Episode 127 – Welcome to the Holy Land of Love!!

The interior of the cathedral was enormous.

Towering ceilings and rows of grayish-white pillars supporting the cathedral dotted the landscape, with long chairs exuding a luxurious reddish-brown atmosphere placed in the pews.

Despite it being lunchtime, many people were sitting in the pews praying, but the nuns and priests, the most important figures, were nowhere to be seen.

After briefly looking around, I could see the colorful stained glass located at the far end of the cathedral’s choir loft, emitting various colors of light and illuminating the interior of the cathedral.

The stained glass was composed of three panels: in the very center, a woman with a see-through cloth draped over her body had a man’s head between her legs, wearing a benevolent smile; on the left, a woman with severed limbs was being strangled by a green-skinned orc while impaled on his dick, her face filled with ecstasy; and on the right, a figure was kneeling on all fours beneath a black horse, expressing fluids from its eyes and mouth, with its tongue lolling out.

‘Those… stained glass… they all look like goddesses…’

Upon closer inspection, the face of the benevolent woman in the center, and the faces of the women on the left and right, panting in pleasure, all resembled each other.

The cathedral’s elegant yet vulgar atmosphere, a seemingly mismatched yet strangely natural ambiance.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to see such images etched into the stained glass of a holy site, especially in the largest cathedral of the Netorare Goddess’s churches.

Swallowing hard at the sight of the seemingly happy goddess in every panel, I gazed at the stained glass depicting the green orc’s and the black horse’s enormous dicks, covered in bulging muscles, and slowly, lust began to stir within me.

“Ah… this is… definitely a bit… u-unique.”

“Oooo, is this what cathedrals are usually like? It’s kind of… raunchy~”

As I was about to turn around upon hearing my husband’s bewildered voice and Sui’s cheerful tone from behind, a clear voice tickled our ears.

“Indeed, those who know nothing might find it vulgar.”

Turning my head towards the source of the voice, a nun was slowly approaching us.

She was a beautiful woman with glossy, shimmering pink hair, gently curved, kind-looking slit eyes, and compassionate, slightly smiling red lips, but her lower half was far from gentle.

Her breasts were so full and swollen they seemed about to burst, with a slender waist, and a large ass that swayed seductively as she walked, as if tempting others.

Covering such a body was nothing but a large white cloth with a hole in the center for her head, simply draped down, and tied at the pelvis with a pink string.

Furthermore, she wasn’t wearing a bra, and in the center of the pure white cloth, her erect nipples proudly showed themselves off.

Seeing her appearance, both saintly and compassionate yet possessing the lewdness of a whore, my husband opened his mouth and widened his eyes.

Well, I understand, but it still feels a bit unpleasant to see him staring so mindlessly when his wife is right next to him.

I poked his side a few times, and after confirming that my husband had snapped out of it, I turned my gaze back to the nun, who was still wearing a benevolent smile, and opened my mouth.

“Hello. You can call me Grace.”

As I briefly bowed my head in greeting, the nun pressed her hand against her chest and bowed her head politely, saying,

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Claudia, a servant of the Goddess of Love.”

“Nice to meet you!! I’m Sui! Eyo!!”

“Pleased to meet you. I’m Ian.”

Claudia, her benevolent smile deepening at Sui’s energetic exclamation and Ian’s polite greeting, spoke as if singing.

“Hehehe, yes, I know. A lark from the City of the Mountain whispered that you need help in this city.”

“A lark…?”

“Yes, we know that you are in a very, very difficult situation, and we are willing to help if you wish.”

“If you really know everything… would it be alright to talk somewhere else?”

“Of course, please follow me.”

“Ah! And there’s also a person named Amania with brown skin, if she happens to come here, could you please guide her as well?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to tell them separately.”

“Thank you.”

Claudia, wearing a kind smile in response to my gratitude, nodded her head and began to walk somewhere.

And we were led by Claudia into a room.

Looking at the overall antique scenery, I sat down on a plush chair, thinking rudely, ‘So, selling vaginas by the city unit makes you a lot of money, huh?’

With me on Ian’s left and Sui on his right, Claudia, after saying something to another nun outside, sat across from us, maintaining her kind smile, and opened her mouth.

“Now, let’s talk about Grace-yang’s curse first, shall we?”

“Y-You mean the choker, right?”

“Yes, hmm… it’s my first time seeing an artifact from the Mythological Era, so it’s quite fascinating… Ah, would it be alright if I took a look for a moment?”

“Yes.”

With my permission, Claudia slightly lifted her butt and leaned her upper body towards me, bringing her head closer.

As she did so, her gravity-affected breasts swayed seductively, revealing her side-boob, and Ian immediately looked in that direction, swallowing hard.

‘Well… I saw it too, but… tsk, my breasts are bigger though…’

It’s definitely big for a human, but you can’t beat a Holstaurus when it comes to breasts.

Nevertheless, feeling a sense of competition for no reason, I unknowingly pushed my chest out, then snapped back to my senses with a ‘Hot!’ and pulled my chest back in.

Claudia, slightly widening her narrow eyes at my action of puffing out and then retracting my chest, shined her brown eyes as she looked at me, then gave a sly, suggestive smile before composing herself as if nothing had happened, and reached out her hand.

And she touched the heart-shaped choker around my neck, saying,

“Hmm… fascinating. It’s faint, but our Goddess’s power is also infused within it.”

“That means…”

“Yes, since our Goddess’s power is infused to some extent… it seems I can tamper with it a little.”

“….!!”

As I stared with wide eyes, Claudia, wearing a benevolent smile, continued,

“But please don’t get your hopes up too much. I can only tamper with it a little, after all.”

“Still… thank you.”

“Hehehe, you’re welcome. Hmm… are you very tired? I’ll show you to your rooms. Let’s rest for today and talk tomorrow. We have some preparations to make as well.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“Don’t mention it…”

As Claudia, still wearing a benevolent smile, was about to stand up, I couldn’t help but open my mouth.

“Excuse me… Claudia-ssi?”

“Yes?”

“Why… why are you being so kind to us? Of course, I’m grateful for your help, but… um… I’m sorry. Was I too rude?”

Regretting my words after saying them, I grabbed the ends of my hair and twisted them around my fingers.

Claudia, looking at me as if I were cute, brought her face close to my cheek and answered with a gentle smile.

“Hehehe, you seemed like a very cold person at first… but you’re actually very kind. How cute. Hehehe.”

“Ugh… ugh…”

Embarrassed by her words, I blushed and turned my head away.

“Hehehe, so adorable…”

Then, she opened her slit eyes and stared at me with glistening eyes before closing them again.

Feeling as if I were being eyed like prey, I shuddered, and Claudia opened her mouth.

“Well… let’s stop the teasing here. The truth is… we’re not helping you for free either. Since you said you would support our cathedral in the City of the Mountain… we’re helping the person who gave birth to the child of a god as a reward for that.”

“Ah… I see…”

“Hehehe, don’t look at me like that… I’ll get excited…♥”

As Claudia, having opened her eyes again, licked her lips seductively while looking at me, I felt a strange chill and nodded without saying a word.

Claudia, looking at me with a slightly disappointed expression, looked back and forth between the other two and said,

“Then I’ll send someone right away. Please… rest comfortably today.”

* * *

Later, we were joined by Amania, who had a refreshed expression, and we all rested in the cathedral.

For some reason, I couldn’t sleep, so I left Sui and Ian, who were sleeping soundly, in the room and went outside.

Perhaps because it was night, the interior of the cathedral was extremely quiet, but from the windows that were open here and there, the city’s commotion was coming in along with the soft moonlight.

The faintly audible moans of women and the hearty laughter of men, along with the chaotic conversations, all those noises spread out softly like the city’s breathing.

Wearing a white see-through nightgown, I slowly walked until I reached a place with a balcony.

And leaning against the railing, I began to admire the city, revealing its lights in the moonlight.

Desire burns as brightly as the shining lights.

It was as if the entire city was burning with desire, so much so that I could understand why God in the Bible from my past life washed it away with a flood.

Even from the balcony, which could be said to be high, I could feel their desires, their joys, their sorrows, their pains.

As if possessed by something, I began to blankly stare at the pulsating heart of the city.

Suddenly, I thought of last night’s sex.

What’s the difference between a city with a desire that burns itself out and me, who couldn’t resist a moment’s desire and ended up surrendering my body?

At the same time, I thought, ‘Wait, isn’t that what people are supposed to be like? Even if you think about the future, make plans, and move forward, isn’t it human to be frustrated by desires and other things?’

I feel like I’m getting emotional for some reason.

Looking at the coldly shining moonlight, it feels as if my heart is being washed away as well.

And naturally, memories of my past life also come to mind, but I close my eyes, cut off the memories, and turn my gaze down to capture the city, burning itself out and enjoying itself, in my eyes.

The past is just the past, didn’t I promise? To enjoy the present and live.

“Puhahaha….”

So the present is important.

First, let’s solve my husband’s erectile dysfunction and go to the Orc’s holy site to strengthen his sexual function even a little, then maybe some answers will come out.

‘Seriously, I have to take care of everything for my darling, from A to Z…’

Well, I don’t dislike it though.

Is it because I’ve never been relied on by anyone before?

Thinking of my husband, my heart warms and a silly smile comes out.

Well, I think it’s still okay! Thinking that, I try to picture Amania in my mind, and my heart tingles.

Hmm… is it a little dangerous?

While looking down at the city with such thoughts, I heard someone’s footsteps.

Turning around, I saw Claudia, wearing a nun’s habit and her usual kind smile, approaching me and starting to look down at the city.

“Ah, Claudia-ssi…”

“Hello. The night air is nice. Hehehe.”

“Yes… um… ah! The city is full of life, it’s nice to see.”

“Thank you for the compliment. It’s our pride.”

Answering a little awkwardly, remembering the way she looked at me like prey in the reception room earlier today, I soon asked naturally.

“Still, it’s fascinating. So… are all the people here… prostitutes?”

“Hmm… well, most of them are… They’re all gentle lambs who follow the Goddess’s teachings well.”

“…. The ordinary housewife I saw shopping this morning was also selling her body very naturally… even ordinary people…”

Claudia, nodding as if she understood my words, answered with a kind smile.

“Hehehe, I understand. It’s probably a scene that outsiders can’t understand.”

“I’m sorry if it was a rude question.”

“No~ it’s alright. You’re kind enough compared to those who start by cursing. Hmm… it’s an unavoidable thing because of our doctrines.”

She whispered, looking at me with compassionate eyes.

“Shall I tell you?”

“Yes… well… I’m a little curious. Hahaha.”

“Oh my! I’d love to! These days, people don’t seem to be interested in the city’s stories at all! Hehehe, how delightful. Well then~ I’ll tell you Grace-student’s story right away.”
