People saying this isnt love and just lust are ridiculous, like wtf do you mean lust he isnt virgin like you, this isnt his first relationship and if its lust wouldnt the first girl also been lusted for, its always fun seeing weebs jaded view of love, and in the first place lust and love most of the time are intertwined if there is lust there could be love and there is no love without lust, trust me its not that complicated

Guys.

Yurina bought a BOOK for him. And not just a book. It was a fucking MAGIC GRIMOIRE.

Do you realize how big of a deal that is in settings like this?

This thing between Yurina and the MC is most emphatically not one-sided.
and a outfit, hostess girls dont give out gifts like that, they get gifts. That she is getting anything for him is most likely out of her own pocket. At the very least the author is having her set herself apart from the typical hostess, were it goes from there remains to be seen.

On one hand, its clear that over multiple meetings his feelings are growing - so it's not just a lust a first sight thirsty af thing
On the other hand something still strikes me as off about the whole thing. Hope our boy doesn't end up heartbroken. Or, at least let it only be a short-term heartbreak.
Yeah somthing does feel very off. She did get gifts for him (also unclear why they both did on same day, was that a holiday or somthing) Which is very odd for a hostess to do, they get gifts a lot, but giving anything that isn't just a a generic knickknack is very unusual. Which may be the author trying to make her seem serous about him as in Japan it would be a clear sign, but even still somthing just feels very off. Like why did the matron come over for, we also only get a portion of the conversations, and we don't know the protocol in that society. Though on the other hand the two friends thought this was a good place for him to meet a girl, so maybe its normal there? But the set up so far just screams looming disaster. Her tattoos also bug me, we haven't seen others girls with tattoos really, They could be a style choice, but I bet they have meaning, all the girls in the bar have them, and as far as I can see one of the tattoos all of them have is a collar, the other bits are different but generally on shoulder and wrists. They are in hard to hide and easy to check locations, perhaps slave marking or somthing. I don't like that its the only women with tattoos so far. Just so many redflags, while at the same time the other guys seem to think everything is fine, so very unsure, as they would know if somthing is fundamentally wrong, right?

The same shit. It is not like they can refuse the nobles or the rich fucks.

But I guess is the author's taste so I have all respect for it lol.
You say that like any of the girls can say no to the nobles, we literally saw adventures forced to march to their deaths without putting up a fight. If adventures, experienced fighters cant even fight back you think any village girl can? As for rich folk, unclear if they can say no, guards will back nobles (the one paying them) but one of the few good things about nobles is that there is less powerful individuals around to abuse their authority, that power is more focused on fewer individuals, making those individuals more of a threat, but less likely to be encountered. So yeah no stopping it if a noble does somthing, but I doubt a noble would go to that shop as it seems to low class and inexpensive, and even if they did they would have a favorite that no one else meets, so doubt that is happening here. That leaves rich folk, but this town doesn't seem to have any, and even if it did they would need the nobles backing to keep the guards from stopping them as the guards aren't paid by the rich they are paid by the nobles who the rich cant really touch so they have little to no fear of the rich unless a noble backs them, which I can't really see the nobles here giving such backing.
So no there is a difference between a hostess and a hooker.

Peeps are missing a thing here....
First set of encounters he is Introduced to "Mama".... And got a passing grade to continue to more or less exclusively ...retain... the services of this particular Hostess... Well outside normal interactions.
Them Madames have Opinions... And Keigo got the Nod.

And let's be fair.. He may be "strange" , but he is by now an accomplished monster hunter, somewhat of a monster tamer, a manufacturer of magical equipment that's way more valuable than he realises, on Friendly Footing with the previous Lord, and friendly enough footing with the current Lord.

It's not as if he's a bad catch for any of the ladies in that establishment, and yet they don't interfere between him and her..

Not the least interested in spoiling myself by looking up stuff from the LN, and the author may still be throwing us a curveball, but as things are going there's a future there.

I should be more careful where I jump on to get a feel for series… anyway yeah this almost certainly isn’t love because above all they haven’t even started dated. More like infatuation, a crush, attraction, etc. Can definitely blossom into love though and honestly I don’t hate his chances. It at least doesn’t feel like she’s just doing her job one-sidedly (I mean he asked to exchange gifts and got a freakin magic book and a shirt; made him look like the deadbeat only giving one self made gift).

You overcomplicated things.
Of course love and lust can't be separated, but this is a hookers and we don't know how many is their body counts.
If you are okay with dating hookers and love to get cucked, well you do you

Thanks for the chapter, translator-san!
The funniest thing for me about this chapter is him complaining about others having fun with the girls in that place. Like they went there to do exactly that. He is the weird one paying a girl to teach him about things in that place.

Kinda conflicted on seeing her as a love interest considering her job x_x..

As he already thought she's probably doing the same things with other guys (and then the pair behind him), since she's obviously just doing her job so can't really see it as "romantic" x_x

So many incels in this thread :dogkek:

Yurina bought the grimoire, not just any, a spell book that isn't a trinket, that's more expensive than all the drinks he had to pay. Moreover, she bought him a jacket, that's even more considerate.
She also got very close to him willingly, something it's not allowed for a hostess in that kind of place.

He is clearly more after spending time with her, than lusting over, could reciprocate her being close, but chosen not to.

tl;dr Yurina likes books, make a library together ;)

Thanks for scanlation!
