Chapter 4 – 13 Underground Auction – Physically strong saint

 Eh—......

To give an idea of what's going on, I'm sitting in a chair surrounded by a group of sisters, and I'm about to be interrogated by a blonde-haired sister-like woman who is sitting on the side with a huge cross stuck in the floor.

“Well, I guess what we should start with is” (Blonde-haired sister)

The blonde sister smiles with a happy face, dangling her feet.

That smile, it's not a nice smile in a cathedral.

It's a twisted one.

Yeah, freaky smile.

“Hmm?　Looking at you carefully, I can see that you have black eyes. And if you have black hair, could it be a 'drifter'?” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Well, yeah” (Itsuki)

“Then can't you easily get out of this situation?” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Well...... maybe?” (Itsuki)

I don't think it's impossible to escape if I can run through at full speed with Shiro in my arms while activating <Invisible Jail>.

And at least there's Freed out front.

If we're making noise outside, Aina and the others who noticed the commotion will probably come running in.

Maybe the church will chase us away because of all the lies we've been told and we'll never be able to come to the capital again, but we are not likely to die.

“So why don't you just do it?” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Well, I mean, you'd chase us if we ran, right?” (Itsuki)

“Of course, we will” (Blonde-haired sister)

“If we behave, we can leave unharmed, right?　Well, then I'll just sit here and let us go home” (Itsuki)

“...... Well, at least I swear to the goddess that I'll protect you that much” (Blonde-haired sister)

That's right.

Shiro said there was no murderous intent, and if they were going to do anything, they would have taken us to a more secluded room or basement instead of a room like this that they would normally use.

Besides, right now Shiro is being fed with the snacks on the desk.

Basically, even though it's a super scary situation, they don't seem like bad people.

“Huh ...... So, what did you see?” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Hmm—......” (Itsuki)

Well, I don't know what to do.

If I honestly said I saw it, there would be some kind of reaction.

If I tell them I didn't see it, will they let me go immediately?

Well, I don't think so.

“Silence is an affirmation, and it doesn't bother to be seen, though” (Blonde-haired sister)

“That means?” (Itsuki)

“You are a drifter, so you don't know anything about it. ......” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Uh, ......, well, sorry” (Itsuki)

“No, that's fine. I'll give you a good explanation anyway” (Blonde-haired sister)

With that, the blonde-haired sister walked down from the cross and began to speak.

“The church's money comes from donations, healing and offerings from its members. Also, when the undead spring up, they run to the church and get a reward when they are cleansed. That's why we are making a living on the money of believers” (Blonde-haired sister)

“And what about the smell of alcohol?” (Itsuki)

“Wine yields with the blood of God, you see. It yields the only liquor allowed in the church” (Blonde-haired sister)

“...... What about purple smoke?” (Itsuki)

“The leaves of Yggdrasil are dried, chopped and rolled up with dried Yggdrasil leaves after use. It has no bad effects, in fact, it is an excellent healing and tension-relieving agent, you know?　Unlike regular cigars, which are banned, Yggdrasil leaves are made from legal medicinal ingredients, of course” (Blonde-haired sister)

......

I'm not sure it's a crappy ......, but it's really a permitted thing.

I've vaguely heard that wine is the blood of God.

As for cigars, if they create a good effect rather than a bad one, is it okay ......?

Aside from the smell, though.

Come to think of it, the reason Shiro couldn't react to it, no matter how much there was no killing intent, could be due to the tension-relieving effect of the leaf cigars called Yggdrasil.

“And besides, if they started to forbid it, it would lower our divine energy, and we'd soon find out” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Does divine energy change?” (Itsuki)

I wondered if it was true that I thought it was a psychic fraud business earlier.

No, but I didn't say a definite word that it might be, I'm sure.

“Yes, it does. For example, if you kill an innocent person, your divine energy will disappear and you won't be able to receive God's blessings, and believers who have some degree of faith will be able to disable their brainwashing skills” (Blonde-haired sister)

“What's that for?” (Itsuki)

“We are brainwashed by the goddess, so to speak. Do you think that a mere brainwashing skill of a creature like us can beat the brainwashing of a goddess?” (Blonde-haired sister)

“I have not thought about that ....... I thought if people have a lot of divine energy, they can get baptized?” (Itsuki)

“Yes, it is. It allows you to learn holy magic with the strength of your divine energy. Holy magic has the power to heal and cure abnormalities and purify the undead. Well, there are exceptions that can use holy magic without being baptized” (Blonde-haired sister)

Although she stares intently at me, unfortunately I don't remember because I didn't take holy magic.

Hayato would have said that his unique skill is 'Holy Sword of Light Excalibur' and that he received a skill that goes well with it, so maybe he remembers it.

“Also, goddesses give special blessings based on the strength of their divine energy, and popes and saints are also determined by the strength of their divine energy” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Oh, so you mean the one at the top can't be a bad guy who cheats” (Itsuki)

Nice, I like that system.

To be honest, I thought all religions were a cult-like money-grabbing group.

They'd come in for something and say, 'Wouldn't you like to be happy too!' Kind of.

I'm afraid of the eyes that really think about that good will sharing .......

There's one thing about this world that's very different from the one we were in before.

It's us, the drifters.

If the existence of many drifters is well known, then the truth that goddesses are real must also be widely spread.

The fact that there are so many of us, I suppose, means that the truth about the goddess is widely known, and it makes sense to me, even if I'm not a religious person, to pray to an actual goddess, rather than an unseen god.

“Well, I can't say that it's always true....... The proof is that people like me are saints too” (Blonde-haired sister)

“Heh, you're a saint. ...... A saint!?” (Itsuki)

Whoa!?

Oh, you mean the saint, right?

Isn't she apostolic, with a mild and noble vibe, a combination of beauty and compassion, and she'll listen to the word of God?

Isn't she a benevolent being who loves flowers, but is content to just look at them because she feels sorry for them to be plucked?

It's all my prejudice, though!

For some reason, this girl who has a slit in her sister's dress that extends down the length of her chest and is fastened once around her waist, but I wonder if she has a taste for exposure?

As beautiful as her legs are through the slit, this girl who is dressed like she can't see the strap of her underwear and has been wondering about the inside of it every time she walks for a while now?

No matter which way I look at it, she's like a street guy puffing up gum or something!

Not trying to be a gunslinger or anything, but I think she'd look better in a cowgirl outfit than a sister outfit!

Language and stuff is weird!

Putting it on makes it more respectful, but it's a mistake!

“...... Well, I'm not surprised. I can't believe it myself, after all” (Blonde-haired saint)

“No!　The captain is definitely a saint!　Even the believers love you!” (One of sister)

“I'm the most vulgar saint ever seen in history, so let's stop” (Blonde-haired saint)

“No, it's not!　All the people in the village we helped the other day came to worship!” (One of sister)

“No, no, wait, let me get into it with the captain” (One of sister)

A saint with being called a captain?

I don't know what's going on anymore and I'm not following it.

“Yes, we're mainly responsible for defeating the undead. I'm the captain of the Priest-Knights” (Blonde-haired saint)

“Are you okay with that?　I mean, you're a saint in such a way, right?” (Itsuki)

“Well, besides me, there are other proper saints as well. They treat me like a saint when I have a certain amount of divine energy” (Blonde-haired saint)

“Our captain is awesome!　She has more divine energy than any other saint, and she has the blessing of the Goddess in her physical body!” (One of sister)

Goddess blessings on the flesh ......, like a semi-cheat ability?

“Well, it's just easier to touch than being told” (Blonde-haired saint)

Then she took my hand and made me shove my hand into the slit around her waist.

“Wait, you ......, huh?” (Itsuki)

What the hell is this.

I thought I was imagining a girl's soft, smooth skin .......

Stiffness?

It doesn't seem like a tickle, or even a cracked abdominal muscle.

“Wasn't it stiff?　My muscles are getting weird and powerful. It's not just my stomach. My arms and legs also developed like this. This is a blessing from Goddess. As far as giving such a blessing to me, a woman, Goddess is a goddess, so let's stop this. It's probably the only conscience I have, or maybe it's just that I don't have a muscular appearance ......” (Blonde-haired saint)

Blonde-haired Sister looks a little sad.

Of course, it is.

She's a girl and it's a shock to see her body get all hard.

“Well, even such a thing is useful. I can rush into danger without fear of injury” (Blonde-haired saint)

“So that' why you're the captain of a squad that kills the undead” (Itsuki)

“That's right I suppose. Weapon is being use with that. The weight, well, the big guy can't swing it, even if he has it” (Blonde-haired saint)

That said, she pointed to the huge bright white cross she was sitting on earlier.

The top and bottom tips of the cross are split in two, and a stick is attached to the top and bottom of the cross to make it easier to swing it around.

And a round hole was drilled in the center of the cross, and a stick was also attached to the center of the cross so that it could be grabbed.

I suppose that's how she smashed and blew up the undead.

It was a beautiful pure white cross, just like the one in the church, so clean that there was no trace of it remaining.

I'm sure it has been maintained well.

“By the way, ...... how long are you going to keep touching people's belly?” (Blonde-haired saint)

“Hmm?　...... Ah!” (Itsuki)

It just felt amazing.

I'd never felt anything like it before, and somehow, I didn't want to let go.

“Jeez, for you to not be boring to touch such hard skin ......” (Blonde-haired saint)

“You don't get angry?” (Itsuki)

“I don’t mind, but rather I feel sorry for not being soft” (Blonde-haired saint)

That said, I stare lightly into her eyes as I rub her belly, but I wonder if she was still embarrassed.

“Captain, you're blushing!　Was it because a man touched you in a normal way?” (One of sister)

“Will you shut up?　Want to get smashed up?” (Blonde-haired saint)

A blonde sister with a bright red face and holding up a huge cross.

Even I, who had only just met her, could tell that her face was concealing her embarrassment, no matter how I looked at it.

Nevertheless,

“Yep, you really don't look different” (Itsuki)

Even though she was lifting a huge, heavy cross, the muscles in her arms were only slightly raised.

“Hey, stop touching me like this” (Blonde-haired saint)

“You don't mind it, right?　Since it's the perfect time” (Itsuki)

“On what is perfect time!　In general, your common sense is crazy, I suppose!” (Blonde-haired saint)

“Just a little more” (Itsuki)

I wonder what it is.

I don't know if this is addictive or not, but this hardness is good.

Once again, I'm not surprised at how wide my strike zone is.

I mean, this embarrassed and angry face is so cute.

And maybe the way she speaks like this or something like that is actually for the purpose of reducing the divine energy from the Goddess, but she's also a good kid who cares about the church and at least cares to talk about the other person with 'masu' left behind.

It's a strange use of ki, but if I think about it that way, the long slit and maybe not wearing it is actually for the purpose of reducing the divine energy from the goddess-sama,

『 Ugh, it's embarrassing to look like this. But if this is the way to get back to a normal body ......』(Blonde-haired saint)

『 If I go back to a normal body, will I be forced to quit the church?　But then I could get married or something, right? 』(Blonde-haired saint)

『 A husband, huh? I'd like to have a simple, kind, and also ...... a little bit cool and someone who loves me properly. What a ...... Ehehehe! 』

If she thinks about it, it's gonna be priceless!

Kuh-ha!

“......” (Blonde-haired saint)

“Hmm?　What's wrong with you for being red-faced and trembling” (Itsuki)

“Captain?　Maybe you were thinking about that!?　Isn't this man delusional!?” (One of sister)

“Eh, did I just blurt them out again?” (Itsuki)

“Yeah, we didn't have that idea!　I'm impressed!　Ne-san is cute!” (One of sister)

Why!?

Why do I have to say it out loud when I start getting delusional!

You're telling me I'm not even allowed to secretly fantasize about being a girl!

But I got a lot of praise from the other sisters.

Thank goodness. Don't let it get to her.

Well, I guess the person in question isn't so sure about that.

“...... You all are going to get smashed!”  (Blonde-haired saint)

“Nee-san is losing her nerve!　Everyone forms a defensive formation!” (One of sister)

“Yes!　Vice-Captain!” (remaining sisters)

Afterwards, the devastation of the room that was apparently used for this break was terrible.

The desk was broken, the chair was on the ground, and the sister had fallen over without a care in the world as she spread her legs and I was alone in the corner of the room, activating <Invisible Jail> and watching the blonde sister run amok and her unkempt appearance while escaping from danger.

In the meantime, Shiro manages to secure some snacks and continues to eat it happily.

“...... Lord. This is delicious!” (Shiro)

“I see. ...... Good for you” (Itsuki)

“Yup!” (Shiro)

This rampage continued until the blonde sister calmed down.

But when she found me unharmed, her face turned bright red again and she was about to jump at me, but Shiro stopped her and the scene was safely settled.

That's what I'm talking about, Shiro. I can count on you to be reliable at the last minute.

By the way, sister, the assistant captain, whose cloth was torn at the buttocks, had pure white underwear.

After all, it was pure white, just like the sisters.

Personally, I don't mind if she wears purple, adult black, pretty pink or light blue, even though she is a sister.

Animal prints and such are no problem if they're in this world, and it doesn't matter if you're not wearing a thong.

Phew.

Thanks for the feast!!
