224 - - Art. 224. The Temple of the Lord!

"Ugh, I'm so embarrassed. ......"

After leaving Mr. Phoca, we were on our way to the temple of the Lord God.

We were not dressed in our usual gear, but in fluttering girls' outfits.

"You didn't have to dress like this, did you?

"I don't know, why don't you just wear what you always wear?"

Not only me, but also Gyro and his friends are complaining about their outfits.

But ......

"That's not true!　You have to change the way you look!"

Foca strongly insisted.

"But if you're going on a pilgrimage, it's better to be properly equipped than to be dressed like a flapper. ......"

"No. We agree with Phoca."

But for some reason, even Lilieira and her colleagues denied our objections.

Is it possible that they have some important intention ......?

"Lex, you're cute, you should dress cute!"

"...... what?"

Wait, Liliela, what are you talking about?

"Yes, and wouldn't it be funny if a girl dressed up as a guy?　If you're going to turn into a girl, it's only natural to dress like a girl (and since we're in for the fun, why not enjoy it to the fullest?)

"You're thinking of something absolutely ridiculous right now!"

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

"Well, I'm usually in monk's robes. ......"

"Nolbu can tell you're a priest of the god of knowledge, so you have to dress the cutest."

"The second half is completely irrelevant, isn't it!"

Not only Liliela, but also Mina and Megli agreed, and we decided to dress up as girls.

Ugh, I never thought that this is where the party would have a bad influence on ...... the story of Rygard.

There was an episode in which the great swordsman Rygard disguised himself as a girl to repel a demon who demanded the sacrifice of a maiden and waited for the demon.

Ugh, if I think that this is the same as Rygard's story, then ...... is not likely to happen.

While I was escaping from reality, Mr. Phoca brought out a lot of girls' clothes for some reason.

"Come on, let's get changed."

""""...... can't lose this one.""""

Then, for some reason, Liliela and the others, determined not to be outdone, brought out their own changes of clothes and a big dress-up contest began.

"Oh my gosh!　Lovely!　So cute!"

"Hey, hey, let's try a combination of this and that this time!"

"......"

"This dress is also very nice. Next time, put this one on."

"......"

"Next, I'm going to try the s*xy type. Next time I'll go for cute."

"......"

"""" Crikey!!!""""

((Hurry up and get it over with! ......))

And so the seemingly eternal torment continues, until finally everyone is satisfied with the coordinat......t?　We were released.

We were dressed up as very pretty girls.

Ugh, how embarrassing.

Passers-by have been glancing at us repeatedly since a while ago. ......

"I mean, I could have just worn a normal Sister of the Lord God outfit, couldn't I?"

As expected, Mr. Nolbu was not happy with the situation and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"It's not good. It is natural to seek for the best balance."

"Huh. ......."

"It looks great on you. I want to show it to Grandpa Norb. He could nominate Norb for sainthood."

"Absolutely not!"

Mr. Nolbu raises his voice unusually when he is told that his grandfather wants to see it.

I mean, isn't it an abuse of power to recommend your grandson to be a saint for such a reason?

"Kukku, Gyro's mother will be overjoyed when she sees this."

"Don't you dare!　Of course my mother would laugh at me if she saw me!"

Uh, yeah. That's what happened to you, too, Gyro.

"Hey, hey, Lex, do you have some kind of magical device that can make a nice portrait of Lex and his friends?"

"No, I've never seen it before."

Liliela says something horrible, and I immediately respond with a denial.

"Really?

"Really."

Liliela gives me a skeptical look, but ...... I'll never tell her about that grimoire!

"Oh, and if you go around that corner, you should be able to find the temple of the Lord God.

Since the temple of the Lord God, which Phoca had told me about, was near, I forcefully dropped the subject.

Finally we arrived at the temple of the Lord God .......

"""""""Wow, what a mess"""""""

The temple of the Lord God was more shabby than I had expected.

It was big enough to be a church, but it looked like it had not been taken care of for many years and was in a very shabby shape.

Moreover, the surrounding temples are more glittering and many times larger than the main temple, so it looks relatively shabby.

However, there was no point in standing still here.

Let's go inside and look for the priest of the Lord God.

Excuse me.

The temple was deserted.

It seemed that there were some members of the congregation, but the ratio of people inside the temple was obviously too small compared to the number of people outside.

"Yes..."

As I was thinking this, a woman who looked like a priest appeared from the back of the temple.

"How do you do? My name is Tracy, and I am the priestess of this temple dedicated to the Lord God. How can I help you today?

The woman who introduced herself as Tracy was older than us, but somewhat young to be a priestess.

I thought a priest was a position for someone a little older, but I wondered if she was actually competent for her age.

"Um, my name is ...... and my name is Rakshi."

"My name is Lilieira."

I'm Ja, Janet!

"I'm Mina."

"Bo, my name is No...... Rie."

"Megli."

We men used the fake names we had prepared in advance ......, but it's still hard to get used to and it's embarrassing.

"Kyuhuhn!"

"Oh, this is my pet, Fluff Fluff."

Yeah, I don't think Mohammed needs an alias.

"We've come to ...... to participate in a pilgrimage that is being held in the Holy City.

"What?

When we told her we wanted to go on a pilgrimage, she stiffened up.

"We're here to help the temple in the Holy City ......."

"No!"

But before I can finish, Tracy stops me.

"You people, value your lives!"

Tracy's face was serious as she stopped us with such strong words.
