“Men, arrest him immediately!” She cried out.


    “Eh? Why?” I responded as a group of men who appeared to be paladins came filing out and surrounding me.


    Was it just me, or did all of the paladins for the church of the daughter seem to be slightly overweight, had greasy hair, and give creepy vibes like you weren’t sure you’d be comfortable touching their hands? Before I experienced stranger danger from the surrounding paladins, Eliana had appeared and called out.


    “What is going on here, Anne?” She demanded.


    “He started it!” The girl accused.


    “What did I do?”


    “H-he shows with a bunch of big-breasted women and flaunts them around! It’s well established that Deek Deekson is a boob-lover.”


    “Master, I have finished making your room.” Cici appeared from the same doorway that Anne and the others emerged from.


    “I also checked for bad guys! Master will be safe with me on the prowl!” Chance added.


    “Wh-what is this?” Anne frowned.


    “This is my bodyguard and my maid. I guess you can call them my party for the moment.” I introduced them casually.


    I wasn’t even sure why I was bringing them along. Cici was supposed to be cleaning the capital mansion and Chance wasn’t a bodyguard at all. I supposed I had just gotten used to having an unintrusive entourage around. I told myself I was seasoning them. We could dive in the dungeon, I could level them a bit, and then when they returned, they’d grow into their positions.


    Anne’s eyes widened as she looked at the two little girls. Then, her eyes dropped to their chests. A small smile formed on her lips.


    “I see... perhaps there is still hope for your soul yet. Blessed be...”


    “I don’t like the look you’re giving me, and I don’t want your blessings!”
