Chapter 180 The Bishop’s Lore and the High School Saint
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
It was the morning after. As the three of us, who had woken up completely naked, were getting dressed, Bishop Canon, with her radiant smile, offered a suggestion to Ms. Ivrita while wiping her body with a damp cloth.
”Ivrita, that medicine from last night only works where it’s applied, correct? Why don’t you rub it all over your body before putting on your armor?”
Ms. Ivrita asked, “Is that something I should be doing regularly?”
The Bishop insisted, “Yes. Since Mr. Koji will be providing us with more in the future, it’s best we confirm whether there are any issues with using it continuously.”
I considered this.
Indeed, establishing the long-term safety of various products is important. This is especially true for medicine, as many of them come with warnings to limit long-term use or consumption. Though I formulated the medicine to be harmless, I can’t guarantee it will be effective for every single person. Hearing the Bishop’s words, I mentioned the terms of our supply contract.
”If there are any problems, we can terminate the deal anytime, you know.”
In response, the Bishop, still naked and exposing her chest, shook her form as she approached me.
The bed springs groaned—a deep, rhythmic sound, and her chest followed with a powerful, elastic bounce.
”Even if we no longer need the medicine… you’ll still come visit us, won’t you?” she purred, rubbing her hand seductively over her own stomach.
Was she infatuated with the calorie bars, or was it my thing she had taken a liking to? Sensing my question, the Bishop whispered with a sultry look in her eyes.
”Both, of course? Heh heh~♡”
Both, then. Well, because of Ms. Sakura and the need to maintain a connection just in case, I intended to keep visiting anyway. Taking her reply, I inquired further.
”I see… well, that’s fine, but is the Holy Church’s¹ leniency regarding sexual matters due to the influence of the ‘Founding Saint’? Were there no restrictions placed on this sort of thing by, say, the teachings of a God?”
The Bishop answered with a subtle, strange expression.
”The teachings of a God, you ask? The Holy Church was created by the ‘Founding Saint’ herself, so our dogma is based on the Saint’s teachings, not so much the teachings of a God…”
”But wait, the Holy Church performs the ‘Rite of Blessing,’ where you hear the voice of a God, right? That means you acknowledge the existence of a God, so didn’t anyone consider that creating a dogma that ignored that God might… well, might anger that God?”
”That’s a good question… According to the Saint’s own words, ‘God merely called me, and will not directly interfere with the people of this world.’ That’s why only the Saint’s teachings have become the dogma,” she explained.
So that’s why they don’t fear divine punishment and why their sexually permissive doctrine is accepted. It’s not like they force sexual acts on people, so I suppose that’s fine, but one part of the conversation caught my attention. The parts about “God called me” and “this world.” Combining those two points led me to a single deduction:
The ‘Founding Saint’ must have come from another world.
I haven’t met God, but Ms. Sakura and I are from another world, so it wouldn’t be strange for the ‘Founding Saint’ to be an ‘otherworlder’ like us. Though there’s no telling if it’s the exact same world we came from.
”…”
Ms. Sakura also seemed to wonder if she and the ‘Founding Saint’ were similar beings, pausing her dressing to stop and listen to the Bishop’s story. She then questioned the Bishop.
”Um, are there any records of the Saint’s appearance?”
The Bishop answered easily, “Yes, there are several. Let me see…”
The creaking of the bed was loud as the Bishop climbed off, and then there were light, hurried steps as she went to the bookshelf, retrieved a book, and returned.
Rustling and flipping filled the air as she turned the pages, and her chest bounced again, full and free. While I was distracted by the movement, she seemed to have found the page she was looking for.
”…Ah, here it is. This doesn’t contain everything that’s been recorded, but it is a copy of a portrait preserved at the Holy Church’s headquarters.”
It seemed this book held one or two images of the ‘Founding Saint’ from different eras. The very first portrait we saw shocked both Ms. Sakura and me.
””What!?””
It was a Japanese high school girl… and what you would call a Gyaru². Her name was ‘Rikka Horibata.’
It was a perfectly plausible Japanese name. The picture was black and white, so the color was only mentioned in the text, but her straight hair, which reached the middle of her back, was a light brown, and she was a beautiful girl with a model-like physique. While not quite as large as Bishop Canon’s, her chest was perhaps a little too prominent for a typical model?
She was wearing what looked like a blazer-type uniform—a white blouse on top with a necktie, and a very short pleated skirt below. She looked young, so it didn’t seem like cosplay.
”That is the Saint’s appearance from the time she was personally active. It is said she manifested when humanity was on the verge of being destroyed by monsters, and she used her own power to greatly boost our allies’ strength.”
The records state that she was able to discern people’s talents, including their Skills and Magic, and established a system to utilize those talents effectively. As part of this, she founded the Holy Church and worked systematically for the prosperity of the human race.
If she was a Japanese person from an era close to mine, I wondered why the development of cooking and various other technologies was still lacking. Perhaps she knew what the products were but lacked the technical knowledge of how they were manufactured in the first place? Well, never mind that for now.
The power to discern skills and talents, huh… hmm? It sounds similar to the Rite of Blessing. Was there a connection? Just as I was thinking this, a knock came from outside, followed by a voice.
Knock, knock, knock
”Is the Bishop awake?”
It seemed a woman was on guard duty at the door during the night, and the Bishop was slightly flustered by the voice.
”Oh, um…”
Ms. Ivrita took over for the Bishop, who was still almost completely naked. She climbed off the bed and headed for the entrance. She, too, had been about to apply the anti-itch medicine, so she was just as naked as the Bishop.
She answered the door from behind it.
”It’s Ivrita.”
”Ah, good morning. Deaconess Martina has arrived, but is the Bishop awake?”
”Yes. However, she is currently changing, so please wait a moment.”
”Understood.”
After that exchange, Ms. Ivrita returned to the bed, and the Bishop gave instructions while getting dressed.
”You don’t need to rush too much, Ivrita. Go ahead and apply the medicine. Lady Sakura and Mr. Koji, please finish dressing.”
””Yes,”” Ms. Ivrita and Ms. Sakura responded. But I turned my gaze to Ms. Ivrita.
Since the armor-induced itching was said to be all over the body, the medicine needed to be applied everywhere. Even if there was no need to rush, waiting too long would arouse suspicion… and putting on the armor also takes time. I decided to lend a hand with the application.
”Ms. Ivrita, I’ll help you.”
”Eh? Are you sure?”
”Yes. I’ll take care of the back and other posterior areas; you can handle the front.”
”Yes, please,” she accepted.
Sloshing and patting sounds followed as Ms. Ivrita took the medicine from the small pot and began applying it. Since the entire body was the target, her scalp was also included, and she rubbed the medicine into her head with both hands. It was a provocative sight that made me want to play a trick on her, but given the circumstances, I suppressed the urge, took the medicine in my hand, and touched her back.
”Oh!♡” she gasped, her body jolting.
I must have touched the exact right spot, causing Ms. Ivrita to suddenly cry out and shudder.
”Um…”
”S-Sorry. I’m sure it wasn’t audible outside.”
Well, if it had been, the guard would have shown some sign of movement last night. Therefore, there was no need to hold back, and I quickly rubbed the medicine into her back.
”Mnn… Haaa…♡” she sighed with every movement of my hand, and I felt myself getting a little hot and bothered.
After applying the medicine to the front of her body, she began applying it to her arms and legs. I noticed the tips of her breasts, which were gently shaking, had hardened. Just as my body was becoming even more aroused by this sight, a hand reached out from the side.
A soft grip closed around me.
”Hm?”
”Tee-hee…♡” Canon Bishop was the one who reached out; she grinned and began moving her hand up and down.
Swish, swish the rhythmic motion began.
”This must be difficult for you, isn’t it? I’ll quickly settle things down for you♪ And here we go♡” she teased.
A quick intake, then a long, sucking, bubbling sound as the Bishop, now clothed, unhesitatingly took me into her mouth and began to move her head rapidly up and down. At the same time, she was licking me with her tongue and sucking with such force that her cheeks hollowed out. She was intent on extracting everything she could.
Then Ms. Sakura embraced me from the side.
A tight squeeze held me close.
”Um, just in case a sound escapes… Mmm!♡” she moaned, then kissed me.
Sucking sounds followed as Ms. Sakura, just as unhesitatingly, thrust her tongue into my mouth, thrashing around as if to savor and consume everything inside. With the sucking sensations from above and below, I wondered if they had been unsatisfied last night, but I concluded that wasn’t the case—they were simply highly libidinous.
In the midst of all this, Ms. Ivrita finished applying the medicine and securing her armor, calling out to us.
”Um, I’m finished here…”
”Mmm♪” and “Mnnn!” were their only replies.
The sucking grew more vigorous and the lapping more intense. They both increased the intensity of their respective actions, and before long, I reached my climax and released.
Jetting and spattering sounds followed, and the Bishop moaned, “Nngh!♡”
To avoid dirtying the clothes of Canon Bishop, who was currently occupied, and since she didn’t look like she was in a position to talk, I released my essence into her mouth. She didn’t hesitate for a moment, savoring and then swallowing what I had released.
Ms. Sakura, who was watching, stopped kissing me and murmured, “I’m jealous…”
Her eyes were a clear demand, and I was not unwilling to comply. However, the situation forced me to suppress that desire.
Knock, knock, knock
”””Ah!”””
The renewed knocking, which surely meant the deacon was prompting the Bishop for a reply, forced us to hurriedly finish preparing ourselves. During that rush, Ms. Sakura secretly reached down and touched me.
A rubbing and gentle squeezing sensation surrounded me.
”C-Consider that a reservation…” she whispered.
With both the Bishop and Ms. Ivrita becoming my partners, Ms. Sakura’s opportunities would naturally decrease. I presumed this was her invitation stemming from that concern… and I answered her with an action of my own.
A sliding touch, then a gentle squeeze returned her favor.
”Ngh!♡” she gasped softly from the fondling of her core, and seemingly satisfied that the reservation was complete, she finished dressing with a relieved expression.

Summary:
The morning after turns into a provocative lore lesson when Bishop Canon suggests full-body application of the anti-itch medicine, leading to Koji’s realization that the Holy Church’s relaxed stance on intimacy is tied to the ‘Founding Saint.’ The plot thickens when the Saint’s portrait is revealed to be a modern-day Gyaru Japanese high school girl, Rikka Horibata, from Koji’s own world. The scene culminates in a rushed, highly intimate sexual act with Canon and Sakura that is cut short by the arrival of a deacon, leaving Sakura with a determined ‘reservation’ for the next round of love.

Character Insight:
Koji’s mind is a fascinating mix of academic analysis (concerning the Saint’s origins) and raw, physical desire. He’s strategic, but his intentions are easily derailed by the women’s assertiveness. Canon Bishop is a force of nature, using her position and sexuality to secure Koji’s continued presence. Sakura is shown to be increasingly possessive and physically demanding, securing her place in Koji’s schedule with a tactical touch.
—
Behind the Scene:
The revelation of the ‘Founding Saint’ as a high school girl from Japan is a major plot point, confirming Koji is not the first ‘otherworlder’ to arrive and influence this world. This creates a parallel with Sakura and Koji’s own situation, suggesting a pattern to the transfer of people from our world. The lore about the Saint’s teachings overriding ‘God’s teachings’ explains the world’s permissive culture.
