“Then let’s go to sleep… But Asia, why are you so excited?”

“Huh, huh… It’s nothing. Hey, come here!”

Karin lies down next to me without any suspicion as I lift the blanket and pat it.

There’s a girl sleeping next to me!

I savored this historic and thrilling moment.

And then I realized that I couldn’t do anything anyway, and I became depressed again.

Yeah, what on earth can I do with this body?

“… Am I really okay? The atmosphere suddenly changed again… .”

“It’s okay, I’m going to sleep now.”

Okay, let’s think positively.

Now that I’m a woman, I can sleep with her like this.

Something a man would never have imagined.

So let’s be thankful for this.

I was so excited that I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep properly, but I fell fast asleep in less than 5 minutes.

***

“Good morning, Asia.”

“Ah, ahh… Joe, good morning!”

A life where you wake up and hear a morning greeting from a blonde elf beauty.

This alone would have made my life worthwhile.

Feel energized from the morning!

“So, what should we do now?”

“Um… I see.”

First of all, the most important thing for me is to progress through the main story.

First of all, it would be a good idea to find out if there are any rumors about this city.

And you need money. You definitely need money to buy equipment or even potions.

“Karin, have you ever had a part-time job?”

“Part-time job? No, I’ve never done it before… .”

I haven’t tried it in this world either, but if you use my experience from games, it’s not that difficult.

If you just go and say, “I want to do that job!” and you’re done, that’s the part-time job in the game.

The only problem is that there is a very high possibility that some strange event is involved… .

“Then let’s look for some part-time jobs today. And gather information while doing it.”

“Hmm! Information gathering, that’s my specialty.”

By the way, you were a thief, weren’t you?

If he’s a thief, he’s also a master at gathering information. He’s trustworthy.

“I believe in you, Karin!”

“Haha, right. I’m good at gathering information.”

I praised her even more because I thought her proud look was cute.

Karin is the best! Long live Karin!

“Huh, huhuhuhuhu… .”

After admiring the cute sight of Karin being smug, we left the inn.

“By the way, Karin, are you going to wear the same clothes?”

“Um… .”

Her current outfit is the same as the one she was wearing when she escaped from the lord’s castle.

Since I escaped at dawn, I’m basically walking around in my pajamas.

Of course, since the original was such a beauty, she looked pretty no matter what she wore, but I still wish Karin had worn prettier clothes.

“Well, I don’t have the luxury of buying clothes right now… .”

“Then, if I save money from my part-time job, I’ll buy clothes first! I can’t keep going around like this!”

“Oh, is that so? Yeah, I got it.”

So I got Karin to promise to buy me some clothes.

Done!

“So what should we do now? Should we search together or should we go separately?”

“I’m sorry, but I think it would be better if you went around alone. It’s more secretive to gather information alone.”

“Oh, I see…! As expected from an expert!”

Are you just using a thieves’ guild or something like that?

Oh, but it seems like strange events always happen in places like that!

Of all people, it’s an elf who can’t lie.

I’m really worried about sending it alone.

“Don’t worry, Asia. Even so, I came all the way from my distant hometown to Gaur.”

Yes, she knows more about this world than I do.

“That’s right. I guess I’m worrying for nothing. I’ll just trust Karin!”

“Yeah! Trust me, Asia!”

It was only after she left that I realized what I had forgotten.

Karin… was kidnapped and sold to Gaur…!

Is this really okay?

I stared in the direction she disappeared with anxious eyes.

But I can’t just worry about her forever.

I had to find something to do on my own.

So I slowly walked around, and before I knew it, I was in front of a magic shop.

“What… .”

What a coincidence.

Since I’ve come this far, should I ask if there are any part-time jobs available?

It’s not that I particularly want to hear it again, it’s just because of my part-time job.

Yeah, that’s right.

Squeak!

I slowly opened the door and looked inside.

A cozy smell.

It’s a very familiar smell to me, so I’m happy.

“Hee, heehee… It’s here, it really is here… !”

The shop owner greeted me warmly.

“Oh, hello! Do you have any part-time jobs available?”

“Ah, part-time job? Oh, no… No, I, I have one! Of course I have one… Hehe… .”

As expected! I was worried what would happen if it wasn’t there, but luckily it’s there.

“Hey, can I do that too? I’m good at part-time work!”

“But, but… Hehe… The store is having a hard time so I can’t give you much… .”

Aah… .

It’s okay. The important thing is that I can work part-time here!

“Okay, it’s okay! I’ll try my best!”

“Oh, really? Then can you take a look at this…?”

Then he handed me a red magic book.

Oh, I think I’ve seen it somewhere… .

※※※※※

“Juup…Jup….”

“Huh, heh heh… Ah, Asia… I feel good… .”

“Chooup, churp… .”

“Jo, just wait a little longer… . When the depth gets deeper, then… Hehe… .”

“side, squeak… .”

※※※※※

“Try using magic! Why not try using magic? You too can become a wizard!”

I grabbed people passing by in front of the store and tried hard to solicit them.

“What, what is this bitch?”

The man who was caught by me again panicked and tried to run away.

Kook!

“Don’t do that… Just stop by once!”

Open your eyes wide and look up with a little flirtation!

It was a really effective strategy because this body was quite cute.

“… Huh, ahem. Is that so? Where?”

It works, after all!

I smiled to myself, crossed my arms slightly, and guided him to the front of the store.

“I’ll guide you!”

“Oh, oh my… !”

Haha, men.

Even just a slight touch to my chest makes me feel helpless.

This guy is definitely pitiful.

I felt a little superior and guided him into the store.

No, I tried to do it.

“Huh? Oh… Sorry! I suddenly remembered something!”

The man’s face rotted as he looked at the store, then he shook my arm away and ran away.

“Ah, that… and you should quit too! That’s all for now!”

“There he goes again… .”

I crossed my arms and frowned.

What’s so bad about this store that everyone runs away from it?

Squeak!

The store manager opened the door slightly and looked outside, perhaps because he heard the commotion in front of the store.

“No one is here. Don’t worry.”

The store manager, who was awkward with people, wouldn’t come out of the store if there was anyone else besides me.

He was something of a hikikomori, but I also didn’t like going out of the house, so I felt a strange sense of kinship with him.

Of course, he’s just awkward at dealing with people, but he’s a kind and good person.

He was also handsome… Is this what they call a loner?

“… Again, ran away again… ?”

“Yes. It’s really a wonderful garden, but why doesn’t anyone recognize it… .”

When I became gloomy, the store manager comforted me.

“Okay, it’s okay… I don’t mind having fewer guests… No, I don’t mind having none… Hehe… .”

A lump of clay.

“Haha… . Oh, thank you, store manager. Thanks to you, I have strength.”

The store manager must be heartbroken too, but he comforts me before himself. Isn’t he a really good person?

It broke my heart that such a person was ignored within the city.

“Sigh… Haa… I, should I comfort you too?”

After receiving comfort from the store manager, I also wanted to comfort this person.

“Heh, hehehe… Okay. I did it earlier… .”

“Oh, I see… .”

I could do it well… but it’s a shame.

“Ahem… Okay, but… Next time you come, I’ll comfort you… .”

“Really?”

The store manager nodded.

“Yes, I will work hard! Let’s aim for 100 customers!”

“Ah, no… That’s hard if there are that many… .”

“Then ten people!”

“… Let’s have about twenty people… .”

For working so hard, I received 50 gold and a flat fee as my daily wage.

***

“… 50 gold?”

“Yes! It’s a little less, but I got other things too, so it’s okay.”

“Oh, really? What did you get…?”

Karin asked with a trembling face.

Are you worried because you seem to have little money?

Well, that could be the case because we need to make money.

But it’s okay because I get something valuable along with the money.

Karin will have no choice but to admit it when she hears this.

If you show them that you’ve been saving hard, they’ll definitely be happy.

Next time, I’ll try using the safe deposit box inside the vagina.

“It’s a fixed amount!”

“… … What?”

“The amount is fixed.”

Karin blinked for a moment and then touched her ear.

“Sorry, I misheard you.”

“Karin, are you okay? Are you working too hard?”

“Huh? No, I was just looking for something today.”

“Okay? Have you decided what to do?”

At those words, Karin forgot what she had been planning to ask earlier and spoke to me with a proud expression.

“Don’t be surprised, Asia! It’s a bar part-time job!”

“… A bar?”

The name itself is unsettling.

“I don’t know much about Asia, but rumors usually spread a lot in bars. If you work at a bar, you can make money and gather information! It’s like killing two birds with one stone… No, it’s killing two birds with one stone!”

No! No bars!

“… Try looking for something else.”

“Why, why?”

“What if I get sexually harassed at a bar? I’m worried that Karin will get fooled by a bad guy.”

Karin made a slightly subtle expression at my concern.

“Oh, is that so…? Okay, then I’ll look for something else. But Asia, are you going to… continue doing that?”

“Yes! The work is easy and the store manager is kind, so I’m going to continue!”

“That, really? If that’s what Asia is like, then that must be it… Hmm… But the rumors are not good… .”

What kind of bad guy spread such a rumor?

For some reason, I was angry and tried hard to defend the store manager.

The store manager isn’t the type of person to be swayed by such rumors, but he can’t stand it when good people get unfairly criticized, right?

※※※※※

“side, squeak… .”

“Huh, hoohihi… Asia, are you a virgin?”

“Ah, no… to the strange pig lord… chuup, chuup… .”

“Oh, really…? That’s good, heh, heh heh… .”
