Cthulhu Average – 18 (2/2)

After the followers quieted down for an instant, they raised an explosive cheer After the young priest gave a satisfied nod, he turned back to the altar and waited there silently He was probably thinking that the God they worshi+pped would show a response, and was continuing to wait there, hoping for a reaction

In this situation, it’ll get troublesonore this and go to sleep, but if I do that, I can’t predict what these guys will do

Now then, what should I do? After having snatched the girl myself, I doubt they’d listen if I told them at this point that I didn’t need sacrifices after all, and if I gave the girl back, she’d probably be killed Having said that though, if I praise them well done, then the possibility that they’ll continue to do this froh

『…Untasty』

After thinking about it, I decided to compromise It’s a tactic where I tell theaveelse

Ah-, I forgot to use the cursed Tena doll Well, I guess that’s fine this time

『Eh-? Ah-… Please excuse us! Umm, did it not suit your esteemed palate?』

『Huoats──animals recommended』

『U-, Understood! U-, Um… I am truly sorry to trouble you, but is there no mistake in that you are our God?』

Perhaps they felt so withme to play the Evil God well is unreasonable, so I hope they’ll cut me some slack on that

『Indeed』

『Oohhh! Receiving your words is the acme of honour!』

『Although it did not suit my palate, it is true that you have doneAs such, I bestow this staff』

I enchanted a staff that I got froe that invaded, and teleported it atop the altar in front of the young priest I’, so I can probably dodge most of the suspicion if I hand this over

『T-, This is!? T-, To think that I would be granted a divine weapon-!』

After the young priest reverently picked up the staff that I left on the altar, first he was shocked, then he cried tears of joy

『Continue to be zealous in your faith』

『Understood-!』

Seeing the young priest bow deeply beyond the screen, I felt relieved at having so priest had held up the staff and was giving a speech to the followers, but I don’t care anymore

Even if this happens again, they’ll just be sending ain

I’ve dealt with the issue of the sabbath now, so I undid the bindings on the girl as still lying on the floor I ondering why she was so silent, but apparently she had passed out from the terror I think she was still conscious when she was teleported in here, but I wonder when she fainted

While wondering about this, Tena who had burst out from the room earlier entered the office

“Tena?”

Wondering as up since Tena showed no signs of , I called out to her ith a determined expression, she suddenly took off theStripped down to her underwear, ahtest hint of seductiveness

Perhaps because she was shy, that white skin of hers, illued faintly red

“Um… Anri-sama If you really want to no matter what, then I…”

Hearing her words, I unconsciously stretched my hand towards her──

──and shot her in the face with a darkness bullet

I’h

After having returned to her senses, Tena cleaned up the broken tea set and taken soirl, I explained to her what happened and so properly understood the situation, Tena turned bright red and apologised, but I won’t forgive her

I do think that her iven the scene that she saw, but I’m not happy with how she acted afterwards, so I’ve decided not to let her off so easily, and punish her instead

Even if I say punish to have her sit in seiza for an hour Is that all? you ht think, but to people of this world who aren’t used to seiza, staying in that unfah punishs were nu on the ground

Seeing this htly poked at Tena’s leg

“Hii-!?”

Tena gave a sensitive response as her upper body jus tingle, so she writhed about like a caterpillar Deeply impressed by this wonderful reaction, I continued to poke at Tena as trying to escape

-poke poke-

“Ah-! …Sto-! …Y-, You can’t! …Please don’t poke mee!”

-poke poke- …This is kind of fun

“And so, ill you do with that girl?”

Perhaps because the nu up now, but her face was still tinged red, and her eyes were oddly teary Because of her reaction I accidentally got into teasing her, but if I do it any more I think she’ll dislike me for real, so I’ll stop it here

By ‘girl’, she was probably referring to the sacrificial girl that she had taken care of just a while ago Tena gave her a bath and a change of clothes, and she was now sleeping on a bed in the bedroom

“I’ll return her to her parents”

Obviously I don’t knohere they abducted this girl fro both the issue of properher to her parents should be the best answer

“But, that girl seems to be a slave…”

I unconsciously froze at Tena’s words

“Slave?”

“Yes She earing a collar”

She earing, a collar? I was in a rush, so I don’t reet the feeling that the clothing that she was originally wearing was the kantoui for slaves

…crap If she’s a slave, then this changes things quite a bit If one of the cultists froht her, then it was their right to decide what to do with this girl, and actually, I who saved the girl just becaht I could search for her parents, and maybe find them, but if she was sold as a slave, then I don’t haveI can do

“And so, what do you plan on doing?”

Tena askedto finish me off, when I had sunken into silence

…What do I do?

“Hii-!?”

When our eyes ave a spasotten used to over these last few days, and the girl in question is the sacrifice from the other day

We ed to find out that her name was Lili, and that she had lost her parents in an epide more than that, and we still don’t knohere she came from, or how she came to be a slave

In the end, I couldn’t think of any ideas, so I decided that we’d raise her in this dungeon for a while at least From e’ve heard, it seems that it’ll be impossible to return her to her parents

“Lili, Anri-sama isn’t scary, you know?”

Incidentally, the one who found all this out was Tena, not rown attached to Tena who had taken care of her, and always follows her around In contrast, she’s afraid of me, and just as you saw just now, even when I try to talk to her, she immediately runs away from me
