I went along as the babysitter, or attendant for his honor, of Relix who is chosen by God as the Yuusha, but it would be too uninteresting to talk between fellow guys for two weeks.
Even though I'm an attendant, most of the care for food, clothing and shelter was being taken care of by the people of the church and the monsters also appeared several times on our way, but those too were wiped out by the armed people from the church in the blink of an eye.
The only thing I could do was have a conversation with Relix. We're not close to each other, so we could only have bland conversations.
I wonder just why, but he was very interested about the extermination of monsters that I did just recently.
That day, for some reason the village chief gathered the villagers and I was left out about the meeting they had, but leaving that aside, the problem was the monsters that appeared near the farm. Anyway, those monsters eat anything as long as it's plant, so if left unattended, the crops that I was growing painstakingly would be destroyed. Moreover, the damage would likely to extend to the other farms, so I was struggling to get rid of the monster all day long.
Luckily, the meat of the monsters that attacked this time was edible, so it was a relief that my dining table became extravagant for the next few days after that.
Afterwards, it was decided that I will go to the Royal Capital with Relix, so I had my neighbors exchange the meat that I couldn't consume for money. The church will take care of my food until we reach the Royal Capital, so I thought it would be better to exchange it for money that I can use in the Royal Capital. Thanks to that, my pocket money is quite warm and It's nice to think that I gathered enough money to fulfill my ambition.
By the way, one of the villager asked me for a favor when I arrive in the Royal Capital, but I can probably do that later.
Now, we arrived safely in the Royal Capital 'Blesstia' without any particularly noticeable accidents.
Ah, I forgot to mention that this country where we live is called 'Arcus'. I don't know the origin of the name, but somehow it's one of the world's leading nations. I have no interest in it so far, so I don't know any more than that.
--- Anyway, Blesstia is a gorgeous and magnificent place as if my imagination was materialized.
Damn, there are a lot of people somehow. They are too numerous. And the buildings are huge. I've never seen a building that exceeds two stories until now.
I was overwhelmed by looking at the cityscape of the Royal Capital from inside the carriage, but I remembered my long-cherished ambition for coming here.
"Then without any delay, let's request an audience with the King for Yuusha-sama---"
"Ah, sorry, but I'll get off here."
" "... What?" "
Not caring about Relix and Pain who tilted their heads, I opened the carriage door.
"It won't be a problem even if I, a villager, am not there, especially in an audience with the King."
And unfortunately, I have lived a life unrelated to etiquette. It's different when it's Relix who is the Yuusha, but I'm certain that I would be in a lot of trouble if I caused a problem.
So, when we reached the Royal Capital, I quickly decided that I will act separately.
"If something happened, I'll drop by on the church in this city."
"Hey, wai---"
Pain said something, but I jumped out of the carriage without care and slipped into the crowds of people of the city.
Now then, I've now arrived in the royal capital, but I will try to fulfill my objective right away.
The reason why I wanted to come to the Royal Capital was not just because I longed for its magnificence and the King. That's right, everything is for this time.
"Let's go --- to the 'Red-light District'!"
--- I'm not kidding, I'm serious.
My main purpose for going to the Royal Capital was to pay a 'Prostitute' in the red-light district that I hear from rumors.
It is in order to complete a wonderful "first experience" as a man.
I did a preliminary investigation as much as possible.
On the way to the Royal Capital, I got various information from one of the people (male) who was accompanying Pain.
A man is a man, no matter how much of a priest he is. According to him, there seemed to be surprisingly those who were buying women with money to get rid of their accumulated libido.
The degenerate circumstances of the church don't matter at this time.
The important thing is to have fun with a beautiful prostitute (Onee-san) in the Red-light District.
My pocket money is quite warm.
In addition to my original savings, I exchanged the meat from the monsters I hunted into money to my neighbors and I have also already received the reward as the babysitter of Relix the day before we reached the Royal Capital.
Because I will live in the Royal Capital for a while, I can't spend the entire amount, but just the amount after deducting my living expenses is still a considerable amount. According to my research, I should be able to pay a pretty good prostitute.
And, after completing my "first experience", I will live in the Royal Capital as I see fit until Relix departs on a journey to subjugate the Demon King and return to the village when I find the right time.
Such being the case, I immediately head towards the Red-light District that I heard in conversations.
From the magnificent space on the main street, I turned towards the back alley and went forward inside. As I went away from the distance impressiveness, somehow a cold air touches my skin.
When I went further inside, I arrived on a slightly wide space. It's difficult to say, but it's a pretty dirty place. When I took a closer look, I can see some people sitting on the side of the road, drinking alcohol from broad daylight and some are lying down here and there.
I often hear rumors, but the atmosphere is quite gloomy unlike the impressiveness of its surface.
I can't be hindered by this. I have a grand ambition in my heart.
My destination --- the Red-light District is a place that goes further ahead from here. This is nothing more than an "entrance" to the other side of the city.
I snorted strongly with a "Hmph!" and fired myself up.
--- I'm a brave man! I don't have time to be scared!
"Please, stop!"
--- When I was thinking about such things, I heard a woman screaming.
"Hmm?"
At a place ahead of me, I found a woman wearing a hood who got entangled with men who looks like an ill-bred.
--- For now, let's beat those bastards.
What, there's too little information?
You see, I think it was clearly a situation where a woman is being attacked by the guy.
Even if she had an ugly face like a disfigured face or an ugly one that can only be described as cursed, I'm instead sure about her gender. Even if she's so ugly, saving a woman if she's in trouble is what a man should do. At least, I was taught that and I also believe so myself.
If in case it was a man, perhaps I would still think of helping, but I'm sure my motivation would be a wide difference.
After all, if I'm planning to help anyway, wouldn't it be better if it's a girl?
