【Confused】Section 4 Regulus (I)
In the evening, Regulus walked out of the "Fire and Sin" tavern in the corner of the entertainment area, he didn't drink too much this time, because he was still able to stand firm and distinguish the direction, not because he had restrained his drinking, but because there was no "Tears of the Moon" that he loved to drink, the wine was said to be in only one tavern in the whole city of Lori, but because of the previous conflict with the tavern owner, he could no longer go to the "Chivalry" tavern.

After being thrown out of the chivalry tavern, he stopped for a day, trying to find something else to fill his empty heart, but to no avail, so he had to indulge himself in alcohol again after doing nothing, in order to forget the troubles and get some peace.
The alley outside the tavern was covered with standing water, as it had just rained heavily during the day. Regulus stepped into a puddle of water, and his hair was unkempt and his beard was reflected in the water, and he almost didn't recognize himself. He felt that although he was in the mortal world now, he was more like he was isolated from the world, and everything that happened around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, and he didn't know what he should do. Then he remembered the old man who had appeared in front of him at the Chivalry Tavern a few days ago, and he couldn't recall any more details because he was too drunk, and he remembered that the old man seemed to say that he was a member of the Church of Light, hoping that he would cooperate with them, but he didn't remember anything about what he was cooperating.
"It's none of my business to teach or whatever, it's none of my business to fight for power or fight, I'm just a ...... now," Regulus muttered to himself as he walked out of the alley, all these days he had been seeking solace in Alyssa's memories except for drinking. When he couldn't sleep at night, he let the memories that didn't belong to him play before his eyes, in order to tell himself that Alyssa had existed - and now he was almost unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Whenever he saw Alyssa serving the dragon slayer without complaint, he would always feel a pang of heartache and guilt, guilt for his scumbag behavior in his previous life, and heartache for Alyssa's unworthiness.
"Alyssa, why are you so stupid?" Rheugulus sighed and shook his head, "I don't deserve your ...... for me."
Regulus walked out of the alley, he remembered the way Alyssa used to cry in his arms, which is why he was obsessed with the wine called "Tears of the Moon", Alyssa she is the symbol of the moon, and "Tears of the Moon" may be saying that they are her tears, but the wine is really as bitter as tears, originally drinking to forget, but this makes him remember, and it is more and more profound, this may be another joke made God play on him. Just as he was thinking about Alyssa's tears, he noticed that his clothes were also wet with tears, and when he looked up, it suddenly began to rain in the sky again. In order to find a place to shelter from the rain, Regulus casually broke into a nearby red-carpeted house that looked like a hotel.
Not long after Regulus entered the house, he immediately realized that this was not a hotel at all, for he saw several scantily clad women walking up the stairs with some noble men in noble clothes in their arms, and under the stairs was a bar with candles lit on the table, and the candles were very dimly lit, and the shadows of the candles swayed on the faces of the middle-aged women sitting behind the bar. A man hurried in from behind Regulus, who was also drenched most of his body, he ignored Regulus who was standing in the doorway, and walked straight to the middle-aged woman sitting behind the bar, took out several strings of jewelry from the pocket of his coat, and said, "You know, tell Rebecca to come out!"
"Sorry, Rebecca is entertaining other guests. The woman replied in a lazy prolonged voice, and with two fingers she picked up one of the pearl necklaces that the man had placed on the bar, placed it in the candlelight, and looked at it carefully, and the firelight reflected in the pearls on her wrinkled face, "Is this the jewelry you stole from your wife?" Your string of pearls is quite suitable for the sign of our 'Pearl Courtyard', but the price of Rebecca has recently increased, and you know that she is more sought-after, and she is still in service, so please go back." The woman pushed the jewelry on the table back into the man's arms, but the string of pearls remained in her hand.
"What, you're lying to me?!"
"This string of pearls will be used to make up for your previous credit, and you will come back when Rebecca is free and you will bring enough money!" she said, shoving the pearl into her pocket.
"You stinking! I'm not done with you!" the man cursed and turned away.
At this time, Regulus realized that he was not breaking into a hotel, but the famous "Pearl Courtyard" in the Lori entertainment district. He remembered hearing Tatsuji talk about his various brothels in Lori when he was sailing for Miller's warship, and according to him, the pearl house was the one with the best service of service he knew. In order to avoid derogatory terms, it is common for those who spend in brothels to avoid derogatory terms by referring to women in special services as "Del", and Rebecca's great name, Regulus, heard from Datz. Tatsuji said he had only asked Rebecca to serve once, after he made a fortune at the casino, but that experience was one he will never forget.
Regulus was not in the mood to vent at the moment, and he was about to turn away when he was stopped by the woman behind the bar.
"This little brother, are you going to leave if you don't try?" The woman smiled maliciously, and Regulus felt his heart beat faster, "Now that it's raining so hard outside, where are you going to run?"
"I'm sorry, I just broke in to avoid the rain, I'll go ......" Regulus, although his heart fluctuated a little, he couldn't allow himself to betray Koyales, he couldn't let himself desecrate his thoughts about Alyssa, even though he knew deep down that these were just excuses for him to escape.
"I don't look like you're dressed like a rich kid, and I'll give you a good price for your first visit!" The woman came out from behind the bar, and her necklace was full of gold, silver, and precious stones, and the weight seemed to crush her, and perhaps that was why she looked a little hunchbacked. She walked towards Regulus, and as she went, she said, "You can't be blessed with a Delor of Rebecca's level, but we still have a Delor who is still excellent despite her poor appearance, Luna, and come out to receive guests!" the woman shouted into the room deep on the first floor.
At this point, Regulus knew that he couldn't get out of anything, and he thought that he would just give some money and leave later, when a short, thin figure slowly walked out from the depths of the corridor on the first floor.
"Don't look at Luna's young age, she's been with us in the Pearl Courtyard for ten years!
When the girl came out of the darkness, the dim candlelight made her seem to loom, and the flickering candle shadow made it difficult to see her. Regulus noticed that she was only as tall as his chest, and her hair seemed to be blonde, which reminded him once again of his sister Alyssa, who loved to be spoiled in his arms. The old bustard of the pearl courtyard brought a candlestick from the table, illuminating the face of the maiden called "Luna", but it also startled Regulus. Because the girl had a large scar on the right side of her face, from the side of her forehead to her chin, the skin was wrinkled, and it was shaped like a crescent moon. Regulus's reaction when he was frightened was also seen by the girl, and he noticed that the girl's eyes became very vicious for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, little brother, the scar on Luna's child's face is caused by burns she received when she was a child, she has lived in our Pearl Yard since she was ten years old, and the burns were made before that, and she never told us how she got here. Don't look at her petite appearance, she's twenty years old, and she's so much more skilled in serving than many of the girls we have here!"
"But she ......" Regulus still stared at the shocking scar on her face, not coming back to his senses.
"Well, it's all dark anyway, and you don't have to keep an eye on her face, little brother, please!" said the bustard, pushing Regulus and the girl upstairs, and Regulus suddenly felt that the scene was familiar. His hesitation just now was not to discriminate against the girl's appearance, but to know what was going on with the girl, because from the first time he saw the girl, he felt that she had a feeling of familiarity with her. He noticed that the girl's ears were a little pointed, similar to those of the legendary elves, but not as pointed.
"Man, there's nothing good......" Regulus vaguely heard the girl beside him mutter.
"Luna, be careful and entertain your guests, or ......" The bustard's tone suddenly became much more fierce, but then she instantly changed her smile to Regulus and said, "I'm sorry, this kid has a bit of a stubborn temper, but her service is absolutely top-notch!"
Upstairs, in one of the smallest rooms, Luna and Regulus sat side by side on the edge of the bed, and the room was so dark that it was impossible to see their faces as the old bustard had said.
"What do you want to do first?" the girl's voice was completely different from the one she had muttered before, and she looked very shy at the moment, but Regulus swore that she felt her resentment in it, and that she had pretended to be respectful.
"No, I want to get to know you first. ”
"What kind of know, what part of my body do you want to know?" she let out a high-pitched laugh that didn't match her petite frame.
"I don't think much of you, I just broke in by mistake to avoid the rain......"
"Don't be funny, any man who comes in here will say things like 'I don't think anything wrong,' and I'll let me serve you only because I have the lowest price, and you don't look like a rich man......" Luna said and began to drag her clothes, and when her fragrant shoulders were revealed, Regulus saw a few pieces of black green.
"No, that's a misunderstanding!" Regulus closed his eyes, took a gold bar from his coat pocket, threw it on the bed, and hurried out of the room.
The old bustard watched Regulus come down from the stairs in a hurry, and said softly: "I didn't expect this kid to be done so quickly......" The voice was very small, but it was also clearly heard by Regulus, it seems that he has not lost all his supernormal abilities, at least his extraordinary hearing is still retained. Regulus didn't have the heart to defend himself, he just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. As he ran out of the gate, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Luna walking down the stairs with the gold bar, disheveled, and the bustard's eyes widening at the sight of the gold bar.
That night, Regulus lay on the rotten wooden bed at home and couldn't sleep for a long time. He had been thinking about the girl named Luna he had seen before, he wasn't thinking about that kind of thing about men and women, although he had tasted too many female flesh in tens of thousands of years in his previous life, but those were all heard from others, he didn't have any memory of himself, if he had to say it, he only had the memory of his life as a dragon slayer from Alyssa. In that life, he had sought solace in the maid Alyssa many times, but now he could only feel the guilt of Alyssa. In this life, as a rural young man who grew up in the false town of Biledea, Regulus has not really experienced love-love, and his first budding of love may only be the curse of Kyales, and that obsession with Kyales he is still not sure if it is love. All he thought about Luna at the moment was the scars on her face, the resentment hidden behind her words, and the confused look in her eyes, similar to her current self. He wants to know her story, understand her, help her, and guide her out of confusion, maybe this will make him no longer confused, maybe this will allow him to find a trace of the value of existence.
