“Master, we must go to war immediately!” Salicia raced into the room.
I blinked in surprise. When did Salicia learn about our war efforts? I hadn’t even told the prince yet. When I saw her face, filled with anger and worry, I realized that she was talking about something else.
“What is going on?” I demanded.
“It’s Sister!” She cried out. “The church came and took her away two days ago!”
“Oh, good…” I let out a breath of relief upon hearing it wasn’t important.
“Master!”
“Ah!” I let out a cough as Salicia glared at me. “I mean, this is really unfortunate. What happened?”
“The church has sent several strongly worded letters to the manor since you left a few weeks ago.” Faeyna stepped in and explained.
“Did you tell them that I was currently gone?” I asked. “On orders from the prince.”
She nodded. “We did reply as such, but the church continued to send letters. Therefore, we wondered if the letters were making it properly. We ended up sending Carmine to deliver the letter personally. However, that was three days ago, and she hasn’t returned from the church since.”
I scratched my chin as I took in what the two women were telling me. Essentially, it seemed like the church was causing problems. Up until now, my only confrontation with the church was with the clockwork dragon they had sent Carmine to capture. However, after the royal family, they were the second greatest power in Aberis.
There were various things about me that could certainly get their notice. The fact that I was from another world could be troublesome. The idea that I colluded with Salicia, and destroyed the clockwork dragon. My defeat of the demon lord, and the fact that I was keeping her with me despite the chance she could still be a danger. Never mind the job Dark Priest, and my ability to swap out jobs like a Priest. Simply put, dealing with the church would be trouble. I wanted to avoid them at all costs.
That was why I fled the last time I was in the city. It was just a delaying tactic, but I was happily continuing to delay it until I had the King owing me his life. Unfortunately, that seemed impossible now that the church was starting to cause problems with me.
“Master, what will you do?” Salicia demanded, an angry yet hopeful expression on her face.
I reached out and gently grabbed Salicia’s shoulders. “You and Carmine are mine. I own you. I won’t allow anyone else to take what is mine. I will go to the church, and I will bring back your sister.”
Salicia blushed and looked away, not meeting my eyes. “Th-thank you, Master.”
I left Salicia behind to watch the mansion, and then I grabbed the rest of the girls, Faeyna included and headed out into the Capital.
“Is Master really going to go to the church and cause trouble?” Shao asked worriedly.
She understood that her presence was one of the biggest divides between the church and me.
“Hell no!” I responded, causing all the girls to look at me.
“Wh-what?” Faeyna asked, her eyes widening.
“I just wanted to shut Salicia up. We’re going to resolve a few loose ends in the Capital, and then I’m heading to the ocean.”
Carmine will be fine. The slave bond tells me she’s healthy and not dead. Even if the church was trying to force my hand, they would fail! In my mind, the troublesome sisters were completely expendable!
....nevermind the hero skill 'switch position' or that he can teleport back....even if it means delaying using the portal to move around for a day. He's still gonna use a travel guild space mage to get to the coast. Worried about church f*ckers knowing about him having teleport magic? Sorry jack, if this were proper story plot they'd already know. Maybe not the extent it can be used but definitely enough that he can travel to Chalm from the capital.
Don't worry though folks, for some BS reason he’s gonna save her and the author is gonna start some BS drama for no reason that could be avoided if he did something stupid simple, just like past scenes that have already happened.....gah, author, why you do this?
Oh, if somebody thinks that would make a dull story I got a recommendation for you to read.
A Father's Wrath
Stupid OP MC that actually isn't hands down most powerful f*cker alive, kills stupid bastards righteously that deserve to die, including church nuts.
Do I expect this MC to be like that MC 💯? No, but at least enough that he can righteously slap a stupid bint with big d*ck authority and not act like he's trying to hide his hidden cunt in front of anyone that shows they got a d*ck.
To make story longer using some bullsh*t arc for the paladin girl!
Switch position is with party members, not slaves. What he can do though is locate her with the locate slave spell, and open a portal next to her. But that would place him to wherever she is at, be it a cell, in the middle of 500 paladins, or even at a sacrificial circle. The possibilities are endless
Also, so much hate. That last bit was rhetorical. A slap in the face for the trouble twins. It’s for the principle that he looks down on these two. People can be shallow in this world, but at least Deek has his heels dug in when it’s time to act.
I feel like the mc is getting stupider with each passing chapter. His morals are degrading and he's developed a mouth he doesn't deserve. It feels odd to miss when he was a pure simp.
I mean… they sent one of the twins. When it comes to the church, that is a baited hook if ever there was one.
Might wanna bide your time Deek, seeing as this last leg has you bouncing around like a pinball. Portal is gonna come in handy, whereas it’ll bite when the church ambushes you in the travel gate, and your out of moves.
Wow the MC is an asshole!!
Meh, he never intended to have them as slaves anyway, and the only reason they are his slaves is because he can’t release any of his slaves.
Bro just switch position and then portal back! What an idiot! Is he waiting his slave bond getting disconnected like what happened to the elf on the arena?
A bit hard to swallow... expendable, understandable with everything else going on but still... you can’t delay it forever man... time to man up and deal with having power and obligations less you are seen as a weak leader or someone people won’t trust since you so easilly throw others under the buss...
TYFC have a nice day .....
The MC is a little bit weird, last chapter he was one dense (the bad one, since you purposefully eluded to his knowledge of the kiss being possible, you should have honestly not let him think about the kiss if it is truly irrelevant in his mind) but in this chapter he suddenly became ruthless and bastardish, this is why the standard isekai isnt usually read, since there is too much out of character moments, other than that I don't really like how you use chinese idioms, it just doesnt translate well and sounded cringey
