The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 38 - Priest of Tarram ① -
"Is it in a place like this?
"Yeah, it should be."
Ultina and Marduk were going through a narrow alley. Aim is the Arnelian Church Branch in Tarram. Tarrum also has a branch because he is sheltered by Arnelia without exception, but because he felt he needed to show his face there.
Even when it comes to pilgrimages, it is polite to talk to branches about working on the land, and inns and other branches often use their quarters. Even if such customs were to be omitted, it was the two of them who wanted to keep their faces to grasp the situation in Tarram.
No priest wants to take office in a land that can be said to be the opposite of the Arnelian doctrine of Tarram. What an identical priest for more than 40 years to serve as a priest of the land. Former pilgrimage third, Volgius. Few have seen its appearance, as it should already be quite old but barely out of Tarram. In fact, Ultina and Marduk wondered if this Volgius might be the ruler of Tarram.
"When I was active, I heard it was one of the best in battle?
"That's not what I heard. He was working with Lord Lapenti at the same time."
"Are you familiar with him?
"Come on? I heard you never looked at each other so well."
"Why did you leave the pilgrimage?
"Sounds like the battle wounds made it easier. I don't know how he got into the parish in Tarram. Just for the record, Lord Lapenti said, 'Be careful because you're a crook.'"
"That's what Lord Lapenti says."
Ultina laughed bitterly, but the church was already in front of her as we talked about it. In other lands it is usually admired when it comes to churches large and small, and quite well maintained, but this church was so desolate that it was not known to belong to Arnelia just by looking at it. Whether the walls had not been repaired, the paint was peeled all you could, and some of them seemed to have holes. The door was also broken with a hinge, tried to open it, but it was poorly erected, and it finally opened with the sound of rust or ear damage.
I wonder if it's pretty well maintained if I can get it in there, and neither does it. The chair used during the rally is loaded with dust, and the spider's nest can be stretched all over it. But more than that, it was the statue of Arnelia the Virgin. Since idolatry was banned, what became idols (symbols) in Arnelia had been temporarily and completely withdrawn, but there were numerous complaints that there was no object of prayer, and that statues of Arnelia the Virgin had been forced to be installed in each church. But the statue should be unified and set as Arnelia smiling gently, but Arnelia here in Tarrum was a naked woman, and smiling sluttily as if provoking.
Needless to say Ultina and Marduk were outraged.
"What, this is! There is so much to blaspheme the Virgin Arnelia!
"And there are suspicions of idolatry that are contraindicated. It's not good. We're going to need to question Lord Volgius soon."
"Grandpa's not here."
When they looked back because they heard a voice coming straight from the side, there was a big man standing there with terrible burn marks on his face. The man's hair is all over the place, plus a big liquor bottle on one hand. It is a drunken style that is wrapped in beaks, no matter how you look at it, but the clothes were Arnelian cleric clothes. Though it was not considered basic white either, but black clothes dyed at will. Apparently, he's an associate of this church.
Ultina asked the question.
"Who are you? Where's the priest here?
"Name yourself before you do. Even so, Arnelia's Church of Origin is the right one. I didn't do Mass or apply it today. Well, I haven't done it all year. Is that why your actions are trespassing?
"... excuse me for this. Some are Arnelian priests, Marduk and Ultina. The priest here, Lord Volgius, had a requirement, but he gave me a headache and crushed without it. I had to ask in person, is there a priest?
"That's why I don't like it. Didn't I just say that? Are you deaf? Or is it the head?
Point the man in the head as he approaches Marduk and behave like a little fool. Marduk shut his mouth to that liquor-smelling breath, but Ultina had not lost.
"Then let us wait until the priest returns. I'm not here to see you either."
"You don't know when you're coming home, do you? Sometimes I vacate church for days, and I don't know if I'm here. It's Grandpa. Better than that, you, aren't you not introducing yourself enough?
"What? I thought I told you my name."
"No, no, no, it's a greeting for me."
That being the case, the man suddenly began to eagle Urtina's left breast and rub it blatantly. Marduk was so abrupt in his actions that even Ultina was flashing for a moment, and blushing in disgrace, blushing the man's face with all her might.
A loud noise echoes within the church.
"Hey, what do you do!
"What. Well, 82 to 83. That's an understated breast compared to attitude and temperament. Though I prefer a little more meaty."
"I didn't ask about your taste!
"It's in Arnelia's teachings, too, when she rubs her left breast, she says give her right breast. When you say hello to me, it's polite to pass on the three sizes and preferred positions first. If you're complaining, say it in bed."
"Who do you think you are!
"What, you. That's a lot of initial reaction. Hey, are you still a maiden?
"Ha, ha, shameful!
"... keep it around, Ultina"
By the time I saw it and Marduk stopped, there was Ultina, who turned bright red like a hot pot. The man looks at it even more interesting.
And the man saw it, and began to boast of the statue of Arnelia.
