『Month of the Cross – 24th (Morning)』
After being reborn as a Mother’s apostle, I looked at my new form, having covered the house in ice due to unfamiliar Magical power.
A perfect body like the Mother’s. Large breasts, full hips, and an Enormous Cock to match.
As I looked at my reflection in the mirror from front to back, my Dick became even harder. And before my hand even touched it…
–Blurp… Blurrururururururut♥
[Ohoooooot♥♥]
Sticky white Cock juice embroidered the transparent blue ice.
Riding that momentum, I thought of the Mother and masturbated with both hands, squirting Cock juice three times for a palate cleanser, then I poked my Cunt with one hand.
While touching my Dick with the other hand, I came grandly about twice, and then I was thinking of making an Ice Onahole and sticking it in when… the closed door swung open.
Appearing beyond it was Alex… Hehe, no, it was Blair in that form. One of the sisters who led me to a new realm.
Blair, with her striking blood-red hair, smiled as soon as she saw me and approached.
[Welcome, Lacey… No, hmm… Should I call you by another name?]
[Blair. Good morning♥ I have been reborn before the Goddess’s Blessing♥ Lacey Glyss, the pathetic male of the past, is dead. My name is Gleissia Harmonics. A glorious name given to me by the Mother♥]
Lacey Glyss… The name of an inferior male, too terrible to even utter. That male is now dead. My name is Gleissia Harmonics. The Mother’s sharpest spear. A Slave who has sworn eternal loyalty to the Mother♥
[Ahahaha♥ Okay, Gleissia, Sister♥ Please take care of me from now on. Everything is for the Master♥]
[Yes… Everything is for the Mother♥]
Immediately after, Blair and I, who had chanted words of loyalty to the Mother, simultaneously had our Balls rise, and Cock juice arced from our Enormous Cocks, once again staining the floor with freshly squeezed Cock juice.
After ejaculating mindlessly while facing each other from behind, Blair, panting, seemed to realize something and reached into her chest to pull out a black Cube.
[Hoo… I forgot for a moment. Sister. Take a look at this.]
[That is…? Aha♥ Could it be the Mother’s?]
I didn’t know the purpose of the Cube Blair took out, but the Mother’s Blessing, which could not be hidden, overflowed. I want to hold that Cube once♥ I want to masturbate while smelling that scent♥
[Gleissia, Sister, calm down first. I understand that you’re leaking Cock juice just from feeling the Master’s power. From now on, I’ll tell you the purpose of this Cube.]
[Cock juice? Ah, could it be… Hehe♥ I’ve become a Lewd body that drips Cock juice just by seeing a fragment of the Mother♥]
The Cube, as it was called, shone in Blair’s hand and enveloped the entire room.
Aaaaaaah♥ The Mother’s Blessing is caressing my body again♥
I was enveloped in a bright light where I couldn’t even see an inch ahead, but my Dick didn’t stop ejaculating.
–Bryubyuryurururururuk♥
It was a short time, but after the Mother’s light disappeared, the place where I was standing was not a frozen floor, but a pitch-black space where even the corners of the room were hard to distinguish.
And inside, I faced two very familiar faces.
[Oh my♥ Lacey has finally become a Goddess’s apostle! Congratulations♥]
[Ahaha♥ I knew it. You can’t escape the Goddess’s Blessing. I knew Lacey would surrender to the Goddess. Then, will you pay for freezing my ass last time~]
Clarice and Mel approached me with friendly smiles on their faces. Then Clarice stroked my Dick, and Mel stroked my Balls softly.
[Kyaheueung♥ You guys are something. I just came, but if you touch it again, I feel like I’ll come again♥ And my name isn’t Lacey. I am now the Mother’s loyal spear. Gleissia Harmonics! Keep that in mind♥]
[What, did the Goddess give you a new name too? I’m jealous. I want to receive a name from the Goddess too~]
[Aha! Then I’ll call you Gleissia, Sister, from now on! By the way, hmm… When Blair and the other men become Goddess’s apostles, it seems the Goddess directly gives them a new name… If that’s the case, I should have been born a man instead of a woman!]
The two seemed jealous, and their touching became increasingly rough. My Dick, which had already ejaculated several times, swelled up more and more as if responding to their touch, without showing any signs of wilting. As they pressed down on the back of my Glans and the back of my Balls, I soon reached the extreme of sensitivity♥
–Byuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryuryudopyuryuryuryuryut♥♥
[Euhooooooooooooot♥ I’m going♥ I’m going♥]
My back arched like a bow, and a mass of Cock juice, incomparable to what I had ejaculated today, whitened the black space. Moans echoed through the space, and I felt my mind go hazy.
–Clap!!
[Okay, you two, stop playing around… We brought Sister here today to give her a weapon, right?]
It was Blair’s clapping that pulled my mind, which had been immersed in pleasure after a long ejaculation, back to reality.
In my barely regained vision, Blair also seemed to want to participate in this situation, but she had apparently talked to Clarice and Mel beforehand, and she reluctantly took her hand off my Dick.
Each of them licked the Cock juice smeared on their hands deliciously and spoke to me, who was still immersed in the afterglow of ejaculation.
[Hmm♪ Gleissia, Sister’s semen is so delicious♥ Blair’s and Mel’s are also delicious, but Sister’s has a very different taste♥]
[I agree, I agree~ It’s somehow cold and sticks to your mouth♥]
Clarice and Mel pulled their fingers covered in my Cock juice out of their mouths and gave a taste evaluation.
I’m glad you’re eating it so happily♥ Soon, I completely regained my composure and remembered what Blair had said.
Weapon? Since this Cube was also formed with the Mother’s power, the weapon must also be filled with the Mother’s power… I guessed.
[Then, will you watch my back, Sister?]
[Back?]
Following Blair’s words, I turned around and saw numerous Equipment placed there.
Could it be that all of that Equipment is filled with the Mother’s Blessing?
While I was standing there dumbfounded at the Equipment, Mel walked over and threw a blue spear at me.
[Gleissia, Sister. Here, catch this.]
[This is… Could it be?]
I reflexively caught the spear Mel threw, and I knew immediately. The dark blue spearhead and the sharp tip that would tear anyone apart. A weapon the Mother had forged just for me.
In addition to that, a pink Gauntlet, a purple gun, and golden twin swords.
Ah… I see♥ It was predetermined from the beginning that I would be reborn as the Mother’s daughter… I was destined to become the Mother’s child.
Besides, those weapons… Ahaha♥ Resistance was a useless act♥
I can’t stop laughing♥ In the end, everyone will gather by the Mother’s side♥
[Okay, okay, Sister. Look at the other things too♪ Doesn’t the Goddess’s Blessing leak out just by looking at them? The Goddess prepared them all for us apostles♥]
[Aha… Ahahahahaha♥ Thank you all♥]
Now that I look at it, the revealing outfits that Clarice and Mel are wearing were all given by the Mother.
Leaving behind my unstoppable laughter, I was led by Clarice and looked around at the Equipment of the Mother that was leaking out, choosing the Equipment that suited me. Among them, what I chose was…
[Hee~ Sister. Your choice is excellent♪ That high-leg and choker. It looks so slutty. My Dick is getting hard just by looking at it♥]
[Wow! It’s so pretty♥ Those Latex Gloves and high heels seem to make Sister look even more alluring… Anyway, you really look like a slut♪]
The Equipment I chose was a skintight sky-blue high-leg with the fabric cut out at the nipples and Dick.
The back was almost half cut out in a streamlined shape, and the fabric on the lower part had already gone all the way into my ass, making it like a T-back.
In addition, earrings that emphasized the body more lewdly, blue Latex Gloves and high heels that matched the color of the high-leg. I think I chose really well♥
[That’s right… Clarice. We should give back ‘that’ which was originally Sister’s, right?]
[Ah, that’s right! I’ll give this back to you, Sister!]
Hearing Blair’s words, Clarice took out a ring stained with red and dark blue from her chest. My face momentarily frowned at the sight of it.
Because that was proof that I had recklessly sworn love during my still ignorant male days. In other words, it was proof of my past mistakes.
However, the Mother’s Blessing was also flowing from that ring. There was no way I could refuse the Mother’s gift…
[It’s a shame, but you don’t have to give it back. You can throw it away. It’s useless to me now… I want to say that, but I can’t help it♥ This ring that Clarice personally modified. I can feel the Mother’s love here too. How can I refuse that♥]
I put the ring I received from Clarice back on my left ring finger. For a moment, I couldn’t remember why I put it on this finger, but I must have thought I should put it here.
A voice that drew the attention of us who were having such a good atmosphere.
[Wait, wait, wait! Everyone, focus! I remembered when I saw Clarice take out the ring, Clarice, that parchment. Let’s test it quickly!]
[Ah, that’s right! We had that♪ Please wait a moment…]
Clarice, who had been prompted by Mel, also seemed to have remembered something big, and gestured in the air, and a heavy bundle of paper fell to the ground.
Blair, who saw the scene, also had a face as if she had remembered something she had forgotten.
[Wait a minute…. Wouldn’t it be better to use this over there than here?]
[Is that so? Well, yeah… We have to show it to Gleissia, Sister, too. We should strike while the iron is hot, right?]
[That’s a good idea, Blair! Come on, Sister. Let’s go over there, over there♪]
[Hey, you three. I still don’t understand what you’re talking about…]
[It’s okay. You’ll be able to figure it out soon when you see it, Sister♥]
The three of them whispered about something I didn’t know, then suddenly grabbed my hand and took me to the only door in the room. Just where is that place that they’re talking about? And what is the identity of that parchment…?
–Squeak…
Clarice, Mel, and Blair all had confident… or perhaps expectant expressions on their faces. Mel, who was at the very front, reached out and opened the door, and what was there was…
[[[[Welcome, apostle]]]]
Incubi with expressionless faces and erect Dicks and nipples, with skin of various colors.
At first glance, they had shapes that looked similar to mine, but I could instinctively tell.
I am fundamentally a superior being to them. They are merely Slaves.
Suddenly, something came to mind. The mass disappearance that occurred on the street one day. The number is almost 200 people.
And the number of Slaves in this place is also about 200.
Could it be that… Ahaha♥ To create such a masterpiece with those vagrants♥
[Those of you apostles over there? Don’t just stand there like idiots, come here right now and make a ‘desk’ and ‘chair’.]
[[[[Yes, I understand♥]]]]
Following Clarice’s gesture, the Slaves moved in unison.
First, 5 Slaves lowered their legs slightly and faced each other in a circle, touching their asses together, leaning their upper bodies forward and extending their hands to the ground to fix them. That was the desk.
Next, among the Slaves paired in twos, one knelt down and lay prostrate, and the Slave with their legs closed sat on top of their head. This was the chair.
[Okay, okay~ Gleissia, Sister! Come on, sit down and let’s continue talking! About this ‘Cunt parchment’♪]
[Okay, okay. I understand. I’ll enjoy that which everyone seems so confident about♥]
–Squeak…
–Squelch…
–Squeak…
–Squeak…
With those words, all four of us sat on the ‘chairs’. These chairs had special Dicks attached, and a lewd sound echoed when we sat down, penetrating our Cunts.
But it was too familiar to us, who had already been directly loved by the Mother. The insertion of mere Slaves was pleasant, but it didn’t reach the end of my Womb with just this.
Well, I didn’t expect much from Slaves anyway.
[Ahem… Okay, then I’ll explain. The pattern engraved on this parchment. This is a ‘Cunt’. It also has an incredibly powerful spell on it! It’s the kind that gives different additional effects depending on the body part where you engrave this Cunt!]
[We promised each other that we would engrave this together when Sister was reborn as the Goddess’s apostle.]
[How about it, Sister♥ Aren’t you super excited? Have you thought about where to put the Cunt?]
[Of course♥ That parchment is also the Mother’s thing. There is no apostle in this world who would refuse it. Rather, I admire you guys more for suppressing the desire to engrave that and waiting for me, who might fall at any moment♥]
While the harmonious atmosphere continued, Slaves approached the four of us, erecting their Dicks. They also had Dicks that looked like they would ejaculate at any moment, and antique teacups.
[[[[We will serve the Holy semen tea]]]]
–Byuryurururyuryut……
The Slaves began to masturbate, aiming at the teacups, and soon a thick ejaculation began. In no time, the teacups were filled with thick Cock juice.
The Slaves, who had filled the teacups with expressionless faces, left as if nothing had happened.
The pungent smell of Cock juice spread instantly. My hand had already picked up the teacup and gulped it down in one go.
[Gulp… Gulp… Phew♥ Hic♥ Guys, do the Slaves usually do that?]
[That’s right! Anyway, they’re useless except for squirting semen, or being our Onaholes or dildos, so if they don’t do something like this, they’ll lose their reason for existence, right? So we taught them♥]
[Sister, don’t worry about those Slaves. I’ll tell you more about this Cunt! This Cunt has the effect of enlarging the part it’s attached to. It also includes a Disguise Magic effect in common, so you can hide your appearance without having to use Disguise Magic! How about it! I found it with my emotions, isn’t it amazing?]
Mel wiggled her hips and spoke with a confident face. To think she could make such an expression with such a lewd body♥
[Hmm♪ Then, then, where should we engrave it♥ I’m thinking of engraving 2 on both of my Balls, and engraving one on my chest. Where are you going to engrave it, Blair?]
[I’m going to engrave it on my chest, Dick, and ass. It’s better for my chest and Dick to be much bigger, right?]
[Then I’ll engrave it on my Dick, Balls, and chest like this♥ Ahut♥ It feels good just to engrave it♥ Keuheut♥ By the way, where are you going to engrave it, Sister?]
[Hmm… I’m thinking of engraving it on my ass, chest, and Balls…]
We listened to Mel’s explanation and each engraved the Cunt. Coincidentally, we all engraved the Cunt on the Dick, Balls, ass, and chest.
We didn’t think of enlarging our already large upper and lower bodies, and chose these parts to reveal something more lewd and more vulgar.
Maybe the other girls thought the same thing.
After engraving the Cunt, the changes in our bodies happened immediately. Our already violent breasts swelled up even bigger, and our asses became more elastic and full.
Our Dicks became longer and thicker, and our Testicles became so thick that the blood vessels could be seen. Of course, it was natural that we each scattered Cock juice on our enlarged bodies.
After that, we shared various stories. What kind of sex we had with the Mother, what the Mother’s Cock juice tasted like, and how huge the Mother’s Dick was.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had such peace. If I had been human until now, I wouldn’t have been able to make such connections.
If I had known this would happen, I should have entrusted my body to these children in the forest and gone to the Mother’s side♥

~~Black Market Slave Arrival Record 107~~
<Side : Lightly Elaine>
『Month of the Cross – 23rd (Morning)』
“Keuek! Let go, let go of this!”
Why did this happen? The civil war between the Chronos Kingdom and our Ishtar Empire.
The result was the Empire’s defeat, which was the same as my defeat. As the commander, I was held responsible for the defeat and was scheduled to be taken prisoner by the Kingdom.
But now, I was in a small room filled with the pungent smell of oil, not a carriage or a prison. I was lying there, my limbs bound.
Of course, I wasn’t so naive as to just sit there tied up.
Naturally, I struggled to break free, but the handcuffs and shackles didn’t even creak. Even trying to use my specialty, Lightning magic, for some reason, no electricity flowed at all.
Is this what they mean by a rat in a trap…?
“Boss, this bitch is resisting fiercely. Should I hit her to shut her up?”
“Don’t. That bitch is a valuable product. If she gets hurt, we won’t get paid. Even tied up like that, she’s a goose that lays golden eggs for us. Just bear with it.”
The two menacing men in front of me were the ones who had ambushed the carriage transporting me to the kingdom and dragged me here.
My desperate resistance was ineffective due to the severe wounds I sustained in the war, and I was captured helplessly.
Could it be… Judging from their conversation, they were merchants dealing in ‘products’. And that ‘product’ was human beings.
They were vile slavers who illegally bought and sold humans. Moreover, these guys had been targeting me from the start.
The fact that they put on electricity-resistant handcuffs and shackles meant they had already investigated that I used Lightning magic.
I felt the helplessness of being unable to do anything but watch those bastards commit such heinous acts. If only I had a weapon…
“Hey, Boss! Doesn’t this Slave bitch have a sword and armor? They were covered in gold decorations. What are you going to do with those?”
“We’ll sell those off separately. We sell off anything valuable without exception. Isn’t that our auction house’s motto? Kkya-ha-ha-hat!”
Gold decorations…? Damn bastards, daring to sell even the Divine Beast’s equipment? You cruel money-grubbers!
“You insolent fools…!! You dare to lay your hands on the weapons and armor Blessed by the Divine Beast! Almirage’s wrath will surely punish you!”
“Oh, my…! You almost scared me into pissing myself. Keu-heuk, but what a pity, that empire you boast about. I heard that except for Princess Materi and Prince Barkle, all the royals were executed and their heads are dangling in the marketplace. Did you know that?”
W-What are they saying? What are these guys…? Are they trying to confuse me? If not, these unethical bastards, daring to insult the supreme royals with their low-class tongues…!
“Y-You’ll fall into hell… I will never, ever forgive you…! Don’t even think about trying to deceive me with such lies! I will tear out your tongues, your limbs, your necks, leaving nothing behind…”
“This bitch doesn’t believe what people say. Our guys in the empire brought us very fresh information today. While your soldiers were out, the rebels who had been eyeing the emperor’s throne completely wrecked the place.”
Lies… It’s a lie! I don’t believe it. Yes, this is false information. Princess Materi… Prince Barkle… Both of you must be safe. To do that, I must escape from these restraints as soon as possible…
“Oh, this bitch is really trying to break free? But you’ll never be able to do it with your strength~ Because these restraints were custom-made just to hold you~”
“Yeah, yeah. But here’s some good news, you’re going to be sold as a Combat slave, the highest grade of Slave. Deliciously tanned brown skin, muscular body, and most importantly, a virgin! How often do you see a Slave who meets all these conditions?”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up!! I’d rather bite my tongue and take my own life than be toyed with by you bastards for the rest of my life!”
With a Slave collar already around my neck and unable to resist, my future might be unchangeable.
But the only way to escape this humiliation… Although those who commit suicide are said not to reach heaven, there is no heaven for an incompetent soldier who failed to protect their lord in the first place.
“……Keuk, Kkya-ha-ha-hat! Did you hear that, kid? This bitch says she’s going to bite her tongue and die! Kkya-ha-ha-hat! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone like this, hasn’t it?”
“Keu-heueuk… Y-Yes, yes, that’s right. To think there’s still a moron who believes you die if you bite your tongue. I guess the empire doesn’t provide basic education.”
The slavers burst into laughter at my words, and the man who seemed to be their subordinate was wiping away tears while trying to suppress his laughter.
Have I fallen so low that even my noble resolve is being belittled…?
This is the end of this charade… I’m sorry. Princess Materi, Prince Barkle… I’m sorry for not being able to stay by your side until the end.
This incompetent Elaine, I’ll be going first…
–Kkadeudeuk…?
“Euh, euheup!! Eubeueueueueueup!!!”
The moment I tried to bite my tongue to commit suicide, a hard foreign object covered my mouth. T-This is a gag? Are these guys preventing me from fulfilling even my loyalty until the very end…!
“Hey, Slave. I’ll tell you something as a reward for making us laugh so much. People don’t die~ from biting their tongues. You just can’t talk. But if you can’t talk, your value as a product decreases, right? You have a good body, you’re a virgin, and you’re good as a Combat slave, so you’re a real goldmine. That’s why we specially gave you a gag. What do you think? We’re kinder than you thought, right?”
“Slave bitch. So always be grateful to us, and when you’re sold to your master, remember us. We filled your lacking intelligence, taught you new common sense, and saved your tongue!”
“Eup, eup…!! Eup!”
No, no…! I’d rather die than live as a Slave. So please, just kill me…
“Ah, now that I think about it. Hey, kid, is it true that the circus bitch’s animals are all over the place these days?”
“Yes, yes. The guys who are in contact with the guards told me, so it must be true. Haven’t you heard that a lot of vagrants have disappeared from the Territory recently? So the lord and the guild are working together to find the culprit with their eyes wide open. I guess they’ve pointed the finger at us. We got caught selling Slaves recently, so we’re completely on their radar, right?”
“Heo… That’s troublesome. We haven’t moved outside for long, but if surveillance animals are all over the place, we should refrain from any conspicuous actions for the time being. This auction will be our last here, so tell them to be careful until then. But… aren’t those bastards just stupid? What benefit do we get from those penniless beggars? I don’t know why the wrong arrow is coming our way.”
There are people looking for this place…?
Then please save me… Before I’m sold… Before I’m further humiliated…
Divine Beast, please protect me…

~~The Daily Life of an Orphanage~~
<Side : Yustice Gostina>
『Month of the Cross – 24th (Morning)』
“Director! We must protest to the church! They’re clearly looking down on us!”
“Calm down and compose yourself. Didn’t the church send an urgent letter? The Muse Priest who was supposed to come as an escort was found collapsed on the day of departure. Surely the church that serves the righteous Hecate Goddess wouldn’t lie.”
It is the law of nature that even the healthiest person can lose their life in a single accident. It’s not strange for something like this to happen at any time.
“That’s true, but… it’s absurd! They forced us to send an escort first, and then suddenly notified us that they couldn’t send one! If they had any conscience, they should hire an adventurer to send as an escort!”
“Isn’t it already done? Even if they try to deceive us with cunning lies, it’s ultimately an act of spitting on the Goddess they believe in. Didn’t I tell you once that suspicion without any evidence is not a righteous act? Assistant?”
“Ah… I’m sorry. I was agitated because I thought the church people were looking down on us… There are so many people who look down on us because we’re orphans…”
Assistant, now completely free from his agitation, said with an embarrassed smile.
He was a child who had been by my side for a long time, and he was an orphan who stayed to assist me even after he grew up.
Except for his quick temper, he was quick at handling tasks, and he was very diligent and capable in dealing with people, preparing meals, and packing things, so I often relied on him.
The church had invited me to give a lecture this time.
I had said in advance that I didn’t need an escort because it was a distance I could easily travel alone, but the inviting party insisted on sending an escort to show courtesy, so I had no choice but to agree.
But just a few hours ago, that Muse Priest was found collapsed in the church this morning. At least in my eyes, the Muse Priest didn’t seem like someone who would lie, even if it meant tarnishing their name.
“Well, a contract is a contract. Let’s leave quickly. Assistant, please prepare food and other supplies in the carriage.”
“Yes, yes! I understand. Director… are you really okay? Even so, to go that distance alone… If something happens to you, what about me and the remaining children…”
“Haha! That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard recently, Assistant. I understand that you’re worried about me, but sometimes it’s too much. Surely you don’t doubt my skills?”
“No, no!? I’m not doubting the director’s career as the kingdom’s chief blacksmith and the highest-ranking Exorcist… but the number of Monsters is increasing these days, and you never know what might happen, as you said, Director… so I…”
I almost shed tears at Assistant’s sincerity. But I’m quite strong, more than Assistant thinks.
The titles ‘chief’ and ‘highest-ranking’ weren’t given for nothing. Believe it or not, I’m one of the few people who have received a medal from the king, but if I say that, Assistant might get excited and go wild again.
Maybe I should tell him when he’s a little more mature.
“And there’s another reason why I’m going to the Lord’s territory this time.”
“T-That is?”
“It’s to see Clarice’s face after a long time. She hasn’t sent a letter of greeting recently, and the Muse Priest says she’s doing very well, but I’m getting old and worried unless I see her in person.”
Clarice Siete. She was one of the orphans who had a tragic past, having lost her parents to Monsters when she was young and flowing into this orphanage.
Perhaps because she had witnessed her parents’ death in front of her eyes, she was a child who had closed her heart, but with the constant efforts of the other children in the orphanage and the children in the village, she opened her heart and is now working as an adventurer with her childhood friends in the village, I heard.
She used to send a letter at least once every seven days, but recently, not a single letter has come, so I decided to head to the Territory with a worried heart.
“You mean Clarice, Sister… Come to think of it, the letters have stopped coming recently.”
“In that sense, please put my hammer and the gift for Clarice in the carriage. Then I have a place to stop by before I leave, so I’ll leave first.”
“Yes, I understand! I’ll carefully take care of the hammer!”
Leaving Assistant’s confident face behind, I got up from the chair and moved to the back of the orphanage building.
The interior of the building has a simple atmosphere with no common paintings or sculptures. Instead, the walls are lined with children’s scribbles, which are more valuable than expensive decorations.
It can be a very good opportunity for children to unleash their imagination, so I decorated the building with plain white wallpaper rather than bringing in decorations.
At first, it was a very small orphanage built with a small amount of money after I retired from the front lines.
Then, I couldn’t leave the pitiful children who had no one to rely on and no opportunity to be loved, so I continued to take them in and raise them, and as a result, the size and scale of the orphanage grew.
The world calls me the ‘savior of orphans’, but I’ve just done what’s natural. Such embarrassing titles are just embarrassing.
I looked inside the orphanage and was lost in thought for a while, admiring the colorful scribbles with a pleased face, and before I knew it, my feet had reached the door to the garden at the back of the building.
Beyond that, I could hear the chirping of larks and a noisy sound.
Ah, that’s right… Is it time for the children to play in the garden now?
–Kkieeek…
When I opened the door full of scribbles, I saw the children running around and playing affectionately beyond it. Hearing the sound of the door opening, they all turned their eyes this way.
The children with their bright eyes ran towards me, stirring up a lot of dust.
“””Director~”””
“Oh, my. Children. Were you playing well today too?”
“””Yes~”””
Children whose parents were killed by Monsters, children who were abandoned by their parents from birth, pitiful children with their own unfortunate stories.
But now, they were laughing and playing, as if they had never experienced such a sad past.
Looking at the smiles of these children makes me feel like all the hardships of the day are gone.
“But Director, where are you going?”
“Hehe~ How did you know that? Did Assistant tell you?”
“No. Whenever you go out, you always go there.”
One of the children stretched out a small finger and pointed to a space locked with a padlock in one corner of the garden where flowers were in full bloom.
Hmm, even these little children know. I don’t think they know what that place is yet, but it’s better if they don’t know now. Because that place is…
“You know that so well, you have great memories. This director is really touched.”
“””Waa~~”””
I stroked the children’s heads, and they smiled, showing their small teeth. They are precious children who are the vitality of my life.
But since there isn’t much time left, I’ll end my reunion with the children here and go do my work.
“Then I’ll be going now. You all play well without getting hurt.”
“””Yes!”””
I listened to the children’s answers and returned them with a smile, and I headed to that space. A padlock that can only be unlocked by injecting Divinity. Beyond that is…
A small cemetery with dozens of tombstones erected. Former colleagues who left without even leaving a corpse, pitiful children who died early because I couldn’t take care of them properly…
I knelt in front of the tombstones made for those who had no ties and spent a moment of silence.
As the children said, whenever I set out on a long journey, I always commemorated those who had gone first here.
It was a habit I had developed since my days as an Exorcist, for the rest of the dead and for those who had once lived together.
I closed my eyes, put my hands together, and knelt silently for a few minutes.
I just pray that the dead will reach heaven and spend their afterlife well.
If someone saw it, it might be an empty prayer, a ridiculous self-consolation, but no matter what they think, I’m just praying for the rest of those who went first.
What ended that moment of silence was a loud voice from the orphanage beyond the garden.
“Director. The carriage and weapons are all ready!”
That’s faster than I thought. Assistant. It hasn’t been long since I entrusted him with the preparations, but he’s already finished.
Then it’s time to leave.
I opened my tightly closed eyes, dusted off the dirt on my white Clerical Robe, and left the room with a light smile at the cemetery.
“Oh, it’s already time to go. Then I’ll be back. Everyone…”
‘Ga■ An■!’
“Director. I’ve loaded all the weapons and Holy Water onto the carriage. Let’s go!”
Hmm? I thought I heard something besides Assistant’s call…? Am I hearing things because I’m getting old…?

It would take about fifteen days if I went at my usual speed, but I’m worried because the Muse Priest has collapsed… If I put in a little effort, I could arrive about a week earlier.
“Everyone, please protect the pitiful children of the orphanage while I’m gone.”
