“Look my Lady! My armor is starting to grow back!”

The Sexy-Knight proudly showed off a few dark blotches of skin that now barely covered her crotch and nipples. From here it will apparently only take one to two more hours before her armor has fully regrown.

Yes, Galmons are weird.

But I had my own clothes related trouble to deal with. To her credit, Maria did actually bring me a spare change of clothes but of course I had no way of wearing those.

Maria did promise me she will have some “appropriate” clothes ready at the tower, which didn’t exactly lighten up my mood.

(Incidentally, I eventually figured out that the reason Maria managed to catch us like that must have been because of the tracking spell.)

It was a roughly thirty minutes ride from here to the cathedral and while I somewhat pushed it to the back of my mind, the effects of “horny bunny” were now fully hitting me again.

I could just pull the ears off but that would ruin my perfect look.

“My Lady?”, Sanakia stared at me. “Would you like me too…”

No! No matter how horny I was, I will not have Sanakia gratify me inside a carriage! I have my standards.

Besides…

I touched my collar. I don’t think Sylphid got rid of the orgasm lock, did she? No, of course that impudent girl didn’t. Where’s the remote?

BEEP! BEEP!

SYYYLPHIIIIIIID!

In order to somewhat take my mind off EVERYTHING I decided to brief Nikkou on our situation. While the holy Blade hardly seemed to care about my reasons for fighting, she still should be at the very least be made aware of.

...

“’tis a harsh blight indeed, oh battle maiden”, Nikkou replied once I had finished my summary of the events that let to this. “Thou used to be male before thou were cursed to traipse around as a Kyan-Kyan.”

“Please do not bring that up, oh holy blade! My Lady is very embarrassed about her current shameful attire! But I am very proud of her. I could never walk around wearing something so debasing!”

...

“Sanakia, you suddenly feel normal again about your current lack of clothing.”

The Sexy-Knight blinked a few times and then immediately squealed and covered herself up.

Better.

The sword let out something that almost resembled a chuckle. “’Forsooth, this must be thee trappings of fate. We share quite a bit in common, it doth appear.”

“You used to be a male uh..sword?”, I asked.

“Nay, mine was human before mine very essence was transmutated into thee blade ‘fore ye.”

Oh.

I never considered that. That Nikkou could have been a human once. “Was that the result of a **** Penalty curse?”

“Nay, mine was betrayed by a man mine loved.”

…

I felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this. This was not a fate I wished upon my worst enemy. “Is there something we can do for you? To restore you back?”

“Thy compassion arth appreciated but required not. I quite enjoy mine existence. ‘tis more pure, untwisted and sharp. Without thee meaningless cravings that human flesh doth bring with it.”

I suppose as long as she’s happy.

“I can understand! If I could turn into a sword for my Lady, I would do it in a heartbeat!”, Sanakia assured.

“Hmph”, I sniffed. “And why would I want that? One talking sword is quite enough. Besides…” I gave the Sexy-Knight a few pets. “I happen to quite enjoy your current form.”

“My Lady!”, Sanakia squirmed, turning immediately red again. “How indecent!”

…

..

.

“Oh! A cosplayer!

“Is that girl naked? How scandalous!”

“The bunny girl is soooo cute!”

While the trip via carriage spared us most of the humiliation, you might recall that Rasheul Cathedral sits on top of a hill. There was nothing to be done but complete the last leg of the journey on foot.

“M-M-Make w-w-way for m-m-my Lady!”, Sanakia blurted out stuttering. “B-Bare...I...I m-mean bar our w-way on your own peril!”

She wasn’t very convincing.

Unfortunately for Sanakia, her armor was still far from fully grown, if anything the small bits of coverage only accentuated her nudity.

Her erotic form was however covered in a fully body blush.

Oh well, at least this time she won’t overheat.

Meanwhile, I enjoyed the attention more then I thought. My body was pretty amazing after all. I even proudly brandished the holy blade, but these unrefined yokels seemed to think it was merely a cosplay prop. Hmph, fools. They will recognize my greatness soon enough.

With Maria bringing up the rear, our procession slowly climbed the stairs and entered the massive cathedral. Fortunately, Maria, skilled as always, had already made the necessary arrangements and a cleric was ready to take us immediately.

As it happens, said Cleric would be none other then Cell. The sister who helped me with my issue with Sanakia a while back.

Her reaction to our party was certainly a lot more normal, as the cleric didn’t seem to know if my stunning appearance or the presence of Nikkou was worthy of more gasps.

After a few moments she finally appeared to have calmed herself down. “To think I would be in the presence of the Holy Lance Jaiverdhan, the Heroic Blade Escude and the Holy Blade Nikkou in just a matter of days. The Goddess truly works in mysterious ways.”

“Yes, yes, she sure does”, I nodded. “We are on a bit of a time limit, so I appreciate if we could dispense with the formalities.”

“Of course!”, Cell responded. “I can sense a few curses upon you. Quite typical for adventurers that brave Rasheul Labyrinth.” She took a deep breath and blushed.

“Is everything alright?”

“Quite”, the cleric coughed. “My apologies. I couldn’t help but be affected by your cuteness. A most dangerous curse this one is.”

Naturally.

“At any rate, would you care for me to remove all your curses?”

“Absolutely not!”, Sanakia put in. “We only need the cold one removed!”

That and “Gullible” and “Lay it bare” and “cuteness” and uh...”the arrogance..” I quickly added. I didn’t feel like the last one was affecting me all that much but better safe then sorry.

“But my Lady!”, Sanakia gasped before I shushed her. I will absolutely not have the Sexy-Knight screw me over this time.

Cell cocked her head in confusion. “That would be...all the ailments befalling you, then?”

“Not exactly. There is some stuff on me that I have to keep.”

“Are you referring to the tracking spell? As this spell is part of the tournament I can’t...”

“No, that’s fine too.”

“Then perhaps the collar around your neck?”

Oh come on!

How dense can you get? What a slow witted girl.

“It may have escaped your notice”, I stated, rather annoyed by now. “But I have some other nonsense on me. Specifically the gender bender stuff and pervert power. Unfortunately, I will have to stick with them for now. I plan to get rid of these before long however. Perhaps we can make an appointment for the day after tomorrow?”

The more I spoke the more the color drained from the cleric’s face. By the end she was visibly shaking.

“What is it now?”, I asked impatiently. “Is my stunning beauty still bothering you?”

Whatever it was, the cleric needed a few more deep breaths to find her composure. Then she stared at me with a surprisingly angry frown. “I will chalk this up to mere ignorance. Certainly you must have noticed that both “Gender Bender” and “Pervert Power” are a blessing.”

“If you mean that it is qualified under blessing then yeah? I guess? Don’t really see what’s so blessed about that.”, I grumbled, too irritated by the clerics annoying objections. “Look, can we get on with it? I don’t have all day.”

This elicited more gasps of outrage until Sanakia finally squeezed my hand. “My Lady..uhh...forgive me, but I need you to shut up for a while.”

“’twas clumsy, oh battle maiden. , Nikkou elaborated. “Thou asketh a member of the cloth to commit thee sin of heresy. Doth thou understand?”

H-Heresy?

“The holy blade speaks true”, Cell nodded with an edge in her voice that rivaled Nikkou. “A “blessing” is a blessing of the Goddess. Bestowed upon you as a sign of her benevolence. To even ask to have a blessing of the Goddess removed is akin to a sin. If we were in the holy city you would be charged with blasphemy.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew a lot heavier.

“Uh...my bad?”

It didn’t seem my apology did much to placate the angry cleric. “Your complete lack of gratitude before the eyes of the Goddess is appalling. While it is not the Church’s place to speak judgment in Rasheul, we do reserve the right to refuse service. In fact, I am of a mind to let you keep your curses.”

W-wait!

“I will chastise my Lady for her iniquitous ways later”, Sanakia promised. “Please forgive her, she is naive and ignorant in the ways of the Church.”

I remember, quite clearly at that, that Sanakia insisted I could remove this “blessing” at the church.

“I too shall dispense chastisement for thee odious behavior o’ mine blundering wielder.”

I don’t want to be chastised by a sword!

“And I am more then happy to thoroughly rebuke Master Beta later as well”, Maria chimed in. “Would a five hour long flagellation suffice? Or perhaps a walk of shame?”

ALRIGHT. I THINK THAT’S ENOUGH!

But it worked. Somehow. The sisters feature softened again. “Very well. Since the Holy Blade itself speaks in your favor I will absolve you of this sin. I can expect we will hear no more of such sacrilegious thoughts as to remove a blessing?”

“Y-Yes..” I was **** to say through gritted teeth.

This pleased the cleric. “Splendid. We usually require a 500 Gold coin donation for each curse. But in your case I would recommend our “Sanctified Ultra Plus” package. A mere 2000 Gold will suffice to get all your curses removed and you receive a Goddess Alice Doll as a bonus.”

Of course it costs money. Speaking of which, why couldn’t we find any money in that dungeon? Well, I suppose we can sell the massive amount of items we got but still...

“Luckily” Maria brought my fighter pass along, so I begrudgingly paid up and Cell worked her holy magic. It really didn’t seem any work worthy of that outrageous a price tag but what do I know?

“Ah?”

The moment the curses were lifted I felt a deep blush creeping up, this time unrelated to my arousal.

“M-My apologies…”, I stuttered out. “That one curse affected me quite a bit, it seems.”

The cleric nodded, now returning to a smile. “The Goddess accepts your apology. May fortune be with you in your battle tomorrow.”

“T-thanks.”, I responded sheepishly, feeling as if I could just crawl into a hole and die.

“Your compatriots will still have to properly punish you however.”

My three compatriots eagerly(or the sword’s equivalent of it) nodded.

…

..

.

The way down the stairs was far more mortifying then before. Without that arrogant curse I was positively cringing from humiliation. Cuteness was gone too, so the comments from the onlookers turned a lot more...lewd.

Once we finally reached our carriage again I exhaled deeply. That was utterly mortifying but at least this was done with. Now all that was left was to finally arrange matters with Femto and squeeze as much training time out that I can. Although I can’t say I’m looking forward to greeting the rest of the girls like this.

“Actually”, Maria interrupted my plans. “I am afraid we will have to make one more detour, Master Beta.”
