Chapter 276

It has to do With Beddhism

“First off, cut it out with shouting out penis, it’s vulgar . ”

“Sir! Understood… umm, then, wh-what should we do, Master?”

She gazed fixedly at me .

… I have no idea, seriously .

When I looked away from her to escape her gaze, I saw the freshly-constructed church .

Maidence caught my line of sight and looked toward the church . she then looked back at me and spoke .

“Khema-sama . Is there anything concerning what to do at times like this in Beddhism?”

… I see, religion should have doctrine concerning stuff like this, huh .

“What would be done according to White Goddess Faith?”

“In the event of a problem, the best action to take is to refer to your leader . ”

What a very adventurer-god-like answer .

So, in this case, I’d be the leader… yep, I am the village chief .

“Let’s see, right… In times like this, Beddhism says to sort out the problem and let time take care of it . Urgent matters have to be dealt with quickly . Another point is that it’s very flexible… As for who’s at fault, that’s an inconsequential matter for this . If forced, it would say that this was just an unfortunate accident . ”

I patted Maidence and Shikina’s heads .

“But then I wouldn’t feel good about it…”

“In that case, you could offer reparations . Or perhaps you could prepare a replacement?”

“Ooh, that’s right! I could repay it! But I can’t pay it all back at once, so I will lend the Kukkoro family’s heirloom, the [Godly Mattress], as collateral to Maidence-dono . ”

“I am grateful that you would make amends, but you do not need to deposit any collateral . I trust Kehma-sama, and would never dream of disgracing his pupil by demanding that . ”

“Muu, really? Well, I promise to make amends, even if I have to rely on my family to do so . ”

Huh? Hold up . What’s this about [Godly Mattress]? Can we rewind?

“… Shikina . What did you just say about collateral? What was the item?”

“The Kukkoro Family’s heirloom, the [Godly Mattress] . ”

“I think I’m mishearing you . I could’ve sworn you said [Godly Mattress] . ”

“I did say that though?”

… Seriously? I didn’t mishear?

I wound up suddenly getting information on a piece of the godly beddings .

How should I put this… is someone playing a joke on me? To be more specific, who’s behind this? Haku-san? Leona?

Let’s see, so now I know about the [Godly Pillow] in Sia and the [Godly Mattress] being in the Kukkoro family’s possession… And Leona has the [Godly Comforter] . Rokuko has a duplicate of it and Leona’s currently gone to who knows where, so I can ignore her .

“Hmm… Shikina . Err, do you have the [Godly Mattress] here with you now?”

“I do . I was appointed its warden by my father, so I bring it with me everywhe—… ah, that’s a secret! Please pretend that you heard nothing . ”

Shikina easily let go important information .

She’s not doing it on purpose at least . No, maybe she is…? But I mean, it’s Shikina, so maybe it’s just something natural?

… I’ve got nothing to lose, so maybe I’ll try seeing if I could borrow it .

“… Alright . I will give you money to pay your reparations with . Mai-sama, how much?”

“Umm, I’ll check with father . ”

“Please do . So, Shikina . You must entrust collateral with me… to be precise, the [Godly Mattress] . Lend it . ”

“… Umm, did I mishear?”

“No . Lend it . ”

“Muu . Master, what do you intend to do with the [Godly Mattress]?”

“Well . ”

I pointed at the church with my thumb .

“I want to decorate Beddhism’s altar with it to attract people . Also, I want to try sleeping with the [Godly Mattress] . ”

“It’s refreshing to hear you say it so directly…! In that case, Master, alright . I will lend it to you!”

“Are you sure?”

Hearing her say alright so easily, I accidentally asked back out of reflex .

“It’s alright . However, you absolutely must not lose it . It is an heirloom after all . ”

“It will be thoroughly protected . ”

“Then I will hand it to you later . ”

I know that I was the one to give it a shot, but it felt way too simple .

Is this a trap? It wouldn’t be out of place for this to be a trap . Definitely not . I’ll be careful… ah, I should get a church manager before that, huh? With 1,000 DP .

“Alright, then I’ll be heading back . ”

“W-w-wa-wait, Master! The problem’s still not fixed!”

Even though I started to think about a manager for the church and went to return to my room, Shikina restrained me .

“What, the medicine will be reimbursed right? What else is there?”

“Uh, what about m-my p-penis? Master, I want you to teach me how to use it…”

“I will provide you with diapers later . That way you’ll be able to pee yourself as much as you need until you can figure it out yourself . ”

“Diapers!? M-Master, really, diapers would be very shameful for me! Ah, but if Master likes that kind of thing, I won’t hold back . ”

Why’s she blushing like that now? I seriously don’t have that fetish .

“… Oh well, talk to Setsuna about the thing between your legs then . Don’t ask me . ”

“Eh? Why Setsuna-dono?”

“Well—”

Because she’s a futanari—is what I’d started to answer with, but then I remembered that me knowing what was up with Setsuna’s sex didn’t make any sense .

Setsuna is generally considered a female . Me knowing about what Setsuna actually is is due to me stealthily using [Super Transformation] and hearing about it as [Euma] .

“—I mean, well, it has to do with Beddhism . Yeah, it has to do with Beddhism . ”

“Really?”

“Yeah . It came to me in a dream last night . It said relying on Setsuna was alright, so it definitely had to be a prophetic dream . Also, her younger sister Nayuta is an alchemist, so maybe she might know something about the drug . ”

“A prophetic dream!? I’ll ask her then!”

Saying that, Shikina ran to the inn .

Phew, I tricked her .

“Kehma-sama, umm… I am extremely sorry for this, but I will prepare another as soon as possible so that the engagement can continue as planned . ”

“No, rather, I don’t remember ever saying anything about requiring a drug for an engagement?”

“Yes, I understand that . ”

“And the promise was only for a month, did you still need to borrow a fiance’s name? I’d require an extension charge, you know?”

“… Hmm . In that case, Kehma-sama, how about we, the Sia family, lend you the [Godly Pillow] for a time as payment?”

Eh, are you sure?—is what I almost asked .

This conversation took waaaay too good of a turn .

… What’s going on? Did something happen?

Or maybe… no way, is this a Beddhism Miracle!?
