Chapter 394
Day 92 – Evening Apparently, it’s not the Church, but the Theocracy that’s sent its foreign minister for negotiations as a nation. They’re playing two roles, switching between Church and Theocracy as it suits the circumstances, applying convenient accusations while dodging all responsibility. But it sounds like Playking shot them down and demanded an apology instead, so negotiations broke down, and now both sides are just locked in a hostile standoff, throwing threats at each other. The Theocracy isn’t nice, but the Kingdom, or rather, Playking, is pretty damn immature too. I mean, the guy’s a total flirt? He’s got three wives, you know? Actually, at his peak, it was five!
Now, on top of that, an official envoy from the Church also came to the capital, shamelessly playing the victim, demanding the return of the archbishop captured in the last war, along with an apology and reparations from the Kingdom, and is now busy trading insults with Playking. On the other hand, Sisters who came not as representatives of the Church, but as individual believers, were welcomed with hospitality and escorted to the Frontier with a full guard, on the other hand, Playking apparently blocked representatives from the Church from going to the Frontier. Probably because Sisters were all beautiful. I bet Playking went all flirty and gave them special treatment. I’m sure that Sister Arenta-san was going That’s-totally-Aren’t-a-happening or something and having a fun time with him. So frivolous?
「「「It’s Arianna-san, stop muttering a wrong name with such confidence, even making up stories for it!」」」
…Oh. So I was wrong? Wait, was I saying that out loud?
I’d heard they were having some kind of dispute for a while, but since all of the characters involved were just Middle-Aged Men, it was way too boring to follow. Still, considering how influential people like Ariennai-san are, even in the Theocracy, there’s probably going to be a demand for her 『release from captivity』 too. They also seem to be demanding that Dancing Girl-san and the Black-haired Princesses be handed over to face heresy investigations… Should I send over two of the Dungeon Emperors too? Maybe toss in the hungry girls and even Slime-san for good measure? If I did that, the Theocracy’s food supplies would be destroyed in three days, causing a famine.
「This is the current reality of the Church, depraved and corrupt. Being one of its supporters, I’m also prepared to take any blame that may come. I will never forget the kindness you showed to someone like me. Thank you」
Looks like we have a Sister-san with a lewd body that says that she is ready to take any punishment. But! This is a trap! I can tell, my Detection is going off like crazy, and even without turning around, I can hear the whoosh of iron balls spinning through the air. Wh-what’s going on?! Wait, I know, it’s a beating, isn’t it? Yeah, I didn’t even have to ask.
「Tch, the shadow clones are more troublesome than I expected. Even with AoE attacks we can’t get all of them!」
「And when you hit a decoy, those damn shadow crows go 『KAW!』 , like they are totally mocking you, it’s so infuriating!」
「Is the real one even here? I don’t think I actually landed a single hit on anything?」
「I dunno if the real body’s here~ but a real pervert should be around~ so let’s just keep smashing ‘till we get him~!」
「Hey, it’s 『Mutation』and not Pervert, and it’s a skill name, no my name! Also, if the real body isn’t even here and only Pervert-san is, then that’s just some random pervert we don’t even know, right? Like, it’s entirely it’s own issue, but that pervert is a completely unrelated pervert that has nothing to do with me, okay?」[TL Notes: the skill that he got from the necklace, Hentai]
I was this close to having my real name permanently changed to Pervert-san. What a crisis. Honestly, giving someone a weird nickname like that is just plain rude. And besides, Mutation-san is some unspeakable aberration, an eldritch pervert that defies definition, so it’s not exactly something you can just casually label?
No, I mean, there are just way too many of them. So many freakish abominations appeared, each one with completely different traits, their colors, shapes, textures, all wildly distinct, and they’re all twisted in their own unique ways. Yet somehow, they cooperate, recognizing and complementing each other’s strengths, working in perfect harmony as they ooze with the sweat of their labor, writhing and curling around their restrained bodies. They slither across the soft skin, caressing, exploring, and stroking, slipping inside and out… They’re so coordinated, completely united in their teamwork, that giving each one of them a different name is kind of impossible? I mean, even if I did, they’d immediately change their color and shame again?
「Why won’t you condemn me? I’m one of the nuns of the Church that turned so corrupt that it would attempt to abduct innocent people like you to torture them under pretext of heresy trials. I couldn’t even protect God’s teachings… If anything were to happen to you, I… I…」
「「「Well, it’s just… The moment we hand over the Black-haired Strategist, all we can see is a future where the inquisitors get tortured and butchered instead, you know? And they sound more inept than evil?」」」
「「「Yeah, for mere scummy priests to even dare to go against the King of Inhuman Cruelty, the Road Construction God, is so delusional it’s pitiful… In the first place, trying to violate a Sex King? That’s not even recklessness, but plain idiocy?」」」
No-n-no, wait a moment, I have zero interest in getting involved in any kinds of erotic heresy trials or tortures conducted by middle-aged men, okay? And I definitely don’t want to see, or worse, be in, some 『Aa~ah~!』」kind of scene where I’m the one torturing or violating middle-aged med, what the heck, I don’t even want to think of such a hellish scene! But, but what if, by some miracle, it was all beautiful women? Like an entire squad of gorgeous, female torture-inquisitor Sisters, doing all kinds of things to Highschool Boy in the name of punishment? Yeah, I should probably have a serious talk with Playking about this handover situation. There might be a lot at stake here.
「Why does everyone always insist on demanding stuff that’s clearly dangerous?」
「Last time the royal brother offered him up, the whole opposing party got wiped out, remember?」
「It’s the worst offering ever, and they are asking for it themselves, talk about incompetent…」
「And seriously, it’s the Non-black-haired Princesses they should really be worried about. And also Slime-san?」
「I’m not sure if they should be considered brave or just suicidal, for wanting to torture those four.」
「We don’t condone assault or anything, but… They are literally requesting the specialist in that sphere….」
「「「Demanding the strongest unit in all of violation warfare, they’re seriously overestimating their own 『Violation power』!」」」
「Like, all that talk about the dread of the Church, just doesn’t have an impact when it’s all that there is to it?~ True dread lurks in ordinary everyday life. Like the Sex King cooking dinner in the next room.」
「「「Anyway, Arianna-san isn’t even involved, so of course we wouldn’t be mad at you. Thanks for telling us.」」」
