I went out to the city on this day to do some political work.
　The streets of Pindos have become more vibrant recently, and it's fun to just wander around.

　More people, more things, more things.
　More than anything else, the number of people and things have increased, and the number of entertainment like street performers has increased.

　Even now, a female street performer who tied a fireball to the end of a string and twirled it around in a circle with her feet alone received a lot of applause.
　It was beautiful as a dance, so I threw more money at it.
　When I threw money, it encouraged other spectators to throw money as well.

　The woman bowed deeply to the spectators and was about to start a new trick.

'Does that really work?'
It's amazing how much better it works. One drop in your drink and you'll be good for the whole night. I've had it over ten times.
Hmm?

　A pair of men walked directly behind me.
　They weren't really distinctive in appearance, I was curious about their conversation.

　When I turned around, I saw that one of the two men moving away from me was holding a small glass bottle.

'Is it an aphrodisiac or a tonic? Maybe it's both.'

　How many times you can hold a woman in one night.
　Along with the hardness and length of the male organ, this is a major factor in a man's pride.

　A variety of medicines and magic have been developed in that direction since ancient times.
　If it really is "more than ten times in one night" as the man says, then it's pretty good.

　On the other hand, if it's that effective, there are people who are worried first when they hear about it.

'Yeah?　We're in a bit of a bind, aren't we?　I don't know what to think, but this is bad.

　The man who didn't have any drugs in his possession scowled and chuckled.

No, I'm serious. I've actually used them and they come from good sources.
Where did you say "properly"?
There's this whore over there, Oltia. He sold her to me.
Huh?　That Oltia.....

　The man who initially thought the aphrodisiac was eyebrow-raising, but when he heard that the source was Ortia, he instantly showed interest.

''........''

　I, on the other hand, was raising my eyebrows in a different way.

　　　　　☆

Welcome, Hermes. Just in time. Now it's four peas-- ouch, ouch, ouch!

　About the whorehouse, I treated Ortiz to an Umeboshi for saying such a thing at the opening right after I entered the room.
　I'm going to be the first to say that I'm not going to be the only one.
　The usual scent tickled my nostrils.

'As usual.'
It's true. They're more of a partner than a client.

　Hestia and Daphne were in the room.

'You were both there?'
I haven't been here in a while.
'It's been a long time since I've spoken to Hestia. We were having a girls' night out.

　I see, I nodded.

　Both of them were close to Ortizia, both of them being her 'sister' of sorts.
　Come to think of it, I had vaguely wondered which one of them was in a higher position, but now I have a general idea.

　Daphne appears to be a girl of about ten years old, but she is quite old in real life, as she is half elf and half dwarf.
　Probably they've known each other since the time Hestia was 'Hestia-chan'.

'What's the matter, Hermes-chan, looking at you two so seriously?

　Perhaps it was because she had loosened her umeboshi, but Ortizia acted as if the rush she had just made hadn't happened, and tilted her head slightly to ask.

'Oh, no.'
Okay.

　Noticing something, Ortizia clapped her hands with a pop.

'Sister Hestia is already retired, so it's not a four-pack, it's a threesome - ouch, ouch, ouch.

　I give her another strange but typical Ortiz joke, and I give her the Umeboshi again.
　This time, I grill her a little harder, with just enough strength to resonate to the core when she does it.

'We're as close as ever,'
....
Hestia doesn't have to be jealous, Hestia should be able to do her own thing.
I'm not jealous...
All right. We're going to leave now. He's not a stranger, so I stayed for a bit, but he's a proper guest, so we mustn't interrupt him.
Well....

　Daphne and Hestia nodded to each other and turned to get up and leave the room.

'No, you don't have to leave.'
Really?
"No, I knew it was a four-pack... that's not what it was...
No!

　Hestia blushes and squirms.
　She's pretending to be uncomfortable, but I don't dare to go into the oddly motivated one.

　I shove into them and stop them from leaving, then I look at Ortizia for a second.

　I looked straight at her face, her whole body.
　I remembered the feel of her hands when she'd done the two Umeboshes.

'They're weak and sweetly hidden in places. 'Well, this much.'
'Hermes?　What are you mumbling about?
Oltia. Close your eyes.
Wow, man.
It's good.

　The said Ortizia stopped as if she had been hit with a false impression.
　Then she smiled and poked my chest plate with her elbow.

'Are you finally going to do it, Hermes-chan?　I'm already hungry.

　Finally, after saying cheerfully, "I can't help it," Ortiz closed her eyes and turned her face upwards as she was told.
　It was a perfect, kissing face.

　I put my left hand on her cheek - and decapitated her forehead with my right hand.

'Hi!'
What?
It's a new kiss.

　Hestia is surprised, and Daphne reacts in a misaligned manner.

　In the next moment, a white object pops out of the back of Ortia's head.
　Bursting out with my deco pin, it tries to escape with an impatient look.

''Niga-san,''

　I took out my hand and gave it a gulp.
　Then, like a dog on a leash, it was pulled back to me.

　When it came back, I caught it firmly.

"Huh?　What am I... what are you doing?

　Ortiz rubbing her forehead, she looks around curiously.
　When Daphne and Hestia saw that action, they looked at what I was grabbing with an "aha" look on their faces.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.
'They are the lowest class of spirits. They haunt people and play tricks on them. They don't do much harm, but it's safer to get rid of them.
It's happening again. I haven't seen you around lately. I'm totally off-guard.

　Daphne sighed.

'You're well aware. She's obsessed.'

　Hestia asked with an impressed look on her face.

　You're here.
　Now when I say "I know it when I see it," he'll probably say "great" again.

　I came prepared, and said an answer that had nothing to do with my abilities.

'I heard about a man who had been sold aphrodisiacs by Ortia. Ortias doesn't take money for anything but whores, is that what you said?
What...?
'Strictly speaking, I don't take money except for my own services. Knowing that, I thought this was crazy.
Hermes....

　Oltia blushed even more than the 'kissing face' earlier, her eyes moistened and she stared at me.

　.........Huh?　Huh?
　Did I do something wrong?

It's a killing line.
Ichikoro. You shouldn't be here anymore.
You just need to take it easy, okay?

　Daphne and Hestia, for some reason, looked impressed and grinning, and left the room.

　Then Ortia hugged me and buried her face in my chest plate.

''Hermes-chan........''
Oh, Oltia?
I'm glad...

　Ortiz murmured faintly, which made me cringe.

　What?　Why?
　I didn't do anything, did I?

　After this, Ortizia served me insanely well.
