[Priestesses Who Don't Need Payment!!]
Arata's sales pitch was like a demon's temptation, instantly grasping Enmusubi's deepest desire.
Without giving it any thought, she decisively stepped forward and grabbed Kasumi's hands at her sides, as if afraid this stroke of luck that had come to her door would run away.
