Territory Pioneering 4
After finishing the meeting in the quiet office, I decided to liven up my day by heading to a bustling section of town in the South District.
I figured since I accomplished my goal for the month, I deserve a reward. I arrived at Sophie-chan’s stage not long after leaving Christina’s home. I could already feel the exhaustion leaving my body just at the thought of seeing her panties.
If an acquaintance of mine is knowingly showing off her panties on stage, I feel as if it’s my obligation to witness it. The opportunities to catch glimpses of a girl’s panties are rare in this world, so I can’t miss this chance. The fact that it’s someone I know just doubles my excitement.
I don’t care for Sophie-chan, but I am a fan of her panmoro.
But something’s off. The hall is almost empty.
“….”
I was able to walk in without waiting at all.
There was no line of people outside waiting to get in, and once I had entered, I saw the hall was less than half full and only a select few were even standing in front of the stage.
Has everyone already lost interest?
I’m not bored of the spectacular view offered here just yet.
As I was wondering what happened, several voices rang out from the small crowd.
“Do you think it’s true?” “It definitely is! It’s happening in the mixed bath in the second district!” “You think a woman like that actually exists? That just can’t be true.” “I’m telling you it is! That debauched bathhouse has become a sanctuary for people to live out their hedonistic desires!” “W-Well, I guess I won’t believe it unless I can see for myself.” “I knew you’d come around!” “I….I’m coming too!”
It was a conversation that made me want to fly full-force towards the second district.
I want to go too.
A brief glimpse of panties or a vagina. That brief glimpse could lead to a full show, which in turn could lead to an invitation to stick it inside.
This world lives by the rule of survival of the fittest. If a luxury soapland were charging the same price as an ordinary call girl, everyone would choose the soapland.
The few people standing close to the stage left without watching the rest of the show. I guess the entrance fee of fifty-five copper – which is already a pretty steep price – can’t compete with the idea of wild sex. It didn’t take long for the remaining members of the audience to leave the hall.
Which left only me watching Sophie-chan still performing on stage…. And, even worse, she was singing a capella which made the song and her performance seem even lonelier.
It was the most pitiful I’d ever seen her, but it also made her cuter than I had ever seen her.
Seeing Sophie-chan in such a pitiable state made my heart race, but what should I do about this situation? Even with everyone else gone, her pride won’t allow her to stop her performance. And it was a great show, too.
I’m obviously still curious to know more about the nympho in the bathhouse, but I’ll stay here to show my support for the Vice-Captain. She was still smiling brightly while singing and dancing. I don’t think I’ll ever have the opportunity to experience a performance like this that is only for me to see.
I continued watching her performance while feeling sorry for her.
I still appreciated the view offered by her mini skirt but with a more solemn feeling than before.
She concluded the show after only her second song and, in that time, no new customers had entered. Sophie-chan and the band bowed after the final notes faded away. I took this as my signal to speak with her.
I moved from the edge of the hall to the side of the stage and positioned myself so that I could easily look up and see beneath her skirt.
“Thank you for the performance, Sophie-san.”
“….”
I tried a simple greeting, trying to avoid the elephant in the room.
Her response didn’t give me a lot of hope.
The empty hall had caused her considerable mental damage.
“It looks like someone is stealing your customers.”
“…looks like it.”
With just a few words to offer, Sophie-chan descended from the stage to the audience level. This offered me one last look at her panties as her skirt fluttered with each step down. I was able to see her panties and thighs this time. Thank you for the great show.
“Thank you for staying until the end.”
“No, I just made this more uncomfortable for you.”
“I don’t mind.”
The members of the band quickly made their way to the backstage area. I caught a glimpse of Schael as well who I was relieved to see that Sophie-chan hadn’t punished on my behalf.
Well, based on the type of girl Sophie-chan is, they may have come to a sexual compromise.
“This was a very different show than when I was last here.”
“Most of the customers were only curious to see the show that first time.”
“I see. You may be right about that.”
If she was performing in Kalis like normal, she’d have a more steady turnout. Few fans would be willing to travel any distance at all to witness her performance in a world devoid of public transport or any feasible manner of travelling large distances. So her performing in this city was almost like starting completely over again.
“Do you think it might get better over time?”
How long can that woman keep having orgies for?
“….”
“Sophie-san?”
She looked deep in thought.
“…I have to go see.”
“R-Right now?”
“Yes.”
The idol bitch walked out of the hall with her cloak flowing behind her.
Sophie-chan was drunk on jealousy, but she was surprisingly cute.
I followed close behind her.

It only took us a little over ten minutes to reach the bathhouse on foot. I’m sure this relatively close distance to Sophia-chan’s venue has also helped steal away her customers.
We arrived at the bathhouse in the second district. I felt a great warmth in my chest knowing that a building I had built had become a house of orgies.
“…there’s a pretty good line forming outside.”
“Y-Yes, you’re right.”
There was a long line of men reminiscent of the one formed outside of the hall during Sophie-chan’s early performances.
I also noticed that the men here were remarkably less attractive than most of the men I had become acquainted with since arriving in this world. The fate of the busamen of this world is the same as my world. I could feel a sharp pain run through my heart. I could empathize with each of them.
I couldn’t spot a single female among the large group. Passersby were noticeably giving the crowd a wide berth. When we got close to the line, I noticed a very distinct smell that I could only assume was ten times worse inside the bathhouse.
“I’m going in.”
“Ah, wait a moment, Sophie-san, there’s a line.”
Sophie-chan pushed her way towards the front of the queue.
I chased after her from behind, but as the crowd began to realize what was happening, each of them stepped aside to allow her to pass. This is the power of the nobility.
“O-Oi, isn’t that Cyan-sama?” “It is! That’s really Cyan-sama!” “Oi, it’s Cyan-sama! The Vice-Captain of the Magic Knights!” “Seriously!?” “Uo, amazing!” “This is the first time I’ve ever seen her!”
W-Wait a minute, isn’t Cyan-sama headed to the mixed bath!?” “That can’t be true! She’s a noble, isn’t she!?” “But, look, she’s clearing going inside!” She is! Amazing, this is amazing! This is the best day of my life!”
“Wait, who’s that guy behind her?” “Could it be that Baron Tanaka everyone’s talking about?” “It’s possible. I’ve heard he isn’t the best looking guy.” “Well, he definitely matches that description.”
Most of their comments were focused on the erotic possibilities presented by Sophie-chan’s appearance.
They were all thrilled to see her. I wouldn’t mind seeing Sophie-chan being gangbanged by a group of lower-class citizens.
I continued chasing after her with images of this scene flashing through my mind.
We passed through the entry hall and made our way to the dressing rooms. The stench that was already filling my nose outside of the building had grown to the point of being overwhelming now. I’m sure the high humidity inside the bathhouse didn’t help either.
As we turned a corner, we were created with a new blast of an all too familiar stench of sweat and semen. It was as if we had stepped into a brothel that hosted regular orgies but never bothered cleaning up after one.
The halls had been relatively empty up until this point, but with the fresh new smell of squid also came a wall of naked men.
We couldn’t take a single step forward without pressing up against someone’s exposed body.
There were too many people for us to advance so we decided to fly above the mass of men using flight magic. When we finally arrived at the main bathing area, we saw what had drawn such a large crowd.
“Ah, aa~h, aaaaaaa~hnn~”
A cute voice yelled out from the centre of the group.
Surrounded by a group of over a dozen men, I could see a naked woman trembling.
And it was someone I recognized.
Mercedes-chan’s meat toilet. The blonde mage from the Pussy Republic with an impressive body. I think this is the first time I’ve seen her since the battle at the Radius Grasslands.
“…what is this?”
I never expected to encounter her in a place like this.
I was finally able to tear my eyes away from the scene to glance over at Sophie-chan.
She didn’t look disturbed by the scene she was witnessing. She just quietly looked down at the scene with her cheeks flushed red and a strange grimace on her face.
[Link to illustration that goes here]
Many of the men that couldn’t get a good view of the action were taking the opportunity to look up Sophie-chan’s skirt as she floated in the air. The entire room was filled with horny men, and I was surprised that Sophie-chan would feel safe entering a space like this.
“I think we should leave….”
“….”
Despite what Sophie-chan told me before, I don’t think she’d be interested in having an orgy with a large group of middle-aged, unattractive commoners. Everyone here is already horny and now the idol bitch has made her entrance.
“D-Don’t you think a bath… that a bath sounds good, right now?”
“No, even if you ask me that….”
“….”
“Sophie-san, we really should leave.”
“…I-I think I’m going to take a bath.”
“Eh?”
What did this girl just say?
“Umm, I think taking a look is enough….”
I say that but I really want to see it.
I know I should stop her, but every fibre of my being is telling me to let her do it.
My son is giving me a thumbs up from my pants.
This is like a situation where a girl witnesses a friend prostituting herself out and it awakens something inside of her. This girl doesn’t fit the typical image of a prostitute, but hidden beneath her pure, idol exterior lies the heart of a slut. Someone born to be used as a meat toilet.
Sophie-chan’s future will be decided by the actions she takes here.
It’s like watching a documentary on the life of an underground idol on fast-forward.
