In return for receiving a percentage of the money earned by each shop, Adyll deals with any disputes and problems that happen in the district.

She seems to serve the role of an underworld leader. A role that my master once told me about.

Essentially, she’s not only the person behind the brothels, but also someone in charge of a forced security business.

If you want to work here, you have to pay her a fee, but in turn you get protected by her.

From what I have seen, the people in the brothel district have a mixed reaction to Adyll.

Some welcome her protection, while others don’t want to pay her fee.

It was a bit relieving, to be honest.

Some people welcomed me when they heard I was someone that came from the mansion, while others gave me a disgusted look.

Still, they weren’t giving me a reaction that was filled with fear.

Therefore, Adyll doesn’t seem to rule with ruthless violence or anything like it.

So, essentially, most people seem to understand that the protection fee was worth the trouble.

Now that I think about it, this was what made me meet Seviarow.

At that time, had I harmed either the man or the woman who were trying to extort me, Seviarow would have surely become my opponent.

But that was not what happened.

Back then, Seviarow was wary of me.

While she was on her usual patrols, she happened to come across that scene and seemed to be watching the dispute while being cautious towards my attitude.

Because a man that was much bigger than me was trying to extort me, yet I didn’t change my expression and handled the issue calmly.

My reaction was obviously wrong at that time.

When I heard about what’s Seviarow role in this city, I understood it.

My reaction was surely abnormal… In future situations, I may try reacting with a bit more fear, but… Well, isn’t that way too hard? I was taught to not let my emotions show, after all.

In any case, old lady Adyll is the manager of the brothel district.

Therefore, unless something big happens, she will always side with the residents of this district.

There’s no law or anything that she needs to abide by. All she has to do, is to protect the people here.

And the result of her properly fulfilling her role, is that mansion she lives in.

“Are there any problems?” Seviarow asked the person in charge of a brothel.

Seviarow led the way, with me and Tyran following her side by side.

The main task of her patrol, is to visit stores and ask how things are going.

If something happened, then she has to deal with it. Otherwise, we go to the next one.

There are many large and small shops here, and the alleyways are all very complicated.

That’s probably the result of new buildings being added to the city without any planning, so Krozheit ended up being a city with no sense of unity at all.

It took me three days just to memorize the paths of this district.

It’s truly complicated. I really wish it was easier to remember the layout of this city.

“Hey, young lady, why don’t you leave this child here? You can sell her, right?” The brothel’s owner asked.

Sometimes the manager of a brothel invites me to work for them, but that’s not a problem either.

“No. This one is mine.” Seviarow replied.

I don’t remember becoming yours though.

“Oh? Did you start going for girls too?” The brothel owner asked.

“This one is special. No amount of money can buy this one.” Seviarow told them.

I’m sure I’ll lose something very important if I were to accept her money, after all.

“Look at that butt though. It’s so small and cute.” The brothel owner said.

Please don’t look at me with lewd eyes.

******

After the morning patrol was over, and with nothing in particular happening during the evening, night arrived.

… I think it’s about time.

It was midnight already.

I put on a fluffy jet-black dress that was filled with frills.

This was something that young lady Seviarow gifted me, and it was apparently one of her preferences.

Honestly, I don’t really need it, but I decided to use it because it was a good color for moving around at night.

I have no plans of ever wearing it in front of her though.

In any case, even the bustling brothel district falls asleep this late into the night.

The mansion, which was always quiet, but lively, had now fallen asleep in a painful silence.

I silently walked down the pitch-black corridor, until I arrived at my destination.

“Are you awake?” I asked as I quietly knocked on the door.

I heard the person inside move, and it didn’t take long for him to open the door.

“What are you doing at a time like this… And what is up with that outfit?” Dynawood complained to me.

He seemed to be quite surprised to see me wearing this frilly dress.

Well, I was surprised too though.

I mean, seeing Dynawood come out of his bed wearing only a pair of pants is quite something.

… Though somehow, he still seems to be quite dignified… I suppose some people are truly born different.

“I’m going out to survey the city, in order to have a better grasp of it.

“If you found out about me leaving in the middle of the night, you would surely suspect me.

“That would be way too troublesome, so I decided to tell you about it in advance.

“Well then, I’ll be going.” I told Dynawood.

“Wait, survey? What for?” He asked me.

“It’s part of my job. If I don’t have at least a vague understanding of this country’s paths, buildings and roads, I won’t be able to properly protect the manager in a situation where we need to run.

“I think understanding the city is a basic necessity for a bodyguard.” I explained.

“Can’t you do it during the day?” He asked me.

“I’ll stand out during the day, and I think it’s better if I am not seen leaving this mansion much.” I replied.

“… Alright, go.

“But get back before it gets bright.

“Also, don’t let anyone see you going in or out of the mansion. That will make people start suspecting us.” Dynawood told me.

“Understood.” I nodded.

As expected, even though his attitude and words are rude, he seems to be actually worried about me.

Me causing suspicions to befall the mansion would be enough reason to kick me out, after all, so someone of his position shouldn’t need to trouble himself with giving me this kind of advice.

Oh well. Time is short, so let’s hurry.

“By the way, you look great.” I told him.

“Leave my appearance alone.” He replied.

I wasn’t serious about it. Not to mention that I’m not one to talk in this situation.

I know there are clothes that suit me better, and I would definitely choose them if I had a choice.

But this is all I have for now.

“Dyna, can you prepare some clothes for me?

“A dress isn’t ideal for nighttime activities. It restricts my movements and is heavy…” I told him.

“You can handle that yourself.” Dynawood replied.

“I’ll be in your care.” I said.

“You can handle that yourself.” Dynawood repeated.

Alright, this is enough. Let’s get going, quickly.

******

Once I left, I changed my glasses to the mask-type glasses.

Now, all my face and head are covered with some black leather, with my eyes being hidden behind dark-colored lens.

This is the first time I’ll be using this form.

No matter who sees me, they won’t ever find out that it’s me. This is the third form that is completely separated from who Eil or Elle is.

… Though I’ll try to not create a rumor about a pervert wearing a black dress and black mask while running around the city.

Ideally, I won’t be seen by anybody at all.

So… Let’s go.

******

I rushed out into the now-asleep lawless country and started surveying the surroundings.

But some time after I had started my survey, an unexpected incident occurred.

“A… A pervert?” The person muttered.

I was stunned.

I never thought that I’d run into someone who was wearing a mask that was similar to mine…
