Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 92 Princess X Priest X Nightmare

"That's how it is. Through this, I met Claire. Well... how should I put it, she's like an older sister to me."

"I don't think she wants to be your older sister."

"What?"

"No, it's nothing."

Claire's first meeting with Alice was uninteresting and full of stereotypes.

They met at the banquet, had a conflict, resolved the situation, developed feelings for each other, joined the Knights, and became Alice's protectors and mentors.

Of course, the reason she was able to get to this point was not only because she was born into the very prestigious noble family of the Kingdom of Belzerg—the Sinphonia family, and was the daughter of a duke, but also because she received a noble lady's education and was very skilled in swordsmanship, making her one of the best in the royal guard.

Overall, they are super elites.

In Alice's eyes, Claire's care filled the void of not having a sister. Although Darkness was also very close to her, it was still far inferior to Claire's.

"However... I know Claire means well, but being locked up in the palace all the time is really boring."

Alice puffed out her cheeks again.

On this point, Charlotte was on her side.

While Claire didn't exert the same pressure on Alice as she did with her son's success, she still tried her best to make Alice a qualified member of the royal family, even setting strict requirements for her profession.

Does Alice dislike sword masters?

"...No. Many protagonists in adventure stories are sword masters or crusader knights, which I also admire. But I also really like professions like high priests or archmages."

Alice was a child, just like other children who always said they wanted to be scientists or astronauts, and she was having a hard time choosing.

The difference is that her exceptional talent is enough to allow her to switch to any profession.

Speaking of which, Alice once imagined herself, like Chris, becoming a notorious thief known throughout the streets in the original story.

"Um, brother..."

"What's wrong?"

"If I were to become a priest..."

"Then the church will welcome the most outstanding priest in its history, and perhaps even the goddess will descend to earth because of you."

Charlotte stroked her head.

"That's an exaggeration."

Alice laughed happily.

Reality isn't a game. While we might not be able to learn the skills of a sword master, who says priests can't use swords? As the high priest, Charlotte wears boxing gloves and carries a cross, doesn't she? As for the curry stick, the divine weapon prepared by the king, it's fine as a symbol.

A pure and innocent saintess...

Believe it or not, Charlotte was actually secretly looking forward to seeing that scene.

"Speaking of Iris, you..."

"Gurgle————"

Before Charlotte could even ask, she heard a familiar voice, and Alice, her face slightly flushed, clutched her stomach; she must be hungry.

After traveling for so long, it's time for the two of them to eat something.

"How about trying some affordable food?"

"May I!?"

"certainly."

"Very good!"

Claire did not allow Alice to eat commoners' food; it was unclear whether this was due to her ladylike upbringing or a rule unique to royalty.

Although Charlotte always says she should behave like royalty, she doesn't want Alice to say something like, "If there's no bread, we'll just have cake."

We arrived at the food street, where the aroma of food filled the air.

Alice was amazed by the variety of novel snacks, and encouraged by Charlotte, she bought a lot. Skewers, crepes, potato pancakes, pizza... and so on, almost all of them were snacks brought to this world by the reincarnated.

Those reincarnated individuals who came to this other world earlier have all expanded their businesses here, leaving no way for newcomers to survive.

Because they had a lot of stuff and it wasn't very convenient for them to move around, the two found a coffee shop to rest for a while. They sat at a round table outside the shop, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street and the vendors shouting their wares.

Alice enjoyed these and ate them with relish.

At that moment, a waiter approached the two and said, "Would you like to order, sir?"

"Just regular coffee will do, Iris..."

"same."

"Then, two cups of regular coffee."

Charlotte said it offhand.

His attention was focused on Alice, and his puffed-out cheeks made him look like a little squirrel.

"Two regular coffees, right? Okay, please wait a moment, they'll be right there... Also, sir, could you please come with me for a moment? There's something I'd like to tell you."

"Sorry, I don't have time right now... Lolisa!?"

Charlotte instinctively declined, but when he looked up at the waiter beside him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and open his mouth.

What comes into view.

It turned out to be Little Nightmare Lolisa.

She wasn't dressed in the store's daring outfits, but rather in the typical attire of a coffee shop waitress: pink pigtails, a brown apron, and a white shirt, making her look very youthful and vibrant.

"Is that so? Since Mr. Charlotte has something to attend to, then I won't bother you any longer... It's a promise that I shouldn't interfere in your life, right?"

"Hello!!"

Although Lolisa is very understanding, her playful wink and ambiguous statements can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Charlotte glanced nervously at Alice beside her, only to find her looking at the two of them with the same puzzled expression. The naive princess seemed not to quite understand the meaning of those words.

Lolisa smiled kindly at her, then turned and left to go back into the shop to prepare coffee.

Only then did Alice speak, asking, "Brother, do you know each other?"

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Charlotte organized her thoughts and explained, "She kind of needs something from me... You see, I'm a priest, and I even do confession ceremonies in the church."

"I see!"

Alice suddenly realized.

Lolisa did indeed need his help, and he did indeed work in the confessional service at the church; yes, he wasn't lying.

"Then you go, brother."

"...What?"

"That lady must have wanted to see you about something. Don't worry about me, I'll stay here and wait for you to come back."

She really made me cry my eyes out.

Alice was being too considerate of others; she probably misunderstood that Rosa had something she wanted to confide in Charlotte, which is why she said that. But the thought of doing *that* kind of thing gave her a strange sense of transgression.

However, Charlotte was indeed puzzled by her presence there.

Could this be another Nightmare Shop? But aren't Nightmare Shops only found in Axel? That's why even the Demon King has to go to Axel to relieve his boredom. So why is she here? Could it be related to the Demon King's army...?

"I'm sorry, Iris, I do have something I want to ask her. Could you wait here for me?"

"Okay, please don't mind me."

Alice smiled gently.

With a slight sense of apology towards Alice, Charlotte got up and walked towards the coffee shop, pushing open the door—

"Welcome, Mr. Charlotte."

The familiar Nightmare Sister was there, smiling and greeting him.

Unexpectedly, Amy also came.
