Chapter 190 – Testing (2)
After Elisha’s panic incident.
I cautiously told the story, fearing that the other women would also be startled, but… Surprisingly, everyone simply agreed and moved on.
They’re already tied to me, and they say it’s no different than 4 or 5 people.
As for me, I was worried about what would happen if I didn’t show it outwardly like Elisha, but whimpered on the inside… For those familiar with polygamy or slavery, it must have been a problem that their minds were prepared for a long time ago.
Anyway, for that reason, I just lay around all day, sometimes getting a report on how things are going, signing some papers, and then chatting with the women who come in turns one by one…
After enjoying life without thinking for a long time, the mana circuits that were sparsely disconnected became intact.
That is, she says that it is time to leave the hospital.
“It’s a bit unfortunate, Fei-senpai.”
“Yes. Yeah. The time we have together like this is unexpectedly precious. … But can’t you get hurt again in the future? Am I really going to cry?”
“I will keep in mind. It would be so unfair to leave things like this and not be able to touch them.”
She put her arm around Faye’s shoulder as they stood side by side. A little deep. To the extent that his hand could touch Faye’s large chest.
Shred.
“Oh… Junior is mischievous.”
Faye, who slightly inflates her cheeks, doesn’t push her away. Rather, he leans forward with his head down.
It doesn’t seem like he hates the way the corners of his mouth look down.
It wasn’t long before they played by pressing down on Faye’s swollen cheeks. After one last check to make sure there were no items left behind, I left the treatment room with Faye at my side.
Rattle.
“Good morning, brother. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get permission to visit, so we finally got to see each other today. I’m glad you recovered safely… Suck!”
And while he was talking, he bumped into Helena, who covered her mouth.
The bright blond hair that was braided into one is soft. Likewise, the glittering golden eyes swayed wildly between me and Fei.
What? Even so, I couldn’t touch it from the outside, so I removed my hand from my chest.
Wanting to know why, I looked back at Fei and I now.
Bowed head. Eyes invisible because of long bangs. Trembling mouth. A body leaning against me as if hugging me.
Well. Anyone can see it right after the affair. I roughly understood.
… But there’s no need to make a fuss about it. After the duel the other day, there is no one who doesn’t know that Fei and I are close friends.
As if nothing had happened, he smiled normally and said hello.
“Priest Helena. Thank you for your concern. Thanks to you, I was able to get better quickly.”
“Me too! Thanks… I heard that the Church of Righteous Light provided first aid? Thanks to that, her junior was able to recover without major aftereffects.”
Fei expresses her thanks even though she hesitates a bit. In a strange sense of pride, he stroked his messy hair.
“Eww… Don’t! I’m a senior… !”
Faye’s head swayed weakly as my hand moved. Did you come to your senses when you saw it?
Helena, who blushed slightly, cleared her throat and continued.
“Hmmmm. Of course it had to be done. Aren’t you the one chosen by our Lord and not by anyone else? Even the cardinal was delighted, saying it was an honor.”
“I’m grateful but embarrassed to say that.”
“Brother Yandel deserves it, so don’t be burdened. … In fact, you received a much more brilliant protection than last time, didn’t you?”
Helena closed her eyes while making the sign of the cross at me.
Did you feel that the protection rank of the sun god had risen to A+?
As if he was startled, the way he prayed was reverent.
I clumsily followed my last name and only tilted my head after greeting each other.
“By the way, what about Priest Helena? It looks like you’ve been waiting for me to come out, do you have something to do?”
“Ah, yes. Yes. First of all… Please accept this.”
Looking around her, Helena handed over a pile of her neatly folded clothes from her pocket.
“This?”
“The nun uniform you requested earlier. I’ve prepared everything. … Just in case, you’re not saying you need another one, are you?”
“Ahaha… That’s it…”
“Whoops. I knew that, and actually prepared another one! Is this enough?”
Helena pulls out another set of her nun clothes and puts them on with her mouth clattering.
She quickly put it in her inventory and grabbed Helena’s hand.
“What all of this… As expected, Priest Helena seems to be very thoughtful.”
“I am not happy to be praised for something like this. Of course, this thing…”
“You mean it’s a secret? Of course you have to protect it. Instead, Priest Helena is also a secret?”
“Yes. Anyway, this hand…”
“Oops. I’m a bit out of my mind.”
When she let go of her hand, Helena immediately pulled it out as if she was ashamed and gathered it in front of her own chest.
Her body, hidden by her baggy nun’s robe, is slightly outlined as she presses it into her hand.
“… Junior?”
I immediately turned my attention to Fay’s suspicious voice.
“Hmm. Thank you anyway. You came all the way here to bring me this.”
“Don’t worry about it, it’s a combination. There is a slightly more important story than that.”
“As expected, something happened. Tell me please.”
“Actually, perhaps because they were frightened by Brother Yandel and Professor Iona’s performance this time, the cultists are abandoning their branch and running away somewhere.”
“Yes? Run away? Are you a cult?”
All cultists are basically fanatics. He hides for a cause, but does not run away even if he is caught.
Because protecting the branch is a mission given by God.
Unless you receive a direct trust or receive an order based on the contents of an trust received from the headquarters, you will never abandon your branch.
They regard death as a martyrdom and are not afraid of it, so why would they run away?
But in other words, if there is a clear order, the branch can be abandoned at any time.
Like right now
“Yes. Surprisingly true. There are still a few chapters that I have been monitoring only by identifying the location… I got a call that they were all empty overnight.”
“Huh.”
“So uh…”
Helena, who hesitated for a moment, continued with a very sorrowful expression.
“It seems a bit difficult to subdue the cultists during the promised vacation. Sorry…”
“…”
Uh, well
So. Are you so sorry that you can’t support the cult?
It is true that I am greatly favored by the righteous Light, but I am a bit of a Mongamon if treated the same way.
She smiled awkwardly and patted Helena on the shoulder.
“It’s okay. Maybe. Then, shall we change our plan a bit?”
“You mean a change?”
“Yes. I just wanted to visit the main body of the Church of Light… Would it be okay?”
“Huh! Of course! Of course it’s fine! The Lord will also welcome Brother Yandel to come!”
Helena recovered at once and smiled brightly.
Yes. You should have visited at least once anyway.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the righteous light is trying to make me an apostle, but I have no intention of doing that.
If you become an apostle of God, you have no choice but to live bound by doctrine, whether you like it or not. Righteous Light is a relatively free-spirited god, but the rules still exist.
Above all, my characteristics are geared towards wizards, but when I officially become an apostle, I am forced to become a cleric.
Magical power is also replaced with divine power, and the existing build is thrown away.
Of course you should decline.
I’m going to the headquarters for that. With Helena as an apostle, I’m going to shobu with myself to leave it alone.
In any case, if you reveal the purpose of finally subduing all the evil gods, even if you regret it a little, you won’t catch it.
… Seeing how he ran around the other day, he might be surprisingly well behaved.
Because the righteous light is a generous god.
Helena, who was delighted without knowing what I was feeling, bowed her head.
“Thank you for your understanding. Then, as I said before, let’s meet at the main gate of the academy on the third day of vacation.”
“Ah, about that part… I think the number of people will increase a little, is that okay?”
“Don’t worry, they said they would send the best wagon of our church.”
“Aha? That’s fortunate. Then we will know that and prepare for it.”
There is a suitable dungeon along the way, so if you can clear it pretending to find it by chance, clear it and go.
I thought to myself and nodded my head moderately.
Even after that, she continued to talk about the current situation of Helena and her academy while walking down the street and parted ways in the central square.
Helena to her own dormitory. I took Fay and headed to the training center dedicated to Iona.
Like the class A students, the professors also have their own private training center. I hear the facilities are much better…
It’s probably because most of the professors are middle-level magicians, so they’re designed to withstand even intermediate level magic.
As soon as my body is completely healed, there is something I want to check first, so I told Iona in advance to borrow her training room.
“Is it here?”
“I think that’s right, junior?”
The building arrived after crossing a slightly complicated road. A light knock on the door with her nameplate, Iona Francesca, immediately opens the door.
Profit.
Those who had been waiting in the space surrounded by pure white tiles greeted us warmly.
“Master! I was waiting for you!”
“Yandel. Are you really fine now?”
“Come on! Come on! Hello Fei students!”
Carla, Elisha, and Iona in turn lightly hugged and greeted each other, then stood at the center of the training ground.
“Well then, shall we do it together?”
Shouldn’t it be a test to see if I really have risen to the rank of lieutenant mage?
I was worried about this the whole time I was lying down.
