"Wait a minute," Tione sharply caught the key information, "You mean to say, Saber, Emiya Shirou actually appeared in Pleasure Street?"
"Uh… yes, I did see him in the central area of Pleasure Street...", Raul stammered in response.
The central area of Pleasure Street was undoubtedly the headquarters of the Ishtar Familia.
The closer one got to that area, the higher the quality and price of brothel services. Adventurers without high income generally didn't dare to step into such a place lightly.
"ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!"
Just as the words fell, an angry shout interrupted Raul's explanation. An elven girl rushed over and grabbed Raul's collar, her eyes full of indignation.
"Lord Emiya would never go to that kind of place!"
This girl had been saved by Emiya and Riveria during a mission in the Kingdom of Rakia, and afterward, she joined the Loki Familia. She was quite gifted. Although still only Level 1, she had already awakened some rather decent magic and skills.
Because of that rescue experience, she was full of gratitude and admiration for Emiya and Riveria and was an ardent fan of theirs.
"Eh, um… maybe I saw wrong…", Raul, being grabbed by the collar, hurriedly waved his hands in an attempt to calm the sudden storm, but clearly, his words failed to settle the excited elf girl.
For a while, the atmosphere became quite chaotic. To avoid getting involved in the dispute, Tione grabbed Tiona's hand and quietly stepped back.
"What's wrong, sis?", Tiona looked back at the ruckus with some confusion.
"What Raul said is probably true…", Tione whispered, her voice so low that only Tiona could hear.
"Eh? Why?", Tiona frowned, "Sis, don't go accusing someone wrongly. I don't think Emiya-kun would ever go to a place like that."
Tione shook her head, a complicated look in her eyes, "Because of the scent… I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it carefully, he really does carry that kind of scent…"
"What scent?", Tiona looked even more puzzled.
Tione narrowed her eyes and spoke softly, "The kind of scent only Amazons can sense, the scent of a male…"
"Huh? I don't smell anything at all?", Tiona had a blank look on her face.
Tione sighed, her smile tinged with helplessness, "Because you've never been a normal Amazon since childhood…"
Tiona puffed her cheeks in protest, "What do you mean I'm not a normal Amazon?"
Tione ignored her sister's complaint and squinted her eyes, "That man… even though he already has Lady Riveria, Alicia, and Gale, he still shows such intense desire, what a lousy male."
Tiona glanced at her, clearly disagreeing with that view, "Sis, aren't you being too judgmental? Emiya-kun doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"Hmph… Men are all like that, never satisfied. Except for my Captain," Tione said so.
Tiona blinked, "But Captain Finn clearly said he wants to form a harem, sis."
"Shut up!", Tione's face turned red instantly. She gritted her teeth and glared at her sister, "That's just a responsibility as the strongest warrior of our race. The captain… deep down, he only has me."
"Sis, that's enough. The way you're deceiving yourself is honestly a little pitiful."
"Guh…"
Tiona thought for a moment, "How about this, why don't we ask them and find out?"
"Them?"
"Ah, the adventurers from the Ishtar Familia."
Tiona: "If Emiya-kun has ever been to Pleasure Street, they'd definitely know best."
Tiona pulled back a familiar Amazon girl. She had a curvaceous figure, a glamorous face, and radiated the unique charm and wildness of an Amazon from head to toe.
The relationship between the Ishtar Familia and Freya Familia was extremely bad, full of hostility toward each other.
Conversely, with the Loki Familia, except for the extreme animosity between [Man-Killer] Phryne and [Sword Princess] Ais, there was almost no overt conflict.
Especially cheerful members like Tiona maintained good relations with many in the Ishtar Familia.
This Amazon girl was one of the Level 3 adventurers who had been defeated by Emiya Shirou in battle. If Emiya were present, he might recognize her.
"You all already know about Lord Emiya?", The girl shouted instinctively in surprise and panic upon hearing Tiona's question.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately realized she had slipped up and froze in place. However, it was already impossible to take it back.
Tiona and Tione exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stepped forward, closing in on the Amazon girl.
"Emiya-kun… he really goes to brothels?"
The Amazon girl blinked her alluring eyes in surprise, then shook her head and answered as if it were obvious, "Nope, Lord Emiya wouldn't go to a place like a brothel."
"Hmm?", Tione and Tiona were both stunned.
However, the next words instantly froze their expressions.
"He comes to our Ishtar Familia's temple," The Amazon girl added.
"…Why does it feel like this is even worse," Tiona muttered softly.
Tione frowned and continued asking, "So, what does Emiya-kun do at the temple?"
The Amazon girl hesitated for a while, seeming unsure. But then she thought, it wasn't exactly a secret anyway, many people knew about it. Even outsiders like Gale Ryuu had heard rumors.
"Basically, he comes to our temple to… fiercely torment the chosen girls," The girl said this with a straight face, even with a touch of dreamy expression.
It was actually proper combat.
"Huh?"
"And others cheer for Lord Emiya from the sidelines," The Amazon girl added with a seductive smile.
"HUH???"
"In the end, Lord Emiya leaves his mark on the completely defeated females."
The Amazon girl said this with pride in her voice.
Actually, the "mark" she referred to was the result of leveling up after being defeated by Emiya. The upgraded Phantom Trio Stars, each of them gained new skills upon leveling up.
"Sis, are you okay?", Tiona asked with concern upon seeing Tione's expression, "Your heartbeat is so fast."
"Of course it is," The Amazon girl said with a meaningful smile, "Just imagining that kind of scene, as an Amazon, will make you like this… Ah, but Tiona, don't worry. You're special."
Tiona: "Ugh… I really don't get it."
"Guh…"
Tione gritted her teeth, "That man, Emiya Shirou, he's insulting the Amazon race!"
She said so, but the Amazon girl across from her simply observed her slightly trembling body and smiled softly.
"Wanna come watch?", She said.
"What?", Tione blinked in confusion.
"Tomorrow is my turn," The girl's eyes showed a trace of anticipation, "I'll be having the ceremony with Lord Emiya, ah no, after tomorrow, I should be calling him Master."
The so-called ceremony was a fight against Emiya before advancing to Level 4. Through extreme battle to break through and raise one's abilities.
"Why not come and observe, Tione-chan? You can see it all with your own eyes… Ah, but Tiona shouldn't come, you wouldn't understand."
"I really don't get it…"
Tiona sounded a bit glum, "Why does it feel like I'm being excluded by my own people?"
The girl ignored Tiona's complaint and smiled even more seductively, "So, Tione, want to come see it? But I must warn you, it might completely destroy your view of life."
"Even if you're a first-tier adventurer."
Lub-Dub! Lub-Dub! Lub-Dub!
Tione's heart beat heavily, the sound clear in her ears.
After a moment, Tione raised her head and showed a mocking smile, "Heh heh~ Looks like you don't understand at all what it means to be a first-tier adventurer."
Her voice brimmed with confidence and sternness, "I won't be scared by you."
"To yield to a mere Level 3? That would be utterly disgraceful."
"You pathetic females who've forgotten the Amazonian pride, let me give you all a proper lesson."
"Sis…", Tiona couldn't help but whisper after hearing those words.
Tione gave a determined smile, "I will win."
———
"This is… the Ishtar Familia?", Tione looked at the scene before her in stunned silence.
She stood inside the Ishtar Familia's residence, watching the female warriors busy in the goddess' garden.
Originally, Tione thought that as the [Queen of the Night] and ruler of Pleasure Street, the Ishtar Familia's residence would be a place full of debauchery.
Mentioning the Ishtar Familia, what came to her mind were scenes of hunting men and a life devoted to pleasure.
However, the scene before her was completely beyond her expectations.
The Amazonian female warriors were training drenched in sweat, some doing push-ups, some doing squats, some doing sit-ups.
Others were engaged in actual combat sparring. The air was full of the scent of sweat and blood-pumping energy.
"Did I misunderstand something…", Tione muttered to herself, a little lost.
In truth, the Ishtar Familia used to be exactly as she imagined, indulgent, pleasure-seeking.
But now, although the Familia still retained a somewhat lavish aura, the core group of female warriors had undergone some changes.
In essence, they were still in pursuit of the ultimate pleasurable experience.
"Raging Snake?", An Amazon warrior noticed Tione, "Why are you here?"
Then, her gaze moved to the other warrior who had brought Tione, "Tower of Stars, Why did you bring someone from another Familia here?"
Tower of Stars—that was the title of the warrior who brought Tione here.
She was called Tower of Stars because she stood at a towering height of 1.85 meters, tall even among the long-limbed Amazon warriors, thus earning the nickname "Tower."
