221.

Time continued to flow. It flowed and flowed, and before they knew it, several seasons had passed. The demon race still hadn’t shown any significant strength. Despite the continued swarming of demons, no leader-type demon appeared. Not even Piky or Sei were to be found. In this precarious peace, Erina and the Pai Church, the Fried Church, and the kingdom each prepared for the coming demon attack…

Year after year, their vigilance lessened slightly, yet their preparations continued steadily.

In their spare time, they also built the foundations of a system to streamline internal operations. With three different races living together, simple affection born from sexual intercourse wasn’t enough to solve all their problems.

Many eventful incidents passed, and time flew by in the blink of an eye until the children were old enough for kindergarten. Seeing her growing children, Erina decided to significantly restrain herself from spreading her seed further. She’d already created plenty of futanari, so they should have no problem producing offspring even if they only had sex with each other. Furthermore, she discouraged interspecies mating. Sexual intercourse itself was fine, but in such cases, she recommended contraception. It wasn’t a complete taboo, but she created such an atmosphere.

Of course, as this was only a rule within the church, there were no restrictions on relationships with outsiders. This included simple parishioners.

They also invested effort in reinforcing the church facilities. As Erina’s children continued to grow in number, they built a daycare center to raise them, along with other welfare facilities such as a private cafe. They amassed enough holy water to fill a whole warehouse. Using the elves’ barrier magic, they reinforced the stability of the portals, making it easy to travel to already visited locations.

Thanks to Hanna and Aries’s frantic efforts, they could now utilize electricity within the church to a certain extent. Due to production limitations, they couldn’t install it everywhere, but it worked smoothly inside. It was a dream-like facility for Hanna, powered by magic without a need for a power generation facility.

Finally, Erina found a clue. Unfortunately, it wasn’t related to the demons or Sei, but to Piky. The enigmatic girl who had tormented the young lord of the Harendel region, where the church had been forcibly transferred, a girl whose true identity and depth were impossible to fathom. Erina had encountered her twice, each time struggling against a depthless darkness.

She decided to follow Piky’s trail with Levi, who had been with her during their first encounter, and Hanna, who seemed to possess some resistance. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they had nothing in the way of preparations compared to when they fought the demons. They could only prepare their resolve.

“Okay. Mom will be back. Don’t fight with each other, alright?”

“Yes~.”

Levi gently greeted her daughter. Technically, Erina was the father, but since the concept of “male” had almost disappeared from this world, she was another mother. Erina smiled, waved at her daughter, and squeezed Levi’s butt with her other hand.

Her body, already quite voluptuous, seemed even more alluring after giving birth.

Together with Hanna, who had been waiting discreetly behind, the three of them set off again to find Piky.

“Ms. Hanna, are you alright? It’s been several years since you came here… and we seem to be heading to another dangerous place.”

“Even if you ask…I’m completely used to it…. Past events feel like…a dream…?”

“You pulled an all-nighter again!”

“B-but…”

Hanna subtly opened the bag she was carrying. A sleek, metallic object. It was an unfamiliar shape, but its purpose was clear. Although she’d been advised against it, Hanna needed a means to protect herself, so she couldn’t bring herself to forbid it completely. She herself wasn’t very fond of development, but she couldn’t ask everyone else to be responsible for her safety, so she had no choice. With the help of the only expert dwarf in metalwork at the church — Roland — they were able to improve its quality.

“A gun, is it?”

“Yes. A pistol.”

There were two types of ammunition. One was filled with gunpowder, like conventional bullets. The other was a special product made by Aries, refined magic. They were color-coded, so there was no need to worry about confusion.

“I think I benefited from it last time. Oh well. Let’s go quickly. If we miss this opportunity, it might be years before we can catch her again.”

“Ms. Levi is right. Let’s hurry our pace.”

“Hmm. It was Celtia, wasn’t it? This way should be right. It’s a shame that we can only use the portal one-way.”

“It can’t be helped. To restrict people from coming from the other side would require considerable manpower and technology, they said.”

There had been proposals to create and manage some sort of pass, but if they were easily made, there would be forgery problems, and if they made them impossible to forge, mass production would be an issue, resulting in only a very small number being distributed. No matter how open and loving the church was, it was difficult to predict what might enter.

“Celtia…. Wouldn’t it have been better to go with the Orc people…?”

Hanna asked cautiously. Although they had become friendly, her cautious and introverted nature remained.

“No. Unnecessarily implying that Orcs are following humans could cause unnecessary controversy in the region.”

“I don’t know, so Erina will figure it out~~.”

Celtia was a regional city where Orcs and humans lived together, a place they had visited briefly. Most of the Orcs in that area were currently members of the church or hoped to join, but not all of them. Raising a conflict greatly contradicted the church’s principles, so they didn’t raise their voices loudly about conflicts between Orcs. The conflicts weren’t anything big, just minor policy issues. The core problem they faced was basically how to deal with the Orcs’ overflowing libido, which apparently they were currently negotiating well.

There was no need to add any fuel to that fire.

Woong—. A small makeshift building, the sound of wind echoing in their ears. It was barely a building, a structure only for stabilization, no entrance, offering only a minimal cover from the rain.

“Is everyone ready? Nothing forgotten?”

“Hey. When have I ever been one to forget things? Let’s go, let’s go.”

Even after all this time, Levi was still Levi. Her characteristic liveliness was dazzling.

“Uh-huh. Perhaps… as Levi said, it’s better if we hurry.”

Erina nodded and they all entered the portal. The wonder that made their hearts flutter every time they used it. She’d heard the explanation countless times, but she just took it for granted. She just didn’t understand things of this nature, no matter how many explanations were given.

Since it wasn’t bi-directional, they’d set it up to only connect to specific coordinate locations.

The first thing the party encountered was rain. A downpour under dark, gloomy clouds, instantly soaking them.

“Oh.”

“It’s raining, unfortunately.”

“Getting wet is familiar… but…”

To avoid unnecessary suspicions and controversies, they’d set the exit in an empty lot a little distance from the city. The three sought shelter under a nearby tree to avoid the rain.

“A downpour…is it? My bag is going to be ruined…”

“I don’t know. It doesn’t seem to be letting up. What should we do?”

“Let’s wait for about ten minutes. This is our fault for carelessly not bringing umbrellas.”

However, the rain showed no sign of stopping. If anything, the raindrops were pounding the ground with more intensity, giving the illusion that it was getting even heavier.

“……I guess we have no choice. Shall we just walk?”

Hanna hugged her bag tightly and nodded. It would be a big problem if the weapon she brought so painstakingly was rendered useless.

“It’ll be a bit uncomfortable, but I have a good idea.”

Levi gathered everyone with a mischievous smile.

“What…what are you going to do…?”

“A three-person piggyback operation. Bag safety operation♡”

“……Let’s do it.”

“Erina, even after hearing that name, you’re saying…let’s do it…? It’s not that sort of piggyback where you stick your cock in my two holes, right…? Right…?”

Erina burst out laughing at the ridiculous statement.

“What is it, Ms. Hanna? When did you become so good at making such jokes? That might also be nice, but we can’t move that way, can we?”

“Is getting wet in the rain your preference? Shall I accommodate you? Heh. Anyway, I’m going to carry you and Erina. That way, we don’t have to worry about the bags getting wet, right? The person in the middle might be a little uncomfortable, though.”

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this,… but aren’t you pushing it a bit too far…?”

“Fu-fu. That’s a fun idea. The person in the middle will get less wet, and the last one to be carried it will be the opposite.”

Levi paused for a moment, then stammered, “Yes, yes,” and laughed awkwardly.

“Ms. Hanna, what do you think? Two-person or three-person?”

“Eeee… Are we really doing this…? Two-person…I’ll be in the middle….”

Quickly picking up on this, Levi nudged Hanna with her elbow.

“Hey, you want to feel Erina’s dick, don’t you??”

“Gasp.”

Erina’s licentious nun’s habit, unchanged over the years, fluttered.

“I’ll let it slide this time? In return, I’ll be the first one to suck you off back at the inn?”

“Ugh. Alright. Let’s think about that after we get there….”

As Levi suggested, they awkwardly formed a three-person piggyback stack. It was quite an embarrassing sight, but Levi carried the two of them all the way to Celtia in that manner.
