## Chapter 772 – Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament

The place we arrived at was the top floor of a rather luxurious restaurant.

It wasn’t an open space but divided into separate rooms, like fancy private rooms.

The space, large enough for about ten people to drink comfortably, was entirely decorated in crimson. The luxurious sofas were crimson, and the antique table between the two wide sofas was also red.

How much does this place cost?

A self-illuminating crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, so it wasn’t particularly dark. I thought about opening the curtains, but it seemed better not to, so I left them as they were.

It was morning, but the room’s atmosphere made it feel like late at night.

Truly a room for entertaining high-ranking officials.

Was she planning to treat me to a meal like this after creating such an atmosphere for a reward? I’m glad I didn’t eat breakfast. Dining in a place like this is more than satisfactory.

If it tastes good, I should bring my girls here sometime.

“But, Saintess, how do you know about a place like this? I didn’t know such a luxurious space existed.”
“When you’re in the position of a Saintess, you can’t help but be wealthy. I hardly have time to come, but I know the locations of all the high-end restaurants in the capital.”
“Hoo.”

That’s just her personality.
She likes luxurious things.

Well, she’s capable and diligent enough. The Saintess Kadia is a woman who deserves to enjoy such extravagance. I guess she comes to places like this to indulge in luxury when she has the time.

“And I also receive invitations from nobles who want to meet the Saintess.”
“You get invited to places like this?”
“If I exchange a few words with them, I can get a lot of donations. With that, I can make equipment for the Holy Knights and train new followers. It’s a profitable business no matter how you look at it. My beauty is paying off handsomely.”

If you have a private meeting with the Saintess and hear all sorts of good things, you’ll become completely addicted and unable to escape. Is that how you become a donation slave?

“Indeed. The Saintess is always thinking about world peace! I’m always cheering you on!”
“Satisfactory.”

Anyway, I took off my cumbersome coat and sat down.

The Saintess went to the opposite side.

I guess a chef will come in and bring a course meal to this big table in the middle?

That sounds good.

“Hiss… Haa…”

The Saintess, who had gone to her seat, took a deep breath and removed her veil and coat.

“…”

What was revealed was… a rather revealing outfit that anyone would call daring.

ㅡA pure white off-shoulder dress.

It looked very expensive, made of high-quality material, but there was surprisingly little fabric compared to the price you’d imagine.

The Saintess’s ample breasts were almost entirely exposed. Because there was so little fabric, it only covered about half of her breasts, and her cleavage was heavily emphasized, making her look extremely sexy.

Besides that, the material clung to her body, revealing every curve of her figure.

Her waist was slender, and her hips and buttocks were so large that they could be described as alluring. Of course, the hem of the dress wasn’t long either.

It was short, only reaching halfway down her thighs.

…Why such a revealing outfit?

“Haa… the coat was a bit stuffy.”
“…”

She slowly arranged the coat she had taken off and placed it on the sofa, then naturally sat down and crossed her legs… The hem was so short that her panties were almost exposed, but the Saintess simply looked at my face as if nothing was wrong.

“Heh.”

The Saintess, who was looking at me, gave a provocative smile.

“I see… my cleavage is attracting a very intense gaze. Even though I came here wearing such an outfit, isn’t that too blatant a look? I could call it rude.”
“No.”

As she said that, she gently stroked her upper chest with her finger. This woman is deliberately showing off her figure.

She really likes teasing people.

“It would be stranger if I didn’t look with you wearing such an outfit. And rude? That hurts my feelings. I’ll just lower my eyes.”

As I was about to lower my eyes, she shook her head.

“I was joking about being rude. I wore this on purpose, deliberately. Wearing it on purpose means that if you want to look, you’re welcome to admire it as much as you want. I have to let you enjoy this much eye candy to give a reward to a paladin who works so hard, don’t I?”

That’s an absurd reward.

“Try to relax and heal your mind and body.”
“…”

Still, I took a moment to look at the Saintess’s figure.

Her breasts are… smaller than Winia’s or Risha’s, but still quite large. But with such a revealing chest, what kind of bra is she wearing?

Is it a band… or nipple patches?

Nice.

Personally, I think a white heart-shaped nipple patch would suit the Saintess very well.

“What do you think? Isn’t it alluring enough? I’m very confident in my figure, not just my face. In fact, it would be hard to find a beauty like me anywhere in the world. Even the elves can’t compare.”

And the princess-disease Saintess took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and said those words while crossing her legs the other way.

Elves.

The Saintess is beautiful, but not more beautiful than the half-elf Claudia. But that’s because Claudia is exceptionally pretty.

“Elves. Is that true?”
“Of course.”
“It certainly seems that way, but…”
“So, what do you think of my figure?”
“To be honest, I think it’s very violent. There’s nothing lacking. You are indeed an absolute beauty.”

Of course, she has to be one of the three great beauties.

“Heh, yes… I am an absolute beauty. But it would be even better if you could tell me in detail which parts are good and how.”

The Saintess continued, staring into my eyes without erasing her provocative smile.

It’s rare to find someone who likes such blatant compliments about their appearance.

“Then I might have to say it too bluntly?”
“It doesn’t matter. First of all, I have very proud breasts. Do you agree?”
“I agree to the point of… um… yes. They’re big and very nice.”
“Hoo, I’m very happy that you like them. Where else? Is there anything else you can say to make me happier?”

ㅡHoo.

The Saintess smoked her cigarette and urged me to answer.
She seems to be in a very good mood right now.

Does she like being praised that much?
This woman should be a queen rather than a Saintess.

“Your waist is also very slender… I guess you take good care of your figure even on a regular basis? It’s a very rare waist.”
“I’m busy with work, but I still exercise every day. I always have to be thorough in maintaining my figure.”
“You were born with great hips too. Your buttocks and thighs are so attractive.”
“It seems like the Paladin knows every nook and cranny of my body?”
“I just saw it now, just now. Anyway, well. My evaluation hasn’t changed. You’re a truly beautiful Saintess.”

I’ve become a master of flattery now.

“Ah… I can’t be any happier than this. Yes, I have a very good figure in addition to my face. I would be happy if you could clearly recognize that. Just like you were looking just now.”
“I understand.”

I can’t help but recognize it when it’s so openly displayed.

“Then I can’t leave out the evaluation of the outfit.”
“Please stop. I’m so embarrassed I feel like my face is going to explode.”
“Well, shall we stop here then?”

I have a low resistance to revealing outfits.

“But wait. Didn’t you tell me you lived in a convent last time? Where did you get such an outfit?”
“Hoo? Were you memorizing my residence?”

The Saintess’s eyes curved again.
A bad smile.

“Why are you twisting my words?”
“Well, it’s just a regular outfit I bought. It’s not like there are any restrictions in the convent. More than anything, do you think nuns aren’t interested in grooming themselves?”
“I’m sure they are, but I think there are a lot of things they can’t do according to the rules.”
“The rules aren’t that strict. Even though they’re religious people who worship God, they’re still human. They have things they want to do and things they don’t want to do. Active nuns all have boyfriends.”

That’s surprising.

It seems that the Bronze Sky Knights are free to date on their days off. After all, religious people need to have children to strengthen their forces. Faith from birth is the shortcut to producing fanatics.

Anyway, just thinking about being alone with the Saintess wearing such an outfit in this closed space is making my heart flutter.

ㅡKnock. Knock. Knock.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

“They’re here.”

ㅡCreak.

The door opened naturally, and a man wearing a chef’s inhuman hat came in, pulling a large cart.

On top of the cart were dishes covered with silver circular lids.

The chef, pulling the cart, placed all the silver trays on the table and personally opened the circular lids.

“Oh my god…!”

ㅡDamn delicious food.

It was a feast of food that looked extremely luxurious at first glance. The cart was even a three-tiered structure, so the chef moved his hands in the order of the first, second, and third floors, constantly placing food on the table.

All sorts of delicacies were placed on the table, and the chef, having finished his work, bowed politely and pulled the cart out.

“Damn it. What is all this?”

After exclaiming in admiration, the Saintess said.

“You can eat as much as you want.”
“You mean I can eat all this expensive stuff as much as I want?”
“As a superior, I can certainly give this kind of treatment to a paladin who works too hard. Well, you could say this is the reward I mentioned. Don’t hesitate.”
“Oh!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!”

I can eat all of this!!!!

There’s everything from cheese-topped meat to potato salad to fish appetizers!! A feast of damn greasy meat dishes!!! An inhuman restaurant!

“I can say that I’ve made an effort to enjoy myself since I’ve taken the time like this. It’s a natural desire for a woman to want to please a decent man.”

She wore such an outfit to enjoy herself.

“That’s true for men too. No, it’s the same. Humans, whether men or women, want to look good to the opposite sex.”
“You know it well.”

Anyway, I started eating with the Saintess.

“It’s such an inhuman taste!!!”

Unlike me, who was exclaiming boisterously and eating voraciously, she was eating very delicately, as if observing etiquette, and constantly watching me.

Is she doing that because of my manners?

“Saintess? Is there something wrong with the way I’m eating?”
“No, it’s nothing like that. I was just watching, so don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, well, if that’s the case. But Saintess, what happened to the demon I investigated this time?”

According to Gogniza, the Great Demons were plotting something. I’m worried about that too.

“Ah, that. I can only say that it’s currently under investigation. It’s a very tricky and important matter. I’ve already informed the Pope… To be honest, I don’t know how to deal with it either.”
“Such a big deal…! But if it’s the Saintess, you’ll always find the right answer as always.”
“Heh, you’re stating the obvious. There’s nothing I can’t do. Don’t worry.”

So I continued eating and talked a little about work with the Saintess. Since it was a story about demons in the first place, it didn’t really spoil my appetite.

It’s something I have to do no matter what.

More than anything, the food is so good that nothing is a problem.

Then shall I bring up the story now?

“Ah, and Saintess. There’s something I wanted to ask you today. How about it. I want to hear the answer right away, would that be okay?”
“What is it?”
“It’s very important. It’s so hard to say it unless it’s now.”
“Wait a moment…”

Perhaps she was trying to prepare herself for the important words, the Saintess hesitated for a moment and averted her gaze.

“…Try to say it.”

Finally, permission was granted.

Good.

“I want to participate in that Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament.”
“What?”

The Saintess looked puzzled.

“The Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament. I saw the flyer last time, and as a warrior, my competitive spirit is boiling. So I’m asking for your permission.”
“…”
“If I participate, I won’t be able to work until the tournament is over… But I’ve done a lot so far, haven’t I?”

I have to go no matter what.

“I will definitely win and raise the honor of the Order, so please allow me to participate.”
“…”
“Saintess?”

I was waiting for her to give permission, but the Saintess Kadia was just looking at me with her eyes narrowed, not giving any particular answer.

ㅡCreak.

Then, the door opened again.

As expected, a man wearing a chef’s inhuman hat came in, pulling a cart. But this time it wasn’t food. What was on the cart was a luxurious-looking liquor.

And it’s over ten bottles.
