There was no doubt that Leo was a very disciplined person. At most, he was only going to accompany this interesting woman for a little while longer before getting on with his real business.
"When the time comes, I'll just see whether the legally operating girls-for-hire can bring me a miracle."
With a sigh, Leo let the Poison King lead him to the entrance of a general store.
However, when he saw the small girl struggling to carry goods at the shop entrance—and the female street brawler walking straight toward her—a question mark slowly formed on his forehead.
Then, his ominous premonition came true.
"Yo, Kanina, long time no see."
The girl carrying the goods looked up when she saw Galina and immediately nodded happily, her face full of pure, unmistakable innocence.
"Hello, Sister Galina! Is there something you need me for?"
"Relax, it's a good thing."
Galina stood in front of Kanina, casually crossing her arms beneath her chest, then spoke in a serious tone. "Hey, Kanina, didn't you say before that you were short on money? Come on, I found you a job that's easy and pays fast, and I hear it's pretty—"
Leo didn't even wait for Galina to finish. He instantly appeared behind her, clamping one hand over her mouth while the other grabbed a soft, door-handle-like spot on her chest, dragging her away from the curious Kanina.
Suddenly attacked, Galina struggled fiercely. Unsurprisingly, Leo wasn't as strong as she was, and she quickly broke free.
"Mmph—?! Leo! What are you doing?! I'm helping you fi—"
"Shut up!"
Leo hurriedly covered her mouth again, forcibly stuffing her unfinished words back in. He stared at her in disbelief.
"Are you insane?! That's a child!"
He pointed at Kanina, who was standing there with a confused, curious expression, and growled at Galina in a low voice.
"Are you joking with me?!"
Galina, however, looked at Leo as if he were the unreasonable one.
"Huh? You're the one joking. Kanina can already get married, you know."
"Huh?"
Leo turned to look at the petite girl standing nearby, then back at Galina's utterly casual face, before looking at Kanina again in confusion.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Kanina set down the box she was carrying and raised her arm, striking a strong pose.
"Kanina is already a grown girl, and everyone says Kanina will become a super good wife in the future!"
So this still wasn't okay at all!!
Leo looked at Kanina and desperately wanted to ask what was wrong with this idiot street brawler named Galina. Meanwhile, Galina nodded naturally.
"See? She says it's fine."
With your intelligence, I could sleep with you eighty times and still charge you for it.
Leo covered his face and waved his hand weakly.
"That's enough. I'm tired."
He never should have relied on this woman in the first place.
With a sigh, Leo headed toward the pink-lit bar from earlier. Galina watched his retreating back with confusion, not understanding why Leo—who had been so excited just moments ago—suddenly looked so dejected.
But since Leo no longer needed her, the shrewd street brawler naturally didn't feel the need to continue repaying any favors.
"Then I'll count this as my debt repaid! But if you ever manage to withstand my deadly poison, I can still fulfill my earlier promise!"
She waved energetically at Leo in farewell.
Leo didn't bother responding, walking straight into the pink bar.
The moment he stepped inside, Leo felt like he'd come home. Watching the lightly dressed young women weaving through the bar, a smile spread across his face.
These girls might not have the kind of powerful thighs that made one itch to grab them, but full, pale thighs had their own gentle, feminine charm.
Especially when those thin, almost ribbon-like skirts slid along their fair legs as they moved, Leo couldn't help but imagine what enticing things might be hidden in the deep darkness beyond.
Their beautiful long hair released soft fragrances as they passed by, and when hair of various colors cascaded over pale or bronze skin, it created an intoxicating beauty.
When one girl with long black hair, fair skin, and a yellow dress leaned against him, he caught a pleasant scent of roses.
He lifted the smooth chin of this lovely girl, while his other hand naturally traced along her exposed, silky back.
The delicate touch made him feel extremely comfortable.
"How much would it cost for me to carefully admire and play with a lovely flower like you?"
Leo looked at her cute face and smiled confidently.
Then he heard some good news.
"Picking a flower doesn't cost anything."
The adorable girl smiled sweetly.
"But our minimum drink order here is ten gold coins."
Leo smiled as he took out a few gold coins from his pocket, placing his hand on the girl's chest and casually letting the golden coins slide across her pale skin before slipping into the fabric clinging tightly to it, tugging once at the thin strap on Miss Yellow Rose's shoulder.
Naturally, a faint pink hue became visible beneath the fabric.
Clearly, Miss Yellow Rose had a generous figure, and her outfit was exquisitely designed—obviously crafted by someone experienced, specifically for certain visual effects.
"That's no problem, right? By the way, what should I call you, miss?"
Leo's coins and demeanor made the Rose girl's smile grow even brighter.
"Don't you want to try guessing?"
She pressed even closer, letting Leo feel more—her soft, ample chest, her round, pale thighs, all of it.
Naturally, Leo grew excited. He couldn't help but give her plump hips a light pat and smile.
Professional really was on a different level.
So much better than that street brawler, it wasn't even a comparison.
