“Lady Reviya. It’s time to get up now.”

“Huh?….”

In response to the gentle voice waking her, Reviya answered in a slightly dazed voice and opened her eyes.

Bright sunlight from outside the window was illuminating the room, and before her eyes, a beauty with striking white silver hair and red eyes was gently shaking Reviya awake. When her red eyes met Reviya’s, she smiled and said,

“Are you awake?”

“Y-yes! Y-yes! I, I’m awake!”

Reviya nodded hastily and sat up.

Lucy, who was slowly observing her, chuckled and said.

“Hehe, what a surprise. Lady Reviya always wakes up early, but for some reason, she’s sleeping in today.”

“Hauut?!…. T-that is….”

Having witnessed the hero and the others having sex with her own eyes, she also got excited and returned to her room, pleasuring herself to satisfaction and collapsing in exhaustion…, she couldn’t say that, so Reviya rolled her eyes around, wondering how to answer.

But before Reviya could answer, Lucy nodded as if she understood everything and said.

“You must be very tired, right?”

“Y-yes?”

“Handling divine power isn’t easy, after all. You have to keep praying and praying and praying to barely extract high-purity divine power, and isn’t that such a pain? I understand everything.”

Should a nun even be saying such things? A fundamental question flashed through Reviya’s mind, but in any case, the others in the Holy Kingdom said that Lucy was an exceptional nun, so she simply nodded silently.

Of course, because of Reviya’s reaction, Lucy continued speaking with renewed vigor.

“Anyway, there are so many restrictions on everything. Starting with how clergy shouldn’t use vulgar language, we have to be careful about what we eat. Above all, we have to observe anniversaries and fast days….”

“Ahaha….”

“Well, for now, wake up and come downstairs. You need to eat breakfast, right? I tried it earlier, and it’s pretty good.”

Lucy finished speaking, stood up from her seat, and left the room.

Only after confirming that Lucy had completely left did Reviya finally let out a sigh of relief.

“I, I wasn’t caught sleeping after pleasuring myself…. Good thing I covered myself with the blanket….”

Inside the blanket that Reviya was covered with were the panties she had taken off while pleasuring herself and the bed sheets that were still slightly damp, not yet completely dry. If she had pleasured herself without the blanket, she would have fallen asleep exhausted and been caught by Lucy when she returned.

“Hoo…. O-okay, let’s change quickly….”

As Reviya was heading to the small bathroom attached to the room to wash herself briefly, Lucy was leaning against the door outside Reviya’s room, wearing a mischievous smile.

“As expected…, Lady Reviya also likes Taeho~”

With a pleasant smile, Lucy detached herself from the door and went downstairs with light steps.

“Reviya? Are you not feeling well? Or did you not sleep well?”

“Ah, no! I was fine!”

When Reviya woke up late for once, and he asked if she wasn’t feeling well, Reviya hastily shook her head and said.

…Why is she like that?

“It doesn’t matter if you’re fine…. But if you’re not feeling well somewhere, tell me in advance. This village is the last village in the Central Continent. After this, there’s only the road to the West Continent without any villages.”

“Y-yes! I understand!….”

Reviya’s answer was strangely full of spirit.

The other girls tilted their heads as if Reviya’s reaction was strange, but Lucy smiled meaningfully, as if she knew something.

After everyone, including Reviya, had finished breakfast at the inn, I secretly approached Lucy.

“What is it? Hero.”

“Reviya is a little strange. Do you know why?”

“Lady Reviya, you mean?”

Lucy pondered over my question, then smiled and said.

“It’s a secret between clergy.”

“….”

Even if she says that, she’ll end up answering if I ask strongly.

But if it were a fact that I absolutely needed to know beforehand, she would have answered before I even asked.

So, even though I’m curious, I decided to move on for now.

Reviya sometimes acts like that anyway.

I shrugged and looked at the other members.

“As I said earlier, there won’t be any more villages from now on. We’re heading straight to the West Continent. And once we head to the West Continent…, that place is an unknown territory from then on. There’s almost nothing we know. So, if there’s anything you need to take care of in the Central Continent, tell me in advance. We’ll take care of that first before we go.”

Baekryeon and Seollin shook their heads at my words.

In the first place, she’s not from this place but from the East Continent beyond, so there wouldn’t be anything to do here.

The problem is Lucy and Reviya.

No, to be honest, I don’t think Lucy matters…, but in Reviya’s case….

“I, I’m fine!!”

“Okay? Then I’ll assume everyone’s fine and we’ll depart.”

“But Young Master. I have a question.”

“What is it?”

Baekryeon asked, raising her hand high.

When I turned my gaze to her, Baekryeon shrugged and asked.

“I understand that we’re going to the West Continent…, but how are we going to get to the West Continent? Are we going to walk? Or are we going to travel by boat?”

“That’s a good question. About how to get to the West Continent.”

I looked at Lucy.

Then Lucy smiled and said.

“Basically, there’s no way to get to the West Continent other than by land. If you go by sea…. You’ll encounter the huge whirlpool in front and the boats will all sink. And if you try to avoid that whirlpool…, it’ll take much longer than walking.”

I didn’t even know that.

As expected, I should trust Lucy for information about the West Continent.

“So, it’s better to go to the West Continent by land, but…. There are also problems with land travel.”

“Problems?”

“What is it?”

“Hmm…. Well, honestly, you don’t have to worry about it.”

What is it?

What kind of problem is it that I don’t have to worry about?

When I sent her a look as if to tell me, Lucy shrugged and said.

“Actually, the closest people to the Central Continent are the orcs. So, to go from the Central Continent to the West Continent, you have to pass through the orc territory. And as I told the hero last time, most of the races in the West Continent are sensitive about their territory.”

“Ah….”

But currently, the orcs have left their territory and invaded the Central Continent, and on top of that, they’re heading to Cheonsan in the East Continent by Baekho.

In other words, the orc lands are currently empty without an owner.

There’s no need to worry at all.

“Okay. I roughly understand what you want to say. So, there’s nothing to worry about, right?”

“That’s the result~”

“Then that’s fine. Let’s go, to the West Continent.”

* * *

Normally, Baekho would carry Reviya on his back, but with Baekho gone, Reviya is walking on her own two feet.

Because of this, our speed is being adjusted to Reviya’s pace, so it’s slow.

Of course, I had already anticipated that….

‘But it’s still too slow.’

Maybe we’ve been acting too fast until now? I also get the feeling that….

‘Yeah, well, let’s think leisurely.’

[You have entered the West Continent.]

“Huh?”

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in my head.

We’ve entered the West Continent? Is this the West Continent from here?

“This place is classified as the West Continent. The appearance is much different from when I came in the past…, but it’s definitely it.”

At the same time, Lucy said that we had entered the West Continent.When we entered the East Continent, an alarm like this didn’t sound, but this alarm only comes out when we enter the West Continent…, is there something in the West Continent?

…Thump… Thump… Thump

At that moment, a sound of something was heard.

A sound like something huge is running hard.

The source of the sound is quite far away, but it was definitely running towards us.

“Lucy.”

“Yes, we’ve been detected.”

“…Reviya, come behind this one.”

“I hear something like a sound?”

Baekryeon took out her sword and hid Reviya behind her at the same time.

Seollin closed her eyes and made her senses more precise to try to figure out the identity of the sound.

And I glanced at Lucy.

“Orcs plunder the surroundings, but plundering alone can’t satisfy all the orcs’ stomachs. So, they hunt the monsters here and use the meat as food. And probably this place is…. The territory of the Blue Tiger, one of the orcs’ prey.”

“Blue Tiger?”

I glanced at Baekryeon.

If it’s a tiger, then it’s inevitable that I’ll look at Baekryeon, who is a tiger beastman.Of course, Baekryeon, who doesn’t know the meaning of the word tiger, tilted her head and looked at me, and after Reviya told her the meaning from behind, her face blushed slightly and she shouted at me.

“I, I’m not a monster!!”

“Who said you were.”

Whether they were doing this or not, the roar running towards us gradually grew louder, and before long, we could discover the identities of those running towards us.

Certainly, they were monsters in the shape of tigers.

And the color of their fur was also blue, just like the name.

“Hmm…. That’s strange?”

“What’s strange?”

“The Blue Tiger, I mean. The appearance is the same as what I remember…, but originally, the Blue Tiger’s fur color is pure blue with yellow eyes…. That one has a dark skin tone and crimson eyes….”

“Hmm…. Is this what the orcs were talking about, the monster’s berserkification?”

The total number of Blue Tigers is 4.

In addition, 2 of the Blue Tigers ran towards me, and the other 2 ran towards Baekryeon’s party behind me.

It’s definitely a good judgment that 2 of them are sticking to me….

“Don’t think that you can stop me with just 2.”

There’s no need to use .

I lightly drew my sword and cut down 2 Blue Tigers at once.

And when I looked back….

Swish!

Pow pow pow!!

“Hmm…. Certainly, the skin is quite thick.”

“To run at me so openly. As expected, a beast without intelligence is a beast.”

Baekryeon also cut down the Blue Tiger in one stroke, and Seollin stabbed dozens of hidden weapons, which I don’t know where she took out, and blew them away with martial arts as they were.

“…Well, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about with this much.”
