"Give me what you owe," said Alex, holding out his hand to Mina.
"W-What do I owe?" Mina stuttered.
"For saving you," Alex replied, still holding his hand out.
"B-But-"
"No, but Sister Mina, we rescued you when you had been kidnapped, and instead of thanking us, you insulted us, well, me, but it's the same anyway, so now, pay up," Alex shook his hand.
"Y-You did a good deed by saving us, the goddess of light is surely going to reward you, perhaps you will even obtain a blessing, so you don't need me to-"
"No way, I don't want a blessing, I want cash!" Alex rubbed his fingers together with a grin.
"I-I don't have money," Mina said in a barely noticeable voice.
"I didn't hear you, what did you say?" Alex lowered himself while covering his ear.
Mina gritted her teeth and shouted in his ear, "I DON'T HAVE MONEY!"
"Oh, I see," Alex nodded while returning to his initial position, "you don't have money, huh? You are in luck; I'm a magnanimous person, you don't need to give me money."
"Really?!" Mina's eyes lit up in joy.
"Of course, I'm not a cruel person after all, so if you can't pay with money," Alex's eyes roamed all over the nun's body, and when his gaze met hers, he grinned, "you can always pay in kind."
Gasp!
Mina gasped in shock and swiftly covered her body with her hands.
"H-How salacious! How can you ask such a thing from a nun?!" Mina exclaimed in disgust.
"Hm? What are you talking about?" Alex tilted his head in confusion. "What I meant is that you can repay me with something valuable. What were you thinking about, Sister Mina?" Alex grinned at the nun, his pearly white teeth showing.
"N-Nothing," Mina waved her hands.
"Is that so? Then why are you blushing right now? Just admit it, Sister Mina, you have thought of something naughty, right?" Alex teased.
"No! That wasn't the case!" Mina exclaimed, her face resembling a ripe tomato.
"Hehehe, a naughty nun. It sure changes from the usual stuck-up nun," Alex sneered as he licked his lips.
Mina wanted to retort to him, but she didn't have anything to say. She could only turn towards Umra and Mara for help.
Seeing her begging eyes, Mara cleared her throat and said, "Sorry, sir, but, as she said, we don't have money. I beg for your-"
"Oh, I did understand that you don't have money, but, as I have said, she could-"
"Ugh, you are annoying!" Mina exclaimed.
She ripped the golden necklace from around her neck and forcefully pressed it against Alex's chest.
"If you're trying to touch me subtly, I must say it's not as discreet as you think," Alex smiled at Mina.
"I-I..." Too enraged to say anything, Mina stormed off.
Catching the necklace in his hand, Alex shouted to the leaving nun, "don't you think it is dangerous to leave alone? If you want, I can-"
"Not needed!" Mina shouted back as she took hold of Umra and Mara's arms and pulled them away.
The two of them barely had time to bow their heads to Alex before the nun hastily pulled them away.
Meanwhile, Alex stood there, observing them as they left.
'I have to say, despite their conservative attire, they have attractive figures,' Alex licked his lips as he observed how Mina and her two acolytes' asses swayed as they walked.
A sudden chill ran down the backs of the three women.
Turning around to stare in the direction they came from, they witnessed Alex waving at them with a friendly smile on his face.
"Ignore him," Mina said to her two friends who were about to wave back at Alex.
Mara and Umra nodded and resumed their walk, under the watchful gaze of Alex.
'Hey, do I gain additional points if the one I sleep with is a nun?' Alex addressed the system while still staring at the nuns' butts.
[It depends on the religion of the nun]
'How so?'
[The additional points depend on the perceived depravity of the sexual act. For instance, having sex with a nun from a religion that emphasizes the pleasure of the flesh might result in fewer additional points compared to engaging in such an act with a nun from a religion that strictly prohibits indulging in carnal pleasures.]
'So the purest the nun, the more additional points I obtain?'
[Exactly!] , the system replied...a little too enthusiastic.
'So sleeping with a nun coming from the church of the goddess of light might earn me a good amount of additional points right?'
The system remained silent for a moment, leaving Alex to believe it wouldn't respond. However, after a minute or so, it replied. Yet, its usual monotonous voice was replaced by a sweet and seductive tone.
[Oh, you want to fuck the sweet daughters of the old hag, good, good, I was worried that you would disappoint me after seeing your idleness of the last few weeks, but I'm reassured now~]
'Goddess of lust' Alex remarked calmly when he heard the voice who had just spoken.
[In person, or rather, in your head] the voice giggled mischievously, [glad that you still remember your goddess.]
'What do you want?' Alex inquired, not in the mood to deal with her.
[Why so serious? Relax a little~]
'If you don't have anything to say, then leave me alone.'
[Sigh, always so serious. Anyway, I'm here to reply to your question.]
Alex raised an eyebrow and mentally urged her to continue.
[To reply to your question, yes, you would gain a significant amount of additional points if you engage in sexual activities with those virgin maidens.]
'As I thought,' Alex smirked faintly.
[Don't get your hopes up so fast. Engaging in any sexual activities with those girls won't be easy. Plus, I'm not on good terms with that old hag, so you should tread carefully when attempting anything with her precious children. Otherwise, you might get killed without even knowing how you died.]
'Who is the old hag you are talking about? The goddess of light?' Alex inquired.
[Who else? Of course, I'm talking about her. Anyway, I'm done talking here.]
'Wait, I have another question,' Alex said, but unfortunately, this time it wasn't the goddess who replied to him.
[What is your question?]
'Forget it' Alex sighed.
Lowering his gaze, he carefully observed the golden necklace that Mina had given him.
The golden necklace took the form of the goddess of light—a beautiful and graceful female deity with both hands extended forward.
'It's just the emblem of their religion in the form of a necklace, what is valuable about this?' Alex pondered, feeling that he had been scammed by the nun.
He scrutinized the necklace for a few seconds but ultimately tossed it into his space ring when he couldn't feel anything special from it.
Turning around, he focused on Anita, who was sitting next to her unconscious father, and said with a wry smile, "Sorry that you couldn't bid farewell to your friends because of me."
"Don't worry, we already did so when you were speaking with your sister," Anita stammered with a slight flush on her face.
"I'm glad for that, but you know, you can be more relaxed around me; after all, I'm going to become your husband soon," Alex teased.
The flush on Anita's face grew, and she quickly averted her gaze from Alex, causing the latter to sputter in laughter.
"Alex, we should also prepare to leave; we need to take the heiress and get out of here before other members of the Night group come back," Amelia advised.
"You are right," Alex nodded his head.
He took a deep breath and exhaled the multicolored smoke inside his body.
"What are you going to do with that?" Amelia wondered, as there was no need for that since they weren't in a battle right now.
Anita, on the other hand, just stared curiously as Alex exhaled the smoke. 'Where does this smoke come from? I didn't see him smoke anything.'
"Wait and see," Alex grinned at them both.
He commanded the smoke to acquire adhesive properties and then directed it towards his hair, ensuring that every strand of his silver hair was coated.
Soon, the smoke haze enveloping his hair dissipated. Under the astonished gaze of the two women, Alex's usual silver hair was gone, replaced by a vibrant array of multicolored strands.
"So, how do I look? Handsome right?"
