Lazy Dungeon Master C556

As declared to Kehma, Leona was reading a book in the church.

She was disguised in a nun's habit, blending in seamlessly without disturbing the church's atmosphere.

However, the Succubi Sisters who were left behind in the village as Leona's followers noticed her. In fact, the nun's habit Leona was wearing had been provided by the Succubi themselves.

Although they had been asked to monitor Leona by Kehma and Rokuko, their gazes were sweet rather than stern, as if watching an idol from afar. As always, she was the object of their faith.

Beddhism was a sub-religion that didn't deny one's primary faith. The Succubi were still believers of Leona.

Given that the Succubi wouldn't have been able to stop Leona if took any action anyway, their stance towards her was correct so far as monitoring was concerned. Kehma and the others didn't demand that much so the sisters were secretly monitoring her as part of the dungeon side as well.

“Leonsama. It's been a while.”

“Oh, it has been a while, Suira… Now that I'm a sister, should I call you Sister Suirsama?”

“You seem amused.”

Nevertheless, Suira knew very well that Leona thoroughly enjoyed situations where such hierarchical relationships were mixed up—or in other words, chaotic situations.

After all, Leona was the Chaos God.

“So, Leonsama. Please tell me all of your purposes for this visit. If there's anything I can help with, I'll assist you.”

“Oh? Won't Kehmsan get mad?”

“Founder-sama told me to [Find out her purpose, and if it doesn't harm the village, help her and send her home quickly].”

It seemed to be with Kehma's consent. There was still a question as to whether it was alright to come out and say it in such straightforward manner, but it was just as likely something that didn't need to be hidden.

“Well, it's alright. Is Michiru doing well?”

“She is, but what is your purpose?”

“One of my purposes this time is to examine Michiru. She's your princess, right? I need to give her a health check once in a while. I'm still her primary physician, after all.”

“That's… yes, thank you.”

“I'll examine the other girls as well.”

Leona seemed to be in a good mood, chuckling to herself.

Closing her book, she headed towards the back of the church. First, she was going to examine Suira, the head sister, before the other sisters arrived.

“[Super Appraisal]… Oh, you've grown quite a bit. You've been receiving vital energy from Kehmsan properly, haven't you?”

“No, Founder-sama doesn't lay a hand on us at all. He has his own exclusive Succubus, so we can't even sneak into his bed at night to show our gratitude.”

“Eh, seriously? How do you manage your vital energy then?”

“When we work at the church, we often receive a considerable amount of affection… And after confirming that such people have fallen asleep in the church, we visit them in their dreams.”

The Succubi were able to enjoy delicious vital energy and their partners had their worldly desires cleared away, resulting in a win-win relationship.

“On the day of mass, it's an all-you-can-eat feast. It's amazing.”

“Surprisingly rational, as expected of Beddhism…”

As Leona expressed her admiration, the other Succubi arrived. Among them was a particularly young Succubus, Michiru, so Leona decided to examine Michiru after Suira.

“It's been a while, Leonsama!”

“You seem to be doing well, Michiru. Leaving you in this village was the right decision.”

“Yes, thanks to you, I don't go hungry or shiver in the cold. I'm grateful to Beddhism and Leonsama!”

“Yes, then I'll examine you. [Super Appraisal]… Hmm, you're progressing well. At this rate, you'll become a Queen in no time.”

“Hoheh… I can't really feel it.”

Michiru's reaction was a bit subdued, but the surrounding Succubi suddenly became excited.

“Oh, we'll be able to overthrow countries!”

“Regaining our power won't be a dream anymore!”

“Yes, we'll take back the countries stolen by those Incubi!”

In the midst of all this, Suira noticed Michiru's troubled expression and gently patted her head.

“Michiru? You don't seem too enthusiastic.”

“Suira Onee-sama… I think I'd be fine just staying in this village as a sister.”

“Oh? Don't you want to become a princess, Michiru?”

“This village is just too comfortable.”

Suira nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, Golen was very comfortable. With Beddhism there was no shortage of food. It was truly a suitable place to call a haven or paradise.

“Also, Cid-kun is delicious…”

“You mean the village chief from the neighboring village? If Michiru likes him, it might be a good idea to kidnap him when the time comes.”

“No, that's not okay. Cid-kun is working hard as the village chief and he's technically the top candidate for the next lord of Pavuera, right?”

“It seems like his lineage is impeccable. Instead of abducting him, we could properly negotiate and welcome him as the prince consort. He would be of higher status than a lord, so he might even be happy with that.”

“I have friends here too… like Niku, Mai-chan, and Soto-chan.”

“We can invite them as well… Leonsama, is something wrong?”

Suira spoke casually but noticed that Leona was looking at her and asked.

“If you're going to lay a hand on Soto-chan, I'll extract Michiru's [Potential] right here.”

“… Of course, she is Founder-sama's daughter, we would never treat her so poorly.”

“Even so, it's not acceptable. Soto-chan needs to grow up happily here. The Space-Time God asked me to watch over her.”

“I understand, as you wish. Is that one of your purposes for coming here, Leonsama?”

“Yes. I was promised a wonderful reward. So that's also one of the reasons I came to this village.”

Seeing Leona's dreamy smile, Suira decided not to interfere.

They were essentially unable to oppose Leona.

“Don't worry, Michiru. Suira and the others won't be able to defy you, so you can live here as you please, okay?”

“I see! Queens are amazing, huh?”

“Besides, it's not like you have to become a Queen and immediately defeat the Incubi, right? You'll need some training, or you'll be defeated instead. I'd like to see about five years of growth and training.”

“… If it's only that much, well…”

Hearing Leona's words, the Succubi seemed convinced, mumbling amongst themselves.

“Humans grow up quickly, so with him being a noble, he'll be independent in five more years. Michiru, you should think about various things until then. If you take too long, time will fly by.”

“Y-yes, Leonsama.”

After that, Leona conducted health examinations for the other Succubi. As for Suira beginning to doubt whether Leona was capable of giving them proper advice just then… well, that would remain a secret.
