Chapter 45 – Celine, the Saint of the Church of Ludria
Chapter 45
I really accidentally found the saintess of the Church of Ludria. First of all, I talked to her saintess and freed her from being tied to her s*x organ.
I greeted her first.
“This is the warrior Abel. This is Saint Estelle who travels with me.”
“This is Celine, Goddess Ludria’s faithful servant…”
Celine’s expression was very dark as she greeted me. If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’m intimidating and misunderstand…
“…Well, why did you run away?”
“…I know.”
…I suddenly know something.
“There was an order from the church to find me and bring me back!”
“…Ah.”
It seems that she has also heard about her orders.
“That’s why I tried to run away…”
Is that what you don’t want to go back to? What the hell happened to you?
“What happened to you?”
“…Was slapped on the cheek.”
“Yes?”
Slapped on the cheek? To whom?… Maybe to Levius?
Celine explained everything to me. Until Levius fought with Elfriede at a banquet where Levius was invited, and Levius returned to the room, threw things, and then Levius hit Celine after drying it.
“…Is that why you ran away?”
“…That’s not all. This incident was just a trigger. Hero Levius has been like that before.”
“You said it was like that before?”
“Because the hero hated me. She’s a boring woman That’s why she usually takes out her anger for no reason, and verbal abuse was standard. Even if it didn’t hit me, she threw things…”
Wow, what a piece of sh*t. There must have been a reason why the strange holy sword was chosen.
“But this time, he finally touched his hand? So she couldn’t stand it and ran away….”
“…I didn’t see it that way, but he was such an asshole.”
“…Yes?”
Celine opened her eyes wide and looked at me.
Why, did I say no?
“You bastard Levius. Is this bastard with the name of a hero acting like that to his co-workers? My co-workers are like that, but it’s obvious that I don’t see it with others.”
The saintess next to her nodded as well.
“I don’t think rumors arise for nothing.”
“That’s right. If I were by your side, I would like to hit you.”
“Oh, hero. Then the hero will knock you down♡”
“…It feels like that.”
b*tch, I know.
“…You don’t treat all your colleagues like that. It’s because you’re only doing that to me…”
“Yes?”
…Why?
“Hero Levius has other colleagues besides me, Natalie and Sonia.”
“Oh, those women?”
“Yeah…Not usually like that with two people. Of course, the two of them know how to save themselves, but…”
Then why is only she discriminated against?
“Why?”
“…It’s just my guess, but I think it’s because I didn’t mix with the hero of Levius.”
“To…?”
My head was pounding for a moment. I wondered what I had heard wrong.
So…You’re treating people like that because you didn’t?
…Are you a real warrior?
“Do you know about the holy sword of joy of the hero of Levius?”
“Yes, I know.”
“In order to use that power, Hero Levius requires a female body. Honestly… I don’t think that method is wrong. It’s also the fastest way to get a lot of pleasure.”
“But now that you are a saint, you can’t do that.”
“…There is no doctrine that priestesses of the Church of Ludria must remain chaste.”
… Then she said that a saint does not have to be her virgin? Isn’t this a bit off, Goddess Ludria? How open are you?
“But I… I think it’s right to have a relationship like that with someone you like…”
“…Ah.”
There are many people like that.
“So I rejected it, so I think we didn’t get along well. And I tend to say a lot of bitter words…”
“It’s bittersweet. Even our saintess does it a lot.”
And with a very f*cking tone.
“Actually, there are few saints who would not say such a thing. She is a saint who accompanies her warriors to assist and guide them on the right path. But it seems that Hero Levius didn’t want to hear all of my words.”
It’s a bit unfortunate. Sending Celine back as it is now will only make things worse. If Levius continued to show this attitude, she wouldn’t be shocked by Celine’s brief run away and she wouldn’t have anything to reflect on.
I looked back at her saintess.
“What should I do?”
“…Hmm.”
The saintess seemed troubled too. Apparently it was a feud between the hero and the saint, so there were many things to think about.
The saintess asked Celine.
“Wouldn’t you like to take her to the church?”
“…When I return to the Church, I will definitely return to the side of the Levius Hero.”
“However, an order has been sent down to all the churches, so no matter where you go, you will return.”
“That’s true, but…”
Celine seemed hesitant and wanted to say something. I spoke to her first so that she could speak at her ease.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“…If Hero Abel accepts me as a colleague, it will be resolved…”
“Yes?”
I already have a saint next to me. Aside from her way of speaking, there was a certain saintess in her looks and skills. To be honest, wouldn’t it be difficult to find a better cleric than the 2 b*tch next to me?
“As Saint Celine knows, I’m going out with Saint Estelle here. Is it okay for one hero to take two saints with him?”
“…There is no law requiring that each hero carry only one saint. That’s normal, but…”
So that’s the national rule. It is the duty to follow the national rules…
“Me! I know how to handle s*xual magic quite well, and I know how to handle swords and bows! If you accept me as a colleague, I can do it for one person!”
She was Celine who suddenly started her self-appeal. She’s like her pre-teen, she’s interviewing.
But she heard something unexpected.
“You say you know how to handle a sword and a bow?”
“Yes!”
“Oh…”
Do you know how to do that? It was a little strange to her that she, a saint of hers, could not handle her cold weapons. However, the saintess next to her said,
“…So what?”
“Yes?”
“What good is that? Even if Saint Celine knows how to handle a sword and bow, doesn’t that mean she can play the role of a swordsman or archer?”
“…That, that’s… Saint Estelle’s words are right…”
Yes. That’s probably not it. Knowing how to handle a weapon and knowing how to play that role are completely different.
…What should I really do? Sending her back to her Order would eventually return her Celine to her Levius, and then push her back to the hell she had barely escaped from.
However, there were already too many roles that overlapped with the saintess. Besides, I don’t think Celine is stronger than the saintess next to me…
Isn’t it too inefficient to take two saints with you?
“…For now.”
“Yes?”
“We will keep her until the regular report meeting, saintess.”
Celine was delighted to hear her story, and her saintess slightly narrowed her forehead.
I made this decision after much consideration, so please don’t look at it that way…
“After that, whether to reconcile or whatever, let’s decide at that time. Maybe you’ll change your mind then?”
“…Haa, is it a woman again?”
“Yes?”
Efficiency isn’t the problem, it’s because she’s a woman…?
From noble mtl dot com.
“Okay. If that’s what the hero wants, then so be it.”
She was a saint who answered like that, but she seemed quite dissatisfied.
…I don’t think I’ll be pouting again.
“Thank you, warrior! Saint Estelle thank you too!”
Celine bowed her head. Was she so glad she didn’t have to go back to Levius?
…That’s kind of pitiful. It was a pity that she was kind in the eyes of how she was treated. I want to do well even while we are together.

That’s how Celine joined our party. A week after Chloe left, someone new joined.
Celine joined and we moved on to Forculum. Crossing the borders of the Minerva Kingdom, they were now in a neutral zone.
The saintess who was leading the way stopped her steps abruptly.
“Hero.”
“Yes?”
“Shall we start?”
…Looks like you found something else.
“…Yeah.”
As she pulled out her holy sword in an attitude she had become accustomed to by now, Celine tilted her head.
“Hero? What are you going to do?”
“Training.”
“Yes?”
The saintess led the way into the forest, and I followed her. Then Celine questioned her as she followed me.
“Hero, why did you come to the forest? There might be monsters here.”
“That’s why I came in.”
“…Yes???”
Celine didn’t seem to understand what I was saying. It seems Levius didn’t grow up this way.
“If you follow me, you will know.”
One hundred words are worth seeing, so it would be quicker to show it directly. Celine and I followed the saintess deep into the forest.
“Please have a seat.”
The saintess whispered very softly and lowered her body. She lowered her body after her and approached her, and the saintess pointed in front of her, she said.
“See over there? I should have seen it through the hero’s poor eyesight♡”
“…I can see it.”
Damn it, you think I’m blind?
The monster in the direction the saintess pointed was a white tiger. A white tiger with unusually large horns on its forehead. Is that a monster? I came to believe it no matter what god it was.
“It is a monster called Horn Tiger. Although it belongs to a medium-level monster in terms of its classification, its individual strength is much stronger than that of an Orc or a Goliath that we faced last time.”
“…I see.”
“Horn Tiger is a monster whose forepaws are its strength. Instead, the strength of the hind legs is weak. You know~♡”
“Yes.”
“Um, over there…”
Then Celine asked us.
“Hero Abel has been a hero for about three months now…?”
“Yes.”
“But you want to catch Horn Tiger without blessing? Aren’t you overdoing it?”
…Why did you do that all of a sudden?
Celine seemed to be worried about me. To Celine, the saintess smiled and answered.
“It’s okay. Even if the hero is still lame, I can catch that level. More than that, the hero♡”
“Yes?”
“This time, let’s challenge the hero himself♡”
“…How?”
“Did you learn the runes?”
Before Chloe left, she had long learned to draw simple runes after crossing the border. At that time, I drew a few Chinese characters that I knew, and I was surprised that Chloe was a genius.
I just scribbled down a few Chinese characters I knew, but Chloe was very surprised and amazed.
…I miss you already.
“I haven’t learned a few things…but I’ll try.”
“Yes~♡”
I closed my eyes for a moment. It was still very immature, so it was hard to collect mana if you didn’t close your eyes and concentrate like this.
“…That’s it.”
“As it is, aim for the Horn Tiger over there.”
“Yes.”
With the mana accumulated in his fingers, he wrote Chinese characters, or runes. While writing the character ice ice (氷), he recited a chant.
“Ice Spear.”
A sharp ice spear appeared and flew at Horn Tiger.
Hook!
And the ice spear was stuck in the back of Horn Tiger.
…Back?
“… Huh?”
“…Hero, isn’t that too much?”
“Ugh…”
Hon Tiger was rampaging all the way. With an ice spear stuck in the back. This is pure ice…
I glanced back at the two people next to me. They were looking at me with strange eyes.
…I feel really bad. That’s not what I meant!!
But it seemed like they wouldn’t believe me even if I made excuses. Let’s catch up quickly…
“…I’ll catch it soon.”
