## Chapter 137 – Isekai Milf – Saintess Arc (9)
138. Isekai MILF – Saintess Arc (9)
The Saintess’s office.
The morning’s training on divine power manipulation had ended, and as it was time to part ways, I held an empty glass bottle and abruptly asked the Saintess for a favor.
“C-Could you give me more, please?”
“Huh? Holy water… are you talking about the holy water?”
“Y-Yes…”
My cheeks flushed red, and I spoke in a barely audible voice. I had wanted to ask for more holy water before, but I held back, thinking it might seem rude. However, my thirst was growing, and my patience was wearing thin.
My body craved the holy water.
Was it similar to taking pills? Like developing a tolerance, where one pill wouldn’t be enough, and you’d need two or three to feel the effects…
I felt like I needed at least one more bottle to get my body back to normal.
The Saintess seemed to realize that my condition was unusual. She looked troubled for a moment, then spoke to me.
“Um… I’m sorry, believer. I don’t have any extra prepared… Is it urgent?”
“U-Uh… no, it’s okay. I’ll just try to endure it… *slurp*… *huff*…”
My eyes were glazed over, and I was about to lick the remaining residue in the bottle, but Serena stopped me.
“W-Whoa… um, if it’s urgent, I can make a new batch for you right now…”
“B-Really? T-Thank you!”
Serena gave a wry smile as she saw my eyes light up.
“Well, I’ll need clean water, and it’ll take some time to prepare… Would you mind waiting outside for a bit?”
“Okay. How long will it take?”
“Hmm, maybe about ten minutes… Ah, no, that’s… Anyway, I’ll have Ivan or someone else call you. Just relax and wait. Okay?”
“Yes! Yes!”
She was going to make it for me right away, even though it might be a bother. I was so grateful.
I sincerely thanked the Saintess for her kindness and left the office with a light, excited step.
Knowing that I would get more made my patience a little better.
………………
To cut to the chase, it didn’t even take ten minutes for the Saintess to use a priestess to call me back.
She didn’t seem like the type to use people for such trivial things, but perhaps she was reluctant to be seen handing me the holy water herself… It might make it look like I was getting special treatment.
From the start, Serena had asked me to keep the holy water a secret from others. And I hadn’t told anyone else either.
“You’re here. It’s ready.”
When I returned to the office, the Saintess was still sitting on the sofa, maintaining her composed and dignified posture. On the table in front of her was a new, pretty glass bottle.
And inside, the clear holy water shimmered.
“Wow… Thank you, Saintess. So, can I drink it right away?”
“…Of course. You may.”
The Saintess said this while carefully sipping her tea. Why did she seem so unnaturally stiff?
Anyway, I was happy at the thought of quenching my thirst, so I sat on the sofa opposite her and prepared to drink my extra portion for the day.
When I opened the lid, the familiar, subtle fragrance wafted up. It wasn’t like some medicinal concoction with a pungent odor; instead, the holy water sometimes had an addictive sweetness.
I lifted the bottle and began gulping it down, but I soon noticed something was off.
‘?’
There was a strange difference from usual, and when I paused, I realized that the holy water had a peculiar viscosity, making my throat feel stickier than usual.
When I pulled the bottle away, the holy water clinging to my lips stretched out like saliva, and Serena, seeing this, began to…
“Pfft! Cough… cough cough!! *hic*!!!”
She suddenly choked, stopped sipping her tea, and coughed repeatedly.
“Phew… S-Saintess? What’s wrong? Are you okay?!”
“Cough… *hic*! It’s nothing. I just drank my tea too quickly. I’m fine now.”
Serena wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and quickly continued, even though I hadn’t said anything.
“I-It seems I made a mistake. I must have messed up the proportions while making it in a hurry. I’m sorry, believer.”
“Gulp… You don’t have to say that. You made it in a hurry because of me, so I should be the one apologizing… Gulp.”
I was the one receiving it, so there was no need for her to apologize.
In fact, I felt more energetic than usual, so I should be grateful.
Now that I looked closely, there were small bubbles in it… I didn’t know what it was, but it seemed like there was definitely a problem with the proportions… Hmm. Let’s not worry about the small things. More importantly… it tastes better than usual…
My thoughts were slowing down. I felt like I was becoming an idiot.
‘Delicious… It’s so delicious…’
In my hazy mind, I slurped the holy water that stretched out like saliva.
It was richer and sweeter than usual… and most of all, it was incredibly addictive.
As I drank quickly, a few drops of the holy water flowed down and stuck to my cheek, but I carefully scooped up the residue with my finger and licked it off.
“Mmm… *slurp*. This is yummy…”
“……………………”
Serena was watching me, her body stiff. It was a bit too suggestive for drinking a beverage, but what could I do when my brain was melting with every sip?
“I-I’ll make it properly next time.”
“Uh-huh. It’s okay. What I drank today was sweeter and more delicious. Um… could you make it like this from now on?”
“…………Huh?”
“No, it’s just… I feel much more energetic with this…”
“U-Um… I can definitely feel that your inner energy is cleaner than usual. Ah, um, well… I… I understand.”
At her words, I clapped my hands like an idiot, expressing my joy.
And after a while, when it was really time to leave, I politely bowed to the Saintess and left the office.
As I closed the door, I could see through a small gap that Serena had her face completely covered with her hands, her head bowed low.
Then, the door closed.
…………………
…………………
Over the past few days.
Whenever I was in the convent after work, I often felt hazy.
Each time, I would squint, rest my chin on my hand, and then my face would turn red for no reason.
– *Gulp*… Believer Raul seems more seductive than usual lately.
– I know… It’s like he’s fallen in love… Ah, maybe he’s thinking of someone far away…
– Uh-huh. If that’s the case, I’m so jealous of that person. We’re taking such good care of him with all our hearts, with sex… Kyaa.
It was commonplace to hear the nuns whispering like this.
Sometimes, even Ramis would look at me and blush, saying that I had a seductive face. She would then act even more affectionate, asking me to hug her.
And today, after work, as I was lying face down on my desk in my room…
‘I think I know what’s going on.’
Over the past few days, I was starting to get a grasp on the strange feelings that were blossoming in Serena.
It was definitely one of Mariebi’s convenient spells.
At first, I thought it was a spell that made you fall in love. My heart would flutter, and I felt a stronger desire to make her happy than to sleep with her.
But no matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like love.
Because yesterday, I had even tried to act cute, asking her to stroke my head and praise me. If I had gone with that feeling, I would have been happy and grinned if the Saintess had scratched my chin.
This wasn’t a pure feeling like love, but a strong desire to be ‘subservient’ to Serena.
‘Well, use this opportunity to learn the spirit of service.’
Those were the last words Mariebi had said to me as she left.
I thought she was just throwing out a random command, but it turned out to be exactly what she meant.
And since she had forbidden me from having sex with the Saintess until she allowed it, she was clearly trying to make me Serena’s toy.
Was this what she meant by a gift? Well, I didn’t particularly dislike it.
The Saintess wasn’t the type to make me do unpleasant things or play with my emotions.
………………
Night.
After having sex with the nuns, I told them that I would go to bed earlier than usual and lay comfortably on my bed in my room.
I hadn’t used the crystal ball for peeping that much, but… I focused my divine power and summoned the ball after a long time.
Hmm. I guess I wanted to know what Serena was doing. As my feelings grew stronger each day, I felt like I was becoming a creepy yandere. I was even cutting down on my sex time.
‘What is it? Those two… they’re outside at this hour?’
I was trying to look inside the cathedral, but from the start, I saw the silhouettes of two people in the open corridor, so I focused on them.
It was Serena and Ivan.
What were they doing together at night?
When I zoomed in on them, I saw them walking and talking, but their pace was so slow that I immediately realized what was going on.
They wanted to talk together while walking as slowly as possible. It was the kind of innocent thing you often see in the early stages of a relationship.
Serena and Ivan walked side by side, keeping a slight distance between them.
“How was the training for the priests today, Ivan?”
“Are you referring to the priests? They were already well-versed in the basics, so they seem to be absorbing everything quickly. Recently, I’ve been teaching them a higher level of Holy Barrier.”
“Hmm, I see. Most of the priests are women… How is it? Is there anyone you like?”
“S-Saintess… I would never have such selfish thoughts while teaching the believers…”
“Hehe… I’m just joking. Just joking.”
They continued to chat like that for a while, walking slowly.
Oh man, I’m jealous…!!
“It’s not cold at all at night, and the cool breeze is really nice. Don’t you think?”
The corridor was open to the outside.
Serena’s beautiful hair gently fluttered in the breeze.
And the way the Saintess looked, with her graceful smile under the slanted moonlight, was truly… breathtaking, even through the small crystal ball.
“…………Indeed, it is. It’s… nice.”
Ivan omitted the subject, but from the faint blush on his cheeks, I could tell that he was indirectly talking about the Saintess.
Emboldened by the darkness around them, Ivan didn’t avert his gaze as he usually did, and Serena’s eyes softened in response.
“Not yet…”
The Saintess was about to say something, but then she made a small “Ah…” sound, as if she had remembered something.
“Uh-huh. I guess we should end our walk here tonight. I need to prepare for tomorrow’s work… Thank you for keeping me company, Ivan.”
“…I understand. By work, you mean the child named Raul who possesses divine power, right? Is he someone our order has taken in?”
“It’s not decided yet. Rather, he has some damaged parts inside him, so I’m helping him. If we create a good connection like this, who knows if he might join us later? He might even become a valuable pillar of the Pure White Order when he grows up.”
“Indeed… You are very thoughtful. I will keep that in mind.”
“Well, it’s not that big of a deal. Then, Ivan, I’ll be heading back now.”
“Yes, Saintess. May you have a peaceful night…”
That was how Ivan and Serena’s meeting ended.
I followed her with the camera deep into the cathedral, and she opened a door that led to her bedroom.
The interior wasn’t overly luxurious, but the size of the bedroom and the bed, which was too big for one person, clearly indicated her position. Also, the elegant frills on the bed curtains were rather suggestive.
“Hoo…”
Serena sat at a round table and took off her veil.
She sighed softly and covered her face with both hands, just like I had seen her do through the crack in the door earlier.
“……..”
In the midst of the numerous interior lights illuminating the room, she sat alone in silence, then took her hands away from her face and quietly muttered.
“Let’s not doubt the words of the Goddess, Serena. Believer Raul does seem more energetic than before…”
What was she thinking?
I thought she would just relax and read a book since it was still early, but her expression was ominous.
As the Saintess continued to mutter to herself…
“T-Then…”
She slowly began to take off her Saintess robes.
