"A Collection of Eiten-Style Teachings" Second Half

Um...is it okay to display the book openly like this? Maybe we should put up an "Adults Only" sign...?

N-nah, don't worry about it. It's totally wholesome, no matter how you look at it. (Cough, cough)

All right, you guys handle the sales. I'm gonna go to the beach and get some sea air.

Why don't you join me, Shielder? I'm pretty sure you don't wanna be here for what's about to happen.

W-well, if you think so... Is it okay if I leave, Senpai?

？！

Okay, if you insist.

...(Sigh). I can't believe we drew a book I can't even make myself look at...

And the fact that the art's all absurdly good just makes it worse... What the hell made us do that?

I'm gonna check up on Ibaraki. She still hasn't gotten out of bed after the shock of how the book turned out.

Khh... I wish I could stop you, but she did take this rather hard...

All right, I suppose this is not unlike when a general must lead her army from behind.

And as allies in this campaign, it falls to us to see it through to the end.

Besides, we have nothing to be ashamed of!

However it came to be, we still put everything we had into making this comic!

Isn't that right, Master!?

？！

!?

When I saw your name on the list of clubs and decided to drop by, I never imagined you'd have stooped so terribly, terribly low...

I should have known I couldn't trust anyone but my figurines... No, no, don't let this bring you down, Melt...

Remember, you're Giselle... You danced your heart and wallet out on the Wonder Stage just yesterday...

You didn't come here expecting to find wonderful, beautiful romance books...

All right, I feel a little better now. But can I just say one thing?

...Are you all crazy? Have you no shame at all!?

I can't argue with that, much as I wish I... Wait. Meltryllis, was it?

You're one to talk to us about shame! Just look at your outfit! Your navel is completely exposed!

？！

Bravo!!!

That's all I have to say. Well, that, and that it seems like I'll have plenty of books to spare when this is over.

Hahaha, books of what, you ask? Never you mind that. What happens at ServantFes, stays at ServantFes.

Anyway, I applaud you for not being afraid to get your hands dirty, so to speak, during this summer vacation!

Now then, I think I'll hit the beach and work up a good sweat!

Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable! What was management thinking!?

Lord Benkei! You are on ServantFes's staff. How can you stand there and let this...this filth be sold in public!?

I can see why you'd think that, but it doesn't actually break any rules. This book is...wholesome. Terrifyingly so.

I'm afraid all I can say is that censors are not what they used to be.

That can't possibly be right...! Excuse me, may I see that?

？！

Is that... Oh my... A temple, floating in the air...? What? Inside the precincts!? Eating sweet rice cakes...while standing under a waterfall...!?

(Huff, huff...)

I-it would seem you're right. It was a perfectly normal, unobjectionable look at a Buddhist priest's life...

"The art of Zen is the art of expanding one's mind. All you need do is let your body truly become a temple."

What a novel, yet convincing conclusion. Although... I wonder why my heart is pounding so rapidly?

Hey, you with the long face. You should buy a copy too. In fact, make that ten copies.

I-I cannot do that, Lord Ushiwakamaru! Not even for you!

Namu! Nympho, begone! I must go and purify myself in the nearest waterfall...!

Hm? I thought I sensed something unusually scandalous in the air here...

Where did this book come from? On second thought, don't answer that. Some sort of demon must have tricked you into this while you were sleeping.

Nonetheless, your dalliance with this demon may have passed, but the deity within me cannot let this stand.

I must burn all of these books before they can spread their harmful

Pardon me. I'll take a copy. What? You want me to show some ID?

Don't be an idiot. I'm a child. Why would I have ID?

(Reading the book without a care in the world) Oho. Ohoho.

Hahaha, I've never seen such absurd opinions delivered so shamelessly before, let alone from that sweet rice cake melon-head!

I've changed my mind. Make that three copies. Will three pence be enough?

Wh-what do you think you're doing!? We can't let this book get out into the world! You're an author too, right!? Surely you understand why!

What, you think this book is harmful or something? Don't be ridiculous!

This is nothing! Less than nothing, even! Why would you even try to regulate this sort of book now!?

Okay, listen. EVERY story has the potential to turn people's lives upside down, by virtue of speaking directly to our hearts.

Do you know what we call books that are filled only with facts and figures? Data.

And yes, when it comes to data, mistakes may be evil, but for stories? This is possibility itself. The wishes and dreams of those who worked to bring the story to life.

To censor that is to censor culture, and in turn, humankind itself. If you're going to call stories about men and women vulgarNo, wait. Scratch that.

As a goddess, if you truly wish to protect the people you watch over, then shouldn't you be able to handle this sort of "poison"?

O-okay! I have no idea what you're talking about, but your passion has moved me!

In that case, I'll take a copy too, for reference! It seems like it will come in use somehow...!

It won't be much longer until ServantFes comes to an end. Let's see how many copies we have left...

Hmm. While some fans had some extremely appreciative things to say...

...it does seem that it was just too dangerous to freely distribute here. What a shame...

It's actually a pretty insightful manga as long as you can keep your cool while you read it...

...but it isn't something we could have made on our own. Another power must've wormed its way into our workplace...

Perhaps this is our punishment for spending too much time exploring Luluhawa, and not enough polishing our skills...
