episode_0018

Eusteni, a guild located on the outskirts of town. When I entered a guild with an excessively lopsided gender ratio, it was not unusual for all eyes to immediately turn to me. Occasionally, a few men other than me could be seen, but as always, men came in as a hungry group, and even after a long time had passed, they couldn’t take their eyes off them.

I’m dying from the burden.

Now I can see ruthless people openly pointing at me. It might have been possible to hide to avoid detection, but perhaps because it was a place where ethics and morals did not apply, they were openly looking at each other from the bottom up, as if savoring them, and talking about something.

Yes, well, that’s a noble person. There were some really crazy bitches out there. They’re just staring at each other and talking amongst themselves. It doesn’t really matter since they’re not causing any direct harm to me… .

“You are Priest Isaiah, right?”

When I spoke to him like this, the story was different again.

“Oh, yes, hello.”

I nod my head in an unmoving posture.

green hair. A woman with long hair, sharp eyes, and a high nose. I tried to remember who it was, but nothing in particular came to mind, so my hair stood on end and my wariness towards strangers naturally emerged.

“Just as I heard, you are very beautiful.”

“Ahaha… . yes… .”

Since he was flirting from the beginning, it was clear that his intention was to approach me. As I slowly sat down next to him and snuggled up to him, I thought my heart was going to drop.

“I think it’s too close.”

“What do you think… . Priest, do you have more time? I’d like to talk privately among ourselves… .”

“What is that… .”

I’m embarrassed. Even though it’s a gathering place for uneducated people, shouldn’t we start with a normal greeting here?

Without even hiding your true feelings. She clearly shows her desire and has been gently looking at me with her hand on my left thigh for some time. I couldn’t even get it off, so I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth and endured it.

Just by looking at his eyes, I felt like he was going to jump on top of me and roughly take off my clothes at any moment.

“Sorry. I have a prior agreement with the guild leader… .”

“Ah… Is that so?”

When she hears the word guild leader, she lets out an inward sigh of regret. Even a tramp-like bitch with nothing but a dick in her head said that she was a guest of her superiors, so she had no choice but to meekly retreat.

“It’s a shame. Then, let’s play together later when we have time.”

“Haha… . Yes, I understand.”

She was the one who tried to pick on me, but she acted nice until the end and waved at her as she walked away.

‘Crazy bitch… .’

This is why I didn’t want to come. No matter how long it’s been since I’ve been here, I feel like I’m already exhausted.

By the way, that bitch is doing that again… .

It appears he was a repeat offender. Since I couldn’t do it, the green-haired idiot immediately changed his focus and went to the men at another party and started flirting with them. The man on the other side seemed to be showing his displeasure and waving his hands, but regardless, the woman was struggling as if she wanted to try it at least once.

I should say that he looked pitiful, but he looked pitiful.

“Priest Isaiah? Priest Isaiah!”

“Ah… . yes… !”

“Where does it hurt?”

Ten minutes to be lost in thought. When I turned my head towards the source of the voice, I saw a man working at the counter standing in front of me, looking down with a worried look on his face.

I was completely distracted by just looking around.

“Trigram, it’s okay. Can I go now?”

“Yes, you can go straight to the office.”

“Yes, I understand.”

With those words, I quickly stand up, carrying the leather bag that I had left next to me. I felt like I had to get out of this damn place as soon as possible.

@@@@@

“Father Isaiah, thank you for your hard work in coming.”

“No. Raina. How have you been?”

When she saw me, Reina, a woman who got up from the chair, had long red hair, and bright amber eyes. She was the guild leader of the Eusteni Guild and a woman with a youthful beauty that made it hard to believe she was in her mid-40s.

And he was also the person who served as the vanguard of the first generation warrior party 10 years ago.

Since he is a character close to an extra who appears briefly to help the main character and then disappears, I don’t know all the details, but I remember that he had a son and a daughter. My husband… A chronic illness that had existed for a long time worsened, and she was sadly widowed. She gave birth to a child at the early age of 20, and now all of her children have become independent and live alone.

I think it would be easier to think of it as game correction rather than thinking too complicatedly about the reason why she looks so beautiful for her age. Honestly, other than that, I couldn’t believe that she maintained that appearance at that age.

“Please sit down. Would you like some tea?”

“Ah, yes, thank you.”

She immediately asked me to wait a moment and moved to the next room. In the quiet silence, I heard the sound of water pouring and slurping, and although it was only for a moment, it was time for me to rest.

‘It’s always the same here.’

Neatly organized desks and shelves. The room was clean, as if not a single speck of dust would be allowed in, and as befits her as she was once a companion of a warrior, the interior was decorated with trophies obtained from all kinds of magical beasts and monsters.

“It’s black tea. Enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

She returned with a cup of tea in both hands, smiled, sat down across from me, and handed me the teacup.

Whoop-

It tastes good. Perhaps because it was boiled directly, the bitter taste was excellent. It would have been perfect if there were only sweet food here, but he wasn’t shameless enough to ask for such a thing without notice.

“But Priest Isaiah, you’re wearing thick clothes, aren’t you?”

“Ah… . This one… .”

How should I answer? I avoided her eyes and thought for a moment. It was obvious why I wore layers of clothes. He was talking about how to control his body, which had become sensitive due to the excessively high corruption level, but there was no way that Rayna would know about this, and no, he had no intention of saying it in the first place.

“I get cold a lot. The weather is already chilly these days.”

“Is that so? That said, it’s still summer… .”

“Ah… ! Didn’t you say you needed holy water? Would you like to take a look?”

“Ah, yes. I have to check.”

I quickly changed the subject and took out the holy water in my bag and quickly placed it on the table.

As the emerald-colored holy water revealed its brilliant appearance, fortunately, her interest immediately changed to holy water.

“Hmm… .”

Raina carefully lifts the object and examines it. After looking at it for a while, she popped the cap off the flask, dipped her hand into the holy water, and began to taste it.

“Bishop Lisa pulled it out herself.”

“Hehe… . Yes, that’s right.”

The more I look at it, the more interesting it gets.

Does this all come from experience? I had no idea even after tasting it dozens and hundreds of times, but she guessed who the holy water came from after just a quick taste.

An ordinary person can do something that even I, a priest, can’t do… . For some reason, I felt like my pride was cracked.

“Then I guess I’ll have to pay a little more. Can I just have one gold coin each?”

“Yes, I think that will be enough.”

Raina takes out the coin bag she had prepared in advance. After receiving it with both hands, I opened my pocket and checked to see if the number was correct.

“Huh?”

what? Did I do the math wrong? Originally, it should contain 10 gold coins according to the number brought. But there were five more, so I had no choice but to put a question mark over my head. I guess they miscalculated… .

“Priest Isaiah… .”

Startle-!

A voice that tickles my ears and makes me melt. I was caught off guard, and at that moment, a shiver ran up my spine and I reflexively flinched.

“Le, Raina?”

“Yes, priest… .”

what? What is it really? I have no idea what the situation is right now. I had no idea since when Lady Raina had been making strange breathing noises in my ear, or whether she had been putting her hand on my shoulder and gently scratching me with her fingernails.

I was even more embarrassed because I had never seen anything like this before.

“I think I calculated that money incorrectly… .”

“Money? It’s not… . I’m sure I put it right… .”

“That… . I think I added five more gold coins… .”

“Ah… . That… .”

Silence flows through the hall for a moment as the words end. She sighed deeply and continued speaking again.

“But priest… . I’ve been hearing strange rumors among kids these days.”

“Is this a strange rumor?”

“I heard that a priest in that church goes around and gives it to women…”

“…”

“Couldn’t that be Priest Isaiah?”

“Dae, what on earth are you talking about… .

gulp-

“Priest… Aren’t you a bit tight for money these days? I’m giving this to you, so if it’s okay, can I just do it once with the priest?”
