"Oh my... there are so many people in Ladia..." The wide square in front of the lord's city.
From the VIP seats prepared by the lord, he exclaimed, looking at the crowd gathered in the square.
Was it because of the view from the VIP seats set up behind the high platform? It looked like there were easily over ten thousand people.
So many people came to see the Saintess... Hmm, I feel a little intimidated. "...Then, allow me to introduce the Saintess of the Cult of Goddess who has come to Ladia!"
As the lord finished his brief introduction of Claire on the high platform and extended his hand to the right, Claire walked out from the temporary building on the right.
...Good heavens.
Claire's Saintess robes... Claire, who always said she was waiting for Leona to return and only wore those few simple casual clothes... but look at her now...
"Hehe
♡Master. How is it? Do you like it?"
Need I say?
Good heavens, what is that? What should have been a magnificent, slightly somber, pure white saintly robe covering the entire body—how had it turned into this?
Oh my god… Although it wasn't clear how it was divided, the upper body consisted of an uncovered gown and separate sleeves.
The upper body, devoid of a gown, was only covered by a scarf draped in two sections… starting from below the chest where the gown began… the scarf was just casually draped over her shoulders.
The scarf, divided into two sections, barely covered Claire's terrifyingly large breasts down to just below her nipples… that was its shape. Good heavens, wasn't she even wearing a bra? And what were those things hanging from the ends of the scarf? Horseshoes, right? Originally, it should have been something like a cross… When did they even prepare something like that?
Furthermore, the skirt, which used to cover her entire legs and flow gracefully, was now shortened to the point where her buttocks and underwear were vaguely visible with every movement.
If it weren't for the long fabric hanging down in front and back... no, it was precisely because of that fabric that Claire's legs, clad in stockings, looked even sexier!
Claire, walking towards me in that outfit, her high heels clicking away... she was practically my own perfect saintess.
Secretly, I thought to myself, 'After all, she's a saintess; isn't too much exposure inappropriate?'... Strange?
That modified saintess outfit, while shockingly revealing, actually looked quite authentic at first glance because of the fabric's design and decorations!
Both sexy and retaining the saintess's aura!
I give our Leona a perfect score! "...Citizens of Ladia..." Just as I was internally applauding Leona, Claire's speech, a blend of sexiness and holiness, began.
......
"How did you find it, Master? Were you satisfied?"
After Claire's speech,
as the crowd gathered in the square gradually dispersed and the area began to be tidied up, I entered the temporary building where Claire was.
As soon as Lisbeth and I entered, Kleia, dressed in her saintly attire, rushed forward as if she had been waiting, asking for my impressions.
"Pfft. Very good. Excellent. As expected of my female."
"What a heart-pounding speech, Kleia.
♡" After praising Kleia like this with Lisbeth, my hand reached towards the pair of ample breasts inside her scarf, which seemed to be tempting me. If we skip the greetings and summarize the speech directly, although it said, 'The world is dangerous, and it's better to focus on adventurer activities with me, the Divine Beast, than to act as a saintess'...
But between the lines of that speech, Kleia's words subtly hinted that she was already my female, the Divine Beast.
The oblivious would find it a bit strange... while the perceptive would wonder, 'Could the saintess be the Divine Beast'...?' It was a speech akin to a confession.
It was practically a speech declaring that Saintess Claire was the female of the divine beast Semo. Of course, she was satisfied.
"Hehehe. Speech aside, this saintess robe is really… Didn't the Church say anything?"
"Hehe. A few talkative people did say a few things, but that's all. Apart from the Pope, who, as the highest-ranking member of the Goddess Church, would dare to say anything?"
That's true. After all, this saintess robe was originally intended for adventuring.
The saintess herself said, 'I'm going on an adventure, so I'm going to modify the saintess robe~', so who would dare to object?
This design 100% reflects my personal preferences. To the clergy, it might seem overly revealing… but even so, no one would dare say it directly to the saintess's face.
Strangely enough, although the level of exposure is lower than Lisbeth's, seeing the originally dignified saintess robe transformed like this actually has a different charm than Lisbeth's, making one want to take action? "…Ah."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" "…Hehe. Nothing." Suddenly, Kleia opened her eyes, trembling. I thought I had frightened her by holding on too tightly…but instead, she gripped my hand even tighter against her chest.
…? What's going on? Kleia's reaction…
"Saint Kleia. The dress you should wear to the banquet…"
…Ugh. Who…!? "…!? God, Divine Beast Lord!? Kleia!? Where is this…!"
"Oh dear. Don't be alarmed, Sister Angela." The sudden intrusion of the nun startled me. I tried to quickly pull my hand away from Kleia's chest…but she gripped my hand even tighter, giving me a "it's alright" smile.
"K-Krea! How could a saintess...! In a place like this with a foreign man..."
"Not a foreign man, but my master. Didn't I tell you?" Ugh... What is Krea thinking...? That nun...
Judging from her face, she should be around the same age as Lianna or Celestia...
As an Esendia woman, she is indeed a beauty and looks quite young... But now I'm gradually able to distinguish the facial features of Esendia women, so I'm sure I'm right.
So she's a highly experienced nun... To let her see this scene. What do you want...?
"My master said he wanted to touch my breasts, so I let him touch them. Is there a problem with that?"
"B-Of course there's a problem! Ahh... Krea... what are you thinking...!" Looking at this mature young woman with her eyes covered and her face flushed, she actually seems quite cute.
No, this isn't the time to think about that.
Is this really alright?
Even a saint would be in trouble if caught engaging in such lewd behavior in public...?
"I told you, didn't I, Sister Angela? This Lord Semo is my master, so all the nuns of the Church of Radhi treat him as someone more venerable than myself."
"I...I thought that was just a metaphor...Ah, no! Even so, this is...!"
"Hehe...
♡Sister Angela." Sisters Angela and Claire, who had unknowingly forgotten to use honorifics and addressed each other by their first names, approached Angela, who was still blindfolded, and gently stroked her cheek, whispering softly.
"I have a party to attend today… I'll explain later."
♡
"K-Krea…you…"
"You'll understand when you hear the explanation."
♡
After stroking Angela's cheek, Kreaa turned and walked towards me again… uttering a cheerful sentence in a barely audible voice, almost unheard by Angela.
"Because that female body will understand."
♡
...... Afterwards, Angela remained flustered, but I lowered my head and pretended it was just a mistake, vaguely explaining, and she reluctantly nodded, letting it go.
Of course, I emphasized to Kreaa that I must explain properly…but since Kreaa entrusted this to her, I could only trust her.
My reputation among the Ladia nuns wasn't great to begin with; my involvement would only worsen my image.
But what was Kreaa thinking…could she be encouraging me to sleep with that woman named Angela too? "Master. Thinking about that nun from earlier?"
"Uh... what exactly is Claire planning to do..." Inside the spacious banquet hall prepared within the lord's city.
Lisbeth stood there, wearing a slightly unusual miniature bikini and a glamorous coat like those worn by Hollywood stars.
Before me stood Claire, eyes closed, conversing with the nobles who came to greet me.
As expected of the star of the day, the nobles flocked to Claire as soon as the party began.
They all came forward to greet Claire... Oh dear, do I have to deal with all of them?
"Hehe ♡ Leave that to Claire, Master. Those nobles will come to you immediately after they finish speaking with Claire, so please focus on dealing with them."
"...You didn't already know, Lisbeth, did you?"
"Ah! They're coming. Master."
Tsk, Lisbeth. So you already knew...! After giving Lisbeth a reproachful glare as she looked away, I began to deal with the nobles approaching me.
These nobles, who called themselves barons and viscounts, gave me almost flawless smiles.
Hmm… typical nobles. I'm practically going crazy trying to control my facial expressions.
If I had a human face instead of a horse's head, my annoyance would have been obvious by now. About half the nobles seemed uninterested in me, exchanging only brief pleasantries… but those nobles who ran businesses related to adventurers or entertainment showed considerable interest, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to expand their network.
Remembering these people might be helpful for future business dealings or adventures… but I can't remember who's who right now.
Feeling exhausted after dealing with the nobles for so long, and just as I was thinking of going home, the crowd finally dispersed, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this the time to eat what we want and chat casually...?
"Thank you for your hard work, Master."
"Master, you've worked hard~ I feel like all these are just meaningless words."
Yeah, I mean. If only there were some more uplifting suggestions or topics.
...Could it be because of my appearance? The noble uncles?
"Mr. Shimo, did you have fun?"
After catching our breath, my females and I were raising our champagne glasses in a toast... The lord, Celestia, and a woman we were meeting for the first time approached.
Hair color exactly like Celestia's, and that mean face... Could it be...?
"Hello, Lord. I just finished greeting the nobles."
"Haha. You must be exhausted. But after this greeting, there will definitely be times when you can help me."
Well... I feel like I'll never see those people again... Well, it doesn't matter whether I see them again or not... But not for us Celestia, right?
Hello, Celestia?
"Countess Celestia. How have you been?" "…Yes. I'm fine."
Is that so? You're doing well, Celestia? Yes. Thank goodness. You're in for a rough time starting today.
I can already picture you trembling! "…And this is…" I chuckled inwardly at Celestia's wrinkled face, following the woman's blank gaze to the lord.
She looks quite young…probably seventeen or eighteen, or early twenty…
"Ah. I'm late with the introduction. This is my daughter, Cecilia."
So, she's a daughter after all.
She's had a child at such a young age, Celestia? Hmm… the same temperament and hair color as her mother, and a face even more striking than her mother's—quite alluring… Although she looks like the type who might bully boys, a beauty is a beauty after all, and that's part of her charm, right?
Unfortunately… she didn't inherit her breasts.
What a pity.
…No, it's that Ceresia's breasts are too exaggerated. In terms of size alone, hers are a perfectly moderate size, just the right size to fit in one hand.
She actually thinks that's small… Ugh, since coming to Esendia, I can't judge a woman's breast size properly anymore!
"Hello. Miss Cecilia?" "…Hey. Cecilia. Shouldn't you say hello?" "…" …What's going on?
That Cecilia… Why are you just staring at me like that...? Are you infatuated with me?
Oh, the charm of my head is truly... "...You're disgusting. This monster." "...What did you say, you bitch?" Faced with that sharp, direct question aimed straight at my head, I ultimately couldn't filter my words and blurted them out.
