Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 417 - 9 - Sweet Cozy Home

"I didn’t know if the entire faction in the Aurora Kingdom was involved in this kind of business," I muttered after hearing the list of names of the noble families who became a clients of the business run by the heretical sect.

By mentioning it, I’m speechless, knowing the business involves newborn monsters as a currency.

Just one newborn monster is already dangerous, and they’re using those newborn monsters as a currency?

Are they stupid?

"Can you explain this currency system to me, Furina?"

"Why are they using newborn monsters as the main currency?"

"What benefit can a heretical sect gain from that currency?"

The various questions that were in my mind were immediately conveyed to Furina and Jeanne. They looked at each other and directed me to a more private place, to talk about this.

"To explain this in more detail, we need to move to another location first," Furina replied, and looking at one of the former members of the heretical sect who had repented.

Nod...

With a slight nod of her head, Furina seemed to hand over her task to taking care of the followers of the Goddess of Destruction who were praying at the holy Altar to her.

Nod...

The answer from one of the former members of the heretical sect was seen. It gave me a sense of relief to be able to get such important information directly from Jeanne and Furina.

Their experiences as a former members of heretical sect and an actors who running their business behind the scenes will soon be revealed.

I followed Jeanne and Furina’s footsteps as they headed somewhere, along the city streets inside the castle that were wide enough for horse-drawn carriage traffic. I didn’t know where this walk was leading, so I continued to follow Furina until I saw a place that looked like a simple wooden house, hidden in the corner of the castle area.

The distance between the simple Altar of the Goddess of Destruction and the Shrine being built for the Goddess of Destruction is not too far from this wooden house. However, its location in the corner of the castle makes it appear like a secret house.

Jeanne and Furina entered the door wooden house without further ado, as if they were the ones living in the wooden house.

Kraaakkk...

"Welcome to our humble home, my Monarch," Jeanne greeted with a sigh and opened the door to her home.

"It may seem small for two people to live in, but it’s more than enough... because most of our activities take place inside the Shrine or Altar of the Goddess of Destruction rather than inside the house. I hope this small house can make my Monarch feel comfortable to visiting at any time," said Furina, who welcomed me like a guest visiting her home.

I look around the small house where Jeanne and Furina lived. It wasn’t particularly large for a building size, but it had a large, underutilized plot of land.

There is a plot of land that looks like a vegetable garden is being built, and several tree seedlings are planted in the front area of their house.

I wanted to give a blessing from the Goddess of Nature, but they are believers who worship the Goddess of Nature.

Who knows what kind of trouble will happen if I give the blessing of the Goddess of Nature in the territory that is the sacred place of the Goddess of Destruction?

That would definitely cause big problems, right?

Just to be safe, I won’t do anything related to the other Goddess’s blessings in front of them.

"This house isn’t too bad, it’s much more spacious than the ones in the Aurora Kingdom’s capital, and it looks like it’ll be cooler after planting some trees," I said to comment on Jeanne and Furina’s residence.

"Hehe~ We were very happy after hearing that praise..." said Furina while pulling my arm to enter her house.

My arm, which was pulled by Furina, made me enter her house, which felt cool and comfortable. The heat that I felt in the afternoon slowly disappeared after coming inside the house.

"Phew~ Coming home after working so hard to build the Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction... really feels good!!" Jeanne muttered as she loosened the collar of her shirt to reveal her white underwear.

"Please behave yourself in front of the Monarch of Holy Destruction, Jeanne."

"Hey, it’s okay to relax inside the house, right?"

"It wouldn’t be a big problem if it were just the two of us, but it would be a big problem if the Monarch of Holy Destruction found out about our habit of lazing around at home," Furina replied with a panicked expression on her face after seeing Jeanne’s overly relaxed attitude.

I just smiled at them and understood that the two of them had known each other to be this close.

My decision to hand over the responsibility of managing the followers of the Goddess of Destruction to them was indeed the right one.

"I don’t mind that... because home is a great place to relax after work. U-Uhm, you know... I often laze around after coming home too, hehe~" I said to make the atmosphere comfortable.

"There’s no need to feel awkward with my presence in this house and just relax as usual..." I continued as I entered Jeanne and Furina’s house.

Tap...

Tap...

I walked into the innermost part of their house and saw a variety of rooms, far more luxurious than any civilian home I’d ever been in in a remote village. Judging by the number of rooms inside, this house was far more luxurious than the small houses used by villagers.

There is a dining room with complete furniture, and it is closer to the kitchen.

There are three bedrooms with bed that look soft and fluffy.

There is also a living room filled with furniture suitable for relaxing after a long day’s work, and have a large window that can look outside, which already looks luxurious as a small house belonging to a wealthy merchant.

Compared to a small house, this is more suitable to be called a comfortable stopover house to relax in after work.

I went into the living room and lay down on the sofa to relax...

Buuugghh...

Ceeesshhh...

Ceeessshhh...

As I lay down on the sofa, I could feel the cool air clinging to me. A cool breeze that seemed to melt the heat from my sweaty body.

"Aaaahhh... a cold sofa is indeed comfortable to use after being hot outside," I muttered after lying down on the cold sofa.

I realized that I was being impolite as a guest and showing my attitude of always being lazy when I was in my bedroom.

I mean... a Monarch like me would be dignified every time, not to be looks relaxed once I’m inside the house.

I just showed this other side of myself, so that Jeanne and Furina could relax around me.

"I-I didn’t know my Monarch would act like this when she was inside the house," said Furina, who smiled happily after seeing this other side of me.

"This is a normal thing people do after being out in the hot days, right?" I replied, turning my body to lie on my side and unbuttoning my military uniform, which was strangling my neck while lying like this.

Slush...

Sluuuusshh...

By unbuttoning the military uniform that was tightly suffocating my neck, I could breathe a sigh of relief and glance at them with a gentle look in my eyes.

"Let’s continue our previous discussion while we relax," I said while snapping my fingers and taking out the items from the Yurification Shop.

Snap!!

A cold tea drink bottles, fresh fruit chops, and some pastries that look sweet in the mouth are arranged on the table in front of the sofa.

I, who was wearing a lazy facial expression, sat down gracefully, getting ready to hear Furina’s explanation regarding the currency system used by the heretical sect.

"Seeing all the pastries on the table like this will surely make you two feel relaxed and at ease, right?" I continued, teasing Jeanne and Furina to sit beside me.

Jeanne and Furina responded quickly to my words. They sat on either side of me and took some pastries to enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere like this.

Choommmp...

Choommmp...

I waited for Jeanne and Furina to reveal more of what they knew, which means... the deepest information that the stealth slime herd and the Black Maid unit couldn’t get.

I waited quietly while enjoying the cold tea that was in bottle.

Ctaaakk...

By opening the seal of the bottle, I drank the cold tea, which wiped away the thirst in my mouth.

Gluuuppp...

Drinking cold tea after being in the heat outside feels delicious, too.

While waiting for Jeanne and Furina to open their mouths regarding the information I wanted, the corner of my eye suddenly saw a luxurious horse-drawn carriage approaching this small house from the window that overlooked the streets.

The fine hairs on the nape of my neck suddenly stood up, and I felt an uncomfortable chill to meet the arrival of someone, who will make a troublesome problem for me.

Ignoring the sound of the approaching luxury horse carriage, I turned my gaze towards Jeanne.

"Is that a common guest, Jeanne?" I asked Jeanne as I continued to watch the approaching horse-drawn carriage.

Instead of getting an answer from Jeanne, I just got a cold stare from Jeanne and Furina, who seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Haaahhh... that annoying man again," Jeanne grumbled as she let out a heavy breath.

"Ugh, what a disgusting man," Furina grumbled after looking out the window, and her face twisted in discomfort.

I didn’t know what was happening, and my gaze returned to the luxurious horse-drawn carriage that was entering the courtyard of this small house. Judging by the noble family crest and the flag flying in front of it, it was indeed the crest of Duchess Kaori’s family.

However, such an unpleasant reaction from Jeanne and Furina...

Somehow, I could feel that something uncomfortable had happened to Jeanne and Furina, before...

Swiirrll...

Suddenly, my eyes saw the slow movement of a holy magic that came from the Goddess of Destruction, forming a lightning bolt that struck the luxurious horse carriage.

"Hmm?" because I didn’t understand what was happening, I just saw the lightning bolt that formed quickly, struck the luxurious horse carriage with loud sounds.

Bzzzttt...

Bzzzttt...

JDDDAAARR!!

The sound of the lightning bolt striking the luxurious horse carriage happened so quickly that it left me confused by the strange event that had just occurred.

"W-What just happened?" I asked in a stunned mumble until I saw a fat man crawling out of the wreckage of the destroyed horse-drawn carriage.

[ The Goddess of Destruction: Oh, the system of preventing people from committing crimes seems to be working... ]

With explanation from the Goddess of Destruction...

I realized what just happened in front of me...
