Volume 4 Chapter 25 Interlude： The Church Of Kent And The Civilian Girls
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”You were Lady Seema, weren’t you? I must say that the answer to your question guarantees a happy life. However, only those who truly dedicate their body and soul to Sir Kent will be granted such happiness. Do not doubt the omnipotent Sir Kent.”
”So… to give everything… what does that mean?”
”It means everything, as the words say. You should perform the services that Sir Kent desires.”
Ms. Carly implied that one should please His Excellency Kent using their body.
Seema seemed to understand that meaning.
”So, that truly brings happiness?”
”Ah, absolutely. Do not doubt… only those who believe wholeheartedly can reach it. Now, let me introduce someone who has reached it. Helga, please come in.”
Seema sat down, seemingly convinced.
Then, the door to Ms. Carly’s room opened, and Ms. Helga entered and took the stage.
She was also one of His Excellency Kent’s concubines.
”Thank you all for attending the sermon of the Church of Kent today. Carly, the founder, asked me to speak of Sir Kent’s power, so I will share the miracle that happened to me.”
With that, Ms. Helga suddenly activated the ‘torch’ magic.
”Now, regarding the magic you just saw, I originally had no aptitude for magic at all. This is certain, as I failed the magic certification exam 3 times. However, as a result of being infused with Sir Kent’s holy liquid, I was able to perform the magic you just witnessed. Sir Kent granted me the aptitude for magic that I had longed for.”
The room buzzed with Ms. Helga’s account.
What Ms. Helga was saying was impossible in this world.
A person who had failed the Magician Guild’s certification exam 3 times claimed to have gained magical aptitude.
A staff officer asked Helga a question.
”Did you not have it originally?”
”I have a certificate of the Magician Guild’s exam results. Would you like to see it? I definitely had no talent.”
Ms. Helga took a piece of paper from her jacket.
It was likely a certificate from the Magician Guild.
A large × mark was clearly written on the surface of the paper.
”Is it really true… that I can receive magic training…”
”The Almighty Sir Kent can empower the powerless. What else could we call this but divine!”
Ms. Helga spoke of her experiences in a different atmosphere than at work.
The participants, hearing Ms. Helga’s story, leaned towards joining His Excellency Kent’s order.
There are many who desire the potential for magical power.
”Helga’s tale only conveyed a part of Sir Kent’s greatness. Today, we have 2 more guests to share their experiences.”
Ms. Carly called in 2 more people.
The newcomers were FerFer and IneIne, Sir Kent’s maids.
The two took the stage and began to share their stories.
”Thank you all for joining today’s sermon by the Kent order. I will share Mr. Kent’s incredible powers with everyone. Before meeting Mr. Kent, I was just a waitress at the humble Hunter Guild, but after a short time with him, I became an Intermediate-level hunter!”
A murmur spread through the audience.
It was said that becoming a Standard-level or Intermediate-level hunter took years, even with talent and good members.
I have heard that FerFer has not even known His Excellency Kent for 6 months.
It seems that fighting alongside His Excellency Kent leads to rapid growth.
In fact, His Excellency Kent’s direct Hunting Group, ‘Crimson Bride,’ has quickly become one of the top 5 hunting groups in Abyss Vena since its founding.
Moreover, it appears to be the top female-only hunting group.
”I was a waitress at taverns until Sir Kent scouted me. But now, thanks to Sir Kent, I was able to obtain [Maid Warrior] with Ms. Feria.”
The murmurs in the venue grew even louder.
Everyone was buzzing at the mention of the unfamiliar job [Maid Warrior].
”What kind of job is [Maid Warrior]?”
A female administrative officer asked Ines.
”It is a job that allows us to protect our master, Sir Kent, both inside and outside the mansion, handling everything from housework to nighttime duties and even combat. With the special skill [Maid Combat Techniques], we can harness Sir Kent’s power and cut down enemies.”
The job [Maid Warrior], obtained by IneIne and FerFer, seemed to be a rare job that was not well known.
Apparently, it has a mysterious skill that allows one to absorb their master’s attack power as their own.
Hearing this, the cavalry officers became excited.
For combat officers, increasing attack power is of utmost importance.
It seems that the administrative officers were not very interested.
However, they were curious about His Excellency Kent’s ability to nurture talent.
”If everyone believes in Mr. Kent, a happy life is guaranteed. Therefore, I recommend joining the Church of Kent.”
”Right now, there are few Worshipers, so the chances of catching His Excellency Kent’s eye are high.”
After the two finished sharing their experiences, Ms. Carly took the stage again.
”There are still many others who have gained a happy life through Sir Kent, aside from the 3 who just spoke. If you believe in Sir Kent and serve him without doubt, you will receive his blessings.”
Looking at Ms. Reina next to me, she murmured with sparkling eyes, “After all, believing is important.”
If His Excellency Kent were to call out to Ms. Reina now, she would likely start her service immediately.
Seema is saying, “I wonder if I should change my hairstyle to catch His Excellency Kent’s eye.”
Other participants were also discussing ways to become involved with His Excellency Kent.
At that moment, Ms. Annabella, who had been silent until now, stepped forward.
”Those who wish to join the Church of Kent after hearing the esteemed teachings of Carly and the experiences of the 3, we will now hold the divine ceremony. By participating in this ceremony, you will gain the title of [Worshiper] as a member of the Church of Kent. And those Worshipers deemed worthy to serve Sir Kent will be introduced to him by me, the Head Maid.”
The room buzzed once again.
It seems that if one joins the sect, Ms. Annabella will introduce them to His Excellency Kent.
Ms. Annabella, the Head Maid of the Blackdagger family, oversees the women who are Sir Kent’s concubines and is the one favored by His Excellency Kent after his legal wife, Lady Miriallia.
Currently pregnant, she is on leave until she reaches a stable period, but if she promises to introduce someone, it is certain they will get closer to His Excellency Kent.
”If I become a [Worshiper], will I really be introduced to His Excellency Kent…?”
A female officer from the cavalry was asking Ms. Annabella again.
”I will introduce you to Sir Kent as a servant of the church’s believers. Sir Kent does not dismiss women lightly. Even to those he has spent a night with, he will extend a helping hand.”
”Then, I will join! I want to serve Sir Kent as a believer!”
As the female officer from the cavalry declared this, almost everyone in the room was expressing their desire to join.
The two people next to me were also saying they wanted to join.
However, I was feeling hesitant.
It looked nothing short of a suspicious cult.
This cult seems like nothing more than an organization to satisfy His Excellency Kent’s desires.
It is said that His Excellency Kent, possessing [Sexual Prowess], can handle dozens of women without tiring.
In fact, he had over 20 concubines.
I spoke to Ms. Reina, who was determined to join, sitting next to me.
”Ms. Reina… this cult is basically a harem for His Excellency Kent. Well, since it’s His Excellency Kent, I doubt he’d treat them like disposable toys, unlike the generals in the capital…”
”Est! Don’t compare Sir Kent to those vile generals! Sir Kent is the one who will give me a happy life!”
Ms. Reina was genuinely angry.
It seemed she was seriously considering joining.
”Senior Est, aren’t you going to join the Church of Kent? Even though we are by His Excellency Kent’s side, the chances of being touched before Lady Lila’s ban is lifted are low… it might be quicker to get introduced by the church.”
Seema also seemed inclined to become a follower of His Excellency Kent.
At this rate, it was easy to imagine both of them being taken as lovers by His Excellency Kent in his office, considering their looks and his personality.
I didn’t want to get too involved, but I couldn’t just watch my colleagues fall into a dubious religion.
I thought I should join them as a brake to prevent their reckless pursuit of becoming His Excellency Kent’s lovers.
”…I guess there’s no helping it… I’ll join too. I can’t just leave Ms. Reina and Seema like this…”
To ensure they wouldn’t go wild aiming to be His Excellency Kent’s lovers, I decided to join and take the reins for both of them.
* * *
After that, the divine ritual conducted by Ms. Carly took place, and at last, the 3 of us were able to obtain the [Worshiper] job and become disciples of the Church of Kent.
However, there were about 3 girls who couldn’t obtain the [Worshiper] job, and later I heard it was because they had boyfriends.
The church’s regulations state that only unmarried women can dedicate themselves entirely to His Excellency Kent, so it seems they couldn’t obtain the job due to that rule.
Ironically, after breaking up with their boyfriend, they managed to obtain the [Worshiper] job.
I wonder if I surprisingly like His Excellency Kent…?
Thinking about His Excellency Kent’s appearance and his womanizing nature makes me want to shake my head in denial, but now that I have the [Worshiper] job, I feel like I can’t deny it.
Somehow, I feel like I’ve been collared by His Excellency Kent.
While thinking about such things, we left Ms. Carly’s room.
