CHAPTER 15 – RELIEF
This kid for sure did make me angry but he is just a kid he does not know more than this if I was born in the slums for sure even, I would be angry at the other people
The people that know nothing about struggle the people that know nothing about the life in the slums the people that do not even care about the life in the slums
So, it isn't the kids fault that he would think of me like that and now as a proper adult I should respond to the kid with calmness and not with anger
'Well, I was just roaming around the streets before I ended up here and a certain kid started blabbering some nonsense things!?'
I shouted at him, and I felt pretty good about this shouting at a kid made me feel pretty good about myself
'Well, if you were just roaming around the streets please continue and get the hell out of here'
Well, he is technically correct I should get out of here
[Red haired boy's perspective]
I think this guy is looking for 'adult-pleasure' I mean at this time of the night no sane man would go out in the street unless for that
Let me just ask him
'Are you looking for heaven on earth?'
[Shikaku's perspective]
'Heaven on earth' that's the place the god that I met mentioned maybe this kid came to this world to help me
I must reply to him quickly
'YES!'
'LEAD ME TO IT!'
I replied quickly almost shouting at him at this point I regret shouting at him earlier this kid is so sweet now that I think about it
'Follow me then'
He started walking
I quietly followed him to the 'Heaven on earth' he was leading me to the kid is so sweet so kindhearted
I will give him some money when we arrive at the 'Heaven on earth'
He led me to a place called 'Heaven on earth'
It was a brothel
The kid led me to a brothel
'...'
I did expect something divine but well this is not that bad either so I may as well give a brothel a shot
I will not repeat the same mistake now I must ask the red-haired kid's name
'WHATS YOUR NAME KID?'
I shouted at him at the top of my lungs he took a step back shocked by this well this much was expected
'My name is Felix quest'
After a slight pause he said
'Even though the people that gave me this name are no longer in this world'
'....'
I was taken back at this moment
I felt bad for him, for a small kid to have such cruel fate I felt pity for him for some reason I felt like I understood him
'...'
I couldn't say anything to him
I wanted to say something
I wanted to do something for him
'Say kid want to live with me?'
Despite not having a place to live in myself I wanted to take care of him I myself do not know why I feel this way towards him
I wanted him to be happy?
Why? I do not even understand myself why I wanted him to be happy, but this was something that I felt like I needed to do right now
'I will regret this if I do not do this right now' that was the feeling I had when I said that
He was taken back for a moment well; he was just asked by a stranger to live with him
I definitely seemed like a creep to him
[Felix's perspective]
"!?"
Is this guy mad?
Well, I don't have a place to live in either so even if he sells me or kills me it wouldn't be that bad
If he kills me, I will be freed from this hell of a life
If he sells me as a slave well it wouldn't be that far off from the life I currently have so, in both scenario's it's a win for me
So, I should say yes because why not?
'Sure'
[Shikaku's perspective]
I most certainly did not expect him to accept this offer of mine that came from nowhere
'Oh well, let me just go to the brothel and then when I come back here then we can go home'
I replied to him
'Sure, I guess'
I entered the brothel
Felix entered the brothel too
I didn't know that brothels also let children enter there but this is alright he won't have to wait outside for who knows how long
The brothel had many rooms, and the reception consisted of many hot ladies in revealing outfits going around taking orders and then guiding the client to their rooms
One of the ladies from the brothel reception came up to me and whispered to me
'We can let the child wait in the waiting-section and you can select which one you want and relieve yourself of all burdens'
Well, I could do that and Felix could wait in the waiting room in the meantime that's perfect!
'Yes, please do' she handed me a list of women to decide from and their prices listed with their photograph besides the price
All of them were pretty but one stood out to me her price was in gold coins the only prostitute on this list with her price in gold coins
Her price was 1 and a half gold coin she was the prettiest lady I saw on the list
She had long eyebrows blue eyes pale skin truly beautiful
The lady that led Felix came back
'So which one did you choose?'
I put my finger on the picture and spoke
'This lady'
She was surprised
She looked at me and at the picture her expression was a mix of surprise and curiosity
'Do you even have the money to afford her?'
I opened the pouch the Godman gave me and replied to her
'Yes, I do'
I took 3 gold coins in my hand and showed her
She was surprised and taken back at that moment she looked at the gold coins in my hand
She was completely surprised to see that
I told her with hesitancy
'Uh can you lead me to her please? I have to go with the kid after I relieve myself of all my problems'
'Okay I guess but even one gold coin is enough to let a poor man survive for a whole month how did you get so many gold coins?'
She looked at me with doubt and suspicion
'These are my savings from a whole year but that's none of your business, is it?'
I had to lie here because if I say that I got this from a person that I do not even know it might raise suspicions
I had to say it with a rude tone to refrain her from asking more questions
'Okay then'
I gave her the money for 3 hours with the pretty lady she then lent me a change of 15 silver coins
She led me to a room the room was bigger than the rest and the pretty lady was sitting on top of it with beautiful clothes and a blank gaze
'Have fun' the reception lady said and then closed the door to the room
Now I knew exactly how to relieve myself of all the burden I carry
'Miss pretty lady, can we talk?'
'Sure? I guess'
She had a doubtful and surprised expression on her face
Her voice was beautiful hearing her voice already took a load off my shoulders she had a pretty voice
'I have been having troubles chasing me lately everything has been so bad'
'So much terrifying I was so scared all this time I felt guilty'
'Miss pretty lady everything has been so much confusing I felt helpless'
I talked about my problems to miss pretty lady about all of them and my feelings for 1 hours and a half
And then in the last hour and a half I fell asleep in her lap
