At the end of the secret passage he guided us through, there was a temple of a similar shape to the one we had seen last time.

A statue of the goddess of love and an empty chapel!

Now that I think about it, it seems like there aren’t many people coming, so was it really necessary to make it this big?

“Hey, Asia, what’s all this about?”

Lisa, who was looking around anxiously, grabbed my sleeve.

“She is the saint of our Goddess of Love. She is a being who gives equal love to all living things.”

“Now, wait a minute! I never said I would do that!”

Yeah, you shouldn’t say the most important part so confusingly!

It wasn’t my choice!

“What…? Asia, you have that kind of religion… .”

Lisa looked at me with an expression like, “Do you believe in that kind of religion?”

Oh, no… That’s unfair… .

“Lisa, Asia was like this due to unavoidable circumstances. Well… at least that’s what she claims.”

Karin kindly made an excuse for me.

Excuse… right?

“Hehe, it couldn’t have been easy. Thank you for joining us.”

South… no, East said that and smiled jokingly.

Oh my, they look so similar.

I wondered why they put in this setting, but thinking about it, it seems like the production team just got tired of creating new characters and just did it over and over again.

If you fill it with the same characters like this, it can be called a sense of stability, and since it becomes a familiar space because you see it often, it is good to use it as a hideout for the main character.

Okay, to put it simply… .

“Pray to the goddess here and leave. She will grant you various benefits.”

In this game, it seems like they are in charge of options like strengthening Asia.

Last time, I gave you protection and equipment.

The knife I received then is still in good use.

Surely you won’t be granting me protection this time too?

“Prayer… Ma, that’s right, Asia!”

“Ah, no, that’s not it. This is… That… .”

Oh, anyway, that’s not it…!

If you think about it, it’s a situation that can easily be misunderstood when heard from the side.

It’s fortunate that the opponent is Lisa, but if it had been Serena…

Oops, Serena!

“Hey, hey, Mr. South.”

“It’s East.”

“Ah, yes, Mr. East. Well… One of our colleagues will be back soon, so just next time… .”

“Just offer a prayer and leave.”

… I think they won’t send it back until I pray.

What is it? Why are you so obsessed with prayer?

Does the goddess have something to say to me?

It may sound a little presumptuous, but I’m the main character, so I think that’s entirely possible.

“Whew… I’ll explain later.”

I first calmed Lisa down and walked towards the statue of the goddess.

What a truly merciful goddess.

Her smile was filled with endless affection and love.

“We call this the smile of love.”

A smile of love.

If you look at it this way, she seems like a normal goddess, but the believers are all like that.

The protection he gave was also strange.

If you’re going to do something weird to me, I hope you’ll stop this time… .

I prayed to her with such a heart.

Please, if you’re going to give me something, give it nicely!

Like the god of the underworld!

Missionary work…? I’ve never done anything like that?

I think he raised my stats because he was grateful to me for something.

however….

Why, why does it have to be so charming!

This is the most unnecessary stat!

Since she is the goddess of love, it is understandable that the related stats would increase, but since I have never benefited from a high charm stat before, I feel uneasy.

No, but what else is missionary work?

Surely you’re not saying that all this time I’ve been getting taken in by other men is proselytizing?

“Wow, you’ve become even more beautiful. It seems that the Goddess of Love is watching over you, Saintess.”

“Ah, no… This kind of thing… um… .”

Should I be angry or happy?

I think the goddess gave it to me with good intentions, but it feels very subtle to me.

While I was wondering how to react, Lisa mustered up the courage to speak to the suspicious old man.

“Uh, Uh… What is that Earthworm thing… .”

“Ah… That’s right.”

Hot, yeah!

We had to ask him something!

He knew he had defeated the Earth Worm.

Moreover, the existence of a secret cult that the townspeople probably don’t know about!

Considering the previous underground water incident, there was a high possibility that it was their doing this time too.

So, did they do some kind of experiment using people?

Maybe it’s a corpse-eater, so it kills people and eats them!

There were no normal people among those who served the goddess of love.

“That Earth Worm is… a monster I was trying to tame.”

“… Are you really going to eat it?”

“Yes?”

I became even more embarrassed when he looked at me with a look of bewilderment.

Huh? No?

“There were no Earth Worms in this mine originally. So naturally, there was no preparation. But one day, Earth Worms suddenly started appearing out of nowhere. One by one, the poor miners ended up becoming his food.”

“Now, wait a minute. If you knew all that, why didn’t you tell the townspeople? And why didn’t anyone notice it?”

Yeah, the townspeople don’t know the cause, so why is he the only one who knows?

Doesn’t that mean he let people die?

Besides, if it makes that much noise every time it appears like Lisa said, people can’t help but notice.

“… The reason is that one of the townspeople is the one who brought the Earth Worm. The one who fooled the miners by telling them not to panic at the unfamiliar vibrations. ”

“Yes?”

You brought a monster…?

“I was thinking that if I tamed that Earth Worm, I would be able to find traces of who the culprit was. But now that it’s dead, it’s hard to find.”

“Ah… I, I don’t even know that… .”

Did we make a mistake?

“No. Anyway, this won’t cause any immediate casualties, so that’s it. It seemed like we’d see results if we just waited a few more days… It can’t be helped.”

“Ugh, ugh… .”

What the heck, we made a mistake!

No, but this is an unavoidable accident… right?

“Hehe, I’m not blaming the saint. It’s just this old man’s regret. But we have to catch the culprit… .”

Then he glances at me.

Phew… Is this how it is?

“Okay, we’ll catch that criminal for you.”

This is why we came here anyway.

There was something lingering that felt uneasy, so I guess it’s right to resolve it this cleanly.

“Is everyone okay?”

“Yeah.”

“If that’s the case.”

Okay, we’ll solve this case!

“Really… thank you.”

East bowed his head slightly to us and expressed his gratitude.

“Chewy Earthworm Hole… It’s a shame though… .”

… … Let’s pretend we didn’t hear that.

***

“Huh? Is there anyone among the villagers who summoned the Earth Worm?”

“Uh… Summoning? Anyway, I heard they brought an Earth Worm to this town.”

I naturally assumed that he was brought from far away, but after hearing it, summoning seems more likely.

Because it’s fantasy!

“Who told you that? No, was there anyone else here besides us?”

“Ah, that’s… .”

I was a little nervous about how to explain this.

“Su, a suspicious old man appeared and explained.”

“… Suspicious Grandpa?”

Oh, oh oh… !

Karin packaged it as plausibly as possible without lying!

Yeah, that’s the suspicious grandpa!

Bug-faced pagan grandpa!

… No, it’s not paganism, it’s our religion… .

I don’t want to admit it.

“Um… Oh, right.”

Karin still seemed to have something to ask me, but she kissed us here anyway, perhaps because of Serena.

“, it’s sudden.”

Serena looked slightly taken aback, but she seemed to think it sounded plausible enough.

We worked hard to package the situation and barely managed to dispel Serena’s suspicions.

“So now we have to find the culprit.”

“That’s right. Otherwise, something like this could happen again.”

Yeah, if we don’t know what brought that monster on, we can’t say the case is solved.

Even though we killed the Earth Worm, the culprit must have noticed it too.

We need to catch the culprit quickly before he runs away or covers his tracks.

“Umm… How do I find it?”

“I have a good idea.”

Lisa took a hint from what the old man had said earlier and concluded that the culprit was probably among those working in the mines.

“The miners must have heard this sound. So, as the strange old man said, someone tricked them into thinking it was nothing serious and kept them working. In order to increase the number of victims… .”

“That is unforgivable.”

Serena was outraged by the cruel behavior.

Whoever it is, this is just too much!

You’re tricking people who don’t know anything into becoming food for monsters!

“He must be a fairly high-ranking person among them. If you investigate the people who manage the mines in this town, you might find out something.”

“As expected, Lisa!”

Yeah, that’s a good idea!

Let’s go right now without wasting any time!

“Oh, but those people are busy so it won’t be easy to meet them. I heard you have to coordinate your schedule with your secretary in advance… .”

Serena’s words put us in a difficult position again.

“Hmm… We can’t do it now, right?”

“Yes, anyone would find it suspicious… . Now that I think about it, the mine manager’s secretary is known for being quite revealing… .”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me at Serena’s words.

“Why, why?”

“… Asia, by any chance… .”

I had a feeling of unease in advance and built a wall in advance.

“If you ask me to charm you, I will refuse!”

Because my body is precious!

Even if it’s for the sake of solving the case, my body is never cheap!

After seeing my stubborn refusal, they whispered among themselves for a while and then started saying this.

“… Ah, from now on I will rent a room with a triple bed at the inn.”

huh?

“And Asia can lie in the middle too!”

Oh, oh?

“In order to not increase the number of victims any more, at least this one body…!”

What does this mean?

“You’ll always let me sleep in the middle of a triple bed?”

Does that mean there’s always one of them lying next to me?

Flowers in both hands… Their sweet fragrance doubles?

“Heh, you guys just wait in bed. I’ll take care of it quickly and come back.”

Then there’s nothing we can do!

I gave them a wonderful smile and decided to sacrifice one of my vaginas.

I feel like I’ve been treating my body too roughly these days, but I don’t know.

It’s more important to sleep with them than to see one of my own!

***

“Every, fascination!”

“Uh, uh… .”

And in the coal mine office I was charmed by the secretary who was in charge of the manager’s schedule.

But even though we did walk, we can’t have sex here at the office, right?

How do you plan to solve this?

“K, groan… Hey, come here!”

“Gyaat… !”

He grabbed my arm and pushed me under his desk.

Oh, really?

The secretary fiddled with the zipper of his pants, then took them off!

In the office!

“Uh, uh… ?”

“Whoa, whoa… Hurry up, hurry up and suck it! You fucking bitch!”

Crack!

“Haggut… !”

Oh, I have to do to my secretary something that only secretaries in a game like this would do…!

I feel like something is upside down.
