Despite Paul's futile protests, the first Saintess selection mission was ultimately set as defeating monsters in the labyrinth.
Whether Archbishop Astus successfully persuaded the other archbishops, or whether they genuinely believed it... the other archbishops also seemed to feel that the Church needed someone capable of fighting the Hero Devourer.
The note left by Astus stated that a labyrinth that could be easily cleared by a three-person team of beginner to intermediate level would be assigned.
It noted that there were no level restrictions for candidates, but adventurer levels had to be below level 30. The labyrinth was reportedly designed to be clearable in about three days.
Fortunately, the difficulty was not expected to be too high, but Paul still seemed completely broken, constantly muttering "What to do, what to do?" and unable to calm down.
He seemed quite normal when quiet... but this sudden outburst was truly disheartening... After calming Paul down, and after much consideration... it was finally decided to spend a week maximizing Claire's level,
and then slowly clear the labyrinth with safety as the top priority. Even if the priest's stats are low, leveling her up will at least help a little.
I initially considered having Claire temporarily join Beast Paradise, but considering it's more efficient to bring the monsters to near death so she can gain experience alone, I postponed her joining.
It's a little of a shame. I even brought contract ink just in case. But Claire is already my female, she'll join eventually.
Having made the decision, I accepted a suitable raiding quest from the guild office and set off under the fearful and astonished gazes of the city's residents.
The guild office and the adventurers seemed to already know about me… but everyone was still terrified.
If I had some free time, I'd like to stroll around the city and chat about some interesting things… what a pity.
"Claire. Are you tired? Give me your luggage…"
"No need. Paul. Don't worry about it."
"Claire. Stabbing here will kill the monster…"
"Okay, then move aside a bit. Paul."
"Claire! You have blood on your hands! Let me clean them…"
"Haa. It's just a little blood, don't make a fuss. Paul." And so, a week of feeding Claire experience points.
That week, Paul's indifference towards Claire was enough to make onlookers weep.
Although Claire was gradually developing feelings for me… this was just too cold… Paul.
What did you do to instantly reduce her affection level to zero?
"…Mr. Shimo. Claire hasn't been in a bad mood since this morning, has she?"
"Uh… well. We just met and then ran into Mr. Paul… could it be that the pressure of exams has made her sensitive?"
"O-I see…" Oh dear. But Paul, you're different from Ars; you're quite good at reading people.
But it's too late. Wait a little longer. You'll soon be sent back home like a cripple.
This went on for a week, as we mocked Paul for being snubbed by Claire while feeding Claire experience points.
With Paul and Claire's support, Lisbeth's precisely controlled magic, and my brute strength... even though it was just suppressing monsters and letting Claire finish them off, it was much easier than when Ars was around. We could easily suppress monsters encountered by beginner to intermediate adventurers.
Thanks to this concentrated transfer of experience points, Kleia's level skyrocketed, finally reaching its peak on the last day...
...... Name: Nelice Kleia
Guild: —
Level: 19
Ethel Value: 17960
Stamina: 179/Strength: 34/Magic: 89/Agility: 41
Skills: [Healing] [Purification] [Light's Blessing LV.8] [Blessing LV.8] [Divine Protection LV.8]
Special Items and Achievements: Senior Sister of the Ladia Branch of the Cult of Goddess
...... From level 13 on the first day, she skyrocketed to level 19 in just one week.
That's even higher than when she first met Lisbeth. Judging by level alone, Kleia could be considered an adventurer, right? However, Paul seemed quite shocked by Kleia's attribute growth beyond her level.
Even with the level increase, these stats don't seem like those of a clergyman.
Come to think of it, Lisbeth seems to have heard something similar…
"Even at the same level, the differences in attributes are due to variations in training and talent. The level of training before leveling up affects the magnitude of attribute increases. Afterwards, if you don't continue to participate, attributes will decrease,
but previously achieved attribute values can be regained even without leveling up. However… Claire, as a clergyman, clearly hasn't trained…"
Seeing my slightly puzzled expression, Paul seemed to sense my question and proactively explained.
So… adventurers get training simply by hunting monsters, making it easier to increase attribute values? While clergy don't directly participate in hunting, devoting their time to prayer, making attribute growth difficult
?
I see… that's the reason for individual attribute differences… It feels like raising the attribute cap through training, and then reflecting that through leveling up.
But Claire hasn't done any extra training… Could it be that my horse semen has some special effect!?… That shouldn't be possible.
I chuckled, dismissing my thoughts, and began making final preparations for tomorrow's exam with Paul and my females.
......
"Spare medicine…First aid…Antidote…"
"Chirp♡Slurp♡Slurp…♡Haa, Hiss, Huff…♡"
"Slurp♡Chirp♡Slurp♡Chirp♡"
"Three days' worth of simple food…Water…And…"
"Hmm, well water…Tsk♡Chirp♡Slurp♡"
"Chirp, Chirp♡Huff…♡Haa♡Slurp♡"
"The money earned from a week's mission, minus the odd change, is 1 gold coin plus 95 silver coins…"
"Haa…Master's horse testicles…So heavy…So powerful…♡"
"You can feel the wriggling inside, right? This is Master's active horse spirit being created♡"
"There's also a tax deducted here…missions with a reward of less than 1 gold coin…" "Tax rate 6%...so..."
"Ah! Claire! That sticky Cooper fluid that just seeped out! I wanted to suck it!"
"Hehe♡ The first one to drink it is the winner, Liz♡"
"...Hmm..."
"Haaah...♡Hooa♡ Even with two people sticking up to serve me...it's completely overflowing..."
"Hehe...♡Comparable to those inferior males, right? Claire?"
"Chuupu...♡Yes...♡Really...♡Liz...♡"
"..." Although it wasn't guild business, as the guild leader, I still diligently checked various documents...
As I sat on the bed flipping through a pile of documents, two naked people, wearing only spur collars, quietly approached and gently pulled down my pants.
When I gently stroked their heads, they clung to my Cock as if they had been waiting for a long time and began to serve me, while having that kind of conversation.
While Lizbet was always like this, Claire, who initially even hesitated to enter the room...now seemed quite skilled at clinging to my Cock. For the first three days, she would faint and fall asleep after anal sex once, but before I knew it, she could handle two or three times... Except for her hymen still being intact, Kleia is now purely my female. So...
Name: Nellis Kleia
Race: Human
Level: 19 (3140/7420)
Title: Female Saintess Candidate of the Goddess Cult Who Has Begun to Worship Cock
Age: 27
Female Skills: [Lewdness LV.6] [Male Scent Poisoning: LV.8] [Horse Semen Poisoning LV.7] [Desire LV.8] [Submission LV.8] [Obedience LV.8] [Faith LV.4] [Affection LV.3]
Female Records: [First Kiss: Cock] [First Anal Sex: Cock]
Male Affection: Mother Paul 4% Shimo 66% Others 30%
During their conversation, I secretly opened Kleia's status bar without being noticed.
The most striking thing was... Paul's affection level had plummeted to rock bottom.
Ars had never seen such a dramatic drop. What on earth did Paul do?
Other stats were actually higher than before, so it seems affection level really does represent one's importance in a female's heart.
It's a bit strange because it's displayed as a percentage.
So now, in Claire's eyes, Paul is even less than a random guy on the street?
No, that wouldn't be showing Paul's affection level.
It means he's still a bit stronger than some uncertain target.
Although he's basically finished.
His affection level dropped so low... and his skills are fully activated due to his love, even adding the description "admiration for Cock" to his title.
Judging from the title description, it's etched into her soul; she probably genuinely admires my penis.
"Well... it's about time to start aiming for Claire's virginity..."
"...Ahaha♡" Lisbeth, kneeling on my Cock, chuckled as she put the papers she was reading to the bedside table and stared at Claire's status bar in the air, deep in thought.
She asked Claire, "...Claire. How about it? It's about time you made up your mind, isn't it?"
"...A mind, huh..." Faced with Lisbeth's question, Claire moved her lips away from my Cock, a slightly troubled expression on her face...
"...Yes...it seems like all I need to do now is make a decision..."
She tilted her head, as if deep in thought.
After a moment of this struggle, Claire shook her head regretfully with a subtle expression.
"Still...I can't make up my mind. I feel...something's missing..."
What's missing...what could it be? Could it be the budding love?
Judging from the current status bar, even if Paul doesn't become my female, it seems he's already out of the running…
"However… before the Saintess selection ends… I should be able to make a decision."
"…Heh heh♡I see♡"…So what?
Anyway, her heart is already leaning towards me. Why not properly nurture Claya's virginity before enjoying her?
After all, Claya can't escape me now.
"Alright. Take your time thinking about it. How about we try the first dose of horse semen today?"
"Okay~ Master♡ Ah. The horse testicles are twitching!"
"Oh dear…I'm so sorry. Master. I'll serve you right away."
Hearing my words, the two hurriedly pressed their lips to my horse testicles, each grabbing one and kneading it.
Claya, who had initially looked troubled, immediately adopted a female demeanor, continuing to serve me diligently with respectful address.
After enjoying this service for a while, when the two simultaneously pressed their lips to my horse testicles…
"Ahhh~♡Chumm♡"
"Hooah, ah…♡Splatter♡" Cock, sandwiched between their faces, ejaculated, staining their faces white.
"Haa♡Master's ejaculation♡Like a fountain♡"
"So amazing…♡One ejaculation filled the room with fragrance…♡Haa…♡" My two females licked the horse semen sprayed on their faces in a daze, their expressions intoxicated.
I watched with satisfaction as they savored the afterglow, indulging in the horse semen on their faces and bodies, and suddenly grinned, asking.
"Although we're going to the dungeon tomorrow, no one is allowed to sleep until we pass out. Who wants to go first?"
"Me~♡Today, Liz also wants to start with anal sex~♡"
"Then…Master. Please pat Claire's ass…while stirring with your fingers…♡" And so, today, until dawn, I continued a fiery night with my females.
