Chapter 23 Lower district

I walked towards the door and exited the adventurer guild, this was one of the places I wasn't coming back to in these clothes, I should have worn something more common.

I'm not even sure I have commoner clothes, since I'm done with that I wanted to visit one more place before leaving as it was already evening, which was the red light district.

I'm not going there to do anything, I just wanted to see how it was, in my last world, I had never been to a red light district, I wasn't even sure there was one in the small town I'm staying, and in this world males were something of a rarity, so why would they pay to sleep with a woman when they can just get one anywhere else for free.

As I walked down the street I brought out the map I bought earlier and stared at it, I just needed to take two turns and I'd be in the red light district, I placed the map in my pocket as I continue to look around.

Everyone's eyes were on me as I walked forward, not because I was a male but because of the clothes that I wore, my clothes screamed money and soon I noticed a girl following me.

At first, I thought she was just heading in the same direction as me but then I turned the other street and she followed, to reach the red light district, they were an alley which was a shortcut cut or I had to follow the long way.

To tell the truth, I came here looking for a little action so I took the alley, I had my hands on my sword as I walked through the alley and I noticed two other girls were standing in front of the other way point.

I could already hear footsteps behind me and then I stopped and turned around with a smile on my face.

"What the hell are you smiling about, take that steel you call a sword and toss it towards me" the girl spoke in a hoarse voice hoping to intimidate me.

I acted like I was afraid and then I turned around and saw the other two girls walking towards me with swords in their hands.

"Where do you think you're going pretty boy" one of the girls muttered as she came close.

"I said drop the sword" the girls shouted and I flinched in the most natural way possible, I wanted them to think I was afraid.

"You can't do this to me, I've seen your faces, my father would..."

"Shut your mouth, your father isn't here now, and you'll do as I say, or you won't be able to talk to your father again, first how much do you have?" The first girl asked.

"I don't have anything, I don't have money" I quickly spoke, turning my head back and forth between them and it was working, all the girls had their guards down, and the two behind me had their swords in their sheaths and they stood there with their arms crossed.

"Show me your pockets?"

"If I give you money, would you let me go?" I asked.

"So you do have money, I thought you didn't have anything, lying isn't something you should do," the girl said as she began walking towards me.

I chuckled softly and the girl stopped, "What are you laughing about?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to experience being robbed in this world, and I'll just say, you girls are beginners, I thought you wanted my sword" I spoke as I unsheathed the sword.

The girl quickly jumped back and also took out her sword, the other two at the back also took their swords out, and I was in the center so the girls were smiling till I charged towards the first girl who was alone.

The girl flinched and before she could move her sword, I was already in front of her, they were truly amateurs.

I stopped in front of her before swinging my sword towards her neck slowly, I swung slow enough for her to react and moved her sword to block and after she did I pushed her backwards and she fell to the ground.

The other two behind me saw her and without sparing a glance at their friend they dashed towards the other side of the alley leaving her alone.

"Please...wait please" she muttered as I squatted in front of her, her hands were shaking and her sword on on the ground but mine was still in my right hand.

"What were you planning to do with me? I know what you were planning so if you lie, I'm going to split you into tiny pieces" I spoke and a shiver ran down her spine.

I had no idea what she wanted to do, I just wanted to scare her into telling the truth.

"I-I'm very sorry, please don't kill me, I followed you around since you were a noble, I wanted to rob you of your belongings, that's all I swear, please don't kill me" she screamed with tears running down her eyes.

To be honest I was feeling kind of bad, I didn't expect to scare her like this to the point that she was crying, but it was her fault for picking on the wrong person.

I stood up and sheath my sword, turned around, and continued towards my destination, the day was getting darker and soon my mother would send the whole staff to look for me so I had to hurry.

I exited the alley and as I turned around the girl was still there on the ground, I'm sure I didn't injure her so I wonder why she can't...

A hand touched my shoulder and I quickly placed my hands on my sword as I turned around to see a female staring at me.

"I'll pay you any amount for you to come with me" she muttered before I could say a word.
