I was watching Sakura follow the pregnant woman inside, the inside of the Fertility Church had a little more provocative carvings of sexual relations, they weren't very perverted things, they were very conservative and I think it was more for the meaning of getting pregnant than the act sex itself.
"Sorry for the delay in introducing myself, I'm the High Priestess of Fertility in charge of this branch of the Church, my name is Korinne." (Korine)
"My name is Sakura, I am an Incarnation Queen of the Black Forest, I am a Holy Beast." (Sakura)
"I know about the Incarnations of the Forest, as Queen, you possess the sacred power to propagate life, just like our church." (Korine)
"Our paths may be different, but the purpose is always the same, to propagate life." (Korine)
"I agree with your point of view." (Sakura)
I continue to observe the entire situation through Sakura's eyes as she escorts this High Priestess into a room with two sofas facing each other, each taking a seat on a sofa.
"I assume your master is watching and listening, right?" (Korine)
"Yes, if necessary he will answer through me too." (Sakura)
"I assume you know about the agreement between our Gods, right?" (Korine)
"I don't know anything, my master doesn't seem to know either." (Sakura)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven without me directly conveying what I think or my will to Sakura, the connection between us is open, because of this she can perceive my emotions and I weakly perceive hers.
"All the High Priests had a dream about the Goddess Asya last night, including me." (Korine)
"We all received the same information, but as you might expect, our minds strangely understand what we received directly from the Gods, but thanks to compiling everything everyone dreamed of, we were able to come to what I believe to be an agreement." (Korine)
"But before I talk about the deal, I'd like to give you some context, I imagine you know why the Priests of my Church persecute you." (Korine)
I'm listening to the High Priestess, so to answer her, I extend my will to Sakura's body as I lose track of my own body, I do it to talk to the High Priestess.
"I know." (I)
"My Church has the desire to propagate life and all kinds of races, this is an inherent desire for us Priests." (Korine)
"The biggest problem is that you have many of the traits that we want to propagate, besides the desire to make a child with Divine lineage be born is difficult to resist, I myself ran after one of your sisters a long time ago, but I failed just like these Priests now spoke to you." (Korine)
"I don't want new children, I'm too young to be a father of young children, and I think the thought of having children just for the sake of having them is wrong." (I)
"But we could always..." (Korinne)
"No, I already have enough commitments and I won't have a child with someone I don't feel anything about." (I)
"I personally understand and respect your decision, but I am just another member of my Church." (Korine)
"People from my church and two others will keep coming after you." (Korine)
"Wait! Two more!?" (I)
"The Demon Church of Pleasure and the Temple of Love." (Korine)
"The Pleasure Priests will come after you for your looks, strength, and libido." (Korine)
"What do any of these things have to do with me?" (I)
"You may not realize it, but it is very common for people to become more beautiful as they evolve, you yourself are very beautiful, the kind of beauty that makes it difficult to identify your gender at first glance." (Korine)
Saying that the High Priestess averts her eyes from Sakura and looks at the wall, it took me a few seconds to understand why she was looking at the wall, she was looking at my body out of that place.
"I see that it is already ready to evolve again, that means it will look even more beautiful, in addition, it means an increase in its strength." (Korine)
"Anyone can realize that stronger people could last longer in bed, plus there's always a problem with holding back if you're with someone weaker, which is why people often look for partners of equal strength." (Korine)
"Just these two factors will make you and the various people around you targets of seduction." (Korine)
I didn't like hearing this, I guess I'll have to go back to the old mask-wearing plan, I don't want perverts after me.
"Unfortunately I can understand these two religions going after me, I don't like the explanation, but I understand." (I)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But I suppose none of this has anything to do with the Temple of Love, I find it difficult for their religion to judge by strength, appearance or lineage." (I)
"Correct, the Demon Goddess of Pleasure Ariel and the Goddess of Fertility Asya are sisters, the two are daughters and subordinate Goddesses of the Goddess of Love Ayrin." (Korine)
"Our 3 religions may be different, but they are very united, so I know just by looking at you the love that surrounds you, the world itself loves you and is in harmony with you." (Korine)
"(Master, I think she's talking about the Trinity of Nature.)" (Sakura)
"(I thought the same thing.)" (I)
Can the Trinity of Nature be interpreted as being loved by Nature?
"But you don't have to worry about your chastity with the Priests of Love, but I imagine they would still be a nuisance." (Korine)
"I assume this agreement is to resolve this." (I)
"As I said before, this agreement has been accepted by the three Goddesses and the Blood Goddess, but the agreement must be accepted by you, that is one of the conditions." (Korine)
"..." (I)
"What are the terms of this agreement?" (I)
-----------
High Priestess Korinne started to tell me the terms of the agreement which in the end boils down to a promise of restriction for the interaction of these 3 religions with me, but this with the promise that the Saints and Champions of these 3 Religions are allowed to live in my Dungeon.
When I asked why, High Priestess Korinne said she wasn't sure, she said she assumed it was for safety, these 3 Religions are not combat focused, they have powerful people, but their numbers are not the same as other religions, and besides have many enemies.
I told her I would think about it and come back tomorrow morning to give my answer.
