## Chapter 131 – Isekai Milf – Saintess Arc (3)
132. Isekai MILF – Saintess Arc (3)
“…I see. So that’s how it happened, and you’ve been taking care of this child named Raul for about two months now. Am I understanding correctly?”
“Yes, Saintess.”
While High Priest Ivan guarded the door, Olivia was having a private meeting with Serena in the Saintess’s office.
Olivia had returned to the convent after the service, only to be summoned again.
She had to explain the whole story of Raul’s situation to Serena’s questions, explaining as much as she knew, while appropriately filtering out what she shouldn’t say.
She explained that he was the cousin of the general store owner but had lost his identification, so he couldn’t prove his identity. As a result, a guild member brought him in as part of the local guild’s activities. He had been living in the convent for a few months, developing his independence, and so on.
When Serena asked why he hadn’t been sent to the monastery, Olivia replied that Raul had a phobia of men, so it was an unavoidable measure. However, to make the excuse sound natural, she added, “It seems he has improved a lot since living here for a while.”
‘A cute and reliable child with an ordinary background… It doesn’t seem like there will be any major problems. Surely, the head nun wouldn’t deceive me.’
“Are there any other special circumstances?”
“No, there aren’t. Um… If I’m not being rude, may I ask why you are interested in this child named Raul?”
“Hmm. It’s not like it’s a secret. If I’m not mistaken, I sense a bit of divine power from that child’s body… Ah, but please don’t tell the other nuns. It might get a bit noisy.”
“I understand. But, divine power… That’s surprising. I thought he was unusual, but…”
Of course, everyone in the convent, including herself, knew about it, but Olivia was sweating profusely inside, acting as surprised as possible.
“Then, my aide, Priest Ivan, will accompany you… Could you please bring the child named Raul to me?”
…………………
…………………
“U-Um, I’m Raul.”
“Hehe. It’s nice to meet you, Raul, follower of the faith.”
The Saintess’s office was quite spacious.
I was suddenly having a private meeting with the Saintess. From the moment our eyes met, I had a hunch, and it turned out that the Saintess was the one who made the first move.
I was planning my next move after returning to the convent when the high priest standing next to the Saintess came to get me. His name was Ivan. He had a kind look in his eyes, so despite his high rank, I didn’t feel any uncomfortable intimidation. Moreover, seeing the way his eyes sparkled when he looked at me, I suspected he had heard from the Saintess that I possessed divine power.
While Ivan briefly left the room, the Saintess sat on the reception sofa with a gentle smile and poured tea into a cup, as if she had prepared it in advance.
It was a tea that was sometimes sold at the general store, a sweet tea called ‘Hamalo.’ It was a flavor made for women and children.
“Oh my. You don’t have to bow your head like that. Hehe… I was just curious to talk to a cute boy who was said to be in the convent. Please, make yourself comfortable.”
We sat facing each other on the sofa, with the table between us. The Saintess used polite language, trying to ease my tension, as if she was trying to relax my stiff posture.
I knew she didn’t have a sharp personality, but her hime cut hairstyle gave off a strangely strong vibe… It made people feel strangely nervous.
I drank the sweet tea on the table while we talked. Most of the conversation was led by the Saintess, with me answering her questions.
Of course, she didn’t call me here just to make small talk.
The Saintess started with small, trivial stories, spending time with me, and then naturally delved deeper into the conversation. She seemed particularly interested in my family history. I guessed that she thought she could pinpoint the source of my divine power if she could identify my bloodline.
I vaguely said that my parents were merchants who traveled around, making sure it didn’t contradict Cecilia’s claims, and cleverly avoided answering the rest of the questions.
“Hmm… I see. Ah, how is life in the convent? Is it uncomfortable?”
“Not at all. Everyone is so kind to me, and I’m very grateful to the nuns.”
I’m so tired from being gang-raped by 80 people.
The Saintess seemed to sense the comfortable feeling in my eyes. She gently brought the cup to her lips, took a sip, and then made a thoughtful expression.
Hmm. She’s beautiful, as expected. Every movement is graceful.
The Saintess, who had been silent with her eyes closed, opened them again and looked at me, then casually made a surprising proposal.
“Actually, I’m planning to provide educational opportunities to some residents during this pilgrimage. If you are interested in formally joining the Pure White Holy Order… how about coming with us to Sangclier?”
“Joining… Sangclier…”
She was telling me to go to the kingdom’s capital, where their diocese was located… It was obvious that the moment I accepted, I would be on an elite path.
Did she think she would nurture me in the Order, taking advantage of this unexpected windfall? Of course, the Saintess didn’t seem like such a materialistic person, but either way, isn’t it a good thing? If other followers heard this proposal, they would be crying tears of joy and offering prayers of gratitude.
It would be fun to completely corrupt the Order itself… but it’s also an expanded version of the convent, and I don’t want to be tied down to one place for a long time.
Even though I was playing with voluptuous and alluring female bodies all day, I hadn’t erased the romance of adventure from one corner of my mind.
“Um… It’s so sudden… and I don’t think I can make a decision on my own…”
“Oh dear. It might be a difficult topic. Of course, you don’t have to answer right now. When your parents come back to Langshu, could you please tell them what I said? I would like to meet them in person.”
Special treatment… An idea suddenly flashed in my mind.
“Yes. I’ll be sure to tell them when they come back. And um… I’m not sure about joining yet, but I’d still like to… train, like the others… because I can protect others. Would that be possible…?”
“Oh my, how admirable. Indeed… you were interested in training. Very well, I will make a schedule for you. And, if that’s the case, dealing with divine power will be important… What should we do…”
Serena readily agreed to let me train.
When she started to worry about who would be the right person to teach me about divine power, I sparkled my eyes and prepared to use my special move.
I clenched my fists tightly on my knees. I tilted my head slightly, enough to show my expression, and put a cute blush on my cheeks.
“Um, um… If it’s okay… could I learn from the Saintess…?”
“From me?”
“Yes. If I learn from someone as beautiful… no, I mean, as good as the Saintess… I think I’ll feel more comfortable… and it’ll be easier to understand…”
I deliberately stammered as if I was embarrassed, and then looked at Serena with pleading, large eyes.
“Would that be okay…?”
My fatal charm, which had a 100% success rate with older women so far.
But surprisingly, the Saintess only blushed slightly at my cuteness and didn’t show any other reaction.
“…………….”
“…………….”
A strange silence filled the room.
The Saintess made a thoughtful expression for a while, then gave her answer.
“I’m sorry, follower. I have to go and take care of other people in need during this pilgrimage… I also have a lot of other busy things to do, so I’m not sure how it will turn out. But I’ll be sure to let you know if I get the chance.”
“Y-Yeah, I guess so. I’m sorry for asking…”
I’ve never seen anyone who says ‘if I get the chance’ actually actively consider it. I should take it as an indirect refusal…
“But don’t be too disappointed. Ivan! Are you outside?”
“Yes, Saintess. You called?”
High Priest Ivan, who had been standing outside the door, naturally entered at the Saintess’s call.
“About Raul’s training… Could you please consult with the follower about the details after this? The training categories might be different…”
“Indeed… I understand what you mean. Please leave that to me.”
…………………
…………………
After finishing the consultation about the training content with Ivan, I returned to my room in the dormitory.
‘You were even thinking of taking me to the capital… Couldn’t you at least give me some personal training? You’re so earnest in strange ways. Haaa…!!’
Recalling what had happened earlier, I completely slumped and buried my face in the pillow.
I, who had always devoured older women with my cuteness, was stumped for the first time, and my head was spinning. No, honestly, it’s a bit self-deprecating to call it a one-trick pony. I was just focusing on maximizing the advantages of the resources I had been given.
When I actually saw the Saintess up close, I didn’t even think about brainwashing the people around her or anything like that. I instinctively knew that she was of a higher ‘caliber’ than me.
Actually, I had been trying to send an SOS to Louis for a few days, thinking it would be good to ask for help from the outside, but for some reason, no matter how much I concentrated my divine power to send a signal, he didn’t appear before me.
Well, it’s okay. It’s only the first day… The opportunity will always come.
I decided to think as positively as possible… but I also expected things to be difficult to some extent.
………………
The training story wasn’t just about trying to win over the Saintess. I had always been thinking about it from the beginning, when Cecilia’s general store was still around.
It’s just that I had been enjoying such a promiscuous sex life that I had forgotten about it. But now, I finally had the opportunity to receive proper training.
And the training I chose was…
The next morning.
I was in the front yard of the Tierin Cathedral, the outdoor training ground for the Holy Knights.
“This child is the one the Saintess asked for.”
“Yes, that’s right. Holy Knight MacCallin. Ah, of course, it doesn’t have to be as rigorous as the training for a formal knight. The will to learn is the most important thing.”
“Haha! Of course. Don’t worry. I know what’s important at that age.”
“Then, I’ll be going now…”
Ivan bowed lightly and disappeared into the cathedral.
And in front of me stood a tall, middle-aged man. He didn’t have a particularly fierce face under his short black hair, but the large scar on his cheek showed his considerable experience.
I decided to give up all the magical advantages of this blessed body, such as magic affinity, divine power affinity, and spirit affinity, and focus on training in close combat first.
A man is a sword. Why?
Because it’s cool as hell.
Of course, wielding magic is intellectual, so it’s good for seducing women, but personally, it’s not a very cool visual. If magic is like an acoustic guitar, swordsmanship is like an electric guitar.
What else is the romance of this world if not fighting enemies with a sword in hand?
“Hello, little one. I am Senior Knight MacCallin. I don’t know why the Saintess made this request, but it doesn’t matter. However, if you have the will to learn, I will teach you with all my heart. Do you understand?”
“Yes. Thank you, Knight!”
Amidst the sounds of swords clashing during the Holy Knights’ sparring, I nodded my head energetically and answered.
It was the first time since coming to this world that I was doing something productive for myself.
