“Hmm. I see.”

Erina was listening to the experiences of those assigned to her by Julia, the high priestess of Fried Church, the day before the fight.

It was an incredibly unfair proposition, but as she began to understand the Goddess’s will, it felt more like compensation or a reciprocal gesture. She herself seemed to possess the talent to lead the largest sect that believes in the Goddess. A sliver of anticipation, the possibility of a good match, mixed in.

Within that anticipation, Erina was gathering information for her strategy. Quietly, she listened to the opinions of one representative from each side: the futanari and the female.

Judging from the assessments of roughly fifteen people, her skills seemed to be steadily improving. It’s completely different from Erina’s style of subjugation with overwhelming size, but the way she throws herself into lust with all her might seems somewhat similar to Erina.

Furthermore, she apparently possesses considerable talent in precisely targeting weaknesses, and her skill in pacing seems to have also grown to a high level.

“Ah, but still….”

“Still?”

“I don’t think anyone can beat Erina-nim’s cock ♡”

“…Thanks for the encouragement.”

And generally, they reached this conclusion, their lustful eyes fixed on Erina’s crotch.

“Erina-nim, could you move my turn up a bit?”

“I’ll consider it. But no one is doing anything today. Get some rest.”

“Okay. Tomorrow, I absolutely have to win, right? Ah, it’s not that I doubt you. You know how I feel, right??”

“Of course. Then… as a gesture of good luck, a kiss on the cheek? ♡”

A completely unlight, lewd kiss brimming with vulgarity.

“Then, I’ll go… ♡”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Just listening to all the stories took up almost the entire day. In conclusion, she just needed to be a little careful; it was impossible to know without directly confronting her.

‘Weaknesses… if I have my skills, it should be fine. Since she also has a Goddess statue, she likely prepared resistance skills.’

She felt no worry. A firm belief in her victory enveloped her entire body. But preparation is a different matter. Preparation doesn’t increase the chance of victory, it decreases the chance of defeat.

If all else fails, she has the means to subdue her with the power of Skill Maker.

“Now all that’s left is to eat well and sleep well.”

Conserving her stamina. That’s the best she could do now. A single day’s rest wouldn’t fully restore her condition.

She had also told everyone not to come to her room, so it was truly her private time now. Except for the murmur of daily life from various places, it was quiet.

“Whew.”

She sipped the tea that had cooled down. The slightly bitter aroma calmed her mind.

Quietly closing her eyes, she prayed. A prayer for victory tomorrow and gratitude for her safe arrival until this moment. She hoped that tonight would pass peacefully.

That wish, playfully, tends to vanish the moment it’s made.

A thud echoed. Not a loud sound, but just the right size to steal her attention.

Erina sighed. Something always happens whenever she tries to rest. Feeling a bit sorry for herself, but since she had dedicated her body to the Goddess, she couldn’t simply complain no matter what difficulties arose. Moreover, she was now in a position to lead this church, and she couldn’t just leave it be.

With heavy steps, she hurried to check the source of the sound.

If it were demons or monsters, it would be a terribly troublesome situation. She should have considered the possibility of companions coming to rescue the succubus she had imprisoned. Her heavy steps quickened, and she descended the three floors in an instant.

“What is it???”

“Ah, Bishop. I was startled as well…”

As she breathed in the cool air, she realized that she couldn’t sense any magic. Several people seemed to have gathered after hearing the sound, but no one seemed to know the cause.

“…Tina.”

She called the Fairy Queen using her alias, used in public.

“Yes, master. I am currently searching the surroundings with magic.”

Titania smartly searched her surroundings, then approximately a minute later, found the cause.

“Found it. Transmission possible. Shall I summon the target?”

“Target…? Who is it?”

Judging by her pitying expression, it seemed to be someone insignificant.

“It’s that dwarf from before. It seems they used explosives.”

“Ah, um. Then leave it be. Was it… anyway, can I talk to them?”

“Yes. What message shall I convey?”

“I’d like to ask for just one day of peace and quiet tomorrow.”

Titania nodded and focused her mind.

It was nothing serious, thankfully, but she had something else to worry about. When would she be able to relax…

Bang. Kwa-kwa-kwang.

The sound of explosions shattered Erina’s wish and shook the ground.

“…I clearly conveyed the message.”

“Really, you can’t be serious. I wish they could just be quiet for at least one day. What was their reply?”

“No. It was one-sided, so a conversation was impossible. I apologize that the wording may have been somewhat misleading.”

“Perhaps they thought it was a ghostly echo?”

Titania merely made a slightly contorted expression. Although she was Erina’s retainer, as the Fairy Queen, for hundreds of years…

“Shall I summon them? Moreover, it will consume a considerable amount of magic.”

“Is the distance far? It seems close judging by the sound of the explosion…”

“It’s somewhat distant. It seems they prepared powerful explosives.”

The method she used to search the vicinity was a little, perhaps very, crude and simple. To prepare for unexpected incidents, she grasped the area within several kilometers radius as if she was scanning with ultrasound, then used the same amount of magic to locate anything different from her memory. A forceful method that requires vast magic power and brilliant intellect to use.

“How long will it take to replenish your magic?”

“It will be replenished within a few days. If the food is good, then even faster.”

Failing to consider the difference in the passage of time between herself and humans, she simply nodded. She didn’t even notice that she used the word “food” instead of “meal,” her mind was so absorbed elsewhere.

“Understood. I’ll have them summoned immediately. Please step back for a moment.”

“Everyone, it seems to be alright, so please go back. It’s almost late, and you’ll catch a cold.”

At Erina’s gentle request, everyone left. Soon, Titania’s surroundings glowed with a mystical silver light, and several magic circles appeared in the air – ancient magic that even Aries couldn’t decipher.

“……?!??!?”

A slightly familiar-looking dwarf, Rollin, appeared with a rather surprised expression.

“Should I say, long time no see?”

“Yo-you… Is this magic? That voice I heard just now…”

“Indeed. By the order of my master, I have summoned you to question the reason for your unauthorized destruction of the mountain.”

“How unpleasant. Magic on my ancestors’ land? Without permission? There’s not a single thing I like about what you said.”

Quickly grasping the situation, Rollin made an openly displeased expression. But Titania was equally unhappy.

“That means you certainly have some objective, right?”

“…Should I tell you? Just know it as the task of my ancestors.”

“Well, that doesn’t matter to me. But why do it in the middle of the night?”

“Time is money. Money is the truth of the world. Do you need further explanation?”

Erina let out a small sigh.

“Yes, time. It’s important. But, could you please just bear with it for one day, just one day? I have a task I must accomplish.”

“Human, elf, orc… none of them are trustworthy. Even priests, for that matter.”

“How presumptuous.”

“My business is finished, I’m going back now. …I have a long way to walk.”

As Rollin turned his back on them, Titania looked to Erina for confirmation.

[Shall I capture him?]

A voice directly reaching her mind. Erina hesitated for a moment, considering the risk she would face if she let this dwarf go. The noise and vibrations wouldn’t have much of an effect on sexual intercourse. Objectively speaking, that’s true. She would just not be able to focus on sex completely.

That’s regarding the match itself, and there’s also the rather dangerous aspect that bringing him in could attract the attention of demons or monsters. Considering that there is already a succubus imprisoned in the newly created basement, she isn’t sure if it’s the right decision for a priest.

She didn’t know, but she made her choice.

“Do it.”

At that curt command, Rollin’s legs froze as though they had turned to stone.

“I’m sorry, Rollin-ssi. Please spend the night here.”

“Wha-what?!”

Ordinarily, she would have persuaded him with her cock, but not today, absolutely not today. She needed to endure, at least for today.

Pouring everything into tomorrow would be the right thing to do.

“First, let’s go inside.”

It was protection, rather than imprisonment. Thinking that way, she pulled him inside with Titania’s help.

‘…I, I must endure, really.’

However, the more she tried to endure, the more vividly the sensations arose, rising like a tide. And seeing his rebellious movements like that, she felt herself growing hard, the thought of subjugating him as a female overpowering her senses.

“Let go… let go!”

“Rollin-ssi. Calm down.”

“Do I look calm?! Every day, every hour, every second counts!!”

“If you keep that up… I’ll fuck you?”
