＊

I headed to Lucia’s room.

After last night’s battle, which felt like a war, I carried the unconscious Sola and laid her down in Lucia’s room.

Sola and Anna’s room was a mess from the aftermath of the battle, and Anna was unconscious in my room, so there were no other empty beds.

It didn’t seem like those two rooms could be used as bedrooms anymore.

Even if Anna cleaned diligently, she couldn’t do anything about the large cracks in the wall.

Simply repairing them wouldn’t block the now-chilly sea breeze, and the unstable exterior walls meant there was a risk of collapse.

“I need to finish moving before winter comes…”

I muttered to myself and hurried my pace.

To be honest, I still didn’t know if taking them out of the island and settling down somewhere else was the right choice.

But with monsters and devils attacking one after another, and the building itself badly damaged, we needed a new home.

We needed a house that was not only safe but also provided a sense of stability, so I thought it would be better to find a new place to live than to protect this monastery.

While sorting out my thoughts, I arrived in front of Lucia’s room.

First, I entered my room, which faced Lucia’s room.

There was no direct damage, but due to the intensity of last night’s battle, decorations hanging on the wall and objects on the drawers had fallen and were scattered on the floor.

I quickly gathered the things I needed and turned around to leave the room.

And at that moment, my bed caught my eye.

Unlike the messy room, the blanket was neatly folded and placed on the bed, properly angled.

It was clear that Anna had tidied up.

Yesterday, Anna and I were on this bed…

“Crazy… what are you thinking?”

I shook my head, scattering the images that had popped into my head.

I could feel my face burning hot in an instant.

A priest imagining lewd scenes and blushing…

I was so pathetic that I felt annoyed.

“… No, stop thinking about it.”

But even so, the scene kept popping into my head.

No, more precisely, the feeling I had felt so briefly right after regaining consciousness…

I raised one arm high and slapped my cheek hard.

“Snap out of it.”

After banishing the distracting thoughts with the stinging pain, I left the room and opened Lucia’s door.

“Ah,”

Kunat was sitting next to the bed where Sola was lying, just as Anna had said.

Not in her usual cat form, but as a female demon with red skin.

With orange-red skin somewhere between an orange and an apple, and horns that emitted a vivid crimson color like old blood.

With long, curly green hair that reached her chest, she was a sharp-looking beauty with a lustrous glow all over her body.

I hadn’t noticed properly since I always saw her at night, but now that I saw her, she was dressed in a way that was practically like wearing nothing.

I barely managed to stop my gaze from heading towards her cleavage.

The rein that stopped my gaze was anger.

“You…”

“Wait, Bill… no, Theodore. Can I speak first?”

“…”

I sighed.

After barely suppressing my anger, it was a sigh that seemed to exhale the remaining heat.

After averting my eyes, I first checked on Sola.

Her sleeping figure looked like a normal sleeping person at first glance.

However, when she woke up, it was impossible to know whether Sola or the demon would be in control.

The one who had entered Sola’s body was a great demon that couldn’t even be compared to the demons who had entered Lucia and Anna’s bodies.

It wasn’t someone who would simply hide if you beat them up, so I had to be fully prepared as well, so I didn’t have time to argue with Kunat.

“Spit it out.”

“It wasn’t me.”

“What?”

“The demons’ invasion last night wasn’t my doing.”

“…”

Because she wasn’t in cat form, Kunat’s expressions and gestures seemed more vivid than usual.

She looked almost pleading.

She looked as if she would kneel down right away if I even raised my voice once.

“Let me explain the situation. So… please put down your fists and just listen.”

“…”

“I know you can’t trust demons. I know you can’t trust someone like me. But I’m really frustrated, so I’m begging you like this. No matter how cunning a demon is, it won’t resort to begging in front of humans, just as people won’t use tricks to catch bugs, let alone beg them.”

Kunat kept talking incessantly in a truly earnest voice.

In contrast, I replied briefly in a low voice.

“Are you saying I’m a bug?”

“Ah,”

Kunat covered her mouth with both hands, bowing her head and trembling.

The sight was so funny that I almost burst out laughing.

On the other hand, her appearance, which was so different from usual, raised a big question.

The Kunat I knew would never beg like this, so what suddenly happened that made her so scared?

Was she really frustrated, or was she afraid of being punished for doing something terribly wrong to me?

Well, it’s not something to worry about.

Of course, it’s the latter.

“Okay, let’s hear it.”

However, I decided to listen to Kunat for now.

In fact, I didn’t know how I ended up in this situation either.

After I attempted to commit suicide with the monster, I woke up to find a demon diligently licking my genitals between my legs,

I defeated the demon and went outside, and there were more demons filling the monastery.

And in the process, both Anna and Sola had their bodies taken over by demons.

In fact, that was all the information I had.

I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened while I was unconscious.

“First, I’ll explain from when you jumped into the sea with them…”

Kunat seemed a little relieved and began to speak.

I brought a chair and placed it in front of Kunat, then sat down and listened to Kunat’s explanation.

＊

Kunat continued to explain diligently.

She was very cautious when she told me that Anna had made a contract with her to save me,

And when she said that the Succubus, who had taken over Anna’s body, had given her a warning in advance, so she was able to avoid anyone dying, she showed a humble attitude while firmly asserting her own achievements, trying to please me as much as possible.

After a brief praise for my performance in the final battle, and an explanation of Sola’s current condition, Kunat took a deep breath and watched my reaction.

I listened to her to the end in silence, then quietly opened my mouth.

“So, in the end, you want to say that those demons came here not because of your intention?”

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. They came to interfere with you and me and kill us. I didn’t call them at all.”

“Was your plan to use me to gain an advantage over other demons that threatening to other demons?”

“That’s right. You’re not just any exorcist priest, are you?”

“So, in the end, is it right that this whole mess happened because of you?”

“That’s… yes.”

“…”

“…”

“Haha,”

“Ahahaha…”

We looked at each other and gave awkward smiles.

I looked at Kunat and put my hand in my pocket, then continued to speak.

“Okay, I forgive you.”

“Theodore, please think again just once…. Ah?”

“Well, it can’t be helped. It’s true that they came because of you, but in the end, the one who felt threatened enough for them to come directly was me.”

“…”

Kunat’s face twisted strangely in real time.

She looked like she was thinking, ‘Did this bastard eat something wrong?’

I smiled and continued to speak.

“You did well. It must have been a big deal for you too.”

“… That’s right, it was definitely a desperate crisis. To be honest, I didn’t expect you to open your eyes. I’m a demon, so it’s not my place to say this, but this can only be explained as a miracle of the Goddess.”

“Maybe. The Goddess is watching us, even a demon like you.”

“…”

“Well, since judging sins is not my job but hers, I won’t hold you responsible for this invasion of demons any longer. Okay?”

“Hmm…”

Kunat put her chin in her hand as if she was thinking about something for a moment.

Kunat, who was touching her lips with her coquettishly stretched-out index finger from her chin, gradually began to smile slyly as if she had realized something.

She slowly crossed her legs and narrowed her eyes, then opened her mouth.

“Why are you being so kind to me all of a sudden?”

“Me?”

“If it were you normally, you would have just activated the needle without asking anything, wouldn’t you?”

I nodded.

“As I said just now, this is not your fault.”

“I’m really surprised that you think so.”

“Do you dislike it?”

“Of course not. Do demons necessarily have to be enemies with priests? I would welcome it if I could have a good relationship with you.”

Kunat, who had been groveling just a moment ago, gradually returned to her unique sly attitude as if nothing had happened.

She slowly released her crossed legs.

It was as if she was deliberately showing off her thick thighs.

Without realizing it, my eyes quickly fluctuated towards her smooth skin, fleshy legs, and the shaded valley between them.

As if trying to scatter my gaze, Kunat swung one leg in the air.

It was like a peacock spreading its wings.

She stretched one leg that was floating in the air towards me and gently placed it on my knee.

“Anyone who saw it would think you had feelings for me.”

“Haha, you have a big dream.”

Kunat smiled with a flushed face.

“Isn’t that so?”

“…”

“Really?”

＊

Kunat thought, watching the priest’s unusually friendly attitude.

‘The spell seems to be working properly.’

In fact, when she saw the priest’s angry expression when he entered the room a moment ago, she thought that such a shallow spell had been broken long ago.

That’s because the divine power he showed last night far exceeded Kunat’s estimated power of the priest.

Divine power that even overwhelms the Devil King.

The concentration of that clear golden light was almost reminiscent of Sandalphon.

Who is Sandalphon?

The angel who killed the most demons, the most case studies of demons dying, and the particularly ferocious crazy bitch among the Goddess’ servants, the angels!

Kunat couldn’t help but be shocked to see the priest fighting demons while wearing golden lightning reminiscent of Sandalphon.

Even when he was angry and beat her up and put a needle in her chest, he was hiding his true power until the end!

That’s the only way she could think.

‘The rumors are great, but I never thought it would be more than that.’

Father Theodore was originally notorious among demons.

The fact that the demons ran over in shock as soon as they heard the news that Kunat was trying to use him was proof of that.

But no matter what, she never thought that he would be hiding power comparable to an angel.

If she were to receive that level of divine power head-on, no matter how Kunat was, it would no longer be a level of pain she could enjoy.

Should she completely revise her plan to use the priest?

She was seriously worried.

Of course, she had already made enemies with most of the demons, so there was no corner to return to.

But what was this?

The spell, which she thought was an insurance policy or a trivial prank, had such a big effect.

“Anyone who saw it would think you had feelings for me.”

Kunat cautiously placed her bare leg on the priest’s knee with a nervous heart.

If it were him normally, he would have kicked her foot with his fist and immediately punched her in the abdomen with divine power.

“Haha, you have a big dream.”

Unbelievable.

He laughed?

Kunat almost had a big smile on her face.

It was a very fresh experience for her, who had experienced all kinds of things, to see Father Theodore being so obedient to her.

But it was still too early to rest assured.

He was a rare clergyman who thoroughly adhered to doctrine and principles.

He strictly adhered to the principle that all sins are judged by the Goddess, not humans, so he might not be blaming her.

Of course, he knew that the principle didn’t apply to demons, but…

Kunat carefully opened her mouth.

It was a tone of voice full of expectations, with a half-doubtful and half-expectant tone.

“Isn’t that so?”

“…”

The priest couldn’t say anything.

He just blushed and averted his eyes from Kunat’s legs.

Kunat was even more surprised and asked again.

“Really?”

“Ah…”

“Oh my god.”

Kunat screamed in her heart.

If this priest really had a liking for her due to the spell, wouldn’t that powerful power she saw yesterday become hers!

No, it wasn’t just that.

Not the power, but the priest himself…

“Hmm…”

Kunat slowly moved the tip of her foot, which was on his knee, gradually over his thigh, and then between his thighs.

It was as if she was trying to stimulate him by stroking his legs with a slow and smooth movement like a large snake.

She could feel the priest’s shoulders trembling.

Kunat boldly stretched her leg forward.

Her bright red foot, like a fresh fruit, was approaching the source of sexual desire between his legs.

“Ah, I can’t stand it anymore.”

At that moment, the priest grabbed Kunat’s ankle.

“… Huh?”

“Kunat,”

“… What’s wrong?”

The priest opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“As I said just now, I won’t blame you.”

“…”

“About the demons invading.”

“… Th, Billy? If you squeeze my leg too hard, it hurts…”

The priest’s hand, which was holding Kunat’s ankle tightly, began to tighten her ankle more and more.

Soon, a force strong enough to crush her ankle was firmly placed on his hand, and Kunat was able to realize that she was wrong at once.

“But.”

As expected,

Anger gradually began to surge in his calm voice as well.

It was as if the embers that had been alive and unquenched under the ashes were beginning to burn again.

“The fact that you pressured Anna with my life to force a deal.”

“Ah…”

Was the spell not working?

Or was the anger over having the nuns bond with the demons too great, even though it was working?

Kunat frowned at the pain of her ankle burning.

Golden mist was wrapped around the hand that was holding her ankle, and acrid smoke began to seep out from the point where her hand and foot met.

“And, the fact that you cast a spell on me to make me feel kind to you.”

“…!”

“This is a different story, isn’t it?”

Ah,

She’s been had.

“Were you pretending, knowing everything?”

“To lower your guard. I’m too tired to argue with you.”

“You… you were playing with me.”

“You were trying to play with me too.”

The priest muttered in a low voice.

It was a voice like a beast growling.

“Then, were you also pretending to glance at my legs while I was moving them?”

“…”

“… Oh?”

“I’m getting annoyed because I’ve been talking to a demon for too long.”

“Hehehe”

He slowly put his other hand into his pocket and soon began to take something out.

“You left this behind.”

“Ah… Billy, please.”

Bolina’s Needle.

It was the needle that the Devil King had removed in advance after cutting off Kunat’s neck, before she reconnected her body.

It was an object she didn’t even want to hold, so she threw it in the corridor full of filth, but he seemed to have picked it up anyway.

“You said only the Goddess judges sin…”

“Yeah, I’m just doing this because I hate you.”

“What kind of… that’s nonsense!”

“The Goddess will judge my sins.”

“… What kind of priest is this?”

The priest grabbed Kunat by the collar.

Then, he slowly took the needle to her eye and said.

“I take it out even if I put it in your chest, so I’ll have to put it in your head this time.”

“… Hehehe,”

Divine power close to an angel, personality no different from a demon.

How could she miss such a thug?

Kunat raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“No matter how I look at it, you’re a Great Devil. I have to take you to Hell.”

“Shut your mouth.”

Kunat screamed at the golden heat that pierced her head.
