Chapter 47 – [Priestess] On the Right Path
In front of a tightly closed door.
I made up my mind before knocking on the door.
Don’t get too excited.
I didn’t come here to take my anger out on him.
I must lead him on the right path.
Because that’s the best solution.
I heard the whole story from Seria.
Of course, it seemed that important details were left out on purpose, but looking at her reaction, I can roughly guess.
The first emotion I had was anger.
He who dared to touch Seria could not be left alone.
However, before it exploded into action, I became aware of myself as a priest and suppressed it.
Killing him on the spot is not a good solution.
The next emotion I felt was doubt.
Why didn’t Seria let the man die?
She couldn’t understand why Seria, an excellent mage, was being swayed by such a powerless man.
Of course, now, although it’s a bit hard to believe, it’s a little different to say that he has awakened magic, but before that, there would have been plenty of opportunities?
Seria’s answer to this is, if she is like her, should I say that she is like her?
It was something silly, yet not easily ignored.
Certainly, if you’re a hero, you won’t be able to tolerate pointing fingers at others or insulting your comrades.
It is understandable that Seria was shaken.
But if that’s all, Seria didn’t understand the hero properly.
The hero would be really distressed if he found out the truth about her, but he would never want her to step into her swamp on her own.
I thought that if it was Seria, she would know the truth right away.
As expected, I know the hero better than Seria…
No, this is ugly jealousy.
You shouldn’t compete by ranking each other.
However, when that woman was embraced by her husband, she ran straight to the hero…
Unknowingly, my fists tightened.
She realized it too late, and she was startled.
… Why am I like this?
Something is strange. Why do you suddenly have such negative feelings for Seria?
She thinks she and Seria are really good friends.
Was she, deep down in my heart, thinking of her as her competitor?
How could she have such an ugly heart because she was a priest?
It’s because I’m still immature.
She is unknowingly conceited that she has become a high-ranking cleric.
Jealousy. Hate. Period. Resentment.
All disappear when the sun rises like dew at dawn.
Since we humans were originally born in the darkest dawn, it is only natural that we are easily affected by these negative emotions.
We always have to take our dirty parts off.
Into the dawn
Into the all-encompassing dawn.
I prayed to the goddess.
For some reason, her left collarbone was slightly sore, but she didn’t care, thinking it might be an insect.
I left all my negative emotions somewhere in the dark early morning and came back.
I can do it, so he can too.
If you can’t do it alone, I can help you.
Because that is us, the priest of dawn.
Smart.
As soon as he knocked, the door burst open.
I almost stepped back in surprise, but I put my feet back together.
“Miss Arin. What are you doing? Can I get you a tool to wash your hair?”
Anyone who hears it will know that you are the one who calls only when you wash your hair.
… Come to think of it, I didn’t have much to call other than that.
I was a little embarrassed and cleared my throat for a while before looking straight into his face.
“I have something to tell you.”
“To me?”
He put on a questioning expression, as if he didn’t know anything.
It is obviously doing this knowingly.
I didn’t know it at first, but he’s more shady than I thought and he’s a smart guy.
So be careful when dealing with him.
Don’t fall for that man’s words.
“About you and Seria.”
“…”
The one who is silent
Are you working on an answer?
Then don’t give him time to think.
“Come in at once.”
“I’ll do it here. It won’t take long.”
He tried to let me into the room, but of course it was an offer he couldn’t accept.
I certainly wouldn’t try to steal my virginity by force, but I told Seria beforehand just in case.
If something happens to me, she will notice her condition through the magic on my body and immediately call her hero.
“Um, it’s a cold day.”
“It’s okay. Can we get to the point sooner rather than later?”
I flatly rejected his continued offer and went straight to the point.
There is nothing good about talking to him for a long time.
Quickly, let’s talk about the main topic and come back.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about… Let it be.”
“Leave your hands off Seria.”
Then, for the first time, he had a noticeable reaction.
He stroked his chin in a moment of bewilderment, then spoke carefully.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m not particularly into Miss Seria…”
“You blackmailed her and used her to satisfy your sexual desire?”
It was then that he began to become visibly upset.
After spitting it out of my mouth, I get angry.
My, to this man, Seria…
I calmed down my fists shaking in rage and collected my heart again.
Okay. Let go of anger as well.
Jealousy. Hate. Period. Resentment. And even anger.
I’m not here to punish him.
“What do you mean, I…”
“That’s Okay. I won’t listen to your defense. I have no intention of punishing you or anything like that.”
“Then… ?”
The man wore a blatantly relieved expression.
Are you really going to deny this to the end?
He didn’t want to waste time trying to get him to agree.
“We know that men have strong sexual urges. That in itself is not wrong. We are all Goddess’ creations.”
I don’t know the cause, but when it comes to humans, everything is arranged by the Goddess.
There will be purposes we can’t fathom.
Just like we don’t know the dawn.
“Hmm…”
He covered his mouth with his hand as he brushed his chin, as if he was a little embarrassed to be talking to me like this.
Certainly, talking about the opposite sex and sex can be a bit embarrassing.
But I’m not talking for an impure purpose, I’m just talking to lead him on the right path.
There is absolutely no reason to be ashamed.
“However, Goddess did not tell you to relieve those sexual urges by forcibly taking another person. These are all Goddess trials. You have to know how to properly relieve your urges.”
These sexual urges don’t help us.
Nevertheless, the fact that we humans have these negative emotions can only be interpreted as an ordeal given by the Goddess.
Occasionally there are heretics who make different claims, but they are a bunch of fools who misinterpret the will of the Goddess, so you don’t have to listen.
“No, in what way…”
“There must be training, for example. In fact, many people relieve those negative urges by practicing martial arts.”
It’s a normal thing in a monastery.
It is natural for boys and girls in their prime to be seized by such impulses.
Whenever that happened, they used to suppress their sexual desire by overtaxing their bodies.
“Or how about something like reading? Right reading drives out negativity in the heart…”
“What the fuck is that bullshit?”
Must have heard it wrong
It must have sounded that way because of the denial in my mind of this man.
“Sorry, I don’t think I heard you well.”
“What bullshit are you talking about?”
“Yes?”
What is the problem?
As I blinked my eyes, he crumpled his expression as if he was dumbfounded.
“No, does that mean that the semen accumulated in the vagina disappears? Even if it’s my daughter, I can’t solve it unless I hit it.”
“Married couple…”
Such vulgar words…
As expected, this man must have lacked adults to guide him on the right path as a child.
That’s why you can’t control these urges and accept them as natural.
His condition seemed to be worse than I thought.
“Oh shit, I accidentally yelled… Anyway, none of those things work, and in the first place, Lady Seria and I have nothing to do with each other.”
He muttered to himself for a moment, then denied everything I said.
He is still a man who knows nothing.
“… It’s okay. It’s gone a lot, but I can still come back.”
“No, what do you mean?”
“I can help. Let’s live a life that is not ashamed of the Goddess.”
In fact, considering Seria’s strange habits, she seems to be more urgent to correct her, but…
Even if she died, she wouldn’t listen to my advice, so it didn’t work very well.
Great. Let’s take this opportunity to lead both of us on the right path.
It’s also difficult to talk about someone who met the porter at the hero’s party, or that the sorceress had strange hobbies.
Was Seria worried about this too? I understand a little bit.
But she got her approach wrong.
Instead of thinking complacently that in order to solve the problem, you just have to sacrifice yourself, you should directly help him to change like this.
I gave him a helping hand,
Was rejected straight away.
“That’s a bit…”
