Chapter 852: Hiandoca's Temple
Chapter 852: Hiandoca's Temple
I let Katsuki tell the other girls about my plan while Lisa and I got ready to head out to the temple that worshipped Hiandoca.
I thought about waiting for the others as well to leave for the temple together but Lisa disagreed and said it was better for us to go by ourselves.
Her reason was that not everyone saw the goddess in a good light due to her connection with monsters which in turn made her worshippers wary of outsiders.
Thus, if the temple's clergy saw an Infrid bringing along a partner, it would look less suspicious than several different people surrounding one Infrid.
I was pretty sure that what she said was only part of the reason and the other reason was that she wanted to be alone with me, but I chose not to say anything about that.
The temple seemed to have been built outside the city as well but it would only take at most ten minutes if I were to fly the both of us there.
She was even trying to rush me out of the mansion, presumably to get the both of us out before Katsuki could catch us but she was waiting at the door when we reached there.
My Inugami maid didn't even try to stop us and merely bowed to me when she saw us, "Please take care, Mistress."
Lisa pouted at her, "How did you even know?"
"It is natural for a maid to pay attention to her Mistress at all times."
Lisa pouted even harder at my maid so I took her by the arm and pulled my Infrid away to leave through the door.
When we got a few steps away from the main entrance, Lisa turned to me with her arms stretched out.
I wordlessly picked her up in a princess carry which she took the opportunity to lean forward to give me a kiss on the lips.
"Mmm~ I know about one thing for sure though~ I'll never get tired of kissing you no matter what~ I even checked it myself with my Clairvoyance~"
I actually believe her.
I kissed her back as well before letting my wings sprout from my back, stretching them to their full length behind me.
I let out a small groan as I stretched the muscles in my wings for a bit in preparation to fly.
"You're so beautiful, Aster..." Lisa whispered.
Looking down, I realised she was marvelling at my wings.
I giggled, "Well, Mother does say that I have her wings after all... And her wings are indeed beautiful."
"Mmm... This is exactly why I love you so much, Aster~ Ehehehe~"
Not sure what she meant by that but ok?
I flexed my back muscles before letting my wings flap downwards while I leapt into the air, shooting myself up into the sky.
Lisa hugged me tightly, letting out a squeal as the air rushed past us, my wings flapping powerfully as I increased our altitude.
Using [Breeze], I manipulated the winds to create an updraft to aid in our ascent.
In a few short seconds, the mansion was already far below us and we could see the entirety of the capital city from where we hung in the sky.
I stepped past the doors and she closed it behind me, making me wonder why she was there in the first place.
Lisa released her grip on me and I understood that she wanted me to release her.
I let her down from my arms and she took a moment to smoothen her clothes before she wrapped her arm around mine, an action that the other Infrid did not miss.
"Oh my~ What a lovely couple the both of you are~ Fufufu~"
Really? I mean I literally carried her in my arms here and the linking of arms was what got you to realise we're a couple?
The Infrid bowed her head slightly, "Ah where are my manners? I am Jeanue, a priestess serving the Goddess Hiandoca."
I nodded, "Nice to meet you. I am Aster and this is my soulmate, Lisa."
"Ehehehe~ Soulmate~" Lisa giggled, rubbing her face on my arm while she blushed cutely.
The priestess giggled before gesturing towards the inside of the church, "Shall we start with your prayer?"
She started walking ahead of us to guide us towards the altar, walking past the rows of pews that were currently empty at the moment.
"Are you the only priestess here?" I asked.
"Oh, not at all. My sisters are currently in the city at the moment. They will return by nightfall," Jeanue explained without turning back.
As we got closer to the altar, I realised that instead of a traditional altar, there was a literal bed there.
She turned back to me, "Now please go ahead~ Do you need any assistance from me? I don't mind joining such attractive worshippers like yourselves~ Feel free to make your offerings to our Goddess Hiandoca~"
I finally remembered that the goddess actually takes sexual fluids as offerings... Which is what our penis sheaths were enchanted to do...
Before I could explain to her that this wasn't what we came for, Lisa tugged on my arm.
"Aster~ Show her the coin."
Oh right.
I pulled out the gold coin from between my boobs to show to the priestess.
Jeanue narrowed her eyes to get a closer look at the coin before suddenly widening her eyes.
Her demeanour immediately changed and she fell to her knees in front of me, "Oh my Goddess!! Your Eminence! Please forgive my rudeness from earlier! How can I dare to raise my head in your presence?!"
I blinked at her, "Err... I... Sorry but... I don't really need you to act like that... This only signifies me as her champion, right?"
The priestess gasped, "No! No, no! You are not just Goddess Hiandoca's champion Your Eminence! There are different colours for the coin! A champion that is only bearing her name would get a bronze coin! Someone she has taken a personal interest in would get a silver coin! A gold coin... A gold coin is something that has never been given before in the history of our church!!"
"Err... Ok? What does it mean then?"
She gulped, "It means... It means you were able to sexually satisfy our Goddess!!"
Ah...
