It's Not All About a Pretty Face, but in My Experience, Looks Matter for About 70% of Women and 90% of Men.
It's Not All About a Pretty Face, but in My Experience, About 70% for Women and 90% for Men Come Down to Looks.
No matter how pretty someone is, watching them whine continuously wasn't that entertaining, so as I was getting bored, I headed to the bathroom and called Leira.
"Stop your nonsense, get ready, and let's go out."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean 'huh'? Did you think you'd just stay home all day eating the bread I bring? Or do you have something to do as Rage the adventurer?"
"No, that's not it but..."
"Then let's go. We're not taking your virginity today, but since it's your first day, you should dress up nicely."
"First day?"
"The brothel."
"Ah~"
I'm not going to make her have sex right away, but there's a lot to prepare before that.
Because for men, sex isn't enjoyable just because a woman is pretty.
'Of course, about 70% of it is enjoyable just from being pretty.'
For reference, most women get about 90% of the way there just from a man being handsome.
It's no exaggeration to say those women have sex with their eyes rather than with their pussies.
Julian is a prime example.
Except for a few exceptions, the women in Julian's Guard have never been with other men who are good at sex besides Julian, so they've never experienced real sex and just look at Julian's face thinking this must be what sex is.
'Well, as a prostitute, I can't definitively say that isn't sex...'
Anyway, right now I need to focus on Leira!
"Not as Intermediate Adventurer Rage, but as rookie prostitute Leira, from today until the auction day, every time I receive customers, watch from the side and learn well, and occasionally use your hands or mouth, and..."
Squish-
"Kyaaang♡ Hey Shephy! Wha,what are you doing!"
"It might be okay to try doing the aftercare yourself with these big breasts. Luckily, they seem quite sensitive too."
A virgin is a virgin, and a prostitute is a prostitute.
So Leira also needs to learn how to entertain as a woman as much as possible until the auction day.
"Uuugh...I get it, so please don't suddenly touch me."
Seeing Leira acting like a perfectly chaste woman made me feel a bit relieved.
'I just need to correct her way of speaking like I did.'
It was a bit funny that even I, saying this, have been using male speech patterns in private for almost 30 years now.

At dusk, after we both finished washing
"Next week? That's more rushed than I thought."
When I visited the guild to settle the Poison Wyvern subjugation request and register Leira as an adventurer, I asked about the next auction schedule and was told by a guild employee that it's scheduled for next week, and I received several invitations under my name.
"We'll be busy for a while starting today. Leira, is there a time when you absolutely need to return to being Rage, or do you ever feel like you want to?"
"No~? I don't think there is~?"
Leira was casually answering while examining her new adventurer license - not the Intermediate she originally had, nor even Beginner, but an Apprentice Adventurer license - seemingly moved by the novelty as she looked over the license with her pretty face on it.
"It might be because it's only been a day, but if you ever feel that way or really want to go back, you need to tell me in advance? Understood?"
"Okay~"
"Tch! I'm confiscating this!"
Seeing her even blowing on it and polishing it now, I thought this absolutely wouldn't do and snatched the license away.
"Huh? Hey! Why are you taking that! That's the apprentice license of the legendary elf Leira-nim who will reach Special-Class Adventurer beyond Senior Adventurer!"
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch."
'Well, it's not entirely impossible.'
With my and Rage's abilities, plus Semen Growth, it's not completely laughable since we could aim not just for Special-Class Adventurer but even for ranking positions.
But it's too early.
"Enough. If you get any ideas about taking requests with this, it would be dangerous, so I'll hold onto it for now as your guarantor."
If she worked hard for just one night, even if reaching Senior would be difficult, she could quickly catch up to the stats from her time as an Intermediate Adventurer.
Moreover, Rage has enough experience as an adventurer to make full use of that.
So even if she rapidly increases her stats, she'll quickly adapt and succeed greatly as an adventurer.
However, if she acts so conspicuously, it will attract suspicion from others, and if those powerful individuals who become suspicious take action, we currently don't have the power to completely stop them.
If that happens, we'll eventually fall under some suspicious magic, have all our secrets thoroughly exposed, and become either test subjects or forced slaves - definitely a BAD ENDING.
"Ugh...I understand."
Leira, who seemed to accept my words without needing a long explanation, handed over the license to me obediently.
Normally, transferring or forcing someone to hand over their personally owned license to another person is clearly illegal, but it's okay since I'm Madam Shephy, the guarantor for prostitute Leira.
"Now, let's go to work."
"Oh~ Right!"
"Your speech - we already get a lot of attention because of our looks, so use honorifics as much as possible outside. Understood?"
"Ah, that's right...Yes, Madam."
The way she listens well to what I say when it comes to brothel matters is cute, so I patted her head once.
"Good evening~ Michelle, you look beautiful today too."
After that, instead of the main gate with its flashy sign, we entered through the back door painted the same color as the wall so it's hard to notice in the evening, and greeted Michelle, a senior prostitute who was preparing to open.
"Hehe, thank you, Madam. Good evening to you. By the way, is that girl the rumored one?"
"Yes, as you can see, she's Seyra's..."
"How do you do, unnie! I'm rookie prostitute Leira! This little sister will give you a proper greeting!"
Thump!-
"Guhook!"
"Stop! Don't do that! You, don't! ever! do that! Where did you pick up such weird things, seriously!"
I have no idea where she learned it, but Leira did one of the evil customs from the prostitute waiting room from when I was a bottom-tier prostitute - the thug-style greeting - and fell over.
"Hahahaha! Madam, what's with her? She's really funny! Hey Leira, where did you learn that? Did Madam teach you?"
"Absolutely not! I still get chills when I hear that!"
Just like enabling the use of prostitute aliases, I had eliminated that evil custom as I gained seniority, but hearing it come from Leira's mouth made my hand move without thinking.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fi...fine. Madam."
"Good. Just do exactly that. Forget all the weird things you picked up somewhere. Understood?"
"Yes, yess..."
'That bitch Roche. What did she teach her besides sex in bed?'
It obviously wasn't me, and Seyra was naturally excluded from such evil customs as she was exceptional in many ways at the brothel, so it must have been Roche - who occasionally got dispatch requests from Rage when Seyra was busy with other things - who mentioned it during pillow talk.
"She's not short-term, is she?"
"Think of her as a replacement for Madam Seyra."
"Oh my? That sounds like she'll be around for a long time then. How should we do the welcome party?"
"She's going to the auction, so I think we should do it after that."
"Ah~ I see? Then I'll prepare for next week."
"Okay. Please do. And..."
After properly handing over instructions to my capable junior who understands everything at a glance - as expected of a senior - I sat at the counter and handled some miscellaneous tasks.
"Hmm? Oh my? It's still early though..."
When I have adventurer work, I usually finish all brothel tasks in advance, so after finishing my work in a few minutes, I was checking the dispatch requests sent to me when I found one from a regular customer who's been requesting only me for over 15 years.
"But this works out perfectly♡ Michelle~"
"Yes, Madam. What can I do for you?"
"I'm going on dispatch♡ Please handle the rest with Roche~"
"Already? What's the occasion?"
I postponed or canceled all other requests except this one, handed over the remaining work to Michelle, and returned to the Adventurer's Guild with Leira.
I had many regulars since my apprentice prostitute days, but most of them can no longer request me because my dispatch fees have become too high.
Among them, the regulars who can request me - not just regular requests but dispatch requests - as the Madam are now few enough to count on one hand.
"Dispatch to the guild? It's not Uk, is it?"
"Correct♡ Hehe♡"
That one person is the half-orc 'Uk' - though he was a junior to me and Rage as Intermediate Adventurers, with his genius talent and ability, despite being a monster hybrid, he became the Guild Leader of the Adventurer's Guild before even reaching forty.
"Hey hey hey. He's okay, right? He won't get excited and rush at me or, auk!"
"Don't say things like that about a customer!"
"Hey! Stop hitting me! It really hurts!"
"I often give knuckle sandwiches to disobedient juniors. You better get used to it."
"Tch..."
Before I knew it, we arrived at the guild, and I went up to the second floor, past the lazy guild guards who now just let me through without even asking about Leira's identity when they see my face, and knocked on the Guild Leader's office door.
Knock knock-
- "...Who is it?"
"It's Shephy, Guild Leader-nim. I heard you called for me..."
Clatter!-
Creak!-
"Ah♡"
"Oh, Goddess...Thank you. Truly thank you..."
Squeeze-
Before I could even finish speaking, Uk came running out, yanked the door open, and hugged me tightly as if holding a child - his large frame looking down at me despite my 168cm height which is quite tall for a woman.
"Guild Leader-nim. We're still outside. People are watching..."
Though not as much as the first floor which also serves as a tavern, there were quite a few people still remaining on the guild's second floor for work in the late evening, and they all watched Guild Leader Uk hugging me.
The already conspicuous half-orc Guild Leader is holding a pink-haired Madam in his arms, while a blonde beautiful elf stares blankly from the side?
If someone isn't watching that, you should question what they're doing.
They might be a spy here to do suspicious things in the guild.
"I thought you were dead, nunim, and you're worried about mere glances?"
"Of course it's a problem! The Guild Leader is hugging a prostit...I mean, a woman! Anyway, the room! Let's go inside the room first! Leira, you come in too!"
"Huh? Ah, yes, Madam!"
Still held in Uk's embrace that wouldn't let me go, feeling like I was moving a rock, I entered the Guild Leader's office and remained trapped in his warm, almost hot embrace for quite a while even after entering.
