Chapter 411 – Errand
I looked towards the source of the insults.
There, at a table, was a blonde, blue-eyed woman, her face flushed red, trembling as she held a wooden beer mug in one hand.
Her armor was similar to what the guards wore, white as a base, but with a light green sun emblem, giving it a more refined look.
Huh?
I feel like I’ve seen that armor somewhere before?
And that bow on her back, I’ve definitely seen that too.
That person is…
Just then, other women wearing the same armor, sitting at the same table, spoke to the blonde woman.
“Captain Lelia, please stop drinking. That’s your 20th mug already.”
“Yes, you’ve had too much today. You should return to the Cathedral.”
“Shut uuuuuuuuuup!!! Do you think I want to go back to that place where I have to see that damn Archdeacon’s face!”
“Damn… Even for you, Captain, that’s a bit much.”
“Shut up! You… you try it too! That shitty experience! It’s all because of that dungeon crawler or whatever!”
What did I do to deserve such resentful words?
I had to deliver the item, but I was curious, so I sat at a nearby table, ordered a juice, and listened to their conversation.
“What! How can they stop one of the world’s greatest disasters, the flood, in just a week! When we arrived, it was already over, and it was a festival atmosphere… We even rushed the kids to get here as fast as possible…”
“It was tough back then~ We even cut our sleep to 4 hours to push through.”
“And then what!? It’s already over, so sorry, but please go back!? Are you kidding me!”
“But that’s something to praise the dungeon crawler who ended the disaster quickly, not something to curse about.”
“I know! I know that! But… but after that…”
“Captain suggested we go sightseeing in the magic city since there was no point in going back.”
“I still don’t understand why you said that.”
“I told you! Since the deadline was already set for this long-term thing, there was no point in going back early! So I said, let’s go to the magic city so you guys can enjoy yourselves!”
“That’s just slacking off.”
“Call it flexibility! So, we arrived in the magic city, and that damn Archdeacon…!!!”
*Clench*
“Since we couldn’t properly support the flood, she told the Captain to participate in the Miss Solario photoshoot to follow the teachings of Sol and help increase the birth rate.”
“Do you know how humiliated I was!”
“But Captain, at first, you were happy, thinking you were going to become a star.”
“That was! That was because I didn’t know Miss Solario was that kind of magazine! Just by the name, you’d think it’s just a magazine with pretty pictures of beautiful women in pretty clothes!”
“Isn’t that right?”
“What’s pretty about it! It’s lewd and vulgar!”
“I think it’s pretty… Besides, lewd is good, isn’t it? It’s a huge help for the birth rate.”
“I hate the lewd atmosphere of the capital…!!!”
“People outside of Solario are kind of like Captain. Is this a cultural difference?”
“It’s a difference in common sense!”
Oh, it seems the overall atmosphere of Solario is very welcoming to anything lewd.
“Oh, right! The issue with Captain Lelia was especially well-received, so you did a second shoot last time!”
“……”
“It’s definitely because Captain Lelia made many men horny. You’re really amazing!”
“Come to think of it, what did you talk about with the Archdeacon when you visited the Cathedral today?”
“……She told me to leave.”
“What?”
“She asked if I would do a third shoot, that damn woman!!! She knows how much I hate it! Ughhhhh!!! If I appear in that kind of magazine, I’ll never get married!!!
Now… Now I’m 32, and I still… still don’t have a man in my life… What’s the point of getting promoted and suppressing aging… There’s no man who will accept me… *sniff*! There isn’t!!! *sob sob sob!!!*”
“Ah, she’s crying again.”
“Captain, you’ll find a good man.”
“I heard the same thing four years ago! *sob sob sob!!!* And you guys are already married before me!!!”
“Captain, you’ve had a few matchmaking offers.”
“They all fell through.”
“But… but… how can I marry a man who, from the very first compliment, only says things like I look like I’d give birth easily, I have childbearing hips, or my body is sexy!!!”
“Huh? Aren’t those the best compliments?”
“Is that the basic line for matchmaking?”
“I! Hate this country! What! What! What! I was told I had talent at 17, so I came here and focused on training, and after doing nothing but missions, I finally got a stable position as a knight captain… But when I look around, everyone’s common sense is weird!”
“Rather, we’re more surprised that Captain didn’t know the real atmosphere of Solario until four years ago.”
“Should we call it upright or dense?”
“Shut uuuuuup *sob sob sob!!!* If I overcame the flood, I had plans to settle down with a wonderful man who had overcome the hardships with me! But…!!!
I don’t even have that chance, and I’m even appearing in a magazine that shows my shame to the whole world…!!! It’s all because of that dungeon crawler or whatever!!! Die!! *sob sob sob!!!*”
“In the end, the dungeon crawler didn’t do anything wrong. We also avoided the possibility of dying while fighting monsters.”
“Rather, we should be grateful that they stopped the flood quickly. Besides, you wouldn’t have been able to find a man in the chaos of the flood, right?”
“This is an emotional issueeeeee!!! *sob sob sob!!!*”
…Hmm~ It doesn’t seem like it’s my fault, but listening to this story from the side makes me feel very sorry.
Moreover, I owe a great debt to Miss Solario’s Lelia Special Edition 1 and 2, so I felt even more so.
I want to apologize, but if I step forward in my current state, it will only provoke the drunk Lelia.
“I want to marry a wonderful mannnnnnn!!!! Where is my happy married lifeeeeee!!! *sob sob sob!!!!*”
It’s common knowledge that it’s a big problem to provoke a woman with spinster hysteria.
“Ah, it’s time for my son to finish kindergarten, so I’ll be going.”
“I have to go make lunch for my husband, so I’ll excuse myself. Drink moderately, Captain.”
“You… you traitooooorrrrrrsssss!!! *sob sob sob!!!*”
Perhaps they were used to Lelia’s drunken rants, the two armored women sitting nearby left the adventurer’s guild without hesitation.
“*Sniff*… *sniff*… everyone’s bad… *sniff*. I don’t need anything… *gulp gulp!*”
Once alone, Lelia sniffled and drank again.
It seems she’s the type to drink quietly alone when there’s no one to talk to.
It hurts my heart to watch any longer, so I got up and went to the reception desk.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes, what brings you here?”
“I’m here to deliver an item to the guild master as a request.”
“An item, you say?”
“Yes. From Puldun…”
As soon as I mentioned Puldun’s name, the receptionist clapped her hands and said,
“Ah, so you’ve finally arrived. Could you show me the item and the identification tag for confirmation?”
“Yes.”
I took out the crystal ball and the identification tag from my inventory.
“Y-you are…!”
The receptionist’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at my identification tag.
Then, she glanced at Lelia’s direction and bowed slightly, speaking softly.
“I-I’m sorry…”
I could roughly guess what she was apologizing for.
“No, it’s… I’m fine.”
“Thank you. I will take the item and deliver it to the guild master.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Um… It’s not my place to say, but she… she’s originally a very diligent and exemplary holy knight. It’s just that when she drinks, she becomes like that… She’s just releasing the stress she’s accumulated…”
“It can happen. It’s okay. Then, I’ll be going… Please take care.”
“Yes…”
And I immediately left the adventurer’s guild.
“*Hic*… everyone’s bad…”
Only Lelia’s sobbing voice remained in my ears as I left.
◈
After leaving the adventurer’s guild, I walked towards the Cathedral.
Honestly, I didn’t know the way, but when I asked someone who looked like a priest passing by, they kindly told me.
The streets of Sol felt quite different from other places.
The most distinctive feature is the high proportion of priests.
Many people are wearing the same light green-based priest robes with thigh slits as Elsie and Misha.
However, the difference is that the slits in the Sol priest robes are much deeper.
If the slits in Misha and Elsie’s priest robes are in the middle of the thigh, the slits in Sol’s priest robes start from the pelvic area.
Not only the thighs but also the bare skin of the pelvic line can be seen, making it a very good design for the lower body!
Judging from Lelia’s remarks and the priests’ attire, isn’t Solario a very open country about sex?
The priestess who guided me had a very kind feeling, not a lewd one.
The Solario priest robes she was wearing were lewd attire that exposed her thighs and pelvis!
But her attitude was that she didn’t recognize lewd things as lewd.
It felt like something you often see in a common sense-altering story.
If they are sexually open, wouldn’t they be open about sex?
For example, is the concept of a sex friend common here?
『That seems like a possibility.』
Really?
『It’s just my guess, but at least I don’t think it’s completely out of the question.』
…Let’s look forward to it a little!
Even if I don’t make a sex friend, just the existence and concept itself is a great help for my imagination!
And as the kind priest had told me, I was able to arrive at the Cathedral.
“Wow…”
The huge cathedral, made of a large white structure, was truly impressive.
It was a building that gave off a feeling of “Oh, it’s holy! It’s magnificent!” at a glance.
Inside the cathedral, various people, from adventurers to ordinary residents and priests, were coming and going.
I also went up the stairs and entered the cathedral.
As large as it was, the space and corridors inside the cathedral were also very large and wide.
The ceiling was very high, and the pillars supporting the ceiling were very large and long, with murals painted on them.
The floor of the cathedral was shiny like marble, and the floors of various colors were fitted together to create a picture.
The picture was roughly the light green sun, the symbol of faith in Sol.
The floor was so shiny, as if it was cleaned diligently every day…
The underwear of women wearing skirts was reflected as it was.
Is this also intentional?
I wandered around the cathedral, moving my feet with a sightseeing mindset.
“You are beautiful today as well. Your voluptuous body seems to be blessed by Sol.”
“Thank you. You look wonderful today as well. You seem to have a very good erection.”
“Hahaha, I had a big tent pitched this morning as well.”
“Your wife must be happy.”
“I am practicing the teachings of Sol every night.”
Most of the conversations between the priests inside the cathedral were like this.
I had only expected it as a joke, but I never thought such conversations would actually be happening.
I could understand a little why Lelia, who seemed to be from a different country than Solario, was complaining so much.
Apart from that, I personally think it’s very good that they are open!
I wandered around the cathedral a bit more, and after hearing that there was a chapel inside, I headed towards the chapel.
“Oh…”
As I entered the chapel, I felt that this was the chapel of the main branch.
The size was different from the chapel in Puldun, but the people sitting almost densely were quite a sight.
And the most shocking thing was the huge statue at the very end of the chapel.
A statue larger than any statue I had ever seen.
But it wasn’t just the size.
A giant Sol statue with a vivid texture.
And that statue… was colored!
I don’t know what kind of technique they used, but the Sol statue was painted using a transcendental coloring method that made it feel like real, vivid flesh.
To put it bluntly, the statue of Sol was a naked woman holding a staff.
That means… it was a huge, vivid nude female statue.
Moreover, since the size was so large, the details of the nipples, clitoris, and vagina were all reproduced with color!
With the colors, it was as if the Sol I see every night had suddenly become gigantic.
This is Solario…!!!
It feels like a different level from the chapel in Puldun.
『…I can make Rent more horny than that statue.』
Sol is jealous, how cute.
