“We have arrived.”

Along with Selene’s mechanical and emotionless voice, I once again set foot on the ground.

The dizziness subsided quickly.

My head only felt slightly dizzy, with no other symptoms.

“…”

However, the knight commanders were different.

Iris, Claudia, Lizé, Erica.

Without exception, they were all sprawled on the ground, desperately trying not to vomit the contents of their stomachs.

During the first instant movement, they had at least been able to speak, albeit staggering dizzily, but from the second time onwards, even standing up seemed overwhelming, and from the third time, they completely shut their mouths.

They had taken off their armor long ago.

Wearing it would make their heads throb and the dizziness last several times longer.

The discarded armor was neatly placed to the side.

With the knight commanders in such a state, the rest time between instant movements inevitably became longer.

Now I understood why Selene had come to escort us under the pretext of protection.

How could they possibly fight enemies in that condition?

They couldn’t even stand up and were using all their strength to avoid vomiting the contents of their stomachs.

If we had simply ridden a carriage to the Holy Kingdom as originally planned, an escort wouldn’t have been necessary, but it probably would have taken months to reach the Holy Kingdom’s cathedral.

Thanks to Selene moving us with instant movement, we had arrived in a day even considering the rest time in between.

“Are you okay, Lizé?”

“…”

Lizé raised her head with her trembling body and looked at me.

Her blue eyes seemed to be asking if this looked okay to me.

Well, it didn’t look okay at all, so it was a pointless question.

Due to her posture, her breasts were squeezed between her upper body and the ground, softly spreading to the sides.

Her splayed sideboob protruded considerably beneath her armpits.

Even in that state, they maintained their elasticity perfectly.

She herself didn’t seem to realize she was in such a state due to her dizziness.

If she had known, she would have definitely teased and tempted me.

“My task is done.”

Selene neatly ignored the knight commanders who were suffering with their heads in their hands and infused power into the sacred catalyst in her hand.

The gray and silver aura surrounding us gradually faded.

“I look forward to the day we can meet again.”

The sacred catalyst in her hand glowed.

Selene’s figure disappeared, and the traces of the moon vanished.

Warm sunlight filled the empty space.

A white light mixed with yellow blanketed the area.

The knight commanders still hadn’t regained their senses.

It seemed like it would take quite some time for them to recover, so I decided to wait patiently beside them and looked around.

‘It’s amazing.’

Everything was white.

All the buildings along the street and their roofs, everywhere the eye could see, even the tiles on the main road were all shining white.

The tiles on the main road, despite being white, were pure without a single speck of dust.

Countless people were walking with a devout demeanor, yet not a single footprint or even dirt was left behind.

According to the NPC’s explanation, the entire papal palace was protected by sacred power, which was why it was like that.

I had glossed over it in the game, but seeing it in person, it was no different from a miracle.

In a world view that directly showed the existence of a god like this, it was only natural for people to be immersed in religion, I thought to myself for a moment.

However, there was something else that truly caught my eye.

‘…Why are the women’s clothes so modest? Did the mod creator skip it out of laziness?’

It was the attire of the Holy Kingdom’s women, which was completely different from the Empire’s.

Unlike the Empire’s women’s clothes, where crop tops and miniskirts couldn’t even be considered exposure, most of the Holy Kingdom’s women wore clothes that were modern but wrapped their bodies tightly.

There were quite a few fashion styles where the only exposed skin was the face above the neck, and even if there was exposure, it was limited to slightly revealing one thigh or wearing a black sleeveless top.

No matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find a single woman wearing something like a string covering her breasts or hot pants that were no different from underwear, like in the Empire.

The modest scenery, which I hadn’t seen in a long time, put me at ease.

‘Perhaps the Inquisitor was an unusual case.’

Stella wore a nun’s robe that was objectively and subjectively lewd, and the battle nuns under her command had so much exposure that their insides would be fully visible if the wind blew.

However, the women on the streets of the Holy Kingdom were tightly covered, so I naturally thought that they were the odd ones.

“Ugh…”

While I was calmly looking at the neat and modest appearance of the Holy Kingdom’s women and settling my mind and body, the knight commanders seemed to have regained their senses and started to get up, staggering.

“How are your heads? Are you feeling better?”

“…We can stand up now. But we still can’t walk properly.”

I supported Iris, who had gotten up first, and let her lean against a nearby tree.

Iris leaned her back against the tree, clutching her forehead and exhaling roughly.

I supported Erica and Claudia one by one, and finally reached out my hand to Lizé.

Lizé meekly entrusted her body to my hand.

I put her left arm over my shoulder and then slid my right hand under her right armpit to lift her up.

My hand awkwardly swayed in the air.

If I went any further, my hand would touch the underside of Lizé’s breasts due to the position.

No, even with just this, her sideboob was rubbing against my right forearm.

I kept repeating to myself that it was inevitable if I wanted to support her due to the structure of the human body, and took a step forward.

“…I don’t want to do this twice. Let’s take a carriage on the way back, even if it takes a long time.”

Lizé slightly twisted her body and buried her face in my chest, muttering those words.

The other knight commanders nodded their heads in agreement.

They must have had a really hard time.

“Are you feeling a bit better?”

A cheerful voice was heard behind us.

It was a voice I had heard before.

As I turned my head, I saw Stella and her subordinate battle nuns approaching us.

I tensed up for a moment, wondering if they were going to say something about us being heretics again, but I relaxed upon seeing that no one was holding a weapon.

“Now that you seem to have enough sense to drink something, have this first.”

At Stella’s gesture, the battle nuns approached and opened the bottles resembling potions they were holding.

Then they approached each knight commander one by one and pushed the mouth of the bottle into their lips.

The knight commanders meekly drank the potions fed to them by the battle nuns.

They seemed to lack the strength to resist such actions one by one.

‘Those are quite expensive.’

There was a consumable item assigned to each status ailment that could dispel it, except for Purification.

Purification was an exception because the only way to break it was to greatly increase sacred power and faith.

Of course, there was also a way to dispel all status ailments, one through magic, one through sacred spells, and one through consumables.

Among these, the consumable was an item that could only be purchased at a reasonable price in the Holy Kingdom.

Although it wasn’t too expensive in the Empire, the merchants in between would rip people off, making it almost 10 times more expensive than in the Holy Kingdom.

The last battle nun approached.

The nun tried to feed the potion to Lizé, who was almost clinging to my chest, but upon seeing our posture, she hesitated for a moment and instead pushed it towards me.

“You want me to feed her?”

Nod.

The battle nun, who had forcibly handed me the potion bottle, returned to her original position.

I held the potion bottle in my left hand and poked Lizé.

Lizé, who had been burying her face in my chest and inhaling deeply, poked her head out a little.

“…What’s wrong?”

“She told me to feed this to you.”

I shook the potion bottle in my left hand.

Lizé glanced at it and changed her posture.

She released her arm that was around my shoulder and put it together in front of her lower abdomen, then leaned her back against my right arm, fully putting her weight on me.

Finally, she tilted her head back slightly to look at the sky and opened her mouth.

Between her parted lips, her pearly white teeth, her uvula that wriggled every time she swallowed saliva, her vermilion tongue, and the transparent saliva slightly pooled between them were fully visible.

Since it seemed like strange thoughts would keep popping up, I hurriedly pushed the mouth of the potion bottle into her mouth and tilted it.

Lizé swallowed the potion with gulping sounds.

I need to correct myself.

It wasn’t that strange thoughts would come to mind, but strange thoughts did come to mind.

Lizé’s expression made it even more so.

I poured the potion down to the last drop, tapping the bottle, and before those kinds of thoughts could take over my mind, I hastily removed the bottle.

Lizé exhaled and stuck out her tongue halfway, making eye contact with me.

A very thin silver thread stretched between the bottle’s mouth and the tip of her tongue, then snapped in midair.

“Delta, you just put a long rod in my mouth and made me drink the liquid inside, right?”

“…You’re talking nonsense, so you must be fine now. Stop saying useless things and get up.”

Lizé held my hand and obediently stood up, then clung to my side and slightly rubbed her breasts against me.

It seemed I didn’t need to worry.

The other knight commanders also stood up normally as if they hadn’t been trembling on the ground.

“It’s a quite expensive potion. I hope it’s worth the high price, right?”

“You’re right. We appreciate the courtesy.”

“You can stop with the gratitude. We misunderstood you first, didn’t we? We accused an innocent person of being a heretic, so this is far from enough to atone for that sin.”

Stella then glanced at the spot where Selene had last been.

“Arriving at the papal palace so quickly, and with the sacred power of the moon still lingering here. It seems the Inquisitor of the Moon was here. Am I right?”

“That’s right. The Inquisitor helped us arrive in a day. It was a bit… very tiring though.”

“She’s just too kind-hearted… Follow me. I’ll guide you to where Her Holiness the Pope is.”

‘What’s this?’

Just now, Stella’s complexion slightly darkened.

Some emotion closer to depression or sadness than irritation had risen.

I couldn’t be sure because it was too brief.

Maybe it was just my imagination.

“This is the cathedral. It’s where Her Holiness the Pope resides.”

The cathedral was of immense scale.

I had to tilt my head way back to barely see the top.

Even in the game, it was a huge structure, but in reality, it was much larger.

The entire building was lavishly decorated with yellow and white bricks and golden ornaments.

The spire that rose in the center was literally as high as if it would pierce the sky.

The exterior was also incredibly intricate.

It was difficult for my eyes to even grasp how the structure was designed.

Stella lightly bowed to the church building and then turned to the side.

There were even people kneeling on the ground and praying all around.

After walking around the cathedral for a while, Stella pointed to a door that was decorated lavishly in a different way from the main entrance at the back of the building.

A warm light like the sun leaked out from the half-open door.

“Beyond this door, directly leads to where Her Holiness the Pope is. Since the Pope personally granted an audience with you, all the minor procedures have been omitted.”

Swish, her slender finger pointed at me.

“Instead, you go first. The rest of you can enter when I tell you to.”

“I’m nominally a new knight? Shouldn’t the knight commanders enter first in order of rank?”

“Why do you think you came here?”

I immediately understood with that one sentence.

The very reason we came here in the first place was because of me.

Stella stepped aside next to the door, and the battle nuns surrounded us as if escorting us.

Although I had experienced a similar situation before, unlike then, the atmosphere wasn’t hostile, and they weren’t holding weapons in their hands.

I walked into the light, feeling the sharp gazes piercing my back.

I involuntarily closed my eyes due to the light poking my eyelids, and when the light seemed to subside a bit, I cautiously opened them.

“You have finally come to me.”

The first thing I encountered upon opening my eyes was the sun.

No, it was golden hair that was so splendid and abundant that it gave the illusion of being the sun, even more splendid than the stained glass with an elaborate pattern.

Behind the golden-haired woman, a halo was shining.

Upon seeing the woman’s appearance, I froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

My mind was completely bleached, and all the thoughts that had arisen melted away.

It wasn’t because I was overwhelmed by the warm and cozy atmosphere, captivated by the splendor of the stained glass and the woman’s beauty, or swayed by the merciful and benevolent voice of the woman.

“In the name of the sun, I welcome you. The one who was once called a heretic.”

‘What is that…?’

The woman’s attire.

‘Is that even clothes?’

It was because of the woman’s outrageously revealing outfit.
