## Chapter 496 – Quasi-Priest Kim Kat
Anyway, wearing such good equipment made me feel like I was going crazy.
This was definitely the first time in my life I’d worn such a good set of armor. This incredible fit. It was practically all unique items. With this level of defense, I was sure I wouldn’t even get a scratch, no matter how badly those sons of bitches beat me up.
“And this is your reward.”
The reward was 1 gold and 50 silver.
Holy shit, that’s a lot.
“What, is this really that much?”
“It was quite the demon. This reward was given by the Lord, so there’s no need to thank the church.”
“Still, thank you!”
ㅡVibrating!
Now my hands and feet were just trembling. Literally vibrating. I received the reward, my hands shaking violently.
This would be perfect to feed Alaune right now.
Let’s remember this feeling.
I was planning to buy some new equipment with the reward money, but now there was no need.
No, but even after the equipment set and the reward, there were still rewards for Claudie and Winia. Just catching one strong demon and the rewards are pouring out like this. They really are a religion of faith and trust.
“And about the rewards for the other sisters… In fact, Brother, you have been recognized for your contributions and will be granted the position of Quasi-Priest. Unfortunately, the other sisters do not have enough merit to receive the same.”
The pastor trailed off.
“Is that so?”
Actually, I showed my face at the church in many ways, but Claudie and Winia didn’t. It seems they don’t have enough church contribution points to be granted the position of Quasi-Priest.
Well, it’s a shame, but what can you do?
“That’s right. So I was wondering what to give them, and one is a warrior, and the other is a mage, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. You’ve seen correctly.”
“Please give them this.”
When the pastor gave the order, the priest next to him opened a box. Inside were a wand plated with brass and a pretty good-looking sword.
“These are also ceremonial equipment from our Brass Celestial Angel Society. Both the wand and the sword are sensitive to divine power. Of course, they also react to mana, but the efficiency is slightly lower than with divine power.”
Of course, since they’re used by the church, they’ll react more sensitively to divine power than mana. Anyway, according to the explanation, they’re both precious items. Very effective for exorcising evil spirits.
These must be the maximum rewards the church can give.
“Thank you. They will be happy as well.”
In the end, I got a lot of things today.
Winia could use the wand, and Claudie would like the sword. But she uses a curved sword, so would she be okay with this kind of sword?
Then let’s say goodbye and go back.
“Thank you so much for today. I swear to live by defeating evil enemies to repay the church’s kindness. Hehehe, I have to work hard as a Quasi-Priest.”
“Of course, I believe you will. Ah, before you go back, there’s a procedure to make the Quasi-Priest certificate, so please follow me for a moment. You just need to fill in some personal information.”
“Okay.”
The priest right next to me handed me a document and a pen.
After reading it carefully, it was a document required to create the Quasi-Priest certificate. After filling it all out and submitting it to the priest, the pastor greeted me and said.
“Finally, there is one more piece of news to deliver.”
There’s a lot going on.
“Lord Isvant was also shocked to see Andromalius’ arm in person. So he will commend all the members of the search party for their contributions, so please come back to the church in a week. The certificate will be completed by then.”
“Yes?”
What?
“Gather at the church and depart for the Lord’s castle. On that day, please wear the Combat Priest equipment set you are wearing now. Please tell the other sisters to dress appropriately for the occasion.”
For a moment, I wondered what the hell this was, but after concentrating and organizing the story, it was that the Lord, who was shocked to see the demon’s arm, would directly give a reward.
Holy shit.
“Hahaha! Brother, you were very surprised! Don’t forget! Come to the church early in the morning a week later! Then, farewell!”
“Goodbye. Thank you for your hard work.”
The Lord is giving a reward?
“Ah… Yes. Pastor, Brother Bakarel, and priests, thank you so much. Goodbye.”
With such a huge reward and strange news, I said goodbye in a daze and went outside.
I received so much… and I’m even receiving a reward from the Lord?
“Heu, hehehe!”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Wow, holy shit! I’m so lucky!”
Living diligently, things like this happen. People should live doing good things.
“I am Quasi-Priest Kim Kat of the Brass Celestial Angel Society!”
Quasi-Priest.
There are various benefits, but the most important thing is that the Brass Celestial Angel Society guarantees my identity.
No matter which city I go to, if there is a Brass Celestial Angel Society church there, my identity is 100% guaranteed. It was even said that there is a headquarters in the royal capital, so I can go there and wander around without any worries.
Even if something goes wrong, if it’s not my fault, those people will protect me.
This is the effect of having an identity.
In other words, it’s a reliable backer.
A backer that can confidently say, “Don’t mess with this guy, or you’re screwed.”
“Hehehe!”
I walked down the street, laughing.
Certainly, I did a really good job. Of course, I deserve this much reward. Is Andromalius a nameless demon? I don’t know well, but that guy was definitely skilled enough to speak loudly even in hell.
Anyway, my wives will be really happy if I tell them.
I’m a Quasi-Priest…!
“…”
But an audience with the Lord.
ㅡO~hohohohohohot!
I thought of Lady Isvant.
A busty beauty with red pigtails and a truly aristocratic laugh.
She seemed to have a pretty hearty personality, and above all, she freely wielded an inhuman greatsword and burst the ogre’s side like bursting the side of kimbap.
Of course, perhaps because her agility was low, she didn’t succeed in attacking even once until she executed various tactics while consuming troops. Still, seeing her use such destructive Sword Aura to that extent, she must be strong.
Well, I saw her in the arena too.
There’s a chance I’ll see her face, so let’s prepare some greetings. Since the Lord will give a reward, I have to give a lot of thanks. They’re a grateful family in many ways.
ㅡStep, step.
My steps were very light.
When you think about it, Hildegard, that bitch, gave me the information about the Demon Gate, so this is how it turned out.
Is she some kind of lucky bluebird?
I was walking home with that thought in mind.
ㅡTsupat!
Suddenly, I felt an eerie energy, and when I immediately turned around, I saw a familiar succubus smiling and waving her hand.
“Sir Knight. Your equipment has changed? It’s so cool. I’m so glad to see you after a long time. Did something good happen?”
“Hi, Hildegard!”
Speak of the devil!
“Yes, yes. It’s Hildegard, who always thinks only of Sir Knight.”
For a moment, I stopped trying to draw my sword.
Hildegard… She came to find me on her own.
“You bastard!”
Because this bastard told me about the Demon Gate, we almost died to Andromalius. But she’s smiling like this!
“Yes? Why are you angry again this time? Hehe, you look really cool when you’re angry. Would you tell me why?”
Even though I was angry, Hildegard just smiled and approached me. This bastard… Could it be that she doesn’t know about Andromalius?
“Bullshit! You dared to deceive me!”
“Deceive you?”
“That Demon Gate!”
“Yes, yes. There was a gate as I said, right? And you got a reward from the church for it. Congratulations. Can you trust me a little more now?”
“It’s the opposite, you bitch!”
“…Why?”
She just stared at me with a puzzled face, as if she didn’t know anything.
“No, holy shit, when I broke the gate, some huge demon came out and I almost died, you son of a bitch. You dare to trap me?”
“Yes? Yes? Holy… no. A huge demon came out?”
“Yes! A guy named Andromalius came out and I almost died! He dared to try to kill me!”
“Andromalius?!”
When I mentioned Andromalius, she opened her eyes wide and shouted.
“Don’t pretend to be surprised, you demon!”
“No, no! Sir Knight! It’s a misunderstanding! Andromalius! I just told you all the facts I knew for Sir Knight’s sake! I don’t know what you’re talking about, Andromalius!”
Hildegard, who seemed quite embarrassed, poured out words to me as if she was making excuses.
In fact, what she said wasn’t wrong.
It was just that Andromalius popping out was a special case.
“You didn’t know? Are you lying? You didn’t plot to kill Andromalius by using me and the paladins because it would benefit you?”
“Th, that can’t be! No, why does it keep turning out like this when I’m trying to gain trust! But Count Andromalius?! Sir Knight, I’m a little confused right now! What’s going on! Please explain properly!”
“…”
I can’t tell if this is acting or real.
She seemed to really not know, but this year is an essential demon. Even though I got the Combat Priest equipment set and the reward thanks to her, I can’t just believe her.
“…Do you know what Andromalius does?”
“Of course I know! A cruel and bizarre Count! There’s a legend that the corpses of demons who were killed for not answering his questions are piled up like mountains… Are you saying you fought that Andromalius now?”
Listening to the story, it seemed like she knew something. Certainly, he was acting like a crazy bastard, asking for answers.
“I beat him to death with the paladins. Well, but when I saw him last, he left an arm and went back to hell.”
“An arm…! It seems like it was an incomplete summoning… No! This is not the time for this! Sir Knight. It’s a bit difficult to talk about it here, so let’s go to a place where there are only two of us. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Follow her?
I’m definitely curious… But still.
Anyway, I’m fully armed now and my mana is full, so nothing will happen. Even if I listen to the story, it’s too difficult to do it here. Where would I talk about demons?
“Well, let’s listen once.”
“…Really? Are you really going to listen?”
“One way or another, I got a big reward thanks to you. I’m grateful for that.”
Still, since I got something, I expressed my gratitude.
If I received a physical item, I can trust her to some extent.
That was the true duty of Fusion Confucianism. If you receive a reward, it’s human nature to reciprocate. It’s not bad to listen to her excuses here.
“Heu, hehehe…! You’re welcome! I did it all for Sir Knight! Then let’s go to a place where there are only two of us.”
Hildegard, who burst into laughter, tried to grab my arm, so I immediately avoided it.
“This year is trying to touch my body?”
“Not yet? I got such a reward thanks to you.”
“Shut up.”
“You’re too much, really. Still, I’m really happy just to have a conversation like this.”
First, let’s go into the general store nearby. It’s good to receive the Combat Priest equipment set, but with such noticeable equipment, I’ll attract attention wherever I go.
I need to cover it up a bit.
I bought a black cape that came down to my waist at the general store and put it on.
Hmm, it’s perfect.
“Then where should we go?”
“I know a quiet place.”
“Guide me.”
So I was guided by Hildegard.
This succubus chattered with a bright smile as she walked, as if she was so happy about something. Is this the attitude she’s showing because she really wants my essence? If I’m careless for a moment, I might have my essence stolen completely.
“Here?”
“It’s where I’m staying.”
The place we arrived at was a lodging in the corner of the city.
“This bitch?”
“No, no. It’s not like that. I guided you here because there’s no better place to talk than here. It’s not a good story for humans to hear.”
“…”
That’s true.
I followed her right in.
