Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 124 The Eight-Headed Serpent and Susanoo's Fate

Chapter 124 Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo

It took Charlotte a great deal of effort to explain herself. Fortunately, the head of the Dustini family was a reasonable man and knew his daughter's true nature; otherwise, he would have been completely unable to defend himself.

However, because of this, both Aqua and Kazuma Sato's true identities were revealed to Bart, who also learned that the team members were polarized about blind dates.

Unfortunately, no one appreciated this favor.

Aqua and Sato Kazuma were changing clothes, while Barth was led to the reception room on the other side. Charlotte, meanwhile, was admiring a painting in the mansion's corridor—a doodle that Darkness had drawn when he was a child, which the head of the Darkness family had framed and hung on the wall.

At that moment, the head of the Dustinis family arrived.

Charlotte's body stiffened instantly. After all, she had just been forcefully beating the other party's daughter, so it was understandable that she would complain to herself.

The head of the Dustinis family was quite shocked by his cautiousness, to the point that he could barely sense his breathing and kept his aura to a minimum.

"Hehehe, no need to be so nervous," the head of the Dustinis family said with a smile. "I'm not Eldap; I won't sentence you just because you stepped on your left foot first."

Charlotte looked down and switched her right foot from her left.

Just as the head of the Dustinis family was wondering if he was being provoked, he noticed that Charlotte had pulled back his right foot as if he had been burned, and asked with an embarrassed smile.

"—Which foot is the left foot?" Charlotte carefully observed the other person's expression and added, "Master."

"Hehehe."

The head of the Dustinis family was amused. He knew that Charlotte was nervous seeing him, so he didn't tease her on purpose. He simply said, "By the way, could you please get some water? My daughter just fainted, and she will definitely need water when she wakes up."

"I'll go right now!"

Charlotte promptly fled.

As expected, the pressure was too great. Being stared at like that by the head of the Dustinis family made him very uncomfortable, because he didn't know if he would be punished in some other way—although he knew that such a thing was unlikely to happen.

We arrived at the kitchen.

The servants of the Dustinis family were somewhat surprised to see him, thinking they had done something to neglect him. However, when they heard that water was to be prepared, they said they would personally deliver it later. But Charlotte refused, insisting on delivering it himself—actually, it was to avoid being in the same room as the head of the Dustinis family as much as possible.

the other side.

Darkness, who caused Charlotte's crisis, is still asleep because of the beating he received.

Kazuma Sato and Aqua had also changed their clothes.

The group of people who were brought to the reception room stayed by Darkness's side as she slept. The servants had already helped her change into her usual casual clothes for working as an adventurer, namely a black pencil skirt and shirt.

Barth sat on the other side.

The head of the Dustinis family looked at her and spoke up: "My daughter has never been very good at interpersonal relationships—even with those close to her. Kazuma, you usually team up with my daughter, right?"

Does my daughter rarely talk about herself?

Kazuma Sato remained noncommittal.

He had limited impressions of Darkness, rarely hearing the guy speak; rather, every time he did speak, it was astonishing, to the point that he had subconsciously filtered him out.

Then the head of the Dustinis family spoke about Darkness.

For example, he had no friends when he was a child, and he would go to the Church of Eris every day to pray for friends. One day, he actually made his first friend, a thief (Chris). Also, because his wife died too early and he did not remarry, Darkness had that kind of personality. This probably refers to Darkness's sexual fetish.

After all that has been said, everyone thinks that this is Darkness's nature and has nothing to do with his upbringing.

Next, the head of the Dustinis family expressed his hope that his fellow adventurers, such as Kazuma Sato and Aqua, would take good care of her and prevent her from doing anything foolish.

Kazuma Sato looked conflicted.

To be honest, if it weren't for Darkness's father's presence, he would have refused outright.

At this moment, Darkness slowly woke up.

"Hmm? The reception room? Ah, right—" She pressed her forehead as if recalling what happened before she was beaten unconscious, then quickly touched her body and said, "This state couldn't be after the fact, could it? What kind of filthy and disgusting treatment did I suffer while I was unconscious from the beating? Could it be that I was sleeping with a..."

'

"No! Please don't say things that are easy to misunderstand! The atmosphere was already awkward enough while you were sleeping!" Kazuma Sato quickly stopped her from saying anything more.

Seriously, this guy has absolutely no shame! How dare he say such shocking things in front of his own father. Looking at Bart, I noticed his smile had become forced, while the head of the Dustinis family remained calm and composed, seemingly used to it.

Upon hearing what Kazuma Sato said, Darkness first looked around, and after not finding the person in sight, she gave him a sly smile.

----Um?

Kazuma Sato had a bad feeling. He suddenly remembered what Darkness had threatened him during the blind date, saying that he would make him regret it so much that he would rather die.

Then I heard—

"Father, Young Master Barth. Please pretend this arranged meeting never happened. I've been keeping it a secret from you both, afraid to say it out loud, but actually—I'm already carrying Kazuma's child—!"

Darkness said this with a look of embarrassment.

She probably thought this was a good idea, using this excuse to refuse blind dates while also stopping her father from pressuring her to go on them.

However, the timing was terrible.

"Guest, your tea is here—what?"

Just as Darkness uttered those words, Charlotte pushed open the door and walked in. He stared blankly at Darkness, then the tea set in his hand spilled onto the floor, shattering with a crackling sound.

"Wait a minute! What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you insult me ​​like that? Watch out, or I'll punch you in the stomach!"

Kazuma Sato couldn't hold back any longer and burst into a tirade of curses.

He seemed to be trying to prove that he had no connection with Darkness, while constantly signaling to Charlotte with his eyes that the whole thing was fake and she shouldn't believe it.

But Charlotte looked grief-stricken and said sadly, "I didn't ask you to remain a virgin forever. I'm not a devil. But what does cheating mean? What's wrong with your concept of chastity? You're only 18, aren't you?"

"If you keep going like this, you'll cheat four times by age 36, eight times by age 72, and eventually you'll become Yamata no Orochi. As Susanoo, I might have to defeat you, really."
