Chapter 9: The Old Guy Meets with Misfortune

The warm morning sun was shining through the window, and little birds were singing outside.

Luceris, though, was lying in bed, rubbing her bleary eyes. She’d struggled to sleep last night.

She’d never been good with mornings to begin with. In fact, it had gotten bad enough that getting out of bed had become a real chore for her.

She somehow comprehended that she was staying at an inn, but everything else had completely left her head. With wobbly footsteps, she made her way to the shower room, intending to carry out her daily purifying ritual.

This purifying ritual, mind you, wasn’t like those carried out at shrines and temples; it was just a sort of daily routine, a habit, within the Faith of the Four Gods. There was no ceremonial meaning to it. It was essentially a kind of mental training for apprentice priests, a way to get them in the habit of following rules and conventions.

When people pick up a habit, however, it tends to stick. And so—almost unconsciously—Luceris went to the changing room and started taking off her clothes.

But just as luck would have it, Zelos—who had been staying in the same room as that very same girl of marriageable age—had gone to have a shower to help him wake up. And right as he was emerging from the shower, feeling refreshed, he ran into Luceris in the changing room.

“Phew. That was a good sho— WUH?!”

Now, Luceris—completely naked and spacing out—and Zelos, who’d just finished taking his shower, stood together in the changing room.

Time stood still for a moment.

Silence.

The sight before Zelos’s eyes caused him to stiffen up. And as a man, he couldn’t bring himself to look away.

Luceris, still not fully awake yet, regarded Zelos with a blank expression.

But eventually, after a few moments, she came to. And when she did—

“BWOAAAAAAH!”

“EEEEEEEEEK!”

Time started moving again, and the two of them screamed in joint surprise.

Fortunately, this room was soundproof.

As a sidenote, Zelos vowed to himself that as long as he lived, he would never forget the wondrous sight he saw in this moment...or something to that effect.
