After thanking Alesia, I went to the church to talk with Ertha. Sana hadn't arrived yet and was still in the Holy City.
Finding the blindfolded Bishop was easy. She stood out with her pigtailed blue hair and huge breasts. And it was easier because she always stayed in Sana's office to deal with documents, though I was still confused about how she could read them.
I told her about my own 'investigation' about the lotion and gave her a clue. If possible, I wanted to settle this before the Annual Tournament, which would be held in three days. I guess that was enough time to wipe a city out of this world.
The problem was they could revive and could still sell the lotion if there was one surviving. And I didn't know who knew the recipe to make the lotion, which was troubling. However…
"If that's the case, then it's easy, Your Holiness. Spreading aphrodisiacs and selling them to make people do Sinful things, falling into lust, will give them Sins. And with enough Sins, I can send their souls back to the Goddess without waiting for their predetermined time. In fact, I have sent former Archbishop Jasper back to the Goddess' side."
The way Ertha smiled and clasped her hands together while mentioning killing them 'permanently' was something unexpected for me. And she already sent former Archbishop Jasper back to the Goddess' side?
'This girl is actually terrifying.' I added a note to myself to find Ertha if I wanted to kill someone in the future.
And so, we had some conversation and decided that tomorrow would be the best day to settle this matter. The church would help me destroy the transaction's source and arrest everyone responsible for it.
Of course, Cecil's merchant would be pardoned as he became our informant and only sold it without knowing the recipe.
The decision was made so quickly that I wondered if something like this happened in the past. It worked for me and the church, so I didn't complain. I just needed to wait for Alesia to give me a hit list for people who needed to die permanently or just got arrested tonight, as well as Pink Faced Flower's location.
"We did them a favor, so they should be grateful."
That was what Ertha said when I asked whether we should involve the government.
I agreed with her, and we smiled together.
And so, the raid toward Underground City 'Pleasure' was decided without even consulting the government. Even if they didn't like it, they wouldn't be able to do anything because we saved the Kingdom before the drug called pink lotion spread everywhere.
***
Before returning to my mansion, I informed Sophia, Rania, and my knight squad that there would be a raid tomorrow and they should prepare themselves. I also told Rania to inform Tristan about the raid but added the information about Pink Faced Flower.
That girl also knew about this. In fact, my guild joined the raid to eradicate Pink Faced Flower back in Horizon Online because one of Tristan's friends was kidnapped and about to be turned into a slave. Thankfully, we saved her in time, but that wasn't important right now.
Having the extra power of a Level 90 archer would make this raid easier.
After watching the knights under me express their acknowledgment and Rania run toward Tristan's dorm, I nodded and left the church.
I wasn't in a hurry to get the information from Alesia and just relaxed in my mansion. I sat on the chair near the garden, watching Lara instructing Milea how to fix the garden she ruined with her love juices.
The cheeky nun couldn't help but follow her order because of the pressure exuded from the younger twins. It was a funny sight.
Madam Vivian drank tea around the garden as she watched Milea with her two maids. She acted normally again and even wore a rather covered white dress instead of the one she wore to seduce me. And for some reason, her smile became more charming as she often waved at me shyly.
Time passed as I thought about the plan to raid the center of the transaction of the pink lotion. The main location that needed to be destroyed was the factory and this Tyrant's base. The church should've had the information as Ertha moved the shadow squad to concentrate around the Pleasure City.
And then there was also the Pink Faced Flower field. Even if there was no one who knew its effect anymore, it shouldn't be left alone. So I also needed to destroy it.
'If Tristan joined the raid, she could join my knight squad and the church to deal with Tyrant and his subordinates. She, Rania, and Sophia should be enough to deal with them. As for me… I should be the only one dealing with Pink Faced Flower as I won't be affected by its side-effect thanks to my title.'
It would be stupid if we successfully conducted the raid, but the members were affected by aphrodisiac and had a sudden orgy, which led to the church's reputation and force being destroyed by that.
Before long, Eliza arrived at the academy. However, there was another person with her. A short girl with long blonde hair and a rather modest chest, slightly bigger than Milea. She was wearing an elf tunic. She was Tristan.
'She did drink that potion.' I thought as I smiled wryly. 'But the effect didn't seem to work on her. Is it because she's short? Possibly.'
When she saw me, she immediately ran and stopped in front of me with her hands on her hips, puffing her chest and asserting authority.
"Explain what you mean by mentioning that flower." She said with a narrowing gaze.
Sensing the serious situation, Eliza didn't approach me and instead joined her mother in the garden. The nuns and maids looked at us briefly before returning to their jobs.
I looked up at Tristan and answered, "It appeared and is in distribution."
"Does it exist in this world?!"
I nodded.
Her eyes widened as she bit her lower lips. For her to meet me, even though she wanted to keep this new appearance a secret, just showed how important the Pink Faced Flower was in her life. Yes, important, in a bad way.
"Are you going to let it get distributed, Arthur?"
"No," I shook my head in response. "We will destroy the factory that created it tomorrow and kill everyone involved, permanently. I will also personally destroy the flower field so no one can use it again. I hope you can join the raid squad, Tristan."
"I will." She immediately answered. "I don't want any girls to experience something like that again, forcefully or willingly." Her tone was mixed in anger and hate.
I didn't say anything as I understood her feelings.
No one wanted to remember it, including me. That was why I regretted using that lotion to have fun with my girls as much as they wanted to use it.
"So, what are you waiting for? Looking at your style, you won't sit here without any plan." Tristan looked around, crossing her arms under her modest breasts, emphasizing them.
'This girl… She wanted me to notice it, huh? Shame on you, but I won't play with your game and give you satisfaction.' I thought as I suddenly felt something approaching.
"I am waiting for someone," I replied and stood up, patting her in the process.
Looking at the entrance, there was someone standing in front of it with a large witch hat. It was Alesia, and the gate opened automatically for her as she was the former owner of this mansion. She confidently strode in and approached me without greeting Vivian and the others.
No, she looked at Tristan for a second before turning at me as if nothing happened. But I did notice her gaze.
'Did she recognize Tristan? Or maybe it's the Elf tunic?' I thought but shook it away because there was a more pressing matter.
"How is it, Headmistress? Did you find it?" I asked with a smile. Tristan also turned around and looked at the elf who just arrived.
"Yes." Alesia nodded in answer as she stopped in front of me. "I found the flower field."
"Perfect." My grin widened, "Let's talk the details inside with my subordinate, Tristan."
Tristan nodded at the elf, which Alesia ignored for some reason. It made the cute tsundere angry a little. She didn't like to be ignored, after all.
I quickly asked the headmistress to enter before Tristan could say anything. Then I called for Milea to make us tea as we went to the drawing room.
