“Hey, hey. Excuse me. I just got carried away by my excitement. I’m probably the only one this happy to see you, though.”

“Hee hee, please don’t say that. You have such a bright smile, it’s lovely to see.”

As Erina requested, we headed to a secluded spot, a small teahouse, and sat down together. After ordering our drinks, we quietly continued our conversation. Unlike the rather enthusiastic guardsman, Erina is a young lady I don’t particularly remember. I only briefly met her in the southern region while resolving a dispute with the orcs, so it’s understandable. She wasn’t exactly striking, and we never exchanged a word, so it’s completely normal for me not to remember her.

Since we weren’t the type to exchange pleasantries, the conversation quickly got to the point.

“So, you didn’t call me just to drink tea, did you?”

“Oh, Sister, why are you so sharp-tongued?”

_I was about to reply, ‘Well, anyone would be annoyed if they were interrupted during passionate sex,’ but I laughed it off instead._

“I’m a little tired from the long journey. I’m sorry if that came across.”

“It’s a joke, a joke. Oh dear. I said something unnecessary. I thought I’d gotten a little too friendly… I’m not usually this talkative, but sometimes I overstep my boundaries…”

‘This person is quite a troublesome type… I wonder how long this conversation will go on.’

“Ahem. So, what’s the reason?”

Levi couldn’t stand it any longer and chimed in.

“Ah, sorry. Uh, do you happen to remember our Captain? Her affiliation changed, but Captain Jane, who led the 4th squadron.”

“I definitely remember her.”

A strong-willed woman, thanks to her skills, with shared vision (magic-limited). Approximately 30-40 years old. She was considered relatively young to lead a squadron.

“Then this might go quickly. The Captain has been looking for you.”

“Hmm. I’m also concerned about you saying your affiliation changed, but you expected Erina to be here?”

“No, not really. Occasionally, especially when she drinks, she talks about you. She really wants to see you again. Ah! And I personally wanted to see you too. It’s like, I had a crush… No, that’s not the feeling, it’s because we’re women. No no, it is normal for women to be together, right? That…”

“So, where is the Captain?”

I conveniently ignored the rest of her rambling.

“The Captain… well, as you see, I’ve transferred to the guard, the 3rd squadron, so I don’t know her exact whereabouts. But I’ll find out soon. She’s busy, but given the Captain’s personality, she would have thoroughly reported, so it shouldn’t be difficult to track her down.”

“Tracking her down is going to be a problem. We’re not here for a sightseeing trip. We’ve come to deal with the demon… the monster threat. So we need to talk to someone important.”

I subtly dropped a hint, hoping for some connections.

“As expected of a nun. In that case, I will guide you to the church.”

“…Well, that’s what I expected.”

“If you give me your contact information, I’ll arrange a place and contact you. Even if it’s impossible, I will make it possible.”

“Contact information?”

Levi asked with a puzzled voice. I understood the context but asked reflexively.

“Ah, I’m sorry. It hasn’t been widely distributed yet. Please wait a moment.”

The guard girl quickly got up, and before I could stop her, she dashed out of sight. Levi nonverbally asked if I was going to chase her, but I shook my head. I sipped my iced tea, apparently too lazy to think, and just stared blankly. Once I fully released my tension, Levi relaxed as well. Wherever I went, I’d been constantly under scrutiny, worried about someone attacking. My late arrival was partly because I had taken some time to check the surroundings.

‘Are they all just after Lady Jaja? Such magnificence that can never be hidden… No, if the number of females increases any further…’

Swish, Levi’s sky-blue one-piece slightly rose. ‘Female,’ just two words, but how erotic. Just thinking of the word brought on a hard-on. Holes of all shapes, sizes, and tastes. Not as much as Erina, but my libido is surging. But the best is still penetration. I absentmindedly looked at Erina gracefully sipping her tea.

“…? Is there something you want to say?”

“Ah, uh, that is. Just. What were you thinking about?”

I wasn’t thinking of anything. I was simply savoring the taste of the tea.

“Oh, my. You’re back.”

“Huff, huff… Excuse me. Here, please take this.”

It really looked like she’d just bought it. The price tag was still on it. About the price of two high-quality holy waters. It’s too expensive for a gift; even the recipient would be too intimidated to accept it.

“…I’ll pay you.”

“Consider it a donation to the church. An offering to the Goddess.”

The guard knew how to make sure I couldn’t refuse.

“….So, how do you use this?”

I opened the small box to reveal a small crystal, about the size of my hand.

“If you put magic into it, this crystal will automatically display a string of characters. Opening this will allow you to input the character strings, allowing you to communicate over long distances.”

“Levi, want to try?”

“Yes!!”

Seeing her with the curious eyes of a child, I made the suggestion. Levi extended her hand, slightly releasing her magic, and as described, an eight-digit character string appeared.

“I’ve memorized it. And here’s my contact information, please take it.”

Because she wrote it while running, the handwriting is crooked, but it’s still readable. Erina took it and put it into her nun’s habit.

“Thank you. Is there a range limit on this?”

“…Of course, there is. The exact radius varies depending on the quality of the crystal, but it will work over a fairly wide area.”

Levi showed her wonder at seeing this sort of thing in the capital city, and the guard smiled slightly. Then, as if suddenly coming to her senses, her eyes widened.

“Ah, I was on duty. I should go back now. I’ll definitely contact you later, so please accept my contact. If you need anything, please contact me immediately. Excuse me!!”

She disappeared from my sight as quickly as when she’d gone to buy the crystal. She’s a slightly troublesome person, but her movements reveal that she’s skilled.

“…Didn’t you say you’d guide us to the church?”

“Well, let’s take our time. This shop’s tea. It’s surprisingly delicious.”

I drank the rest of the tea and thought for a moment. If she intended to give me contact information, it would have been more convenient for both of us if she had given me Jane’s contact information, her Captain, rather than her own. The fact that she didn’t suggests there are distance limitations or limitations of environment. Apart from the price, the reason it hasn’t spread widely is related to this issue.

“…What? Am I hallucinating…? Hmm…? Oh, shit, it’s real? Hey!!”

A voice I remembered, but wasn’t familiar with, called out to Erina from in front of the shop. It’s someone I can’t ignore, even if I want to. In this situation, meeting her is fortunate, but I don’t particularly want to talk to her. It’s because of her foul mouth, but also because of position issues.

“That person… Ugh. What’s she doing here?”

Levi didn’t seem happy either. A girl with sharp features and blonde hair down to her shoulders. A cute girl with charming small, plump lips.

“Damn bitches, what are you doing in the capital?”

Her only flaw is probably that she’s excessively foul-mouthed.

“Julia, it’s been a while.”

“…Hi.”

Julia, the young lady leading the Fried Church, with whom I had a temporary conflict. A young lady who handles divine power far better than I do. That huge fight ended with Julia submitting to my cock. Even so, she always talked rough, so this is typical of her. In public, of course, she maintains a polite demeanor, making sure this side is only seen by people close to her.

“Are you here for a visit? In these times?”

“Of course not. Probably a similar reason as you, Julia?”

The threat of demons. Naturally, the Fried Church would have been in action. The fact that she’s here is only reasonable.

“…Ha. Fine. Good. Come with me. You, too, red-haired whore.”

“Hey, watch your mouth! Even if I offered you my pussy, I wouldn’t give it to YOU.”

“Whatever.”

“Are you going to the church?”

I don’t care about the bickering between the females. After all, it’s evident they are both close to being in heat, so I’ll fuck them both once things are settled. And I’ll add some of the girls at the church, too.

“……Thinking about it makes me pissed off. Why didn’t you just come to the church in the first place? So leisurely drinking tea, it’s infuriating.”

“I didn’t know you’d be here♡ If I’d known, I would have fucked that adorable little pussy first♡”

“Ugh…!! Ah, alright!! Come quickly!!”

Her face was flushed red, completely in heat. One line of dialogue established the power hierarchy.

Levi sighed and followed Julia to the Fried Church in the kingdom capital with Erina.
