How did I get into this mess...

"Does serving a slutty Goddess make you feel superior?"

"I don\'t want to hear that from someone serving a petty Goddess!"

The two yelled at each other, fighting verbally. Ten minutes ago, the peace we had disappeared. I wish this would stop. Remembering what happened, I wondered what had gone wrong.

"Constance, there\'s a place that we need to check out if you are visiting this hub."

Grace held my hand with a sparkle in her eyes and dragged me along. Seeing Grace so excited, I wondered where we would go next.

"Tada~! Look, don\'t you think this place is great?"

As much as I would like to share her excitement, I had no idea where she had taken me. Even if I saw the building, there were no signs or notable features to guess what the place was.

"Grace... What\'s this?"

I know this might have ruined her excitement, but that didn\'t seem like the case. She had expected me to say this.

"This is the head quarters to us nuns!"

Us? Did the two other nuns also serve the same Goddess? And is this place supposed to be a church? It seemed a bit run down. Since I didn\'t want to be rude, I spoke nothing about its appearance.

"Does the other nun share the same belief as you?"

I had hoped to try my best not to hurt Grace\'s feelings, but no matter what, I ended up saying things that Grace didn\'t want to hear.

"The other two serve different Goddess. Sometimes I can\'t understand their reason for choosing such Goddess..."

But isn\'t sharing the same church disrespectful to their Goddess? Asking that question would do more harm than good.

"Says you! Your Goddess is a slut!"

Anger could be heard in the voice. Coming out of the shack, a different nun could be seen. Unlike Grace, who was known for beauty, the person screaming had more of a darker aesthetic.

Instead of a prim and proper look, she was like a child going through a phase. Having to wear black makeup and chains around her neck, she didn\'t look like she was a nun.

"Calling a Goddess a slut is a sin! Just because someone is beautiful doesn\'t mean they are a slut! Look at your Goddess! Her title itself is being someone petty! I can\'t see how anyone could worship such a Goddess."

"Petty??? You\'re also a hypocritical bitch. Insulting my Goddess would result in a beating!

The two went back and forth with their insults. At first, I didn\'t intend to get involved, but if they fought for hours, it would be best if I stepped in or someone capable of doing so.

"Please stop. My head is going to explode on day from your fighting."

By a miracle, my prayers have been answered. Someone else other than me had stepped in and joined the fray. Grace and the dark nun were about to do a physical fight,

All I could do was hope that the fight here won\'t escalate. But from the looks of it, the physical aspect of this fight would be stopped.

"..."

The two glared at each other without saying anything. I sighed in relief, knowing that this fight would be over. With the new nun stopping the fight, she glanced at me and gave me a welcome smile.

"I\'m Eris, serving the God of Peace."

All these nuns had severely different personalities. I can\'t say much about Eris and the person fighting Grace, but their attitude alone says so much about them.

"I\'m Constance. It\'s nice to meet you, Eris."

"I know this is rude to ask, but is it right for everyone to serve a different God or Goddess to have the exact location?"

Eris gave me a wary smile and explained why it happened.

"We don\'t have many believers in this hub. Money isn\'t something anyone could earn. We were lucky enough to own a place to pray even if we have to share the cost."

So it came down to money. I could see why the nuns here had to share, no one in this hub would donate their money to things they never cared about.

"Why don\'t you come in? I\'m sure those two need some time alone."

Unlike what Eris had said, Grace returned to my side and gave me a wary smile. As for the person with Grace who was arguing, she had left.

"Sorry about that. I didn\'t expect her to come."

"Grace, please don\'t set Nina off. You know how pushy she is."

Grace looked away and had taken what Eris said in mind. We entered the shack, and unexpectedly, it was much better inside.

The space inside here was much larger than it actually was. I wouldn\'t be surprised if an artifact were in use. Inside there were three statues, one for each nun here.

"How is it? Are you shocked?"

Grace gave a cheeky smile, knowing what my thoughts were. As for Eris, she welcomed me in, and we sat around with a drink.

"Do you mind if I ask which God or Goddess do you serve?"

Sitting down and relaxed, Eris asked me the question Grace had earlier. The answer I gave Eris was the same as I gave to Grace.

"I see... Why don\'t you take the blessing of my God? As the God of Peace, we don\'t require much from you."

"Sorry, but my rules can\'t be changed."

"That\'s a shame..."

Eris had regrets knowing that I wouldn\'t join. My beliefs have gotten me this far. Abandoning it now would be a waste.

"You aren\'t the first person to try."

Grace said it was pointless. For the whole day, we spent talking about their world and mine. I didn\'t notice, but time flew in an instant.

"Do you mind if I ask something? What do you plan to do next?"

I didn\'t expect Grace to ask me this here. With a week here, I didn\'t have much in mind.
