Volume 6 Chapter 7 Goddess Holy Church Seven Heaven Apostles' Order Of Love' Rapucel Dreadnought ① - Sculptor
Yato was crouching down, completely red.
She had been seen n*ked. Everything, all of it.
The person was Elk. It was one thing to be seen by someone of the same gender, but by a perfect member of the opposite s*x?
"~~~~~~..."
Her ears, face, nose, and eyes were all hot.
It was embarrassing. She felt like she could die from shame.
But... something was strange. Was Elk really the kind of person who would peek so boldly?
And when she thought about it, it was odd.
The door to the bath was a sliding door. But the door Elk opened was a regular swinging door. Plus, the view from Elk's room was not the changing room.
"......"
Yato calmed down.
This was an unusual situation.
The possible reason was───... an enemy attack.
Quickly switching her thoughts, Yato equipped her battle clothes and 'Sixfold Demon Sword' from her (Item Box) and (Weapon Box), and though her hair was wet, she tied it up casually.
"......Elk will get punished later."
She placed her hand on the sliding door of the changing room and forcefully pulled it open.

Galatine Royal Academy, Cathedral.
In the 'Prayer Room' where statues were supposed to be, Rapucel was alone.
Even though it was a cathedral, there were no statues to pray to. So, using her skill 'Sculptor' and its final evolution skill 'High Sculptor', Rapucel created a statue that looked just like Pipina from nothing. She placed it on a pedestal and offered a prayer.
"You are great at making things... umm, I'll give you a skill that's perfect for you! I know I shouldn't, but... well, just one person is fine, right?"
One word, one sentence, she can remember.
She wanted to be a sculptor. She wanted to make models. She wanted to create something in 'shape.' But... because she was a woman, she was mocked and ignored.
She cursed the god who made her a woman.
However, she continued to create works regardless of being a woman.
Gradually, she started to be recognized. There were even men who loved her for who she was.
And then, she created her greatest masterpiece, a model called 'Labyrinth.' It was a groundbreaking model that included complex dungeon-like mechanisms in a small design.
But───... it was easily taken away by the man she loved.
Even though she made the model, everyone believed it was the property of the 'man she loved.'
And then, she realized.
The 'man she loved' didn't love her. He loved her talent and made it his own.
Before she knew it, all her works were presented as the 'man she loved's.'
'Did you finally realize? What a pitiful woman. Well... I did like that talent of yours.'
She was easily discarded.
She must have been inconvenient to be alive. After being thrown away, she quickly lost her life to an assassin.
She───... Rapucel, died.
"Hey, hello!"
"...Huh?"
But when she woke up... she was in a beautiful temple.
Inside the temple, there were divine sculptures, paintings, models, and statues, and Rapucel was frozen, unable to move... She couldn't take her eyes off them.
"Oh, this? Well... I made it because I was bored."
The girl in front of her, the goddess Pipina, chuckled lightly.
It wasn't just talent. It was truly the work of a god.
"You are full of talent for creating things."
"Wh-what... Someone who creates such a divine work like this, someone like me?"
"Ah, I'm Pipina. Divine, or rather, a goddess."
"───...!"
She had no doubts at all.
A light began to shine in her cloudy heart.
Wrapped in Goddess Pipina's love, Rapucel's heart was being filled.
Tears flowed naturally.
She had never prayed to a god. But, Rapucel prayed.
In a way that felt so natural, like a maiden dedicated to a god, she prayed to Pipina.
"Don't you want to live?"
"...Yes."
"You are good at creating things... Hmm, I'll give you a skill that suits you perfectly! It's actually not allowed, but... well, just one person should be fine, right?"
Pipina's smile.
In her life, had she ever received such a bright smile?
She couldn't stop the tears.
Pipina's hand gently patted Rapucel's head.
"Irene, keep doing your best from now on."
"...Yes!!"
Irene.
Rapucel Dreadnought is her name as a sculptor.
But in this moment... Rapucel Dreadnought became the 'Order of Love,' loving Goddess Pipina and praying only to her.

Nickes put on pants and glasses.
Wearing a uniform, he thought about what just happened.
"Did Elk just open the room door... or was it just my imagination?"
He thought for a moment, then quickly stopped.
More importantly, breakfast.
Thinking that, he opened the room door.
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
When he opened the door, Merry was in her underwear, holding her uniform.
"B-Brother..."
"Hey, Merry? Why are you changing in the hallway? ...Wait, is this your room? What the heck is going on?"
"B-Brother, you idiot!!"
"Wait, hold on!! Gyaaaaaah!?"
Shocked by the electric shock, Nickes rolls around in his room.
Merry, holding a sword, glares at Nickes with anger. But Nickes quickly gets up... He has been hit by Merry's electric shocks since they were kids. His resistance is higher than an average person's.
Plus, Nickes likes girls, but he has no interest in his sister changing clothes.
"Wait, wait, wait!! This is weird!!"
"...What's weird? That I didn't think my brother was a pervert?"
"That's not it!! This is MY room!! That's YOUR room!!"
"...Huh?"
Merry finally calms down.
The boys' dorm and girls' dorm are in different locations. It's impossible for Merry to open Nickes' room door and enter her own room.
"What the heck is going on...?"
"It's definitely an emergency... Ah, wait!! Don't close the door. If I'm right, closing it and opening it again might lead to a different room."
"Is that your 'prediction'?"
"No, it's just a feeling. Besides, how would I know since I'm not trained for combat? More importantly, Merry, if you're changing, it should be into your combat uniform, not your school uniform. And if you have gear in your room, get it ready."
"Ah!"
Merry finally remembers she's in her underwear and rushes back to her room.
Nickes takes a deep breath.
"This feels bad. The Skill Department might be fine, but the Commerce Department hasn't had any combat training...!!"

Rapucel was in the 'Prayer Room.'
Around Rapucel, transparent 'chessboards' and several 'maps of Galatine Royal Academy' float in the air. Additionally, 'chess pieces' hover above, and Rapucel grabs a pawn and stamps it down on the chessboard, making a series of thumping sounds.
"'Phalanx'."
The chessboard and part of the academy map glow softly.
Rapucel smiles and silently gazes at the map.
Cheat skill, 'Brilliant Lapyrinthos: Love Labyrinth of God Trial'.
Originally, all the dungeons in this world were created and set up by Pipina.
Rapucel's cheat skill is dungeon creation.
In this case, she turned (Galatine Royal Academy) itself into a dungeon.
Rapucel spreads her arms wide and smiles gently.
"Now, people... I will test whether you are worthy of being God's apostle."
