Goddess Lilith paused for a while after she said those words and licked the semen she scraped out from her pussy and hummed happily.
[My bad, Paladin. But your semen tastes so good, and it gives me some energy to stay in this world longer. Let's continue.]
Saying so, she licked her finger clean and smiled.
[It's about the edge of the world.] She began, and I narrowed my eyes as it fully grabbed my attention.
"That's…"
[I know you have a lot of questions, but hear me first. To go beyond the edge, you must be qualified. Unfortunately, just because you're my Paladin doesn't mean you're qualified to go beyond. You still lack something.]
"Qualification?" I asked curiously.
[Indeed.] And the Goddess confirmed with a swift nod.
Was that the reason behind that warning? I wasn't qualified yet, so that thing warned me to stay away first and enjoy my life. Then, what was it?
"What's the qualification?"
[If I tell you about it, won't it get boring? There are clues hidden on the other edge of the world. You should check on them someday during your travels.]
'Now I am curious and have gained a goal… The other edge of the world, huh? If that's true, then I need to visit the west edge, which is located in the Sin Kingdom, to obtain this clue.'
The Goddess winked at me and scooted away as I fell into deep thought.
Then somehow, the clothes Sana threw on the ground, a white leotard with a cropped black cape, flew toward her body as if they were alive and dressed her. Was that also the Goddess' magic?
Ignoring my curiosity, the Goddess giggled,
[Fufufu, I always watched you since you qualified to be my Paladin and will always watch you in the future. Good luck with your journey, my Paladin.]
After she finished her sentences, she blinked, and the golden glow in her face disappeared, turning them back to the lovely aquamarine. The playful expression from earlier turned into an embarrassed one as it flushed a deep red.
"A-Aa… S-Sir Arthur, that was not me at all!" Her voice turned back to the familiar one I had heard a few times. I was sure Sana had regained control of her body now. "I wouldn't be so bold!"
I chuckled at Sana and pinched her cheek. She made such a cute flustered expression, making me want to tease the Archbishop, that usually kept her cool.
Saying she wouldn't be so bold was a lie on her part. Because the way Goddess Lilith acted and Sana acted when she was excited was a bit similar.
However, I wouldn't say that to her as I didn't want her to realize that and let her get this flustered every time.
"I believe you." With that answer, I put up my pants and stood up. "You should get a bath and clean your body. I will take my leave now."
"Y-Yes." Sana stood up and nodded. That sudden movement caused her to wobble down because her crotch probably still felt the aftereffect from earlier and still had a bit of semen dripping from it.
"Forgive me, Sir Arthur. But it seems I won't be able to see you go. What we did… What you did with Goddess Teri earlier is still, umm… lingering." She sounded embarrassed when she said the last part and looked down.
"Don't worry about it, and just rest for now," I spoke in a soft voice and put a yellow stamina potion inside a small tube on the table. "This might not be much, but drink this and have a fast recovery."
Sana looked at the potion before looking at me with a bright smile.
"Thank you very much, Sir Arthur."
"You're welcome."

After leaving the church, I walked slowly toward the other area of Academy City I hadn't visited yet, like the area around Diligentia, Humanitas, Temperentia, or Patientia Academies.
Each of those areas had its own interesting characteristics. Unfortunately, The Royal Academy had nothing of such as it was in the middle of them. But Castitas Academy had its own religious background, and the church was the symbol of the area, alongside some places with religious themes.
It wasn't that bad, but they were a bit too stiff. The area around Diligentia Academy was filled with libraries, as the students loved to study in their spare time.
The most luxurious area in Academy City, which was filled with beautiful parks, high-end restaurants and café, as well as some amusement areas, was the area around Patientia Academy, which was filled with noble students.
My destination was one of the parks to process the information I obtained from Goddess Lilith. Sitting on the long wooden bench under the shade of the tree, I looked up and let my weary body rest.
It was… a long and exhausting morning. Though it was now already afternoon, and the sun was blaring on top of my head.
"Haa…" Heaving a sigh, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sunlight passing through the leaves, hitting my face. "I never thought I would meet the Goddess this fast, even if she used Sana's body to meet me."
Now I knew what the term Holy Maiden was for. Maybe Sana was also one of the Holy Bodies, as that was the only explanation for why the Goddess could descend into her body.
That meant the Goddess could descend on Ertha's body, knowing she was both Holy Maidens and Holy Bodies. The description of helping the soul to ascend to the Goddess' side was for the Holy Maiden. Sana should've had that ability too. It was probably related to her race being a Half-Angel.
'When I think about it, aren't Sana and Ertha quite special even among the others?'
And that explained why both had high Sins requirements if I wanted to dominate them. As for Ertha, the fact she had the higher requirements meant she was more special than even Sana.
More importantly…
"The edge of the world. I probably need to visit all of them if I have the chance. I am in no hurry, but Goddess Lilith's words made me curious about it. I remember she mentioned beyond this world, meaning what I saw in that void wasn't a mistake or my imagination."
That was indeed something. Now that I calmed down after gathering my thoughts together, I also noticed the notification didn't even ring once when I had sex with the Goddess, probably because it wasn't her real body.
"Sigh, there are a lot of things I didn't understand."
I thought I knew almost everything, but it seemed like that wasn't the case. This was exciting because I could find something new and have new adventures while having fun.
It wasn't that urgent, and I was in no hurry to find out the truth behind that thing. I wanted to take this life easy, just like what I did now, enjoying nature alone in this park.
The time to be urgent and moved fast had ended. Just from the Goddess' words, I also believed she knew how to go to another world, as she called me human from another world. If I wanted a way to return home, it was best to ask her directly, though I doubted she would tell me.
"Well then…" I muttered and straightened my posture. "Let's return home and punish my cheeky maid before the others return to the mansion."
