Elaira cursed—fuck, she is not the goddess of lust but of greed.
Elaira asked in a painful tone, "How much is it?"
The goddess answered, showing 4 fingers.
Elaira sighed in relief seeing it was only 4 percent. "So it was only 4 percent."
The goddess waved her hand. "No, I meant 40 percent."
Hearing that, Elaira furiously yelled, "This is simply extortion." Why don't you just rob me?"
The goddess giggled—"I wouldn't mind that. But you know whenever I convert the system coins into real-world coins. There will be changes in the economy. So as to not affect the economy, the conversion charge is high."
Elaira couldn't argue against this reasoning. "Show me my owner info." She wanted to check how much coin she had.
[Owner Info]
Name: Elaira Lust
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Profession: Pleasure Worker
Title: Owner of the Silver Moon Pleasure House
Current Coins: 374 Lust Coins
Elaira had spent quite a number of coins to decorate 2 premium rooms; she even had to spend some of her own coins, not to mention rent and dress. She had only 374 coins left.
Elaira sighed. "We'll see how much the food costs first."
She asked the goddess. "Can we close it, as I am going outside?"
The goddess nodded.
The gates closed with a snap of the goddess's fingers,and a closed board was dropped in the front.
Seeing this, Elaira asked, "Goddess, you can open the doors, right?"
"Yes, I can do it," the goddess nodded.
Elaira raged, "Then why didn't you tell me that before? Huh. I have to give my all to open it."
Goddess retorted with her hands up, "You didn't ask me, okay?"
Both stared furiously at each other before calming down.
Elaira wandered on the street. It was not a concrete road but a muddy one. She walked as she saw some people shopping and farming in the fields. There were not only humans here; there were beastkins living along with elves and dwarfs, etc.
As she wandered around the village, she saw the majority were humans. She asked, "This world has many humanoid species. Not to mention they live in harmony?"
The goddess nodded. "It took quite an effort to build a world with harmony, you know."
Elaira, who came from a world of only humans, could relate to that—even though there were only humans in Earth's history, there was always racism and indifference between people.
She was surprised to see that this world was working so harmoniously.
Seeing the beautiful woman on the street, some greeted her, and a small boy came towards her with a flower in his hands. "Are you new around here, pretty lady?"
Elaira nodded with a smile. "Yes, I don't know much about the village. Can you tell me about the village?"
Elaira had a lot of questions; she felt it would be best to ask the little boy. So that if she asks something weird, people will not think she is mad. She wanted to know more about the village and this world.
"I'll surely take you around; take this pretty lady." He extended his hands as he gave her white and yellow flowers.
She took it with a warm smile. He asked, "Are you from Church, pretty lady?"
Elaira shook her head and wanted to ask more about church, but her stomach rumbled again. She said with an embarrassed look, "Can you show me where I can find food?"
The boy nodded as he said, "Follow me, pretty lady."
Soon he took her to the nearby luxurious tavern. It was the best one in the village.
Elaira, who came from the modern world, didn't know this. The boy was still standing as she sat. She patted at the seat beside her and said, "Come here."
The boy hesitated before he sat down. She called the staff "waiter."
A young elf man who would be around 20 came. "What would the noble lady like?"
He had long brown-yellow hair and long elf-style ears, and he wore a leather dress. Overall he looked pretty handsome.
He showed her the menu; the prices seemed high. A meal here cost around 4 silver coins. She had asked him about currency in this world.
The people here used kingdom-issued silver coins. And according to what the boy was talking about, 4 silver coins had very high value. They often traded with bronze pennies.
If she converted 10 coins, she would get like 6 silver coins.
She transmitted to the goddess as the goddess popped. Elaira had already clarified that only she could see the system or anyone who is affiliated with Pleasure, and Elaira gave them access.
So no one could see her. She looked around as she floated in the air. She transmitted, "Oh, you are quite rich eating at such a luxurious tavern as a beginner."
Elaira knew something was fishy. She understood clearly as she saw her own flashy dress. The boy thought she was a rich lady and brought her here. Her stomach was rumbling; she couldn't care about prices. "One meal and one kid meal."
The kid shyly refused. But Elaira insisted. Seeing this little drama. The Elf waiter gave Elaira a warm smile. "You are kind, my lady. Your order will be done in a few minutes."
She further conversed with the boy. She was curious about one thing. But now it was clarified. In this world elves didn't have long lifespans like in fantasy novels; they had about the same lifespan as humans.
She got to know that in this world a pleasure house was considered a noble work. Elaira already expected this. This world was, after all, the creation of the goddess of lust.
The boy asking if she came from church was also linked to this. In this world they obviously worshiped the goddess of lust. So in this world, pleasure houses had 4 ranks. Bronze, silver, gold, and Church level. The church was the highest rank of pleasure house. It is rumored that there are ladies as beautiful as fairies in there. It was the epitome of pleasure.
