Dragon and Ogre, Sin and Blame (1/79) Chapter 77.1: Overlimit Skill Holder Vol 5

Vol 5: Chapter 77 (1)

Non-san's Master, the sex appeal monster—Oops, I mean, Riviera-san is indeed Non-san's teacher, and a big-shot of the church.

「You were surprised? There are many people who are surprised when I tell them I am from the Church. People don't seem to realize that God does not particularly forbid naughty things.」

Yeah... there is no other way to describe her as anything but a sex appeal monster.

We moved to the office room in the church. Non-san, Asha, Riviera-san and I sat at a table. Riviera-san tried to sit next to me but Non-san took that spot, forcing Riviera-san to sit across from me. Riviera-san's appearance is really bad for my heart, so I actually appreciated Non-san's help.

Asha sat next to me on the other side and kept a vigilant eye on Riviera-san. I hope she will not grow up to be like Riviera-san even by mistake. A good example of what not to become is also important.

「Non-san, regarding Dante-san and the others-」

「Reiji-kun, the fact that the High Elf princess is here means-」

「Umm, I have the vitality elixir-」

「The decoration in this room is tasteless. Let's decorate it with flowers.」

I, Non-san, Asha, and Riviera-san all spoke at the same time, causing information congestion. One of them even opened up with information we could do without.

「Well... umm, let me start first.」

I decided to talk about everything that happened so far. I talked about being able to bring Asha back. About the secret elf elixir which could be of use to Lark. And I also thanked them for treating Lark.

「Lark looks a little better at the moment. Thank you very much.」I said.

「............」

「...Non-san?」

Non-san's expression turned gloomy in response to my words.

「——It's not working at all.」

Riviera-san, who had been looking around the room until then, said sullenly while resting her chin in her hand.

「I-Is that so?」I asked.

「Me and this unworthy disciple of mine slammed all of our mana at that girl, you know? Even an old man on the verge of death would stand erect like a tower after all of that healing, but the Lark girl just doesn't respond to it at all.」

...Please don't call it "erect". Non-san's face is turning bright red, and Asha is staring in puzzlement. I am not going to explain it to Asha cause that will only bring more trouble.

「On the contrary, how can you distinguish the "recovery" that even we, as professionals, can barely distinguish? O' Hero of the Red Gate Battle...」

「............」

This was... a difficult question to answer.

Although Riviera-san was smiling, she did not trust me. Of course, it's only natural since we just met, but I felt like she was skeptical of me from the beginning.

Perhaps she has heard something about me. She seemed to even be acquainted with the mayor of this town.

But why does she doubt me?

「M-Master. What's wrong? Usually, whenever you see a man, you start drooling for them though.」Non-san said.

「Shut up, Non. For real.」

「—Lark is my sister. Of course I can tell how she is doing by looking at her complexion.」

There is no way I was going to talk about[World Ruler]. So, I gave a bland answer instead.

「Hmm... well, whatever.」Riviera-san said.

「Master...」Non-san muttered.

...Is she somewhat convinced or not?

「But still, that girl's condition is abnormal. I have never seen anything like it before. She is not hurt, not sick, but simply waning. Like an old lady. If left as she was, that girl's situation would have been similar to a snake's cast off skin.」

「............」

「It was a wise decision to call for me at this time.」

As expected, Lark's condition was pretty bad, after all.

「I see... Non-san, thank you for calling Riviera-san.」I said.

「N-No, it's fine. There was not much else I could do.」

Non-san hurriedly shook her head, but Riviera-san-

「Hmm, I don't think so. Non, you managed to cure your father's petrification, right? Even I am not confident of being able to cure that if it has progressed too much... You're a "worthy" disciple, after all.」

「!」Non-san's face turned pale.

「Well, but she doesn't want to tell me how she cured it... Do you know anything about it, "Hero"?」

...Ah, right. Non-san and the others were originally heading to the Saint Knight Kingdom to cure Dante-san's petrification poison...

「...Non-san is trying to protect me.」I said.

「Hou? What do you mean?」

「I cured the petrification poison by using a material that is generally not allowed to the general public. If this were to be revealed, I would be persecuted.」

「What did you use?」she asked.

I smiled and shook my head. Indicating that I had no intention to reveal it.

「...Ara? Do you think I would lodge a complaint just because I'm affiliated with the church? I won't say a word, promise. Just CU-RI-OUS.」

Riviera-san used a very seductive tone at the end. But I had no intention of yielding.

「...Hmm. There is no man who wasn't swayed by this. It can't be helped. Should I prove that I am not acting as an affiliate of the Church but just as a curious woman?」

As Riviera-san threw her hat away, and tried to take off her habit-

「Master!? Nononono!!!」

Non-san rushed to stop her.

「Don't look, Reiji-san!」

Asha covered my eyes with her hands. Riviera-san rolled up the hem of her dress so much that I accidentally caught a glimpse of her underwear on her plump thighs.

「Are you okay, Reiji-kun? My master showed you something unsightly!」Non-san said.

「What are you saying... there isn't a man who would not be happy to see this.」Riviera-san said.

「Are you an exhibitionist?」I asked.

「What a terrible thing to say!?」Riviera-san exclaimed.

...It was not that terrible. I would've been much more terrible if it wasn't for the fact that she healed Lark.
