NOVEL NEXT chapter 226
Chapter 226. Clotilde: Black Stockinged Miniskirt Teacher? Who? Me? (7)
As an eroge, the biggest selling point is of course the various plays with the heroine herself.
And for isekai adventure types, defeat plays generally take up a large proportion.
Pure love or other stuff are the minority.
But whether it’s a defeat play or a pure love play, whether the heroine’s image can change, whether she can bring a different experience to the player, is one of the keys to whether a game can sell well.
Certainly there are games without a changing system, but presumably most eroge still have it.
At least the heroines of these two eroges that Noah is currently touching have different outfits in the original works.
After all, both a princess and a nun are special occupations that anyone can recognize at a glance.
Sometimes, in order to push the plot forward, they will automatically change outfits in the main story.
The Princess has not gone around the entire kingdom as per the original story, so there is no need to change clothes at this time.
But the nun on this side still has to change.
Even according to the original content, there are more than a dozen different outfits that the nun can change into.
The most common and ordinary attire is naturally the battle nun’s habit.
But there are also many different styles of outfits such as swimsuits, ordinary nun’s habits, magically modified nun’s habits, bunny girl suits, brothel worker’s harlot’s clothes, dancer’s clothes, SM clothes, tentacle suits and so on.
You gotta understand, in the original, even when she was thinking straight, the nun wouldn’t be running around in a habit that screamed “nun” just to relieve the l*st/curse.
The nun outfit play was actually a rare thing in the original, only triggered in the church, or in the heat of a field battle.
Players could control the nun character as she was, dressing her up in different outfits, and go hunt for ‘prey’ in various cities, stealing their magic power to level up.
Or, she could just go grind dungeons in different costumes. The main goal was always leveling up.
But now, thanks to Noah’s interference, the nun is stuck wearing her habit all the time.
While this makes her more mindful of her role as a nun, accelerating her fall through guilt,
it also locks her into that identity. She can’t seem to break free from the “nun” label.
Sometimes, loosening the grip on asceticism is actually the better choice.
So, before setting out this time, Noah deliberately took her into his office, letting her shed the restrictive, modest nun habit for a different outfit.
“Mr. Noah… isn’t this skirt a little too short?”
Clotilde stood before Noah, already changed into the clothes he’d picked out for her.
She seemed very self-conscious about the length of her skirt, a slight frown furrowing her brow as she pulled at the hem.
It was understandable, since her current attire bore no resemblance to a nun’s.
Her upper body was encased in a tight white shirt that emphasized her perfect figure, while below, she wore sheer black pantyhose that subtly hinted at the flesh beneath. Connecting the two was a form-fitting pencil skirt typical of a professional woman, accentuating the curves of her hips.
To complete the look, she wore black high heels with red soles. All in all, Clotilde now looked like a mature office lady. In a real-world game setting, she’d easily be a s*xy female executive in charge.
“Short? Where’s it short? It’s been this length for years, don’t make stuff up. Maybe look at yourself for once, you’ve been wearing those practically floor-length nun habits for so long that any other skirt would feel short.”
While Clotilde found it short, Noah didn’t think it was short enough. A pencil skirt was supposed to hug the hips; Clotilde’s skirt actually extended a bit down her thighs.
“I-Is that so? I apologize, Mr. Noah, I’ve never seen anyone dressed like this, so I didn’t know.”
Clotilde had initially wanted to reprimand Noah for making her wear a skirt that was too short, that didn’t align with the conservative teachings of the goddess.
But she was overwhelmed by Noah’s strange presence, and subconsciously clasped her hands in front of her, apologizing sheepishly.
“No need to apologize, just put these on.”
Noah didn’t care much about that. He just handed her a pair of non-prescription glasses he’d prepared beforehand.
“Huh? Glasses?”
Clotilde looked at the black-rimmed glasses in her hands, blinking her large, bewildered eyes. She couldn’t grasp why Noah would want her to wear them.
“Just put them on, it’ll be fine. Actually, here, let me help.”
Noah ignored her confusion and somewhat forcefully put the glasses on for her.
The nun, experiencing wearing glasses for the first time, instinctively tried to avoid him, but Noah was quick and managed to place them on her face.
Now that they were on, there was no going back. Clotilde quickly adjusted the frames, then looked at Noah’s face through the lenses, a puzzled expression on her face.
What on earth was Mr. Noah planning?
And how come she’d never seen anyone wearing clothes like these before?
Is this outfit *really* proper?
“You wouldn’t have seen it before, because this is actually the formal attire of a high-ranking private governess hired by wealthy noble families. Now then, from this moment on, Sister…no, Clotilde, you are a serious, strict, and highly learned young teacher. Remember, don’t let anyone see your nun identity.”
Noah took a look at the Sister at this moment. Hmm, other than her expression being a bit too gentle, giving off a feeling of unreliability, her attire was very close to the governess that appeared in the film.
“A governess? Me?”
Clotilde was surprised and took another look at her outfit.
It really was her first time learning that private governesses for noble families dressed like this.
She had been a teacher before, but while wearing a nun’s habit, lecturing young children at the seminary.
This kind of clothing was completely new to her.
I see, so that means that the place we’re going must be a noble’s home.
Even though she didn’t have the experience, she was willing to do her best. This was also for eliminating heretics!
Thinking of this, a harshness and forcefulness that a governess would have when she first appeared did appear in Clotilde’s eyes.
Originally, Clotilde, with her figure and age, already had the vibe of a mature older sister, but after putting on this professional outfit, she looked even more s*xy and mature.
“I understand, Mr. Noah, I will definitely play the governess role well…Ouch! Mr. Noah, why did you suddenly hit me?”
But what Clotilde couldn’t understand was that just when she had mustered the resolve to seriously get into character, Noah had directly taken out a riding crop from who-knows-where and quickly tapped her on the head.
This made her rub her head while looking at Noah in bewilderment, not knowing why Noah had suddenly struck her.
“Hands, hands. A governess from high society wouldn’t keep her hands folded in front of her all the time. If you have nowhere to put one hand, you can put it on your hip, and you can touch the edge of your glasses with the other. Your movements instantly reveal that you’re a nun, you know?”
Noah held the small black riding crop, and acted like a headmaster managing the teachers, pointing and instructing Clotilde with an arrogant expression.
…Even though it was true, hitting people directly was too much! Mr. Noah, you’d better remember this. When you make a mistake, I’ll be sure to hit you with that riding crop too. Humph, I wonder if hitting your butt would be appropriate~
Maybe because she had taken off her nun’s habit, as if she had broken some kind of seal, Clotilde’s mentality wasn’t as conservative as when she was wearing her nun’s habit, and was actually closer to her original personality.
Towards the arrogant priest who was lecturing her on how to play the governess, a glint of cunning flashed in Clotilde’s eyes.
Noah better not fall into her hands.
Otherwise she was definitely going to let Noah experience the might of a ‘governess’!

PS. Today’s fifth update, please check your inbox, dear readers. And please continue to collect monthly passes until the end of the month.
(Originally it was scheduled to be at the end of May, within the next 10 chapters or so, that the Sister would fall, but now it seems I’m not so sure. After all, there were many more chapters than expected on the Princess’s side of the story. Anyway I’ll try my best. After the Sister falls, she will become a believer of Noah, this evil god, a cleric of course. Her race would be a succubus queen.)
