Chapter 350 – The Clergy’s Circumstances

Chapter 350: Priests’ Circumstances

I quickly drop by my room, change my clothes, and follow Marie to the priests’ beer party.
Marie stopped by her room, and after a while, changed her clothes and came out.
It’s afternoon, but the sky is dark with clouds.

“Hmm~ Heh-hmm~”

Marianne, with her hands behind her back, hops and hops while humming her song.
Brisk steps.
The steps I saw on the way out after the herbal supply bidding, which was our first meeting.
Oh, did you feel really good back then?
Meet me

“You like that~?”

“Yes!”

She glances back at her, waving her hair in her big curls.
Hair pinned with a white hair band.
The thick curls on her voluminous hair look very soft.

“You really like to drink, don’t you?”

“!!!
Oh, not that!”

“Marie is a drunkard saintess~”

“Oh my!
Don’t make fun of me!
It’s not about drinking, it’s because I’m going with Kamyu-nim after a long time… Heeing.”

Since it is summer, she is wearing a light sleeveless long dress.
It is a cool outfit with large white flower patterns on a navy blue background.
Her waist is tied tightly with a white string, so her clothes don’t float and look neat.

… When the wind blows, it clings to her body and I don’t know where to put my eyes.
You have to see her tits, you have to see her Y-zone, you have to see her ass… Busy busy
Although the term autumn lady suits Mari better than summer.

“Private clothes are pretty.”

“Really?!
Hehe, it’s nice to feel like this for the first time in a while…”

She came to her side and gently crossed her arms.

Mungle.

Focus all your attention on her arms!
She casually pressed her melon breasts with her elbow.
Ha, this cotton candy-like texture… So good…
I just want to touch it with my hands, but it’s a public place, so I’m holding back.

“I like it too…
Is that the place you’re supposed to meet up over there?”

“Yes.
Looking at the market, it might rain, so we decided to empty her large wooden shed and gather.
It’s overcast, so it might rain.
Ah, Jesse!”

“Marie~~!!
Here it is, here it is!
What?!
Is the deputy commander here too?!”

Haha, nice to meet you.”

Well, Jessie, the desired nun who showed off a hot night with Priest Bill at the Light Blinger Garrison.
It’s a chubby character.

“Yo yo yo yo yo!
You don’t even wear a nun’s outfit for some reason~!
Hehe, did you make up your mind to come here?”

He was also wearing a navy blue two-piece.

“Ah, what!
Look at him!
Hurry in, hurry up!”

Marie pushes Jesse’s back as her face turns red.

Kiki-.

As soon as you open the door, a loud noise hits your ears.
Inside a large warehouse.
In a large space built with a simple structure without walls, there are many long tables, and each one sits and chats.

Wow Jangchang! Visor! Catch up!

“Poke, stab!”

“Show me when you saw it!”

At a certain table, two priests went up after clearing away furniture and were engaged in a fencing showdown with forks.

“Run, run!”

“One time, three times!
Five times out of three!”

… Is that a snail race?
There are those who knock on the table and urge the snail they cheer for to go faster,

“So, I’m Tak! I put the knife away and just glared at it… !”

“Do not lie.
If you, priest, open your mouth, you commit a crime.”

“Woo, it’s real!”

There was also a table where nuns chatted while beer was poured in one gulp.

“I thought it would be wholesome since I heard it was a dinner party for the clergy, but isn’t this no different from what our soldiers play?”

“Ah, but there’s no knife fighting here, no boxing or wrestling, right?
This is enough to enjoy safely and soundly.
Hey, there are some friends who calmly drink juice and hang out from there, right?”

“Anyway, those who served in the war play much more freely.”

“Oh, are you observant?”

Jesse cheerfully led us to his table.

“I’m not a demon… ?”

“Come with Marie.
Then that… ?”

The sound of whispering at the horns on my head.
There are people who hurriedly avert their eyes when they slightly avert their eyes.
So we arrived at the table Jesse guided us to.

“Long time no see, Bill.”

“Nice to meet you.”

This is Bill, the priest who spent a hot night with Jesse.
Next to her, who welcomed her with a friendly smile, were nuns around Marie’s age.
There is a mix of nuns in plain clothes and nuns in nun clothes.

“Greetings everyone, this is Kamyu-nim, the deputy commander of the Demon King’s 1st Field Warrior.
Camus, these are my convent classmates.
Bill and Jessie will know, and from here on out… It is.”

“Hello~!
The person that this person had only heard about from Marie… !”

“Wow, finally seeing the real thing!
I heard a lot from Marie~!”

“You look exactly like the one pictured in the portrait.
Did you really draw that yourself?”

Everyone’s eyes are shining brightly and they’re talking without saying who’s first, so I can’t come to my senses.

“Hello, this is Kamu Franz.
Haha, I wonder what you usually say about me.
Can I sit here?
Ah, thank you!
The portrait was drawn in a hurry, so I’m not confident… Thank you for the compliment.”

“You, you guys!
Don’t talk strangely to Kamyu-nim!”

“Oh my, boy.
Don’t take this away
The person you talk to every night came in person after a long time, wouldn’t you be curious?
Can I ask you something
Right~?”

“Sure, haha!
I will also ask a lot about our Marie.”

“Oh my gosh, did you hear?!”

“Oh my God, it says ‘our Marie’~!!!!”

“Marie, these snacks are delicious.
Would you like to try it? Ruler.”

“Heeep?!
Yes… Nyaam, muck and muck.
It’s delicious…”

The nuns’ squeaking is cute and funny, so she sneaks her hand on her shoulder and pulls it closer to her, handing her the food.
Then Marie was very shy, but was good at eating the lesser food.

“Wow~
Marie, it seems like yesterday when you get angry at me for hypnotizing me or for calling me a very mean demon…”

“Leonie, it’s you~!!
I-I told you not to talk about it then?!?!”

“Oops, I wonder how you cursed at that time.”

“It’s Camuni!”

“Tell me a little bit later, haha.
Ah! Don’t hit me, it hurts!”

“Don’t really wonder about that!
What you don’t know is medicine!”

“You have to know to play with me for the rest of my life.
My Mari classmates, tell me a lot about Mari that I don’t know.
I am very looking forward to it.”

“Ay~
You seem to know Marie much better than we do…
Very deep. Don’t you know?”

“Mia, you… !
Uhh~~~”

At the meaningful words of a nun, her mother hurriedly jumps at her, her face blushing.

“He is really.
A calm cat, I heard he went up to the stove first… !
When she heard that Bill and she were dating Jesse, she was really surprised…
To think that the saintess of the sun suddenly asked for a demon man… !”

“What, what… What… What’s going up…
Chi, what to do with good things…”

“Kyaaak!
Did you hear?!”

“Aww!
What a good thing!
OMG OMG!!!
I have to spread the word about this~”

“Kyaaaaa!!!
Number of animals! So cute!!”

“Yo, Yohana!
I’m out of breath…
Don’t hug too much.”

Marie sits next to me, bowing her head and humming.
The other nuns are making fun of her, so she is about to die for fun.

“It’s nice to see you like this.
I’m happy, so let’s have a drink.
Cheers!”

“””Cheers~!”””

Beer, juice, or whatever you like, pour it into a glass and drink it.
I’m drinking beer, and Marie is drinking apple juice.

“Hey, Deputy Commander.”

“Yes.”

You don’t have to make it comfortable by calling me Camu.
I’m a demon, and I’m the deputy commander of the field army.
At first glance, it seems like it would be nice to get along with Mari’s classmates, but in reality, it’s not at all.
I don’t know about them yet.
It’s more like that because I said ‘companion’ rather than ‘friend’.
You may have friends, but there are also those who are difficult to call friends.
It’s safe to keep some distance.

“Please take my cup~”

“Ah, yes.
It is an honour.”

“Second Commander, Tada~”

Glasses are clinked and we both gulp down our beers.

“Kyaa~!
Oh, Deputy Commander, do you drink slowly?
You should eat quickly!”

No, but didn’t that nun just open her throat and drink?!
What are you drinking so fast?

“Because it’s my style to drink while savoring.”

“This time, even my cup!
Please take my cup too.”

“Sure.
Sister Mia.”

“Wow, remember my name!
Thank you!”

Gulp.

“This time me too!
My name is…”

“Sister Yohana, please take good care of our Marie.”

Gulp…

“This time…”

“Hey, wait!
Are you suggesting too much?!
I should recommend it in moderation!”

“This is Cha-am, it’s nice to see you, it’s nice to see you!
After your speech, everyone jumped out of the cathedral and jumped into civil war, but how much you cried after you escaped from the palace…”

“Huh!?!
Stop talking!!”

“Wait, wait a minute.
So, when everyone saw you crying every night, they thought you were a really bad person, so they said to scold you, but one day you suddenly said, ‘You are really a good person’…
Do you know that we were all dumbfounded?
But not too long ago, the man found out that he was a demon… That’s also the Demon King’s deputy commander…
Do you know how we feel right now?
Hey, I can’t just pass by because I’m sorry that we made our dogs cry.
Ruler!
Get a drink!”

“Two drinks are fine.”

“Camyu-sama?!
I-I’ll drink it instead!”

“No.
I made you cry, so I have to drink.
Gulp… Gulp… Gulp… Kyaa, thank you.”

Haha, you eat really well.
I’m sorry to give you more, but please accept mine.”

“Bill, the honey coffee I gave you was really good.”

“Me too!
Camus, you bad man!
Poor demons!
Cry the secretary of our nuns’ alumni association!
Get it!”

Haha, thank you Jessie.
Gulp, gulp…”

“Uh, uh… Camus, you don’t have to eat all of them…”

Marie is restless at the sight of me drinking all of it without refusing a single drink.

“Eww… I’m sorry, Camus.
I carelessly complained to my classmates…”

“No.
What is the benefit of self-employment?
Give me more
I will drink as much as Marie is pretty!”

“””Ooooo!!!”””

“Every, a whole beer keg… !
No way!”

***

Drinking beer makes you want to go to the bathroom.
On my way to the bathroom for a while.

“Hmm, hmm.”

“…”

Bill coughs out of embarrassment while waiting outside.
I go to the bathroom and look around without solving my menstrual symptoms.
Hmmm, there’s definitely no one here except the two of us.

“Shall we talk for a moment?”

“I will.”

Bubbly.
Tumble.

Bill was put under group hypnosis with the Knights at the Light Blinger Garrison.
Since he is a war priest, he could renew it periodically, but the hypnosis on him was to ‘be absolutely loyal to Angela’.
So what you say to me from now on will be purely based on your own ego and intelligence.

“Be careful.”

Stop.

A word from Bill thrown by my side.

“What do you mean?”

“As you may have noticed, many people here are still hostile to you.
No, of course it would be more correct to say hostile.”

“Because I am a demon?”

Because I’ve been showing my horns since the beginning.
I didn’t even wear a steel mask because I was afraid it would ruin the atmosphere, so I’d feel less intimidated.
There is also a way to drink by removing only the chin while wearing a mask, but if that’s the case, it’s better not to have a drink.
I deliberately took off my clothes because I thought I would meet people close to Marie.

“That’s true, but the problem is that you’re next to Marie.”

“Do you think the saintess who led you out of the cathedral is corrupt?”

“Similar.
Some are jealous, some are jealous.
Especially male priests.
Well, even though they are clergymen, there are people everywhere who have romantic feelings or mistake them for pseudo-love.
You can’t deny that Marianne’s good looks give her persuasion and leadership a lot of extra points.
Let’s call it a reaction.
The problem is not only that.”

“Right…
In essence, I would have doubts about the direction of the cathedral’s reforms.
The saintess leading the reform faction joined Queen Stella and condemned the conservatives… Indeed, Queen Stella announces her marriage plan with the demon tribe, and the saintess sticks closely to her demon tribe.
Somewhere it might give the impression that we are going in the wrong direction.”

“You got it right.
In fact, there were a lot of problems even from this beer party.
It doesn’t matter if you drink or not.
But being too free can be seen as self-indulgence.
Many of the reformers joined because they thought the conservatives were ignoring the scriptures and doctrine.
If you put it well, you should say that you are a principleist, and if you put it badly, you should say dogmatic.
Although the dogmatists were more on Philip’s side.
After all, many of the members of the Reform Party are rather conservative, so they participate in the Reformation.
I couldn’t live like this, and I ran out of the cathedral saying I would live according to the scriptures and doctrines, but after I came out, I was drinking and dating.”

“Isn’t it written in the scriptures that prohibit drinking and dating?”

Bill laughs.

“These are the words of the white sun god and the prophet for all people, but are they written that way?
Rather, it is meant to be fruitful and prosper.
However, priests have work ethic, laws, and rules.
War priests and nuns like me and Jessie have learned to think flexibly… Those who have always lived only in the cathedral and then jumped out of the cathedral think that these are the words of the sun god that they must abide by.”

Hmm, is this a serious problem?
It seems that the people who came out of the cathedral also formed a faction within it.

“Critically, the symbolic existence of the saint of the sun is meeting someone…
Even the fact that they are demons is an element that raises great doubts about the saintess’ leadership.
Since the beginning, the saintess has been image-making as a symbol of purity and sincerity.
You must have noticed that at the table where we were right now, there were a few people with hard faces and no words.
Now, when Marie starts walking around the other tables with you, she’ll become even more explicit.”

“Right.”

“Do you have any plans?
Marie has not yet publicly announced that she is in a relationship with you.
I must be worried too…
For the clergy, it is impossible to distinguish between public and private life.
Confession of faith is to do with one’s own life.
Not a prayer.”

Clenched fists

“Even if rumors spread about his relationship with Marie, it will be revealed later… Everyone will guess.
Mari’s friends and classmates will talk about it.”

Difficult, difficult
It’s annoying, so I want to hypnotize them all.
Since they are priests, they will solve it themselves someday.
If the hypnosis breakers among those many appear one by one, from then on they are complete enemies.
So it is unreasonable to solve the problem with hypnosis.

“Then… ?”

“I have something in mind.”

“May I ask?”

The thoughts of the past came out of my mouth.

“In order to save humans, the saintess sacrificed her body to the Demon Tribal General…
Isn’t that a moving story?”

“Puhahahahahahaha!!!!”

Bill smiled coolly.
