Chapter 522 Client ③
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”So, there are people out there who put themselves through ‘training’ more grueling than anyone else, right? And among them, there’s someone at the very top—someone even they look up to.”
My Love-Mage, Satsuki, explained it to me, adding the disclaimer that she hadn’t heard it directly from the source.
Once she said it, I clutched my head, wondering how I could have been so blind.
It was a total oversight.
Not just for me, either; my disciple Nina-Mailse, who usually spends way more time with that person than I do, was also holding her head in frustration.
But you could hardly blame us for not noticing.
As far as I was concerned, my first impression of her was the woman who slapped me with a heresy charge.
I never would have dreamed she was a regular patron of our shop’s goods.
Nina, for her part, had such a solidified image of the woman as the convent’s administrator that she’d completely forgotten the lady herself was a nun of the “Ascetic Faction¹.”
Once you hear it, though, everything clicks.
Who else could have put a “Ddo-Buddy”—which is supposed to be built like a tank—through such a violent “training” session that it ended up in tatters? It also explained why an acquaintance of mine would go out of her way to avoid me; between the lingering guilt of the heresy trial² and the presence of her disciple, Sister Amelia, it all made sense.
Even my Senior Disciple Barbara’s respectful behavior toward the client started to add up.
Though, I still couldn’t quite wrap my head around what kind of relationship Barbara and that woman actually had…
”So, Master, what are you going to do?” Nina asked.
”Well… I’m curious about exactly how she was using it. Since I have the chance, I’d like to hear her side of the story…”
I thought it over.
It wasn’t one hundred percent confirmed that she was the client yet, but now that the thought was in my head, I couldn’t exactly un-know it.
In the end, I decided to pay a visit to the Canarias Convent.
I show my face there frequently anyway; ever since Amelia got pregnant, I’ve been there every single day.
”Hey there!” I called out.
”Oh, Mr. Harvest. Hello. If you’re looking for Sister Amelia, she’s in the workshop,” a nun replied.
”Ah, thanks. But I’m actually here on another matter today.”
I know my way around this convent like it’s my own.
I walked right in, passing several nuns who didn’t give me a second glance.
The building was the same as ever—a patchwork of repairs done by the nuns’ own hands.
Their income should have shot up thanks to our business partnership, but apparently, they have no intention of spending that money on the facility.
The air was thick with religious tranquility, but unlike the Great Cathedral, the atmosphere here feels warmer, gentler.
I wondered if that was the weight of history or just the virtue of the woman in charge.
”Right then…”
Before I knew it, I had reached a place I don’t usually visit: the office of the convent’s superior, Mother Marian.
”It’s Kento Harvest. Do you have a moment?”
”Please… come on in—nn♡”
I knocked three times—a habit from my old world, even if the count doesn’t really matter here—and the voice from inside granted me entry.
”How rare for you to visit me here♡ Is something the matter—nn♡?” Marian asked.
When I entered, she looked up from her desk.
While coming to her office was rare, I see her at least once a week, so the meeting itself wasn’t anything special.
She was the same as always: long, wavy purple hair and a black habit that was technically supposed to be modest.
Beneath it, however, was a body so voluptuous I could practically see the squish-squish sound effects floating in the air.
From the beauty mark at the corner of her eye to her plump lips, she hadn’t changed since the day we met.
She was the same old Mother Marian.
The only difference was the glasses.
The way she lowered them slightly with her slender, white fingers to peer at me over the frames was undeniably sultry.
”Oh, these♡? It’s just awful, really. Lately, I’ve found it so difficult to see things up close…♡”
(Wait, she’s got old-person eyes?! Seriously?) I kept the thought to myself.
Even a complaint about aging sounded like a flirtation coming from her.
I wondered how old she actually was; at a glance, you’d believe she was in her twenties.
”So? Am I about to have even more work piled onto my plate—nn♡?”
”No, I’m here on a different matter today…”
”Hm-mm…♡ Would you like some tea?”
”Oh, don’t worry about it…”
I sounded strangely tense.
She just smiled and told me to take a seat, taking off her glasses and standing up.
Her hips swayed with a heavy, rhythmic bounce as she headed toward the kitchenette.
”It’s just a humble brew, but here you go♡” Marian said.
I sat on the sofa and waited as she served the tea, still radiating that overwhelming allure.
My heart gave a little thud; I was getting flustered like a total virgin.
I’ve been trying to think of it as “s*x appeal,” but to put it bluntly, the woman is just erotic.
Everything she does is filthy.
I can’t even pin down why, but every single movement she makes is just pure s*x.
It had been a long time since we sat down one-on-one like this, which probably didn’t help the tension.
I took a slow sip, racking my brain for a way to broach the subject.
If I was wrong, it would be embarrassing, so I wanted to probe without her catching on.
(Wait, why am I overthinking this? It wouldn’t be that embarrassing. I’m just a sincere shopkeeper trying to identify a client.) I cleared my head and decided to be direct.
”Actually, there’s a certain ‘Ddo-Buddy’ I wanted you to take a look at today.”
”Oh? A ‘Ddo-Buddy’♡ Is it a standard one, or a new model?”
”Standard. To be precise, it’s a ‘Tremble-Ddo-Buddy,’ but it’s not a new product.”
”I see—ee♡”
Marian tilted her head, looking genuinely curious.
If she was the client, I expected her to catch on the moment I mentioned the ‘Tremble’ model, but she showed no sign of it.
I reached into my coat and pulled out the package.
Inside was “Warrior Alex.” Having been completely restored, Alex looked brand new.
I placed him on the desk.
”…It really is just a regular ‘Ddo-Buddy,’ isn’t it♡?”
”It’s not ‘just’ anything… but yeah, it’s a ‘Ddo-Buddy.’ Also, take a look at these…”
I found myself reacting to her calling it “just” a ddo—a term I’m usually immune to by now—and pulled the rest of the items out of the bag.
One was a jar filled with sand, and the other was a charred, soot-covered scrap of material.
Marian looked at the remains and tilted her head again.
”And these are…♡?”
”These are the remains of the outer skin and the internal vibration mechanism from that very same ‘Ddo-Buddy.’”
”…♡! Oh my… really?”
Marian looked genuinely surprised for a moment, then slowly reached out and picked up Alex.
She pulled him close to her body, her fingers tracing his surface with a heavy, sensual touch.
”So… you’re the one. You’re the owner of this ‘Alex,’ aren’t you?” I asked.
”Hehe, bullseye♡ How ever did you figure it out—nn♡?”

Summary:
Kento realizes that Mother Marian, the superior of the Canarias convent, is the mysterious client who destroyed the high-durability ‘Warrior Alex’ ddo.
He visits the convent and encounters Marian, who is characteristically seductive and appears to be suffering from farsightedness.
After a tense conversation, Kento reveals the restored product and the remains of the old one, leading Marian to confess she is indeed the owner.
—
Trivia:
- The ‘Ascetic Faction’ uses extreme physical experiences (including sexual) as a form of religious training.
- Kento was originally branded a heretic by Marian, which created his mental block against suspecting her.
- Sister Amelia is pregnant, which is the primary reason Kento visits the convent daily.
- The Canarias convent is poor despite the shop partnership, as they prioritize religious purity over facility upgrades
—
Character Insight:
Kento struggles with his ‘virgin-like’ flustered reaction to Marian despite his professional experience. Marian shows a mix of authoritative grace and overt eroticism, using her aging (farsightedness) as another layer of her seductive persona.
—
Lore And Worldbuilding Context:
The author uses the ‘Ascetic Faction’ to bridge the gap between religious piety and the story’s adult themes, creating a ‘logic’ for high-ranking nuns to be power-users of the protagonist’s goods.
