5 Getting an Inn and meeting Sanjouno Haruhime

Gazeff: Now that you have your identification papers, welcome to Orario, kid.

Reed: Thank you very much. If it is not too much a trouble to you, can you recommend me an inn to stay in?

Gazeff: Not a problem, kid. If you are looking for an inn, I'd say the Gate Inn is the best. Although, it is quite expensive, it serves good food and have clean beds there. Its not far from here, you know. Just walk for 5 minutes and you will see the inn with a yellow signboard. Just tell the innkeeper that I recommend you to her and she will give you an discount.

Reed: Thank you. Then, I'll be going now.

Gazeff: Have a nice stay in Orario.

Reed then follows the direction that Gazeff have given and soon enough, he sees the inn with the yellow signboard 'Gate Inn'. After entering the inn, he sees what seems to be a food hall with a counter on the opposite side of him. At that time, a young girl with great assets came and greet him.

???: Welcome to the Gate Inn. My name is Martha and how many nights do you want to stay?

Reed: Oh, my name is Reed. And how much would staying here cost?

Martha: It costs 6000 vails a month.

Reed: 'I know that I have astronomical amount of money but I want to use only a liitle of it'. Umm, Gazeff recommend this place to me.

Martha: Gazeff did? You should have say this earlier. Then, the cost will be 4500 valis a month. Would you like to have something here, by the way?

Reed: Yes, please. I'm hungry.

Martha: Then take a seat anywhere you like. I'll go and prepare something for you.

Reed: Ok then. I'll be waiting.

Martha then goes to the kitchen do prepare some food. 'What a nice lady she is' Reed thought and look around. The dining hall seems to be that of the medival times and the clothes that people from which he walked pass were that of medival times too. 'The anime does no justice in portraying the city. It is much better than from the anime itself. He was brought out of his thoughts when he sees Martha coming to his place with some food in her hands

Martha: Here you go. One boar steak, a bowl of vegetable soup, some rye breads and mead. You do drink right?

Reed: Yes I do. Although not too much. How much will it cost?

Martha: No need. It's on the house.

Reed: Oh okay then. Itadakimasu. He took a piece of boar meat and put it into his mouth. The meat tastes very delicous. He then try other foods and they are delicious on their own. In fact, he asked for seconds which he completely wipe all of it in a few minutes.

Reed: Thanks for the food. I'll cook you a meal someday.

Martha: You can cook? . . . Then, I'll be waiting for it.

Reed: You bet. By the way, can you show me where the 'Hostess of Fertility' is.

Martha: The Hostess of Fertility? I have heard that it is looking for a chef. Are you going to apply there?

Reed: Yes, I am. Well not that I will go there immediately.

Martha: You will go there the next day?

Reed:Yes.

Martha: Then how about I give you the directions when you are ready to go there.

Reed: That's a great idea. Thank you Martha. I'll be going out for now.

Martha: When will you get back?

Reed: By dinner I guess.

Martha: I'll see you at that time then.

Reed: Bye Bye.

Martha: Bye. Don't be late.

And so, Reed takes a stroll around the westen part of Orario. He sees people selling miscellaneous things and he also sees food stalls. One in particular stands out to him. The seller is a short girl with big assests, wearing a white one piece dress selling Jargamakun. Reed go and buy a serving from her making her beam with smile. As he walk all over the streets, he chanced upon a certain brothel. He thought 'Wait a minute. Isn't this the place where she is. Hmm, lets see if I can get her out of it. Ah, I'm going to use a lot of money again.' He then walks over to the brothel and is going to knock the door until he heard this,

??? : That bitch fainted again!!!

??? : Yeah I hope she dies!!!

??? : When will Ishtar-sama will get back from the Heavens...

??? : Yeah our family have been disbanded and we who remained loyal kept running a few of Brothels that survived with the few girls we had left...

'I knew it. It is her alright. Now let see if I can get this right.'

Reed : Hey two great seniors!!! could you please wait!!!

??? : Huh!!!!

??? : What do you want brat???

Reed : Please don't be like this... I want to discuss a job with you...

??? : I really hope it's something worth interrupting us...

??? : Therefore speak!!!!

Reed : First of all I'm Reed... I wish to buy a slave... I was told through the oaths that you guys are the best in this field!!!!

??? : I'm Rick and he's my brother in arms, Walter...

Walter : Since you were informed by us from the oaths that means no one knows our place...

Reed : I have to say you guys did a good job and I have heard about the myth of the girl that keeps passing out when a man comes to her... I wouldn't know that I came to the right place...

Rick : So since you know from our previous members and about that girl then what you said is true...

Walter : Then what's the job??

Reed : I wish to buy that girl from you guys...

Both of them got stunned on hearing this. And then they thought for a bit, that bitch has destroyed their reputation by a long range and they lost a lot of money, they didn't want her here anymore, since this guy is willing to buy her, then why not??

But first, they must confirm that they are talking about the same girl so they asked him about her looks, Reed realized that they are confirming if the girl he wanted to buy is the same girl they have...

Reed: I don't know her true name as they told me that she is totally useless, but she has long blonde hair, green eyes, and fox ears, she is also wearing a red kimono but not always...

Rick: Then we have the girl that you have spoken. Please come inside to negotiate the price.

Reed entered the building with the two guys and guided him towards the girl that he wanted and when they have entered the room they have left, they know that she has woken up. When she saw the three of them she panicked and hurriedly stood up in order to greet them again.. Reed smiled at this and Rick and Walter who saw that thought that perhaps they will be rich...

Reed : What's your name??

??? : Fuueeee eeehh it's it's Sanjouno Haruhime,

Reed : Sanjouno-san, it is a very nice name, isn't it?

She was stunned a bit when she heard that but quickly restored herself as she must greet him properly...

Reed saw her getting flattered for a moment and how she returned to normal, and thought 'Yep, that's her alright.'

Reed : So how much will it cost???

When Sanjouno heard that he wanted a go with her, she paled and almost black out again, but she froze when she heard the next words...

Rick : 300,000 valis

Walter : Take her or leave...

Without any hesitation, he took out a big bag containing 500,000 vails and said

Reed: Keep the change. You might need it to rebuilt your Familia when your goddess comes back. Oh, and please tell whoever told you to protect her that I have taken her to the 'Hostess of Fertility' and if she wants her back, she can meet me there. Now Sanjouno-san, follow me please.

Sanjouno: Fuueeeee, o-okay then.

Reed: Don't worry. I won't harm you or anything. I just want you to be free.

Sanjouno: Then, you don't buy me for....

Reed: Heavens no, I don't buy you for that. For now, lets get you somewhere to live and some nice and warm food...
