"Miss Soraya, please help me out. I really need money right now. With just E-rank gathering quests, I might not even have enough to pay for a room at the inn tonight."
His request was rejected, so Yecheng tried to gain her sympathy. But to his surprise, the way the young woman offered to help him wasn't by abusing her power. She enthusiastically invited him to stay at her house!
"Miss Soraya, I don't think that's appropriate. Although we've had a great conversation, we only just met today. You're inviting me to stay at your place..."
Yecheng never thought women in this world would be so bold. While his good looks probably helped a lot, for a woman he had just met to be so forward made him wonder if he had stumbled into a very "unwholesome" isekai world.
As everyone knows, even anime has its public and private sides. In a fantasy world anime, the theme is usually either about fighting or comedy.
But in an adult-themed one... the next thing that would happen would be what's called "paid content." To be honest, with such a high percentage of handsome men and beautiful women, this could be an adult-themed world.
After a long internal struggle, Yecheng ultimately declined the offer. If this were a different time, he wouldn't mind getting to know her better.
However, as an adventurer, he didn't know how long he would be in this city. A casual fling was fine, but a relationship that came with responsibilities was another matter entirely.
"My goodness, what are you thinking?! I work for the Adventurer's Guild, so I usually live here. But I have an empty house in this town, and I meant that you could stay there for a while.
You don't have to worry about the rent; you can just pay me back whenever you have the money."
"Oh, that's what I meant. Are you sure it's okay for you to lend me a house when we've only known each other for a day, Miss Soraya?" As a gentleman, Yecheng would never admit that his mind had gone to a dark place.
He said this without blushing or his heart skipping a beat, which in turn made Soraya feel embarrassed for her dirty thoughts.
"It's no problem at all. My house is very big, and you won't be the only one living there; there's another tenant. She's very beautiful, but she's also very strong. You must be careful not to provoke her."
After giving Yecheng the magic key to her house and the location, Soraya said, "There's another way for you to quickly raise your adventurer rank and take on higher-level quests.
You can team up with a high-level adventurer. That way, you'll earn a large reward, and your safety will be guaranteed. You can also learn a lot from the experience. Normally, high-level adventurers aren't willing to take on rookies, but I've been working at the guild for a while and I have some connections."
Soraya couldn't explain why she was so helpful to a new adventurer, but besides his good looks, she felt he had a lot of potential. As a guild receptionist, she had met countless adventurers, but Yecheng was the first rookie who gave her this feeling.
"Thank you so much, Miss Soraya. When I have the money, I'll pay you back double the rent I owe you."
She had not only provided him with a place to live but also a way to take on higher-level quests. Yecheng wasn't an ungrateful person. Although he wasn't used to working in a team, this was a kind gesture, and he had no other way to get stronger, so he could only accept.
"Miss Soraya, we're here! What can we help you with? And is it true that you'll have dinner with me if we help you?"
Yecheng didn't have to wait long. The high-level adventurers Soraya had mentioned walked into the guild. There were three of them, and the leader was a handsome blonde man. He seemed to be one of Soraya's crazy admirers, and she had used the promise of dinner as payment for their help.
"Rex, this is my little brother from the countryside. He just registered as an adventurer today, and he wants to experience the life of a high-level adventurer. I'm a little worried about him, so I asked you guys to help."
Hearing what Soraya said, the blonde man, Rex, proudly thumped his chest. He had been chasing Soraya for a long time, and he wasn't going to miss a chance to show off in front of his goddess.
Since the person was Miss Soraya's little brother, he would make sure to show off his strength and make a good impression.
If he could make the guy look up to him, it would definitely help him get closer to Soraya. What could a boy from the countryside possibly know? If he could impress him, the boy might even put in a good word for him with Soraya.
"Miss Soraya, don't you worry. I'll take good care of your little brother and show him what a high-level adventurer can do. By the way, where is your little brother?"
Rex followed Soraya's gaze and looked at Yecheng. At the same time, Yecheng also looked at the trio.
"Miss Soraya, is he the little... brother from the countryside you were talking about?"
When they saw Yecheng, Rex and his companions were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that in this huge town, they would run into Yecheng again, and he turned out to be the little brother of the woman they were courting.
That's right. The high-level adventurers Soraya had mentioned were the trio who had planned to sell Yosuke as a rare half-orc in the forest.
They had been beaten up by Yecheng, who then forced them to lead him and Yosuke to this town before letting them go.
"What's wrong? Do you two know each other?" Soraya looked at Yecheng and Rex's surprised faces and asked in confusion.
"You could say that. I was lost in the forest, and they led me to this town. They even gave me a huge bag of copper coins and said it was all the money they had..."
