cH41 – I to the Capital's Western district To one of the settleate, Ares shouted in a loud voice

[Long ti so, he went inside At that moment, a voice came from behind

[Hold on there, customer You can't enter since it's not business hours yet!… Eh, hee? Aren't you that Alan? It's been quite a while, isn't it??]

The source of that voice was a young woman with dishevelled clothes It appeared that she had just woke up, seeing how she hadn't worn any make up and that her hair was all over the place

[Hi Barbara]

The wohed et past the guards at the front gate?]

[Nn? Ah, since they wouldn't let ot in by force…good grief So what are you up to by co here today? And when did you return here to the capital?]

[I only returned earlier today I just want to see Carla Is she here at the moment?]

[Wait…you are here just toBarbara complain, Ares could only feel a little e

[We haven't one, everyone here was depressed… Maria even had this face as if the world has ended… She wouldn't stop crying…so was Carla How hard it is just to say goodbye properly!?]

[Ahー, I'll hear out all of Barbara's coht now I need to see Carla There is so that I need to talk about with her in a hurry]

[Really now, you won't even listen… Sister Carla! It's a customer! Alan is back!]

Barbara's face turned bitter upon hearing Ares' words, but she still co out loudly

However, the responses to the call were:

[Alan, you say?]

[He is back?]

[I thought I would never see you again!]

The doors opened up one after another,fro frohtly they're dressed and how they hadn't applied anytoward Ares

Ares, on the other hand, flushed red fro confronted by this many scantily clad women, was unable to react with tact

[No, please, I'll talk to you all later…]

[Everyone, be quiet!]

A loud voice resounded in the hall The place turned quiet immediately All due to the that voice that carried so much authority in it

The western district is pretty iene is questionable at best However, the district has a well-designed cityscape At a glance, there seems to have no differences to those at the northern and eastern district… But anyone would know that it's not the case, once they set foot inside

It's not a place anyone is meant to live in

House block number 61 is perhaps one of the exception It's faest 『brothels』in the capital Therefore, it's a place where everyone from all of the districts, even those from the northern district would want to visit

Other than for its size, this particular brothel was also known by its naed froular civilians to some well off merchants, and even soed such a large establishment

Her hair avy and flaxen-colored She was also tall and curvaceous, coupled with a stern face One may feel that it is hard to approach her

However, at heart, she's a gentle soul with a strong sense of duty She took care of all the wo on the establishment, almost as if she was their mother She's someone who is alell received by the other residents in the western district

[Alan? It's been a while What kind of business take you to this kind of place?]

[To tell the truth I shouldn't be back in here so soon…but the Ied a lot since my last visit, and that's exactly why I came to seek you here I need asAres explanation, Carla's face became even more stern

[We shouldn't talk about that here First of all, let's find a roo Ares said that as he looked around, the woain

[Eee~, I want to talk with Alan]

[Hey hey, are you, still a virgin? Do you still reht there, that's not so you could say so casually!]

[But you proet about it!]

[I…]

Seeing this chaos, Carla's blood vessel bulged even more…then she shouted:

[Cut it out!]

Everyone was stunned once again by her voice

[We'll first take care of Alan's business first Alan! You are staying overnight, aren't you!?]

[Un, that's what I intend to do…]

Hearing this, the women started to cheer and ht, then you can talk with Alan! But firstly we'll go to my room We won't knohat he needs unless we talk first]

[Sister, don't bully Alan!]

[Don't eat hi such cheers, Ares followed after Carla with a wry s him off, Barbara then called out to the nearby women

[Wait a irl, isn't she out doing laundry or so?]

[Go and fetch her This should be a very i else for her]

Once Ares and Carla entered the rooed her attitude, dropped on her knees with her head bowing

[It's been a long tied since then?]

[Ah, nothing has changed Then, how about in here?]

[The western district hasn't changed yet More people have resided here recently]

[Does these people come from the countryside?]

Ares tilted his head in question, which Carla replied with a troubled face

[Not exactly…they are all refugees from the southern land…most of them are beastmen]

[What do you mean?]

[The discrimination towards demi-human seems to have intensified in the south…Maria who often went there told us that the violence inflicted by the officials and the church is beco even worse… the west isn't likely to be affected as ed the topic

[By the way Ares-saht I have a request]

Ares' face turned serious upon saying that

[I want a connection to the man who control the entire western district… I want Balzac]

A little further away from the house of black rose, block number 66 was the most desirable place to stay in the western district At first glance, there are a lot of luxurious buildings here to the point that it can be mistaken as part of northern or eastern district So as it so developed? It's because it's base of slave traders and illegal organizations

On that block 66 was the largest andin western district

The unusual size and the strange architecture s

Butthe people Not only common and poor people, merchants and aristocrats would often showed up here on their fancy carriages

What is actually happening here? Only those who could enter inside knows

=====

Ares and Carla are heading to such building as we speak

[This place…it looks thriving as usual]

[…this place is Balzac's Or do you want a bite of it as well?]

Carla called Ares as [Alan] casually Ares actually preferred it that way since it makes him feel comfortable

[This place was built soon after you left Iaainst Balzac?]

Ares laughed without replying

And at that point…

[Oi! You, where do you think you and your wo!?]

The two of the like a thug

[Why did soo in here? Youthe situation, it will be useless even if Ares do the talk Carla sighed

[…you, do you knoho I a about? Are you a fool, you bitch…]

[If it isn't Carlsa black haired aze, interrupted the scuffle

This man dressed like butler who served an aristocrat It's obvious that he's not one of the prisoner froe scar on his cheek gave the i man

[This sudden arrival surprised uys who don't know you yet…thankfully I happened to pass by and notice you come And this felloith you is…i ti beside Carla, Hans' face visible turned upset

[My reat surprise I'll bring you to meet Balzac-sama, at once]

[He? He? HHans-san, this people are…]
