I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 15 - Touring the Dormitories

I enter the main lobby. Thankfully for my eyes, the interior is not pure red. It looks like they decided to use it for smaller details like some tapestry, hanging banners and a pinch of paint here and there. The walls are decorated with dark wood while the floor is made out of red square tiles.

The room is decently spacious and features two counters in the far corners with an employee behind each. There are two segments with chairs and tables just near the entrance. The staff wears black tuxedos and uniforms, obviously with red shirts and finishings. Both of the men seem to be already busy with customers so I sit on a sofa and glance around. This place really gives professional and high-class vibes. Hopefully, I'll be able to achieve a similar feeling. Well... Maybe without slapping purple on everything...

A few minutes later, another person in the company's outfit emerges from the door between the two counters. He exchanges a word with his colleague and starts walking my way with a smile. Since there's no one else besides me and the other two customers, I stand up expecting him to be approaching me exactly. He quickly arrives at my place and bows lightly.

"Greetings honoured Sir! My name is Lucas and I'll have the pleasure of assisting you today. How may I serve you?"

He speaks without dropping the smile. I glance at him. A fine young man around my height with short blond hair neatly swept to the back and blueish eyes.

"The pleasure is all mine. I've come to take a look at some slaves. I'm in need of servants and my recruitment isn't really fruitful."

I explain without mentioning the cook yet. It would be a good idea to check some generally.

"I see. Anything that interests you in particular, Sir..."

"Carter. And I'd like to have a general look first. Anyone who can work as a servant in a typical mansion is fine. Is that okay?"

He bows again. "Naturally! Please follow me then, Sir Carter."

We exit through a door on the right, and after a moment in a short corridor, we take stairs down by one level. We enter a slightly wider one, much less decorated but still in the dark wood and red fashion. There are tens of wooden doors, which as I assume, are to the rooms where the slaves stay. He leads me further, and after a few intersections, we go through a door, walking into a spacious room with a sofa, a low table and something akin to a theatrical stage in front of it.

He gestures over the sofa. "Please make yourself comfortable, Sir Carter. I'll go through our records and quickly introduce the merchandise in waves."

Saying that, he first walks to a door on the other side and knocks four times. Then he bows and leaves the way we came from. A minute later, the other entrance opens and a woman in a maid outfit, with red details, appears in the room while holding a tray with a glass, some cookies and a jug with water. She has short orange hair decorated with a headband and a pretty mature face painted with a professional smile.

She places the tray on the table and pours some water into the glass. Then, she bows and leaves me alone. I'm left quite surprised. That is because I'd have thought they'd employ cute young girls in more revealing outfits to get an edge over a customer, but here they have this fine woman in more of a Victorian-style outfit. Am I disappointed? Not really.

「Who said that the maid outfit has to barely cover anything to be hot? Whoever did, they definitely haven't seen a great woman in a perfectly tailored suit.」

While I'm wildly exploring my imagination, someone knocks twice and Lucas comes back with a line of people of various ages and genders, and they have only underwear on. All of them are Humans. I count around twenty. They walk over to the stage and turn to face me. Lucas stands in front of them with a notebook and a pencil, already taking some notes.
