“Is this it?”

I went to the church dedicated to Euva based on Ruby’s ht in the middle of a tavern street

The actual church also looked like a bar in the outskirts of town

Is this really a church?

Well, Ruby wouldn’t lie to me —

For now, I should open the door and try going in

“Well, it really is a bar …”

Shelves stocked with bottles and a long counter

It was totally a bar Can’t be anything but a bar

Then there was a woman behind the counter

“Hm …? Who are you, never seen you around?”

The dark-brown skinned wolared at me with narrowed eyes

She had a white shi+rt and a waistcoat on … must be a bartender

Well, I totally made a mistake

I sighed and said

“… I think I mistook the place Say, is this a church?”

“Church? Of course it’s a church What else d’you think it look like?”

“Maybe a bar, or a bar Also, could be a bar …”

“Anyway, as you can see, I’m your humble priestess round these parts”

“No, well, you totally look like a bartender, and priests don’t call themselves humble, or do they?”

“Well anyways, sit down custoot nuthin to do, you did, I’ll have a round with you”

“Priests don’t call their believers customer do they …”

There’ll be no end to it if I retorted each and every time so I meekly sat down on the seat

With a fullin one hand, I sat face to face with the woman behind the counter

“The na ti our believers away, and I don’t get much chance to pray, too”

“Churches don’t norht …”

“The believers don’t cootten married, and I’m left all alone out here Sheesh, I’m lonely here, y’know”

Rania gulped down her drink

There was a line of booze leaking out from her lips … so sexy

“… well, yeah, it does get lonely when your friends are all married”

I don’t get where she’s going with this but I decided to chat with her

“Oh, you understand? Seriously, right? … then when I went to the wedding they noticed and threw the bouquet at ht At Me Told ’eonna beit anyway”

“… so you caught it”

No, but, I ca with a woman over a drink

“See, it’s not like I’uy that I’oing to desecrate the priesthood I told therow so thirty and still all alone just cuz you chickens don’t have the guts to rush in”

“… o, oh”

“It’s like that, y’know, life goes on and lotta things happen — have a drink and spit out what’s stuffing your chest I’ll lend you an ear”

glance, Rania gave lance

I see I see, so that’s why she told me her life story all of a sudden

If she told me her story first then it would make the mood easier for me to tell her mine

That kind of concern just barely made her seem like a priestess Barely

But then again—
