Cleric, Get!

Biscas escorts me and my companions out. Artemis is holding my hand as always while Mei is following behind us dutifully.

Anyway, Mei is wearing her Shadow's uniform, albeit without the mask, and the hood lowered. I'm planning to dress her to look like Mei Terumi from Naruto.

It's shame that she can't spew Lava like that sexy kunoichi. Actually, I can give her the power to use lava using my Omnipotence. I guess I'll do that later.

On our way to the exit, I see a familiar face.

"Eleonora, we meet again." I greet her after stopping in front of her.

"Indeed, Your Holiness." She nods and seems flattered. "So, do you need something from me?"

I decided to go to the point, saying, "Would you like to become my companion? I'm not only going to fight off monsters. I plan to help everyone in need. Perhaps, you can be the face of the Church. It can increase the Church's reputation with the common folks, and you can think it as a pilgrimage. How's it?"

Eleonora seems over the moon by my offer, but she holds herself from expressing her happiness because she's in Biscas's, Artemis's, and my presence. She sends a furtive glance in Biscas's direction, asking for her leader's answer.

"What His Holiness the Bow Hero has spoken is indeed correct. You should accept His Holiness's offer, Young Priestess. It's an honor to go into a pilgrimage with His Holiness the Bow Hero and Lady Artemis," says Biscas in a supportive tone.

He pauses briefly, pulling a thoughtful face. "Perhaps, after your pilgrimage as His Holiness the Bow Hero's companion is over, you have what's needed to be my successor," adds Biscas.

Eleonora is surprised by Biscas's words and then nods in acceptance, apparently relieved, pleasantly surprised, and happy. She turns in my direction and says, "Then, I shall join you, Your Holiness."

"That's Good," I say and invite her to my Party.

Man, who knows that Biscas would become my wingman. In all Rising of Shield Hero fanfiction, all authors want him dead because of his personality and actions in the source materials. In my mind, he can be useful alive.

After my invitation got approved, I open Eleonora's status and inspect it carefully.

————————————————————

Name: Eleonora Bern - Race: Human - Gender: Female - Age: 28

Class: Cleric - Level: 21 - EXP:…

————————————————————

Eleonora is low-leveled, unlike Mei. Her Battle Stats and Hidden Stats are low, except for her Magic Defense and Intelligence. She has high magic affinities for Water, Light, and Support. Her notable spells are First Water Bullet, Second Heal, Second Cure, and some barrier creation and buffing spells.

All in all, she has a proper built to be the support character in a hero's party. I'm tempted to let her bond with the Vassal Staff after I dealt with Aultcray in the future. But, I feel hesitation because the Vassal Staff also suits Rishia.

I put this matter on hold and think it through later. For now, I need to acquire Raphtalia.

"Alright, you can prepare for adventuring. We'll wait for you outside."

"Understood. I shall finish my preparation quickly." After saying that, Eleonora leaves for her room.

Biscas then escorts us to the exit. Then, we wait for my latest companion there. We don't wait for a long time. After waiting for a while, Eleonora comes, still in her nun's uniform. However, she is carrying a mace and a leather bag around her waist.

"I'm sorry for making all of you wait. I only have my mace and plan to visit a blacksmith to purchase the proper adventuring gear," Eleonora says shyly with a pink stain on her cheeks.

For a mature lady who almost hits her 30, she oddly acts like a young maiden who's going to go outing with her love interest for the first time. I have a wry smile on my face when I see her behavior.

"Alright," I get their attention, "Let's find good in to be our base of operation. Do you have a recommendation, Eleonora, Mei?"

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness. It isn't my field of expertise. I can't give you any recommendation." Eleonora seems to blame herself for her inability to help out.

"I know every inn in the town. Please tell me what kind of inn you need," says Mei calmly.

"Nothing special. However, I prefer it if it's clean and safe." I tell Mei.

"Then, would you mind renting rooms in a high-quality inn?"

"No." I shake my head. Inwardly, I'm planning to create the currency of this world using Omnipotence.

"Then, follow me. I shall lead everyone there."

We follow Mei's lead. On the way, I have a request for Eleonora.

"Eleonora, could you lend me your coins for a moment? If you have all kinds of coins, please lend me one of each kind."

Eleonora, walking at my left side, turns in my direction, and shows a confused expression. However, she doesn't ask a question and starts searching the coins in her leather bag. Then, she takes out her fist from the bag and opens it to me. I see gold, silver, and bronze coins, a piece of each kind.

I take the gold coin first and inspect it. I create a skill like Structural Analysis from Type-moon verse to understand its structure. As a currency used in this world, it must have something unique. Without something like that, it's hard to differentiate the authentic coin and the counterfeit.

After finding what I searched, I put the piece of gold on Eleonora's waiting hand. Then, I repeat the same action with the silver and the bronze. I finish my inspection and feel confident with creating an 'authentic' coins.

"We've arrived," Mei announces, and we stop in front of a building with several floors.

There's a notice board next to the entrance door, but I can't read it. I use Omnipotence to grant me knowledge of this world's language. I feel a powerful headache and am unprepared for it.

"Urgh..." I groan. My body sways.

"Hero?"

"Your Holiness?"

"What happened? Wait! Appraise Sickness..."

My companions are taken aback but quickly spring into actions. Artemis helps me to stand straight, Mei skims our surrounding for any suspicious person that has attacked me, and Eleonora uses a skill to appraise my condition.

"Don't worry about it. It's just a headache from a massive influx of information." I say to calm them down.

"Yes? Your brain seems strained. What have you done, Your Holiness?" says Eleonora in a worried tone.

I tell her what I've done. She has a strict expression with underlying worry after listening to my explanation. She says, "Next time, please be careful, Your Holiness."

"Of course. Thank you worrying, Eleonora. Not only pretty, but you're also kind. I feel blessed to have a pretty and kind lady like you as my companion," I smile suavely at her, getting a shy reaction from her.

"Please, don't tease me. I'm already old lady, Your Holiness." Despite saying that, she seems happy from my flattery.

I want to push her down when I see such a shy and happy expression on her MILF face.
