Sins Paradise: Domination System

Chapter 157 157 – First Event Clue

?

Why would I leave Isabelle alone in the lodging while I was out to explore the city?

Because I wanted her to collect her thoughts before we went for our investigation for real.

What I currently did was just a pre-investigation to make sure I remembered correctly about the first event. There should be some clues in some places, and if there was something different due to my interference, I should be able to notice it if I visit those places.

Still…

"Are you sure you can hold my hand like this, Garcia?"

I turned to the side, looking at the perverted nun who pushed her large breasts against my arm. Due to her clothes covering only the front breast area and her side, my arm was buried between two soft mounds.

"It's okay, Sir Arthur! I used <Illusion Magic> to make us look normal, walking side by side."

"Then, that's fine."

"It is fine."

Because I got confirmation, I didn't really mind about it anymore. My hands were in my pockets, and I let Garcia do anything she wanted with my left arm. She looked happy, so I didn't say anything anymore.

More importantly, I was worried about something else. Since we arrived earlier, I felt like someone or something had been watching me, making me uncomfortable.

What made me uncomfortable was simple… For some reason, I couldn't detect that gaze, and it didn't even show up in my <Presence Detection> either.

'Anyone who is currently observing me has high level <Stealth>. At least he or she has Lv. 8 <Stealth> that my <Presence Detection> can't detect.'

It was also for that reason I let Isabelle stay behind. So if anything happened to one of us, the other one could rescue them.

'It's unsettling that I need to use this strategy to ensure our safety.'

Whoever was observing us could also use high-level <Clairvoyance> just like what Vivian did to peek at my night activity with Eliza. That was also a possibility that I couldn't throw away.

While I was strong, I wasn't omnipotent or omniscient. There were also things I didn't know and couldn't do.

Hence, I surrounded myself with those girls who could fill in my weakness. Just like Garcia. She could use her <Illusion Magic> to allow her to do something a nun couldn't do in the open, and that was seducing me.

Anyway, I had 3 places I needed to visit this afternoon. One of them was close to our lodging, and that was here…

"We've arrived at our first destination."

"Beach? Are we going to swim, Sir Arthur?"

Garcia stepped away from me and released my arms from her breasts. She looked around with her hands in front of her crotch, pushing her skirt down like a graceful girl.

"There are no people here…" She added, looking around the empty beach. After a while, she stopped and tilted her head, looking at me. "Why? I heard people love to go to the beach to enjoy the sea and swim?"

"Because it's a bit dangerous now," I replied, looking at the sea.

Yes, it was more dangerous than the report Sana received and showed me. Increment in monster activities? Might as well write it as the monsters were breeding quickly and overflowing the ocean.

The ships were fine as they were made from wood that most sea monsters hate, or so I heard, and they had many people ready to fight the monster.

But people on the beach wouldn't be safe if the monster suddenly jumped at them, especially when they were under-prepared and were only in their swimsuits or bikinis without holding any weapons.

Even now, my radar was filled with red dots coming from the sea. My <Presence Detection> was by no means small, and I could even see Isabelle's green dot in it. However…

"That's a lot of monsters."

The number of monsters in the sea was almost twice or thrice the usual number of monsters in Horizon Online's dungeon. That was saying much because each dungeon had around 500 to 1000 monsters.

"And it's only around the shore."

"…"

Garcia didn't say anything and only gazed at the sea. It was because she couldn't understand what I was talking about. Then she leaned slightly toward me with a smile.

"Sir Arthur… You can defeat all those monsters, right?"

"I can." I nodded with confidence. "But that's not my job. Let's move."

"Yes!"

Judging from the number of monsters near the shore, I assumed the opening for the first event had already begun for at least 3 days.

The reason for it was… the change in the environment in the world.

The first event was to prepare the protagonist, making him stronger. Strength was necessary for future events, and the game purposely dragged weaker monsters to the shore so the protagonist could kill them and Level up.

Beatrice could help the protagonist Level up faster. But that would destroy the game's balance. And besides… that slut didn't even care for the protagonist to begin with and only used him for her own goal.

I stopped her, and she became my slave. One troublesome opponent with nothing I knew about was taken care of rather easily. That, however, wouldn't change the future events as they had nothing to do with Beatrice.

"Let's go to the second place."

I walked away from the beach with Garcia walking beside me. This time, our destination was in the city. To be precise, the fish market.

It was located around the port on the outskirts, where many sailors and fishermen hung around and sold their catch.

We arrived after walking for 5 minutes.

"Port? The smell here is… quite fishy." Garcia commented as she held her nose. "I am sorry, Sir Arthur. But the smell is too much for me."

I thought that was strange.

Garcia didn't really mind or complain when I covered her whole face and body with my semen, she rather enjoyed it, but she complained about a fishy smell from the port.

I knew I shouldn't compare the two of them, but that was a bit funny I couldn't help it.

"You can return to the lodging if you want to. The last place I wanted to visit doesn't exactly have the best smell." I offered.

"I won't." She shook her head. "I said I would attend to you, so… This smell is nothing. I can manage!"

"Alright then. The port is full of people trying to buy fish, so follow me closely."

I extended my hand toward Garcia, and she took it happily. We passed crowds easily as people who saw me made ways one way or another.

They took a glance at my clothes and then at Garcia's nun costume before doing that. Knowing we got this kind of treatment, I was glad to be a part of the church. But they probably mistook me as some kind of noble and just didn't want to get into a mess by getting close to me.

"Sir Arthur, what are we searching for in this place?"

Garcia asked as we kept walking along the port, close to the stores where they sold varieties of fish and sea products.

My eyes, however, were running around to the vendors instead of what they sold.

"We're searching for people," I replied.

"People, is it? What kind of people are they?"

"Bad kind of people," I smirked, smiling playfully at Garcia. "People who will avoid someone like us."

While I remembered the main content of the first event, I didn't know what had happened before that. The only thing I remembered was… Some people, a group, were responsible for the strange monster activities.

And to find those people, this port where sailors and fishermen gathered was the perfect place. Due to the nature of their jobs, they had to be here. No, they should be here if my memories of Sins Paradise served me correctly.

I needed information to proceed with what I had planned ahead. This event was also my chance to cure Isabelle's trauma if I did it right. That was my main priority.

Finding the truth from her would be a chore, as if I couldn't cure her trauma.

Finding the people I was searching for didn't take a long time. We entered the ship docking area, walked past the fish market, and that was when I saw one of the people I was searching for.

"Found them."
