Extra 16: Gate (5)

5 days later, a huge pilgrimage of humanoid creatures was walking in the direction of the former village that served as home for the [Rabbit Warriors].

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Mizari-san?" - A cat girl asked as she cocked her head to the side, confused by the decision of the leader of her group.

"Of course, this is an opportunity for us" - replied Mizari, a tall, blonde woman with large breasts and two white wings coming out of her back.

"I share Mizari's opinion, it's not every day we hear how a god who can protect us, has come down to the world" - replied another girl, only she was human - "I just hope he doesn't discriminate against us for not being [Warrior Beasts]."

"I don't think so, though we'll find out before long" - muttered Mizari as she walked seductively swaying her hips, a habit she developed from working as a prostitute for years - "I wonder what kind of person he'll be?"

"I don't know, I just hope he doesn't look down on us for our work" - said another girl as the others lowered their heads.

Mizari said nothing in response, she just kept silent as the group continued to move forward.

A few hours later, the group finally reached their destination, only to be surprised to see what appeared to be a small town with huge walls.

"Impossible, I've been to this place before, and it wasn't like this" - said a tiger man as he rubbed his eyes to make this illusion disappear - "It's not an illusion."

The group slowly advanced towards the door, only to see how Tyuule, the former queen of the [Rabbit Warriors] tribe, stood next to a man who left the pilgrims frozen.

He was handsome, tall and with a well-defined body, but what surprised a certain group, was that he had two long white fox ears sticking out on his head, and ten beautiful tails of the same color with black tips, wagging behind him.

"Kurama-sama" - muttered the pilgrims as they fell to the ground on their knees. They had heard the rumors of the man's appearance, but seeing him directly was a far greater shock.

Even Mizari and the other prostitutes, gazed in awe at this handsome man.

"Welcome to [Samsara]" - said Kurama with a small smile on his lips as he saw everyone who had arrived - "In this place, opportunities have to be taken with your own hands, and it doesn't matter your past, only your present."

Those present were completely speechless as they looked at the white-haired man.

"It doesn't matter if you were slaves, prostitutes, merchants, soldiers, or normal people, here you all have the same chances, you just have to take them and do the best you can with them" - Kurama continued as the doors behind him, slowly opened, showing a beautiful city that seemed to shine because of how clean it was - "Now, I want you to form a line and come in one by one to tell what you are good at. We will give you some options to be able to work on that you can accept or not."

The pilgrims looked at each other before following the Kitsune god's instructions, praying that their talents might come to the fore in this new opportunity that had fallen from the sky.

An hour later, it was Mizari's and her girls' turn, who quickly knelt down in front of Kurama as they saw how he stood before them with a kind smile.

They had seen and heard what had happened during the last 60 minutes, something that surprised them because among those who had passed, there were murderers, thieves and even a slave trader who had sacrificed his people to improve his life.

Kurama judged them, but quickly told them what their next steps might be to change course. The men quickly fell to their knees with tears in their eyes as they accepted the god's proposal.

Mizari was a bit perplexed by this as she thought this god was too innocent, but after seeing the change in the evildoers' look, she realized that he seemed to have done something to change them, or at least make them see their past evil deeds and take a step to change for the better.

"Well, I'm sure you already know what's coming, tell me what you're good at and what you expect in [Samsara]" - Kurama said as he folded his arms.

"We are prostitutes" - Mizari answered honestly as she looked at her girls - "Some of us did it because we wanted to, others because there were no other options, and even some of us because we were bought for this reason."

Kurama nodded calmly as he looked carefully at each of the girls - "I understand, as I said before, there is no past for you here, when you set foot inside [Samsara], your new lives will begin, as if it were a reincarnation, it's even possible that you may find love"

"I don't think it's possible" - replied Mizari while letting out a sad laugh - "Women like us, they are not well regarded, even some of us won't be able to have a steady partner because virginity is an important part of our customs."

Some girls lowered their heads with tears in their eyes.

"I understand, though, that's easy to solve" - Kurama replied while snapping his fingers.

A few seconds later, the girls started to feel a huge discomfort in their intimacies, as if their postures were much stiffer.

"!" - Mizari opened her eyes in surprise, because she understood this sensation - "You!"

"Yes, I returned their bodies to how they were before their tragic lives began" - Kurama replied as he sighed with regret - "You may not know this, but I am an [empath], I can feel the emotions of others, that's why I could feel their suffering when you said the word virginity."

"Thank you!" - exclaimed the girls as they fell to their knees.

"Don't worry" - smiled Kurama as he looked at the girls - "Well, now that we solved this little problem, I think it's time for me to give you my opinion about your possible new jobs in this place."

The girls swallowed a huge amount of saliva because they didn't know what to do now that they had regained their purity.

"Well, I honestly don't know if you will like this, but I would like you girls to continue working in the entertainment industry, though not selling your bodies, but your art" - Kurama said as he told them a sketch of what he expected from them.

"In other words, you want us to sell our act, learn how to dance, sing, and other kinds of activities" - Mizari replied while raising an eyebrow because she couldn't make sense of it.

As a prostitute with years of experience, she felt that this would not give them enough income.

"Relax, I'm not done yet" - smiled Kurama as he pointed out to her that this was just a simple screen. They would indeed be a secret information service, after all, rumors and stories were almost always found in bars or brothels - "In other words, you'll be working for me."

The girls' eyes lit up because they had been doing this for some gangs in their old sector.

"As for what you have to do in this place that I will provide for you, it is simple, you can seduce your customers to buy drinks, and you will accompany them, you don't need to prostitute yourselves, you just have to keep them company and sell them as many drinks" - Kurama continued with a huge smile.

"And what if we wish to accompany them, or if they want to overstep certain limits by force?" - Mizari asked with a frown.

"As for the former, you can do so if you wish, after all, it is your own will" - replied Kurama while shrugging his shoulders - "As for the latter, you don't have to worry, I will put security at your workplace, and these specialists will be women to prevent problems"

"Interesting, we accept your proposal, Kurama-sama" - Mizari replied with a huge smile as her girls nodded firmly. This lifestyle was much better than being a simple prostitute who would have no future after they reached a certain age. At least with this, they would be able to find a man good enough to marry, since they are not selling their bodies and are now pure again.

"Well, now that we have made this clear, I will send you money every month, of this money, half of it will be to buy supplies for the store, be it drinks, food, fixing some things, the other half will be for you and the future girls that join" - Kurama continued while tilting his head - "Anyway, your new home will be the same building, the upper floor. The lower floor will be the stage where you will sing, dance and put on a show, if you want you can open a different area to open a more expensive area where you can do more erotic dances, I don't know, you can think about the rest"

"Thank you, Kurama-sama!" - The girls exclaimed.

Mizari gave Kurama a seductive look as she licked her lips.

Kurama ignored this as he handed her a sheet with the address of the place they would use to live, then called out to the next group.

* * * * *

"Mizari" - said the cat girl as she looked at their leader.

"What?" - Mizari replied in surprise.

"Did you like Kurama-sama, by any chance?" - The cat girl asked, only to smile slightly when she noticed how her leader blushed.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about" - muttered Mizari as her companions laughed at her, thus giving way to the first day of their new lives.
