Phew - doesn't it feel satisfying to just release a big load (of words) like this? Yea, this chapter is kind'a longer than the others but that was also caused by the last one being shorter... Not that I plan them out that way it just seems to be how the chapters have ended up so far.

We'll be meeting many new faces and you'll get what a lot of you have probably been waiting for, training arc, and something more of you have been looking for, lore!

Also for those people who weren't happy about how the poles have been but I'm afraid majority vote supported them staying as is. This story was going to be fairly kinky as it was anyway though... I'll make sure to put warnings in later chapters for those who only read smut for the plot (not bullying, I do the same sometimes but where there is a joke I shall make it)!

Currently a certain pair were attracting a lot of eyes on them as they traveled through the main-street towards the center of the city.

The reason for this though…

“Let me down, I’m all messy and your clothes will get stained! Even if it’s not a lot, fabric so soft probably costs loads!” <Eel>

“Mmm~ nope~! Plus our clothes as {Prostitute}s gets stained by a lot worse than a bit of mud.” <Ali>

“There’s more than a little mud - I’m covered head to toes in dried blood!” <Eel>

“A bit of blood is to be expected as well, especially for those of us that let our clients get away with a bit more force. Plus, you’ll probably be shattered after all that.” <Ali>

Currently Ali had the bloodied Eel sit on her left arm, cradling Eel’s side against herself, while her right hand reached down to support her feet. Eel in response could only wrap her arms around the woman's neck while allowing her to support her own weight.

“Plus it’ll be faster like this instead of relying on those little feet~” <Ali>

“Urgh…” <Eel>

Ali seemed more than a little gleeful at the little girl's shame, as evident by the warm smile plastered on her face that caused more than one pair of blushed cheeks,  jostling the feet in her right hand as she teased the poor little girl. Really it was mostly to let the girl rest and to avoid having her walk barefooted anymore.

Saying it like this was more fun though~.

Eel just sand into Ali’s shoulder while keeping her eyes on the ground as it passed below. Occasionally hearing mentions of ‘a monster’ or a ‘whore’ but she was too focused on her rosy cheeks and the warmth of the one she was hanging off like a koala.

“So, I’m assuming you don’t want to work as a {Prostitute} but if you want I can instead train you in some other things I know. I may not look it but I’m at least as strong as that dragon I believe - in rank at least.” <Ali>

“I wouldn’t-... I’ll still help out, I don’t want to just receive all this for free, though I’m not sure if I really want to use a spear - seems kinda wimpy for a {Hero} to just poke some people with a sharp stick… ” <Eel>

She pouted at the assumption; but then she remembered everything she had said up to that point and realized that she probably would’ve been afraid and refused the offer if she was told she had to work as a {Prostitute} in the brothel…

<Maybe for a {Hero} I’m too close minded? Maybe I need to think for myself what is really good and bad… A {Hero} that freely understands others opinions…>

“Fufufu~- Keh! what was that for!” <Eel>

As she was giggling at her own thoughts - a smug smile on her face of course - she felt her feet losing their support as suddenly she received a flick to the forehead causing her left hand to retreat from Ali’s neck to support her in her moment of need.

“Sorry~ you just looked so cute being so chuffed with yourself that I couldn’t help but take advantage of it.” <Ali>

Ali not even hiding her real reasons for this one, happily laughing as the girl in her arms pouted and hugged her neck tiger in order to not let Ali see her face. Not that she minded a closer hug with the little girl and she could still see those elongated (crimson) ears.

“Anyway, we should be arriving soon. I don’t mind letting you take advantage of me and I can say for sure none of my girls would either but I suppose we really could do with the help… I guess that’s fair. Oh, and, I think you underestimate a spear a bit…” <Ali>

The woman chuckled in a somewhat sinister manner which made the little girl shiver…

***

It only took a few more minutes for Ali & Eel to arrive at their destination.

“We’re here - welcome to my family~” <Ali>

Eel was surprised but not because they arrived but rather because the road she was looking at was still stone (she hadn’t released Ali from her hug until now thus had been looking behind them). Not only was it fully paved but there seemed like many larger buildings with more embellishments - not as big as the adventurers guild but most were two stories which she hadn’t seen till today!

Well, she hadn’t seen any buildings from the outside till she escaped the orphanage yesterday but it wasn’t a lie…

Letting go of Ali from her choke hold, she would slowly be lowered to the ground to take in the sight of ‘Elizabeth’s Paradise Brothel’ - or at least that’s what she assumed the fancily painted, wooden sign above the large double doors as she couldn’t read. The sign was just a show of how high-class this place must be as the art on it was very high class - having a white background but pink hue around the letters to make sure they could be made out from the beautifully done art behind it. The ‘i’ was the simplest with just a little love heart for the dot while the ‘b’ would be a womans rump - facing to the side with a hand resting upon it as if she were showing it off and although her head would be cut off there would be a bit of golden bush poking from the front of the girl. The ‘d’ in ‘Paradise’ on the other hand would be a woman's breasts - bit larger than average - shown off in a similar manner but with her hands covering her nipples under her open palms but her head was cut off before it could be seen and it seemed far less detailed.

Lastly, was the name of the type of business and it didn’t disappoint. A very familiar woman would be lying on her side with her back facing the street to have the ‘B’ be formed out of her butt with her hand resting on her rear as it to make sure nothing was shown while the 

‘o’ would be made from her open mouth - tongue flopping down as her mouth was in such detail you could practically hear the soft sounds of her gooey spit oozing from those modest lips.

Of course, the last girl on the sign was Ali’s own modest rump, Eel would just be staring up at the very erotic and very suggestive sign while doing an impression of a tomato - aided greatly by the dried blood on her scalp.

“If you like the sign so much we can put you up onto it~.” <Ali>

Being brought back to the world of the living by that teasing but kind voice followed by a chuckle she would shake her head. She didn’t understand why she felt so heated but certainly, there was no reason for her to ever go up on it. It’s not like she was planning to work there permanently.

But she had to ask...

“Why is the middle one so much less detailed that the other two?” <Eel>

It wasn’t badly done - far better than anything the brothel in the slums had and likely cost more as well - but it simply didn’t compare to the other two hyper detailed ones.

“Ah, so that’s why you were staring, for a second I thought you may have liked me~.” <Ali>

Teasing once again but sharply moving on before either of them had a chance to think about that one.

“The two on each of the corners are each modeled off two of our best representatives out of our {Prostitute}s. Guess you could say we’re the highest ranked among the girls and we just don’t have a third to fit in the center. Oh, one on the right is me and the one on the left is my best friend and I guess the secretary who manages while I’m out.” <Ali>

To that, all Eel could do was nod along.

The sign was hardly the outlier of quality as in front of them would be a gate slightly longer, same height as the door - being metal coloured a soft, silvery salmon colour with a heart where the keyhole for the locking is. Between the bars would be beautifully decorated with vines and roses that were actually just a part of the gate which was painted with great attention to detail. These were so plentiful it was very hard to see past them without resting your face on the gate.

Around the whole area was a 5 foot wall - not too tall but no way some kids were going to peek in - made from cobblestone sanded down to be smooth so as to not hurt or be climbable giving it a nice natural appearance along with the gate. Almost as if nature had taken over this place of lust.

Ari soon walked up to the expensive looking gate and pushed a key in, after a satisfying ‘click’ she pushed on it to let it come open easily showing they also were very happy to spend that little bit extra on some oil… Except oil was VERY expensive - even an orphan knew this!

What was now laid out in front of her was a nice cobbled path leading up to the double doors into the brothel - a nice rich brown wood with a similar floral pattern from the gate etched in then filled with that salmon metal. The grass around the path and surrounding the building was a healthy shade of green with the soft morning due glimmering off the short blades of green.

The building itself was two floors - each about a meter bigger than a story (four meters) to give plenty of head room. Many smoothed, cobbled pillars supported the wooden walls while the second floor overhang from the first to about half the total visible depth of the pillars. The pillars would even be embellished in the same manner of the doors. The roof wouldn’t be visible to either of the pair but would in fact be accessible with a set of stairs and would be a cobbled stone with thick stone walls that went just up past the hips. No way someone was going to fall off by accident with how much clearance the thick walls gave - drainage vents were on the bottom of the walls to remove any rain water of course.

Overall, the building felt very warm yet at the same time high-class. 

It was obvious a lot of money and thought went over many of the intricate details of the building - hell they even had glass windows within the wooden ‘+’ frames. Eel couldn’t help but let out a little sight at the beautifully made building.

“Pretty…” <Eel>

This was met with a warm chuckle.

“While thank you, the girls and I do put a lot of effort after I got the deed to the land to keep our status as the number one brothel in the area - who knows maybe it may even be the best in all of the country~.” <Ali>

All Eel could do was nod along to that.

***

Entering through the double doors was what looked like a higher-middle to high-class bar. In front of Eel would in fact be a bar counter with many bottles of liquids behind on a wall. Magic runes on the end of the shelves glowing a soft icy blue. A kitchen area seemed to be accessible behind that through an entrance right beside the bar.

The padded chairs and the tables would be well sturdy but would have similar decorations to that of doors. Those stone pillars that seemed to support the outside also jutted out along the walls in an even manner but there would be some parts that set it more aside from a regular bar like the one at adventurers guild.

To the left wall several paintings - each with a girl's face and naked bust on display - hung with another showing their bent over rears. Their hands spread their ass cheeks apart, exposing everything private about these girls for anyone who just walked in. There would even be a little chalkboard under each but once again - Eel couldn’t read. She could tell that the work of these paintings was just as good as it was on the sign if way less suggestive and more to the point. 

<The girls seem to have wry or nervous smiles but didn’t seem overly unwilling… That ones a bit different and is face palming and seemed to be sighing. Based on the butt I think she’s supposed to be Ali’s best friend? Some even seem to be having a bit for fun by making a funny face or- Why has Ali put so many of her fingers in her poop chute and letting that white pee flow out?! That’s disgusting!> 

The fact that someone as inexperienced in the ways of the world like Eel could make out the girls expressions to such an extent spoke volumes to the quality… Though she had a question she wanted to ask desperately about a certain Half-Elf’s questionable actions, although the little girl didn’t seem so disgusted so much as morbidly curious, it would have to wait.

“Oh? Who’s this little one Ali?” <?>

Sitting in front of them was the ‘supposed best friend’ except she had a bit of a difference than she did on both the sign and the picture.

She would have lightly tanned skin with elongated ears (seemingly a {Wood-Elf}, an Elf who finds {Alchemist} easier to pick up as well as various related magics)  with hazel hair falling just past her shoulders, tied into a low hanging ponytail. Her hazel brown eyes were sharp showing her intellect and would be peering through a set of square frames with glass sitting on a wide, flat based ‘U’ but there seemed to be a softness in those shape eyes.

She would only wear a typical sexy, front clip, black bra to support her big breasts - or at least they were in the picture - but her breasts now seemed uncomfortably bloated against within her bra while clear wet patched formed on the center of each breast. Over her shoulders would be an open bed-robe of a nice mahogany and while she probably was wearing something to cover up her lowers; it wouldn’t be visible.

This was because her exposed flat stomach was no longer flat as the {Wood-Elf} would have a heavily bloated belly - her belly button standing proud on top that mountain that shrouded her lower.

“Ah, Lisa, what are you doing down here so early! It’s only like 4 in the morning!” <Ali>

Ali ran up to rest the back of her left hand on the woman’s forehead.

“Morning sickness flared up so I was forced to wake up… Oh but you don’t have to worry K-” <Lisa>

“I know, I know, Kee brought you down here for some air and has quickly gone to get you something to eat and snack on - likely asking you what you wanted first. Jeez, it’s like you're just rubbing it in my face with how she’s on your call day and night. Though I can’t say I envy how hard the pregnancy has hit you…” <Ali>

Lisa would just sigh and shake her head.

“It makes you wonder why people still want me… It was the worst when I was eating Kee-” <Lisa>

“Child in the room!” <Ali>

However, while the adults were talking about their own thing Eel would’ve already sneaked up to the {Wood-Elf} and rested her small hands on her thigh while looking up and inspecting her.

“Wah~! I’ve never seen a fat Elf before!” <Eel>

Was her thoughts on the matter.

Silence filled the room before soon the laughter of the two women would follow. All Eel could do was tilt her head and wonder what was so funny. This garnered the {Wood-Elf} to slowly pat the girls head.

“Although I’m sure some Elf has eaten enough to be fat, I am not one of them. My tummy is like this because I’m holding a baby inside me so they can grow big and strong. This is called pregnancy. When they come out of me, as their mother, it’s called ‘birthing’ or ‘giving birth’.” <Lisa>

The woman sounded mature like Ali but instead of kindness she had a bit of strictness to her - like what Eel imagined a teacher would be like.

At the moment Eel showed a look of realization the two ‘Elves’ in front of her thought she simply understood, nodding their heads to her before continuing on with their own conversations. While it wasn’t wrong there was a bit more understanding than they could’ve thought there would be.

<Oh, so that’s what was going on with my mother - she gave birth to me…>

A wry smile appeared for a second as she remembered the times she cared about so much before being broken out of it again as another woman entered.

This one would be a {Black-Wolf} with messy black hair that fell to her waist with a bushy black tail poking out. She would have slender black eyes that would peer into the room while she held two plates upon her palms. One would have a plate would have red meat with a side of peanut butter while the other would just be a tea set.

She was also wearing underwear like Lisa’s (hers were white_ with an apron on her front. It would have ‘Eat My’ with a peach sewn on but with a ‘*’ in the peach - seemed to be manually done with some spare threads but the quality was still higher than Eel’s own outfit. Though the meaning of the innuendo went over the little girl.

The woman would have a fairly slender yet muscular frame with average size overall but  shorter than the two elves - at 5’4 - though considering her race that was just average as well. Seeing two extra faces as well as the {Wood-Elf}s she would have crimson cheeks as her ears lowered.

<Cu~te~!>

Although Eel’s thought, she wasn’t alone in said thought.

“Do I really need to wear this apron…” <?>

She said while placing the plates in front of the pregnant woman, Eel looked up at Ali who made a slightly disgusted face at the combination on the plate before looking back to the pair. Lisa wouldn’t pay attention to anything other than the plate which she scoffed down at surprising pace with a surprising amount of elegance.

“Yes, it’s vital my beautiful Kee because- I may not be able to move around very much right now but I can at least admire you from where I’m sitting.” <Lisa>

The wolf girl would blush intensely before lowering her head onto the woman's thighs where she would receive head pats from the {Woof-Elf}. Unfortunately the wolf was too simple to see the bait and switch the Elf had performed to arrive at this point and she just enjoyed her life in that moment.

<She’s kind of simple…>

Was the opinion of the pair watching but soon the big question came up.

“So who is this little miss?” <Lisa>

“Ah - right! This is Elizabeth Jr, Elisabeth's daughter. She decided to use her mother’s nickname and she’ll be working as an extra pair of hands while she learns things not directly related to this job… She was also the cause of that light last night.” <Ali>

Lisa’s face went through a series of expressions before resting on a serious one.

“Well alright, you are the boss and here is better than out there and by the looks of things we misunderstood her situation.” <Lisa>

Lisa then turned towards Eel. Her face softened but still strict.

“Hello Eel. I’m Lisa and assist Ali with running this Brothel - I’ll probably be teaching you a lot of things along but likely not as many as with Ali. I’m not soft like her though so don’t expect to slack.” <Lisa>

Eel found herself nodding while Ali just chuckled warmly in the background. But she wasn’t the only one that warmed up as Lisa did the exact same as she looked down at Kee who had already fallen asleep on her lap.

“This lovable wolf is my girlfriend Kee.” <Lisa>

To this she got a head tilt.

“So she’s your friend as well? But I thought you and Ali were best friends but you seem to get along better with Kee.” <Eel>

“Ah, a sharp one. I should’ve expected this, you se-” <Lisa>

“They’re just-” <Ali>

“She’s old enough to know about at least this much Ali - you’ve only met her for a few hours, stop smothering the girl.” <Lisa>

As Ali tried to explain the situation in a more ‘open’ fashion she was told off by Lisa which caused her to shrink back and lower her head gently. Allowing Eel to see exactly which big sister in this place held the power.

Lisa sharply continued.

“You see, when two people feel strongly for each other that they don’t want to be without one another can commit to a special type of relationship. You know what a marriage is between a man and a woman right? Well it’s one level below that for couples of different genders. Me and Kee share those feelings being women. This is called love. It’s more popular for men to share such feelings for each other but in this place no one really cares about who loves who for what reasons. We can’t marry but if I could I would make her mine.” <Lisa>

Her face was very serious but Eel didn’t really seem scared, rather she was interested in these feelings she spoke of. Even as Lisa showed herself to be slightly clingy to the end she wasn’t pushed away. She just looked down at Kee who was softly breathing with closed eyes - not even paying attention to Lisa’s hand that had (at some point) slipped under the clothes to grab at the wolf’s breast to fondle her.

Lisa quickly got a hungry look on her face as she looked at the wolf. Looking back at the pair Lisa would speak up again.

“Little Eel will need to meet up with the other girls shortly - especially Emily as it’ll be best to have them dorm together since they’re both seven and Emily is quite… Lonely. I think it would do the two some good to get together so we’ll gather everyone up and explain a few things to them. Before that you take her to get washed up and maybe show her the shrine around back.” <Lisa>

This was met with a soft sigh and a ‘I knew this would happen’ from Ali before she nodded and took Eel’s hand.

Meanwhile, Eel would just use this time between traveling the wood panel halls to think about the interactions she had with the funny pair.

<This place seems… Nice. I think I like it here.>

Nodding to her thoughts as a chipper smile soon appeared on her face.
