And so, it took us a few 'days' to complete the preparations for the Saint's vacation.
As I've said before, Lily had suitcases prepared beforehand. That, and she also selected a few servants to tag along, ready to attend to Her Holiness' daily needs. Letters and squads of advance guards were also sent ahead, obviously to secure our route and also so that the other party would be ready once we arrived at their place. She's quite fast and reliable, as if she already expected a situation like this.
Lily's pretty efficient and meticulous, down to the very details of this event.
Meanwhile, it took Lily some time to convince Her Holiness to take a break from her duties as a Saint. Her Holiness was reluctant at first, going as far as emphasizing the responsibilities that she had to bear ever since assuming the Sainthood. However, Lily had me for her trump card...
Seriously guys, do I look like I can get all things done to you?
I made the Human Saint realize that as she was right now, she's virtually useless for her duties because she vowed never to go out unless she gets back to her old figure. And it's not like she's helping herself to lose weight, either. I heard from Lily that she had to pry that plate of chocolate cake from Her Holiness' hands when she was trying to stop her from eating another cake.
So, I told the Human Saint, "If you can't be responsible for your own body, then you shouldn't assume that you're doing your duties well as a Saint too!"
I guess that made Her Holiness cave into our demands.
"..."
As for me?
Well, I couldn't even fully pack the suitcase Lily gave to me. I mean, I'm virtually empty-handed when I came to this world, and my possessions had increased little since then. Partly because I knew my stay in this place would not be permanent (it's troublesome to move a lot of things), and partly because of my limited finances.
But if you ask me, I'm not that excited. I mean, it's a good thing that I'd get the chance to have a change of setting ever since I came to this place. However, having to meet that asshole back from the 'seasonal mass' was something I'm not that happy to think about.
What will I say if we meet again? Will that guy recognize me? And if so, what should I do? This was a different world. There's no telling what would happen to me if I raised enemies in a place where I have little control or knowledge.
Hey, that incident back in Arles—when I first met Her Fluffy Holiness disguised as a slave—was a different matter!
"Hmm...Master, I see you met Maddie's father back in the humans' seasonal mass?" Just like Her Holiness, the Beastman Saint had read my mind once again, without my permission.
"Uh, yes." I still couldn't adjust myself from having the privacy of my head violated by these holy women. But well, it's not that big of a deal to me, so I'd let it off as always.
"Well, if you're afraid of that guy, don't worry, you have me around like your slave, Master!" Her Fluffy Holiness had a smug expression as she declared that.
"'That guy'?" I'm surprised by Her Fluffy Holiness' way of referring to that person. I mean, you might saw me do it in my mind, but I never dared to speak it out, lest I risked getting executed for insulting a noble. But it looked like this beastwoman, Ruro of the Wolf, had something to do with Her Holiness' family to say that so easily, huh?
"You're quite right, Master." Her Fluffy Holiness nodded as she handed me a folded clothing, "I once kicked Jimmy Nee Rubinforth's arse when he's young, see?"
