Chapter 307 – Chubby
—That’s right… !
Not once, but twice, a roar erupted from the huge door at the end of the vast hall, forcing even the devout Celestials in their midst of prayer to turn their gaze toward it.
“What, what?”
“What the hell happened… Wasn’t the door of rest just a sculpture?”
“Could it be that the rumors that the most divine person resides behind that door were true…!”
Door of rest.
Estella, the heavenly god, said to have rested after destroying the giant evil that threatened the world in the beginning. It refers to a magnificent sculpture that visualizes her myth.
Most of the followers couldn’t even know what was behind that door, so they couldn’t even express emotions other than surprise and bewilderment.
However, the moment they noticed the change, the door was already firmly closed.
The two twin paladins, who protect the most secret places of the church, remained silent as if they had never made a fuss and just stood there in an extremely reverent posture.

Ophelia greets Wolfgang with a blissful smile.
“Ehehe. Come on in, oppa!”
“Hmm.”
Ophelia excitedly took Wolfgang’s hand and dragged him, like a puppy that had heard her walk for the first time in a few days. If she had a tail on her hip, she would have been spinning 360 degrees by now.
When the door opened, what appeared there was a long, dark passage.
With a few candles burning dimly, the place was bright enough to barely distinguish what was in front of it.
A look that somehow makes me feel strangely deja vu.
It was certainly not the first time that Wolfgang had passed through a narrow passage of this kind.
Wasn’t the passage leading to the imperial palace’s treasury and the secret base located beneath the Arena of Prominence, the largest arena in the empire, also structured very similarly to this?
This was already the third time I had a similar experience.
Come to think of it, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Arena, and the Cathedral of the Celestial Church are all old structures built during the time of the first emperor. Maybe a thousand years ago, it was fashionable to have secret passages like this.
‘I’ll have to ask Master next time I see him.’
Thinking so, Wolfgang fully enjoyed the touch of Ophelia’s white, beautiful hand that held his hand tightly.
Did you walk for about 3 minutes like that?
— Knocked up!
“Here it is!”
As the two reached the end of the aisle, Ophelia slammed open the wooden door in front of her eyes. For some reason, it was a door that made me feel a sense of life to the point of nostalgia.
“Oh…”
Hehe. Somehow I’m embarrassed!”
And, of all the types of rooms Wolfgang has ever seen in his life, he faced the most sacred yet cozy space.
As soon as he entered, the first thing that greeted him was the soft, cozy smell of sandalwood that gently brushed his nose. It was the same kind of scent that Ophelia’s hair and her body smelled of.
In general, the bedroom where a person spends the longest time has a unique body odor. It seems the same goes for the saintess’s room.
The inside was much more spacious and comfortable than expected.
Rather than a private room, it looked more like a small temple.
I passed through a dark passageway, but the place itself had a well-lighted structure, and clear sunlight fell comfortably from the ceiling and windows.
A bed in one corner of the room and a small table next to it. There was a dresser for grooming, but no closet, and it seemed that the nun who held her saint’s maid brought new clothes every day.
After looking around, it looked no different from any ordinary woman’s bedroom, except that most of the furnishings, including large and small furniture, were made in white.
The small altar rising in the most well-lit place, the symbol of Heavenly Protestantism, and the burning incense on it seemed to tell us that this was the saint’s room.
Overall, a great interior that is elegant and frugal, yet mysterious and luxurious.
As soon as he entered this place, Wolfgang smiled and opened his mouth, feeling somehow at ease.
“It’s a nice room.”
Although it was Ophelia who shrugged at Wolfgang’s praise.
“Ehehe. I think so too! It’s a world apart from the group dormitory at the convent!”
“Are the convent facilities so poor?”
At the same time, her memory of her convent came to her mind, and she shuddered slightly.
“Hmm… It’s not bad, but there’s a whopping six people sharing a room!”
“Oh, that’s a bit.”
Hearing Ophelia’s words, Wolfgang immediately shook her head.
It’s a very obvious thing to say, but Wolfgang is also a soldier, so he knows the inconvenience of living in a group.
There was a time when the four of us shared a room during our officer training camp, and it was normal for four grown men who were always moving vigorously to rub their bodies against each other, giving off an indescribable smell.
It is natural for roommates to have big and small fights.
‘Hey, Vernon. Please wash up and come in.’
‘What are you talking about, I washed it clean! This is what Chase smells like!’
‘This bastard? It still feels like shit, but who are you fucking with?’
The situation is the same in times of war.
Commanders like Wolfgang were given personal space, but the battlefield was such a green space.
When his circumstances were not going well, he too was forced to sleep in the same space with his subordinates.
‘Now that I think about it, I don’t know how I endured it.’
Now, a luxurious night spent with a warm skin with a woman is no different from everyday life.
Even in the not-too-distant past, Wolfgang had lived a pretty hard life. Of course, if he hadn’t had that experience, he wouldn’t have known the value of him now.
In the midst of that, I was reminiscing about old memories for a while.
—Pook!
“Brother! What are you thinking?”
“Ah. I thought about the past for a while.”
Ophelia, who had tilted her head, naturally leaned against him.
It was a sanctuary for a saint who would not allow others to visit.
Therefore, all the furniture here was tailored to the physique of an ordinary adult woman, and the small and cozy chair placed under the table could not handle Wolfgang’s huge size.
So Wolfgang was sitting on the bed right now, but a man and a woman were sitting together on the same bed, and naturally a sweet atmosphere rose.
“Brother, thank you so much for coming here today. I missed you so much!”
“So do i.”
How long has it been since you and yours truly enjoyed a leisurely time together like this?
Of course, she was Ophelia, who had been with her on a deserted island for weeks and had been with her on polar missions, but she couldn’t be the same then and now.
It is the so-called difference in atmosphere.
However, Ophelia, who had been fiddling with the calluses on the inside of Wolfgang’s grip, suddenly puffed up her cheeks like a hamster and complained.
“Ah, that’s a lie! My brother must have had a lot of fun playing with the princess or Agnes! You haven’t even thought of my face in the meantime, have you?”
“…I can’t do that. If you’re far away, everything you want to see is the same.”
“Huh?! What is that subtle steaming! Is it really real?”
A drop of cold sweat ran down Wolfgang’s back at the subtly sharp point.
Actually, Arien’s name should have been added there, but she was Ophelia who had no way of knowing that fact. Instead of continuing the uncomfortable topic, Wolfgang began to tickle Ophelia’s chin with his fingers.
— Tickling…
Ophelia immediately closes her eyes and accepts his touch with a pleasant snort.
“Huhhhhh! What kind of pet am I!”
“Oops, it’s so lovely, stop it.”
“Hot! Sa, how lovely…! Hmmmm! Oppa, you’ve become very explicit in your expressions.”
“Why, don’t you like it?”
“Sir, I don’t hate it…”
Fortunately, she seemed to quickly relieve her mood with a light act of affection.
It was possible because Ophelia, along with Agnes, was very obedient to Wolfgang.
Come to think of it, none of his women noticed the relationship between him and Arien.
In fact, her relationship with Arien was the most difficult relationship to reveal in front of others. She intends to keep it a secret from the public for the rest of her life, but at least it is a fact that she will have to reveal to her lovers someday.
How long can you keep that secret hidden?
‘… Let’s think about that later.’
Putting aside his worries that could not easily be answered, Wolfgang slowly stroked Ophelia’s curly light blonde hair and said,
“How have you been?”
“I’m always the same! I pray, bless the congregation, and sometimes go on business trips far away when the Pope’s grandfather asks. The life of a saintess isn’t very fun. Ehehe…”
The first priority was to spend time with Ophelia, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
—Malkan!
However.
“Hmm?”
“Why, why, brother?”
Wolfgang, who was stroking Ophelia’s waist, suddenly felt a slight discomfort.
The texture is quite different from the last time I touched something. It felt like something a little softer and softer.
“Ophelia, you…”
“Kyaaaaagh! That, stop! No mentioning!”
Have you gained some weight?
At Ophelia’s strong request, Wolfgang quietly swallowed the last words.
