Chapter 203: Faye’s Payday (1)


    Faye was scribbling something alone at the desk. Sitting right next to her, I grumbled softly.


    “Something’s wrong here.”


    “Oh, huh? The mixing order should be correct… Ah! There’s no margin in the ratio? This way, even a slight error will cause failure. I need to add moonlight powder to reduce reactivity… Oh, no? Then I have to revise the recipe from the beginning…”


    Faye was muttering to herself. It seemed she was oblivious to me.


    Feeling a bit annoyed by this, I lightly tapped Faye’s chest resting on the desk and asked.


    “Senior Faye, what’s more important, me or your work?”


    “Kyaa! Th-that, of course, it’s you! Heh. It feels good to hear this question directly.”


    Faye was grinning as if there was some kind of romantic fantasy in the question. Lying half on the desk, I looked up at her and asked.


    “Anyway. What I meant by something being wrong wasn’t the recipe. I was talking about that.”


    I nodded my head towards the center of the carriage.


    The women, seemingly forming some sort of camaraderie, were sharing tea and cookies.


    Even Helena, who had been wary of Ca, Elisha, and Iris because they were rted to the cult, was now chatting with them.


    However.


    “Why have things be more awkward between us when they’ve be so close? I thought I looked pretty cool in the dungeon…”


    “Haha… I think you should reflect on yourself a bit more, Junior.”


    “Handsome. Wealthy. Capable. A perfect man loved by the gods?”


    “…Yes. If that’s how you see yourself, then that’s what it is.”


    For some reason, Faye, with a subtle expression, stroked my head as Iy on the desk.


    What?


    Feeling a bit odd, I spent a moment stroking the chest in front of me.


    With her face slightly blushing, Faye suddenly lowered her head and whispered softly.


    “Hey… Junior? You want to get closer to Sister Helena, but it’s not working out, so you’re a bit down, right?”


    “Not exactly down, but it’s somewhat simr.”


    “Then. You know. How about getting closer to another one instead?”


    “What? No, it wouldn’t mean anything to get close to someone else… mmp?”


    Just as I was about to say it would be hard to find someone with potential like Helena now, Faye covered my mouth with her palm and brought her lips close to my ear.


    “For example… someone wearing a nun’s robe?”


    “Huh.”


    Come to think of it, I had received a nun’s robe but hadn’t used it yet.


    Maybe because I kept my mouth shut, Faye pressed her lips to my ear, whispering temptingly.


    “You’ve been holding back a lot too, right?”


    “That’s true.”


    “I’m in the same boat.”


    “……”


    Ever since we got on the carriage, I hadn’t had a proper chance due to Helena’s watchful eyes.


    Even though this carriage was fast, it still took quite some time to travel from the academy in the center of the continent to the main headquarters of the Church of Righteous Radiance at the eastern end.


    Even though we’d arrive in a few days… Could I hold out for those few days?


    Should I just secretly do it with Faye today?


    Noticing my wavering mind, Faye continued in a subtle voice.


    “How about a confession…?”


    “!!!”


    That was the decisive blow.


    Taking out the nun’s robe from my inventory, I handed it under the desk, and Faye quickly received it and put it into her subspace.


    Finally, Faye’s face pulled away.


    Her moist lips curved into a characteristic eerie smile.


    “Hehe. It’s been a while since I’ve had you all to myself. There are so many things I want to do.”


    “…Let’s do them all today.”


    Suddenly, the world started to look beautiful.


    <hr>


    The carriage sent by the Church of Righteous Radiance was practically a moving house. Therefore, there was no need to avoid camping out.


    The interior of the carriage was much better than most inns and equipped with all kinds of convenient magical tools.


    For that reason, we parked the carriage on a suitable road and spent the night.


    Making sure not to wake the sleeping party, I held my breath for a moment and quietly stepped out of the carriage.


    <em>“Phew…”</em>


    Feeling the cold night air fill my lungs, I stretched lightly.


    Not long after, the carriage door opened again.


    <em>Creak.</em>


    “Did you wait long, Junior?”


    “I waited a bit for everyone to fall asleep.”


    When I shrugged my shoulders, Faye hunched hers apologetically.


    I lightly patted Faye’s shoulder as I wrapped my arm around her.


    “Hey. Why are you sulking? I haven’t been paying much attention to youtely, so sometimes things like this are nice, right?”


    “Yeah… thanks.”


    Faye smiled softly.


    Last time it was Iona, before that Ca and Elisha, and before that Iris.


    Although I spent a lot of time with Faye, it had been a while since we had a private moment together.


    “Shall we walk for a bit?”


    “Let’s… We should go somewhere we won’t be heard.”


    Faye giggled to herself as she leaned against me, seeming quite pleased.


    Feeling her soft chest press against my upper body, I enjoyed the sensation as we stepped off the road.


    The night sky was densely studded with stars. The sound of crickets came from somewhere. And as soon as we stepped off the path, the scene unfolded like a forest.


    “How’s academy life these days, Senior Faye?”


    “Oh? That’s unusual for you to ask something like that, Junior.”


    “Well… I heard you’ve been doing well since thest duel, but there have been various eventstely, right?”


    “True. There were rumors throughout the academy that I was your girlfriend, and then you caused all sorts of incidents.”


    “Incidents? They were all necessary actions.”


    “But to me, they were no different from incidents. You almost died, didn’t you?”


    I had nothing to say to that….


    As I scratched the back of my head awkwardly, Faye tugged lightly on the arm I had draped over her shoulder.


    Soft.


    Faye continued, rubbing her cheek against the back of my hand.


    “But it’s okay. You returned safely, after all. Thanks to that, a lot more people have been talking to metely.”


    “Really…?”


    “Yes. People are asking me to introduce them to you. Of course, I turned them all down. I’m the only one who can make potions for you, after all.”


    A slightly boastful tone.


    Since she was in the alchemy department, it seemed they were trying to connect through potion making?


    “Hehe… Thanks to you, Junior, my academy life has be much easier.”


    “Oh? Did you make any friends?”


    “…Not exactly friends, but at least I’m not ignored or treated like I don’t exist anymore.”


    “……”


    Somehow, that’s a bit sad.


    Sensing my mood, Faye lifted her head from my hand and looked up at me.


    “Don’t look at me like that. I’m enjoying life these days. I have you, Junior, andrades I’ve gotten closer to thanks to you.”


    “Comrades?”


    “Yes. Comrades who have been cored by you, Junior.”


    She tapped her neck lightly and then slipped out of my arms.


    As I nkly watched her, she quickly hid behind arge tree nearby.


    “Senior Faye?”


    When I called her name, she peeked out, showing her face and chest.


    “This should be far enough. I’ll change now, so wait there for a moment, Junior.”


    “I wanted to watch you change…”


    “No! That would ruin the fun.”


    “Hmm. Fine. But you have to act like a real nun, not just wear the clothes, okay?”


    “Junior, you’re really serious about this, huh? Alright, I’ll try my best.”


    Nodding with a mix of admiration and exasperation, shepletely hid behind the tree.


    <em>Rustle. Rustle.</em>


    I heard the sound of fabric and skin brushing against each other right in front of me.


    Come to think of it, this is my first time with cosy, isn’t it?


    Just thinking about that made the sounds alone fill me with excitement and anticipation.


    What would Faye as a nun look like?


    While imagining various scenarios in my head, I waited briefly.


    “Junior. Are you there?”


    “Yes. I’m here.”


    “Uh… I’ve changed, so I called you. I’lle out now, okay?”


    A slight hesitation. Soon, a small figure hopped out from behind the tree.


    <em>Bounce.</em>


    I deliberately looked away from the first thing I saw and took a careful look at Faye’s entire figure.


    First, her hair. Trying to appear somewhat neat, she tied her messy hair into a ponytail.


    Though she couldn’t give up her bangs, which covered half of her ck eyes.


    Her flushed skin and hesitant lips made it obvious that she was extremely embarrassed.


    Below that, a long cor covered her neck, and… an oddly emphasized chest.


    Despite the ample nun’s robe, it seemed Faye’s chest couldn’t be hidden, swelling as if about to burst.


    Moreover, the ck nun’s robe was stretchy, but only the chest part was made of a different white material, which might exin it.


    What? It was supposed to have size adjustment magic on it…


    Oh, wait, was that it? Did it adjust the overall size but not specific parts?


    Nodding at the suspiciously emphasized chest, I lowered my gaze further.


    The tight robe clung to her body, revealing the outline of her navel. And her bare white legs were visible through the side slit for mobility.


    Despite being a nun’s robe, it only felt erotic no matter where I looked.


    “…Senior Faye. Aren’t you supposed to wear something underneath this?”


    “Well, usually, but… you’re going to take it off anyway, right? So I didn’t even wear underwear. Want to see?”


    As she slightly lifted the nun’s robe, a glimpse of Faye’s bare skin could be seen through the gap.


    Feeling my rationality half flying away, I ced my hand on the tree behind Faye.


    <em>Bang!</em>


    “Eek!”


    Faye flinched at the sudden m, but I continued without hesitation.


    “At midnight. And in such a secluded ce. What are you thinking, Sister Faye?”


    “Huh?”


    Realizing I had started role-ying, Faye hurriedly cleared her throat.


    “Ahem. O-oh today, I wanted to talk to you, Brother Yandel, about your usual conduct!”


    A bizarre mix of her usual tone and a formal one. Seeing her nce up at me, I knew it.


    This won’t be easy to do half-heartedly.
