Chapter 18 – 5. Priest, It’s Not Anything Else, It’s Because You Are Like My Son… (2)
Eusteni, a guild located on the outskirts of town. When I entered a guild with an excessively lopsided gender ratio, it was not unusual for all eyes to immediately turn to me. Occasionally, I saw a few men other than me, but even so, men always came in as a hungry group, and even though a long time had passed, I couldn’t take my eyes off them.
I’m dying from the burden.
Now I can see ruthless people openly pointing at me. It might have been possible to hide to avoid detection, but perhaps because it was a place where ethics and morals did not apply, they were looking at each other openly, as if savoring them from the bottom up, and talking about something.
Yes, well, that’s a noble person. There were some really crazy bitches out there. They’re just staring at each other and talking amongst themselves. It doesn’t really matter since they’re not causing any direct harm to me…
“You are Priest Isaiah, right?”
When you talk to me like this, the story is different.
“Oh, yes, hello.”
I nod my head in an unmoving posture.
Green hair. A woman with her long hair, sharp eyes and her sassy nose. She tried to remember who it was, but couldn’t think of anything in particular, so her hair stood on end and her wariness toward strangers appeared.
“You are as beautiful as I heard.”
“Ahaha… Yes…”
Since he was flirting from the beginning, it was clear that his intention was to approach me. I quietly sat down next to him and snuggled up to him, and for a moment I thought my heart sank.
“I think I’m too close.”
“What do you think… Priest, do you have more time? I’d like to talk privately amongst ourselves…”
“What is that…”
I’m embarrassed. Even though it’s a gathering place for uneducated people, shouldn’t we start with a normal greeting here?
Without even hiding your true feelings. She is clearly showing her desire and has been gently looking at me with her hand on my left thigh. I couldn’t even get rid of her, so I clenched my fist and endured it.
Just by looking at his eyes, I felt like he was going to jump on top of me and roughly take my clothes off right now.
“Sorry. I have a prior agreement with the guild leader…”
“Ah… Is that so?”
When she heard that he was the guild leader, she let out an inward sigh of regret. Even though she was a vagabond bitch with nothing but a dick in her head, he said that she was a customer of his superiors, so she had no choice but to obediently leave.
“That’s too bad. Then, let’s play together later when we have time.”
“Haha… Yes, I understand.”
It was the person who tried to pick on me, but she acted good until the end and waved her hand at her as she walked away.
‘Crazy bitch…’
This is why I didn’t want to come. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been here, but I felt like I was already exhausted.
By the way, that bitch is doing that again…
It appears he was a repeat offender. Since I couldn’t do it, the green-haired idiot immediately changed his focus and went to the men at another party and started flirting with them. The man on the other side seemed to be showing his displeasure and waving his hands, but regardless, the woman was struggling as if she wanted to try it at least once.
I should say that he looked pitiful, but he looked pitiful.
“Father Isaiah? Priest Isaiah!”
“Ah… Yes… !”
“Where does it hurt?”
Ten minutes to be lost in thought. When I turned my head towards the source of the voice, I saw a man working at the counter standing in front of me, looking down with a worried look.
I was completely distracted just looking around.
“Gwae, it’s okay. Can I go now?”
“Yes, you can go straight to the office.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With those words, I quickly stand up, carrying the leather bag that I had left next to me. I felt like I had to get out of this damn place as soon as possible.
@@@@@
“Father Isaiah, thank you for your hard work in coming.”
“No. Raina. How have you been?”
When she saw me, Reina, a woman who got up from the chair, had long red hair, and bright amber eyes. She was the guild leader of the Eusteni Guild and a woman with a youthful beauty that made it hard to believe she was in her mid-40s.
And she was the one who served as the vanguard of the first generation warrior party 10 years ago.
Since she is a character close to an extra who appears briefly to help the main character and then disappears, I don’t know all the details, but I remember that she had a son and a daughter. Her husband… Her chronic illness worsened, and she was sadly widowed. She gave birth to a child at the early age of 20, and now her children are all independent and living alone.
I think it would be easier to think of it as game correction rather than thinking too complicatedly about the reason why she looks so beautiful for her age. Honestly, other than that, I couldn’t believe that she maintained that appearance at that age.
“Sit. “Would you like a cup of tea?”
“Oh, yes, thank you.”
She immediately asked me to wait a moment and moved into the room next to hers. In the quiet silence, I heard the sounds of water pouring and slurping, and even though it was only for a moment, it was time to rest.
‘It’s always the same here.’
Neatly organized desks and shelves. Her room was clean, as if she wouldn’t allow even a single speck of dust, and as expected of her being once a companion of her warrior, her interior was decorated with trophies obtained from all kinds of magical beasts and monsters.
“It’s black tea. Eat.”
“Thank you.”
She returned with black tea in both hands, smiled, sat down across from her, and handed me the teacup.
Whoop-
It tastes good. Perhaps because it was boiled directly, the bitter taste was excellent. It would be perfect if there was only sweet food here, but he wasn’t shameless enough to ask for that without notice.
“But Priest Isaiah, aren’t you wearing thick clothes?”
“Ah… This one…”
How should I answer? I avoided her eyes and thought for a moment. It was obvious why I wore layers of clothes. He was saying that he would try to control his body, which had become sensitive due to the excessively high corruption level, but there was no way that Rayna would know about this, and no, he had no intention of saying it in the first place.
“I get cold a lot. The weather is already chilly these days.”
“Is that so? That said, it’s still summer…”
“Ah… ! Didn’t you say you needed holy water? Would you like to take a look?”
“Oh, yes. “I have to check.”
I quickly changed the subject and took out the holy water in my bag and quickly placed it on the table.
Fortunately, her interest immediately changed to the holy water as the emerald-colored holy water revealed its brilliant appearance.
“Hmm…”
Raina carefully lifts the object and examines it. After looking at her for a while, she popped the cap off the flask and began to dip her hand into the holy water and taste it.
“Bishop Lisa picked it out herself.”
“Lol… Yes, that’s right.”
The more I look at it, the more fascinating it becomes.
Does this all come from experience? I had no idea even after tasting it dozens and hundreds of times, but she guessed who the holy water came from after just a quick taste.
An ordinary person can do something that even I, a priest, can’t do… For some reason, I felt like my pride was cracked.
“Then I guess I’ll have to pay a little more. “Is it okay to have one gold coin each?”
“Yes, I think that’s enough.”
Raina takes out the coin bag she had prepared in advance. After receiving it with both hands, I opened my pocket and checked to see if the number was correct.
“Huh?”
What? Did I calculate it wrong? Originally, it should contain 10 gold coins according to the number brought. But since there were five more, I had no choice but to put a question mark over my head. I guess they miscalculated…
“Priest Isaiah…”
Shocking-!
A voice that tickles my ears and makes me melt. I was caught off guard, and at that moment, I reflexively flinched as goosebumps ran up my spine.
“Re, Raina?”
“Yes, priest…”
What? What is it really? I have no idea what the situation is right now. I couldn’t tell since when Lady Raina had been making strange breathing noises in my ear, or whether she was putting her hand on my shoulder and gently scratching me with her nails.
I was even more embarrassed because I had never seen anything like this before.
“I don’t think I calculated that money correctly…”
“Money? It’s not… I’m sure I put it right…”
“That… I think I added five more gold coins…”
“Ah… That…”
Silence flows through the hall for a moment as the words end. She sighed deeply and continued her words again.
“But priest… “I’ve been hearing strange rumors amongst kids these days.”
“Is this a strange rumor?”
“I heard that a priest in that church was going around and giving it to women…”
“…”
“Isn’t that really Priest Isaiah?”
“W-what on earth are you talking about…
Gulp-
“Priest… Aren’t you a bit tight for money these days? “I’m giving this to you, so if it’s okay, can I just give it to you once with the priest?”
