Chapter 558 – 558. Stairs in the Middle (1)
It was late in the morning when Eunhyeon left Siete’s room.
“Whoa…”
Perhaps thanks to her drunkenness, Eun-hyeon confided in her feelings to the student she hadn’t seen in a long time and laid the sleeping master on the bed as she left the room, exhaling with a tired expression on her face.
One of Siete’s bad habits, which he thought he would never experience again, was his master’s drunkenness, which exhausted him by repeating the same words dozens of times for three hours.
As she becomes Siete’s apprentice, she spends most of her time waiting on her, other than sword training.
Among the reasons for Eun-hyeon’s overflowing family life force, the biggest part was Siete, who had no talent for housework comparable to that of Illyana.
Eun-hyeon barely left her room after accepting all of her teacher’s advice and putting her to sleep, then immediately moved on to her steps.
This lodging building is a high-class lodging facility that mainly treats distinguished guests visiting Mograf.
Although it is true that the exterior and the quality of the services provided are significantly lower than the Brodia Casino Hotel, which runs the edge of luxury seen in the Duchy of Saviros in the Kingdom of Lendir, it is still on par with the mansion of Count Mograf, the owner of this territory. I could never say that the quality was bad.
In the first place, this outskirts of the frontier is not often visited by high-ranking nobles of such a high status, and as it is flooded with merchants and travelers crossing the border, even if the quality is slightly lowered, all of them can be accommodated. It is also beneficial for Yeongji to take measures to ensure that it is possible.
In the first place, in the current situation of the Mograf Territory, where manpower itself is severely lacking, it was unreasonable to ask for anything more than this as the operation of this inn also remained with minimal manpower.
“I had no intention of asking for anything in the first place.”
Eunhyeon and Eleanor didn’t come to the Mograf region to show off something extravagant or to enjoy affluence, so they didn’t have much dissatisfaction with the inn’s management.
Squeak
The mental fatigue I felt after a long time due to the master’s drunkenness made my heart very tired, but also evoked nostalgia, and various and complicated thoughts intersected.
When Jin Eun-hyeon, bothered to think about anything else, opened the door, Eleanor greeted Eun-hyeon in her room.
“Are you here?”
“… Weren’t you sleeping?”
The time now is about 3:00 in the morning, which is usually the time when everyone is asleep.
Eunhyun made a surprised expression when she saw Eleanor sitting on the bed without falling asleep first.
“I was waiting for you.”
Eleanor, who was waiting for Eun-hyeon to come wearing a negligee, stood up and helped Eun-hyeon take off her outerwear to change her clothes.
“How was your meeting with Siete-sama?”
“I was surprised… It was nice. And I was happy. I was relieved.”
In response to Eleanor’s questions, which she asked curiously with a smile on her face, she answered them one by one, putting into her mouth the feelings she had met while reuniting with Eunhyeon and herself.
“And… I am a little tired.”
The start was amazing, but the end was Siete’s embarrassing insolence that could neither be explained nor shown to others.
Erin’s mistake was unavoidable, but after that, she was put in a situation where she had to deal with the storm, so she felt slightly unfair.
“… You worked hard.”
Eleanor listened to Eunhyun’s explanation and understood her circumstances.
Although she couldn’t anticipate how Siete scolded her, she rather knew about the happening between Erin and Siete before Eunhyeon did, so when Siete heard Erin say that, she simply I didn’t think it would have passed.
“Thank you. Eleanor. Thank you for being considerate of Master and moving right away.”
“Whoops. It’s a natural thing.”
Eleanor, who slept with Eun-hyeon’s arm lying on the bed, buried her face in his upper body and looked up at Eun-hyeon.
“If you’re happy, I’m happy with that.”
“… Okay.”
In response to her wife’s expression of affection, Eunhyeon nodded her head and hugged Eleanor tightly.
◆ ◆ ◆
The next morning.
The two people, who woke up early at the same time as the sun rose, had to move diligently.
Immediately after repairing the damaged interior and exterior of the manor and checking the progress of the reconstruction work of the castle wall, after a regular meeting with Count Mograf, who talked a lot about the management of the manor, the two couples headed to Vesta in Mograf territory. It is a temple
“Uh, welcome… High priest Eleanor.”
The bishop, the top manager in charge of managing this temple, came out to meet Eunhyeon and Eleanor with a slightly nervous expression.
The reason why the temple’s chief administrator and her supervisor, the bishop, is embarrassed by Eleanor and swallows her drool is, of course, due to the various positions she holds.
While holding the same high-ranking priesthood as herself, she is quite young, and has many other rumors and nicknames, such as the daughter of the Duke of Armitas, the witch and the family of Su-eun, and what makes the bishop nervous the most is that Eleanor It is that she is a saint.
She was also a savior who would free herself from the heavy weight that now stifles her.
“This way!”
The bishop, who showed signs of nervousness and haste, wanted to end this guidance as soon as possible and be freed from the pressure, which was plainly revealed in his face and actions.
It wasn’t that they didn’t understand the reason, so Eunhyeon and Eleanor smiled bitterly and walked down the aisle of the temple, guided by the bishop.
“Here he is!”
“Thank you. Bishop.”
“Bye, don’t say anything! Then I’m just… !”
Unbefitting for his position as the head of the temple, the bishop, who was showing a servile side, bowed his head and hurriedly left.
“…”
Eun-hyeon was dumbfounded for a moment at his attitude, but since the real business came first, he immediately opened the door and entered the room with Eleanor.
“Oh? Are you here?”
A young girl, probably about 15 years old, sitting on the couch in her room, eating cake.
Anies Yersaleca, the highest-ranking priest sitting in the seat of Archbishop of the Temple of Vesta and one of the six heroes who led the continent to peace, welcomed Eunhyeon and Eleanor’s visit.
The sight of Anies clinging to the sofa, wearing a pajama with a short skirt that showed off her delicate bare legs, bringing a piece of cake into her mouth, was enough to find no girl from a dissolute aristocratic family who just liked to play and eat. .
“… What are you doing?”
“Can’t you see? You are playing.”
The sight of them carelessly lifting their legs up and running back and forth alternately is just like an immature girl of that age. If other priests had seen this scene, they might have denied the reality, saying that this was a dream and searching for a goddess with crab foam. .
Every time she swayed her legs, the skirt she was wearing as her nightgown fluttered, exposing the slender bare thighs of her bare white legs.
Eunhyeon paid attention to Agnes’ careless attitude.
“… I can see your panties.”
“Someone buys it. Could it be that you like a young body like mine?”
“Hey. That’s not what I’m talking about. There is no such thing as an outside gaze. Even though you…”
But Agnes snorted at him and replied.
“What kind of father are you? And since I’m only doing this in my room, don’t worry about it. Outside, he is properly serving as a priest.”
Eleanor somehow laughed at the conversation between the two, as if an adolescent daughter staring at her father and ignoring her father’s nagging.
“What have you done to the priest of this temple? He seemed to want me to take you away quickly.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
Shrugging her shoulders and making a sad expression, she looked really unfair.
He would have to, too, Anies belonged to the Temple of Vesta and was, of course, too burdensome for the Bishop, who was in charge of the temple in the Mograf Territory Branch.
He is an archbishop, one of the representatives of the temple that he, as a member of this temple located on the outskirts of the border, should only see once in his lifetime. Treatment is also insufficient.
Besides, if he was afraid of Anies, who could have him fired immediately without any conditions or restrictions if his heart was twisted, he would have been scared, but it would have been absolutely not comfortable.
“I’m not a bad person…”
Eleanor smiled bitterly, and at least she defended the bishop of the temple.
The bishop’s attitude seemed to be full of desire for Agnes to leave as quickly as possible, as if there was something poking around, but the bishop only wished that a high-ranking person whom he could not handle would go quickly.
“Originally, it’s a burden when the boss is stuck at his place of work for a long time.”
Even Agies is not just a boss, but a tycoon on the level of the vice chairman of a huge corporation.
Even the bishop of this temple was not a priest of such a low rank, but Agnes could not help feeling burdened.
“… Do you say that Lee told me to wait at this temple, so I am doing this now.”
Anyes pouted out his mouth and looked at Eun-hyeon and asked as if arguing.
Originally, she is a character who is very annoyed at being treated by her nobles in this way.
So, originally, she was supposed to follow Erin to the Great Labyrinth of Archis or the Duchy of Armitas, where Eun-hyeon’s house is located, but the reason why she stayed in this temple for a while after the battle of Mo Graf was over was because Eun-hyeon’s order to wait here because there was
“Joy.”
Agnes, who had been rolling around on the sofa eating cake, got up belatedly and sat down properly, watching Eunhyeon and Eleanor sitting across from her.
She said, “I heard from Eleanor that you are visiting because you have business. What’s the matter?”
“So? Now tell me What are you trying to do to me?”
“… Eleanor.”
Eunhyun glanced at Eleanor behind her and sent her a signal.
“Yes.”
Accepting her signal, Eleanor brought her hands together, raised her divine power, and began her prayer.
[You are my goddess in the sky.]
“… Hey? What are you doing now…”
Agies, who had not yet grasped what she was trying to do, frowned and asked Eunhyeon, but she felt the divinity filling her room in an instant and was unable to continue her words.
‘I have grown again.’
Even if it does not reach its own strength yet, the density of divinity that fills the room at the same time as it rapidly raises it is within five fingers even among the high-ranking priests who are known for their names.
The growth rate of the successor who will grow steadily and one day succeed him is phenomenal.
“I wish I could help you too.”
“…”
There were many things he wanted to ask, but Agnes stopped probing and added his divinity to Eleanor’s prayers.
[Please give me a chance to hear you.]
As if accepting her prayer, the room where the three were in was not filled with clean divine energy, and a new space began to form.
“Here is…”
As Agnes looked around the space that had been transformed without any warning, she naturally felt her whole body stiffen with tension.
Blessed with more divinity than anyone else, she immediately recognized that this place was not the underworld.
The divinity felt on her skin through her breath was a quality divinity that she had never felt before.
This space filled with that energy could not have been the summer where she lived her current life, eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Then where is this place?
“This is a passage that exists at the midpoint between the lower world and the divine world. If I had to explain it, the expression ‘stairs’ would be correct.”
As if Anies had read her thoughts, her Eun-hyeon, who had appeared with her Eleanor next to her, answered her out of nowhere.
“…”
“It’s like, how did you know this shit? That’s the expression. It’s written all over your face now.”
“… Tsk. I see done Have you ever been here?”
“There is.”
“This is my first time.”
“… Not surprising for a first time.”
Eleanor, who had been on the stairs for the first time, looked around her with a sense of wonder, but she was not embarrassed or surprised.
She must have heard about this space from Eun-hyeon beforehand.
If so, it also meant that Eunhyeon and Eleanor brought themselves here intentionally.
“Why did you bring me?”
“There is someone I wanted to talk to.”
“Does that have anything to do with me?”
“To be precise, he is the one who can be called only when you and Eleanor are a common medium.”
“… Hey. Can you?”
A common part of Eleanor and her own.
That it was chosen by the goddess Vesta.
Eunhyeon described this space as a ‘stairway’ to head to the divine realm where the gods are.
As soon as Agies realized who Eunhyeon was talking about, he heard a sweet voice that touched his soul.
[Ai’s idea is really amazing…]
[Whoops, no way… Didn’t you think you’d meet the kids this way?]
What appears belatedly are two goddesses who have a strong connection with these three people.
Belldandy and Vesta.
“Ah…”
Agies sighed lightly.
It was the first time for Aies to directly see the real life of the goddess who bestowed her divine blessing on her.
Unable to close her mouth, she approached the two goddesses, carefully moving her steps.
Eventually, Agnes, full of anticipation, looked at a goddess and asked.
“Vesta… Are you!?”
[… Hmm?]
[Huh?]
“What?”
“Yes… ?”
However, everyone except Agnes was taken aback by the powerful question.
It was because Agies’ expectant gaze was looking in a completely different direction.
Vesta, who she knew would recognize her at a glance, followed Agies’ gaze, and when she realized that her gaze was fixed on Belldandi’s voluptuous breasts, her eyes began to cool.
Unaware of the change in Vesta’s atmosphere, Anies’ eyes were still pierced by Belldandy’s chest, and excitement began to dwell in them.
“Goddess! Please hold me in your arms in that rich heart just once… !”
“Hey. Your Goddess is over there, not over here.”
“… Ah.”
Just before her misfortune exploded, Eunhyeon grabbed Aies by the scruff of her neck and directed her towards Vesta, and Aies sighed softly.
Looking at Vesta’s extremely flat chest, as if in contrast to Belldandi’s, it was Agies’ big mistake that he couldn’t hide her regretful expression for a very short moment.
In Vesta’s heart, which was filled with her joy, resentment began to rise again.
[Your expression is more annoying now than the halfhearted prayers you’ve been praying about me. Can I hit you once?]
“Can I hit you?”
Eun-hyeon willingly volunteered to replace the goddess Vesta.
When she dared to look at the breasts of her own goddess, Belldandy, her heart filled with desire to slap her in the head of Agnes, who harbored her insidious thoughts.
