Chapter 108 – 24. Legal Breeding License Granted by God (4)
“Uggggg…”
The first morning outside the dormitory near the church. I rolled around, stretching the muscles of my entire body, then raised my butt like a cat and stretched, barely able to raise my upper body.
I think I slept so soundly that I wouldn’t even notice if someone carried me. Is that because I changed my bed? My lower back was slightly stiff.
Anyway. I wish I could wake up and stare blankly straight ahead with half-closed eyes. The fine muscles that had not yet woken up began to move one by one, albeit belatedly.
“Huh? “Why are my mouth so moist?”
I trace my lips with my arm due to the sudden feeling of strangeness. A long line of saliva comes out. I think I slept with my mouth closed because I was so tired after drinking yesterday, but I couldn’t bear to show it to others.
Madam… But since when did I sleep…
My memory is vague. I remember playing the accompaniment, but my memories after that were blurry, like there was noise.
Originally, I couldn’t tolerate drinking this much, but as my body changed, it seemed like the limit to how much I could drink alcohol also changed.
AC, could it be that I made a mistake?
I wasn’t there alone. Sylvia was there too, so I guess I’ll have to ask her later.
As I roughly put on my top and go out, the chilly wind blows past me. I broadened my view slightly and looked around, and I saw people folding up their tents, as if they were getting ready to leave. They looked like nomads moving their belongings around in search of a warm place.
“Saint, are you awake?”
Let’s hold her in both arms and tremble. I see Sylvia coming out with a folded tent strapped to her back. I was just about to ask her what happened yesterday, when she happened to pass in front of me.
“Oh, yes. “I had a good night.”
Her person approaches her with a good expression on his face. Without thinking about it for a long time, I just introspectively said that I was drunk yesterday and couldn’t remember anything, so I asked what happened. She avoids eye contact and looks like she’s having trouble.
“Aha… That is… It’s a bit hard to say, but…”
She just asked because she was curious, but she looked at me carefully and smiled so awkwardly that anyone would feel like there was something there.
Something doesn’t feel right… As I kept stuttering and avoiding answers, it seemed obvious that I had caused an accident.
Still, I couldn’t find out until I heard the answer, so I swallowed my saliva and waited. It was just as Sylvie was about to open her mouth with a deeply distressed expression.
“Ah, saint! “Are you awake?”
Suddenly, the lively voice of a blue-haired mercenary was heard from behind. With a single smile on her face, she was definitely a woman I had never remembered.
“Oh, yeah… Ah, hello.”
First, I don’t know who it is, but when I say hello, they greet me back. Then he trudged over to me and continued speaking in a sweet voice, and the moment I heard what he said, I couldn’t believe my ears.
“Yesterday, the saint danced. I had some fun singing and singing. “I’m planning to have a drink this evening as well. Would you like to join us again?”
“Yes?”
For a moment. I dance and sing? I look back on my memory to see what this means. As I held my head as if pulling out memories that had fallen into my unconsciousness, I slowly began to remember the misdeeds I committed yesterday.
I was frozen in place by this inconvenient act that was not typical of a priest.

Tap-dag-dag-
Every time the horse kicks the ground and moves forward, the surrounding environment changes. Crossing the river downstream, climbing up the hill, passing through uneven roads.
Then, you see the idyllic rural scenes from time to time. People working in the fields stared at the long line of carriages like a train, as if they had seen something rare.
“Uhm… Eww…”
While I was looking out the window for a moment, I heard Bishop Lisa’s voice, as if she was deeply concerned. When I slightly turned my head and looked at her, I saw that I was sitting across from her, seriously contemplating which of the two cards she was holding.
“This is it.”
Zek-
He glares at two cards with the intention of breaking through them, and finally seems to have made up his mind and pulls out one. Then she frowned and checked the card, but her complexion quickly darkened as if it wasn’t what she wanted.
“Now it’s my turn to vote, right?”
“Now, wait a minute.”
When it was my turn to pick. Bishop Lisa puts his hands behind his back and shuffles the cards. Then, he held two cards in front of me for me to choose from, but instead of picking them right away, I put my hand on each card and watched Bishop Lisa’s expression change.
If you point it to the left, it will smile.
If you hold it to the right, it looks like it’s crying.
Good.
Zek-
“Oh, it’s over.”
“Madam…”
Turn the two cards you are holding upside down and let everyone see that they are the same card. An exclamation of regret coming out of Bishop Lisa’s mouth.
It was nothing else but an absurd game of catching a thief played with trump cards in this world.
Of course, the owner of the card was Sylvia, and since I had nothing more to say, I was bored, so I started by suggesting that we do it together.
“Haha, unfortunately we lost again.”
When the game ends, Sylvia smiles and retrieves her card.
Maybe this was already their 10th consecutive loss? I knew it was Bishop Lisa’s first time playing a game like this, but I didn’t know she was this bad.
I think Isabelle had told me before I started that a poker face was important, but although I was usually good at acting like nothing was wrong even when I was angry, I was making mistakes that even a novice wouldn’t make when playing a game.
“Silvia, let’s play one more round.”
“Ahaha… Is that so?”
But it happens again. I would have quit after losing 10 times, but I never knew how to give up until I won.
It looks like everyone is getting tired of it and wants to stop, but if they are burning their will like that, they can’t even get a word out.
Before I knew it, Sylvia was shuffling the cards and giving me a wink. It seems like you’re asking me to stop and do something, but what power do I have?
It was obvious that even if I told him that I was being dragged around by Bishop Lisa on a fake day, he would hear it and hate me.
Ha…
I sigh deeply and take the card back. After discarding the same cards, there are five left. The four people took turns drawing cards one by one.
@@@@@
“Ugh! “I won!”
Bishop Lisa achieves victory after twelve challenges. I thought it would be over soon if I lost, but I kept picking things that didn’t work and not picking things that I should have, so when I came to my senses, I ended up playing two more rounds.
How can I win only if I lose outright? . This was difficult to do even if someone told me to do it.
Anyway, let’s enjoy Bishop Lisa’s victory after a long struggle. A carriage comes to a shaky halt. After playing various games, it seemed like we had already reached our next destination.
“The warriors, we will unpack and disembark here.”
Let’s say that the coachman pulling the carriage has arrived. The car door opens wide. The believers who came down first escorted us so that we could come down comfortably.
“How long do I have until I get to the main temple?”
“One… “It will arrive as early as the day after tomorrow.”
I was curious, so I asked the believer next to me, and he said there were about two days left. I thought it would take four days at the fastest, but it moved faster than I expected.
Let’s get out of the stuffy carriage. Single-story stone buildings come into view. It’s not as big as the village I lived in before, but seeing that the roads and market have been somewhat improved, I feel fortunate that I won’t have to sleep in a tent today.
“The warriors can sleep at the inn here. We paid the money in advance, so if anything happens, you can come to the square you saw earlier.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Yes, I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
A believer takes the person in front of an inn that looks the most expensive at first glance and then suddenly leaves to see if he has something to do.
Since I had to come back in one day anyway, I lightly packed only what I needed and went into the inn.
“And… “This is an inn, right?”
Isabel looks around her with an inward exclamation.
Should I say that it is too burdensome to call it an inn? Everything here, from the decorations that seemed to be decorated with all kinds of jewels to the marble floor that even reflected our faces, seemed to be waiting for us to arrive.
As far as I know, inns usually double as bars, but for some reason I didn’t see a single person walking around other than the woman at the counter.
“You warriors, you are tired from the long journey. Welcome to Thabet Inn.”
“Ah yes… “I came because they said I already had a reservation.”
“Yes, you can go right up and use all four rooms above.”
Did you already finish everything before you came? The formalities are quick. As I followed the woman’s instructions and went up the stairs next to me, I saw knights in heavy armor. When I looked closely to see why there was such a decoration, I realized that it was not a decoration but a real person.
“Why is there a place like this in a small town…” .”
As if I wasn’t the only one who thought it was strange, Isabel carefully spilled her words. When we arrived, we found four rooms just as the woman said. Let’s open the door and go in. An incredibly large room welcomed me.
