## Chapter 521 – A Useful Bastard

“Lady Saint! Where have you been all this time…!”
“I asked a junior priest to show me around the city. I’ll be starting my duties now, so don’t nag me too much.”
“Ah, understood!”

As I re-entered the church, all eyes were on me. Lady Saint Kadia silenced the fussing parishioners with a single word, then grabbed my hand and pulled me into her room.

Her room on the fourth floor was quite spacious.

Amidst the various religious decorations and furniture, the Lady Saint, immediately after entering the room, threw off her pure white veil, opened a drawer in her vanity, took out a stack of papers, and handed it to me.

“Orders.”
“Yes.”

I immediately accepted the papers and slowly read through them.

The orders contained several reported issues, along with the Lady Saint’s thoughts on them.

As I read on, it seemed that her judgment was that heretics had infiltrated a city called Audeville, located a short distance away. It was a relatively large place that made its living from logistics and distribution, about two or three days away.

“I don’t think I’ll have much time in the future, so if you have any questions, ask them now.”

The Lady Saint, sitting on the bed, lay her upper body down. In that state, she smoked a cigarette. Since it was a high-quality product that didn’t even smell, there was nothing to worry about.

It didn’t harm her health, and since the Lady Saint, overflowing with divine power, was essentially a super-healthy woman, she could chain-smoke indefinitely without any problems.

“Please wait a moment.”

The orders themselves were written very neatly, so there was no difficulty in understanding the mission. Apparently, she had already sent an official letter to the city, requesting cooperation. This city… was it a form of government where the mayor ruled according to the law?

I didn’t know the power structure of this area very well.

Anyway, from the city’s point of view, there was no reason to stop someone from coming to catch heretics, so they welcomed it. Apparently, if I made arrests there, I could cooperate with the city guards. They wouldn’t help with the investigation, though.

Hmm… but tracking down heretics in a completely unknown city that I wasn’t familiar with…

It seemed like it would be a bit difficult, but I would manage somehow. From what I could see, there was a map and the basis for her judgment written down, so it wasn’t like I was just banging my head against a wall. With this much information, I could somehow make it work.

I understood all the contents.

“I don’t seem to have any particular questions. May I take the orders with me?”
“If you don’t take them, there’s no proof that this Lady Saint issued the mission, is there? Hand it over here, I’ll write down the junior priest’s name myself.”

I handed over the orders along with the pen that was on the vanity.

“You have a good sense.”
“Hehehe. It’s basic.”

She immediately took the pen and, while lying down, wrote down my title and name on the orders.

“I’ll be staying here for a while, so it seems like the deadline should be limited to when this Lady Saint leaves. Then I’ll look forward to good news, junior priest.”
“But is this mission funded?”

It seemed like it would cost some money to travel back and forth, eat, and rent a place to stay, and if that much wasn’t supported when it was a Lady Saint’s order, I would cry.

“If you succeed in the mission, I’ll accept the bill.”
“Oh my, so it’s a quest where if I succeed, I get a big reward, and if I fail, I only waste my money and time and get a bad evaluation.”
“That’s about right. Well, I believe the junior priest will do well. After talking for a day, I think the junior priest is a really good person. A rare talent.”

As expected, she was someone who sat in a high position and gave orders, so she knew how to use people. She was truly a skillful Lady Saint.

With a leader like this at the top, the organization ran properly.

Her attitude and the way she spoke made her seem more like a mafia boss than a Lady Saint, but this woman had also dedicated herself to her faith.

In other words, she was someone to be trusted.

“Then go ahead and leave. How long are you going to stay in this Lady Saint’s room? You’re entering a woman’s room too casually.”
“Hehehe, didn’t the Lady Saint drag me in? Please come out with me. It’ll be troublesome if I go out alone and people start sticking to me.”

I had attracted some attention while coming in, so it was better to leave the explanation to the Lady Saint.

“To ask this Lady Saint to escort you out, you have a lot of nerve.”
“Hehehe, a junior priest’s job requires a lot of nerve.”
“That’s true. Let’s go.”

Anyway, I was safely escorted out of the church by Lady Saint Kadia. After crossing the gate and turning around, I saw her, looking somewhat tired, waving goodbye.

After returning the greeting, I headed home.

A Lady Saint’s quest.

She was the one who gave me the highest-grade holy water she had made herself.

If I succeeded, she would even pay for the expenses, so it seemed like a decent request. Above all, I was greedy for the reward. Nothing was specifically set, but in the first place, religious people were icons of trust. Even when they tried to brush things off with a date or something, they still gave the rewards properly.

With all the chaos caused by the Demon Gate, people like me were just seizing opportunities and moving. Wasn’t all of this an opportunity for me, the adventurer Kim Katt?

Thinking that, I returned home.

* * *

“So, our husband is going on another business trip? Hmm… Your sister is quite dissatisfied.”
“Oh, come on, Karin.”

Karin, who was on top of me, said as she slowly rotated her hips.

Her face, full of dissatisfaction, was flushed red as she forcibly suppressed the moans that were bursting out. I reached out and grabbed her soft breasts, trying to pinch her nipples.

There was nothing better than this to cheer Karin up.

“Stop it, you little shit. I’m talking. You’ve been acting up lately.”

ㅡSlap.

Karin hit the back of my hand that was trying to pinch her nipples.

When I protested that it hurt, she felt slightly sorry, closed her eyes, and rotated her hips again. Her hot insides tightly gripped mine and rubbed against it, so nothing else mattered.

“I’m sorry, Karin. It’s a mission ordered by the Lady Saint, and I have to seize the opportunity. It’s a chance to get ahead.”
“No, getting ahead is good, but… haa, really.”

Karin sighed, scratched the back of her head, and said.

“Husband… Your sister gets a lot of stress when she’s away from her husband? Your sister is a bit obsessive like that. Improving your skills and getting ahead are all good. I know it’s good in my head, but, huh?”
“Of course I know how Karin feels. Come here.”
“…”

Karin, who had been rotating her hips, looked around and then leaned her upper body forward and hugged me.

I hugged her back and cheered her up.

“Come back a little faster, okay?”
“Hehehe, of course I have to come back quickly, since Karin is waiting. I’ll be back soon. It’s not like I’m going somewhere and not coming back.”
“That’s true… Aish, damn it. I’m even thinking of just selling the guild. I’m so annoyed because I don’t have time.”

Karin had been saying since the last time that she wanted to sell the guild and use the money to travel around and act like a gangster. I felt sorry that I had made her feel that way.

“Hehehe, if you sell the guild, are you just Karin and not the 검사 (Swordmaster) Guild Leader Karin?”
“What are you talking about? More than that, my back feels like it’s going to break, so I can’t move anymore. Thrust from above.”
“Yes, yes.”

Anyway, I told my wives that I had received a mission from the Lady Saint.

Cloudy just seemed happy, and Winia scolded me for taking a mission from the Lady Saint, but in the end, she was interested and gave me a kind 파이팅 (fighting/encouragement).

I also showed the received holy water to Risha, who left an evaluation that it contained tremendous divine power and wanted to try researching it, so I handed it over.

And Karin felt like this.
It’s hard to go on this business trip because I feel bad.

It seemed like it would be better to finish it quickly if possible.
Let’s try to solve it with all our might.

* * *

Since it wasn’t like I was working for a day or two, I quickly finished preparing for the expedition, woke up, and left early in the morning. Karin and Risha saw us off.

I had packed all my luggage, and I just needed to buy the essential items from the general store and move.

I didn’t know what the prices would be like there, so it was better to buy the items here. It would be a shame if they were cheaper there, but I would cry if they were more expensive. I didn’t care about that, I just wanted to make the heretics shed tears of blood as soon as possible.

“Blackie, you’ve done something similar to what that nun did in the past, right?”
“Yeah. That’s why I said I’d do it. Trust me.”
“Kukukuk. Yeah, I trust Blackie. Still, the Lady Saint gave you the mission directly, so Blackie has made a name for himself.”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”

Anyway, I immediately moved towards the gate. It was early in the morning, so the carriages were lined up. Various people were bargaining with the coachmen.

“Cloudy, Winia. I’ll hold a carriage, so please stop by the general store.”
“Okay. We will.”

I immediately sent them off and grabbed a coachman.

“Welcome, sir!”
“Greetings, you’re working hard from the morning. I’m trying to go to a village called Audeville, do you have any seats?”
“Audeville, you say? Ah, I’m planning to take a detour today. There’s a carriage five spaces away, right? That person is going in the direction of Audeville.”
“Thank you.”

I immediately went to the place he told me and bargained with the coachman. It would take about two or three days just to get there. I bargained appropriately and paid the price. In the first place, the carriage price was nothing to my income now.

“Are you leaving right away?”
“No, I’m planning to go in a little while.”
“Hmm… Then I’ll go to that bakery over there and get something to eat. I’ll be back soon, so come find me if you’re in a hurry.”
“Well, okay.”

After the coachman left to eat, I got on the carriage. I just sat on the seat in a daze, waiting for Cloudy and Winia.

ㅡAt that moment, a hot voice was heard in my ear.

“Katt, Katt. Where are you going today?”
“Huh!”

Startled, I immediately turned around.
The back was inside the carriageㅡ

“ㅡHildegard!”

Behind me was Hildegard, transformed into a human woman. She, who had somehow entered the inside of the carriage, greeted me with a bright smile.

“Yes, yes. It’s Katt’s Hildegard.”
“You bastard! You dare show your face after all that shit you pulled!”

Massive wet dream!

Not only that, but you infiltrated my dream, restrained me, took off my pants, and sucked my dick! I let it go at the time, but thinking about it again, there was nothing more infuriating than this.

Dream rape was a story that couldn’t even be joked about.

“Hehehe, I love seeing you get angry.”
“Asura Blood Destruction Fist.”

As I immediately tried to throw a punch, Hildegard, as if she had expected it, lightly dodged it and said with an exaggerated gesture.

“Surprise information here!”
“What?”

Information?

Come to think of it, I had mentioned bringing information when we parted ways.

Was she showing her face now because she had brought it?

“The fact that suspicious humans have infiltrated a nearby city! Did you know? Hehehe! Katt told me to bring information, so I worked hard to go around the area. I’m sure you’ll like it!”

What?

For a moment, it felt like my head had stopped.

Hildegard, not caring about that, was completely excited and started rambling.

“Oh my, I can’t believe a Lady Saint appeared in a place like this. I was really troubled because I couldn’t stay on this side all this time. But it was an opportunity in its own way. I found some useful information. Katt, you’ll listen, right? I’m sure it’ll be useful! Information about suspicious humans! Humans call them heretics, right?”
“…Heretics?”
“Yes! Heretics! They seem to have infiltrated a nearby city! This Hildegard was thinking only of Katt and worked hard to find out!”
“…”

Could this be the one the Lady Saint ordered…?

“…You’re lucky.”

Sometimes even the devil’s connections can be helpful.

“I’m glad I found you.”

This bastard is useful.

As soon as I said that, Hildegard, who had been shining her eyes, put her hands together.

“So you needed information after all! Hehehe! I’m really, really sorry about what happened last time. I shouldn’t have entered your dream without permission, but Hildegard was touched that you forgave me!”
“Who forgave you, you bitch.”
“Haven’t you forgiven me yet? Hmm… That’s okay, so let’s talk about the two of us now. Did you feel good about my fellatio back then? I’m sorry. I wanted to do better, but it was too big and felt so good to Katt that I…”

What the hell is this bastard saying!

“Shut up, you bastard!”
“Kyaa, you look so cool when you shout. But… Ah, it looks like someone’s coming. Then I’ll see you later.”

ㅡPoof!

Immediately, Hildegard’s figure turned into smoke and disappeared.

“Ah, no, damn it…”

What was this all of a sudden, it wasn’t even a whirlwind.

I looked around the inside of the carriage with a bewildered feeling and sat down again, thinking about what Hildegard had said.

Information that heretics had infiltrated the city.

Maybe I could solve this case easily.

After waiting for about five minutes, Cloudy and Winia appeared from over there.

“Katt, shall we leave now? You didn’t leave anything behind, did you?”
“Let’s go quickly, Blackie. We have to solve the mission the Lady Saint gave us quickly.”
“Oh… yeah. Let’s go. Ah, just a moment.”

I grabbed their hands as they were about to get on the carriage.

“The coachman is eating nearby. I’ll go call him.”

I went to find the coachman who said he was going to eat.
