## Chapter 535 – What’s Going On?
The Saintess of Kadia’s offer was incredibly bold.
She was the second-in-command of the Brass Archangel Order, one of the largest churches. Such a person was promising wealth and fame while asking me to work under her.
In this world, the power of religion is strong.
In fact, each member is highly respected, enjoying universal admiration. Becoming a member would certainly be a good thing.
But as much as they receive such favor, their lives are filled with suffering.
They fight evil beings on the front lines, defending humanity.
Humans with superhuman powers like mana are extremely rare. Most humans are incredibly weak. They are easily swayed by demons or heretics for trivial reasons, leading to brutal consequences.
The church focuses on preventing these disasters.
It’s an incredibly difficult task. It doesn’t end with blood and tears. As someone on the battlefield, you have to risk your life.
Therefore, religious people are all like ascetics.
But when you think about it, aren’t adventurers the same?
Adventurers also live arduous lives on the front lines for someone. Fighting monsters to the death means just that. This profession has no advantages except that it’s freelance. You have to do everything with your own ability.
Compared to the respected religious figures, adventurers are just treated like thugs or gangsters most of the time.
Though the treatment is decent from D-rank onwards.
“…”
The Saintess’s direct Paladin, huh.
If I accept, will I go up to the capital and receive orders from the Saintess of Kadia, going to various places around the world for special tasks?
Perhaps that could also be called an adventurer on a larger scale. The only difference is receiving the Saintess’s orders instead of the guild’s requests.
The opponents are probably the same: monsters, heretics, demons. The work will only become a little more difficult, not different.
ㅡThere’s plenty of time.
She said I only need to decide by the time she leaves.
This was definitely an opportunity. As such, I have to consult with my wives and make a decision.
I just bought a house, so moving is a bit…
“Wow, damn.”
I really am seeing things like this happen in my life.
I’ve been rolling around in this world for a long time.
But what’s the difference between a Holy Knight and a Paladin? It seems to be a difference in rank, but is Paladin higher? Whatever it is, it’s not something to decide right away.
“…This throbbing.”
ㅡThump, thump.
Still, my heart was pounding like crazy. It’s that important. The next time I have a chance to go to the church, I should ask about the exact conditions and working environment.
“Ah.”
But if I refuse, does today’s reward just fly away?
Well, yeah.
If the reward is the right to become the Saintess’s Paladin, I can’t ask for anything else.
“So nervous.”
Anyway, I clutched my pounding heart and looked for a bakery.
Winia told me to buy something to eat.
“Elise…! I miss you…!”
I tore at my hair, drawing Elise’s face in the air.
If it were this kind of problem, I could ask Elise about various things.
Why aren’t any demon bastards showing up?
With a floating, uneasy feeling, I bought various groceries and headed home. The Saintess’s offer didn’t leave my head as I walked.
It’s hard, but it’s worth it.
It’s also an opportunity to become stronger.
ㅡWealth and fame.
I might have to travel around the world following the Saintess’s orders.
But Karin is a guild leader, and Risha owns a black magic shop. I can’t just tell them to quit everything and go to the capital with me because of me.
If it doesn’t work out, it can’t be helped.
My wives are more important to me.
Thinking that, I opened the door to the house.
“Cloudy, Winia. I’m home.”
“Darkie’s home? Did you buy something to eat?”
Going inside, Winia, wearing a pink gown and furry slippers, greeted me with a bright smile. It seems Karin and Risha haven’t come home from work yet.
“I bought various things, including sweets.”
“Hehe. Good job. Then go wash up now.”
“Okay. Where’s Cloudy?”
“Sis is still taking a bath. I felt like I was going to fall asleep, so I came out first. I’ll help you take off your equipment.”
Thankfully, Winia helped me remove my equipment.
When should I talk about the Paladin thing… Let’s talk about it at night when all my wives are gathered.
“But Darkie. Did the Saintess give you anything?”
“I’ll tell you later at night.”
“When all the sisters are together?”
“Yep.”
“What did you get?”
I received something beyond imagination.
I organized the equipment I took off and went into the bathroom. ㅡWhoosh. Steam filled the room. In front of me, I could see Cloudy’s figure soaking in the bathtub.
Is she some kind of mermaid?
“Katt’s here? Come in quickly.”
“Ah. Let me shower first.”
After showering and getting into the tub, Cloudy clung to me.
Cloudy, wet, felt like a siren luring humans.
“Celestial Demon Erection.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing.”
“More than that, Katt. What did the Saintess give you as a reward?”
“I’ll tell you when everyone’s here later.”
“When everyone’s here? Hmm… It seems like it’s not something material?”
“Correct.”
I stayed like that, sticking close to Cloudy in the tub.
Hot water is the best.
“Ah, but Karin might be angry because you came so late. Cloudy, I’m so scared.”
“Comfort her well. Karin seems to get lonely easily. Hmm, then let’s pay attention to Karin today.”
I should.
“Karin is also Katt’s prisoner. If you stir her insides with this and accept her grumbling a little, she’ll get over it.”
She grabbed my firmly erect member and whispered.
Ah, I want to put it in Karin quickly.
“Is that so.”
Would Cloudy approve of the Saintess’s offer?
If it’s her, she’ll definitely approve. She desires my growth more than anything.
“But Cloudy, how do you know so well?”
“I always know that much. It’s for Katt.”
“Hehehe, yeah.”
Anyway, I washed my body with Cloudy’s help.
* * *
“Karin is angry.”
As expected, Karin had a very sulky face. It’s certain because she’s calling me Karin instead of calling me “Noona” like usual. She’s completely angry.
Karin glared at me and came towards me.
“Karin. Quickly, come into my broad chest.”
“…”
As I opened my arms, Karin, after looking at my face for a moment, hugged me like a girl. I hugged her tightly, stroking the back of her neck.
Is this okay?
I’m so sorry that my back is about to break.
“…Karin hasn’t been able to go for weeks.”
Shocking statement.
“No, are you angry because of that?”
“Do you know how hard that is, you bastard? Should I ban you from cumming for a week? You made my body like this, and that’s what you have to say?”
Her eyes widened, and her pupils shrunk. Karin said that with such a terrifying face, gripping my back tightly as if she was going to tear it apart.
“Agh!!!!”
“Besides that, not being able to see my man’s face for a long time is also so hard, you bastard. Didn’t our husband feel that way? If you didn’t, I have no choice but to kill you now. I can’t stand being abandoned.”
There’s no way I would!
“No, no! I was so tired too! I’m sorry, Karin! Things were a bit complicated! But I tried to finish it as quickly as possible and come, but I was too late, I’m sorry!”
I immediately protested and hugged her even tighter. Perhaps my feelings were conveyed, Karin’s attitude softened a little.
“…Well, I guess so. Did you do a good job fighting?”
“I caught and killed demons. I only killed one person. He was a crazy serial killer who kidnapped kids and sacrificed them to demons.”
Hearing that story seemed to bring some life back to Karin’s face.
“Just hearing it makes my heart race… Ah, damn it, I can’t.”
Karin, who had escaped from my arms, said to my wives in the living room as if making a public announcement.
“Cloudy-yang? Winia? I’ll take possession tomorrow. You have to understand. The two of you have been together all the time.”
Come to think of it, is tomorrow Karin’s day off?
I naturally think I should do that, but what about them?
“Yeah. Do that.”
“…Well, I can’t help it. Karin Sis, do what you want. Then I should go to the Magic Tower for the first time in a while tomorrow. Karin Sis. You have to take good care of Darkie?”
Fortunately, Cloudy and Winia also agreed.
“Darkie too, listen to Karin Sis. Okay?”
Winia was talking as if she was giving instructions to a child going out to play.
“No, am I a kid?”
“Darkie is a kid.”
Somehow, she’s overflowing with maternal instincts.
“Did you hear that? Our husband, let’s go on a date together tomorrow, just the two of us?”
“I’ll serve you comfortably. Should we go to the arena?”
“Sounds good.”
Karin smiled and rubbed her face against mine.
No, why is this Noona so cute? But I still don’t know her exact age.
“Karin has taken my place…”
As I was doing that, Risha, with her ample breasts, came up to me. I couldn’t pay attention to Risha because Karin was approaching so aggressively.
“This one called for you every night, comforting herself, didn’t you hear that pitiful voice?”
“I, I heard it every day, Risha!”
“If tomorrow is Karin, then it is right that this one takes the next day. You all should know that.”
When Risha said that, they nodded.
I’ll have to comfort them for two days until my back breaks.
As I was appeasing Karin and Risha, it was dinner time. I bought a lot of groceries to cook at home. Risha immediately put on an apron, saying she would cook.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a home-cooked meal.
“So Darkie. What did you get from the Saintess? You said you’d tell us when the sisters were together.”
“Ah. Right. Just a moment.”
I forgot about that.
First, I carried the tableware and finished preparing the meal.
“Hey, me. So. Cloudy, Winia, Karin, Risha. Listen carefully. What I got from the Saintess is.”
“Uh-huh?”
When everyone was seated, I looked around at them and said.
All eyes are on me.
“So, the Saintess is asking if I’m interested in working under her? If I accept, she said she’d make me a direct Paladin. She wants me to go to the capital and do the work she tells me to do. I guess she liked the work I did this time.”
When I told them without exaggeration, their eyes widened.
“Darkie, what crazy talk are you saying?”
“What the fuck, a Paladin?”
“Isn’t that a high position?”
“Katt?”
The similarly surprised women asked me for an explanation.
I immediately summarized and explained what I had heard from the Saintess.
“To the capital?”
“So… you’re going to the church in the capital?”
Looking at their reactions, it seems Karin and Winia were the most surprised.
“If I accept the offer, that’s what will happen. But I don’t really care if I don’t. Karin and Risha have the guild and the shop anyway.”
I have no intention of going if they don’t like it.
I’m already emitting sword energy anyway.
Even without the Saintess of Kadia’s offer, there are plenty of ways to succeed. If I cause a few more big incidents and build up my reputation, the Lord of Isvant might scout me.
“What I want to hear is my wives’ opinions. That’s the most important thing to me. If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.”
“…Darkie, do you have to decide that right away?”
Winia asked in a careful tone.
“There’s some time. She said she’ll be here for a while, until then.”
“No, hey. What are the detailed conditions? Did you hear that?”
Karin said with a serious face.
I haven’t heard the conditions yet.
“I thought it would be a bit much to pry into the details, so I was going to ask next time.”
“Why didn’t you listen to that… Haa. This is too sudden, so I’m flustered…”
But if I pry into the conditions with the Saintess, I feel like I’ll be hooked.
“Hmm, so you’re going to the capital and becoming a Paladin under the Saintess? Then this one welcomes it. I would rather recommend it. But I need to hear the conditions in detail to know…”
Risha is okay with it.
But what about the shop?
“Risha Sis? What about the shop?”
It was Winia who asked that.
“This one’s shop, you say? It’s not really necessary anymore. It’s a good thing since I was planning to clean it up little by little.”
“What?”
She’s closing the shop!
I’ll have to ask about this separately.
“Um… No, this Noona doesn’t really want to oppose it either… Haa. Hey, let’s talk about it later. I think I need to think about it.”
“I’m sorry if I put pressure on you. I’m fine with anything, so think comfortably.”
“It’s a really important opportunity, but you’re fine with anything, you frozen bastard.”
“Hehehe.”
Karin looked at me with trembling eyes.
Well, I’m fine with anything.
As I was doing that, Cloudy, who was next to me, grabbed my hand and said.
“Katt. Mama is always on Katt’s side.”
“Aww.”
Anyway, this story seems to need some time.
