Chapter 203 - Meeting Haruhime.
🕑 Added 2025-02-20 00:09:08 +0000 UTCSome time earlier
I left the mansion and headed to the Ishtar Familia's house. I had told Aisha to talk to Ishtar about Haruhime, but I wasn't sure if she had done it. I'd only find out once I got there.
I entered the entertainment district, where many people were on the streets. Normally, it would be quite empty during the afternoon and start getting crowded at night, but today, there were already a lot of people drinking around.
'Probably adventurers taking a day off.'
I couldn't help but notice the many eyes on me. I even attract the attention of men, after all.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not… It means I'm very handsome, but it also means that men might approach me wanting something more. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.
Lost in unnecessary thoughts, I arrived at the Ishtar Familia's house. As soon as I reached the entrance, two women standing guard greeted me.
"Welcome."
"Welcome. The Goddess is waiting for you."
The two Amazons bowed their heads in respect.
"Thank you," I said and walked inside. I made my way down the long corridor before heading to Ishtar's room. When I entered, Ishtar was sitting on her throne, and Aisha was standing in the middle of the room.
The two seemed to have been talking before I arrived.
"Welcome, Luan!" As soon as she saw me, Ishtar quickly stood up from her throne and ran toward me. "And you, get out of here right now! What are you doing there?" Ishtar said, irritated with Aisha.
Aisha was about to leave, but I called out to her. "Aisha, it's fine, you can stay."
"Luan!?" Ishtar widened her eyes in surprise.
"I'm not here to do that with you today. Aisha, did you talk to her about that?"
Before Aisha could answer, Ishtar spoke. "You're talking about Haruhime?" she asked, clearly annoyed by the situation. I understood what was happening here. Ishtar didn't want me to meet Haruhime.
"That's right. And Aisha also told you that if you didn't let me see Haruhime, I would stop coming to see you, didn't she?"
Of course, I wouldn't actually do that. Ishtar is too important a character for me to just set aside like that. Besides, the Ishtar Familia is powerful—I don't want to lose control over that.
I would only do it for a few days, just to drive Ishtar a little crazy.
"But…" Ishtar's eyes widened even more.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you because of her." I raised my hand and touched Ishtar's face, caressing her. As expected, Ishtar smiled and enjoyed my touch. It's easy to manipulate someone who likes you this much.
Looking at me passionately, Ishtar said, "Alright, I’ll allow you to see her. Aisha will take you to her. But afterward, you'll have to reward me, understood?"
"I'll think about it." I stopped caressing her face and then looked at Aisha. "Let's go, I want to see her."
"Alright. But just so you know, she’s someone complicated to deal with…"
"It's fine, let's go."
I already knew how Haruhime behaved, so I didn’t see a problem.
"I'll be waiting for you here, dear!" Ishtar called out as I left the room with Aisha. Once we were outside, Aisha looked at me and smirked.
"The way you acted in there was so fake."
"Was it that obvious? I had to do it so she would agree."
"I don’t know how the Goddess didn’t see through your act."
"I didn’t lie to her, after all."
I never actually lied to her—I just acted like I was really into her.

We walked for several minutes. We climbed some stairs and walked through a few corridors until we reached a room. As soon as we arrived, I saw a woman sitting on the bed, her back facing the door.
The woman in question had long, golden hair that immediately caught my attention. But what stood out the most were her ears and the tail resting on the bed.
"Haruhime," Aisha called.
The woman turned around, and our eyes met.
Green eyes, emerald-colored. Beautiful eyes.
Wow… I let out a small sound of admiration.
Haruhime smiled when she saw Aisha. "Is he a client?" she asked. Despite her smile, she wasn't happy. I knew she didn’t like this job, so of course, I wouldn't force her to do anything with me.
"No, I’m not a client," I said before Aisha could respond. She turned to me, clearly surprised by my words. She had definitely assumed I was here to buy Haruhime’s services.
But that wasn’t the case.
"Yes, he’s not a client," Aisha confirmed. "He's just a friend who wanted to meet you."
"A friend?"
"Yes. My name is Luan, it's a pleasure. You're even more beautiful than I imagined. Definitely one of the most gorgeous women I've ever met."
Hearing my words, Haruhime didn’t blush. She probably thought I was just saying that to flatter her. But I was telling the truth—Haruhime was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Haruhime. I assume you already know who I am."
"Yes, I already knew about you."
"Then you must also know that I…"
"That you're a prostitute? Yes, I know. But that's not why I'm here—I just wanted to talk to you. I'm interested in you."
"Talk? Are you joking?"
"No, of course not." I walked closer to the bed and looked into Haruhime’s eyes. "I really just want to talk and get to know you, so don't worry." I was honest with her, and she believed me.
"Should I leave?" Aisha asked. She still wasn’t convinced. She probably still thought I wanted to sleep with Haruhime.
"No, you don't need to leave," I said.
"..."
After that, I tried to talk with Haruhime. I acted as friendly as possible, but I couldn’t get much information out of her. In other words, I failed to earn her trust.
Well, it’s just our first meeting.
