Chapter 279
If things keep up and Rokuko’s plot works out I’m going to have to work or do any one thing Rokuko tells me to .
I’ve gotta do something .
First off, three of the village’s adventurers showed up while I was working out my plan in the church, so I baptized them .
… But seriously, I was told it was best for there to be a bit extra to it so I had them perform the Sheepe counting ceremony (nap) . There were two more people when I woke up for some reason, but I guess they just wanted to join the religion too .
It’s pretty easy to get more followers, huh… it’s still just the second day .
Well then, I was thinking about it while sleeping, but… honestly, I just have to attract people who don’t have jobs or anything to do .
In other words, me—not! I’m too busy doing my job’s required sleeping .
I have them, those girls who keep playing around carving those kokeshi dolls as a side-job in the dungeon!
Yeah, I’m going to put those succubi to work!
“Which is why I was going to turn up there in front of Succubus Village, but when I thought about about it, I’d only met them as a golem . So having them work at the church in the village would be a bit much, yeah?”
“I suppose~ . So why’d you bring me too, then~?”
I sent Nerune, who’d been busy working on magic formations in her laboratory, to do it .
To be my negotiator, of course .
“I was thinking about having you act as the [Person on the Dungeon’s Side] . ”
“So you want me to deal with it all~ . I don’t mind though~”
I’d already told Setsuna and Nayuta that Neruna was the dungeon’s spy, so I figured it was best to keep my points of contact limited as much as possible .
“Alright, turn on the messenger golem . I’ll operate it from here through the monitor . Right, please refer to the golem as Euma-sama . ”
“Kaaay~, here we go~”
Answering frivolously, Nerune led the black golem I put there into Succubus Village .
I watched through the monitor from behind the scenes .
“Excuse me~”
“An intruder! Let’s have some fun and commemorate the second time it’s happened and—wait, hmmm? Isn’t that Golem-sama?”
[Hey, you seem energetic . I’ve brought some work today . ]
“Work!? Allow me to send for Suira, then!”
The succubus ran inter Suira’s room in the far back .
Suira came out immediately after .
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Golem-san . I’m told that you’re here about work—does it have to do with that girl with you?”
[She isn’t entirely unrelated, but I want to ask you a question first . You know about the village outside of the dungeon?”
Suira nodded . Well, Suira was originally trying to build a brothel there after all .
[A church has been constructed in it . So I want a few of you to work as sisters there . ]
“Sisters? Us?”
[Correct . You would pass as humans with the proper clothing, right?]
I briefly explained Beddhism to her .
About how it was a religion that valued and emphasized rest .
About how I wanted them to work as sisters in the church .
About how I would reward (pay) the workers… Ah, I plan to use whatever alms or offerings the church gets for their wages . I’d pay our inn employees whether or not we had customers, though .
[Do you have any problems with that? Not being able to dress like that, or something?]
“… We would be alright wearing clothes, but wouldn’t sisters that aren’t well-known or have connections with it be sent away?”
[Oh, don’t worry about that . I have a cooperator there . It’ll be taken care of if you have this girl here introduce you . ]
I exchanged looks with Nerune . She smiled .
“I see, so that’s were this girl comes in, then?”
“I’ve already infiltrated the inn~ . Aah~, honestly~, the church needs so much help it’d even settle for goblins’ help~, I just have to say you’re apprentice sisters coming to help~”
[Beddhism generally wouldn’t have any problems even if you said you wanted to take a nap, so it will be alright . So then, how many of you could go?]
I was prepared to purchase the sister outfits costing 200 DP per set .
It came with a hat so it would even hide their horns . Oh, maybe I could insist they have the blood of sheep-type beastkin in them? Eh, they can withdraw their wings and horns? Succubi are amazing…
“… What’s to say she won’t betray us?”
[I guarantee she won’t . She is a dungeon monster, after all . Named, at that . ]
“I~ am called Nerune~, an apprentice witch~… I mean, isn’t it more likely you’d betray us~? Really~”
“… I see . No, we will not betray you . Even if we did, it would only be after informing you . We are not under the dungeon’s control, but we are indebted to you . ”
Ah, there’s the possibility that they’ll have to betray me, huh . They have other people they’re indebted to, like Leona .
Suira thought for a moment, then gave her answer .
“In that case though, everyone . ”
Whoops . Including Michiru, there are ten succubi… that’d be over budget .
[… What about Succubus Village?]
“I just mean that we can all go, the number actually going would depend on how many would be employed . ”
[Err, I mean, are you that tired of living here?]
“Honestly, this area is peaceful and that’s nice, but… there aren’t any people here, so there is a shortage of vitality essence in the air . I hasn’t influenced us yet, but sooner or later there should be someone whose health deteriorates… I was thinking about consulting you about it before it happened, though . ”
What, succubi needed something like that? It comes from people, so maybe it’s like a subtype of DP or something?
[You’d been alright so far though?]
“We were somewhat near to human villages, as well as having Leona-sama with us… she was able to supply us more than enough all by herself . She is erotic . Super erotic . As the incarnation of eroticism, she could easily supply even a hundred succubi herself . ”
Seriously, Leona is crazy . Compared to her, Shikina’s just some girl who’s heard about sex through the grapevine .
She just has a big mouth, I guess .
[Then… should I send over goblins to, err…?]
“Geh, that would be a last resort . It’s like if we were starving and that was our only choice, some of us would choose to die… And I don’t want Michiru to taste that…”
Suira’s face looked like she swallowed something bitter… Yep, goblins are really disgusting .
“Which is why I would appreciate us going to the village . I am still uneasy about it, though . ”
[Hmm . Then by having everyone go, perhaps we could enact a system of shifts…?]
It’ll be fine to have them use the back door for coming and going… and if it’s not a rush, I could even have the Dyne Company order the sister outfits .
Let’s go with it not being a problem to rush five outfits .
[Then for now, I’ll prepare five sister outfits for you . Please share them . ]
“Michiru’s size wouldn’t match others’ . Is it alright for her to keep a set for herself?”
[Sure, negotiation complete . I will prepare the outfits and have Nerune deliver them . Please make sure there are five people ready to head into the village . ]
“Yeah . And please make one of those sets a child’s . ”
[I understand . ]
With that, Nerune and I temporarily left Succubus Village .
“Ooh, so they are Beddhist apprentice sisters? Welcome . ”
“That’s right, Maste—… Priest-sama~”
I was talking to Nerune at the Beddhism gathering . Behind her were the five apprentice sisters (Succubi) .
Nerune introduced Suira and the other succubi as Beddhist apprentice sisters that came from another town .
And I was the priest who would amiably accept them .
Yep, it’s a farce!
Obviously, as Beddhism is still unknown to basically any other village .
But the succubi, believing the lie, were relieved . Some of them were looking at me with passionate gazes though… I wonder if succubi find clergymen tasty?
“Umm~, there’s five others that aren’t here right now~, but could you accept all of them~? It’s fine if they can only come five at a time~”
“Hmm? So they’re commuting or something? Guess they’re living somewhere . Would the five be staying at the church in shifts be fine?”
“Yeah yeah~ . Ah, but they’re only apprentices so they still don’t know much about Beddhism~, is that alright~?”
“Of course . As the scripture says, [Everyone has an equal right to Rest], Beddhism accepts all . Besides, we are short on manpower right now… it seems as though they have their circumstances, but I will rest my eyes on that matter . One wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly if they worried about each and every matter . ”
I looked to Suira and addressed her . She’s as beautiful as ever… for such a beautiful sister to be a succubus… yep, we’re going to get a lot more people .
“Err, Suira, was it? You are the representative of the apprentice sisters, I take it?”
“Yes . Thank you very much for your hospitality, Priest-sama… Good Night . ”
Suira awkwardly brought her hands before her chest and prayed .
Come to think of it, the succubi were supposed to have erased my memory huh .
Perhaps I should tease them a little to make them keep their distance a bit?
“… Oh? Have we met somewhere before?”
“Eh!? No, no, we haven’t!”
“Hmm… was it just my imagination? No, I feel like I’ve met you… well, alright . And you, little lady, nice to meet you… I think?”
“Fueh!? Ah, umm, nice to meet you, Village Chief-san!?”
“M-Michiru . This is Priest-sama . Priest-sama, alright?”
“Hah hah hah, I’m also the village’s chief, she can call me whichever she prefers . You don’t need to be so polite either, you can talk however’s easiest for you . ”
Now they shouldn’t want to be involved with me any more than necessary .
They might figure out what’s going on if I’m not careful interacting with them, after all .
“Let me guide you through the church, this way please . ”
With that, I succeeded in making the succubi be the sisters managing the church .
See that, Rokuko? Things won’t go how you’re planning!
… Well, honestly, compared to doing work, hearing whatever Rokuko’s wanting wouldn’t be much right?
