v6c233.2 - Intermission 77 - Stella the Priestess decided to go to the Demon Territory
“Ms. Grace, Ms. Bella. Thanks for waiting. As I thought, Ms. Tabitha’s call was about going to the Demon Territory as requested the other day.”
“…… Just like we thought.”
“I knew it. So …… are you going, Stella?”
After speaking with Ms. Tabitha, I immediately joined Ms. Grace and Ms. Bella and told them what we had talked about.
It’s hard to know what Ms. Grace thinks, but …… Ms. Bella looks anxious.
I was the only one in our party of three who could use healing magic, so it was only natural that she would be.
“Yeah. Well, she seems to be pregnant. I think it’s best to have a priest, especially during the early stages of pregnancy, and I’m sure Mr. Alex is anxious about having a child for the first time.”
“How long will you be in the demon territory?”
“She said it would be only a few days. The Sage they’ve been asking for will summon Mr. Alex and the others. Mr. Alex may go back to the demon territory, but the pregnant woman will stay here, and I will come back then.”
“Oh, so that’s it? Thank god! I thought Stella was going to be stuck in the demon territory for a long time.”
“I think it would be difficult to stay in the demon territory for a long time. Mr. Alex is a strong person, and Ellie and the others love him, so they may be okay.”
They say it’s a place to live, but I heard that the only food they have is what Ms. Tabitha sends them, and if they leave the house, they’re in a place where monsters are everywhere.
Considering this, Mr. Alex and the others basically live in a small cabin all the time, and they probably have no entertainment.
Furthermore, Ellie loves Mr. Alex, so when they make love in the small cabin, the others can’t help but see them, and since they have nothing else to do, they join them?
…… Huh? Wait a minute! So does that mean that if I go there, I will hear Ellie, Fiine, and Mr. Alex making love every night!?
H-However, they’re pregnant, so normally he would refrain from doing that, right?
“You said that he’s dealing with three of them every night …… you mean, all three of them are pregnant?”
“…… I heard two of them are pregnant.”
“As expected of an S-class adventurer. He’s amazing in many ways. “
Why does Ms. Grace’s face light up there?
You can’t, okay!? I’m going to give Alex a sermon too, so don’t be jealous!
“I wonder what he’s going to do since two of them got pregnant? He’s an S-class adventurer, so I’m sure he can support two wives, but …… Bigamy? That would be bad in this country, so will they move to a country where that kind of thing is tolerated?”
“I don’t know. But were there any polygamous countries in the vicinity?”
“There’s nothing near here, but it’s not like there’s none. I checked, so it’s okay …… I’ll introduce it to them if push comes to shove.”
Why is Ms. Grace researching such things!?
…… I’m not going to take you there, okay!? I’m afraid Ellie will be angry with me.
“R-Right. Ms. Tabitha said she’s going to recommend a replacement for me while I’m out for a few days.”
“Is that so? I was thinking that I would have to take on a request that was so low level that it wouldn’t require healing magic, but that might be helpful.”
“Y-Yeah. That’s right. I think you will be fine without me for a few days. So, I was hoping you could take the request over here and wait for me.”
When I said that, Ms. Bella looked relieved, but …… Ms. Grace’s shoulders dropped blatantly!?
I knew it, she really was planning on coming with me!?
Ms. Grace said she’s never had a lover before, right? She also said she had no experience, right!?
So why is she …… Don’t tell me that it’s because she has no experience that she wants to do it as soon as possible!?
No, no, no, Ms. Grace is only 17 years old, right? You can do it anytime you want, so don’t be too hasty!
Well, even though I’m nineteen, I’m still inexperienced …… I mean, because I’m a priest and a servant of God, and Ms. Grace is just plain cute, so it’s okay!
“Well, that’s why I’m going to leave the party for a while, but is that okay with you?”
“…… It can’t be helped.”
“Yeah. Circumstances being what they are. But you have to come back, okay? And if you can, tell me how great Alex’s thing is.”
What are you saying, Ms. Bella!?
And Ms. Grace, you nod too much! I’m not going to join in! I won’t make do anything that will make Ellie sad!
At any rate, after getting ready to leave town for a few days, buying all the necessary luggage, and meeting with my replacement healer …… I went to the demon territory to Mr. Alex’s place.
