NOVEL WEB Chapter 15 – Hostess of Fertility
The entrance was similar to what I had seen in the anime: double doors, a sign with the store's name, and a large sign featuring a fork and knife. Many customers were entering as night was approaching.
Lively voices came from inside.
I took a step forward without feeling pressured by the stares that reached me as soon as I arrived at the door. There were many of them, several times over. Most of the tables were packed with customers.
They were all adventurers.
The waitresses, dressed in long green dresses and white aprons, were rushing to attend to all the customers. One of them approached me to lead me to a table as soon as she saw me.
She had brown hair and eyes, with cat ears on her head. If I remember correctly, her name was Anya, but I couldn't recall her full name.
"Would you like to place an order?" Anya asked cheerfully.
"A plate of meat, pasta, and a glass of beer, please."
"Sure, sure, I'll bring it right to you, okay?"
Anya rushed to the kitchen, and I searched for any relevant characters. However, I couldn't find any. They were all extras, which made me sad. I wanted to meet Ais.
I want to see what she looks like in person. In the novel, she is always described as very beautiful.
After waiting for a while, another waitress delivered my food and drink. I remembered this girl's last name. I think it was Chloe Rollo. 'Is the owner around here?'
While savoring the roast meat in front of me, I continued to look around curiously.
I tried to act as inconspicuous as possible. No one seemed to be paying attention to me.
Then, after 10 minutes and a finished plate of food, some people entered through the door. I smiled when I saw the faces of the four people who walked in.
I don't even feel like talking to them. I just observed them.
Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Bete.
The four walked together to a table behind me and completely ignored me. When Ais passed by, I couldn't help but look at her face. A beautiful face and skin that matched the color of her hair and eyes.
Her hair was long and blonde, and her golden eyes didn't even glance at me. I was invisible to her.
Cough!
Cough!
I coughed and looked back. My eyes met Ais's, and she tilted her head, confused. Then I turned forward and said nothing. Shortly after, I heard cheerful voices coming from their table.
Mainly Tiona's lively voice. As always, she was acting spontaneously and had a charming personality.
'Approaching them would be weird. I'll get closer to them in a less invasive way. I'll just eat and leave.'
When I finished eating, I paid for my food and stood up. I looked back, and my eyes met Ais's again. She was chewing her food while staring at me.
Her golden eyes pierced my soul. Despite her lack of expression, I could feel she was analyzing me. I could also sense she was strong, even though I wasn't close.
Have I become more sensitive? I'm sure I've encountered strong people before, but this is the first time I've felt this.
Then I turned and left the restaurant.
I sighed and looked back one last time. Inside, I could still see Ais looking at me for some reason. Her eyes followed me to the exterior. I ignored her and headed to the church.
I found Hestia eating on the couch when I arrived at the church. While I was enjoying good food and some alcoholic drinks, Hestia was here, eating some unappetizing bread.
"Hey, you don't have to eat that. I'll prepare something for you."
"Hm? You finally arrived? Were you with women again?"
"No, of course not. I was at the Hostess of Fertility, eating and drinking. I feel guilty seeing you eating just bread, so I want to prepare something for you. Or would you prefer that I go there and buy something for you?"
"No need, I'm not that hungry, just this is enough. Ah, and you can rest tomorrow. You've been going to the dungeon every day."
"No, I don't need rest." I sat next to Hestia. "I want to keep going to the dungeon every day. It's a bit of fun. But now I must bring a bag with water and food because I'll be going deeper this time."
"That's true, I forgot about that! Do you want me to get one for you?"
"Don't worry. Do you remember that cabinet?"
"The one in your room?"
"That's right. I have a bag I bought in my hometown. I'm sure it's much better than any bag adventurers use here in Orario. But I'll have to spend more money to buy food to take to the dungeon."
"Don't worry. You can use the money you earned today. But don't buy food that spoils quickly."
"Yes, yes, I'll be careful. But I don't need that much." I took half the money and gave it to Hestia. "Now I'm going. I'll head to a bar to drink."
"Have a good night. And don't overdo it. You'll end up getting sick if you drink every day."
"Don't worry, I don't drink much."
I left Hestia and went to my room to take a bath and get ready to go to the entertainment district. After putting on my perfume, I walked confidently until I got there. I went straight to the same building Aisha took me to last time.
However, I didn't find her there.
Some girls called out to me, but I ignored them and left the building. I walked the streets for long minutes looking for Aisha.
Then, finally, I found her.
Aisha didn't seem to be feeling well. She wore her usual revealing clothes, but her expression wasn't good.
"Aisha?" I immediately approached and supported her on my shoulder. "What happened?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I was drinking with a client but suddenly started feeling very sick." Aisha suddenly turned her head and vomited on the ground. I immediately understood what was happening.
The system is accelerating the pregnancy process!
