Chapter 23 – Part 1 Hunter – Pious Priest, Renoan (2)
‘If you succeed as an adventurer, you can become a noble.’
This is a phrase that was included in an advertisement recruiting adventurers.
However, no detailed information was known about how many of the adventurers became nobles, what and how they could become nobles.
So, it was just a simple propaganda phrase, and it was a story that there was no adventurer who actually became a noble, or that he was putting forward impossible conditions even if he could.
To think that noble could actually just pay bills…
“Yes, it literally means that from now on, Yuzu-sama will be treated like a viscount from the kingdom. A pension, salary, etc., Will be paid every year by the country. Of course, it is paid through the guild. It is not hereditary, unlike true nobility, so the heir can inherit property or land, but not the title, yes.”
“I don’t need to talk about it after I die. Anyway, are you saying I’m a noble now?”
“Yes, yes. From the moment you receive the Rainbow Medal, that adventurer will be treated as a noble. Wherever you go, for example, even if you enter the royal castle, just present the Rainbow Medal and you will pass. If you see it, you can benefit from it.”
“Noble… Am I an aristocrat…?”
I am dumbfounded. It doesn’t feel real at all.
Nobility. It is an existence above the clouds for us petit bourgeois.
There are stories of vicious aristocrats who exploit citizens only in novels, but the reality is that the aristocrats themselves are hard to see even for ordinary people like us, let alone vicious aristocrats.
But think about it. He didn’t have such a track record as an adventurer, heroic performance, or anything like that. He went from being a country boy to being a nobleman overnight simply by receiving a lot of bills from players?
…It’s shocking to think that he received even that billing benefit while holding a woman.
“Then, if I tell a commoner’s girl, ‘Play my opponent tonight’, will the commoner have no choice but to obey?”
“Eh. Well, how about that, even a noble can do something against the laws of the kingdom… There are stories about even a noble being deprived of his title if he commits a crime, and a while ago, there was a noble who had his entire family massacred or something like that.”
“…Then what if we eat at a restaurant and don’t pay?”
“That’s a bit too… A restaurant should file a complaint with the kingdom and be compensated by the kingdom, and a noble should pay a fine to the kingdom…?”
“What if I beat up a commoner I didn’t like?”
“Since it’s a nobleman, if there’s a reason, it’ll be extenuating, but if there’s no reason, it’s a simple case of assault, right?”
What. It’s different from the aristocratic image in my head.
Aren’t the aristocrats the kind of beings who can’t do anything about commoners even if they do whatever they want? Is my common sense simply too biased?
“Then, what are the advantages of being a noble?”
“Well, first of all, the country comes out with a salary… Occasionally attending kingdom meetings, leading conscripted soldiers in wartime, or governing the people of the territory when granted a territory…”
“What is that? Attending meetings and going to war are all negatives, right? I don’t even have a territory. Are you kidding me right now?”
“Oh, and bigamy becomes possible when you become a noble.”
“Bigamy?”
“Yes. Nobles are allowed to have multiple second wives besides their main wife…”
“Say something so important first!”
“Hee!”
When I knock on the table, the bishop is startled. Was a bit too much
“Anyway, I’ve roughly understood the story of the nobility. Then what is the granting of authority at the level of an archbishop?”
“The Archbishop of the Temple is the highest post following the Pope and the Cardinals. Next comes the Bishops, Senior Priests, Lay Priests, and Apprentice Priests.”
“So, what is the privilege of an archbishop?”
“T-privilege… If you have to mention it, you can adjust the voting rights when electing cardinals and the positions of the priests below. Of course, there must be a legitimate reason. And it is also possible to recommend priests as bishops or archbishops. This is also possible for other bishops. We need approval from the people.”
“What? Then it’s useless.”
Haha…”
“Still, you’re higher than a bishop?”
“Mu, of course, he’s a higher position than a bishop like me.”
“If you say archbishop, will it be popular with female priests?”
“Haha. Priests, both body and soul, are dedicated to God. It is stipulated in the doctrine that all priests, regardless of gender, must remain chaste. So it is useless even if you have secular thoughts about the priestess.”
“Huh? Then the bishop is also a male bachelor?”
“Of course, as a priest, I also keep my body and soul pure.”
The bishop, who was over 40, replied proudly.
Really… He’s sorry for bothering you.
“The Archbishop says there’s nothing special then.”
“Nothing special…”
“Is this next? District 1, District 2, over there? Aristocratic Street.”
“Yes. District 1 is a special district around the capital, and is only available to nobles and their officials.”
“Is District 2 a rich neighborhood?”
“It’s less restrictive than District 1, but so to speak. District 2 costs money to get into.”
“What are you doing in the castle? Can I seduce the princess?”
“That, such a disrespectful… Even if you are a semi-noble, it will not be easy for you to have an audience with the royal family. Even more so, if you become a princess, you will completely block one-on-one meetings with men… If possible, apply for an audience in advance. I think I should get permission. Of course, you shouldn’t touch the maids and maids of the royal castle either.”
“Oh, you know what I wanted to ask.”
“Haa… I don’t know what’s possible in the royal castle, but I hope you don’t cause trouble. Even if you’re a semi-noble, disrespect for the royal family is hard to forgive.”
This man, your senses are sharp. I was interested in the royal castle maid because they said that only good-looking girls from each region were chosen to enter.
But even if you can’t touch one-sidedly, wouldn’t it be okay to have free love? Whoops…
“I get it roughly. But Bishop, I didn’t hear about this VIP system in the tutorial.”
“Yes? The VIP is the most important system in the temple, so I have to explain it to all the adventurers…”
“Yes, yes. But I didn’t hear the explanation. That’s why I couldn’t get a discount at the store or inn, and I only got two quests at a time, so I went back and forth to the guild dozens of times yesterday. I heard from the staff and only came to receive it now. Thanks to you, the loss in time and money is enormous.”
Of course, it wasn’t that much damage. I couldn’t even get the tutorial because I ran out on the way. In fact, you can call it a living room.
“That, that’s really disrespectful if true. Thorough training for the priests conducting the tutorial…”
“No, I want to talk to you directly. Can you call the priest? I don’t know the name, but he did a tutorial two days ago, and he has green eyes and a body like this…”
I smile and explain the priest in question. Sweat was dripping down the bishop’s bald forehead.
*
About 10 minutes later, the bishop came in with a pale-faced goddess coffin.
Oh, that priest was right. As much as it happened, there is no way I can forget it.
I couldn’t take my eyes off it at the time, but this priest had a very nice body. Even though it is a priestly uniform with no exposure, it seems that the chubby body will break through the priestly uniform at any moment. It’s a body that seems to be very soft and fluffy if you hug it.
The drooping eyes are kind and the lips are plump, so they look good for kissing. Her hair is wrapped in a veil and completely hidden.
“That’s right, that priest. I’m sorry I called you because you’re busy. Then the bishop is out for a while. I want to talk with just the two of us.”
“That, but…”
“Do not worry. .”
“…I see. Rinoan, if anything happens.”
“Yes, Bishop Grief…”
And the bishop left the room.
That? What is it? An emergency bell? Or is it an item for countermeasures against molesters?
Anyway, the reason I said it out of my ear must have meant a warning not to forcefully touch it.
Whoops. Of course, I have no intention of forcing it. It’s a forced word. Whoop whoop.
“Can you tell me your name and age first?”
“My name is Renoan, 23 years old, and I am…”
The tutorial priest, Rinoan, stammered. Unlike the time of the tutorial, he is very nervous.
“Then Rinoan, do you know why I called you?”
“That, I said the tutorial lacked explanation…”
“No. No. Well, there’s that, but that’s a very trivial thing to me.”
“Hey, then what…?”
Renoan standing next to the table.
The chubby ass is right next to it. You want to sit next to him and pet him, but hold back for now.
“Rinoan, do you know who I am?”
To my question, Rinoan replied with a puzzled face.
“I… I’m sorry. I can’t remember.”
“Then, would you understand if I said this? Four friends who came to take a tutorial together two days ago. Three of them got billing benefits as soon as they got a job, and the other one didn’t. So, one of them was abandoned by his friends and ran out of the temple crying on the way. .”
“Ah, that’s a memory… Ah…!”
“Do you remember now? At that time, I was the only person who didn’t get billing benefits. So I was the poor person who was abandoned by my friends.”
I smiled bitterly and met Rinoan’s eyes. And the look on Renoan’s face… Is indescribable.
“They and I were friends who were born in the same hometown and have been together for more than 10 years. And one of them was also a lover who promised a future. “
“Is that because of me…?”
Confused Rinoan. Of course it’s a live house. But here, it is only pushed with ‘because of you’.
“Yes, Rinoan, thanks to your encouragement, I was abandoned. The people who benefited from billing were 100 times better than 100 people who were not as good as me, or because you treated me like trash. Now I am a VIP. I downloaded enough bills to reach level 10, but now I can’t get my relationship back again. It’s all because of you.”
“That, like…”
Rinoan, who puts his hands together and panics. I spread my arms and continued the story in a theatrical tone.
“My soul was torn apart and fell to the bottom of hell. Last night I spent a sleepless night shedding bloody tears.
“Ugh…”
“I was angry, unfair, sad, lonely, and I couldn’t help but resent everything in the world. If it wasn’t for that priest at the time, if that priest didn’t say things that discriminated against me, this wouldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t have felt this kind of pain, I mean…”
“I-I think so…”
Tears welled up in Renoan’s emerald eyes. Yes yes You feel a little more guilty. To the point of doing anything to apologize to me!
“But no matter how much I resent and grieve, I can’t return the broken bowl. Even if I belatedly get billing benefits and become VIP level 10. Even if I get the title of nobility, even if I get the title of archbishop! Lost friends and lovers won’t come back anymore! !”
I stepped right in front of Renoan’s frightened face and yelled even more.
“Rinoan. How are you going to take responsibility? What are you going to do with my loneliness!!”
One step closer to Renoan. Rinoan took a step back with his pale face.
“Ah, yo, forgive me…”
“Forgiveness? If I forgive you, what will happen? Are you saying that you will be forgiven alone and get peace of mind after driving me to the bottom of this hell?”
“Sorry, sorry…”
“What’s the meaning of your apology? Do you think that one word will lessen my loneliness even a little bit?”
“Ugh…”
When I stopped him from even saying an apology, Rinoan only moved his gaze anxiously, and in effect panicked.
You shouldn’t give him a chance to think calmly. A little bit ahead.
“Linoan. I want sincere sincerity, not just an apology. I want you to soothe the loneliness of losing my lover on behalf of that lover.”
Having said this, even a priest who is ignorant of colors must have realized what that meant. Holding both of his hands as if praying inside Rino, he spoke in a puzzled voice.
“Ah, that, forgive me… I will no longer be able to serve the god if I lose the priest who dedicated my body and soul to the god, and the bodily virgin…!”
“Is that so. Renoan ruined my life so cruelly that he has no intention of sacrificing anything?”
“That, not really, but that’s… Ah, what am I supposed to do… Lord…”
Giving up on thinking, Rinoan now began to search for God.
No no no no God doesn’t make children for you. This is something only Renoan can do.
“Okay. Rinoan, I won’t take your virginity for the sake of your faithfulness.”
“Is that really true?”
At my words, Rinoan was visibly white.
Is it because they have been confined to the narrow world of temples? Even so, I had no idea it would be so easy to fish.
“Yes. I’ll use another hole instead.”
“Another hole…?”
“Didn’t you know? A person can perform pseudo-sexual acts with the hole on the buttock side. Mainly, when sexual intercourse is impossible, that is, when a virgin must be kept according to religious beliefs, such as Rinoan, the hole on that side, not the genital organ, is used instead of the act. Will.”
“That, it can’t be! Ha, the anus isn’t meant for that, that kind of thing!”
“You sleep for such a purpose, and many people already use it like that?”
“Ah…How could that…God…”
“Let’s find God later. It’s not God who’s here, it’s me and Rinoan. You’ve given me this far, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do it? You’ve taken everything from me and ruined people’s lives, and Rinoan can’t do anything. Can’t you?”
“Ah…God…”
…Umm. I’ve pushed quite a bit, but is it still impossible?
Renoan is in a state where it looks like it will explode at any moment and run away.
“…I see. Even Renoan would have a hard time enduring such a direct act from the start.”
“Ah…?”
“I’ll forgive both the virgin and the anus. But I swear. I’ll accept my next offer unconditionally. I can’t give up any more than this.”
At my suggestion, a little light of hope shone in Rinoan’s eyes.
“Well, what is that…”
“So, before you hear that, swear. I won’t steal your virgin, and I won’t have anal sex, so I swear to God that I’ll do anything in return. I’m saying that you should show the minimum amount of sincerity as well.”
“Ah…”
Linoan looked at me, then at the floor, then at the ceiling, and for a long time he wandered here and there as if looking for something.
And finally, Reno Ann made up her mind and closed her eyes and responded as if in prayer.
“…I understand. Priest Rinoan, I swear to God, I will listen to anything the adventurer says.”
Her voice was surprisingly calm as she made up her mind.
