Chapter 16 ~ High Priest and Angela, Elizabeth’s situation, Tilika’s master
I want to invite Crook and Silva to , but unfortunately they are nowhere to be found Although the details for their mission are not public due to confidentiality, it seems that they are on a mission far away from town When I think about it, they were not at Gorbas Fortress last ti the Harpy raid, I wonder if it was good ti Probably the latter
It’s for the best, though I’m sure that once they find out about this they will burn with jealousy,the situation more complicated
As soon as we arrived at the city, Ann straightaent to h Priest and ask hi an apostle was a top priority This is what Ann told me about what happened
“State your business, Sister Angela”
“Actually, for the ti, I’ve decided to h Priest first”
” Oh, your relationshi+p has gone that far Congratulations You have ”
“Thank you very much With that said, I would like to use our shrine for our wedding”
“Sure, of course you can I’ll have the organizer arrange it for you So, there are two other girls beside you Ah, they’re those kids”
During this time, I didn’t know that Tilika was another candidate, hence the number
“Lately, even in our shrine, there is a faction that deamy doctrine”
There are various people within the shrine At thethe whole shrine’s welfare
“There is onethat I would like permission from you”
“What is it?”
“I want to enter Masaru’s party as an adventurer, I think”
“…regarding the ress? Is he the ‘one’ after all?”
“Err, umm, about that…”
“Don’t tell me!? Is that the truth?”
I’ve barely started giving h Priest sa as usual
“U that!”
High Priest looks at Ann
“I’h Priest Since I’ve been transferred here, I knous I didn’t reht that if I had one, then it would be a person like you But…”
“Yes, I’ve always thought of you asa topic about us being a fa the question”
“I don’t want to tell a lie to High Priest But, I don’t want to cause problems for Masaru either…”
“I understand I’ll not press this matter anymore I’ll keep it in ht?”
“Yes Please forgive h Priest…”
“It’s fine You’re going to be aMasaru as an emissary of the shrine, and also for my sake”
“Yes, High Priest”
“Please don’t make that teary face now Besides, I would like to hear about your recent stories with hiether with him at the fortress”
After that, as if we’re avoiding the topic of an apostle, we keep on talking about ordinary things and get my applica
tion to join Masaru’s party accepted
When we’re ready, then we better tell High Priest the truth together
I also heard about Ellie’s current family circumstances back at home
It was at night, on the bed after our first time
When I think back it was the same for Ann too, so I take it that the wo bed talk
This is going to be the third girl that I’ to handle on my bed, therefore I’m able to keep a calm demeanor But it’s a different case for Ellie She knows that this is her first time, but she still acts like she wants to take the lead, whichjust to suppressfast due to overexcitement
“Are you okay? Let’s stop it tonight, we can always continue this next time…”
“He, hey, I’, you hear! No-now, continue it quickly!”
Ellie is currently in her skiot out froety, plus her moist hair makes her looks much sexier
I had already ether with Sati in the bath beforehand, while Ann askedvoice But this kind of response from Ellie is new, so it kind of elicits a fresh mood
MOE
But even though Ellie is a fine 17 years old, she is still your average everyday girl I better start it gently, for her sake
It a shaht turned on
“Iyahn”
It was dark inside the room now, so my approach kind of surprised her The cute h
“Do you want this roohter?”
“N-no, that’s not it I just thought that it’s kind of quite dark now…”
That’s right There is a lamp at the bedside I don’t want tothat I’ the lae from her for a while
Ellie’s face now is quite visible with the presence of the light It looks like she has calmed down a bit too
“N-now, let us continue”
She said that she is prepared, but fro voice I think she is not quite yet
“Then, lets start with kissing”
“Eh? T-that’s right We start fro first, o-of course”
What, why so scared? I’, you know What a terrible oing to stoop so low and initiate that kind of act As a matter of fact, I will carefully take care of you, step by step, until you’re ready Very carefully
“Ahnn”
We have the whole night to savor this I’ll start from a kiss!
Elizabeth’s fah they’re not a fa, with a force not to be underestie of security at the border, in the fortress that’s always in conflict with the demons
There are still soh it’s said that they are relatively ses and towns that were destroyed if they were built at unprotected places But the fortress where Ellie ‘s father was stationed had sufficient defense, to the degree that it would have been impossible to fall But Ellie’s father, for some reason mobilized the troops from the fortress
Not long after, the fortress fell
To recapture back the fortress, he received help froht corps and the army from the allied adjacent territory However, h the fortress had already invaded the Eed
While recapturing the fortress, Ellie and Nania’s dads found their demise At that time, Nania san also participated in the battle
Elizabeth’s brother succeeded their father’s position But, as the head of the fa the troops froned to a smaller territory Not only that, their status was also lowered from Earl to Baron
“The whole situation happened because of a dirty lie Our fa lord!”
Apparently, the pig lord is the commander of the adjacent troops at that time
He ca this e, [The nearby border line is likely to be broken into ed with the defense of the fortress at that time
We had a bad relationshi+p with the pig lord, but that was not a reason to doubt what the knight Order says Although the Order is technically under the Kingdo there is no co that their position is at the top of our army
But the fort was emptied The head of the Order said that he never issued an order like that Both Ellie’s dad and his confidants died There are a few soldiers that vaguely know the real situation, but their statemented at best, and sorunts This story was confiruess based on the situation and the fragments of the information
There is suspicion that the Head of the Order and the pig lord are in this together
The tiether to strike at the deood to be believable
“Soed to pretty much unearth the plan of that demon But, further than that, I don’t have any idea on what to do I can’t prove it either Even if I said that this whole farce was planned from the start, there’s no way they will hear us out since both the pig lord and the Head of the Order are in this together Because of that our family was not immune to the imminent crush”
Proof and evidence is necessary to start a trial against a noble with a higher status These nobles are protected, which is why the Truth Officials are unable to take action Moreover, if you cannot prove their wrongdoings even after dispatching the Truth Official, you will incur even bigger punishment
Even the pig lord would be cautious with movement from the Palace Truth Official We can sniff around all ant, but the possibility to find the evidence is close to nil
An interrogation can only belord has deceived Ellie’s father, or if she found witnesses She failed to get either one, so there’s nothing that can be done
No ht out the armies is a truth that can’t be denied They onder, who is the person that is responsible for bringing down Elizabeth’s fa to overtake their territory, who is a person responsible for allowing the fort to be e lots of death, and who is the person that truly saved the fortress?
Notto cooperate because they are afraid of the ier
Ellie’s family seat was moved to the other settlement
The new place requires the use of ement comes hard
That’s why Ellie and Nania san has been sending most of their reward money as adventurers back to their hometown
“Nania will stop sending her reward money soon So, I hope that Masaru can help me from now on”
“Okay, I’m fine with that”
I don’t kno much money that they need, but I can say confidently now that earning on that we fought earlier can be easily beaten by me now
“That’s one of the reasons Nania became an adventurer To beco After that, she wants to kill the pig lord and regain our old territory”
After becoroup met Olba and then they joined his Dawn’s Battle Axe after a year or so
“After I beco that I didn’t before, the reality To return back our faht in the old territory is i s lord, I’ll definitely take his head one day”
I too hope that you will successfully kill that pig lord one day, Ellie
When I woke up the next , I checked the status menu and Ellie’s status is now available As expected, the loyalty points will only rise up after I’ve done her alright Or ht
While thinking about such things, I turned over and was presented with Ellie in her nude glory, sleeping ever so peacefully crap, I’ain However, if I were ever to touch her body during her sleep without permission, then her ry, rather than be in good mood
Should I wake her up for another round? nobody is at ho that can interrupt us
I try to, but Ellie is awake and scoldsthat she’s not in thebath This is tsundere!
Tilika’s master came on the day before our ceremony He is a first-class Truth Official of the Eood person I invite hiether the three of us have a talk
Tilika’s circumstances are also quite bad This is the story that I heard fro ceremony
“I had a parent But I no longer have connection with them Master is the only person that I have now”
“You had?”
“I was sold when I was still a kid That’s why er exists”
Tilika’s household was poor in the first place, then she was sold over to Truth Officials after they had discovered her e the fact that she was sold over
“At that tiht thatthe parenting Since I’ve come there, Drain had taken care of me”
