Two days later, I headed straight to the City Guard office.
The guards at the entrance recognized me right away and ushered me into the reception room with utmost courtesy. It was a world away from the attitude they'd given me last time, when I'd come in after beating down that spiritist punk.
Adventurers might just be seen as street thugs, but the title of renowned church priest carried real weight.
Position really does shape how people treat you. In human society, nothing works better than authority.
"We've been expecting you, Priest!"
Not long after, the senior captain entered the reception room.
Dressed in fine clothes topped with a beret, he looked every bit the high-ranking official. He treated me with the same deference.
"I hope you're well, Senior Captain. Keeping busy?"
"Of course! A bit hectic, but doing splendidly. Here's the document you requested, Priest. Take a look."
He sat on the sofa across from me and handed over the papers.
"The official announcement will follow this exactly."
"Is that so?"
I unfolded the document and read it carefully.
It had a grand title: Serial Kidnapping and Murder of Slum Children by a Vile Demon and Its Worshippers.
The senior captain had written it up exactly as I'd laid out in my interrogation, then smoothly added that the City Guard had cooperated with me to fiercely resist and immediately capture the demon and its worshippers on-site before interrogating them.
Of course, they'd died during the perfectly legal interrogation.
Neat and tidy.
At the bottom were the senior captain's seal, the city security chief's seal, and even the mayor's.
All approved in just two days.
"You've handled this impeccably. You've got a real knack for writing."
Good call handing it off to him.
People in high places always pull out all the stops when there's something in it for them.
"No trouble at all. You wrapped up the case so cleanly there was nothing left to tweak. With demons involved, everything moved fast—especially with the official letter from the Brass Celestial Society. Ah, that's a copy. Please take it."
I folded the document and slipped it into my pocket.
"Heh heh, much obliged. You've got real talent. With upright folks like you in key positions, the city's safety is in good hands."
"Kukuku, such high praise—I'm honored."
We sipped tea and chatted about this and that. He and I got along great, both being the types who appreciated a good bribe.
Competent people get even better results when properly incentivized.
"The mayor wants to express his gratitude in person. Can we set something up?"
Then came the unexpected.
The mayor wanted to thank me?
"Hmm, the mayor himself? Understood. If he insists, best to do it soon. Arrange it."
"knew you'd see reason. I'll get it sorted. Where are you staying, if I may?"
"The Inn of Plenty."
Perfect timing.
A direct chat with the mayor would clear up that Demon Proletaria mess in no time.
"Oh, by the way. What about that con artist?"
That left the swindler named Melen something.
I knew about him now, so no letting it slide. His file was already fully documented.
He'd started this whole mess with his scam, after all—he wasn't dodging responsibility.
"We apprehended him, of course."
Famous guy like that? No surprise.
"Punishment for the fraud?"
I cut to the chase, and he grinned.
"Full asset forfeiture."
"Heh heh, full forfeiture... Nice."
"Kukuku, and we've set aside your share separately."
Still smiling, he pulled a coin pouch from his coat and set it on the table.
This guy knew how to get things done.
The kind of talent that could lead the world someday.
"Oh, come on. What do you take a junior priest for?"
"Just a token of appreciation for your help with city security. It's only right. We've taken our cut and the guards' shares for their overnight work, of course."
This guy...!
Solid character!
"You're one of the good ones! May the god you serve bless you richly."
"Kukuku! Thank you!"
"Heh heh!"
I checked the amount while chuckling.
About 40 silvers. No idea his full haul, but after everyone took their piece, this was generous.
"The fraud tied directly to demons made the trial a breeze. Execution date should be soon. No escaping the noose for a monster like that—colluding with demons!"
The con artist faced execution for demon collusion.
"Quite right. Swift execution for the corrupt cleanses the world a bit more."
"Well said."
This was a true business partner.
Fraudster's loot might as well be public property.
With the victims dead from demon worship, we could split it no problem. Money had already flowed up and down the chain anyway.
"Hmm, Senior Captain."
"Yes?"
"There are more demon worshippers."
"Wh-what?!"
"Found out while tracking. Interested?"
"Absolutely!"
The orphanage case was closed perfectly. Handle the Demon Proletaria, and I could head home. With the senior captain on board, that'd be easy.
"If you're game, we can discuss with the mayor next time. It's bigger than it seems—might need official troops."
"We're ready anytime! Cracking something this big would boost my record nicely."
"And the church's reputation. I'm impressed—you're easy to work with!"
"The honor's mine meeting you, Priest!"
We wrapped up and I stepped outside. He offered lunch, but I was busy and declined.
Meeting with the mayor soon.
Homeward bound at last.
Couldn't wait to see Karin and Risha.
Though Karin might be pissed. Kinda worried.
Back at the inn, I stripped and lay with my head on Winia's thigh. I handed her the paper and briefed her on the senior captain chat.
"Darky... how's your brain so sharp? Were you always a junior priest? Damn, you wield that title like a pro."
If you've got position and saintly backing, use it. Hesitate, and you're the sucker.
With the saint as my shield, zero worries.
"Told you I'm smart."
"Dunno, you're still a dummy to me."
This cute girl.
"Heh heh, then play the fool. Winia, chest time. Suck my nipples quick."
"You're such a pervert, Darky."
Winia laughed and unhooked her huge bra.
ㅡGrope grope.
I kneaded her breasts like that. She naturally reached down and stroked me.
"Ah... ultimate bliss... This is life."
"Hee hee, you love it, Darky."
Handjobs from Winia's heavy tits whenever. Pure peace, healing.
No plans mornings or afternoons anyway. Assemblies at night—plenty of time to chill.
"Ooh, look at your dick twitching. That good?"
"Best ever."
Mid-service, Cloudey emerged from the shower.
"Oh? Already at it?"
"Sis, Darky wrapped everything up. Read this."
Cloudey took the paper and scanned it standing there.
"Cloudey, all done. Junior priest life is too easy."
"Hee hee hee, good job, Katt. Wanna play with Mama now?"
"My turn first, sis."
Cooperation's effortless, no church meddling. Junior priest gig was pure gold.
* * * The mayor meeting was set fast.
No ruler lets demons rampage in their turf.
Demon sightings meant chaos, crumbling security, lost taxes, and backlash from churches and neighbors.
All hands on deck.
I was a godsend to him. Senior captain pulled strings—set in two days.
"Katt, be honest. After all I've done, shouldn't you pet my head? I handled the demon hunt solo."
Heading out, Hilde latched on like she'd been waiting.
She was too useful to ditch. Without her, I'd have busted my ass solo for scraps.
"Pet my head quick."
She shoved her head forward.
If she were in succubus form, those horns would've poked my chest.
"You a dog?"
"Your lewd bitch, Katt."
"Fuck."
This crazy bitch...!
"Katt, time to rethink me. Cloudey likes me, right? I kinda like her too. Succubi worship beauty. Can't help it with an elf that stunning."
"Heh heh, yeah. Cloudey's gorgeous."
Facts.
Cloudey praise flipped her mood ecstatic. She knew flattery.
"Whoa, never seen you smile like that."
"Uh."
"Anyway, no big asks. Just head pat once. I'll shut up. I worked hard, yeah? One pat, and I'll devote loyalty and love forever, Master Katt. Please?"
"Who your master, you fuck."
"Even if you hate it, you're my master. So, head?"
Fuck, what to do with her.
Still, her intel was gold—head pat traded fair.
"Hee hee hee... head turns to tits, tits to pussy, ahhh! Katt! Fuck me! Reward sex!"
"Goddamn bitch!"
I grabbed her face as she lunged, pushing back. She pouted and mumbled.
"Hiiing... Fine. I'll be quiet... Next time, then..."
"Sigh, fuck. C'mere."
"Huh?!"
Her gains outweighed this.
I reached out.
"Head here."
"Wha? F-for real? Really really?"
"Hate it? Scram."
"No no! Do it!"
Hilde stood demurely before me, hearts in eyes. As I went to pet, she yelped.
"W-wait, Katt!"
"What?"
"I... um... in my true form... please..."
Twisting, staring—big difference?
"Dropping disguise?"
"Over there, alley..."
So demanding.
Give and take's my rule. I followed to a quiet alley. She checked it empty, then pink smoke engulfed her.
ㅡWhoosh.
Out stepped Hildergart, Pandemonium demon and succubus.
Pale blue hair gleamed; demon horns sprouted beside it. Outfit screamed lewd, hugging her curves; wings, tail screamed demon.
Blackened eyes, fangs... True succubus.
"Katt... I'm ready."
"Ready my ass."
I placed my hand on her head.
"H-hahhh...!"
Slow strokes, and she moaned like climaxing.
Scalp erogenous zone? For real?
"Hey, hey. Quiet."
"Haa, haat...! Uhn, haang! K-Katt...! I'm cumming! Cumming so haaard...! Hii! First time this gooood... Haaaaahhh!!"
Unable to hold, she clenched thighs, rubbed herself to orgasm. Juices trailed down to her ankles.
"What the fuck!"
"Hyaahhhh!!! "
She went full, eyes glazed up at me, then smoked away.
"Haa... can't anymore... See ya, Katt... Hic!"
"Uh, uh... fuck."
Real life?
Even my Heavenly Demon cheat couldn't send her off with a headpat.
