## Chapter 659 – Promotion

Anyway, there was one more thing to do.

After resting at home for about a day, I came to see Liztina early in the morning. She greeted me with a smile as usual, and we started talking over tea.

About Arie.

“What…? You have another woman?”

Liztina put down her teacup and looked at me after hearing my words.

“Remember the red-haired girl who came to see the duel last time?”
“Are you talking about Arie? I heard she was a maid, but she was quite beautiful.”
“That’s her.”
“…”
“Liz, sis?”

Liztina touched her lips and stared at me intently. She probably wouldn’t take it well. Claudi and Risha were the exceptions; most people would be repulsed.

“Hmm… Katt, you. Aren’t you a bit too fond of women?”

She rested her chin on her hand and tapped the table with her finger.

“Because I’m fond of women, I made you mine, too.”
“Well, yes, but… well, it might be natural, but usually only great nobles have six wives, don’t you think?”

Whether it was polygyny or polyandry, both were relatively common in this world, but having many wives meant you had the ability and power to support them.

But I have outstanding abilities.
That’s a fact.

“That’s true. But Paladin is a pretty good position, too.”
“It is a good position.”
“As for power, I can build it up. My personal skills are fine, too. And you’re my fifth woman anyway, sis.”
“About that… well, I knew it all and decided, so it doesn’t matter. It’s natural for a good man to have many women. But six… I’m actually worried about you. Are you really okay?”

Liztina looked at me with a worried expression for a moment.

“Hehehe, what part are you worried about?”

She blushed at my words.

“Well, anything. I was just worried that you might be having a hard time with, you know, conflicts… I’m always thinking about you, Katt. And don’t think I’m worried about your stamina or anything!”

This sister has a kind heart.

“Why are you blushing when you’re not?”
“I don’t know!”

She shouted and drank her tea. Seeing her exposed neckline for a moment made me feel lustful. After finishing her tea, Liztina glared at me.

“Anyway, a sixth wife… I don’t mind, but if you become negligent towards me because you have one more, I might want to kill you, Katt.”
“Hey, don’t say such scary things all of a sudden.”
“Be careful not to let it become a scary reality, really.”

I immediately got up from my seat and sat next to Liz.

“W-What is it? Ah, ugh, suddenly…!”

And I naturally reached out and stroked the inside of her thigh, saying,

“Liz, sis. That’s why I’m saying this.”
“…”
“When are you coming to my house? Huh? I think I’ll be going to the capital soon.”
“W-Well, I still need some time to sort things out… I have a lot to hand over to Lisette… and there are tax issues…”

Liz, sis, tried to push me away while avoiding my gaze, as if trying to make excuses to me. Ignoring her resistance, I licked her neck.

“You have to live together if you don’t want me to neglect you. If we live apart, you can’t come if you don’t have time.”
“T-That’s true… I’m sorry, that’s… I want to do that soon, but I can’t do it right away… I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

Liz, sis, apologized to me as if she was really sorry and didn’t know what to do.

“Hehehe, are you apologizing to me?”
“W-Well, it’s true that I’m sorry…”
“So, when will it be possible?”
“I can’t specify exactly, but… if I can say one thing for sure, I’ll follow you if you go to the capital, Katt. So please don’t be too impatient.”

Liz, sis, stroked my crotch while speaking calmly, as if trying to calm me down. This sister knows how to calm me down too well.

“That’s a given. If you said you couldn’t follow me in the first place, I was going to cause a ruckus at the Martial Arts Guild.”
“Ah, no, if you do such violent things…”
“What’s wrong with me taking my woman? You just have to do as I say, sis.”
“Ugh, ugh… what, am I your property or something?”
“I’m getting angry?”
“No! S-Sorry! Y-You’re right, I’m your property…”

Why is she so cute?

“Hehehe, ah. I think it’s so cute when you’re this obedient, sis.”
“W-Who’s being obedient…”
“You’re trying to do everything I say, right?”
“That’s…”
“Well, just know that it’s a good thing.”

Anyway, if I came to see this sister, I have to have sex.

“Then, sis. Shall we go to the bedroom?”
“…Yes.”

Liz, sis, nodded obediently and naturally took off her clothes. I picked her up and laid her on the bed. I didn’t touch Arie this morning, so I should push her a little harder.

* * *

After finishing my physical conversation with Liz, sis, I went outside. Every time I come, I get a meal and get my rocks off, so I feel like I’ve become a complete gigolo.

Then let’s go to the church now.

When I go out alone, I have nothing else to do but go to the church or the Adventurer’s Guild. It would be nice if there was work, but even if there isn’t, I’m going to say hello.

“You came at a good time, Paladin.”
“Saintess? Is something the matter?”

As soon as I entered, Saintess Kadia welcomed me. Has something finally happened? I hope it’s something related to demons if possible.

Because I have to strengthen that bastard, Vugal.

“I read the report sent by the Holy Knight who was dispatched, and he said he felt a rather suspicious atmosphere. Take a look.”
“Yes.”

I immediately received the report.

After reading it, it wasn’t clearly organized, but I could tell that he had sensed something suspicious. This Holy Knight uncle seems to be a terrible writer.

“It’s currently under investigation, but if it’s confirmed and deemed serious, I think the Paladin will have to go.”
“Hmm… yes. Then please tell me again at that time. I’m always ready.”
“You’re really reliable. As expected of this Saintess’s Paladin.”
“Hehehe, it’s only natural.”

I had a brief conversation with Saintess Kadia.

She said that she had almost finished processing the backlog of work. She was about to send a letter to the Pope asking if she could return to the capital when she received a report from the dispatched Holy Knight. If this isn’t a big problem, she’ll be able to go up soon.

But I haven’t received the Deathworm sales cost yet.
I’m sure she can handle that well.

“By the way. Hasn’t it gotten a little hotter these days? Paladin.”
“It’s definitely gotten warmer, to the point where it’s hot. Is that why you changed your clothes too?”
“You’re only noticing now.”
“I’ve known since the beginning.”

Saintess Kadia’s outfit was a little lighter today.

The pure white Saintess uniform with bronze accents that she usually wears almost covers her entire body, but it’s an outfit that reveals all the lines of her body.

The chest area can also be opened.

But the nun-like outfit she’s wearing today… well, the skirt is quite short. The side slit is basic, and about half of her thigh is exposed. Even the garter belt connected to the pure white stockings, which have a slightly wedding-like feel, is exposed.

Even the top is a bold design without sleeves, so her armpits are all exposed.

Above all, the fact that she’s wearing pure white long gloves that come up to her elbows instead of sleeves is quite strange. The fact that a beautiful, glamorous blonde Saintess is wearing such sexy clothes is beyond my common sense.

“Hehe, can’t take your eyes off me? Every summer, when I take out this outfit, I get all kinds of attention. I guess the Paladin is the same.”
“How many men can ignore this? But isn’t that outfit a bit much?”

Her entire body is revealed, and there’s a lot of exposure, so her unique beauty is properly conveyed. Above all, she’s overflowing with sex appeal.

“What’s so much about it? When this Saintess wears this outfit, the amount of donations that come in changes. If the amount of donations and offerings increases, we can destroy more evil beings. Expanding the church’s influence is a bonus.”
“That’s possible.”

An unbelievable, crazy world.

“Humans are a very weak race when it comes to appearance. You have to know how to use that to stand above others. I hope the Paladin doesn’t fall for this kind of temptation.”

That’s right.

If you use a beautiful Saintess as an idol, it would be great for improving the external image. Anyone would bring a lot of offerings to say a word to such a Saintess.

If you use that to train Holy Knights, you’ll be able to kill demons even better.

“Hehehe, who do you think I am? I’m a Demon Slayer Paladin with steel-like faith and a strong spirit. I can never be seduced by lust.”
“Oh?”

When I said confidently, Saintess Kadia narrowed her eyes and stared at me, then suddenly started stretching.

“Augh… my shoulders are a little stiff.”
“No, Saintess?”

Because it was a sleeveless outfit, her pure white and clean armpits were exposed in an instant. Saintess Kadia wrapped her hands around the back of her head in that position, then leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs. The inside of her thigh is subtly visible.

This is crazy…!

“If the Paladin of this church doesn’t indulge in lust, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Please. I understand, so please cover up your armpits.”
“Are you worried about this Saintess’s armpits? You should consider it a stroke of luck. There hasn’t been a single man who has been able to openly see this Saintess’s armpits until now.”
“I’ll gladly throw myself into the church, so please stop.”
“Hehe, that’s the answer I wanted to hear.”

Saintess Kadia finally relaxed her posture.
Ah, damn it.

I almost got an erection.

“Anyway. Then I’ll come again next time. Let me know if there’s anything.”
“Come back anytime you miss this Saintess.”
“Oh my.”

This sexually frustrated Saintess was full of thoughts of teasing me completely today. Maybe the reason she said I came at a good time at first was to show me her new outfit.

As I left the church, the lust that I had been holding back for a while came up and I got an erection. Ah, damn it. Should I go home today and ask her to do it with her armpits?

Anyway, I went to the Adventurer’s Guild while walking awkwardly.

I have to check if there’s anything going on since I’m out.

I went straight to the counter and revealed my name, and the employee who recognized me said,

“Ah, Katt-nim. Please go up to the second floor.”
“The second floor? Is something the matter?”
“You’ll be guided when you go up.”
“Well… yes. I will.”

What’s going on?

I went straight up to the second floor and knocked on the office door. Soon I heard a voice telling me to come in, and I went inside while revealing my name.

“Oh, Katt-ssi. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Yes. Hello.”

A middle-aged guild executive whom I had seen a few times welcomed me. I greeted him with a nod and asked what was going on, and he told me to go to the Adventurer’s Guild Vice-Master on the third floor this time.

“The Vice-Master-nim? What’s going on?”
“Don’t you have any idea?”
“Um.”

Ah.

“Well, you said you were going to do the C-rank test, is that it?”
“That’s it.”
“Oh, shit.”

I went straight up the stairs to the third floor. I had never been up to the third floor even once. They say that the Vice-Master, who is nominally called a B-rank adventurer, is here.

But C-rank.

Certainly, after receiving the title of Quasi-Priest, I had done this and that, and recently I had killed a Basilisk, slaughtered a Lizardman horde, and brought the Shaman’s head. It’s an unusually fast promotion, but I’m a Quasi-Priest in the first place. If my skills have been verified and my status and trust are certain, there’s no problem with becoming a C-rank.

I stood in front of the Vice-Master’s office and knocked on the door.

ㅡKnock, knock. Knock.

“My name is Kim Katt. May I come in?”

When I knocked on the door and said that, he told me to come in.
I opened the door right away.

ㅡSqueak.

“Hello, Vice-Master-nim.”

When I went in, a middle-aged obese man with white hair was sitting in front of a desk that looked good at a glance and scribbling something. Soon he put down his pen and looked at me, saying.

“Are you Quasi-Priest Katt?”
“Yes. I’m also a D-rank adventurer.”

Is this person the Adventurer’s Guild Vice-Master?

My first impression was that he had no combat power at all. In fact, A and B-rank adventurers only existed nominally, and were titles given to the Guild Master and Vice-Guild Master. Combat power doesn’t matter.

The people who ultimately control the blue-collar factory workers are the white-collar managers.

The Adventurer’s Guild is the same.

The on-site workers, who are half freelancers, and the regular internal workers are separated.

Would a businessman go out and fight? He makes the people under him fight. The Adventurer’s Guild is a business that receives support from the lord and solves the trivial things that happen throughout the territory by giving work to the adventurers, who are an overflowing workforce, at a low price.

The managers are the Master and Vice-Master.
