## Chapter 207 – For Elise
ㅡOooooooo!!!!
ㅡOoh, ooh!!!!
ㅡLong live eternal life!!!!
Grandma’s bizarre appearance seemed to bring quite a bit of joy to the believers. Their enthusiastic cheers were the response to that shocking sight.
Putting aside whether they actually wanted to see something like that, the fact that they were calling that thing a ‘blessed one’ and ‘eternal life’ made it seem like it would be justifiable to kill every last one of these bastards.
Evil sons of bitches!
Evil that gnaws at this world!
My sense of justice was solemnly advising me to smash these guys’ heads in right now and take all their possessions.
“S, Saint! I can’t see well! Please! Please let me see too!”
“Hmm… Let’s stop jumping for now since you’re standing out. I’ll help you.”
I looked around, slipped my hands under Elise’s armpits, and gently lifted her up. I slowly adjusted it, making sure not to raise her too high and make her too noticeable. And with my help, Elise, having witnessed the truth, trembled greatly.
“…!”
It seemed she couldn’t suppress her extreme urge for violence after witnessing the evil beings. If we hadn’t talked about preparing and acting earlier, she might have flipped the crowd and charged out.
“Elise, calm down. We have to endure for now.”
“…Could I ask for a little longer?”
“As much as you need.”
And so, I held Elise up and watched the gathering.
“If you receive the teachings and accept the blessing, you can escape suffering and gain a strong body. Sister Susan’s current appearance is just a part of the process of preparing for it…”
What the speaker was saying was just the same old routine of how good things would be if you did this or that, and how things would get better if you believed in them. It was uninteresting and not worth listening to.
But more than anything, that grandma’s bizarre appearance caught my eye.
A mummy-like figure with wildly rolling eyes. It was truly a grotesque sight, but she was standing there calmly, watching the gathering. Like a soulless being… If a person who died of starvation came back to life, that’s probably how it would feel.
Even the most starving poor people would normally be terrified to see something like that, wouldn’t they?
Ah, my arms are shaking.
Why are you so heavy, Elise?
“The reason we are poor and powerless is because those who have power are using it to oppress us. How long will you continue to be oppressed? Now we have power. A powerful force that can live forever.”
Once the doctrine explanation was over, it was as if the channel had been changed to a talk show spewing hatred towards capitalists and imperialists. Inciting the destruction of existing authority and order.
What better temptation could there be for the poor who have nothing?
These evil heretics seemed to be filled with an intense desire to overturn the existing world. In fact, the undead incident and the attempt to revive the dead were themselves violations of international law.
“The power of eternal life. The blessing of eternal life. With this alone, you can gain the power to resist them. Accept baptism, acknowledge the blessing. Then there will be salvation.”
In the end, that was the gist of it.
The doctrine was evil, and the ideology was impure.
But it was a bit strange that the poor were falling for something so bizarre. Of course, there were probably many things I didn’t know since I had only attended one gathering, but even so, to see that grotesquely twisted grandma and cheer as if they were watching a hot stripper was impossible unless they were extreme perverts.
“Saint. You can put me down now.”
“Ah, okay.”
“…Your arms were shaking a lot. Were you having a hard time?”
“No, you were lighter than a feather. I just have a bit of a tremor.”
“…Is that so.”
As I put Elise down, the speaker announced that they would be selecting volunteers to receive baptism. The crowd went wild, and I held Elise’s hand tightly to avoid getting separated.
In that state, Elise said with a stiff face.
“Saint. I am currently sensing an evil magical power. This foreign energy… I cannot express it concretely, but it is not as if it is not evil. Such energy is pervasive. This irrational atmosphere seems to be partly due to it.”
“Evil magical power…”
I don’t really know.
This must be the same energy that Riccia was talking about.
“And that person called Sister Susan. That is extremely ominous. There are so many suspicious things about it… I can only feel the urge to destroy everything.”
“Let’s endure for now.”
“Yes. We must endure.”
In the meantime, I identified the people who were selected.
Everyone had volunteered for baptism, but only ten people were chosen.
Only one of them was an old person, and the other nine were young people. The selected people disappeared behind the stage, guided by other priests.
With that, the gathering ended.
The speaker announced that the next gathering would be held here in a few days and disappeared into the darkness. As soon as those words were spoken, the poor people began to rush out with a heightened tension.
“Let’s get out of here quickly too.”
“Understood.”
Following the flow, Elise and I also went outside. It felt like a crush accident could happen with the slightest mistake. After climbing the long staircase and going outside, the world was extremely dark.
It was late.
It seemed to have taken longer than I thought.
“Should we go back for now? There’s nothing more to see here.”
“I suppose so. Let’s stop here for today.”
The cold air. The dark alley. There were a few places where fires were lit sparsely, but they were only a few. There were no buildings with lights on, and most of the poor people were just lying down here and there, covered in rags.
These guys have nothing but their lives.
What are they trying to exploit to do such a thing?
“Saint. It seems that their goal is to use the ‘baptism’ mentioned earlier to turn humans into grotesque figures like that heretic called Susan.”
“Then what’s the benefit?”
“I do not know. The way of thinking of evil people cannot be followed.”
A bizarre faith hidden in the back alleys. The poor people flocking to it. The terrible appearance gained by promising eternal life, and the priests who looked similar to the cultists in the underground waterway.
I hope it’s something profitable.
I didn’t see anything that looked profitable earlier.
I came out of the slum with Elise.
I went ahead of her as she was about to say goodbye.
“Let’s go. I’ll walk you home.”
“That’s… It’s alright. I can go alone.”
“Would I let you go alone just because you can go alone? It’s one thing if you were going to Krasheim, but you’re just going to the lodging here, so I can do that much.”
“…”
Come to think of it, this is the first time we’ve walked together at night since we destroyed the Kobolds’ sanctuary. To exaggerate a bit, we even slept under the same blanket back then.
“Elise. Then, shall we meet in front of the guild tomorrow morning too?”
“…Yes. I think that would be good.”
Elise and I walked together and talked about what time we would meet tomorrow.
“Then let’s meet when the sun rises tomorrow. We’re here.”
“…”
I could see the lodging where Elise was staying.
It was near the Adventurer’s Guild.
“I will see you tomorrow, Saint. Please get home safely.”
Elise stopped and greeted me.
“Yeah, you too. See you tomorrow, my Divine Friend.”
“Hehe. Divine Friend, you say.”
“Also a brother.”
“A brother… Thank you for today, then.”
I watched Elise go inside and then turned around.
Actually, the reason I walked Elise home was because I was overcome with a sense of unease when I thought about returning to the lodging. I could already see Winnia nagging me for coming late, no matter what reason I gave.
“Damn it.”
I came after working!
Don’t get angry!
I shouted those wishes and trudged back to the lodging. Looking at the moon, it seemed to be around dawn. I hope Winnia is asleep. With a trembling heart, I opened the door and peeked inside.
ㅡCreak.
“I, I’m here… Are you asleep?”
The inside of the lodging was very dark.
That’s a relief. They’re both already slee…
ㅡFlash!
“Oh!”
Then, flash, the lights turned on.
Startled, I raised my arm to shield my eyes.
“Our darkie.”
“W, Winnia?”
“Do you. Fucking. Know what time it is?”
“Well, let me see? Is it dinner time? Did our Winnia eat? Y, you’re even prettier at night, wow. Did you just wake up?”
Currently, her attire was a luxurious red lace lingerie set that she usually wore to bed… A tired Winnia becomes even more irritable.
“What?”
Winnia, with her arms crossed and a very angry expression, began to glare at me as I awkwardly tried to change the subject. Her huge breasts, which covered her entire forearm, were so alluring, but I just smiled awkwardly and avoided her gaze.
“Katt, you’re here? You’re very late?”
Then Claudia woke up, rubbing her eyes.
“Y, yeah… The work took a bit longer.”
“Until this hour? Our Katt must have had a hard time? Come here.”
“What do you mean, come here? Sister. Do you know what time it is?”
“Hmm, let me see?”
“It’s dawn, dawn.”
“He said he was late because he was working, what can we do? Stop it and come up here. Katt, come here. I’ll give you a hug.”
Claudia said kindly, but Winnia was just angry. I went to the corner and started taking off my clothes while watching them, and Winnia picked up her staff and approached me.
“O, oh! Why! Why! Why are you picking that up!”
“Did I tell our darkie to come home early or not?”
ㅡWhoosh!
The staff, swung like a whip, was not something I could avoid at my level. So naturally, the ring went around my neck. ㅡKehk, kehk?! As Winnia pulled the staff, I fell forward!
“Cough, cough! Claudia! Stop Winnia!”
“Hmm… What should I do about this?”
I cried out to Claudia.
No, I came after working, you can’t do this!
“What do you mean, stop her, you fucking darkie! Kneel down right now!”
“Ugh! Ugh! Winnia! I’m sorry! The work ended late! I couldn’t help it! I wanted to come early too!”
“Does our darkie think that’s going to be an excuse? Huh? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting!”
Winnia, grabbing my neck, screamed.
“No! Then what am I supposed to do if I’m late because of work!”
“Are you raising your voice now?”
“T, this isn’t raising my voice. I’m just saying…”
As I was suffering like that, Claudia came down from the bed and hugged Winnia from behind.
“Winnia. Stop it there. Katt worked hard, didn’t he? You should be praising Katt for working hard, not doing this, right?”
“No, sister. If we let him off here, he’ll wander around outside again.”
“How much does Katt wander around?”
“Ah, still…”
“Let’s give Katt some self-esteem?”
Winnia, who couldn’t stand up to Claudia, became a little weaker.
Repeated violence.
A husband living under his wife’s thumb.
I made a big decision and stood up.
“Yeah. That’s right, Winnia.”
“Huh?”
ㅡSwish, swish, swish!
Taking advantage of the gap, I removed the staff from my neck and took a stance of the Head of Department Kwon’s Fist Technique.
“Honestly, I’ve got mana now and I’m fucking strong, so can I live like this while losing face? Winnia. It’s better to start treating me kindly… Because my power can’t be stopped! So I won’t kneel! Apologize to me!”
I can’t just keep getting beaten up.
Now that I have power, I need to establish my authority and subjugate Winnia…! I said that with endless weight.
Whether it worked or not, Winnia stared at me intently.
ㅡSnort.
“Is our darkie talking back to me now that he’s got that tiny bit of mana?”
Snort. Winnia, as if she couldn’t bear to see how pathetic I was, suddenly took off her bra and revealed her breasts. Then, her elastic, huge breasts popped out of the bra cups.
“Suck on these, darkie.”
With a devilish smile, Winnia said.
“…?”
“I’ve been waiting for that, so how can you be late? Come on, come closer.”
“Yes.”
As I approached hesitantly, Winnia hugged me.
“Why is our darkie so cute? The way you talked back just now was so cute.”
My Head of Department Kwon’s Fist Technique and protest were cute?
“So I’ll forgive you♡ You worked until night? You worked hard today?”
“What, what’s with this change of attitude…”
As expected, Winnia was unpredictable.
As soon as I got on the bed, Winnia gave me a lap pillow. I couldn’t respond to the rapidly changing attitude that went from cold to hot in an instant, but as I sucked on her nipple like a baby as she asked, all the worries of the world began to disappear.
“Ah, ah… Our darkie sucks so well.”
What about Claudia, who was watching that?
“Katt, you had a hard time today, didn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“You need comfort, right?”
She came up on top of me as it was natural, grabbed my already hard thing with her lower mouth, and slowly started riding me.
…Life is worth living.
I sucked on Winnia’s breasts while feeling Claudia’s sensation inside me.
If this is the case, then I can work hard.
