Water dragon.

( Yuuki's POV )

Explore a dungeon, kill monsters and find treasures, how could anyone not enjoy that, without realizing it I spent several hours dungeon diving and I only stopped when the crystals overflowed from my makeshift bag, obviously when I came out of the dungeon with so much loot I caught the attention of many.

All the adventurers that came out of the dungeon went to the same building and I deduced that this was the place where these crystals are exchanged for money, Inside, a friendly receptionist exchanged my crystals for a small fortune in Valis, which was the currency of this world, The receptionist also asked me if I belonged to a family and if I wanted to register in the adventurer's guild but I told her that I was just passing through the city.

Before I left as I was new in the city I asked her to recommend a place where they had good food and she told me about a bar called the hostess of fertility, I thanked her for the information and headed there without delay.

//////////

When I arrived at the place, there weren't many people and I had no problem getting a table.

Ryuu: welcome, I'll be your waitress Ryuu.

When I sat down a beautiful elf girl came over to take my order, she had a serious and stoic expression but still, she was quite cute, As this was my first time seeing an elf I couldn't help but stare at her ears, which she didn't appreciate but she kept her professional attitude.

Ryuu: what can I give you

Yuuki: what can I buy with this?

I couldn't read the menu so I just put in a sack full of Valis and Ryuu raised her eyebrow slightly.

Ryuu: everything on the menu... Twice.

Yuuki: one of those please and a glass of water.

Ryuu looked at me as if I was joking and I smiled wryly, when she left I decided to listen to the conversations at the other tables, These kinds of places are perfect for getting information and hearing rumors but I ended up disappointed I only heard drunk people bragging about their exploits and arguing who was the sexiest goddess, at least the food was good, many looked at me surprised while I ate but this was easy for any Sekirei, it would be funny to see their expressions if they saw Kuno or Chiho eat.

When I finished eating I put in a second bag of Valis and left Ryuu confused again.

Ryū: what is that?

Yuuki: an apology, I'm new to the city and I've never seen an elf before, sorry for staring.

I left the bar to meet Haruhime but I stopped when I heard Ryuu's voice.

Ryuu: Hey wait.

I turned around and I saw an object flying directly towards me, when I caught it I saw that it was a sack of money.

Ryuu: I don't need that, you don't have to apologize to me.

She turned around while I looked at the bag of Valis before she returned to the bar I moved at high speed and before she could react I opened her palm and put the Valis bag on it.

Yuuki: I don't need it either, if you don't want it give it to whoever, just don't give it back to me.

Ryuu was startled with wide eyes and before she could protest I teleported away.

//////////

The sun had barely set and the pleasure district was strangely quiet, as I was standing in front of the brothel I heard the sound of thunder and suddenly it started to rain.

When I entered Haruhime's room she was waiting for me with a sad smile, I took a step forward and she took two steps back and bowed her head.

Haruhime: Yuuki-sama thank you very much for talking to me and for caring about me, that made me very happy but I think it's better for everyone if you forget about me.

Without saying anything I took another step forward and she took a step back again.

Haruhime: When I was little I hoped that a hero would take me by the hand and take me to the world I always wanted, but that's just a dream, I don't deserve to be saved.

I kept walking and Haruhime backed away until she ended up against the wall.

Haruhime: That story you told me was about you, right? You have people waiting for you, a whore like me will only be your downfall please just leave me behind.

She kept her head bowed as she spoke and her tears were falling on the floor.

Yuuki: I told you that I was going to listen to your answer, I don't care what is best for others or for me, just think of yourself, Any dream or wish you have, let me hear it and I will make it come true.

I hugged Haruhime and stroked her head and ears, she lost the strength in her legs and we both sat on the ground while Haruhime cried her heart out.

Haruhime: Yuuki-sama you are very kind.

Yuuki: no, I'm just selfish.

Haruhime: I don't want to be a bother.

Yuuki: you're not.

Haruhime: I don't want to be locked up here.

Yuuki: you don't belong here.

Haruhime: ...please take me with you!

Yuuki: that's all I need to hear.

With one hand I destroyed Haruhime's collar and with the other, I blew off the roof of the place letting the rain in but it didn't fall on us, all the water came together to form a four-armed dragon fifteen meters high, I lifted Haruhime into a princess carry which made her blush but by the sway of her tail, I knew she was enjoying it.

Yuuki: Haruhime, do you know which floor the goddess Ishtar is on?

In the center of the pleasure district, there was a tower where the goddess Ishtar lived, I just didn't know on which floor so I asked Haruhime, she made a thoughtful face and pointed to one of the upper floors of the tower, the water dragon followed her finger and shot a powerful jet of water that cut the top of the tower, when we saw the tower fall, scared Haruhime hid the finger she was pointing with and I had a huge smile having given my best farewell.
