## Chapter 120 – Inspiration
◈
The chapel inside the temple still exuded a solemn and sacred atmosphere, with beautiful stained glass adorning the windows.
And above all, what stood out was the massive, nude statue of Solisin.
The last time I came, I thought the statue of Solisin might have an effect that prevented other worshippers from feeling lewd, but even now, looking at this vivid, naked statue of Solisin, I still get turned on.
I’m always in your debt for the handjobs!
I offered my gratitude to Solisin in my heart.
We sat in chairs in order: me, Elsie, Ms. Ninya, Noah, and Tina.
Tina looked around the chapel, her eyes wide.
“It’s really amazing…”
“Tina, have you never been to the chapel before?”
“No, I have. But it’s been a long time… I think the chapel is really beautiful and wonderful.”
Noah nodded at Tina’s words.
“Yeah, yeah, it’s been a while for me too. Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve seen that painting on the glass ceiling. Elsie, that’s definitely the creation myth… right?”
Elsie smiled brightly at the mention of myths.
“Yes. It depicts Solisin creating this world and the conflict with Bein. Next to it is a painting about the first hero and saint.”
“Hey, Elsie.”
“Yes, Ms. Ninya. Do you have a question too, Ms. Ninya?”
Ms. Ninya pointed to the statue of Solisin and said,
“I’ve been wondering, why is Solisin’s statue naked?”
“W-well, that’s… because it was made to resemble the appearance of Solisin that the elven saint saw in her dream…”
“Hee, I see… But Solisin’s style is amazing~.”
“M-Ms. Ninya! You shouldn’t look at Solisin with those eyes!”
“No, but Solisin is the goddess of life and creation, right? She has the perfect body to seduce men, so I’m praising her. To give birth to life… you have to have sex, right? So, isn’t it possible that she has a body that would make a man instantly hard?”
It was a very convincing argument.
“S-Solisin is someone who gave birth to life without doing such things! P-please don’t say such things!”
Elsie puffed out her cheeks and glared at Ms. Ninya.
“Ahaha, sorry, sorry, Elsie. Don’t get so angry.”
Ms. Ninya apologized and hugged Elsie.
“P-please don’t say such things again?”
“Okay, okay, I understand. Elsie is kind and very devout~.”
Sorry, Elsie.
I also agreed with Ms. Ninya’s thoughts.
And I’ve been having lewd fantasies about Solisin and giving myself handjobs until now.
But I have no intention of stopping the handjobs with Solisin.
Her body is just too hot and her face is too beautiful to stop!
Even though I know I shouldn’t, I can’t help but have lewd fantasies.
It’s the sad instinct of a handjobber.
“Elsie, let’s pray.”
“Ah, yes! Rent! Everyone… let’s pray that Solisin blesses our happiness.”
We all put our hands together, closed our eyes, and prayed.
This time, I also prayed to Solisin with all my heart, not with lewd fantasies, for our happiness.
Of course, while praying, I was thinking of Solisin’s vivid, naked body.
Just not having lewd fantasies.
Wouldn’t it be better to imagine Solisin’s appearance while praying?
I imagined Solisin’s hot body as if she were right in front of me and prayed.
Please bless us so that our future will be happy.
I’ll continue to be in your debt for the handjobs!
And tonight, I’ll imagine being attacked by monsters while doing a pole dance…
That’s when it happened.
Woo-oo-oo-oong!
I heard a ringing in my head, and at the same time, I felt like I had gained something.
And the name of what I had gained popped into my head.
Divine Dream
I could understand the effect at the same time.
It was… a skill that allows you to meet a god.
So, did I just get inspiration?
But why at this timing?
The questions didn’t stop in my head.
Could it be that Solisin gave me inspiration to preach to me because I kept having lewd fantasies?
And judging by the feeling… this is a passive skill.
Certainly, there have been unnatural phenomena while I’ve been fantasizing about Solisin.
Laughing when I didn’t even imagine it…
Being amazed by having fox ears and a tail…
Being unfamiliar with the fantasy of being penetrated by a troll…
Could it be that the real Solisin knew what kind of fantasies I was having through the Solisin in my fantasies?
…I’m scared of myself tonight.
Just in case, I’ll stop having lewd fantasies about Solisin tonight.
The Solisin in my imagination was smiling brightly, but I’m very uneasy.
“Rent?”
That’s when Elsie called my name.
“Huh? What’s wrong, Elsie?”
I opened my eyes and turned to look at her.
Besides Elsie, Noah, Ms. Ninya, and Tina were also looking at me.
“Are you not feeling well?”
“Huh? No. Why?”
“You had a very serious expression on your face…”
It seems my worries were showing on my face.
“Ah, it’s because I was earnestly praying to Solisin to bless us so that we can be happy…”
“Ah, is that so? I’m so happy that you prayed for our happiness with such a serious expression…”
“What, was that it? I was surprised because Rent had such a serious expression.”
“Hehe, doesn’t that mean he cares about us that much?”
“Rent… I, I’m going to pray to Solisin a little more too!”
Tina closed her eyes again and prayed to Solisin.
I didn’t lie.
It’s true that I sincerely asked Solisin to bless us.
But to get inspiration at a time like this…
What will really happen to me in my dream tonight?
◈
After finishing our prayers, we left the chapel and returned to the Fox’s Rest.
When we returned to the Fox’s Rest, Ms. Chercy was at the counter, and Ms. Miranda, who saw us return, came to greet us.
“Welcome back. Our Tina, how was the chapel?”
“Yeah, Mom. It was really wonderful, it’s been a while since I’ve been there.”
“Hehe, that’s good. Oh, by the way, Rent. Could you come with me for a moment?”
“Yes?”
“Mom, why Rent?”
“I was hoping he could help me with the shopping. Yesterday, everyone moved rooms, so we moved all the beds, tables, and trash cans to the fourth floor, right? So, we need to buy things to refill the second floor. I know Rent has an inventory, so I was hoping he could help.”
Come to think of it, now that we’ve moved all the beds and luggage to the fourth floor, Elsie’s room, Noah’s room, and Ms. Ninya’s room are all empty, except for the bed in my old room on the second floor.
It was only natural to prepare in advance for the next guests.
“Okay. I’ll go with you. Everyone, please rest at the inn.”
It would be enough for just me to go shopping.
“Eeeh~ I want to go too.”
Noah waved his hand and tried to follow.
But I shook my head.
“Noah, you’re tired today. Noah, you should rest. And it’s enough for just me to go with Ms. Miranda.”
“Okay~ I understand. Elsie, I’m bored, so tell me a story.”
“Yes, Noah. What kind of story would you like? A myth, a legend, or a story about the hero or saints?”
“Don’t you have any love stories?”
“Of course, I do!”
“Then I’ll go to my room and check my spear. Oh, Elsie, Noah, Tina. Could you come to my room later?”
Tina tilted her head.
“Yes? Why?”
“Hehe, it’s to decide Rent’s night duty.”
“Night duty?”
“Ah, come to think of it, there was that. Ninya, when should we meet?”
“Meet in an hour.”
“Okay! Elsie, let’s go up.”
“Yes, Noah.”
Elsie and Noah went up the stairs.
“Then I’ll go clean the kitchen. Mom, you haven’t cleaned the kitchen yet, right?”
“Yeah, please, our Tina.”
Tina walked towards the kitchen.
Ms. Ninya, who was still in front of us, winked and said,
“If there’s an empty spot when we decide the night duty, I’ll fill it with Ms. Miranda’s turn.”
“Oh my, you’re even thinking of me?”
“Of course. I even engraved my vulva… it wouldn’t do to leave it unused, would it?”
“Hehe, thank you, Ninya.”
“Then I’ll go up too. Rent, have a good time shopping with Ms. Miranda.”
“Yes, Ms. Ninya.”
Ms. Ninya also went up the stairs.
“Let’s go, Rent.”
“Yes, Ms. Miranda.”
I went shopping with Ms. Miranda.
◈
I walked around the market with Ms. Miranda and put the things we bought into my inventory.
Spare trash cans, tables, and beds.
When I immediately stored the bed, the clerk’s eyes widened, and Ms. Miranda laughed a lot.
While we were shopping, Ms. Miranda decided to buy groceries as well.
Ms. Miranda smiled brightly as she looked around at the groceries in the market.
“Hehe, thanks to Rent, buying the beds was easy. Normally, they would have arrived two days after I bought them.”
“Does it take that long?”
“The Merchant Guild is in charge of transporting goods. But they deliver many things, not just one. And if it’s something heavy and bulky like a bed, it takes time.
Oh, did you know? Retired adventurers sometimes become deliverymen or guards for the Merchant Guild.”
Certainly, if an adventurer with superior physical abilities was promoted, it would be easier to move luggage.
Come to think of it, I’ve been to many places with Elsie and Noah as guides, but I’ve never looked around the market in detail.
They were selling meat, fruits, and vegetables that I had never seen before in my life.
“Ah…”
“What’s wrong, Rent?”
There was a shop that specialized in orc meat.
So they really do sell orc meat…
“No, it’s because they’re selling orc meat.”
“Come to think of it, you said you came from another place, right?”
“Yes. I didn’t know they ate orcs as meat.”
“Hehe, it’s certainly rare for someone from another place. Orc meat is a specialty of Pladan.”
“A specialty of Pladan?”
“Yes. There are orcs outside, but there’s no place where they appear endlessly like in a dungeon, right? Orc meat is usually more delicious than pork, so it’s popular. That’s why they sell it in other countries too.
Recently, even the Holy Nation, which was very strict about monsters, has accepted orc meat.”
“The Holy Nation?”
“Yes. The largest Holy Nation that serves Solisin, Solario. Have you never heard of it, Rent?”
“…I’m sorry. I’m just a country bumpkin.”
When I was young, I spent my days training and masturbating.
“Then do you know the name of the country we’re in now?”
I know that.
“Escal.”
“That’s right, Escal. Escal is located in the east of the continent, the Knight Nation of Bridan in the west, the Holy Nation of Solario in the south, and the territory of the demons, Abyss, in the north. There are many other countries, but these three are close to Escal.
And Pladan is located almost in the center of the four countries. Because there are dungeons, there are many skilled adventurers… Officially, it’s Escal’s territory, but it’s almost considered an individual region.”
“I see.”
Honestly, I thought there might be something like a Holy Nation since there was a temple, but there really was a Holy Nation.
…I thought it wouldn’t be bad to travel to various countries instead of just challenging dungeons.
“While we’re buying, we should buy some orc meat too.”
Ms. Miranda walked towards the place that sold orc meat.
Ms. Miranda greeted an older-looking woman who was selling orc meat.
“Hello, Ms. Faylin.”
“Welcome, Miranda. We have fresh meat today.”
“Hehe, then give me three pieces as usual.”
“Okay. But who’s the man next to you?”
The woman called Ms. Faylin said to Ms. Miranda with a sly smile.
“Could it be… have you finally found a new husband?”
Ms. Miranda blushed, put her hand on one cheek, and waved her hand.
“Oh my, no. This child is… the one who will become Tina’s husband.”
But we have mixed bodies.
“Oh my, oh my, oh my, so you’re going shopping with your son-in-law?”
“Hehe, yes.”
“When did Tina catch such a fine young man? Hohoho, okay, then I’ll give you one more piece as a service. You’re still young, so you need to eat a lot and gain strength.”
“Thank you, Ms. Faylin.”
After buying the orc meat, Ms. Miranda and I returned to the inn.
I put the beds in my inventory, but the groceries were put in the market bag that Ms. Miranda brought.
Of course, it was my job to carry it.
When we arrived at the inn, Tina greeted us.
“Welcome back!”
“We’re back, Tina.”
“Tina, did you clean well?”
“Of course! Oh, and…”
Tina paused for a moment, took a breath, and said in a voice that only we could hear.
“We decided on the night duty… it’s Mom’s turn today.”
“Oh my.”
It seems that the one who will use the strength from the meat that Ms. Faylin gave us will be Ms. Miranda, not Tina.
