CH 14

Karina-chan here. I got a quest from the Goddess to [Obtain (Embarrassed) Beautiful Women's Socks]!

That Goddess is definitely a pervert, right? Not that I'd ever, ever say it.

It felt like there was a ticking time bomb in my body, so I wanted to deliver the socks as soon as possible and secure my private space.

Why do I have to worry about such perverted situations…? Was this the price of power…? I guess there's no such thing as power without a price…

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, Sister-san."

Before I knew it, I had returned back to the front row of the church's chapel.

Harumikazuchi-oneesama's stockings had disappeared from my hands and I could feel the flow of time in my storage space slow down. That was definitely proof that I had met the Goddess.

"Would you like to rest in the break room? … Oh, you're a colleague. What a shame. May the world be at peace."

"Excuse me? Umm, yeah?"

The Succubus-ish Sister looked into my eyes before quickly changing her attitude and walking away. It seemed she'd approached me with the intention of getting my socks from me. I see, I was a beauty, after all.

… The moment I saw Sister-san's pink eyes, I felt something like, "Oh, she's the same as me." Hmmm, it was a strange feeling.

At any rate, I was done with my business with the Goddess. I left the church and—oooh, the sunset was beautiful—then returned to the church. I called out to the Sister from earlier.

"Excuse me, colleague. I'm actually out of money… could I borrow a blanket or something?"

"We normally ask for a donation for that… but I'll let you use the break room for the night. But I can't give you dinner, okay?"

"Oooh! Thank you very much!"

Having a comrade who has a base is really reliable!

Helping each other is important. Once I become a merchant I'll donate a lot of money to the church.

I woke up alone after a full night's rest.

Since I was generously given use of the break room (and my storage space room still wasn't ready), I woke up wrapped in a warm blanket.

"… Gotta get up, huh."

I got out of the blanket. Mmm, should I copy the blanket? It was for personal use and not for sale, so that much should be safe, right? But I was just borrowing it, so it wasn't mine, so maybe it's no good? Hmm…

It's safe! I can't resist a warm blanket…!

And so I added a blanket to my storage space. Ah, crap, dizziness overload.

The blanket was pretty big. It was the biggest thing I'd copied so far.

As I sat back down onto the blanket to rest, my stomach growled.

I tried gnawing on the jerky I got last night, but it was too salty and hard to eat.

I felt in my bones just how much research had been done on jerky in my past life…

Basic Knowledge-san knew how to eat it, but it seemed that it was something you should shave with a knife and put into soup. I should have confirmed it sooner… big sad.

I then heard a knock at the door.

"Are you awake?"

"Yeeeep."

It was Sister-san. I folded up the blanket and opened the door.

When I opened the door, Sister-san was holding a tray with a small loaf of bread and some vegetable soup on it. I couldn't help but gulp.

"Here you go, breakfast."

"Huh? I thought I wouldn't get any food?"

"Well, we'd already prepared dinner last night. I can still give you breakfast, though. We're comrades, right?"

Damn, she's an Angel. A full-fledged Angel. And a Succubus, but still.

… Come to think of it, religion is all about mutual assistance.

I was non-religious (though I was Buddhist) in Japan, but it was really nice to have an organization that would help you out and treat you as a comrade just because you believed in the same God. I guess I'll believe in her, too.

"… When I make some money, I'll donate a lot!"

"I won't get my hopes up, but I'll be waiting~"

"You should though? I've received a lot of blessings from the Goddess."

"I will in that case. Please donate a large gold coin as a down payment then."

"Ooh? Don't forget what you said? I'll do it, you know? In the future though."

"You don't have any money now, so just accept the church's charity."

Sister-san winked at me. I'm gonna fall for her.

… Wait, is this tendency to fall in love so easily also a trap embedded in my body? But the happiness of being in front of such a cute girl is unbearable! I love it! I want to be hugged and crushed by that plump body! Does she have a devilish tail or something!?

"… Hey. Could you not get horny for me? I can tell, you know?"

"Uguh!"

Succubi are fearsome…!
