She felt it would be fine to be a little late in taking back Estian since he had married already, and the best way to deal with the sorrowful heart of losing a man was being comforted by another, was it not? Besides, the saying goes that sharing sadness makes it easier to bear. It was a given then, that the more people there were to share it, the easier it would beco.

The saintess was practically dragged out of the hotel, enthusiastically seen out by the dealer, manager, and guards. The hotel staff embraced one another in the delight of returning alive from the edge of death as they disappeared back into the hotel. After raising the middle finger toward the hotel, the saintess began to move with plodding steps.
Why did I put a setting like that in She complained and bit her lips, aggrieved at being undone by her own designs. If she had known things would turn out like this, she would have instead put in a setting of vomiting money every ti she coughed, or maybe a setting of holy power enabling the creation of chunks of gold.
