After neutralizing the Virginia sisters and using the
After taking a breather, we soon showed up at the mansion of Olivia Wildfang, the Lady of Seadoor.
The purpose, of course, was to report on the completion of the request and various aspects of the current incident.
"What...?! The Thirteen Holy Swords of the Holy Kingdom of Romalia have taken up residence on the northern plains?!"
Olivia , shaking her voluptuous body in a highly exposed outfit, opened her eyes wide. Her eyes were fixed on the magic item that seemed to have caused the death worms to appear in large numbers, and on the tied up Virginia sisters.War Tiger man
Although the Virginia sisters had been completely neutralized, there was no doubt that they were the culprits of this incident. The final disposition of the sisters was to be discussed with Olivia, who had been the client, and so this was the course of action.
"However... it seems that these sisters are also victims of the church. I would like to ask for leniency if possible."
"Indeed. The casualties of this incident were, so to speak, on the battlefield. There is no way that they will go unpunished, but as a token of our sympathy, we will treat the sisters respectfully as prisoners of war. ...But even so."
Olivia gave Sister Virginia a sympathetic look, then bared her fangs and growled.
"I never thought the Holy Land of Romalia would be so serious about its behind-the-scenes manipulation. It seems the church's corruption is far deeper than we expected. With that being said, the various disputes occurring within the country right now could not have been explained by this..."
Olivia muttered softly while placing her hand on her chin and thinking about something.
Seeing that she seemed to be becoming more cautious towards the church, Sister Claire and I nodded to each other.
"So you're really going to talk to me?"
"Yes. It is only natural that the Fang King Federation will become more wary of the church after this incident. If that's the case, the longer I put off explaining about me, the more distrust they will feel. I would have liked to wait until I had built up more trust, but... now that things have come to this, there is no room for hesitation."
Quietly confirm one last time.
Then Sister Claire took a step forward.
"Your Lord Olivia. Before I report on this incident, there is one more thing I must tell you."
"? What?"
"My true identity and the reason I came to this country."
In an instant, Sister Claire's usual light-hearted demeanor disappeared.
And she told everything to her lordship, Olivia.
Her true identity is the church's supreme leader, the Priestess of Oracle.
His life was threatened by a corrupt church and he barely escaped.
Before being weakened by the Church's machinations and invasions, they tried to join forces with the demi-human nation.
And when Claire actually recounted some of the prophecies that had come to her by chance, Olivia, who had been speechless at the absurd stories, gasped in astonishment.
"You mean… that Elizabeth Prometheus Romalia… the
"You might not believe it, but..."
I catch sight of Olivia, whose eyes are wide.
"What she said is true. It's only natural that people would suspect that the head of the church subjugating the Holy Knights was a fabrication, but we really came to this country to fight the church――"
"Oh no, it's okay."
Olivia interrupted me, holding her forehead.
"It's certainly hard to believe, but... let's believe the story."
Olivia said that so matter-of-factly, which made me widen my eyes.
"Really? I hate to say it myself, but it's possible that the church is using this incident to curry favor with the Fang King Federation."
"No, I don't think so. If we had continued on this path, we would have had the castle surrendered without a bloodbath. There was no need to go to the trouble of such an absurd way of currying favor. Besides--"
"I rose to the position of lord thanks to my ability to judge people rather than my physical strength," Olivia said with a hearty laugh.
"However, the alliance is obviously not something I can decide on my own. I need to negotiate with the king of this country."
Saying this, Olivia took out the lord's seal from the desk in her office.
"Negotiating with the King will not be easy, but I will write you a letter. Of course, I will avoid any wording that would reveal your true identities. With this, I'm sure it will be easy to get an audience with the King."
"Oh my, really?!"
"Of course. If this will just repay 10% of the debt I owe you for saving my city, it will be a small price to pay."
Sister Claire jumps for joy.
I was also grateful for Olivia's understanding and decided to ask for just one more thing.
"Thank you, Olivia. Now, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you."
"Yes. You can tell me anything."
"I would like you to continue to publicize for a little longer that the northern highway remains impassable."
"Hmm... what do you mean?"
"The Virginia sisters are the church's greatest fighting force. They are one of the Thirteen Holy Swords. If these two were defeated and the road blockade was lifted, the church would become extremely vigilant. So for the time being, I want to give the illusion that the church's behind-the-scenes operations are going well."
"I see… so you want to keep the enemy off guard at least until we officially form an alliance. That's a good move. However."
Olivia narrowed her eyes.
"As you know, the food situation in this city is close to its limit. With the north highway being widely publicized as unusable, large-scale transportation is not possible and the food supplies will not last, but on the other hand, there is no way to secretly transport an entire city's worth of food. How do you plan to solve that?"
"Oh, then it's probably okay."
"teeth?"
As Olivia watched with wide eyes, I fully opened up the "sex room."
And what comes out is - a huge amount of food.
(It was a good thing that I asked Merchant Rouge, Ant Queen Regina, and Dungeon City Empress Stacey to gather food as soon as I received a request from Olivia.)
"I have a special warp and item box. So I was able to sneakily bring food from far away in an instant. Ah, but it's only been a little over a day since I asked you to gather the food, so the amount is still small… but how about this for now?"
With that, I emptied most of the food stored in the room.
It was enough to fill the entire courtyard of the mansion.
I wondered if this was enough to satisfy the hunger in the town, and looked back at Olivia.
"Ha, ha... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Olivia was laughing out loud.
What's wrong?!
"Oh no, excuse me. Kukuku, in addition to the strength to take down the Thirteen Holy Swords, I can't believe he also has such a ridiculous skill.... Well, even though we are enemies, I don't want to belittle the sect that other people believe in..."
Olivia wiped the corners of her eyes.
"I was right to reject the indoctrination of the Romarian religion. A sect that is viewed with hostility by such an eccentric person must have been abandoned by God."
With that, he shook my hand and said, "I once again hope that you will conclude an alliance with the Fang King Federation."

after that.
As expected, I cannot reveal the details of my
Just to be on the safe side, his powers were kept under control with rare restraints designed to suppress his magical powers, and he was to atone for his sins as Olivia's aide, while also staying in the city as a warp base for food supplies.
And so, in order to recover from the fatigue of having overcome such a great battle, we decided to take it easy in the city for a few days before heading for the capital of the Fang King Federation.
Olivia introduced me to the best inn in town, where I was given a free stay, and I was regaining my strength by eating the specially prepared Sea Door cuisine that she had prepared for me. But then, one night...
--Knock knock
"Hmm? I wonder. I didn't order room service."
I tilt my head at the sudden knock and open the door.
My eyes widened at the unexpected visitor.
"You're in the way, Hero-sama."
"Olivia?"
Standing on the other side of the door was the lord, Olivia, dressed in a robe as if incognito.
Further behind her stood several women from the Valkyrie Corps, similarly clad in robes, who were likely her guards.
They were the captain, the cow beastman Bastia-san, and the other members of the squad, including the cat beastmen and horse beastmen, who had launched a surprise attack that night.
While I was wondering why the Valkyrie Corps members were all red-faced and nervous, Olivia slipped off her robe.
"picture"
Then my last shock hit me.
That's because Olivia was only wearing sexy underwear that accentuated her voluptuous body.
"I told you, Hero. If you manage to solve this case... I promise you a huge reward in many ways . "
Olivia's eyes were shining suspiciously, like that of an excited wild animal .War Tiger man
