Chapter 90 – Can’t you make Estelle hard?
Chapter 88
Estel’s voice calling for Sister Catarina contained unfamiliar emotions. Feelings that I had never shown before.
She had only been separated for four months and did she miss you that much… Yeah, because she said he was the one who actually raised her. She is still taking care of her children.
…I’m not jealous. Really.
Hearing Estelle’s call, Sister Katarina looked up and smiled broadly at Estelle.
“No, Estelle! When did she come back?”
She seemed to want to approach Estelle right away, but she couldn’t move because of the children clinging to her side.
So Estelle approached her herself. I followed her too.
“Didn’t you know I came?”
“I knew that, but I heard she went on a search operation, so she didn’t know she was already back. By the way….”
Sister Catherine’s gaze turned to me. I quickly greeted her with her notice.
“Hello, Sister Catherine. She is Estelle, and she is Abel, the warrior who goes with the saintess. She’s heard a lot.”
“Oh, did Estelle tell me everything?”
…Yes. I’ve heard what you’ve done.
Sister Katarina, after briefly holding her children, stood up and bowed her head to me.
“Nice to meet you, warrior. She is said to be Sister Catarina, a nursery teacher at the Holy See.”
“The daycare teacher… Seems to like children.”
“No, I hate it, right?”
Then why are you working as a nursery teacher?
“I’m a nun, I want to touch your hair…”
“Do you know how annoying kids are? Look at it now It clings to me like this and whines.”
“Then why do you keep working now…”
“It’s a pity.”
Sister Katarina sat back down and she allowed the whining child to play with her hair. Doesn’t it hurt if you pull it straight like that…?
“The children entrusted to me are all children rescued during the relief activities of the Order of the Holy Knights or the church.”
“…Ah.”
They were children who had lost their place to go. Estelle was like that too.
“That’s why I should be able to leave it alone because it’s a pity. I happen to have a talent for playing with children, so that’s why I do it.”
By the way…Isn’t that what you like children?
“So Estelle, how long are you planning to stay?”
“I don’t think it will last that long. I’m just going to stay until the goods arrive.”
Stuff?
When I looked at Estelle with a look in my eyes asking what that was, she said, “Are you stupid?”
“The rare metal safe I entrusted to the blacksmith the other day. I was also distracted at the time, so I couldn’t take care of it. So I contacted the nearest Valois temple in Bourbon City and told them to retrieve it.”
“Ah.”
Yeah, that was it. I had completely forgotten about it too. So many crazy things happen…
“Hmm, that’s right. Then, would you like to play with the kids while you are here?”
“Yes?”
Sister Katarina smiled at the children clinging to her.
“Guys, is this older sister here a saint from our church?”
“Yes?”
“Really?”
“Yes, the saintess said that she would play with you today!”
…Leaving it off like this?
Estelle looked at Sister Katarina with her bewildered eyes, but she couldn’t bear to say no because she was in front of the children. Her children were expecting a lot from Estelle with bright eyes, and she was a person who couldn’t disappoint those expectations.
“…Okay, what shall we do, guys?”
In the end, Estelle had no choice but to start playing with the children Sister Catarina had left behind. Sister Katarina slipped out of her seat and came beside me.
“…Looks like you have something to say.”
“Oh~ You look pretty good, warrior.”
…What are you talking about? As I looked at her wordlessly, Sister Catarina smiled.
“Ah, you don’t have to be so nervous. There are things I just want to check.”
“What is it?”
“Are you dating Estelle, the hero?”
How come I feel like I know everyone I meet. Does everyone use mind reading?
“Does it stand out like that?”
“No? I don’t know about other places, but you didn’t do anything in front of me.”
“But how…”
“I’ve been taking care of Estelle for over 10 years. Of course, you can tell with just a little glance.”
“…What you think is right, Sister. Is that what she wanted to check?”
“Oh, there is one more.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Sister Katarina raised her index finger. When I looked at her, wondering what else was going on with her, Sister Catarina smiled the kind of eyes she had seen so many times.
“Then did you eat Estelle?”
“…Crazy.”
Swearing came out because of fostering. No, sh*t. What kind of nun would ask such a thing?
But Sister Katarina laughed at my reaction, as if it were funny.
“The reaction is very interesting. That you’re showing that kind of reaction, can be seen as positive, right?”
“…What is it? Why are you asking me that?”
“I was just curious. Hmmm, did you like it? Did you get along well?”
Isn’t this a total crazy b*tch?!
I said with a deep sigh.
“…That is s*xual harassment, Sister.”
“Ah, what is it like at an age where you know everything?”
Sister Katarina said in a tone that was no big deal and laughed cheerfully. What should I say about her personality… She’s a problem person because she’s so easy-going.
“Why are you curious about that…”
“I was worried that shy Estelle had a good first night. As Estelle’s protector.”
“…Heh heh.”
“So, hero, are you satisfied? Estelle didn’t do anything just because she was embarrassed, right?”
…Stop asking.
I turned around to put an end to this embarrassing conversation.
“…First of all, I have a question for Sister.”
“Huh? To say that the hero was curious about me, this was unexpected. What are you curious about?”
“That… Estelle has the way she speaks when she is shy. I heard that it was Sister Catarina who taught it.”
“…Ah?”
You taught me. Why pretend not to know…
“Ahahahaha!”
Suddenly Sister Katarina burst out laughing. She chuckled and laughed out loud, holding her stomach. Estelle must have heard it too, and she turned her head this way while playing with her children.
I gestured to Estelle for nothing and said to Sister Catherine.
“No, the nun told me to.”
“Ahahahaha, of course I did. She said it wasn’t because she was funny, but because it was funny that she was eaten.”
“…Yes?”
“That way Estelle became a lover with the hero, so that means it worked. It seems that our shy Estelle tried hard to appeal?”
…This person is a total villain.
“…What was the point of asking you to use such a tone to say you were embarrassed in the first place? There’s no way it’ll work because you think it’s normal.”
“Hmm? Is that so? I thought it was a proven method, so I taught it.”
“Yes?”
A proven method? On what basis do you say that…
“That’s the way my mother taught me.”
“……Yes?”
“My mother, like Estelle, is a very shy person. She is the method my mother used to seduce my father.”
f*ck, then mesgaki was a tradition handed down from generation to generation?
…I’m dizzy.
Sister Katarina chuckled. Now that I see it, Estelle’s eye smile and giggling… Everything seems to be very similar to Sister Katarina’s behavior.
…It was just because of this woman.
“And seeing that the hero still has Estelle stabbed, it seems to be true that this method is effective.”
“…Well…Well.”
I think I could have checked my mind much faster if I had just been honest with you?
Isn’t it…
“…Sister, but I think it would be better not to teach the other children that way of speaking.”
Please.
“Huh? Of course. Why would I teach you that?”
“Yes? You did that to Estelle.”
When I said something stupid, Sister Katarina smiled and replied.
“It was because Estelle is so pretty. It’s a beauty that can be forgiven no matter what you do, right? In addition, he has a shy personality, so he was suitable for teaching.”
“…Huh.”
“Unfortunately, none of the children I care for are as shy as Estelle, nor as pretty as Estelle.”
“…When you say that, it sounds like Sister’s mother was a great beauty.”
“Oh, that’s right. Can’t you see my face?”
…That’s a lot of confidence, heh heh.
When I was a little dumbfounded, Sister Katarina lowered her smile slightly. And she asked me in a slightly serious voice.
“Did you like Estelle a lot?”
“…Yes?”
“Did you like the hero a lot?”
“…I guess so.”
“That’s a relief.”
Sister Katarina finished her words and looked at Estelle as she played with her children. The auburn eyes looking at Estelle contained warm emotions.
…It’s true that kids like it. Otherwise, there would be no way you would look at Estelle, who would have bothered you so much when you were young.
“…Hero, can’t you make Estelle hard?”
“I will make sure that doesn’t happen.”
When I answered firmly, Sister Catarina smiled. Then he nodded her head once and said.
“Yes, the hero is the person Estelle chose. I will believe you.”
“…I try not to betray my faith.”
“That’s a good answer.”
Sister Katarina smiled. Looking at it, she felt that if she didn’t know anything else, she was sure of one thing.
…You love Estelle a lot.

Katarina told the children that she was playing with the children and that Estelle had given up.
“Now, the saintess is busy, so you should go now~ Let’s say hello to everyone!”
“Saintess, are you going?”
Estelle grinned at the child reaching out her tiny little hand towards her. She then bent over her back, and she stroked the child’s head.
“I’ll come back later.”
“Really?”
“Sure.”
Estel stood up and looked at Katarina and said.
“I came to talk to her sister.”
“Is that so? I just did it because I was curious about the hero.”
“…Sister, you didn’t say anything strange to Abel, did you?”
“I didn’t say anything strange~. I asked if you and the hero are dating.”
“Ah…Why are you asking that?”
Katarina laughed as if she was having fun looking at Estelle who was embarrassed.
“Do I need to know what kind of person your boyfriend is? Well, when I saw him talking, he looked so good.”
“…Abel is gentle. Normally.”
“Usually?…Oh, it seems different in bed? You must be a very beast.”
“No, I don’t mean that!”
“Ahahahaha! Estelle, now that you know how to joke like that, you’ve changed a lot, haven’t you?”
“Ugh…”
A child laughed when she saw Estelle’s cheeks turn red.
“The saintess’ face is red~!”
“This is because it is hot.”
“Is it hot? It’s cold here even in summer…”
“…I’m sensitive to the heat.”
Katarina heard Estelle’s excuse and laughed.
“…Sister Katarina.”
“hahahaha, isn’t that funny? It’s true that you take heat well…But you take the cold more, so what?”
Estelle sighed lightly and said.
“…First of all, we’ll be staying here for a while, so I’ll leave for today.”
“Yes, yes. Next time, take care of the kids again.”
“I’m coming to talk to you then.”
“Yes, yes.”
Katarina lightly waved her hand and saw Estelle off. Seeing that, Estelle smiled.
‘It’s still the same even after four months.’
Estelle bowed her head to Katarina and went back to Abel. Estelle, who approached Abel, looked at him and chatted with various expressions. He was amused, embarrassed, and happy.
Katarina watched them for a while.
“Sister, you look in a good mood.”
“Huh?…Ah, do you see that?”
A happy smile appeared on Katarina’s face. She told her children without hiding that smile.
“You guys should try having children when you grow up. Then you will know.”
“Sister isn’t even married?”
“I can still tell.”
“Yes??”
It was Katarina who only raised the children’s doubts.

“Hero.”
“Abel.”
“…Yes.”
“”Eat mine first!””
…You two, this is a restaurant that is a public place.
“Celine, Abel will eat mine first, so get out of the way.”
“What are you talking about, saintess? The hero said he wanted to eat mine first.”
“When did Abel do that!?”
“You said that with the look in your eyes.”
“What nonsense…!”
Two forks were held out in front of my eyes. A piece of mutton was stuck on both forks. And they were approaching me little by little, as if asking each other to eat this side first.
“…Ha ha.”
After going to Sister Katarina yesterday, I woke up and went to the restaurant in the premises to have breakfast, and this is the situation.
“We just eat each other. It’s a nuisance in public places.”
…All three of us are lamb steaks anyway, so we can just eat each one. But my answer seems to have been a poor choice.
The expressions of both Celine and Estelle became slightly chilly.
“…You mean you don’t want to eat?”
“You don’t need what I’m giving you…”
“Why is this happening all of a sudden!?”
It’s like this even though both of them know that’s not the case. It’s clear you’re making fun of me.
“…I will eat mine.”
“You’re doing too much.”
What’s too much?
“There are a lot of people in the restaurant, but it doesn’t have to be that way.”
“I had a delicious meal last night…”
“Aww, Celine!?”
There’s really nothing this woman can’t say! And when did I do it with you yesterday?
Hearing Celine’s bullsh*t, Estelle looked at me with her eyes unfocused.
“…Abel? You said you went to bed early yesterday.”
“I went to bed really early yesterday! Celine is talking nonsense. So don’t do that scary look!”
I’m really afraid of dogs.
“Ah…What, what! Why are you lying, Celine!”
“I was kidding.”
“How can a person called a saint tell such vulgar jokes!”
“Your saintess usually uses a lot of vulgar words to the warrior. Like X Bob.”
“That, that is…”
Estelle was getting her usual karma back.
From noble mtl dot com.
…Why? I feel like I’m sick.
“…Anyway, everyone eats. It’s all the same lamb steak anyway.”
“”Yes…””
The two saints began to nibble at the food while giving sullen answers at the same time. To be honest, I don’t know if this was a private room, but there are a lot of people, so there’s no need to salt.
… Of course, she kissed Estelle yesterday, but it was because Estelle was crying.
It was just a moment to enjoy a meal while enjoying the peace that had finally arrived.
“Hero, Hero of Abel!!”
“Ai…”
f*ck, who are you?
At the restaurant, I turned my head to find someone calling my name. And there was an armed paladin.
“…Are you a paladin?”
“Ah, hero! You were there.”
“What is it?”
The paladin lightly said hello to me, Estelle, and Celine.
“This is a big deal. Now, many monsters are coming down from the northern part of the Apollo Kingdom. The scale is quite large, and two high-risk monsters have also appeared.”
“Yes?”
“I need help from the hero. The grade has not been accurately confirmed, but it is inferred that it is at least a Leviathan-class object or higher. These are probably… remnants of the North Queen.”
…Even if you kill the head, it won’t end.
I put down my knife and fork and got up. Then, carrying the holy sword standing next to him, he said.
“Let’s go right away.”
