Roaring Heroes Battle the Overlord (Ainz)

Chapter 76: The Captain and the Anti-Porn Campaign

The bustling market was crowded with people coming and going, with vendors shouting loudly to promote their goods. This was indeed the heart of the capital city of the Re-Estize, and even at noon, the vendors and pedestrians were still bustling about, filled with vibrant energy.

EeDeChi and Barrett made their way through the market, ignoring the loud voices of vendors who seemed eager to shout directly into their customers' ears.

This was a rare large market; buying just ordinary food and drink seemed too mundane. Barrett wanted to find something special, but he hadn't decided what yet.

After squeezing through a crowd gathered around a fish fry and barbecue stand, Barrett arrived in the area of traveling merchants.

In this world where transportation is difficult, traveling merchants weave delicate threads between countries, tribes, and towns, allowing gold coins and goods to flow slowly along these threads like tiny droplets of water, connecting one closed world to another.

Compared to the noisy small vendors nearby, the traveling merchants were quieter, perhaps due to the hardships of their journeys sapping their strength to shout, or maybe the trials of their worldly travels had given them an air of quiet pride.

Interestingly, traveling merchants and adventurers had some similarities. Both lived for gold, wandered without a fixed home, and considered the world their playground. However, traveling merchants battled with goods and long, arduous journeys, while adventurers fought with swords, magic, and monsters.

In the lively market, EeDeChi craned her neck, looking around, seemingly searching for something.

Barrett occasionally shared tips on shopping and identifying counterfeit items, but she merely responded with noncommittal "mm-hmm"s, leading Barrett to suspect she wasn't really paying attention.

"What are you looking for?" Barrett couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know where there's a brothel?" EeDeChi's question stunned Barrett.

"What do you want with a brothel?" Barrett asked, amused and baffled. Suddenly, he realized, "Wait a minute, you want to go... go crackdown on prostitution again!"

Bad memories from his time in the Baharuth suddenly surged to the forefront of his mind. EeDeChi had stormed into a brothel, swinging her giant sword and attacking everyone in sight. She had beaten the guards, killed the nobles, and chased the naked prostitutes and clients out into the cold, making them line up shivering. In the end, she set the place on fire, burning it to the ground, which landed both her and Barrett on a wanted list.

That wasn't the end of it. She had also rescued two twin girls from the brothel, which added two extra burdens to their adventurer party. It wasn't until recently that they had finally managed to get rid of the girls.

"Do you know where there's a brothel? You're so well-traveled; you must know!" EeDeChi's eyes widened with a pleading look, as if she was a little girl wanting her father to buy her ice cream.

Barrett's heart skipped a beat, nearly softening, but he quickly shook his head. "I don't know! I don't know anything! I've never been to such a place in the capital of the Re-Estize."

"Really?" EeDeChi's gaze turned skeptical, her eyes narrowing.

"Of course it's true," Barrett said, crossing his arms and avoiding eye contact.

Of course, it was a lie. Barrett was quite familiar with the local sex industry. When gold jingled in his pockets, he patronized a high-class brothel with aristocratic background and fucked a 19-year-old beauty while being licked ass by a 25-year-old woman.
