Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 66

Nightmare Shop is sure to have no shortage of customers.

You know, that shop is packed every day, and with the rock-bottom price of 5000 for three hours, if it ever closes down, the male adventurers of Axel will find a way to reopen it.

The reason why the little nightmare came to find me is quite intriguing. Could it be that I did something bad in my sleep at the hotel that day?

Charlotte's expression changed.

"I'm sorry, I'll take responsibility."

"...What?"

"Something must have happened at the hotel. I'm sorry if I left you with a bad impression. Of course, I'll take responsibility."

"Really!?...No, no, no, that's not it, nothing happened between us!"

"real?"

"real!"

Nightmare crossed her arms in front of her chest in a defensive gesture, as if to say that she was protecting herself well.

Speaking of which...

That morning, after I woke up, even though Little Nightmare was lying in my arms, their clothes were still on, so they probably hadn't done anything wrong.

Phew, I can rest easy now.

Charlotte felt at ease not because Nightmare was a demon, but because the other girl looked to be about the same age as Megumin. Even though she was an adult according to the kingdom's laws, Charlotte still felt a certain psychological burden.

"Actually, there's something else I wanted to confirm. Could you please come to the store? ...Please, it's really important!"

Little Nightmare bowed deeply.

It's strange that a demon would be begging a priest. If it were some foolish goddess begging the lich Charlotte, it would be understandable, but the fact that the roles are reversed makes him feel a bit odd.

"Okay, I'll go there tonight."

"You said yes? That's great!"

Little Nightmare revealed a bright smile, and a hint of amazement flashed in Charlotte's eyes. Although she hadn't fully grown up yet, she was indeed very beautiful, with a pretty face that was somewhere between a loli and a young girl, yet also mixed with a strangely mature and alluring aura.

Charlotte then returned to the church.

He also has the work of confessional services.

He didn't rush to leave in the evening, but instead distributed relief meals to the residents. After everything was over, Charlotte took off his priest's robes and left the church, intending to go to the Nightmare Shop.

And he had just left the church—

"You're finally out, Mr. Charlotte."

"...You're not going to wait here forever, are you?"

"yes!"

"Really?"

Charlotte looked at the little nightmare smiling at her. Could it be that she was worried that she would run away and not go, so she had been waiting here all this time? Just how persistent was she?

Glug glug————

The sound of her stomach growling reached her ears, and Little Nightmare lowered her head in embarrassment. She had been waiting here all day, and hadn't eaten anything, let alone had a sip of water.

Charlotte took out a steamed bun from her pocket.

"Do you want to eat? Or do you want to absorb its essence? You're a nightmare, so you're more inclined towards that, aren't you?"

"No, no need... steamed buns will do."

Taking the steamed bun, Little Nightmare turned her head away, seemingly not wanting anyone to see her expression.

Are you shy?

Charlotte knew that some people didn't like others watching them eat, and the idea of ​​a nightmare absorbing essence sounded rather obscene, so she guessed that the little nightmare probably wasn't very good at doing such things in public.

She is still too young.

The two arrived at the store.

Although this was Charlotte's second time here, she still felt a restless excitement, especially when she saw the scantily clad Nightmare older women walking around the store.

Little Nightmare told him to sit down first, then hurriedly ran to the back of the shop.

It was as if he was going to report to someone.

There were no customers in the Nightmare Shop at the moment. Charlotte sat there calmly, probably because he had returned to the shop with Little Nightmare, so there was no Nightmare Sister to serve him. However, it was still quite nice to be able to feast his eyes on him.

But gradually he realized something was wrong. They seemed to know who Charlotte was, and they gathered in twos and threes, pointing and whispering about him.

Hey Hey hey!

What's going on?

Why did it inexplicably become the center of attention?

Could it be that he knows he's a priest and is forbidding him from entering this shop again? If that's the case, he'll cry... he really will cry!

Just as Charlotte was filled with suspicion, Little Nightmare and another Nightmare older sister with a hot figure came to him.

It's likely the person managing the store.

as predicted.

"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Nightmare Sister smiled sweetly and bent down, saying, "I'm Nightmare Amy, who manages this shop. You must be Mr. Charlotte that Lolisa mentioned, right?"

Charlotte didn't quite hear.

His attention was completely drawn to the Nightmare Big Sister's constantly bouncing, milky-white breasts, which were very eye-catching.

……and many more.

"Lolisa?"

"It's me. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

Under Charlotte's questioning gaze, Little Nightmare... no, Lolisa raised her little hand somewhat awkwardly and shyly. At this moment, she had changed into a very revealing outfit from the store, horns had grown on her head, and wings and a tail had appeared on her back.

In addition, the older sister in front of him was named Amy, and Charlotte memorized her name.

"Would you mind if I sat down?"

"Please sit down."

"Thanks."

Amy thanked him and then sat down gracefully. As expected of the leader of Nightmare, every move she made was full of allure, and Charlotte's heart continued to beat faster.

"I don't know if Lolisa has been rude in any way. If she has, I apologize on her behalf."

"No, I get along very well with Lolisa."

That's true.

Although Lolisa had been following him, she didn't bother him. However, her act of barging into the church was a bit excessive. If the other priests had discovered it, they might have considered it a provocation and driven her away completely.

"I'm sorry, I'll keep a closer eye on them from now on."

Amy lowered her head, revealing a deep sense of apology.

Lolisa also lowered her head.

"You guys do know my name, huh?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "I remember the shop only needs customers' addresses; they don't keep any personal information."

After all, Nightmare Shop is quite special. Leaving your name there and accidentally exposing it would definitely cause other unnecessary trouble.

All I can say is that those who know, know.

"Hehe, we don't know about the other guests, but we do know about Mr. Charlotte, who is currently making waves by distributing relief meals to residents in need at the church and defeating the Headless Horseman, a high-ranking member of the Demon King's army."

"……oh?"

"Please, please don't misunderstand, we have no intention of seeking revenge! Furthermore, we Nightmare worship Lord Barnier of Hell, and have no grudge against Mr. Charlotte!"

Charlotte's tone seemed very intimidating, which frightened Amy into apologizing repeatedly.

It's no secret that the Nightmares idolize Banir, and they've even spent a lot of money to help Banir realize his dream of building an underground city.

But that happened later.

"This is getting a bit annoying. Can we get to the point?" Charlotte looked at her and said, "May I ask what you wanted to see me about?"

"Yes, there is something I'd like to confirm. But before that, could you please allow us to draw some of your energy?" Amy said.

"...What?"

"Please, this is really important!"

"That's possible..."

Charlotte was puzzled, but seeing Amy's earnest and somewhat humble plea, he softened and agreed.

"Well then, excuse me..."

Amy was very serious. After exchanging a glance with Lolisa and nodding, she placed her hand on Charlotte's. Then, a small amount of magic could be clearly felt disappearing.

At this very moment.

"snore------------"

She suddenly screamed and collapsed onto the table, leaving Charlotte dumbfounded.

"……snore?"
