As I Thought, Isn't This an Erotic Game?
As I Thought, Isn't This an Erotic Game?
The next morning, in front of Aisha's Bakery.
Cheon Hae-won appeared with the same menacing look on his face as yesterday.
Aisha, who was waving brightly without even realizing he was angry, had her smile bloom fully, clearly overjoyed that Cheon Hae-won had given her a high-five...
While heading to the cathedral, I was the only one stuck in between them, and it was pure torture not knowing how to react.
"Hey... why are you angry? Can't you at least tell me?"
"Mind your own business."
"So prickly."
It's the same expression I saw on the rooftop; he looks like he won't be satisfied until he beats someone up.
It doesn't seem like I'm the target... but just in case, I switched spots with Aisha and walked as far away from Cheon Hae-won as possible.
"Come to think of it, Hae-won, you didn't know I became a Saint Candidate, right? Was it when I was in high school? I woke up and my hair had turned pink— nom?!"
"Want more?"
"... Mm."
Perhaps to tell her to shut up and keep walking, Cheon Hae-won fed Aisha a couple of Senzu Beans.
The odok-odok sound was pleasant to hear.
Her twin tails, swaying with joy, tickled both me and Cheon Hae-won's backs.
"Are you okay?"
"Hm? You mean the bean flavor? It was nutty and delicious."
"... It's nothing."
Regardless, Cheon Hae-won... was still narrowing his brows while looking at Aisha.
Seriously, stop using recovery items like that!!
We walked for about another 5 minutes like that.
We arrived in front of a pure white building covered in stained glass, located right in the middle of the downtown area.
Crescentia Cathedral. It's the place where Aisha, a Saint Candidate, has her grandfather serving as a bishop.
"Wow..."
Unlike in the pictures, seeing it in person, it was incredibly imposing.
The cathedral was about the size of the Utopia Academy main building, and with golden runes and colorful glass attached to the walls extending up to the third floor, it felt more like a fortress than a cathedral.
What caught my eye most of all was a massive Buddha statue wearing vestments you'd see in Christianity or Catholicism.
I wonder if this is even a place that worships a proper god.
It's probably the effort of the UtoAca production team to avoid various religious issues... though.
If anything, I feel like they'd get more shit for making it a hodgepodge.
It doesn't look like they mixed religions so much as it just looks like a Buddha statue; it's like Buddha devoured all the other religions.
As Cheon Hae-won and I just stared at the Buddha statue, Aisha grabbed our hands and led us.
"What are you guys doing~ Let's go."
"Uh, um... sure."
"Go ahead. I'm going to have a smoke before I go in."
While Cheon Hae-won went to the smoking area to burn some Mana Herb, I entered the cathedral with Aisha.
When you open the cathedral gates and go in, should I call it a place of worship?
I expected to see long wooden pews, an organ, and a cross right away, but the scenery of a rich person's mansion from a cartoon unfolded before me.
As if they knew we were coming, monks stood on both sides of the red carpet and bowed their heads slightly.
"""May blessings be upon Roselia-nim."""
"Long time no see, everyone~!"
The cheerful girl's greeting rang out in the quiet atmosphere.
Aisha greeted them one by one, looking at their faces; the ages were all different, from elderly people to boys and girls around my or Aisha's age.
And, um... I don't know if it's a characteristic of the UtoAca game.
'Isn't the clothing worn by the young women particularly revealing?'
A nun's habit that's common in subculture, form-fitting and split at the sides.
It was even an obscene outfit that didn't fit the purpose of prioritizing abstinence at all, with the side-boob line exposed just like a uniform dress shirt.
After finishing her greetings to everyone, Aisha asked a young monk.
"Where is Grandfather? He always welcomed me whenever I came..."
"He received a revelation at dawn and has been in the study ever since. I told him the Saintess had arrived, so he will likely come out soon."
"Ehehe, I told you I'm not a Saintess yet~ What should we do today?"
"Since it's not a regular worship day, I think you should just play with the children at the orphanage."
"Wow~!"
I was worried I'd be forced to join the religion since I came here for community service, but to think it's just playing with kids.
It shouldn't be difficult.
I spent several years in an orphanage, so that's my specialty.
Aisha, having heard the details from the monk, approached me again.
"Let's change clothes first, they said they prepared clothes for you too!"
"... Change? Me? Into a nun's habit? Why?"
"Because you're a girl?"
During that 50-day trip to Egypt, that burly high school student wearing a gakuran said it, didn't he? If you're a student, you have to wear the uniform.
But isn't there a saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"? They say I must wear it while doing community service.
Naturally, when I resisted and said I didn't want to, I was dragged to Aisha's room like a criminal, with my arms held by nuns.
"No, let go...! How am I supposed to wear something like that?!"
"It's more comfortable than you'd think. Sister, you'll surely like it too."
Don't call me Sister!
...
"Ah, I really want to die."
To think I'd end up wearing a garter belt in my life... Is there anyone in the world more wretched than me?
I have a lot to say, but first of all, this nun's habit—what you see isn't everything.
The part split up to the waist like a cheongsam is a problem, but the straps pressing against my thighs are distracting every time I walk.
"Didn't you wear a negligee when you were at home? You must like it a lot for your family to have sent it in a package— Ughhh?! Do-ah, my cheek, my cheek is stretching~!!"
"I told you, I've never worn anything like that, and I don't like it...!"
Anyway, this Chapssaltteok's mouth is always the problem.
I don't like it.
The long gloves that come up to the middle of my upper arms, the clothes that reveal my panties with a single gust of wind, and the stockings connected to the garter belt.
I had always held on with my steadfast masculinity, but this time, I gritted my teeth until they felt like they would crack to keep from wavering.
Just fuck it!
I want to stop thinking about identity crises or whatever!!
"Argh, aarrgh!!"
Seeing the state of Aisha and me in the full-length mirror leaves me even more speechless.
It hasn't changed that we're both flat-chested, but no matter how I look at it, we just look like females ready to mate at any moment.
"Isn't it better than the Base Suit?"
"Not at all..."
If anything, it's more lewd, not less.
Is it called the aesthetics of concealment?
The nun's habit doesn't disperse the gaze, but makes it focus on the side-boob or waistline.
As the other nuns and Aisha said, it is comfortable as if I'm not wearing anything, but isn't that just because the overall surface area of the fabric is small... I can't believe they wear this stuff so easily.
My thighs rubbing against each other, my armpits rubbing against the gloves... hmm.
'Seriously, isn't this an eroge?'
Knock knock-
Just when I was gaining conviction about the world setting, I heard a knock from outside the door.
Then, a heavy and low-pitched male voice rang out.
"Ah, it's Grandfather! Come in~"
As the door opened, a handsome middle-aged man wearing black vestments entered.
His hair and beard were snow-white, but overall, he had a lot of hair and few wrinkles.
He was slightly shorter than Cheon Hae-won, but his appearance didn't look like a grandfather's at all.
As soon as Aisha saw her grandfather, she ran over and hugged him.
"Hehehe, I missed you!"
"Oh my, our granddaughter~ Have you been well? Why are you so light... Are you eating well? Aren't you hungry? Shall we go get something to eat? Is the academy fun? No one is bullying you, right?"
"Yes! I met Hae-won again and made a good friend too. This is Do-ah! My roommate! I'm planning to eat at the orphanage later!"
The grandfather, who had been lifting Aisha high and spinning her around, put her down and gave me a benevolent smile.
"I am Adam Roselia, the Bishop of Crescentia Cathedral. My granddaughter isn't bothering you, is she?"
"I-I'm Kwon Do-ah. I'm indebted to Aisha a lot. Thanks to her, I'm also... yes. Doing well."
"I see, when doing community service, feel free to call me Grandfather."
"I, I'll try."
Since he's a bishop, he must be in a fairly high position, so wouldn't people say I'm rude if I, not even a direct descendant, just go around calling him that?
I'm already here for community service, so my image is probably bad, so I should behave properly.
"Hahat, you are very polite. Aisha used to call me Grandfather even during worship, so everyone would hold back their laughter sometimes..."
"Oh, Grandfather~ Why are you suddenly talking about that~!"
"Though you are just as lovely now as you were then."
I thought he was a pervert because he let his granddaughter wear clothes like this, but he was just a common granddaughter-fool.
Adam offered me a handshake while receiving a light waist massage from Aisha.
Fortunately, it seems I made a good first impression.
Then what's the next important thing?
Naturally, it's acting as I usually do.
I just don't believe in religion or gods, but it's not like I hate the people who belong to it.
I tried to receive Adam's handshake by supporting my right hand with my left— but.
"......!?"
"........."
Why was it?
Just before my hand touched Adam's, I jumped back two steps without even realizing it.
Ah, I'm fucked.
Just in time, a text message arrived, so I showed Adam the artifact with Arnes's name engraved on it.
"I was startled by the vibration... I'm sorry."
"............... That can happen, no need to apologize~ It makes me happy that young people these days are so polite~"
"Would you like to shake hands again?"
"No, no, it's about time for community service, so let's go."
Did I think I didn't want to touch an old man's hand?
Adam left the room alone first, wearing a bitter expression.
"It's okay~ My grandfather sometimes gets sad, saying he's too old. You don't have to worry too much."
"I told you, it's really not like that..."
Anyway, just now... what on earth was that?
My body just jumped back on its own.
────────────
"Do-ah, try lying down too, it's fluffy and feels really good~"
"It'll wrinkle my clothes... get up quickly."
