## Chapter 829 – Winter in the Capital
I guess I should let her know since she wants to express her gratitude.
“So, when are you thinking of meeting?”
“I think it would be good to just pass on the message first. We can decide on a time after that.”
“Yes.”
It’s not like my schedule is completely open.
I need to let Karin know when I get home. The Saintess of the Order wants to express her gratitude, so she should see her.
“Ah, and… a Paladin has a total of seven wives, right?”
Just as I was about to leave, the Saintess brought that up again.
“Yes. I told you last time.”
I answered cautiously, but there was no particular reaction.
I guess this issue was resolved when we talked at the restaurant back then. I got scolded a bit at the time… but it’s been several days since I drank. She probably won’t reprimand me about this anymore.
In other words, it’s a closed matter.
“I heard that you received help from others besides that Karin Vestatt woman this time… No, let’s think about that later. First, we need to thank her first.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll be on my way. I’ll see you next time.”
After saying goodbye, I left the Grand Temple.
But help… Officially, it was written that I received help from Karin, but in reality, it was an eight-person raid.
I can’t talk about Hilde, Ari, or Risha.
Hilde is my cute wife now, but she was originally a demon—a succubus, the Order’s main enemy. I can never reveal her identity. And Ari is an Alraune, so fundamentally, it’s the same.
Of course, Ari didn’t really help this time because she hasn’t fully awakened her powers yet, but anyway, Ari’s identity is also a secret.
Risha is a black magician.
The fact that she’s a black magician isn’t a problem in itself, but if a Paladin is seen hanging out with a black magician, it can’t be viewed favorably. That’s just how people perceive it.
So, there’s nothing really worth announcing.
So, Karin is the best to mention. She’s a former Royal Knight. She has some reputation. Winia is from the Bellatude Marquis family. Liz is also from a noble family, so there’s no problem with their status.
But Claudia’s status is a bit unclear.
There’s no problem, but she’s a half-elf from the desert.
“…”
Anyway, I took the ark and the Holy Grail and went home.
* * *
Arriving at the front door of the house, I put the Holy Grail down next to me and grabbed the doorknob. With Hilde, a succubus, in the house, I can’t just bring something like this in. Holy water is deadly to demons.
It’s a really dangerous object.
Even though Hilde is an angel, her race is succubus, so I need to check if it’s okay before bringing it in.
—Creak.
I carefully turned the doorknob and entered the house. It was still early in the morning, so there was no sign of anyone in the living room. Only the sound was coming from the basement.
“Hilde!”
I called Hilde’s name briefly once.
“Katt-nim!!!!! Are you here!!!”
—Flutter!
Then, with the sound of wings fluttering, Hilde’s voice came from the basement stairs. —Flap flap! Watching her, Hilde was flying like a bat.
She comes right away when I call.
Looking at her, she was wearing skimpy lingerie and had returned to succubus mode. Demonic wings and tail. And the horns on her head. It was very fatal, but the way she was smiling and flying towards me felt like a large dog, so she was incredibly cute.
“No, why do you come running as soon as I call?”
“I missed you so much!!”
—Thud!
I caught Hilde as she flew in and hugged her. Hilde rubbed her face against my chest as if burrowing into my arms and said.
“If Katt-nim calls, I’ll fly over anytime… Huh? Katt-nim? Something is a bit… I should say, creepy, what is this feeling!!!”
With those words, Hilde took her face off my chest and looked around like a wary beast. As expected, a demon is a demon.
She can sense the presence of the holy water outside the door.
Come to think of it, Hilde was a very cautious woman. Of course, she would react sensitively to something like this. Above all, that’s… the highest quality holy water contained in a Holy Grail made directly by the Brass Celestial Society.
It could be dangerous for Hilde just by its presence.
But it seems to be okay as long as it’s outside the door. Let’s inform her of its presence first, then evacuate Hilde and bring it to a safe place.
“That’s the thing, Hilde. I got holy water from the church, you know?”
“Heok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Hilde, startled, grabbed her head and widened her eyes.
“To receive such an inhuman thing…!!!”
What’s inhuman about it?
“No, it’s not inhuman. It’s extremely human.”
“Ah. That’s right. I was mistaken for a moment. Ehehe.”
Hilde nodded, smiling awkwardly.
“Certainly, holy water is not an inhuman thing. It’s just harmful to me, so I said it habitually.”
“Hehehe, no. Let’s just say it’s inhuman.”
“Ah!”
I can just say it’s an inhuman thing since Hilde is reacting like this.
“Anyway, Hilde. So, I left it outside for now? It could hurt you if I bring it in carelessly.”
“Oh my!!!”
So, I was about to tell her to go up to a safe place for a while, but suddenly Hilde had a very happy expression and clung to me.
“Are you worried about me getting hurt!!! I love you, Katt-nim!!!!”
“Hey, hey. Calm down first.”
“I can’t calm down!!!”
—Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
Then, she hugged my neck and showered my face with kisses. I hugged her waist and came into the house. After that, I let her kiss me until she calmed down.
“Haa… Katt-nim. I can’t stand it anymore. I’m already horny… Look, here. It’s crying again because I’m thinking of Katt-nim…”
“Wow.”
—Buzzing.
Looking at it, Hilde’s womb tattoo was glowing pink.
“But what’s the effect of this?”
I don’t know even if I look at it.
“That, the one you saw last time.”
“Sacred barrier?”
The power of the womb.
“Yes! Ah, but I think there’s something more, but honestly, I don’t really know. Just that it glows like this when I think of Katt-nim? Anyway, hurry up. Should we go to the bathroom?”
“No, wait. I need to finish organizing my things first.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Then wait upstairs for a while. I need to bring in the holy water.”
“Hmm… Is it really necessary to go up? Still, I think it’s okay to watch with this feeling.”
—Flash!
In an instant, Hilde flew to the back of the sofa.
“I’ll hide here and watch, so please bring it in quickly!”
“What are you talking about? Go up quickly. You’ll get hurt.”
She’ll get hurt for nothing.
“No, I won’t get hurt just by watching. And you said it’s right outside the door, so with this feeling… it’s okay. I want to see it too.”
“Our Hilde, stop being stubborn and let’s go up quickly. I’m really worried you’ll get hurt.”
“If Katt-nim keeps worrying about me like that, I’ll masturbate here!!”
“Crazy shit. Okay, okay. I’ll bring it in. But be careful.”
“Yes!”
Really, our Hilde has gotten into some bad habits.
So, I grabbed the Holy Grail that I had left in front of the door, brought it into the house, and put it on the floor. —Slosh slosh. The holy water in the crystal bottle shook, emitting a brilliant light.
Certainly, the cursed Kobold Queen melted just by seeing the light of the holy water… Hilde says she’s okay, so I’ll believe her, but it’s still a bit dangerous.
“Hilde, I brought it in. Be careful.”
“Yes…!”
—Peek.
Hilde slowly started to raise her head. First, her horns appeared from behind the sofa, then her dark blue hair. And finally, Hilde’s ears and eyes were visible. Hilde acted like a soldier deployed in an area where enemy snipers were stationed.
Finally, Hilde saw the Holy Grail.
“Aah…! Such a brilliant light…! But I’m overcoming it with the power of my love!”
Hilde spread her palms and covered her eyes with the back of her hands, making a painful expression. I immediately picked up the carpet next to me and covered the Holy Grail.
“What, are you okay?”
“My skin is a bit tingly, but it seems okay because it’s well-preserved. As far as I know, the better the holy water, the better the container used to prevent the power from escaping, so it’s properly stored. So, it’ll be okay as long as it’s inside there.”
“You seem to know more than I do.”
I’m a Paladin.
“Still, it might be a bit fatal if I see it directly when it’s poured out. Anyway, it’s a dangerous object for me! Inhuman! No! Un-demonic thing!”
“Okay. I understand. But if I eat this, will it affect you too?”
What happens if a Paladin who drinks holy water has sex with a succubus?
“I don’t know about that… No way! Are you going to drink that!”
“It’s good for your health.”
“Of course, you should drink it then. Nothing is more important than Katt-nim’s health.”
Anyway, I should show it to Risha. She’s working in the basement right now, so it’s a bit much to just take it down there, so I’ll put it somewhere else and ask her when she comes up later.
“Then, Hilde. I’m going to put this in the equipment storage, so don’t go in there. Okay?”
“Yes! I’ll never go in there! Then please take off your clothes now!”
“I’ll do it later, later.”
“Hing.”
I need to talk to Karin first.
I immediately released my equipment, took off all my clothes, and changed into the shorts I had thrown on the sofa.
Being shirtless and wearing shorts is the rule at home.
“Really, Katt-nim…! You always dress so lewdly at home! Who are you trying to seduce!! That’s why I can’t help but get horny all the time!!”
Hilde, wearing skimpy lingerie, twisted her thighs and pointed at me with a reddened face.
Seeing her like that makes me laugh.
“Hehehe, no. What are you even saying? Your outfit is more seductive right now. Anyway, wait. I’ll go upstairs and come back.”
“Yes! Ah, is there anything you want me to get?”
“Get me the high heels.”
“You really like high heels too much.”
Is there anyone who doesn’t like them?
Anyway, I immediately went up to the second-floor bedroom and opened the door. Looking at it, Claudia, Karin, and Liz were sleeping close together. Seeing that Winia wasn’t there, she must be in the basement.
I gently stroked Karin’s butt on the far right, trying to wake her up.
“Sis. Can you wake up now?”
“…”
Karin, lying on her side, was just sleeping with a peaceful face. A playful mood struck me, so I gently patted her butt.
—Slap, slap.
—Slap, slap.
—Slap.
“Sis.”
Patting this firm butt is addictive because it sticks to my hand. It feels quite different from Risha’s soft flesh.
I patted it while grabbing it once in a while, squeezing and kneading it.
“Ugh… what?”
“Are you awake?”
Then Karin barely opened her eyes and muttered in a sleepy voice. She looks very tired. She was tormented by me until dawn yesterday… She can’t help but wake up during the day.
“Why… Did you want to play with sis’s pussy? Sis is tired… If you’re going to do it, do it later in the day, in the day. I’ll let you do it then…”
“No, it’s not that.”
I would do it if she let me do it during the day.
“Sis. The Saintess said she wants to thank you and see you sometime.”
“…What?”
Karin’s eyes widened a little more.
“I put sis’s name on the report. She wants to thank you because of that. It was a big deal. And I went today and received the reward money and prizes.”
“Ah… I see, she wants to see me… I understand. Talk to me later… Let sis sleep a little more.”
“Okay, okay.”
“I’m getting excited, so stop touching my butt…”
“Okay.”
I immediately took my hand off Karin’s butt and gently stroked her face with my other hand, and she soon fell asleep again. She must be really tired.
—Rustle.
Claudia and Liz must have tossed and turned for a moment, and they were already sleeping while hugging each other. Seeing that, there’s no way I wouldn’t get an erection. I immediately went downstairs to Hilde.
