Chapter 62 – Return (6)

“Once a priest moves to a region, he must stay in that region for at least three years. This rule came about because there are many cases in which priests who went to a local position applied for a regional move again without being handed over.”

Alice clicked her tongue in silence. It was because she now had one more reason why she couldn’t move right away. I smiled and said to Rumia.

“Right. Then, while we are here, is there any chance that Rumia suddenly goes somewhere?”

“Even if someone voluntarily requested a job change in a remote area like this, there is no reason for me to accept it, and there is no reason for the priests to seek a place like this. There is nothing to eat for corrupt priests, and it is too narrow for priests with dreams.”

“Yes.”

Alice nodded her head as if she understood what I was saying. She and she turned her head to look at the square. In the square, Sophia was wearing a maid outfit and chatting with people. For those who don’t know her past as a courtesan at the academy, Sophia was a new and cute maid.

“Oh yeah. You used to work in a factory?”

“Yes. It was a place that produces sensor devices, so if you have something like a small magic device, I can fix it.”

The people who were particularly interested in her were the well-known and well-to-do in the village. With wrinkles and age spots on their faces and their backs curved as if they were greedy, they clung to Sofia’s side and pretended to be friendly.

“Heh heh, then there are things in our house that are no longer in use, so can you fix them too?”

“Oh, what kind of item is it?”

When Sophia asked, the man grabbed his crotch as if in anticipation and shouted.

“Here, this thing here. Heh heh heh heh!”

“And… Real dirty bastards.”

Alice cursed in a voice so low that she couldn’t hear them. Local dignitaries who had a close relationship with Carlson were key local figures holding a tight grip on the wine business in the region.

No matter how much Carlson was an official who flew and crawled in the center, now with only one line left in his career, he needed to look good to them, and instead of treating them to entertainment, he was dealing with being treated as an ‘adult’ from a capital official.

Alice was even more disgusted because she knew about their close relationship and their dirty inside. They crawled like worms to the powerful, but were unreasonably cruel to those weaker than themselves.

Now, the man who was harassing Sophia was the man who raped the peasant’s wife and her daughter and went to court. He claimed that his wife and daughter had offered themselves ‘voluntarily’ to him in exchange for rent, and the judge, who was receiving cheap wine and liquor from the man, acquitted him based on his testimony and the tenant’s ‘confession’. .

“Really, dirty bastards.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long before I see you like that.”

Alice tried to forget the cruel incidents that kept coming back to her mind. I saw that the local governor kept making boring jokes, and Sophia accepted them with a really hard expression.

She must have met all kinds of truthful young people at the academy, but it seemed that she had never seen such an outspoken human being. Sophia tactfully broke the man’s joke while wiping away the cold sweat. Said Alice.

“By the way, wouldn’t this be a problem? Isn’t that where the priest came from?”

I snorted at her concern.

“The only priest in this area who uses divine power is on our side, who is coming? Looking good. You have to fish them in very slowly, one by one.”

Sophia continued to listen to the local governor, then gave me a wink.

I gave her a thumbs up.

Sofia’s operation. The first step was going smoothly.

*****

“Hey, the new maid who came to the mansion this time is just a sucker…! Ugh…!”

A middle-aged bald man drinking from her shakes her head and compliments Sofia on her breasts. The voluptuous and alluring body of a succubus was setting fire to the hearts of middle-aged men. Another man sitting next to him talked about Alice.

“Ge-Geol Alice and Bitch just went around smelling like a woman. Did you see that Her thighs are just so skinny, uh… ! Go crazy uh?”

“Oh, sir. Why is the saint silent?”

The bald man asked the man who was quietly drinking in the corner. Her in-laws name is Efort. It was a rich man who had a fairly large vineyard for growing wine. He said, rubbing his belly protruding like a tadpole.

“That, Sophia. I feel like I have a heart.”

“Aye, brother. Stop talking nonsense and have another drink. What do you miss about the bitch who entered the Plancia mansion, so you and your older brother suck?”

They are very filthy and dirty people, but they prided themselves on being sensible. Because he had never invaded the mansion of Plancia and raped Isabel, nor had he molested Elena, the maid of the mansion. They were just pitiful people who raped peasants and powerless travelers.

“Hey, man. Did I see it? Didn’t you see I was talking to you today? He secretly sent me an autograph. Sign? Uh. Laughing at my jokes, or blushing. Because this is what I have in mind.”

However, it was the feeling of love that shook the sense of self-interest of these ordinary locals. Effort believed that although he and Sophia had met for the first time, some invisible bond had connected them. He also believed that if he moved forward along this line, there would surely be a beautiful ending waiting for him.

“Older brother…”

“Ugh!”

Effort raised his glass while shouting at the other local dignitaries who were trying to say something. It was a gesture to move on to another subject, but they only looked at Effort with a sullen face.

*****

“Ah, Mr. Effort. Hello!”

The next morning. Effort’s mouth widened when he saw Sofia greet him warmly. Other local officials who passed nearby could only tilt their heads when they saw Efort’s relaxed expression in broad daylight and Sofia’s hands clenched tightly together as if she had come to meet Efort and wink shyly.

“No, really?”

“It seems true.”

Sophia was showing affection to the extent that local dignitaries were dubious. She chuckled at Efort’s jokes, and she knew Efort’s favorite drink and the old army.

Furthermore, seeing her standing in front of the fountain as if she had come to see Efort even on days when she wasn’t grocery shopping, even local dignitaries could not help but be mistaken that Sophia had feelings for Efort.

A few days later, at her drinking party, Efort said with a strong face, with her back straight.

“Did you see these guys? Uh? I’m still in full swing. This is it!”

He seemed in a better mood than usual. Other local dignitaries couldn’t help but shake their heads or laugh at the unbelievable sight, even though they had witnessed it themselves. Effort was just an ordinary middle-aged man.

The local nobles gathered here all had an unfounded sense of superiority that they were better than their opponents. It was the reality of the local government meeting to face people who were lacking in all aspects, wearing a mask and voyeurism, only having a little more wealth than themselves or a little more women.

But now, the object of voyeurism has changed unilaterally. Effort was gazing at the losers as a man who proudly won beauty at a gathering of local leaders.

“Tomorrow, we decided to go to the Plancia Mansion. My Sofia begged the madam to invite me. Isn’t it really cute?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

Local dignitaries who lost their motivation couldn’t even have the energy to refute Effort’s words. Seeing Effort’s smiling face made me feel angry for no reason.

“I, I will go first today.”

“Older brother. I’ll go too. I remember being busy…”

“Oh, yes. I should go in early too. It shouldn’t smell like alcohol tomorrow.”

At Effort’s words, the local dignitaries shook their heads and walked away. Effort felt good even when they broke the bar. Tomorrow I’ll be able to spend it with a cute girl like Sophia.

******

The next morning. Efort wore a neat suit and oiled his hair. He combed his hair into a plaster-like shape, and then he put his yellow teeth in the mirror and extolled his own perfection. It was because a middle-aged middle-aged man was standing over the mirror, although his stomach was slightly protruding, but he was still eating somewhere.

Efort bought a bouquet of flowers in the square, humming his song.

Did you say that red roses mean passionate love? The scent of the rose was so strong that Effort was already intoxicated. In the other hand was a glass of wine. It was a fine wine from his own farm.

“Wow, that’s romantic.”

Effort exclaimed, drunk once more at his romantic gift. Pedestrians passing by hurriedly widened their distance, fearing that Effort would get into a fight.

“Excuse me-.”

Before I knew it, Effort arrived in front of the rusty iron bars. He could see the family crest of Plancia in the distance. He used to feel like a wall that seemed easy when Carlson was around, but after Carlson died.

“Ah, you are a guest.”

The door opened and Elena, the maid of the mansion, appeared. She seemed a little surprised to see her eport, then she immediately turned her body around. Efort imagined that Elena might have fallen in love with her own self, and she laughed happily.

“You can go this way.”

“Ah yes. All right.”

Effort smiled and entered the mansion.

Clap!

As soon as he entered, the door was locked.

“Welcome. Customer!”

Evan pulled a will and approached him.

“Uh, what…”

“Now, please sit down quickly.”

As Sofia smirked, she emerged from behind him. Without Effort noticing, leather straps were tied to both of his hands.

“Huh… ! Cow, Sophia… ! What the hell is this!”

Said Evan.

“Don’t worry. Fuck you bitch Because it’s nothing.”

“You, you bastard! Know who I am! I won’t let you go! Release it now!”

Both Evan and Sophia laughed. Elena sang her hum as she made her way to her kitchen, and on the ledge of the second-floor lobby, Alice was obliquely staring at Efort. Sophia said.

“Are you okay. You’ll be a good person when it’s over.”
