She's an Angel. A full-fledged Angel.

Karina-chan here. I got a quest from the Goddess to [Obtain (Embarrassed) Beautiful Women's Socks]!

That Goddess is definitely a pervert, right? Not that I'd ever, ever say it.

 

 

It felt like there was a ticking time bomb in my body, so I wanted to deliver the socks as soon as possible and secure my private space.

Why do I have to worry about such perverted situations…? Was this the price of power…? I guess there's no such thing as power without a price…

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, Sister-san."

Before I knew it, I was back in the front row of the church's chapel.

Harumikazuchi-oneesama's stockings had disappeared from my hands and I could feel the flow of time in my storage space slow down. That was definitely proof that I had met the Goddess.

"Would you like to rest in the break room? … Oh, you're a colleague. What a shame. May the world be at peace."

"Excuse me? Umm, yeah?"

The Succubus-ish Sister looked into my eyes, then quickly changed her attitude and walked away. Seemed like she'd approached me with the intention of getting my socks. I see, so I was a beauty after all.

… The moment I saw Sister-san's pink eyes, I felt something like, "Oh, she's the same as me." Hmmm, it was a strange feeling.

At any rate, my business with the Goddess was done. I left the church and — oooh, the sunset was beautiful — then returned to the church and called out to the Sister from earlier.

"Excuse me, colleague. I'm actually out of money… could I borrow a blanket or something?"

"We normally ask for a donation for that… but I'll let you use the break room for the night. But I can't give you dinner, okay?"

"Oooh! Thank you very much!"

Having a comrade with a base is really reassuring!

Helping each other is important. Once I become a merchant I'll donate a lot of money to the church.

A night passed, and I woke to chirping birds. The classic morning-after scene, except I'd slept alone.

Since I was generously given use of the break room (and my storage space room still wasn't ready), I woke up wrapped in a warm blanket.

"… Gotta get up, huh."

I got out from under the blanket. Mmm, should I copy it? It would be for personal use and not for sale, so that much should be safe, right? But I was just borrowing it, so it wasn't mine… maybe that's no good? Hmm…

It's safe! I can't resist a warm blanket…!

And so I added a blanket to my storage space. Ah, crap, dizziness overload.

The blanket was pretty big. It was the biggest thing I'd copied so far.

As I sat for a bit hugging the blanket, resting, my stomach growled.

I tried gnawing on some jerky last night, but it was too salty and hard to eat.

I felt in my bones just how much research had gone into jerky back in my past life…

Basic Knowledge-san knew how to eat it, but it seemed that it was something you should shave with a knife and put into soup. I should have confirmed it sooner… big sad.

I then heard a knock at the door.

"Are you awake?"

"Yeeeep."

It was Sister-san. I folded up the blanket and opened the door.

When I opened the door, Sister-san was holding a tray with a small loaf of bread and some vegetable soup on it. I couldn't help but gulp.

"Here you go, breakfast."

"Huh? I thought I wouldn't get any food?"

"Well, we'd already prepared dinner last night. I can still give you breakfast, though. We're comrades, right?"

Damn, she's an Angel. A full-fledged Angel. And a Succubus, but still.

… Come to think of it, religion is all about mutual assistance.

I was non-religious in Japan (though technically Buddhist), but it was really nice to have an organization that would help you out and treat you as a comrade just because you believed in the same God. I guess I'll believe in her too.

"… When I make some money, I'll donate a lot!"

"I won't get my hopes up, but I'll be waiting～"

"You should though? I've received a lot of blessings from the Goddess."

"I will in that case. Please donate a large gold coin once you've made it big."

"Ooh? You said it now, huh? I just might do it. In the future, though."

"You don't have any money now, so just accept the church's charity."

Sister-san winked at me. I'm gonna fall for her.

… Wait, is this tendency to fall in love so easily also a trap embedded in my body? But the happiness of being in front of such a cute girl is unbearable! I love it! I want her to hug me with that plump body of hers! Does she have a devilish tail or something!?

"… Hey. Could you not get horny for me? I can tell, you know?"

"Uguh!"

Succubi are fearsome…!
