Chapter 15

The young blonde woman had her eyes fixed on one of the shops in the Great Square for several hours by now.

Said shop was no normal shop. In only a month, it has become the place where a great deal of money passes through.

That place was The Sorcerer's Shop.

Rumours said that it was run by the greatest magic caster in the kingdom, Satoru, the arcane magic caster of the fifth tier, a foreigner that arrived not long ago at the capital and changed the economical balance built over decades in just a few weeks.

Not much is known about the man himself apart from his name.

He said he came from a distant land to the east of the empire. The fact that he never took off his mask was also one of the reasons he was so mysterious.

The woman trembled a bit as cold wind hit her back. Winter was coming and the fact that she was wearing delicate, thin silk didn't help.

However, she had to wear it as her seduction skills were far more effective with such a revealing cloth.

The wind made her mind return to reality as her eyes focussed once more on the shop.

Due to the lack of information about the owner, she decided it would be better to observe him.

Her superiors wouldn't mind having more information about him.

Unfortunately, her discoveries weren't worth the past 4 days of spying.

She confirmed that the rumours about the regular visits of the Warrior Captain were true and the fact that a cloaked figure was always with him was curious.

It was probably someone from the royal faction, who didn't want to be recognized in public. That was the most valuable information she had gathered.

Yesterday she decided that she was finally going to complete her mission today. The higher ups didn't like to waste time if the information wasn't worth it.

This was why she chose the best dress she had and was hidden in an alley, waiting for the magic caster to come out of his shop.

She could feel the little needle in her sleeve that contained the paralyzing poison. If she did her job right, she would be able to rise through the ranks and reach the top.

{Satoru's P.O.V.}

As soon as the last customer left his shop, the undead magic caster sighed in relief.

He may have an undead body, but his mind was still the same as his old self. Anyone would be exhausted after working 12 hours a day.

He proceeded to count the total income of the day. 'I'm beginning to amass quite a good sum,' he thought, before putting the money in a sack and putting it in his inventory, the safest place there was.

Normally at this time of the day, he would return upstairs and begin to work on restocking, but he could do it tomorrow since the next day was one of the religious days where people are not allowed to work.

He may as well go out for a walk today. Getting some fresh air would surely help him.

As he came to that conclusion, his body moved toward the door.

He exited his shop and locked the door behind him, while putting up a barrier against any living being that tried to enter.

The fresh night air hit him as he stepped onto the walkway. While he was undead, he could still feel the sensation of the wind on his body and it was quite pleasurable.

Even after all these weeks, going out without a gas mask on his face was still quite a strange sensation.

In Satoru's old world, the air was no longer breathable and so anyone who went outside would need a gas mask or they would die far sooner than expected.

He walked through the streets of the capital. The sun had already vanished, and the moon was high in the sky. It wasn't the first time Satoru had a night walk.

By now he already had a mental map of the higher district of the city. He made sure to stay around that zone to avoid any kind of trouble.

No sane thief would come into the most patrolled district to steal after all.

Satoru turned and entered one of the many empty small alleys.

This move was not done because he wanted to get away from the noise, but because ever since he exited his shop, he felt like someone was watching him.

If he was being followed, his stalker would have to reveal themselves if they wanted to continue to follow him.

He continued to walk, picking as many empty alleys as he could, until he finally sensed a presence not far behind him.

He continued to walk as if he didn't notice the presence. 'If it comes down to combat, I will have the advantage if they think I'm not aware of them.

They will not expect a sneak attack from someone they think is unaware of them.' He thought.

That had been a lesson from the master strategist of Ainz Ooal Gown, Punitto Moe.

Satoru turned another corner and immediately stopped. His senses tensed as he cast some silent buff spells on himself.

He then turned and walked back around the corner he came from. As soon as he passed the corner, someone bumped into him.

He was ready to cast a spell, but what he saw made him rethink his actions.

The person who stalked and bumped into him was a young woman around her late teens. She had delicate features, purple lipstick and mascara.

She was quite pale and had long blonde hair a little darker than Renner's, but her most peculiar feature were her purple eyes.

She wore a revealing outfit made of pink silk, not right for the season, that emphasized her generous cleavage.

The woman looked up at him, stunned for a moment, before smiling seductively.

"My, my, good sir, while I am for sale, I am still a woman. Before we come to the act, I would like to at least be introduced to each other."

She purred as her hands began to wander on his robes. Satoru was petrified. He didn't know what to do.

One moment he was ready for a battle the next an attractive young woman was trying to court him. 'A prostitute?' He wondered. Prostitutes still existed in Satoru's old world, but he never saw one before.

They lived in organized establishments; to enter such a place, you would need a social status quite above the one of a common salary man.

There were also the poor homeless girls, who would sell themselves in the streets in exchange for spending a night in a warm bed, but Satoru never considered them as prostitutes.

He forced his mind to come back from his memories and focus on the current problem. He needed to take control of the situation. He took a step back, creating some distance between him and the young woman.

"I apologize miss, I was in a hurry and didn't see you."

He said while lightly bowing his head. The woman seemed confused for a moment by his sudden politeness.

Satoru decided it was the time to take his chance.

"As I said I'm in quite a hurry, so please excuse me."

He said as he began to walk away, but then the woman launched herself at him and engulfed his arm in an embrace.

Fortunately, his robes were thick and she couldn't feel the hard bone under it.

"But sir, on such a splendid night it would be a crime not to indulge in the pleasure I can provide you. I will give you a discount." She said in a sweet innocent voice.

"No, thank you. I have affairs I must attend to."

He said as he freed his arm and proceeded to leave once more. This time the woman closed again the distance between them and stood in front of him.

She bent over to show him more of her cleavage and rose her skirt revealing a pair of violet panties.

"Come on sir! I will give you a round for free then. That's a deal no one would decline, don't you think?"

She said. While she said that, Satoru's Emotional Suppression was working at full power to stabilize his peak of emotions.

The woman seemed to take his silence as confirmation and closed the distance between them pushing her voluptuous body against his.

"Now, let's see what is hiding behind this scary mask."

She said, mixing a joking and seductive tone. Satoru didn't know how to react. He saw her hand coming toward the mask hiding his face.

'Why? Why?! Why can't I have a moment of peace?! This fucking woman just won't let me be! I just wanted to enjoy a little night walk! Is that too much to ask?!' In his head, a new emotion was beginning to stir, irritation.

It was quickly growing, coursing through his body. The woman's hand reached his mask, but before Satoru could push the hand away the woman's eyes widened.

They remained like that for what seemed to be a second, before the woman's body shook and she fell on Satoru.
