Waves

"Let's form an investigation party." suggested a certain Captain of the Loki Familia as he read the latest quest issued to them by the Guild. "Our objective is to investigate up to the 17th floor of the Dungeon, as there have been several disturbances reported recently." While it is not the responsibility of the first-class adventurers to investigate the Lower and Middle floors, the unusual commotion has caught their attention.

'Has someone done this deliberately?'

So far, there were no victims of these strange incidents, though that was a miracle; Finn Deimne found this a suspicious matter. He even had the Vice Captain of their Familia, the high elf known as Riveria, investigate this matter.

If only he knew a peculiar shameless man was behind all this, Finn wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry as the poor Riveria would be occupied with such a matter for weeks...

While waves silently stirred in Orario, Ryuu unknowingly was at the helm of them all as, after an entertaining conversation with Naaza regarding potions, he left to head in the direction of the Takemikazuchi Familia as a certain Kitsune had to be found...!

"Then let us depart, Ryuu-dono."

Yamato Mikoto uttered as she gave a brief salute to the other members of her Familia before Ryuu led her into the Entertainment District for their 'date'.

As the duo walked through the area slowly to avoid alerting the Ishtar Familia, most women saw an extremely handsome man with a refined aura pass by. His hair glistened with every movement he made, and his blue eyes lightly stopped on each woman he saw, making them feel as if butterflies were consuming their stomachs and causing their lower areas to twitch with desire.

Although a slightly similar situation occurred when Ishtar was guiding Ryuu through the District, he was in the presence of a Goddess, this meaning no one would dare to approach him carelessly as they did not wish to infuriate her...

The situation was now different as many women in this place did not want more than a divinely handsome man like Ryuu to devastate their insides.

"Hey, are you new here? Would you like to experience the pleasure this Onee-san has to offer? Trust me; you'll become addicted after just one try..."

An amazon with radiant red eyes and luscious brown hair approached Ryuu, releasing a seductive sigh from her lips. She was a stunning woman, with toned muscles and a curvaceous figure that was accentuated by her Amazonian attire...

Despite her impressive appearance, what mattered to her was the feeling Ryuu could dominate her in a single exchange, as indicated by her warrior instincts. Being a level 3, it was not often that she had the opportunity to be dominated in such a way. Only experienced level 4 or higher warriors could easily do such a thing...

It took only a second for Ryuu to understand the Amazoness' intentions. However, he was not interested in amusing her and instead confidently reached for Yamato Mikoto's waist without an ounce of shame.

"I'm with this woman; piss off, Amazon. Later, I'll come to give your dose if you behave."

He said in a commanding tone that echoed through the street, causing the Amazoness to tremble in response. The sweet aroma of arousal filled the surroundings as Ryuu effortlessly established the kind of thing she wanted.

"...Yes."

His words held clear contempt towards her, yet...she wanted it as she couldn't wait for him to ravage her so hard she would pass out.

Of course, women who didn't like to have such 'intense' lovemaking eliminated any thought of being his partner next, while the ones who enjoyed it gulped in clear joy as they would all obediently wait their turn...

It was noteworthy that no one paid any attention to the 'girl', while Ryuu himself was now free from any annoying situations for the moment.

"I'm sorry I had to do this."

He said as he glanced at Mikoto's embarrassed face.

"But if I had acted meekly or not clearly shown that I was with you, many women would come to bother us, which would have hindered our plan to search for that woman."

Mikoto nodded. She tried to calm herself down and ignored Ryuu's 'vile' hand on her waist. Despite having a noble mission and not judging people based on appearance, she was still a woman with emotions and couldn't help feeling affected by his touch.

Her thoughts strayed for a moment, but her heart soon calmed down and refocused on the task at hand.

It would be annoying to do such a thing multiple times. Thus, Ryuu settled in having his hand on her waist until they could finally reach the point where she was last seen, causing much distress to Mikoto once again...

"...Here."

Ryuu uttered as they finally reached the place as they could see multiple beautiful girls exposed for anyone with the right amount of Valis to 'commission'. This time, Ryuu didn't spare most of them a glance at all; it only landed on the ones with similar appearances to the woman in his memories as they puffed out their curves as much as possible, clearly misunderstanding his intentions...

'Is she already serving a customer?'

Such thoughts erupted in his mind as what could a woman who worked here be doing not to expose herself...?

These thoughts, however, were interrupted as Ryuu's instincts warned him of something.

With a simple glance, he saw an Amazoness with purple eyes and black hair. However, the moment their eyes met, his expression changed from one of neutrality to a faint hostility as he released Mikoto's waist before disappearing.

He reappeared close to her as no one had any questions when they heard his words.

"Amazoness. I challenge you."

Ryuu's gaze was cold as he looked at the Amazoness. Although she did not have much hostility, he sensed something was amiss. He chose to use her racial trait to possibly get some information out of her...

Many men looked at the handsome lad who challenged a level 4 Amazon with various thoughts. However, not all of them were too bright, as they forgot this was an entertainment district meant for a different kind of activity. They whistled cheerfully as if a great fight was about to occur…

"If you are that confident, then sure. Let me guide you to a special room where our fight won't destroy anything..."

It was important to have rooms with stronger materials to accommodate adventurers of different levels and strengths. A level 1 adventurer would not have the strength or stamina to cause as much commotion as a level 4 or level 5 adventurer. However, the presence of first-class adventurers was rare in places like this, as they often have a certain pride that prevents them from visiting. This results in a lower influx of first-class adventurers.

Many of them still came, though, as they hid their identities to avoid making their official appearance be 'ruined'. It was common and not met with much resistance or criticism…

After Ryuu and Aisha left, the group of adventurers chatting nearby was interrupted when one of them seemed to remember something.

"Hey...wasn't that adventurer the Unique Level 1?"

Most adventurers didn't remember Ryuu's name, so they thought of a way to describe him. Strangely, they could only come up with "uniqueness." They were somewhat afraid that Ryuu would kill them if they spread a strange name, so they chose to describe him this way instead…

"No way. Why would that man come here? I wouldn't be surprised if women came to him from this district of their own accord…"

The conversation continued, but if the adventurers had known someone who considered Ryuu an ally was present, they might have pissed their pants in fear before escaping from Orario...

They were lucky it was not Hestia or Luna who heard them.

"Ryuu-dono is not like that, though"

No one heard her whisper. When Mikoto's eyes met Ryuu's, she understood this could be a lead in uncovering the truth. Thus, she chose to walk in circles around the area and wait for his return without attracting any unnecessary attention to herself.
