Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 187 It's a butt!

As soon as they ran out of the inn, the adventurers spotted them and chased after Charlotte and the others into the street, causing a commotion.

"Wait, don't run!!"

The chasing adventurers shouted.

Do you think I'm stupid enough to just stop when you tell me to? These guys are really difficult to deal with! But if you put yourself in their shoes, if Charlotte had 5000 million in front of her, she'd probably be even more crazy than them.

As Chris was being dragged along, she asked, "What do we do next?"

"Anyway, let's run away first!"

"So, you didn't think about anything at all? Well, that's definitely Charlotte's style—planning to run away until the time limit expires?"

"I don't know either!"

Charlotte looked up at the position of the sun.

So, the sun has already tilted quite far off. Although we don't know the exact time, it means there's only about an hour left before the time limit expires, right?

One hour.

Can we escape together with Chris?

With everyone on the street a potential enemy, the phrase "besieged on all sides" doesn't even begin to describe our current perilous situation.

At this moment, Chris suddenly said, "Charlotte, I think it would be better to stop."

"You'll get caught if you do that!"

"But look ahead."

She pointed straight ahead, unaware that the adventurers had already taken a shortcut and surrounded him.

"When!?"

Damn it, I didn't know about this shortcut if I didn't live in this town. My way was blocked.

The lead adventurer chuckled and said, "Alright, the game's over. You really made me go through all this trouble, huh? Just give up and let me catch you."

"That's what he said, Charlotte. What should we do?"

"Of course we can't let him catch us!"

Charlotte said this without even thinking.

Think quickly, there must be a way to escape this place—strange, why does this man in the lead look so familiar?

"You are...Loris, right?"

"What the heck?! What are you talking about? I'm not some handsome, dashing, and exceptionally skilled knight lieutenant, Lord Loris. Look, we don't even look alike!"

"No, you must be Loris."

Hearing his boast, Charlotte became even more certain. However, the man wasn't wrong; his appearance differed greatly from Loris's, but—

"Hey, you'd better stop fiddling with your glasses all the time when you're talking. Also, you had someone else do your disguise, right? Like that smuggler, isn't that right?"

"What are you talking about? I don't know."

His movements as he fiddled with his glasses quickened, his guilty conscience now completely exposed. Is this guy really a knight? He's actually impersonating an adventurer to kidnap people for money—oh right, he's a follower of Axis, so it's alright then.

"Does Commander Arubert know you're doing this?"

"How could we let the commander know about something like this? Of course, we'd do it secretly—ah!"

"You still dare to say you're not Loris?!"

"I...I don't know what you're talking about."

This guy's way of pretending to be stupid is really weak. His guilty look makes it obvious that something's wrong. Urged on by Chris, Charlotte saw the adventurers who had caught up and could only say apologetically.

"Get out of the way!"

Then, with a slap, he pushed Loris away before she could react, grabbed Chris, and sped off again. Loris, who had failed to intercept the two, could only bitterly regret her defeat.

Charlotte ran quickly down the street, her mind racing, trying to figure out where to hide.

Suddenly, he saw the Church of Eris and ran toward it without hesitation.

Eris Church is the town's most famous tourist attraction. Although anyone can enter the church to worship, believers will never allow anyone to behave improperly there, making it undoubtedly the safest place!

The two rushed into the church but didn't see the old man. They didn't even have time to greet him, so they just went into a random room.

after awhile.

Although you can hear people moving around in the distance, it seems no one is coming here. They probably didn't expect them to dare to break into the church.

Chris looked out the window.

"The sun is tilted quite a bit."

"Is anyone outside? Let's check through the window."

"There's no one within sight. If we use stealth, we won't know. Just in case, should we use an enemy detection skill?"

"No, no need. They're not sure we're here, so there's no need to use stealth skills. Besides, there's no time. They wouldn't be stupid enough to break into the church and search it; even the Kingdom's Knights wouldn't dare do that."

"is that so?"

"Ah, if it were me, without knowing where the other person is, it's better to go and catch them myself than to wait. Besides, the deadline is approaching, and no one would gamble on such a small probability if they didn't know whether waiting would be successful."

Charlotte said this with certainty.

Just then, the voices of adventurers could be heard outside the window.

"Hey, do you have any over there?"

"No, she's not here."

"Search carefully!"

"oh!"

Ok? ? ?

These guys are serious!?

"Looks like the room search is officially starting." Chris was also dumbfounded. "This is clearly a church, and the headquarters of the Church of Eris at that—this is too much! We might be punished by the gods!"

She said this somewhat unhappily.

Anyone would be unhappy to have adventurers break into their church and investigate it, even someone as good-natured as Eris.

But that's not the problem.

Listen closely; the footsteps are getting closer. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before they find the room. But if I go into the hallway now, it'll be like saying, "Please arrest me!"—my only option left is to escape through the window.

Chris snorted.

"What should we do next?"

"If I stay here, I'll definitely be discovered, so I'm thinking of escaping through the window now. Is that possible?"

"I'm fine. I glanced out the window, and it looks like there's a roof over the house. Wouldn't it be easy to escape?"

"Yes, that's what I think too. Okay, in that case, let's hurry up and climb out the window before they find us!"

Charlotte and Chris opened the church window and then climbed up the windowsill toward the roof.

Since Chris is a thief, rooftops are like flat ground to her, so in order to ensure Charlotte doesn't fall, she has to go ahead and scout the way.

Chris hummed a little tune, seemingly without any burden. It seems she's been a thief quite often.

But Charlotte, who was following behind her, was in a much worse situation.

"Butt—it's a butt—"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"N-nothing at all."

Charlotte tilted his head slightly. He had to admit, while Chris's breasts were a bit of a letdown, her buttocks were excellent, incredibly alluring. If he were to rank her among the women he knew, she would at least be in the top two!

Chris, completely unaware of this, instead said with concern, "Stay close behind me, don't fall."

"oh oh----"

Charlotte quickly became serious, but then her mind started wandering again.

No.

Even the slightest bit of focus is being diminished by Chris's butt! In such a dangerous place, I need to concentrate on what's in front of me! — That's how it should be, but what's in front of me is her butt!

"Damn it, am I an idiot!?"

"What? What? Why all of a sudden?"

Chris was startled by Charlotte's sudden shout and looked at Charlotte with a puzzled expression.

No!

Chris doesn't look too good right now!

After all, as a healthy man, seeing this posture and angle would make him think of all sorts of things!
