JK Haru is a Sexworker in Another World volume 6 - Ko Hiratori and J-ta Yamada

 Time for the latest instalment in perhaps one of the best isekai, if a bit of an unorthodox twist, I have been reading in the past years.



And not because it is ecchi or something, because it barely is, but it just has this damn good story of the strenght of a girl, who has to use her body to survive in a male-orientated fantasy world.

And in this volume, JK Haru is out for a vengeance for what happened to her friend in volume 5!  So what happens when the rain stops?

Unleashing her true combat skill level, she kills her first soldier, one she used to like before, to get into the camp.  Far above their skill level, she cuts a swathe through the force, even taking out the famed decurion Subaya effortlessly.  She recalls her very first customer was God himself, and he granted her a skill that absorbed the experience and skills of all the men that came in her.

Decurion Bisque arrives, but she removes his Emotion Killer skill moments before avengening Shequraso, making him feel all the pain of loss in his dying moments.  Facing the centurion, who was nothing but a low level fraud, she wiped out the entire garrison and now faces the monsters on the border alone, a piercing gaze following her movements.  



But while Shequraso only gets a modest burial attended by the girls of the brothel, the soldiers are granted a heroes funeral.  Haru takes up singing and the guitar, as she believes she must fill her departed friend's shoes to keep the shop running.  As it rains outside, the strange silverhaired guy appears in front of the shop, stating he just wanted to see Haru's face when she goes out to meet him.  He tells her a strange story about how she is the one from the past that will end his tale in the future before disappearing in the rain, but not after inviting her to visit his place next time.

Later that night she is purchased by an older, dual sword wielding man who wants to figure out what happened to both the soldiers and the monsters.  He tries to trick her for information, but she diffuses the situation by sharing her views on the world and being a sex worker.  As they consumate, he tells her he wants her to become his next and final woman, as he invites her to come along and slay the demon lord.
 
And so the volume ends with some tea time between the girls, and the sad news that the next volume to come out will also be the final one...
