You vow to restore the natural beauty of his priestess! (10 Sin)

That feeling you couldn't shake... looking at that hair... that fair skin... that youth... those pretty eyes, like something out of an anime...

You pointed one finger at your opponent god in accusatory fashion. Wasn't the way he was using his priestess a huge waste?!

"Excuse me?" Bungen asked, lowering his eyebrows and cupping his lengthy chin with one hand. "Miss Shiryoku Zai is a priestess with near 99% daily utilization and efficiency. Even now, in the Kami Kurabe, she's constantly fulfilling orders and monitoring key statistics that I've charged her with. She simply could not be better optimized as a priestess. I'm not an easy man to irritate, but you're getting there," he remarked, seeming annoyed.

You scoffed, then told him of course you didn't mean it like that! Her sex appeal! Keiko was the sort of Japanese sword girl that moe fans all over the world dream of, but isn't that Shiryoku just the same?! She looks like a fairy, or something close! She must be super hot underneath all that armor- both literally and in the aesthetic sense! Isn't it a crime against gods to bring her out wearing all that?!

"Ha... Forgive me, that was unbecoming," the man coughed, unable to suppress a small laugh. "It's just, you reminded me of an amusing observation I made when I began my work as the Prime Deliver. If you last until a T2 judgment, maybe I'll share it with you," he sighed, then returned to watching the priestesses. You got the sense he was communicating with Shiryoku at a break-neck speed that would probably hurt just to listen to.

As the rest of the audience had their eyes on Bungen, you looked down to Shiryoku... You thought you saw her looking back at you and her fingers paused for just a moment. Less than a second later, they were busily tapping away again. Keiko, for her part, was regarding you with an icy stare that said she didn't appreciate you perving on (other?) priestesses before the match even started.

Still... even if everyone else thought you were ridiculous... you knew you were going to do Shiryoku a favor by letting Keiko break all that stuff off of her!

"Ah... One more thing. I'm giving your priestess a BENGEN brand personal terminal to use for this device. She'll simply strap it onto her wrist and that will allow her to order various items throughout the course of our World Resources match," Bungen explained, not bothering to look at my direction while Keiko accepted the item from a console in the center of the arena. It looked a bit like an over-sized wrist-watch... but whatever was on it, she seemed immediately excited, unfocused even. That might be a bad sign...
