Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 93 Claire, When Did She Arrive?

Amy is the head of the Nightmare Shop, and the appearance of such a person in the capital makes people wonder if the Demon King's army is planning something big.

"Miss Amy, what are you doing here?"

"Actually, I've been considering whether I should open a branch."

"Hmm... So, the truth is?"

"I miss Mr. Charlotte—"

Amy said this with a shy smile, and Lolisa next to her chimed in, "Me too, me too! I miss Mr. Charlotte so much—"

Two beautiful women, one tall and one short, were deeply in love with him. If any other man heard this, he would surely be smug and feel incredibly charming. But Xia Luo remained unmoved, even wanting to laugh a little, because—

"I really miss Mr. Charlotte's spirit!" x2

I knew it would turn out this way.

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to take so long to get here." Charlotte apologized to the two of them promptly and extended her hand, saying, "Please, if you don't mind, have some."

He had just signed a contract with the Nightmare Shop and then came to the capital and didn't return for a long time. It was understandable that he was sought out, and it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to complain a bit.

"But you guys are really audacious, daring to come to such a dangerous place. Aren't you afraid of being discovered and driven away?"

"Why? All the adventurers here are regulars at the Nightmare Shop."

"……ah!?"

Charlotte suddenly woke up.

You see, all adventurers in this world began their adventures with Axel, and they were all indebted to the Nightmare Shop, which means...

"You're the real king of connections!?"

"Hehehe, that's too much of an exaggeration. I only helped because I saw those adventurers were miserable every day. Besides, it's a mutually beneficial thing, isn't it?"

"Please persevere, my dear Bodhisattva!"

"Please don't say such unlucky things!"

Amy couldn't help but shudder.

There are stories of gods like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in other worlds. They are no different from goddesses and are naturally the natural enemies of demons. After Charlotte said that, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Well then, excuse me..."

Amy put her hand on Charlotte's arm.

Suck--

"Huh!!!?"

Then, she suddenly let out a muffled groan and leaned forward, falling into Charlotte's arms. Her cheeks were flushed, her breath quickening, and her eyes were hazy with intoxication. This nightmare-like older sister looked incredibly touching.

"Miss Amy, are you alright?"

Charlotte was somewhat at a loss.

In his memory, although Amy was also addicted, she had never lost her composure like this before. A mature woman's breakdown unfolded right before his eyes.

"Mr. Charlotte... huff... huff... has your faith strengthened a bit?"

Is that true?

"Yes! Because my faith has strengthened, the stimulation is even greater... To be honest, it has already given me a peculiar stinging sensation."

"Really? Nothing's wrong, is it?"

"Something's up!"

"It's probably better not to continue..."

"It's okay, aren't humans the same? Even when they have things to do, they still like to smoke and drink. Even though they know that excessive energy consumption will affect their adventures, they still insist on coming to Nightmare Shop every day."

No, cannot be refuted.

Charlotte felt ashamed for the captains who insisted on taking off every day.

On the other side, Lolisa, who was both eager and afraid, was encouraged by Amy to try it out boldly. Unexpectedly, her eyes rolled back, her tongue lolled out, and she fainted.

That was too much of a shock.

The two of them, disheveled and drenched in sweat, absolutely could not be seen by Alice outside, otherwise, there would be no way to explain themselves.

Leaving now would feel like a cruel shame, and since Charlotte had some questions to ask, she didn't rush out of the coffee shop.

First of all, Nightmare Shop is serious about opening a branch. It seems the Demon King thinks it's easier for Nightmare to gather information, so he sent them to test the waters first. Considering Charlotte is in the capital, Amy and Lolisa came instead.

However, due to the large number of people and distractions in the capital, it was not a good place to open a nightmare shop, so it was changed to a coffee shop.

"But this also raises another problem: how will the nightmares, who cannot absorb vital energy, survive? They can't just attack others, can they? That would violate the rules set by Lord Banir..."

I've heard that nightmares are ashamed of attacking and proud of seduction. A truly excellent nightmare is one that makes others willingly offer up their life force.

Charlotte didn't understand, but she respected.

Secondly, when he inquired about the Demon King's daughter, Amy immediately became alert and declared that she would never become a traitor to the demon.

"Is that alright, Miss Amy?"

"What?"

"If you don't agree, I should consider letting you have a taste too. Don't call me despicable, the contract only includes Lolisa, the other nightmares are just side effects."

"Mr. Charlotte..."

"Come on, say it... You really want it, don't you? Just say it openly, don't resist. You're looking forward to it too, aren't you? You can't leave now, you want to be satisfied, right? Come on, come on..."

"No, no... this kind of thing..."

Charlotte stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of Amy's eyes, and Amy seemed to be attracted to it, her eyes following it constantly.

Although Amy resisted desperately, having already tasted the deliciousness and fallen into depravity, she was unable to resist the temptation and could only obediently reveal the information about the Demon King's daughter.

Yasaka is the strongest among the Demon King's military officers, but she doesn't have the Demon King's ability to amplify his subordinates. It seems that this ability is inherited and can only be obtained by the next Demon King after the previous one dies.

She has now returned to the Demon King's castle and heard that Charlotte was the one who defeated the Headless Horseman. Considering what happened in the capital, she seems to believe that Charlotte was the one who caused the anomaly.

In other words.

Charlotte's position as a stand-in was confirmed, making him a major threat to the Demon King's army. The thought of the Demon King's army frequently coming to his door in the future gave him a terrible headache.

Finally, I asked some more questions about Axel.

Upon learning that the guild had posted notices about Mobile Fortress Destroyers roaming the area, many expressed concern that they might eventually head to Axel. Aside from that, there was nothing else noteworthy.

The inquiry into the required intelligence has concluded.

Looking at the somewhat abused older sister, Charlotte felt apologetic and spoke again as if to make amends.

"I heard that Banir, a cadre of the Demon King's army, has received orders to go to Axel."

"...Lord Barnier!?"

Upon hearing this name, Amy instantly became radiant again. She... no, to be precise, all the nightmares deeply admired Lord Barnir of Hell.

"But I haven't received any intelligence!"

"It must be a secret operation that hasn't been told to anyone. I guess Barnier is here to investigate me."

"I see..."

Amy suddenly realized.

Unfortunately, Banir had no desire to work; he only wanted to build dungeons to satisfy his perverse hobbies. He even faked his death to escape and joined Wiz's magic item shop.

Of course, these are all for later.

After finishing his conversation with the two nightmares, Charlotte walked out of the coffee shop and was about to greet Alice when—

"Come on, ah—"

"ah--"

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Mmm, delicious!"

A blonde woman dressed in a white suit with a long sword at her waist was happily being fed by Alice. She ate street food that was out of place for her status without any disgust, simply because the person feeding her was her favorite princess.

Claire, when did you arrive?!

Charlotte laughed, an awkward laugh.
