Chapter 52: Sin and Punishment Witch? Justice Bishop?
Yuehua Fengyun slowly walked out of the station. Although as a 3rd Order, she could have flown back, she was escorting a highly dangerous witch. Herolise, bound by dozens of magic suppression devices and heavy iron chains, was surrounded by Punishment Nuns even at the station.
“Thank you for your assistance, Bishops. We’ll handle the escort and imprisonment from here.”
Ping Yue bowed slightly in thanks. Yuehua Fengyun simply nodded and headed towards the hall. Lin Jian, after glancing at the heavily restrained Herolise, also nodded and followed.
“Really, sharing a carriage with those researchers, I feel like my brain is going to melt…”
Yuehua Fengyun complained. If it weren’t for the risk of something going wrong and the need to accompany the escort, she wouldn’t have shared a carriage with Ping Yue. It was common knowledge that researchers were all a bit crazy.
“That nun is gone…”
“You mean Luo Yuxi’s sister? She said she was going to find her sister as soon as we got off the train. She could have just come with us to the Church and asked. Honestly…”
Yuehua Fengyun stretched her stiff shoulders, thinking Luo Yuxi should have arrived by now. She and Lin Jian walked side by side through the streets outside the Church, the surrounding nuns bowing respectfully.
“We should go find her…”
“Find who? Luo Yuxi? What danger could there be in the Church?”
“Mission, safety.”
Lin Jian’s expressionless reply made Yuehua Fengyun sigh. Talking to her was so tiring, always having to guess her meaning.
“Since we’re at the Church, they’ll assign a new bishop as her bodyguard. Don’t be so rigid, you’ll become unlovable~”
“Mission not complete…”
Lin Jian ran towards the Church. Yuehua Fengyun sighed, wondering why she was so serious. Suddenly, she realized something, recalling Lin Jian’s awkward interactions with Luo Yuxi.
“Could the Seat of Judgment be in love with Luo Yuxi…?”
But then she dismissed the idea. Lin Jian rarely showed any emotion, always focused on her missions, even throwing away love letters from cute nuns. How could someone like that fall in love?
“I must be overthinking things. I wonder what Luo Yuxi is doing in Apal…”
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room, Luo Yuxi dropped her teacup, staring at the scene before her in shock. She had planned to torment Ann until she lost her mind, but things had clearly gotten out of control.
“More, more, please, Master, Ann is willing to offer you everything~”
“I think I went too far…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the loli before her, her cute face now flushed and unnatural, a crazed look in her eyes. Her light blue twintails had turned pitch black, and the whites of her eyes were now also black, her white pupils unsettling.
“I should run now. I tortured a 3rd Order powerhouse into this state. And why did she change colors?”
Luo Yuxi looked around the room, filled with black magic power swirling around Ann, who was suspended in midair by ropes, forming a cocoon.
[Ann]
Occupation: Bishop → Witch
Affiliation: Church (crossed out)
[Has become Luo Yuxi’s property.]
Skills: (Divine Arts) (Unique Magic)
Title: Sin and Punishment Witch, Seat of Justice, One of the 12 Bishops, Luo Yuxi’s Personal Belonging
Order Level: Pseudo-3rd Order (Due to loss of faith in the Goddess, she no longer receives divine favor and is just an empty shell of a 3rd Order.)
Affection: 100%
Fear Value: 100%
Obedience: 100%
[Due to someone’s inhumane training, the alternating pain and pleasure caused her to lose faith in the Goddess, lose her arrogance as a high-ranking individual, and fall into witchhood, her mind now shaped by said someone.]
“What the heck, I created a witch! And what’s with ‘Personal Belonging’? This is bad, I turned a bishop into a witch on Church territory!”
Luo Yuxi panicked. How could she explain this? Suddenly, the cocoon cracked, and a small, white foot emerged.
“Master Ann is an incompetent servant for interrupting Master’s punishment. Please punish Ann~”
Luo Yuxi looked at the little girl before her, her black twintails almost reaching the floor. Although her hair and eyes were slightly different, she still looked the same.
“How… did you become a witch…?”
Luo Yuxi, maintaining a calm facade while sipping her tea, was panicking internally. She had wanted to break Ann’s will, not turn her into a witch.
“I apologize, Master! Ann fell on her own, causing you inconvenience. You must have wanted to personally break Ann’s will and then slowly train her~”
Ann crawled on all fours, a look of unsatisfied desire in her eyes, completely different from her previous defiance. She looked like a fallen heroine from a doujinshi.
“Really, you know this would cause me trouble, yet you still became a witch on your own accord!”
“I’m very sorry, Master!”
Although Ann acted afraid, her expression seemed expectant. Luo Yuxi lifted her chin with her foot, looking at Ann’s expression with a headache.
“You know I’m very angry, right? So I’m going to punish you…”
“Ann will accept any punishment from Master. Please don’t pity Ann~”
“Hmph, I order you to put on your clothes and act as the Seat of Justice. Don’t let anyone notice anything amiss~”
“Eh?”
“What? Are you questioning my orders? And while I’m gone, you’re forbidden from using water magic on yourself. If I find out, I’ll chain your hands and lock you in the abstinence chamber for a week…”
“U-Understood…”
Ann stood up dejectedly, looking at the other toys in the room. She had expected another round of “education,” but it was just a trivial task. Luo Yuxi calmly sipped her tea, watching Ann get dressed and leave. She finally relaxed.
“That was close. A bishop turning into a witch, what the heck?!”
Although the game’s backstory mentioned high-ranking individuals falling into witchhood, Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected to witness it firsthand. She sighed, but at least Ann didn’t resent her after becoming a witch, she seemed to have genuinely become her slave.
“This way, I’m invincible…”
Ann, leaving the shop, looked at her reflection in a window. She didn’t look like a bishop at all, more like a demon. She punched the wall, leaving a dent.
“Damn it, why did I fall?! I, the Seat of Justice, have fallen!”
She glared at the shop, then a crazed look appeared on her face. She leaned against the wall, her legs rubbing together, as if suppressing something.
“If I hadn’t fallen, I could still be receiving Master’s training. I want to be pressed down by Master, her delicate fingers guiding me~”
Ann regretted not the fact that she, a bishop, had fallen into witchhood because of an ordinary nun, but that she had fallen too easily, and now she had to beg for more.
“It would have been better if I hadn’t fallen…”
“Bishop, there you are!”
A nun ran towards Ann, seemingly with urgent news. Ann quickly composed herself, resuming her usual arrogant demeanor.
“Bishop, the Greed Witch, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, has been imprisoned in the Divine Punishment Prison beneath the Church. I’m here to inform you of the upcoming 12 bishops’ roundtable meeting…”
“That boring meeting? I’d rather deal with a few more witches. Fine, I’ll go.”
“Bishop, your hair and eyes…”
The nun looked at Ann’s black hair and eyes, the black sclera and white pupils unsettling. A black mist enveloped her.
“My eyes? I learned a new divine art, a blessing from the Goddess. As for my hair, I dyed it to match my eyes. What~? Doesn’t it look good~?”
“No, it’s just… you look different…”
“You’ll get used to it~”
Ann’s eyes glowed ominously. The nun, feeling like she was being stared at by a predator, quickly excused herself.
“Boring. Only Master can satisfy me, both mentally and physically~ I want to be stepped on and humiliated by Master~”
