Chapter 9 - Let's Just Sleep
"Sophie, right? I'm Roy and I want to sleep. Let's just sleep until morning."
Sophie entered the room and introduced herself. I just told her that I'm really here to sleep. Even though from appearances alone, she's worthy to be the number one girl in the establishment. But I don't care about it at the moment.
If not for tomorrow's battle, I will gladly make a move on her. But this things doesn't matter at the moment. I can just come here on any other time if I want to. If not for the gates already closed, or other inns are still open, I won't have to come here just to sleep.
Sophie then undressed herself and walked to the bed.
"I can't just do that. This is a kind of service industry and I need to service you."
Oh! Wow! Her body! Her face! Everything! Perfect!
But no. Really, no. I can't just make a move thinking that tomorrow I will be in perfect condition. Although my physical ability is much better than average person, I can still get tired. And since tomorrow I might end up fighting 50 people, I really need to be in perfect condition.
Now how should I refuse her?
"Then service me with your warmth during my sleep. That alone is enough."
"I can't do that. This is my job after all. I don't have any choices."
Why did she said it that way? Doesn't have any choices? Does it mean she's being forced to work here? It doesn't matter at the moment. So I will keep refusing her.
"Do you know what I said to the owner? I just told her to call the girl who seems tired today and she choose you. Do you know what that means?"

"What is it?"
She laid on next to me and touched my cheek trying to seduce me. I looked into her eyes and told her with a serious expression.
"It means she found you to be the most exhausted girl here. I told her that we will only sleep together which means she wants you, the most tired girl today, to rest well. She's worried about you."
Her hand which was caressing my cheek stopped.
"But... I can't do that. I have to do more work if I want to pay my debt."
Does it means she's forced to work here to pay her debt?
"If you're sick because you work too much, you can't do any more works anyway. And you will need more fund to get to the doctor. That's why you need to rest. Your fatigue was noticed by the owner and I also ask you to rest."
"…but."
She's still resisting. Does she hate to sleep that much? Just like children who refuse to nap because they want to play so badly?
Then if she's forced to work, I can force her to rest.
"Let's do it this way."
"What?"
I laid on my side and embrace her. This way, she can't do anything at all.
"I'm much stronger than you physically. If I do this, you can't move at all so your only option is to sleep. Good night."
"Wait! No!"
"Just shut up and sleep."
Sophie still struggling in my embrace. It's like she got brainwashed to always work and never rest. What kind of evil being forced this lovely girl to do this?
And what about me? I'm forcing myself to endure the temptation! Do I really need to sleep without any actions? There's a beautiful naked girl in my embrace, and I refused to do anything to her! If other people know this, they would think I prefer men. That's a big NO!
Let's ignore everything and sleep. I can just cry in regret later. But I can't sleep! Sophie ended up telling me her story while she's in my embrace!
"Three years ago, I was just a student. I just awakened to my magic and register as hunter in hope for a better life. Somehow I ended up being tricked by my party member and shouldered a lot of debt I can't pay with just being a low rank hunter. That's when the owner found me, and after listening to my story she asked me if I wanted to work here. Since the pay is much better than being a low rank hunter, I agree. Then my reputation got higher and I got more jobs and money. But the debt somehow increased and I could never keep up with the payment. That's why I need to do more work so I can get money."
Okay. So she just told me her background story. What does she want from me? Comforting someone is not something I'm good at. So I just put my hand on her head and pat her.
"What? Do you think you can comfort me like this?"
"No way. It's impossible. You will never be able to relax until your debt disappear. I'm just doing this in hope you can fall asleep faster this way."
"What's wrong with you? You just keep saying sleep and sleep again and again. Do you not think that I'm attractive at all?"
"No, you are very attractive. If I don't have a plan that will spend a lot of my energy tomorrow, then I will do those kind of things to you. Sadly, I need a rest. Just go to sleep."
How many times have I told her to just go to sleep? Even I can already feel her fatigue. She clearly needed more rest than me.
"Uuuh… What should I do?"
"Like I said. Sleep."
Sigh… what should I do with her? If it's like this, I can't get any sleep. Should I just do it with her? It should be fine if I just do it once. Or maybe not. I have to leave early. Probably at dawn. And I don't know how strong those cult members are. If I ended up getting exhausted during the battle, there won't be other chance to attack.
Then… it's time to use my secret technique!
Over the years I'm being weak, I have created my own list of techniques. I called it 'Shameless Survival Arts'.
Just like the name implied, I will do almost anything to survive. Whenever I'm in a tough spot, I always make sure that I have at least two options. First is to escape, and second is to ask for someone's help. After that, then other options such as lying, telling the truth, hit and run tactics, and in the small chance I'm fighting a woman, which I did a few times, I will seduce them.
And now since I can't escape because I have paid and it will be a waste of money, and I can't ask for help here, what kind of man asking for help when he's in a room with a woman? I am. But I will be troubling the owner who agreed to let me stay for the night. Although I'm shameless, my shamelessness is at its peak only when I don't bother other people. Mostly innocent people.
Which means it will come down to my special skill from Shameless Survival Arts.
Seduction skill: Cheesy Lines!
"You know what? Even if you told someone about your story, most of them won't care. But I do. I can't help you with paying your debt. And I don't even know if we can meet again in the future. But now you're in my arms. You can dream of me and I will protect you in your dream. That's the least I can do for you."
How is it? Does my cheesy lines works?
Sophie then hugged me tightly. She looked up to my face with teary eyes and says, "Thank you."
Well, damn! This actually works! During my previous life, Cheesy Lines never works as Seduction Skill. It's more useful as a Distraction Skill. But for it to work on Sophie… she must have a big wound in her heart to fall for stupid lines.
As she cries in my embrace, she asked me something unrelated to her story.
"Why did you say you don't know if we can meet again? Is the thing you have to do tomorrow life threatening?"
"…possibly."
I answered her with a lie. Of course I won't die. Even if my plan to kill them all failed, I will choose to run away instead of fighting them all. Survival is number one. And if I judged them to be easy opponents, I will kill them all according to the plan. Although my existence will be known by the cult, living is what matter most.
"Promise me you won't die."
She looks into my eyes as she asked me to make a promise with her. Did she ended up falling for me? Cheesy Lines works beyond my expectation!
"I promise."
"And meet me again tomorrow. Promise?"
"Fine, I promise you that as well."
Now I got a date tomorrow. But other than sleeping together, I don't know what else I can do for her. Let's take things one at a time. I'll think about it tomorrow.
Soon Sophie fall asleep even though she's the one who wanted to stay awake the most before. She's asleep with a smile on her face.
"At least she's happy in her dream."
Finally I can sleep as well. Even with a nude girl in my arms, I have to sleep. Fuck, now I get aroused. I really should have said to the owner that I also looking for services like other men do.
Whatever. I need to kill a lot tomorrow anyway. If I ended up not feeling exhausted by the time I killed all of them, I will be truly disappointed.
