Chapter 52 - Are You Going To Deny Your Beliefs?
"Eh?"
Asia was taken aback by Mahiro's words.
She cautiously asked, "Sir, what did you just say?"
A reluctant smile appeared on Asia's face; she suspected she had misheard.
How could someone say such a thing?
It must be a mistake.
Perhaps the fall had affected her hearing.
This must be a punishment from the Lord, she thought sadly.
"I said I saw your panties, so you will be mine from now on," Mahiro repeated.
"Did you hear me this time? I don't want to repeat myself a third time."
Asia nodded, looking a bit dizzy.
"W-what!"
Asia suddenly seemed to remember something, exclaiming in surprise.
She looked flustered and hurriedly pulled down her skirt that had been lifted, covering her exposed panties.
"Sorry for letting you see something rude."
Asia apologized, seemingly forgetting the pain.
She stood up from the ground and bowed to Mahiro, apologizing repeatedly.
Her face flushed with embarrassment as if she had done something wrong."
"You don't need to apologize; you'll be mine in the future anyway, so you should show it to me."
Mahiro waved his hand casually, shamelessly emphasizing his point.
"Even if you say so..."
Asia looked very embarrassed and uncomfortable with Mahiro's words.
"Any questions?" Mahiro asked again.
"We just met for the first time," Asia blushed deeply.
Being seen in a place she shouldn't have made her want to find a hole to hide in.
"I've never heard of being seen in panties... and then becoming theirs."
Asia whispered, struggling with her words.
She kept getting stuck on the word 'Panties.'
Seeing Asia's embarrassed look.
Mahiro almost laughed out loud.
Asia bowed her head in response, feeling that speaking these words made her feel impure.
"I have never heard of such a thing!!"
Asia whispered, thinking that Mahiro was being too open.
"And..."
Asia raised her head with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
She stopped halfway through her words and did not continue.
"And what?" Mahiro asked.
"Nothing!"
Asia smiled, but her smile showed a hint of sadness as she shook her head.
"This is one of the rules of Kuoh Town. Even if I want to refuse, there is no way."
Mahiro noticed that Asia was resisting, and so he started talking nonsense.
"How can there be such a strange rule?"
"It's very unreasonable no matter how you look at it," Asia opened her mouth in surprise.
'She actually believed it!'
Mahiro thought, giving Asia a strange look.
Asia is so pure that it makes him want to corrupt her completely.
"Miss nun, you look like a foreigner. Is this your first time in Kuoh Town?" Mahiro asked.
"Well, this is my first time," Asia nodded.
"Didn't you read any travel guides before coming here?"
Mahiro spread his hands helplessly and sighed.
"Travel guides?" Asia tilted her head in confusion.
"What are those?"
"???"
"I'm sorry, but I rarely had contact with the outside world because of my previous work."
Asia was nervous again and bowed in apology.
As the Holy Maiden, she was always kept in the church.
Which resulted in her lack of common sense.
"A travel guide helps you understand different rules of the place you visit."
Mahiro explained.
Asia looked at Mahiro curiously.
"When you go to an unfamiliar place, you need to know about the place, the customs, etc."
"For example, what places to visit, what food to try, and most importantly, the dos and don'ts."
"What you can and can't do," Mahiro explained in a simple and understandable way.
"Eh? Need to do this? I didn't know," Asia looked lost.
She had set off on her journey and came to Kuoh Town unprepared.
"Huh!"
Mahiro pretended to be helpless and sighed.
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing Mahiro's expression, Asia became anxious.
"Of course," Mahiro nodded as if it were a matter of course.
"For example, in the current situation between you and me, you must become mine because I saw your panties. This is one of the most important rules in Kuoh Town," Mahiro said regretfully.
"If you had known beforehand, you would have prepared yourself not to be seen by any stranger."
"But, I'm a foreigner, not a native of Kuoh Town. Do I still have to follow the rules?"
Asia asked.
"As long as you are in Kuoh Town, you must follow the rules, whether you are a resident or a tourist," Mahiro didn't blush at all and said seriously.
"Is there no solution?" Asia was anxious.
"There is," Mahiro's expression suddenly changed, and he raised his finger, pointing not far away.
"Do you see it?"
"What?" Asia followed Mahiro's finger and asked skeptically.
"There's a lake over there," Mahiro said indifferently.
"Well, I can see it," Asia nodded.
"What about it?"
"It's simple to solve the problem. Just jump in and plunge into the lake."
"Ah, so that's the solution. I thought it was something different!"
Asia showed a relieved smile and patted her chest.
Mahiro looked at her strangely.
She clearly didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Wait!??"
The next moment, Asia's face changed.
She exclaimed and looked at Mahiro with a frightened expression.
"You mean... I need to do that to solve the problem?"
She finally understood.
Mahiro nodded.
"There is another way," Mahiro continued.
Asia was taken aback.
"I can jump in too!"
Hearing this, Asia's face, which had just eased up, suddenly collapsed.
"No!"
Asia couldn't bear it and said firmly.
"That's cruel."
"In that case, we can only abide by the rules," Mahiro apologized but was overjoyed inside.
"But... but..." Asia was anxious.
"But what?" Mahiro asked.
"I am a nun, and a long time ago, I swore to dedicate myself to the Lord," Asia looked reverent.
"Although..."
However, Asia suddenly looked lonely and sad and then shook her head.
"It looks like you are a very devout believer."
Mahiro said with a chuckle.
"Yes," Asia's expression darkened, and she nodded lightly.
"In that case, you should abide by the rules of Kuoh Town even more."
Mahiro's words confused Asia even more.
She couldn't understand why Mahiro suddenly seemed so certain.
"There is a church in this town, which indicates that the town exists under the watchful eyes of the Lord."
"Furthermore, this rule has not been prohibited for many years, which suggests that it is acceptable in the eyes of the Lord."
"So, As a devout believer, will you deny your beliefs?"
Mahiro felt guilty for using such tactics but decided to continue speaking nonsense.
Silently apologizing to the God of the Bible, Mahiro calmly gazed at Asia, making it impossible to tell that he was lying.
