## Chapter 453 – Kim Kat and the Haunted House
Anyway, I spent some time sucking their breasts and getting handjobs before heading down to the first floor and entering the storage room in the corner.
While moving, all sorts of miscellaneous items were dumped here.
I probably left the holy water I received as compensation last time somewhere around here too.
Since there’s a chance a real demon might appear, it’s best to take it with me.
Let’s check it out first.
—Swish.
I immediately opened the curtain and rummaged through the back of the storage room.
“Ah, damn it, here it is.”
I found two bottles of holy water.
The holy water, contained in luxurious glass bottles, still looked fresh, but I didn’t particularly feel any sacred energy. I wouldn’t know even if I looked, anyway.
Has the expiration date passed?
Since divine power fades over time, it wouldn’t be strange if it had all disappeared already.
But wouldn’t combining two be okay?
I originally only received one holy water, but Eliza gave me her share, saying it was her heart. I don’t know if combining two will be enough.
“Hmm.”
Uncertain.
Rather than blindly trusting it and getting hurt, let’s just take it to the church and ask. You never know. They might exchange it.
I immediately threw on some light clothes and prepared to go out.
“Kat, are you going out again?”
“I’m going to ask the church if this holy water is expired. I’ll be back soon. Do you need anything?”
“Hmm… something sweet?”
“I’ll buy it on the way back.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
I should buy plenty.
“Kat. Go and come back safely. I love you.”
“Hehehe, yeah. Me too.”
I left the house with Claudia’s affectionate send-off.
Since it takes almost two days to get to the mansion, I should prepare for the expedition on the way back from the church.
But how many people will be going?
Copson is really good at finding people, so I think he’ll find them on his own, but about four people would be perfect for splitting the profits.
—Thump, thump.
I immediately went to the Brass Angel Church.
“Oh, you are?”
“Hello. I came to ask something.”
“Come in!”
As soon as I arrived, I was guided by the priest guarding the front door. It’s a familiar face. He must recognize me too, because he immediately guided me inside.
“Who are you looking for today?”
“Rather than looking for someone, I have something to ask.”
“What is your question?”
“This.”
I took the holy water out of my backpack and showed it to the priest.
“Oh… this is our holy water.”
“I received this as compensation last time, but I haven’t had a chance to use it. I was wondering if the divine power might have faded.”
“Ah, I see. Then I’ll call the senior pastor.”
“Yes.”
“Please wait here.”
I was guided to a room I had been in several times before.
I pulled out a chair and sat down, waiting for the senior pastor to come. But isn’t senior pastor a pretty high position? Is it okay to just call him like that?
“Heh.”
Well, I am a self-proclaimed saint, after all.
I even received a rosary from this church, so this level of treatment is only natural. And I’ve filed several public interest reports related to heretics.
—Creak.
After waiting for a moment, the senior pastor came in.
I immediately stood up and greeted him.
“It hasn’t been long, but how have you been?”
“I’ve been doing very well. I heard you had a question about the holy water?”
“Here.”
I showed him the holy water and asked if the divine power was still there. He gave it to me himself, so he’ll know best.
“Ah, due to the passage of time, the divine power has weakened considerably.”
“I knew it had weakened. Thank you so much for letting me know. But how effective is it in that state? Would it be possible to melt a demon, for example?”
“A demon? Are you perhaps going to hunt demons… or something?”
He asked with wide eyes.
“No, it’s not like that. It’s just that things have been a bit unsettling lately. Like the high imp and succubus I reported last time. I might run into one on the street, so I’m thinking of carrying holy water with me. I have to judge them if I see them.”
“Hmm, I see. That’s a very sound idea. In that case…”
The pastor nodded after hearing my explanation.
“I will exchange it for a new one.”
“Oh! Really!”
What a windfall!
“If you’re using it for the public good, of course I have to exchange it. And since this holy water is the one I gave you myself, it’s only right that I take responsibility.”
“Thank you!”
“Don’t mention it.”
I received two bottles of brand-new holy water from the senior pastor and left.
As expected of a religious person, he’s very generous.
Although it’s just two small bottles, with this, even if I meet Hildegard again, I can inflict a fatal blow. It’s holy water with formidable power that even messed up that huge kobold queen.
This is literally like hydrochloric acid that melts demons.
I feel relieved.
After receiving the holy water, I immediately went to the general store to buy supplies for the expedition and filled my backpack. And I stopped by the bakery in the middle, and well, then I went home.

“That bastard… he really likes going out.”
“Isn’t that just because he’s a man?”
I woke up before dawn and went to the bathroom with Karin and Risha to wash up. Today is their work day. They both woke up earlier than usual to see me off.
“I have to go out and work.”
Their flesh clinging to my body is so soft.
Karin’s skin is soft on the outside, but firm on the inside when you press it. But Risha is just soft all over.
They both feel different to the touch, so it always feels fresh.
“Yeah. Our husband has to go outside and swing his sword to improve his skills. But I’m a little possessive, so when you say you’re going on a trip, I just want to tie you up inside the house. Should I link up with Winia?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden!”
“This one also wants to keep you under her skirt. Can’t you not go? It seems like it would be cold in the lower abdomen to spend the night with just women.”
“Risha…!”
And so, the three of us naturally overlapped in the bathroom. Since we only had about an hour of free time, I could only do it three times for each person.
“Haa… I’m letting you off easy because I did it until dawn yesterday. Go and come back safely. Don’t get hurt. Kill all the bastards you can kill. And you know to come back and report, right?”
“Hehehe, don’t worry. Look forward to it when I get back. I’ll hold you all night long.”
“Are you trying to turn me on, you bastard?”
Still, Karin looked satisfied.
“…Go and come back safely. I already feel lonely. I hope you don’t stray and come back as soon as possible.”
“Where would I go leaving Risha behind? I’ll be right back.”
“Even so, this one…”
“Wait for me, Risha.”
“Ugh… I understand.”
I said goodbye to my wives and came out of the bathroom. Their lower bodies were already covered in my semen, so they had to wash again. Ah, damn it. I feel like my lower body is heavy because I didn’t drain the water properly in the morning.
I want to do it for just two more hours, but if I do, I’ll be late.
I can’t do that when I’ve made an appointment.
I immediately put on my equipment, packed my backpack, and went outside.
—Thump, thump.
My steps are light.
The muscles packed inside my body and the bones supporting them were full of strength, and the increased mana also cleared my mind and vision. Come to think of it, has my eyesight gotten better?
I can clearly feel that my body has become extremely healthy.
“Strong power.”
I savor the power of my body and take a breath. Everything is good, but my sex drive is too high. It’s troublesome that I’m getting healthier in this area too!
Anyway, I arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild and went inside to find Copson.
“Hey, Copson. Are you there?”
“Oh, Barbarian! You’ve arrived!”
I heard his voice from over there when I called his name.
“Did I make you wait?”
“I just got here!”
“That’s a relief. I always feel bad if I’m the last one to arrive. Anyway, the other person is… oh, shit?”
I was wondering who Copson had brought as a party member, but then a familiar woman with long brown hair approached from the side. —Clang. She was armed with chainmail and had a shield on her back.
“Hello, hello.”
The identity of the woman waving her hands and greeting me was none other than Shield Girl Meria.
“Long time no see. It’s been since winter, right?”
“Wow, it’s been that long. Meria, how have you been?”
“As you can see?”
“What about that dented shield from back then?”
“I repaired it and used it for a while, then sold it and bought a new one. Look at this. The blacksmith drew this pattern on it the way I asked him to.”
Meria proudly showed off the pattern engraved on her shield.
It feels like some kind of beast.
Is it to instill fear in the enemies by drawing an inhuman serial killing monster? Even on Earth, ancient warriors sometimes drew such pictures on their shields.
Her sense is good as expected.
Since she likes shields, she must like decorating and tuning them.
“Isn’t it cute?”
“What? Oh, yeah. It is cute.”
“Thanks for recognizing it. Copson said it looks like a monster.”
“No, Copson. Did you say that?”
“Isn’t it a monster!”
Even if it’s true, you shouldn’t say it like that, you idiot.
Anyway, it seems that Meria is our party member. When I asked Copson if there were any other people, he apologized and answered.
“That’s… unfortunately, I couldn’t find anyone else. Only Meria-san accepted the offer. Since I don’t know anyone in D-rank, it’s hard to find people.”
“Is that so? Well, that can happen. It’s good that you found one person.”
I think it’s enough to go with three people.
In the first place, Copson and Meria have trust.
A reliable colleague is the best thing above all else.
“It’s okay. Three D-ranks are no problem, right?”
“What? Meria, you also reached D-rank?”
“It’s been a while.”
“Wow. Congratulations.”
I heard that she reached D-rank a few months ago. Well, Meria has good equipment and has learned shield techniques, and she’s been in Isvant for longer.
I congratulated her and briefly discussed what to do today.
“I’ve already brought the map. I’ve also marked the location of the mansion here. There shouldn’t be any problem finding the way. If we leave now, it will take about two days.”
“That’s perfect.”
“But wouldn’t it be good to take someone who can be used as a porter? It will be difficult to carry everything for two days.”
As Meria said, it would be good to take a porter.
In my opinion, the main thing this time will be stripping equipment from the corpses of dead adventurers. If not, antiques from the mansion would be good too. Of course, there might be situations where we simply have to run away, but it would be good to take one person.
“Oh, that’s right. Hey. Copson. Let’s do that.”
“Hmm, then I’ll get an F-rank adventurer right away…”
A porter.
It would be better to take someone I know, because it would be a bit much to take just anyone.
“Well, there’s no need to leave right away, so let’s ask the guild to find someone and wait.”
“Is that okay, Meria-san?”
“Yeah. I don’t mind.”
It’s decided.
“Then I’ll register the party with the guild and ask them to find an F-rank… Ah, damn it, I’m hungry. Should we go eat breakfast nearby?”
Everyone nodded at my suggestion.
I immediately went to the counter and registered the party. Of course, I’m the party leader. I have the most D-rank adventurer experience among them.
“Okay, the party registration is complete with D-rank Kat-nim, Copson-nim, and Meria-nim… I will find an F-rank for you.”
“Yes. Please do that.”
I finished the registration and came out with the kids and went to a nearby restaurant. We’ll eat breakfast here and leave with an F-rank.
“Anyway, three of us are enough.”
“Hehehe, that’s right. After all, we defeated that winter spirit with just three people.”
Naias, that bitch.
“Copson. You didn’t do anything.”
“No, Meria-san. What do you mean?”
We finished our meal and returned to the Adventurer’s Guild. I wondered if they had found someone, and I saw a black-haired girl standing on tiptoes and looking at the bulletin board inside.
A black-haired girl.
“Huh? Isn’t that Lina?”
I went behind her and spoke.
“Do you know me… Oppa?”
“Yeah. It’s me. Wow, looking at your clothes, you’re doing well.”
“Ah, yes. I used the money Oppa gave me back then to get out of the slums…”
Lina, whom I met again, was no longer a shabby beggar girl. She had shed her dirty appearance and was wearing proper clothes.
As I was about to greet her, Copson, who had followed me in, shouted in shock.
“Barbarian, who is that little girl… Huh! You already have a daughter that big!!!!”
“No, you idiot!!!”
