Shiraishi Kawa was naturally aware of Darkness's strong masochistic tendencies. Although it was perverse, it was actually very bad.
Although her attitude of admitting mistakes was very sincere.
She failed to complete the assigned command and longed for punishment to alleviate her inner guilt. Her face was very serious, but her eyes... always felt a bit strange.
"..."
"He-here?!"
Darkness nervously turned her head to look at the Adventurers about a hundred meters behind her. If she took off her armor here, she would surely
definitely be seen!!
Does it really have to be like this?
She suddenly felt that what she had thought in her mind before was too simple. As expected of the captain she acknowledged, this kind of exhibitionist perverted game...
She absolutely loved it!
"Alright, it's only right to be punished for not completing the captain's arrangements."
Darkness could hear her heart beating violently. She imagined Shiraishi Kawa's gaze focusing on her chest, with Adventurers still behind her.
It was too stimulating!
"Are you... looking forward to it?"
Noticing Darkness's attitude, Shiraishi Kawa even suspected that this girl was a bit excited. Watching her take off her armor,
what she was wearing underneath was a black silky camisole.
What Darkness considered lewd, but from a normal male perspective, was an incredibly explosive figure, was now presented before him.
After all, he was taking her as a Hedonistic Chosen.
Even if he wanted to give himself benefits, he would have to find an inn. He chose to use the skill granted by his divine authority, placing his palm on her abdomen.
Pink light gradually seeped into her body.
"Ah!"
Having never had intimate contact with the opposite sex, especially feeling Shiraishi Kawa's fingers brush against her skin, Darkness tightly closed her eyes.
It was as if she had been electrocuted.
Her body trembled slightly. This was just the beginning of the punishment, and he was already touching her stomach. Was he going to strip off all her clothes in front of so many Adventurers next?
"..."
"Hmm?"
When Darkness was ready, she found that there was no further movement. She opened her eyes in confusion, as if asking,
Why didn't he continue?
Was this the only extent of the punishment?
Her tone became even more resolute, and she righteously said, "This time was just to subjugate a Demon Lord Army Executive. If we encounter more dangerous requests in the future,"
"So, to make me deeply understand my mistake, please punish me without holding back!"
Currently, there are 9 Hedonistic Chosen, having gained a 90% attribute increase.
Even if Darkness was a Follower of Eris, she wouldn't object to this level of punishment. Shiraishi Kawa's gaze swept over the still-eager female Knight.
He reminded her in a calm tone.
"First, look at your abdomen."
"What do you mean?"
The expected plot development did not occur. Darkness, with regret, checked her abdomen, gently lifting her black silky clothing.
The sight before her made her freeze.
Her originally fair and flat, even slightly muscular abdomen, now had a dark purple butterfly tattoo shimmering with pink light.
She gently touched it with her finger.
She could feel a strange sensation. So, the punishment Shiraishi Kawa spoke of was... using strange methods to brand her?
Most importantly... she naturally knew that this dark purple butterfly tattoo was an... erotic... tattoo!
It was just one time, and she had already been treated this way by Shiraishi Kawa. Darkness couldn't even imagine what would happen next.
She was very much looking forward to it, though.
In terms of appearance and personality, Shiraishi Kawa perfectly matched her fantasy of a marriage partner. If she had to point out a problem,
it would be... his overwhelming strength.
In that brief moment, she even had the thought of how wonderful it would be if Shiraishi Kawa were an Ordinary High School Student. She slightly controlled the upward curve of her lips.
"I can accept this. This is the punishment I deserve!"
"This is... well, it's pretty much what you think. To be precise, it's the mark of a Hedonistic Chosen, and you are no longer a Follower of the Eris Church."
After all, she was a Hedonistic Chosen.
No matter what, she had to pledge her loyalty. To prevent the number from becoming invalid, Shiraishi Kawa felt it was necessary to explain to Darkness in detail.
"Instead, you will become a Follower of my Church of Pleasure."
The church of the God of Pleasure was called the Church of Pleasure. Shiraishi Kawa thought it was quite reasonable. Noticing Darkness's stunned expression,
before other Adventurers came closer,
he explained, "Aqua probably hasn't told you about me. To be precise, I'm not what you think, a person reincarnated into another world."
"I won't disclose how I got here."
"You can understand that I came to Darkness's world to find suitable seeds to join my Church of Pleasure."
Silently listening to Shiraishi Kawa's words, Darkness's expression was unexpectedly calm a moment later. She actively inquired.
"This... Is this forcibly stripping me of my faith?"
"I guess so."
"Our Darkness family has always been Followers of the Eris Church, but now... Now I choose to betray Lady Eris, who has cast her gaze upon me."
"Betraying the church, betraying my faith..."
"A person like me should be spurned, but I am willing to bear it!"
Darkness's tone kept getting heavier, but it didn't sound serious at all. In the end, she looked at Shiraishi Kawa, her expression slightly shy.
If this were some anime.
Her eyes should have hearts in them at this moment, and she would excitedly ask: "So, what exactly does it take to be a qualified Hedonistic Chosen?"
"It's simple."
It was hard to imagine Darkness's current mental state. Shiraishi Kawa lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Offer me your body, mind, and faith."
"And then offer your complete loyalty!"
"Okay!"
"So, is it now?"
It couldn't be said that she was influenced by the identity of the Hedonistic Chosen. To be precise, her threshold was infinitely raised, and Darkness was very curious.
Since she was going to offer her body, mind, and faith.
If it were under these circumstances, she felt that it definitely wouldn't work. If it were Shiraishi Kawa as a god, she really wanted to experience this feeling.
She could endure it!
"I won't be leaving this world for a short time. Since Darkness really wants to offer everything, then let's book a hotel room for tonight."
"I will."
Even the cost of the room had to be paid by herself, but Darkness didn't have any objections. She even began to look forward to what would happen tonight.
"On behalf of our Adventurers' Guild, I extend to you the highest respect. If it weren't for Shiraishi Kawa-sama, the entire Axel city."
"Would have been slaughtered by the Demon Lord Army Executive, Headless Knight."
Luna, the poster girl of the Adventurers' Guild, had a smile on her face. She never thought that this problem, which had troubled countless Adventurers.
Would be solved by an unknown newcomer.
She took the reward tray that the Adventurers' Guild had prepared in advance and reluctantly handed it to Shiraishi Kawa. Luna continued, "This is the reward for defeating the Demon Lord Army Executive. It's a total of two hundred million Eris."
"You don't have to worry about the post-battle cleanup. Many Adventurers and residents, after hearing about your deeds, are actively repairing the roads."
"Thank you."
Taking the heavy tray full of rewards, the Konosuba World gave him a good experience. There wasn't so much infighting.
It was more about lighthearted silliness.
The group chat broadcast earned 45 points. He received a total of two hundred million Eris, and the Adventurers and residents helped with the cleanup. The overall harvest.
Was indeed quite good.
The relatively scarce reputation +1. As long as he maxed out the God profession, he could give the profession breakthrough to the new profession that hadn't arrived yet.
Shiraishi Kawa glanced over the teammates and passersby Adventurers gathered at the Adventurers' Guild at this moment. He naturally didn't mind and said with a smile.
"Let's go to the Cat's Tail Tavern tonight. It's on me."
Then.
The atmosphere suddenly ignited for some reason, and even Aqua began to perform her best banquet skill, Flower, Bird, Wind, and Moon.
Towards Konosuba World.
Shiraishi Kawa still had a good impression. He glanced at Luna, the poster girl beside him, and took advantage of the fact that he had just defeated the Demon Lord Army Executive today.
He asked with a smile, "Luna-nee-san, I would like to ask if the guild has any extra Adventurer registration tools for sale?"
"Yes, we do."
Although she was a little confused by Shiraishi Kawa's question, after all, he was the hero who saved Axel. Luna explained with a smile.
Ordinary Adventurer registration and appraisal only cost 50,000 Eris.
No one would ever think of buying such a tool.
The price was too expensive, requiring a full 100 million Eris. The most important thing was that the registration information had to be entered into the Adventurers' Guild.
To officially start receiving requests.
Even if Shiraishi Kawa used a magical device to appraise the ability values of ordinary people, they would still need to pay a fee to become normal Adventurers.
To be considered a true Adventurer.
"The price is relatively expensive, and the only use for buying it is for collection. It requires 100 million Eris. Shiraishi Kawa-sama, do you really need it?"
"Of course."
This kind of ability appraisal instrument could only be collected in Konosuba World, but whether it was brought back to reality or Apocalypse World, it would be very useful.
It could help many people awaken their ability values.
The premise was to become a Hedonistic Chosen. If he only treated them as tools to improve his strength, then there was no need to go to this extent.
But whether it was Miura Yumiko, Marikawa Shizuka, or the others... They were all Shiraishi Kawa's wings. An important foundation for building the future Crystal Palace. Moreover, they were his Followers. Spending 100 million Eris.
He thought it was quite worth it.
Shiraishi Kawa said with a smile, "Then please help me pack one, Luna-nee-san. As for the purchase fee, just deduct it from the reward."
"This is what I should do."
No one disliked being called 'nee-san', especially when the other person was a powerful Adventurer and also particularly handsome.
Luna, who was already an older sister, certainly wouldn't mind. She nodded with a smile.
Watching Luna leave, Aqua, who had finished performing the Flower, Bird, Wind, and Moon banquet skill, mysteriously approached, having heard the conversation just now.
She asked with a curious face, "Shiraishi Kawa, why do you want to buy a magical device?"
"For collection."
"Oh, it does look quite exquisite."
Aqua didn't think about it in other ways, and her current focus wasn't on this at all. Most of the reward had already been taken away by Luna.
Rubbing her hands.
She looked expectant, after all, she had also attracted the undead knights and given blessing skills during the fight against the Demon Lord Army Executive.
She should have contributed, right?
"Shiraishi Kawa, if we're a team, shouldn't the reward be split equally? I already owe 100,000 Eris to the Cat's Tail Tavern."
"No problem."
Shiraishi Kawa certainly wouldn't be stingy with the members of his team. He would still need to find Crimson Demons craftsmen to forge a satisfactory staff later.
This was a necessary expense.
He looked at Aqua and said in a relaxed tone, "The team needs to update its equipment and rent a house to settle down. 3 million Eris for each member."
"No objections, right?"
"None!"
Knowing that Shiraishi Kawa wasn't the type to be easily fooled, Aqua was actually very satisfied to be able to get 3 million Eris.
Even the most expensive sparkling wine.
Could still buy a hundred bottles!
Shiraishi Kawa really found it hard to evaluate the goddess full of wisdom. Taking the opportunity, he reminded, "Also, can you change your skirt?"
"This is the goddess's raiment!"
"Now."
Lacking a concept of some things, Aqua keenly captured the emotions involved and smiled teasingly.
"Shiraishi Kawa, you wouldn't be attracted to my appearance and identity, would you?"
"Seeing as you defeated the Demon Lord Army Executive today, I, as the great goddess, will fulfill some requests from my admirer."
As the goddess's raiment.
She could naturally control its length. With Aqua's manipulation, the original length, which only reached the base of her thighs and vaguely showed her bare buttocks.
Instantly lengthened a lot.
Covering her very luscious figure. After finishing, she clapped her hands and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Let's go have a banquet now!"
"There's one more thing."
"Give me the skill to summon your weapon."
He definitely had to thoroughly fleece the sheep. He would need to forge a special staff later, and he couldn't possibly carry it with him every time he went to another world.
And Aqua's skill to summon a staff.
Now that he had the opportunity, Shiraishi Kawa definitely had to learn it. It would be much more convenient for him to go to other worlds later. Aqua, who was in a hurry to eat.
Wasn't impatient either.
After explaining how to use the skill and demonstrating it again, the proficiency panel quickly gave feedback, and a prompt appeared before Shiraishi Kawa's eyes.
Detected that there is currently a skill Weapon Storage available for learning. Learn it?
"Yes."
As Aqua left, and Darkness went home to change clothes, the one who chose to stand beside Shiraishi Kawa was the one who had been harshly criticized by the Headless Knight.
The slightly foolish mage, Megumin.
When alone, Megumin seemed a little shy. She held the hem of her skirt and said, "That... It's okay if you don't give it to me."
"The Headless Knight suddenly came to Axel because of me."
"If I don't give you money, how will you eat in the future?"
Reaching out to touch Megumin's head, Shiraishi Kawa didn't give her a chance to refuse. If they went to other worlds later, there would be more things to handle.
How could he possibly deliver food to her every day?
Megumin, with her head lowered, watched Shiraishi Kawa leave. She was just a little fiery in personality, how could she not even feel emotions?
Her tender, fair cheeks flushed red.
She felt a particularly inexplicable feeling, but after thinking about it carefully, she just didn't dislike it!
Darkness didn't attend the banquet. When she found Shiraishi Kawa again, the image presented before his eyes surprised him a little.
To be precise... This was the appearance that Lalatina should have as a young lady. She wore a white noble long dress, and her figure, which had been hidden by armor.
Was now perfectly presented before Shiraishi Kawa.
Her golden hair was braided and hung on the left side of her body. She didn't have the usual hidden masochistic pervert feeling, but was proper and generous.
But before Shiraishi Kawa could finish imagining, she returned to her original state.
"..."
"Please don't look at me with that kind of gaze."
She could clearly feel Shiraishi Kawa looking her up and down with a particularly lewd gaze, and Darkness couldn't control the excitement deep inside her.
Her face flushed red.
She said it was a request, but in reality, she wanted to be treated more violently.
"The room, I've already... booked it. Should we... should we leave now? Shiraishi Kawa, you don't have to worry, I'm already mentally prepared."
"To offer everything... to the god of my faith!"
"Mm."
By the time the banquet ended, it was almost midnight. The streets of Axel were devoid of Adventurers, and even Megumin and Aqua were drunk.
There was still plenty of time.
As for the location... Shiraishi Kawa briefly surveyed his surroundings. In the distance stood the church of Eris. An occasional breeze rustled Darkness's skirt.
"I don't think there's any need to go to an inn, is there?"
"..."
Darkness quickly understood Shiraishi Kawa's idea. She glanced around, but found no other passersby.
Her first experience would be exhibitionism.
Feeling her body stir, she nodded softly, "In... an alley would be fine too!"
"No, it wouldn't."
"Look."
Medieval alleys lacked drainage systems, and Shiraishi Kawa found the environment unbearable. He pointed ahead and said with a smile, "The Eris church up ahead, isn't it quite spacious?"
