Three days had passed since I found out what kind of person Prete, an apostle of the Arts Church, was.

Joy’s expression when she faced him again was so grim that anyone could tell.

When he stays still, he looks angry, and even when he smiles, he looks like he’s thinking about ending someone.

The sincere disgust written on her face was so terrifying that it made even Frete, who had met all kinds of people as an apostle of the Arts Order, break into a cold sweat.

“Stir. Lady Partran?”

“Why are you calling me?”

“You don’t look very good.”

“…Don’t you know why I’m doing this?”

As Frete asked the question, Joey’s expression became even more somber.

The fact that she was not aware of her own perversion made her even more angry.

A man who is old enough and must have met many people and gained a lot of experience could lust after a small girl and not even realize that it was wrong.

Even if the opponent wasn’t an apostle of the Arts Church, they would have borrowed the power of the duke’s family and thrown him deep in a prison somewhere.

“There are some places where I can roughly guess. You must have seen it the last time you were moved by the beauty of Lady Arlen.”

“Yes. You know it well.”

“If you have seen that, I think you can completely misunderstand it. So, could you please give me a chance to explain?”

You have something to explain after showing me that ugly side?

under. Let’s hear what you’re saying.

Because I’m curious to how ugly a person, an apostle of an art cult, can become.

As Joey nodded silently, Prete smiled brightly and continued.

“First of all, I do not harbor the slightest dark feelings towards Lady Arlen.”

…Does this person think that makes sense now?

Do you think you can prove your innocence by showing off like that?

Who would have thought that an apostle of the Arts Church would be this foolish.

Next time, tell your father.

“How can you harbor vain feelings when you have before your eyes the embodiment of beauty recognized by the goddess!”

“…Yes?”

“In front of that noble and noble appearance, even the smallest dark heart will be purified and turned into wonder! There is no denial in my heart when I look at Him with honor as an apostle!”

“No. Over there.”

“Now that I have the opportunity, I will tell you about it one by one! First of all, we should talk about those eyes! Darker and more sparkling than any other gem!…”

Joy, who was watching the scene go from small excitement to madness, as if snow falling from a high place were expanding in size, naturally made an expression similar to Lucy’s.

Is it okay to leave someone like this alone? Shouldn’t they be handcuffed by any means necessary?

“Prete.”

At that time, Joy was sick of the madness she was facing for the first time in her life.

On Joy’s behalf, Fabi spoke with the sternness of condemning a criminal instead of the softness she usually used when talking to her friends.

“What about that voice… yes?”

“The Lord said that excess is to hide one’s anxiety. Frete, do you think Lady Arn’s nobility is something that must be expressed in a thousand words?”

“…This is right. sorry. I feel inadequate.”

At times like this, Fabi looks so mature that I envy her.

As the daughter of a duke’s family, I should also become that kind of person.

“Prete. Then shall we go back to the main topic?”

“Yes. First, let’s look at the clothes.”

“Is it already completed?”

“Not already. Because it took several days.”

…I completed the clothes in just a few days without even deciding on the design of the clothes. Is it correct to say that it took several days?

They’re not making leather scraps that commoners wear in their daily lives, but they’re making dresses for nobles?

“This side belongs to the saint, and this side belongs to Lady Patran.”

The moment the dress was placed on the table, Joy covered her mouth with both hands.

The dress that Frete pulled out of her subspace pocket was something that Joy, who had seen all kinds of dresses, could not help but admire.

Before simply being luxurious or beautiful.

The black dress presented in front of Joy perfectly suited her taste as she tried to look like a duke’s daughter.

It was as if someone had entered Joy’s head and taken her affair out.

Is this an apostle of the Arts Church? No matter what the personality of Prete is, one ability is real.

After almost a minute had passed, Joey came to his senses and slowly looked around to see Fabi’s reaction.

And I was sure. That Fabi’s mind is not much different from his own.

Because the smile on her lips clearly meant happiness.

“You seem to like it, so it would be okay to provide an explanation. First of all, I used Barit’s silk. Because I received a request suddenly, I had to make do with what I had.”

When it comes to Barit’s silk, we’re talking about silk made from cocoons collected from the middle layer of the Barit dungeon.

Wouldn’t that be more than enough? It’s an item that even decent nobles wouldn’t dare use.

“Instead, please understand that I have given you the blessing by borrowing the power of the goddess.”

“What is a blessing?”

“It’s not that big of a deal. The only thing you can do is that your clothes automatically fit your body and will always look their best without any special care.”

That too is incredibly great.

The value of clothes that have been blessed by a priest of an ordinary religious denomination skyrockets, but if it is an item that has been blessed directly by an apostle of an ordinary religious denomination.

…Can I really take this? No matter how much I think about it, it’s too burdensome, right?

“In the case of the design, it was based on what Lady Aln gave me.”

“Lady Aln?”

“Please don’t misunderstand. It wasn’t made that way simply because the Lady asked for it. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that his request was right. It was obvious that he always looked at the two of you closely.”

“…I see. Lady.”

Joey muttered in a low voice and held on to the necklace that Lucy once gave him as a gift.

Normally, Lucy acts as if she is not interested in these things, but in reality, she is not.

She always looks closely at those around her and makes their wishes come true.

Wasn’t it Lucy who helped her get up when she was suffering from nightmares and couldn’t even set foot in the dungeon?

Lucy’s enormous worries must have seeped into this dress as well.

“Thank you so much. I will wear it carefully.”

Joy, whose thoughts reached that point, lowered her head and spoke out.

There’s no way I could refuse such a precious gift!

Ugh. I already have a lot of debt I owe to Lady Aln, but I can’t believe it’s increasing even further.

Now, I don’t think I can complain even if the young lady calls me a dork.

“Me too. Frete. Thank you for making such wonderful clothes.”

“Haha. If you want to thank me, please give it to Lady Aln. All I can do is listen to his request.”

“But.”

“If you would like to express your sincere gratitude, would you please give these clothes to the Third Prince of Soladdin and the Lady of Kent?”

Frete takes out new clothes from her subspace pocket.

The light brown suit and light blue dress that the man was wearing were so stylish that they were no less impressive than the ones that had just been placed on the table.

“This?”

“I feel that what I have to give is not enough compared to what I received from Lady Aln. Two other friends made things to wear too.”

It is clear that she will feel burdened if she delivers it directly to Lucy, so Joy closes her eyes when Prete asks her to deliver it to her instead.

“…How on earth did Lady Aln pay the price.”

“Even if I had to sacrifice my life, I was willing to give it a price worth risking.”

An apostle of the Arts Church who can get anything he wants. And if this terrible perversion is a satisfactory price, then surely.

“You allowed me to decorate that person myself!”

Joy, who had been concentrating her magical energy while fantasizing like an adolescent girl, froze when she saw Frete’s melting expression.

“Ugh. Even thinking about it now, I feel like I could die of happiness. I can add to the beauty of Lady Arn with my touch!”

Have you forgotten the advice Fabi gave you just now?

Joy touched her forehead as Frete described her happiness in passionate words.

“Paybee. I have one question to ask. Aren’t all the apostles of God like this?”

“Joy! That can’t be possible! Being an apostle chosen by God!… Huh. Anyway, this person is a bit. no. It’s just a little bit unique.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I almost doubted the character of several apostles.”

On the morning of the party held to commemorate the end of Soul Academy, the streets of the Academy were more crowded than usual.

The end-of-semester party, which attracts the most guests along with the academy’s entrance ceremony, is a major event for business owners and a festival for tourists.

It was not unusual for the streets to be noisy at this time of year, but this year the bustle was even worse than usual.

“The real life of the dungeon is more vicious than what is written in the journal.”

“Do you mean students are targeting things like that? The standard of Soul Academy is very high.”

“Even the person who produced me was a student at the academy, right? It is also one of the educational institutions considered to be the best on the continent.”

In addition to the usual guests, there were additional people who came to experience the academy’s dungeon.

The dungeon created by Soul Academy is widely considered to be the best dungeon of the year.

Is there any way that people who are passionate about conquering dungeons will remain silent when they say that it will allow them to conquer the actual dungeon?

Someone with respect. Some out of pure curiosity. Some people want to make something to brag about. Someone else visited Soul Academy to relieve their boredom, and as a result, the streets of the academy became filled with people.

However, this was not the case everywhere.

For example, the area near the fountain in the middle of Academy Street was empty enough to make you wonder if some archmage had used magic.

It’s not because there isn’t a lot of foot traffic there.

There were so many people crowding around a few meters away from the fountain that it was difficult to even step foot.

However, because Lucy Aln is standing in front of the fountain.

And because she was frowning as if showing off.

An empty space had to be created near the fountain.

This was a natural phenomenon as Lucy Alln’s notoriety spread, but there was one difference from the past.

The difference is that instead of running away in fear of her, the various luxury people look at her from afar and talk about various things.

“Is that child Lucy Aln?”

“Indeed. A bard from the Arts Church would praise it. It’s so beautiful.”

“…Huh. I almost forgot her notoriety for a moment.”

“If you’re not crazy, don’t approach me. Because you won’t see anything good.”

“Do I not know that? 2 kings. Oh my. Your mouth is fair.”

“I heard that he was the one who created the academy’s final dungeon?”

“Amazing. He still seems very young.”

“I even heard that he holds the highest position in the academy in terms of both military power and intelligence.”

“That is a clear fact. They say they have never missed the top spot in the entire school.”

“It’s such a shame. If only I had a good temper.”

“The great Lord is fair.”

“Now that I think about it, this rumor…”

It was a time when the stories of luxury lovers, which started with admiration and awe, started to flow in a low-quality and provocative direction.

A lively laugh was heard from afar.

“Hahaha! Thank you everyone for saying nice things about my sweet daughter! As a father, I don’t know what to do with joy!”

Benedick Alln.

This person earns the respect of all warriors on the continent.

He is a man who reigns in fear to those who remember when he stood on the battlefield.

The hero of the kingdom, who even the royal family cannot take lightly, has appeared.

“Foolish father. A lot…”

“Oooh! Lucy! LUCYEEEE!”

Benedick, who narrowed the fairly long distance with just one jump, hugged his daughter as soon as he landed with a loud sound.

“I’ve told you this many times before with my crystal ball, but this father is so proud of you! I was so happy to hear compliments on Lucy from everywhere!”

“Over there…”

“How much prettier you have become! When I saw it through a crystal ball, I couldn’t believe my eyes, but when I saw it in person, I almost wondered if it was an angel showing me a vision!”

“No sleep…”

“But on the other hand, this father is also worried about our Lucy! She’s so pretty and cool, but she’s also talented! My heart is pounding because I’m afraid that some unscrupulous guy will touch our Lucy!…”

“Bar! paper! ah! friend! Nim!”

“…Ugh. Lucy?”

“Can you please shut that smelly mouth and take me away from these ignorant arms?!♡ I hate my stupid father more and more?!♡”

“That!I’m sorry! Lucy! Please stop saying you hate me!”

The magnates pursed their lips as they looked at the monster spitting out blood at every word the daughter said.

It is a truly amusing sight.

If I tell this story to others who haven’t seen this scene, will they believe me?
