Chapter 1163 – Confrontation

“…An interesting thought.”

At Cloudy’s words, Cadia seemed to be taken aback for a moment. I said something similar to this the other day, but if Cloudy spoke so aggressively, I couldn’t help but feel strange.

Because Cloudy’s thoughts of her are a bit different from the general ones.

Hehe, Cloudy. Don’t talk like that too much. Ah. Let’s eat some food. It looks good here.”
“Ah, yes. Then.”

Anyway, since the meal was served, we filled our stomachs while slicing the meat.

It was a better place than I thought.

These days, high-end cuisine and chewy things the size of millet made with shit are prevalent. In the end, the basis of high-end cuisine can be said to be specialized meats that can fill the stomach like this.

In the first place, high quality is not particularly delicious, but it is hard to find, so the high quality tag is attached. Price and taste are not necessarily proportional.

Anyway, when rice and alcohol started to go in, the real story began. In the previous self-introduction, it was a little more in-depth story, or something about what I have done and what I have been doing so far.

What’s up Is there anything difficult

While we were talking about that, we also talked about the enemies we had fought and so on.

“You’ve really stepped on great strides. These are truly heroic feats that deserve to be praised. Thank you again.”

After hearing the battle story, Cadia politely thanked him. Well, is it because it was recognized by the saintess? Everyone seemed a little shy.

“Listening to the saga like this, I feel that the saintess should also show something.”
“Huh? Does she have something to show you?”

Cadia smiled and answered Claudy’s question.

“Of all the things a saintess can show, the best thing is, of course, divine power. She demonstrates the use of divine power as a memorial…”

Saying that, Cadia raised her hand. No fuck! No! If Cadia shows her her divine power now, Hilde will be fucked!

“Ah! Cadia!”

Wilderness Blood Corn.

With superhuman reflexes, he extrudes wild blood corn very precisely and gently grabs Cadia’s wrist her. There is no need to panic at this level. The casting was completely blocked by grabbing her wrist.

Holding her hand like that.

It comes down very gently.

“Eh? Why?”

After noticing that her wrist her was grabbed, Cadia asked while looking at my face her. She looks a little taken aback. Oh shit, but what am I supposed to do? No matter what happens, she must be stopped from directly displaying her divine power in her.

Damn this…!

I never thought there would be an ambush like this!

Not only did I have to reveal my identity to her, but I also had to keep the situation showing my divine power in my head!

My opponent is Cadiara, she was careless!

“No. Because her wrists are beautiful.”
“Ha. Go, you suddenly say that.”

Appropriate but reasonable.

When she gave her such compliment casually, Cadia cleared her throat once and then lowered her hand to her. I really shouldn’t be fooling around with this, and no matter what happens, I have to stop showing my divine power directly…!

Naturally!

“Anyway, Cadia uses divine power very well. Well, I haven’t used it because I’m not particularly injured, but is it one tower in the church?”
“If you’re asking if she’s the best, you could say she’s about the same as the Pope. This saintess didn’t get this position for gambling.”

Admiration bursts out at his confident words of her.

“Five.”
“I see… A saint is a saint. After all, it’s amazing.”

Great. While inducing the words naturally in this way, you should erase from your head that you are going to show your divine power directly.

“Now, the holy woman’s divine power… “

That was the moment.

ㅡRemember.

I had no choice but to grab Cadia’s wrist once again.

“…!”

Lisha, who had come into my field of vision for a moment, flinched just as her smiling face her did. Although she is smiling right now, it seems that she is greatly frightened inside of her… It seems that even Risha did not expect this situation! It’s like this nonsense!

The moment Cadia tried to say something to me again.

“Ah, ah! Lady Cadia!”

Hilde shouted.

“What’s going on?”

At Hilde’s words, Cadia withdrew her hand her.

“So!”

Hilde pretended to be indifferent, but I could tell. The strangely trembling eyes her must have been frightened by the recent work.

“Spread, usually! What kind of work are you doing!”
“Yes! I’m curious about that. I’m also curious about the daily life of a saintess. It feels like a job far away.”

In Hilde’s ad-lib, Riztina put in the right choo-imsae! Apparently Liz Tina also realized something about her divine power her!

My sister is good!

“It’s a daily routine. First of all, you can say that most of the day is spent working on paperwork. The time to pray and establish doctrine… Honestly, there isn’t much. After all, high-ranking jobs are administrative tasks like that.”
“Ah! That’s probably the case too! There was an image that a saint would train her faith her all day long. It wasn’t like that. Hehe.”
“Heh, that would rather be close to the life of a paladin.”

But when I see a real succubus and a saint talking like that, I can only feel uneasy.

I glanced at Karin before Cadia could say anything to her. Please, with the meaning of saying something.

“…”

Looking into my eyes, Karin took her drink and opened her mouth.

“Ah, but I’m curious. How can I increase that divine power? I understand how it’s similar to mana, but I’m not sure of the exact principle.”

Nice.

You asked a very good question.

Karin looked into my eyes and smiled a little.
Also, Hilde and Lisa seemed relieved.

“Ah, you mean divine power.”

Fortunately, the response is good.

“Certainly. Divine power is similar to mana, but it is a completely different energy source. Its purpose and direction are all different. Didn’t I say that mages create a mana ring in their hearts, and warriors build up mana in their entire body? It’s like the latter.”

Good night.

It went very naturally.

If you continue the story like this, you will be able to completely erase the thought of showing divine power from your head.

“Live by holding on to the divine power in the body with faith and spiritual power. Unlike mana, which is continuously attached to the body once accumulated, divine power can suddenly disappear at any moment. That is why doctrine is important.”
“Oh… If you violate the doctrine, will the divine power decrease?”

Karin asked with a tone full of interest. Okay. After all, it’s Karin. Since it was the same Cassie, I was sure from the beginning that there would be something that worked well.

“No. It’s not like that. Just breaking the doctrine a little doesn’t make it fall… No. That’s not it either. To be honest, it’s unknown. That standard isn’t absolute.”

A non-absolute criterion.

“Because what we worship is God. Can we define God from a human point of view? So there is no absolute standard. Everything is vague.”

It was a clear explanation that could only be given because she was truly a saint.

“Nevertheless, it is the religion of the present age that has developed and developed again. It has been directly seeking and establishing doctrines in the sea of ​​​​ambiguity. Well, to answer, in general, keeping the doctrines is good for divine power .”
“Hmm… Something is difficult.”

Karin seemed to ponder for a moment before she said that.

“Are you interested in theology? I’ll give you a primer.”
“No. It’s okay. There’s no need for that.”
“Is that so? It’s a pity. I wish I could have joined the Brass Holy Angel Society.”
Hehe, Cadia. Do you want to be accepted as a follower?”
“If the number of followers increases, it’s a good thing anyway.”

It is.

“Um… But Cadia sister. Then, what exactly does divine power have?”

Winia’s question.

“Sacred power is the power of a god. It is second to none as mana. It strengthens the body, and has a great effect on health and longevity. And beauty.”
“Strengthen the body.”

Holy power also strengthens the body with a feeling similar to mana.

“Oh, but he doesn’t look like a professional fighter.”
“Of course, this saintess is not a professional warrior.”

At Liz Tina’s words, Cadia nodded her head.

She said, “Although she has a stronger body compared to normal people, the only thing she has learned about combat is the basic combat training she received as a nun. I’m just taking care of it.”

Body

“Are the nuns receiving basic combat training?”
“It’s natural. Because there may be something that the nuns have to fight for. Of course, not many nuns fall into the field of professional combat.”
“There aren’t many… Come to think of it, almost all paladins were men, right?”

As expected of Liztina, she carries on the conversation skillfully.

That way, we talked while eating. It wasn’t a very long time, but we must have learned a lot from each other because we asked a lot of questions.

“Ah… It’s already time like this.”

Still, time passed quickly.

Although Cadia took time today, she couldn’t clear the day. It was time to dig, and we got up.

“Today was a very enjoyable day. I’ve been wanting to see you all this time, but seeing them all like this makes me feel very relieved. Lastly, I’d like to thank you.”
“Hehe, what? Thank you. And I missed you too.”

Get up from your seat and say goodbye.

“Should I go to work now?”
“Because this saintess is very busy.”
“Cheer up, Cadia.”

I brushed the back of Cadia’s neck.

“Your clothes today are very nice.”
“It’s too late to praise you, Paladin.”
“Anyway, I’m going back now… It’s not too far from here. Wait a minute. I’ll see off Cadia.”
“It doesn’t have to be…”
“Because it’s right in front of you.”

They sat down again, and I went outside with Cadia. Let’s quickly see them off and go back together.

“Whoa. You’re really imagining it, Paladin. Aren’t you just living with beautiful women?”
“You heard. That’s the hero Kim Kat. Maybe it’s natural.”
“It’s very self-assertive. But thank you for coming to see me off like this.”
“I came to see you all together, but I can’t send you alone.”

How can I send you off alone?

“Anyway, it was a refreshing day. Yes. In the end, checking the face is the most important thing. But… Does Cloudy want more women?”
“It’s sharp. Did you notice it?”
“To be restrained.”
“I think so even if you don’t say anything.”

Cadia looked at my face for a moment, but she didn’t say anything.

“Ah. By the way.”
“Well?”
“I couldn’t show my divine power.”

Uh

“I’m very sorry about that. The next time we meet, tell me that you’ll definitely show it to me. Somehow, I can’t show it to you.”
“Uh… I’ll do that.”

Were you caring about that?
It was dangerous.

Not long after, we arrived at Cadia’s house. Now she will change her clothes inside her and go back to the front her instead of her. After saying goodbye to Cadia, I ran to the restaurant.

*           *

So I went outside with them.

“Haa… I was cold.”
“Me too. I almost screamed after realizing it at the moment.”

Risha and Riztina seemed very surprised.
As I said before, I was worried.

“Really, I was so anxious. I feel really careless in not thinking about this.”

Risha said while sweeping her chest.

Hehe, so did I. Wow. I really hadn’t thought of that.”
“Are you laughing? Really bastard. Of course I didn’t think of anything, but a bastard should have thought of that. Hilde almost fucked up.”
“That’s right. I’m sorry, Hilde.”

I said while touching Hilde’s head.

“I thought I was being burned by real divine power…! But I survived because of my quickness!”
“I thought I wasn’t scared either.”

She squealed as Hilde clung to my arm.

“Fufufu, but it was nice to see it. Should I be more careful next time? It’s embarrassing, but I didn’t think of it either.”

Cloudy didn’t seem to have thought of it either.

“That’s how it should be. But they felt sorry for not being able to show their true divine power.”
“Big deal!!!”

It’s rat poison for Hilde, really.

“But what. She was definitely a strong woman. Not combative, but with a different feel.”
“Yes.”

Karin and Riztina seemed to have similar sentiments.

“She’s not a strong woman.”

I like a strong woman

“Hmm…But I didn’t talk much. I wonder if he thought it was strange?”

She said so because she was talking.

“No. Well. I even thought it was strange. It could be.”
“I wish it was.”

I don’t think Ari’s sociability is very good. Actually, I don’t need it. It’s fine as long as it’s at a level where everyone but us can’t talk about it.

Anyway, we went home.

*           *

Since I was staying at home, it was winter in earnest before I knew it.

In the meantime, I spent time in personal training, stopping at the prison from time to time. Extraction of the sap was not yet complete. Likewise, figuring out how to use the crystal is also a long way off.

Anyway, I’m currently spending my time waiting for the complete extraction of the sap, but according to Lisa, it seems that it’s almost done. Then what will happen soon?

The effect of the elixir made by squeezing the heart of Koltrahen was outstanding.

I am clearly tasting the increase in power, and Winia also liked that the amount of mana increased significantly. Hilde said that now she will become the strongest succubus, but she is not yet infiltrated into my dreams.

Karin and Riztina liked it because they said it increased their output.

In this situation, if I ate even the sap of the World Tree, I thought I would be able to cut all these bastards of the Great Devil without giving up.

“Very well, Paladin.”
“Excellent. Please continue to use your strength, Director Zabong Prison.”

Looking at the ledgers, the prison operation was going well.

When I heard that the prisoners I had sent the other day had arrived safely and were doing harsh labor, a great satisfaction filled my heart, and I was very satisfied. Now I was a man full of justice and morality.

The prison warden seemed to be very satisfied with the prisoner’s supply and demand.

Whatever it is, it’s about increasing your income.

Well, I had to take care of the money that was piled up. As expected, the amount was quite good, probably because it was running a factory.

Sitting still and earning money like this is truly happiness itself.

“It’s happiness.”

Murderous robbers and bandits who committed terrible crimes become my happiness while undergoing rehabilitation work in this prison. Because it felt something so beautiful and mysterious, because it was so moving.

Just.

No wonder.

“Ah.”

The snowy winter felt warm.

“Jabong Prison Director.”

Warm winter.

It would not be desired by any wicked people.

Shall we show a little mercy today?

“How do you solve the heating of the prisoners in winter?”
“You mean heating? If you get frostbite, you can’t work, so we provide basic gloves and shoes, but we don’t do anything special about heating.”

Okay. There’s no way they’ll provide heating in the prison.

“Then I guess we’ll have to heat it up.”
“Yes? Me, heating?”
“Exactly.”

Shouldn’t the prisoners be warm in the winter too?

“Aren’t there 20 prisoners per cell right now?”
“That’s right.”
“Only in the winter, increase that number to 30.”
“You mean 30 people?”

Currently, the capacity of the prison cell is 20.

I’m going to increase it to 30 people.

“It’s a bit cramped, but if 30 people are together, we can spend the winter very warmly. But it’s winter, so shouldn’t we heat it up a little? If we improve the welfare of the prisoners like this, it will definitely inspire their motivation to work.”

The room was so damn small, I saw it with my own two eyes. Even if only 20 people enter, there is no room for footsteps, but if 30 people are driven in there, one heating will be sure.

It will be a warm winter.

It’s a bit frustrating, but it’s better than freezing.

“It’s difficult even if the prisoners freeze to death…Hehe.”

I am also a man who knows a little about welfare.
It would be okay if I showed you this level of mercy.

“Hmm… Okay. I’m not sure, but it means that you can fill the room with 30 people. But depending on the circumstances, you can’t fill all 30 people, but 28 people. It could be about 26 people… That part is at my discretion. Is it okay if I follow along?”
“Please.”

With that said, I packed up my report and money and left the prison.

Prisoners who spent the first warm winter in prison will praise my name. That was fusion Confucianism.
