Chapter 53
In the winters light, snow and ice are glittering .
It’s beautiful but soon becomes boring if stared at for too long .
Even if city people are pleased with the snow, rural people feel nothing . If a view lasts for more than 3 days it becomes the norm .
It’s so boring .
I’m tired of snow!
It’s a long journey to the capital and the scenery is just snow .
Due to the cold and boredom, me and Chaser have fallen into boys talk .
Two women come out of a side street, see me in my priest’s clothes, bow and leave .
As soon as they leave Chaser turns to me
“Right or left? Which is your preference priest-sama?”
We’ve been travelling together a while now and as a result, Chaser has become overly familiar .
I’m not bothered though .
“Hmmm… . ”
“Don’t think so hard . Which one would you do!”
This is all I’ve heard since a while back .
“A one-night stand or dating?” I reply seriously
“Nnn…… . one-night stand . ”
“Un… . . left one?”
“The right one was a beauty . She had ma.s.sive b.r.e.a.s.t.s . Well, saying that, the one on the left was prettier . ”
“Having s.e.x with a woman who’s got a lovely personality is the best . Those who think about each other’s feelings while having s.e.x are the best . ”
“What feels good then?” Chaser asks while grinning .
“Well, that’s my general theory anyway . ” I reply ignoring him
“I’ll take any beautiful women . It’s fun to make them fall in love with me . ”
It seems romance is a game to Chaser .
I’ll punish you with ED you d.a.m.n Ikemen!
The women who pa.s.sed us cannot possibly imagine that we are discussing such things .
I’m sorry .
In fact, I’m pretty sure they’d hate us if they knew .
“That guy on the right seemed a bit small didn’t he . ”
and
“He looks very incompetent . ”
I’m sure they’d say this and I’d accept it .
…… . Actually, no I wouldn’t!
It was dusk when we arrived at the dilapidated poor village .
After asking a villager it seems this town doesn’t have a priest in their temple .
That’s tonight sleeping spot sorted .
That priest’s clothes and ID have been really useful at times .
I cleaned up the temple with life magic and started a fire with wood I brought in from the nearby forest .
I went searching for Chaser and found him giving out some dried meat to the local children .
He looked like a middle-aged gang boss except his gang is kids .
Oi oi, what are you doing teaching kids how to seduce women?
Is that really a good way to kiss?
This guys an idiot .
… . . I see . I’ve learnt something .
Wait! I’m the idiot!
I stopped and listened to Chaser’s seduction explanation without realising it .
It’s unexpected but he seems to like kids .
It’s unexpected but he seems to like kids .
“Children seem to like you . ”
“Hehe, they’re adorable after all . Country kids are nice and simple . ”
He looked a bit shy while laughing and seemed years younger, almost boy like .
That evening I performed [evening prayer] due to the villagers begging me .
Last time I tried in Hofkins village I was interrupted, but here I just read from the scriptures and gave a small sermon like usual .
The literacy rate in this village is really low so they are pleased with only the readings from the scriptures .
I guess this area has very little in the way of entertainment .
Nearly 100 villagers gathered in the temple, eagerly listening to my story .
Looking around I can see Chaser talking to a woman who looked about 30 . He whispered something in her ear and she laughed while seeming interested .
I cant respect how he spends his time seducing women but in a way, I can admire it .
Just like I enjoy an RPG that fellow enjoys a real love game .
After evening prayer ends Chaser walks amongst the believers with a black charity bag which the villagers put copper coins into .
Some put barley or potatoes in instead of cash .
After counting we had gained 9230 rims .
If I’m honest I think its really cheeky but I am thankful for the cash .
“Right, let’s go have something to eat . ” Chaser says to me while I’m cleaning up .
“Where’d that come from?”
“I spoke about it a bit ago . Lets go . ”
The house Chaser led me to was the house of that women he was happily talking to earlier .
Her husband seems to have died a few years back . Apart from the wife, there were 2 children . An older brother and younger sister around 10 years of age .
“Hey, I bought dried meat and potatoes like promised!”
Laying the food out on the table the children cheered .
The kids were very thin .
The kids were very thin .
“Thank you . You’ve really helped us . ”
The wife’s eyes are wet as she looks at Chaser .
While the wife prepared a meal Chaser showed the kids some magic tricks with cards .
The children got very excited seeing a magic trick for the first time .
“Very skilful . ”
“I learnt it for cheating at gambling, however, it’s my policy to only use it once a night . That’s the trick to survival . ”
“Stop doing that if you really want to live a long life . ”
“I stopped a long time ago . I haven’t done it in a while . ”
For once, Chasers face was serious .
Though we’ve only been together a few days I can tell that this guy wants to redo his life .
Though he seems flippant he seems to be betting on a new life in the capital .
I have the feeling that him getting thrown out of the tobacco shop by the widow was on purpose .
If he had actually performed dogeza in front of the widow I’m sure she would have forgiven him .
For some reason, he dared to leave their relationship like that .
The wife’s cooking ability was not very good . My food is much better, but you can tell that she tried her best and that makes it delicious .
After having some of her treasured ale [hand made] I left the house in good spirits .
Chaser drank loads and was very drunk . He seems to be a champion drinker .
He told me he had an important story to share and sent me on ahead .
……An important story?
I’m not going to dig any deeper .
Chaser did not return at all that night .
I was a little worried due to that ghoul in Hofkins village but I’m sure that wife was not a ghoul .
As ghouls get older their s.e.xual charm spell gets stronger and harder to fight against .
I was a little worried due to that ghoul in Hofkins village but I’m sure that wife was not a ghoul .

Deciding to investigate a little I get George-kun out of my bag and send him off .
“Is Chaser safe George-kun?” I ask when George-kun returns .
“Uki!”
George-kun nods energetically .
It seems I don’t have to worry .
“What’s Chaser doing at the moment?” (1)
“Uki . ”
Geroge-kun starts moving his hips at high speed .
Quickly stopping George-kun I go to bed .
… . . I’m not envious .
The next day Chaser is travelling with me again .
“Hey, priest-sama . I want to drink ale again when we get to the next village . ”
“Aah, that’s fine . Now you’ve mentioned it I suddenly want a drink . ”
“I know right . Please treat me to one . ”
“Ehh? I gave you 4600 rims yesterday . ”
“Aah . That’s gone . ”
“Gone?”
“I gave it to that woman yesterday . ”
I sigh at Chaser who’s smiling .
This man is sloppy with money, women and alcohol, likes children and lives in poverty…… .
I don’t understand him or rather I don’t understand him well but I understand one thing .
I don’t hate him .
