Chapter 61 – Cultists (2)
“Sister, I heard that you put in a nomination request for me…”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“May I ask what the request is?”
“I think it would be better to go inside and not talk about it here.”
“…Inside?”
The nun’s proposal was instinctively reluctant. It must be because the first meeting with her was so impressive. I don’t think it will ever happen again, but people don’t know.
“Brother?”
“Oh, no.”
Still, she couldn’t get in. Because she’s the first nominated client she’s ever received, and refusing to go in with her means ‘you’re too hot.’ It could have offended the nun.
I followed the nun into the temple. The place she followed her to was a room that appeared to be her reception room. As I sat down on a chair in front of her table, the nun gave me a ride in her tea.
“Thank you. So, what is a nomination request?”
“Hehe, I just sat down, aren’t you in a hurry? Do you have any urgent matters?”
There is nothing urgent. However, I was reluctant to be in the same room with this nun. I’m still having a headache right now about Sister Cerris, but I don’t want to create more trouble here.
“Yes, I have an appointment today.”
So she lied. She became a nun’s wistful face.
“It’s been a while since I tried to hear the outside news, but it’s a pity. It’s not polite to keep holding on to someone who is busy, so I’ll tell you right away.”
She said as the nun placed her hand on her neatly gathered lap.
“This time, I decided to go on a pilgrimage with other nuns. I would like to ask the brothers and sisters to escort me during my pilgrimage to the Holy Land.”
“You mean an escort?”
“Yes.”
Took me a bite of tea
“Do we have to escort the other nuns too?”
“No, brother, you only need to escort me. The other nuns will each find an escort to take care of them.”
“How long is the escort? Is the Holy Land a dangerous place?”
“Six days to and from, and one day at the Holy Land, it would take about a week for everything. And the Holy Land is not in a dangerous place. You can walk along the highway and fall into a small road on the way.”
“Is that so…”
The content itself was not a bad quest. But there is something I don’t understand.
“Sister, I have a question, can I ask her?
“What is it?”
“Why did you choose us? We are a fledgling party with only one iron grade and two rock grades.”
It was strange that she received the nomination request, but after hearing the details of her request, I couldn’t understand it any more. If it’s an escort request, she’s entrusting her personal safety to us, but what on earth did they see on our side and make that decision?
The nun smiled lightly when she heard my question.
“It’s just as Sister Orr said.”
“Are you Or? Because of what he said…”
“Brother said that his self-evaluation was too shallow compared to his skills.”
“…More than persecuted, it’s about knowing my subject.”
“Is that so? That’s strange. Sister Or said that it was not long before Brother Yuseong Han would be in the same grade.”
“…Yes?”
I was a little surprised by Sister Nella’s words.
Among adventurers of this rank, they are veterans with skills and trust. But to think that I, who just finished one month, might be in the same grade. It’s an overkill.
Sister Nella said, as if my thoughts were unexpected.
“Of course, there must be some exaggeration. But it was a decision made with that in mind.”
“Is that so…”
If it’s a decision you made after considering it, there’s nothing to say. While drinking tea and trying to organize her thoughts, Sister Nella continued her words.
“And…”
And?
Is there another reason?
Staring at her nun, she turned her head away in embarrassment. In a small voice she said.
“I’m a little short of money…”
“Ah…”
Seeing Sister Nella’s expression, I had a feeling that might be the biggest reason. It was a very realistic reason, so I trusted it more.
“Then, how much do you plan to give for today’s request?”
She answered as the nun corrected her posture.
“I’ll give you 1 silver per day.”
“Is it 1 silver per person?”
“Ah, no, all the brothers and sisters are 1 silver…”
Sister Nella shrank. He glanced down at me and looked at me with his eyes.
“When you say escort, do you mean you have to stick around all day?”
“Yes, it is.”
“But isn’t 1 silver a bit salty for the three of us escorting the whole day…”
“…Sorry. But I don’t have money… How can I not…?”
The nun asked with a slightly desperate expression. I crossed my arms and leaned against the chair. He nodded her head and pretended to be troubled.
‘It’s not too bad if it’s 1 silver.’
Actually, 1 silver a day for the three of us to escort was not such a bad amount. On the contrary, it can be seen as a little on the backward side.
The Reynolds and Agnes sisters are special cases. You shouldn’t think about it in line with it.
She had just told the nun that she was lacking, just to bargain her bargain. But looking at her expression, I think that’s really all there is to it.
There is nothing more to gain, so there is no need for useless push and pull. I folded my arms and smiled.
“All right. I will accept your request.”
The nun’s face brightened.
“Ah..! Thank you! Yurmia-sama’s blessings will be with you!”
“What. Didn’t the nun help me last time too?”
Nella held out her hand to her nun, and she took it and shook it with her two hands.
“I am very fortunate. If I hadn’t been able to find an escort by today, I would have had to be among the other sisters… I can’t imagine how much I would have eaten.”
The nun shuddered in horror.
“When do you start working?”
“The day after tomorrow, she will be leaving with her sisters. Please come to the temple the next morning.”
“Yes, then I will go. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”
I came out of the temple that way.
* * *
“Did you pack everything you need?”
“Huh! I got everything.”
“If I leave now, I can’t come back even if I think of things I didn’t take care of. Check it one more time.”
Kara and Seris unpacked again and started to check.
“A blanket for sleeping, and a wooden sword for training…”
“I brought a cooking pot and a ladle…”
-I also brought a blanket and gag cloth to use when having sex with Yoosung.
“…”
I looked at Seris. She glanced at Kara and secretly massaged her ass.
-Are you looking forward to it?
-…No.
-Lie. Looking at my butt
-No it’s not. And I won’t be doing it this week.
-Really? Can you stand it?
Ceris lifted her butt towards me. Her dizzying silence followed was exposed through the leather pants that were tight from squatting down. Her slender hand stroked her convex ass.
– I don’t think you can stand it.
Seris curled up the corners of her mouth.
I didn’t respond and looked away from Celis. She also put her marbles in her pocket. Her Seris mouth pouted out.
“I got everything!”
After unpacking her luggage, Kara jumped up.
“I also took care of everything.”
“Okay. Then let’s go to the temple.”
I went to the temple with them. In front of the temple, five nuns and several adventurers who appeared to be their escorts were gathered. Most of the adventurers were familiar faces.
‘Most of the iron grades sometimes have a copper grade. As for the rocks… There are only Seris and Kara. Do those guys work for 1 silver a day?’
It’s not a level where three people of iron rank can only receive 1 silver a day.
As we were wondering, Sister Nella, who had requested us, approached us.
“Brothers and sisters, thank you for coming today.”
“Ah, Sister!”
Seris approached Sister Nella and she took her hand. He bowed her head and greeted her.
“I was really grateful for this day. If it wasn’t for the nuns, really…”
“No, I only acted for Lady Yurmia’s mercy, I didn’t do anything in particular. Rather, the sister who carried the brother to the temple suffered more.”
“Ah… Sister…!”
Sister Nella and Ceris were filming a drama together. While I was watching, Kara clung to me.
“Brother, what happened when my ankle hurt?”
“I was hurt, but the nun treated me.”
“Uh? Brother, are you hurt?! Why didn’t you tell me!”
“I was afraid you would worry. And since I was healed, I didn’t even have to say anything.”
“What is that! I should have told you though. I’m your brother’s girlfriend!”
Flinch. At the mention that she was his girlfriend, Celis shuddered at her, then she turned to face her. Soon after, she started talking to the nun again.
“Brother?”
“Uh… Ok, sorry…”
Somehow chills down my spine.
* * *
All the adventurers gathered, and the nuns and adventurers set off. The ranks are two, two, one nuns and the adventurers escorting them. The nun who went alone was our nun.
I moved to Sister Nella’s side.
“Why do you walk apart instead of banding together? Any reason?”
Sister Nella’s face was difficult to speak. In her hopes, she asked her.
“…A clique or something?”
Then Sister Nella smiled awkwardly and nodded her head. I was dumbfounded.
“Do you have a lot of factional strife?”
“As you see…”
“I don’t understand. In that situation, why do nuns from different factions go on pilgrimage together?”
“That… I don’t know. It seems that the bishop was trying to alleviate the quarrel between the factions even a little… Why did I even…”
Sister Nella let out a sigh as if her troubles were hurting.
“Which faction is Sister Nella on? Is it a faction different from those two factions?”
“I have no faction affiliation. It’s been a while since I came to Kalita…”
“Ah…”
Sister Nella was in the midst of her whale fight, bursting with shrimp. Suddenly she felt sorry for her.
“Aren’t the factions telling each other to join their side?”
“It would have been better if it had been. Didn’t you have any?”
“Ah…”
“Haha…”
Sister Nella laughed dejectedly. It seems that her hardships are just beginning.
* * *
Ten hours had passed since she left the city. We walked on the safe road, so there were no major problems.
“The sun is setting. It would be good to prepare for camp soon.”
Sister Nella looked up at the sky and said. I glanced at the nuns from other factions.
First, I looked at the nuns who had taken off their headscarves shortly after coming out of the city. They are blue-haired and sky-blue-haired nuns. They were chatting with adventurers, probably talking about camping like us.
I turned my gaze the other way. These were nuns with slightly ferocious faces. They were arguing with the adventurers.
Turned on ‘The Wolf’s Pact’.
– The sun hasn’t completely set yet. There we are on a safe road. It’s okay to go further!
-Ha… Sister, I need to prepare for camping now so that I can just in time for the day to get dark.
We were debating whether or not to camp. Turned off ‘The Wolf’s Pact’.
‘But why do they only talk about it among themselves?’
Shouldn’t we all get together and discuss it? If someone says they’re going to camp and someone else says they’re going, it’s not like they’re going to be ripped apart.
When the absurdity disappeared, adventurers approached one by one from both sides. I walked over to them too. The adventurer from the blue-haired nun spoke first.
“We decided to camp. What happened to them?”
“Looks like we’ll be camping too.”
At our words, the adventurer from the ferocious nun sighed.
“My sister keeps asking us to go further… But if they all ask to camp, we can’t help it. Let’s just camp out.”
“Are you okay?”
The adventurer scratched her head at my question.
“We can’t go alone, so what can we do? Even if I go, it’s obviously dangerous. It’s better to just curse and go safely.”
“It is. Then what about the night shift?”
“I have to turn around. There are 15 of us in total, so let’s take turns standing in groups of three.”
After that, the order of vigils was decided, and Sister Seris and I became the first ones on duty. After dinner, Sister Seris and I stood up to keep watch.
“I’ll stand with you…”
“No, Sister, get some rest. This is what we do for money.”
“Yes, then…”
Leaving behind Sister Nella, who was lying in her sleeping bag, we started to watch. Kara nodded her head and dozed off.
“Kara, even if you’re sleepy, bear with it.”
“Okay…”
Kara stood upright for a moment, then her eyes slowly closed again. I pulled her into her mine without her help.
“Brother?”
“I can’t stand it like that, so lean on me and sleep. I can’t say that I grew up lying down in case other adventurers see it.”
“Thank you brother.”
Kara began to doze off, resting her head on my chest and shoulder. Seris waved her hand in front of Kara’s eyes. Kara opened her eyes slightly.
“Sister?”
“Ah… You’re not sleeping. Sorry.”
Kara closed her eyes again, and Ceris took out her purple orb and waved it in front of her. It means take it out.
I looked at her for a moment and then looked away from her. Didn’t even take out her marbles. Lately, she has been feeling too swayed by her, so she’s thinking of adjusting it a bit.
Cerris glared at her with her unkind eyes, but she tried to ignore it.
After our night watch, we went back to our seats and lay down on the floor. Kara fell asleep as soon as she lay down. I smiled and covered myself with the blanket.
Little by little, I was drowsy, but suddenly something swept into the blanket. I was startled and looked inside and saw Celis trying to take off my pants. The mask was left off to the side.
“Hey, what are you doing now…”
“Shhh…!”
She raised her index finger to her lips and pointed at her purple orb. Reluctantly, I took out her marble and held it.
– What are you doing?!
-You can see it.
The pants are half way down. I freaked out and tried to stop it, but it felt like the blanket would tip over. As I was thinking about what to do, Celis pulled all my pants down.
– You ignored me earlier?
He grabbed my cock.
– This is the punishment!
I put it in my mouth and sucked on the side.
