Chapter 23: (Danger)

Luo Yuxi looked at Sybil’s mischievous expression, sensing something ominous. She gently pushed Sybil away. After all, Natalie was lying right there. What if Sybil suddenly awakened her “hidden desires” and decided to “ravage” Luo Yuxi right in front of her sister?

“Move aside! I don’t want to be misunderstood!”

Sybil, hearing the slight disgust in Luo Yuxi’s voice, withdrew her hand, feeling a pang of disappointment.

“I understand, I wasn’t going to do anything to you~ Since you’re so resistant, I won’t~”

Sybil stepped back, looked at Natalie lying on the bed, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. Then, she sat down on a chair, relieved. Luo Yuxi looked at Natalie.

“Don’t you have anything you want to ask me…?”

Sybil’s voice interrupted Luo Yuxi’s thoughts. Sybil had been prepared for Luo Yuxi to question her identity, but not only did she not ask anything, she kept staring at Natalie. Sybil felt a strange discomfort.

“Ask you? What is there to ask?”

Sybil felt a surge of anger. Luo Yuxi’s words were like saying, “Your affairs are none of my business.” She couldn’t maintain her composure any longer.

“Like I said, how can you know my identity and remain so calm? Shouldn’t you be more surprised?”

“Wow, so amazing, so amazing~ Is that enough?”

Luo Yuxi wondered what Sybil was getting at. If she hadn’t learned about Sybil’s true identity on the magic train, she would indeed be surprised. But since she was already prepared, she wasn’t going to play along.

“You!! That’s so perfunctory!”

Sybil, angered by Luo Yuxi’s indifferent attitude, stood up and stomped her feet before sitting back down. She had planned to reveal her identity now, letting Luo Yuxi experience the shock, and then, seeing her awestruck expression, lure her back to her room and have her way with her.

“Is it morning already…?”

As Sybil was fantasizing, Natalie slowly opened her eyes. Her weakened body prevented her from sitting up. Sybil rushed to her side and held her hand.

“Thank goodness, you’re finally awake! It’s alright now, Sister Tally, the curse is lifted, your life force is no longer draining!”

Natalie gently reached out and caressed Sybil’s worried face. She had only gone to gather alchemy ingredients, but she was attacked by a high-ranking monster and struck with a powerful curse that drained her life force.

“Thank you so much, Sybil. You must have been worried while I was unconscious~”

“As long as you’re awake, that’s all that matters…”

Looking at Natalie’s forced smile, Luo Yuxi felt something was off. Her gentle demeanor didn’t match the cunning and cruel Fallen Witch in her memory. And even though she was exhausted, she still comforted Sybil. How could such a kind person become a witch?

“You must be the one who saved me…”

Natalie’s voice interrupted Luo Yuxi’s thoughts. She gave Luo Yuxi a grateful smile, and Luo Yuxi replied that it was her duty.

“I’m a nun of the Church. Helping others is my job. The curse has just been lifted, and you haven’t recovered yet. You should rest for a while.”

“Really? But I want to look at my savior a little longer. But this is probably my limit…”

Natalie closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep. Under the curse, she had been in constant pain, unable to even sleep.

“Now that your sister is stable, she should be able to move around after a few days of rest.”

“Luo Yuxi, you’re truly my lucky star! I only hoped you could delay the curse, but you actually cured my sister~”

Luo Yuxi smiled at the happy Sybil and opened the door, saying she wanted to go for a walk. Sybil, still worried about Natalie, decided to stay and gave Luo Yuxi a bag of coins, telling her to enjoy herself.

“You can use continental currency within the Elven Forest. Bartering is also possible, but coins are more convenient. Consider it payment for your services~”

“Since you insist, I won’t be polite.”

Luo Yuxi took the coins and left the treehouse. Standing on the platform, she looked down at the crowd of elven girls.

“Finally, I can explore freely, hehe~ Where should I start~?”

As she was pondering, the familiar panel appeared, displaying a rough outline of the Elven Forest. Only the area around her was labeled; the rest was shrouded in black fog.

“So this thing can also display a map? A fog of war? Just like in the game?”

Luo Yuxi wondered why something from a book’s magic circle was connected to the game. She walked down from the treehouse, looking at the elven girls passing by, their beautiful eyes and pointed ears, slightly flushed, looking incredibly alluring.

“This is truly paradise~ Now, where is that brothel from the game~?”

She swiped through the panel, trying to find the location on the map. After confirming the general direction, she headed towards the brothel. But she didn’t notice that every elven girl she passed by turned to look at her.

“Was that a human? Her pink hair is so pretty~”

“I think I just smelled the scent of honey~”

“Her legs in those stockings are so tempting~”

…

Chapter 22: The Fallen Witch

Luo Yuxi didn’t know how to react, but thankfully, the awkward atmosphere didn’t last long. The Tear of Mana in her hand began to glow faintly, and she realized they were passing through the Elven Forest’s barrier.

“We’re here…”

Sybil looked up, as if sensing something. Luo Yuxi slowly got out of the carriage. The previously dense jungle was now filled with elven girls in emerald green clothing, and every tree had a beautifully decorated treehouse.

“So this is what it looks like inside the barrier…”

Sybil also got out of the carriage. Although she was still wearing her adventurer’s clothes, the surrounding elven girls placed their left hand on their right shoulder and bowed slightly.

“Greetings, Your Imperial Highness…”

The sudden, synchronized greeting startled Luo Yuxi. Surrounded by lovely elven girls, she was momentarily stunned. This is the most popular map, after all. Dressed in her black and white nun’s habit, she stood out among the emerald and gold elves.

“Wow! It’s really Her Imperial Highness!”

“Your Highness, the girl beside you is so beautiful!”

“She looks human. I’d love to discuss the philosophy of life with her~”

“Her skin looks so smooth, I want to lick it~”

…

Luo Yuxi faintly heard the surrounding whispers and finally understood what the shopkeeper had meant. Feeling the blatant stares, she realized she had underestimated the elves’ lechery.

“Right… right, the veil…”

Remembering her purchase, she quickly took out the veil and put it on. But it was only one piece, and even with it on, it only added a hazy beauty, not reducing the attention. Instead, under the guise of greeting the princess, the elves began to touch her.

“Hey, who’s touching my butt?!”

Luo Yuxi felt more and more hands taking advantage of her as the crowd pressed closer. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist. She looked and saw Sybil pulling her into a protective embrace.

“Come with me…”

“Okay…”

These simple words gave Luo Yuxi a sense of security. Even Sybil, whom she had previously considered a ditzy elf, now seemed beautiful and strong.

“Sybil… is actually quite nice…”

As soon as the thought appeared, Luo Yuxi shook her head, trying to dispel it. She felt a deep sense of fear. As a self-proclaimed strong “top,” how could she have such weak thoughts? She would be laughed at.

“I… I can walk by myself, you don’t have to…!”

“We’re here.”

Sybil interrupted her. They arrived not at a luxurious palace, but a simple treehouse. Sybil opened the door, and Luo Yuxi followed her inside.

“Aren’t we going to see your sister? Why are we here?”

“The one lying on the bed is my sister, Natalie…”

The name sounded familiar. Luo Yuxi looked in the direction Sybil pointed and was shocked. The elven girl lying on the bed, her face contorted in pain, was Natalie, the rare Mythical Species witch from the game, the traitor of the elves, the Fallen Witch.

“What’s going on?! Natalie isn’t supposed to appear until later! And Natalie’s character profile didn’t mention any siblings!”

Luo Yuxi realized that Sybil had smooth, golden hair, while Natalie’s lifeless gray hair was distinctly different.

“Sybil… is she really your sister?”

Luo Yuxi asked tentatively. This was another plot point not mentioned in the game’s backstory. She wanted to ask more details and take notes. The more information she had, the better prepared she would be. Sybil didn’t seem to want to hide anything.

“Natalie is my childhood friend. Although we never said it aloud, I’ve always considered her my sister…”

Sybil walked to the bedside and gently stroked Natalie’s forehead. Luo Yuxi thought, There must be more to their story. She reached out and used her meager power to try and dispel the curse within Natalie.

“There’s no witch’s power inside her… Natalie hasn’t awakened yet? In that case, I should be able to handle a curse of this level…”

Luo Yuxi increased her efforts. She had initially worried she wouldn’t be able to delay the curse. She was just a level 11 weakling. If even Sybil couldn’t do anything, how could she?

“What the heck, I thought it was something serious. No need to find a high-ranking member of the Church, I can handle this level~”

As she spoke, she extracted a strand of black energy from Natalie’s body. Natalie’s pained expression eased. Sybil hadn’t expected Luo Yuxi to heal Natalie so easily.

“You know Advanced Blessing?”

“Advanced what?”

Luo Yuxi, seeing Sybil’s excitement, didn’t understand. She had just healed a minor problem. She didn’t know that Advanced Blessing was a skill only 6th Order or higher priests could learn.

“Ahem, I must have been blessed by the Goddess…”

Luo Yuxi decided to keep her cards close to her chest. She had planned to come back tomorrow after preparing, but now that the problem was solved, Sybil reverted to her touchy-feely self.

“You’ve healed my sister, I have to thank you properly~”

“It was nothing, just a small effort…”

“I’m a princess, after all, so I can fulfill some small requests~”

“Oh, don’t be so polite, I told you it was just a small effort…”

Luo Yuxi thought she would just continue with the polite banter and then have Sybil take her to the elven treasury. The elven treasury held many treasures, including life-saving items she had obtained while controlling the protagonist in the game.

“Really? It seems I still don’t know you well enough. I don’t even know what you like~”

Sybil approached slowly. Luo Yuxi didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but within a few steps, she was cornered. Sybil’s smile faded as she leaned close and whispered in Luo Yuxi’s ear,

“But you didn’t seem surprised when they called me ‘Your Imperial Highness’ earlier~”

“?????”

Chapter 21: A Big Shot Beside Me

Luo Yuxi, carrying her luggage, ran towards the magic train station. Although it was just a border town, the magic station served as a connection to other races and had a main line. Despite being in the city center, it was still quite a distance away.

“I can’t… I can’t run anymore…”

Luo Yuxi leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. Although the mysterious panel claimed she was 11th Order, her physical abilities hadn’t improved noticeably.

“The next magic train is about to leave. If I miss it, I’ll have to wait another half day…”

“But I really can’t run anymore, and I have all this luggage. What if…”

Sybil didn’t give Luo Yuxi a chance to finish. She simply hoisted her onto her back, carrying Luo Yuxi’s suitcase with one hand. For the first time, Luo Yuxi truly understood the meaning of “free as the wind.”

“I’m sorry, I’m just really in a hurry…”

Sybil, sitting on the train, looked at Luo Yuxi, whose face was pale and who was leaning weakly against the seat, completely exhausted.

“I-It’s okay, I can handle this much…”

Luo Yuxi drank some water with a pained expression. After casting a healing spell on herself, she slowly recovered. She had thought Sybil was just a pretty but ditzy elf, but that burst of speed was beyond normal.

“Al… Although you’re really beautiful, staring at me like that makes me a little embarrassed…”

Hearing Sybil’s words, Luo Yuxi snapped back to reality, realizing her gaze had been too direct. But it was a good thing. Sybil’s words eased the tense atmosphere. Just then, the familiar panel appeared.

[Sybil]

Occupation: Elf Ranger
Affiliation: Elven Forest [Mythical Species]
Skills: ???
Title: Elven Princess
Affection: 74%
Order Level: 6th Order

Luo Yuxi, who had been about to tease Sybil, froze upon seeing the panel. Sybil, noticing her stiff smile, wondered if she was feeling unwell and was about to ask when Luo Yuxi suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“!!!”

Sybil blushed, thinking, Could it be that Luo Yuxi has finally come around? She felt a thrill of excitement.

“Is this the forced love from those human novels?! No! No, Sister is in danger! How can I…? But if Luo Yuxi insists, I probably can’t refuse~”

Luo Yuxi, oblivious to Sybil’s inner turmoil, had only grabbed her wrist out of reflex. She was in a state of panic.

“Why do I keep running into big shots on a simple business trip?! This idiot elf is actually an elven princess! I even shut her out before! Damn it, why did I grab her hand?!”

Luo Yuxi maintained a calm facade, but inside, she was freaking out. Not just because of Sybil’s identity as an elven princess, but also because of her 6th Order level. Luo Yuxi, a mere 11th Order, felt utterly powerless.

“W-Well… what… what is your… status in the Elven Forest…?”

Luo Yuxi had wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, but after some internal debate, she decided not to act rashly. Sybil hadn’t confirmed her identity yet. If Luo Yuxi blurted it out, who knew what would happen?

“What? You know my true identity? You must be an assassin sent from somewhere else! In that case, let me properly te— No, interrogate you!”

Luo Yuxi shuddered at the thought. Sybil hadn’t shown any signs of being a princess before. Now, Luo Yuxi was going to her territory. A few beatings would be fine, but getting pregnant with an elf child would be troublesome.

“No, no, I should just find an excuse to run away…”

As an 18+ yuri game, how could it achieve such popularity just with suggestive scenes? It was the incredibly kinky gameplay and famous scenes that made it so popular. Luo Yuxi still remembered the CG where the protagonist was “bred” until her belly was round like a watermelon.

“If I jump off this train, I’ll just die. I can be resurrected anyway…”

In the game, elves weren’t just beautiful, they were basically all fertile. The Elven Tree bore a fruit called the Fruit of Life. As long as you consumed the Fruit of Life and then engaged in “study sessions” with your loved one, new life would be created.

“I thought the protagonist’s watermelon belly and the V-sign with her hands were super hot back then. What was I thinking…?”

Luo Yuxi looked at Sybil with a complicated expression. To her surprise, Sybil was also stealing glances at her. Their eyes met. Unlike Luo Yuxi’s fear, Sybil’s eyes were filled with longing for the future, even having thought of baby names.

“Holding hands, falling in love, exchanging vows of love, then studying together in a room. What should we name our first child~?”

Thus, the two, with completely different thoughts, remained silent throughout the journey. Despite being in a private compartment, the atmosphere was eerily quiet, until the train finally arrived at the station.

“It seems we’re here…”

“We’re here…”

Sybil shook her head, dispelling her fantasies. The priority was to heal her sister. She hailed a carriage. The Elven Forest was too far, even the magic train couldn’t reach it directly.

“Hurry up, we have to go! Every second counts!”

“Oh! Okay!”

Luo Yuxi snapped out of her own thoughts. This was the main mission. If she could keep Sybil’s sister alive until the Church’s reinforcements arrived, she might be spared.

“Even if there’s no chance, they should let me off the hook for trying my best, right…?”

The two boarded the carriage and hurried towards the forest, afraid of wasting any time.

Chapter 20: Acting Early

Luo Yuxi was about to return to the church when, just as she left the elf shop, she heard a series of escalating moans from inside. She couldn’t help but sigh, surprised that a human girl and a Mythical Species were so… open about it.

“Ah, youth is truly wonderful…”

“Miss Luo~ What a coincidence~?”

“Hmm?”

Just as Luo Yuxi was about to head back, a familiar voice called out from behind. She turned and saw a somewhat familiar girl with long, raven-black hair that gave her a refreshing aura. Her face looked a little pale.

“Are you… Isabelle?”

“That’s wonderful! It’s been so long, and that look you just gave me, like I was a stranger, really scared me~”

Isabelle approached slowly. Luo Yuxi recalled their first meeting, when she had just arrived in this world and been unexpectedly confessed to. She had almost thoughtlessly agreed.

“So, Isabelle, what’s the matter? If it’s about the same thing as last time…”

Luo Yuxi assumed Isabelle wanted an answer to her previous confession. But Luo Yuxi had other things to worry about. If Isabelle found out that she not only hadn’t accepted her confession but also had a complicated relationship with her sister Alice, who knew what this high-level NPC would do to her.

“I still can’t let you go~”

After saying this cryptic line, Isabelle pushed open the door to the elf shop and walked in. Luo Yuxi wanted to stop her, but hesitated and lowered her hand, confused by Isabelle’s words. She hadn’t heard the second part of Isabelle’s sentence, muttered under her breath after she had turned around, a crazed smile on her face:

“…because my sister should be interested in you too~”

Luo Yuxi returned to the church. Opening the door, she found both Ling Shuang and Isaiah gone.

“Did they both go shopping?”

She went upstairs and was about to enter her bedroom when she heard strange noises coming from Ling Shuang’s room. She realized where they were.

“Really, what’s the matter? Why hide in the room to talk?”

Luo Yuxi curiously walked towards Ling Shuang’s room and was about to knock when she heard Isaiah’s moans. Her hand froze in midair.

“No… Please, don’t~”

“Really, with those two big orbs, aren’t you tired? And your collar is so low! Are you trying to seduce my sister?!”

“But this is the maid outfit you gave me!”

“So you dare talk back! I’ll teach you to dress so lewdly! I’ll teach you to seduce my sister!”

“No~”

Hearing Isaiah’s pleas, Luo Yuxi quickly opened the door and saw Ling Shuang straddling Isaiah, kneading her breasts relentlessly. Isaiah, breathless from Ling Shuang’s skilled hands, saw Luo Yuxi and tried to call for help, but Ling Shuang pressed a finger against her tongue, silencing her.

“Oh, Sister, you’re back~”

“Wha… what are you doing…?”

Luo Yuxi panicked. She shouldn’t have barged in. She was no match for Ling Shuang in terms of strength. She usually relied on her “older sister” status to keep Ling Shuang in check, but if Ling Shuang was even slightly displeased, Luo Yuxi would be the one crawling into bed.

“As you can see, I’m playing a fun little game with Isaiah~”

Ling Shuang said with a smile, but her eyes were cold. A snow wolf that had tasted fresh meat wouldn’t be satisfied with just licking the skin. Luo Yuxi was clearly the delicious fresh meat. The forced abstinence of the past few days had left Ling Shuang frustrated. She ignored Isaiah’s pleading gaze and lowered her head.

“I… I understand. You two continue playing, I have something to do, so I won’t disturb you…”

Luo Yuxi quickly closed the door and fled, leaving Isaiah alone with Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang, recalling the soft feeling in her hands, thought, Similar softness, shouldn’t be too different, right?

“Really, Sister Yuxi runs so fast. I wanted to discuss some study topics with her…”

“It’s already this late, I’ll go clean up!”

Isaiah turned and ran towards the door, but before she could take a few steps, her wrist was grabbed. The little girl in front of her, much shorter than Isaiah, looked like a little devil.

“This is a trainee nun’s outfit, and this…”

With Luo Yuxi about to leave for the Elven Forest, Ling Shuang, unable to bear the loneliness, threw a nun’s habit at Isaiah, along with a picture of Luo Yuxi’s face, which she stuck onto Isaiah’s.

“You’ll be my toy for the next few days. If I’m happy, I might let you go~”

Ling Shuang stroked Isaiah’s stocking-clad legs. After a while, she noticed that Isaiah’s legs, toned from training, were completely different from Luo Yuxi’s soft, addictive legs.

“Tsk, just a substitute, that’s all you can be…”

Meanwhile, Luo Yuxi heard a knock at the door downstairs. Just as she was about to go inside to calm down, she had to go to the main hall instead. Although it was past prayer time, she opened the door and saw a breathless Sybil standing outside.

“What’s wrong?”

“Come with me now. I was going to come find you tomorrow, but something came up, there’s no time to explain!”

Sybil looked at Luo Yuxi anxiously. Although Luo Yuxi wanted to ask what happened, seeing Sybil’s urgency, she simply picked up her luggage and followed her to the magic car station.

“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“My sister was attacked by monsters in the Corrupted Lands and needs a nun with Advanced Blessing. But it takes a lot of time for the high-ranking members of the Church to process the request, so I brought you over first, hoping you can help!”

“The Corrupted Lands?!”

Chapter 19: The Strange Elf Shop

After a series of struggles, Luo Yuxi successfully dissuaded Ling Shuang from her plans to “play” her to exhaustion. She hadn’t expected that, in the end, she would have to barter with her body to secure her own living space.

“When I get back, you have to cuddle me in bed for three days!”

“Deal!”

Luo Yuxi thought, Just cuddling, nothing should happen. Besides, it was a problem for her future self. But Ling Shuang thought the same, Cuddling in bed? How could nothing happen?

“In that case, I wish Sister Yuxi a pleasant trip~”

Ling Shuang opened the bedroom door and saw Isaiah eavesdropping outside. Isaiah looked up stiffly, forcing a smile.

“You’re done…”

“Sister is going on a business trip to the Elven Forest. It’ll just be the two of us for the next few days…”

Ling Shuang smiled gently. In terms of strength, she wasn’t a match for Isaiah yet, but she held Isaiah’s secret.

“I! I really don’t know anything!”

“Come here! It seems I need to teach you some manners over the next few days…”

Ling Shuang grabbed Isaiah’s wrist and dragged her towards her room. Luo Yuxi walked out of her bedroom, watching the two holding hands, and couldn’t help but marvel at how close they had become.

“I wonder what else I need to bring to the Elven Forest…”

Luo Yuxi looked at her half-packed luggage. According to the backstory, before humans had the power to resist other races, the Mythical Species weren’t called that. Each tribe had its own territory, and they didn’t interact or interfere with each other. Then, the Church appeared, using its overwhelming power to break the delicate balance, forcing its way into other territories. “What? You won’t let me in? Then there must be a witch inside. I’ll beat you until you let me in.”

“Elves are beautiful, but they’re all scheming. I better prepare more, just in case I can’t get back…”

Luo Yuxi left the church, heading for an elf-run shop. Since this was a border town, trade between different races was frequent. She arrived at a shop and recognized the complex script on the sign as Elven.

“The developers of this game really had too much time on their hands, creating a unique language for each race…”

Luo Yuxi grumbled as she opened the shop door. She saw a human girl standing behind the counter and found it strange that a human was working in an elven shop.

“Hello, I’m going to the Elven Forest. What do I need to prepare…?”

“P-Please wait a moment, I’ll take… you… S-Sorry… there are some goods on the shelves over there, you can… take a look yourself…”

Luo Yuxi, who had just come to ask for advice, noticed the human girl’s trembling voice and realized something was wrong. The girl’s hands were shaking as she gripped the counter, as if she was enduring something.

“Are… are you alright? You seem to be trembling…”

“I… I’m fine, j-just… didn’t sleep well last night, so please don’t… mind!!!”

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl, confused. She seemed to have been electrocuted, her words stuttered and broken. Luo Yuxi was just trying to buy something, why was the girl acting so strangely?

“Well…”

“Oh my, we have a customer. Is there anything I can help you with~?”

“!!!”

Just as Luo Yuxi was about to ask about the girl’s condition, a blonde elven woman with striking eyes emerged from behind the counter. She calmly pulled out a piece of cloth and wiped her hands.

“I apologize for the wait. I spilled my water and made a mess~”

“????”

Looking at the elven woman putting on her glasses, Luo Yuxi finally understood. A human girl slumped over the counter, still recovering, and an elven woman using the excuse of a spilled drink. Luo Yuxi felt a shadow pass over her face, her heart pounding.

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand anything, I’m still a child!”

Although she was screaming internally, Luo Yuxi pretended to be oblivious. It was better to turn a blind eye to this kind of bold play.

“I was going to say, I’m going to the Elven Forest, what do I need to prepare…?”

“Oh, you’ve come to the right person. No one knows elves better than I do~”

“Uh… aren’t you an elf yourself?”

“Ahem, don’t mind the details~”

The elf examined Luo Yuxi from head to toe. Luo Yuxi, thinking she was being judged for her ability to pay, quickly said,

“I’m on a business trip, so the Church will cover my expenses…”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant. Normally, others don’t need to prepare much, but you, dear customer, need quite a few things~”

Luo Yuxi looked at the elf, confused. Why did she need more preparation than others? The elf walked around the human girl still slumped over the counter, the sound of water squishing under her shoes. Luo Yuxi couldn’t help but think, They’re really going at it.

“This is a veil to cover your face, this is perfume to mask your scent, and this is clothing to conceal your figure…”

“What… what are these strange items?”

Luo Yuxi looked at the items on the counter. Together, they formed a perfect infiltration kit. She was just going on a business trip. The elf, sensing her confusion, explained,

“Elves are obsessed with beauty. And because of the barrier, news of what happens inside rarely reaches the outside world. So if you go in like that~”

The elf clicked her tongue, thinking that Luo Yuxi’s figure and appearance were top-notch. If she hadn’t already found her “true love,” she might have fallen for her as well. She glanced at the human girl on the counter.

“What new games should we play today…?”

After hearing the elf’s advice, Luo Yuxi felt she was exaggerating to sell her goods, so she only bought a veil to cover her face. After all, the protagonist in the game was also depicted as delicate and easily “ridden,” and she could even trigger plot events at the elven brothel. So it shouldn’t be that dangerous.

“Hehe… I’m still going for the elven lolis~”

Chapter 18: The Invitation

Luo Yuxi sipped her tea, enjoying the peace, which was starkly contrasted by the insistent knocking at the door. Sybil had only meant to tease her with the wedding invitation, but it had backfired spectacularly.

“Sob… I was wrong, I was just joking… It’s my sister’s coming-of-age ceremony! I just wanted to invite a nun to give her blessings!”

“Hmm? You want me to bless your sister?”

Luo Yuxi, who had been ignoring Sybil, finally opened the door. Sybil, relieved, no longer dared to tease her and nodded vigorously, taking out a green gem brooch and placing it in Luo Yuxi’s hand.

“This is a Tear of Mana. The Elven Forest has a barrier, outsiders need this to enter…”

Luo Yuxi recognized the beautifully crafted brooch as a game item. She had sacrificed her… virtue… and been “milked” for two days by an elven witch just to obtain this item for the Elven Forest map. Now, it was in her hands so easily.

“You’re just giving this to me?”

“I’ve already submitted an application to your Central Church, and they’ve approved your travel request~”

“When did you apply for my travel request?”

“About two days ago. I was afraid it would be too late, so I took care of all the procedures in advance~”

Luo Yuxi was speechless. Why didn’t she need to be involved in the application process? It was as if Sybil was certain she would go. But she was indeed curious about the Elven Forest. In the game, it was filled with beautiful elves, each one a top-tier beauty. Perhaps she could even meet the Elf Queen, who never appeared in the game.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll go…”

“Then I’ll come pick you up in two days. Oh, I forgot to mention, one Tear of Mana only allows one person to pass, so your sister can’t go~”

“Is that so? That’s a shame. I wanted to take her on a trip. Ling Shuang will understand.”

Seeing Luo Yuxi agree, Sybil didn’t linger. She picked up her bag, resisting the urge to take further advantage of Luo Yuxi. She had a mission. She gave Luo Yuxi one last longing look before leaving the church.

“I didn’t expect to visit the Elven Forest so soon. I wonder what the Elf Queen looks like…”

In the game, the Elven Forest was one of the most popular maps, not only because of the beautiful elves but also because it was where the protagonist triggered the most bad ending CGs. There was even a commemorative CG and a very popular “orange-flavored” elven brothel.

“Thinking about it makes me excited. And Ling Shuang can’t come with me. I can finally experience the joy of transmigrating to another world~”

Luo Yuxi returned to her room and started packing. She wondered why the usually arrogant elves would invite her, but with a new map about to open, she didn’t care.

“I have to visit that elven brothel first~”

Then, she realized a problem. She was a nun. Could she really go to such a place? But then again, no one in the Elven Forest knew her. If she wore a mask, who would recognize her?

“Ordering a few elven lolis… sounds amazing~”

“Why not elven onee-san?”

“It’s different. If I did that, I might end up being the passive one…”

As soon as Luo Yuxi finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw Ling Shuang standing behind her with a gentle smile. Luo Yuxi, like a startled cat, quickly retreated to the corner.

“Ah! Ling Shuang, why are you so quiet?!”

“Am I? My footsteps are quite loud. You must still be immersed in your elven loli fantasies…”

Ling Shuang approached slowly, and Luo Yuxi felt a cold sweat running down her back. Although Ling Shuang still wore a gentle smile, an oppressive aura emanated from her.

“I didn’t expect Sister Yuxi to like the clingy and cute type. But why? Logically, I should be your type…”

“Wait, that’s not what I meant! This is just a normal business trip!”

Luo Yuxi saw the look in Ling Shuang’s eyes, like she was about to explode. But if she did, she would be discovered by Isaiah, who was cleaning downstairs. However, just as Ling Shuang was about to lose control, she suddenly stopped.

“If Sister is going on a business trip, then I’m going too!”

“But there’s only one gem to enter the Elven world, and my travel request has already been approved. Yours will take another week…”

“Tsk… in that case, there’s no other way…”

As Ling Shuang spoke, an unexpected development unfolded before Luo Yuxi’s shocked eyes. Ling Shuang removed her nun’s head covering and began to undress. Luo Yuxi instantly understood what she was planning and grabbed her clothes.

“Just talk, why are you taking off your clothes?!”

“I don’t care! I’m going to drain all your energy! That way, you won’t be looking for any elven lolis!”

“I was just joking, I’m not actually going to find any! Put your clothes back on!”

“Let go! How can I do it with my clothes on?!”

Ling Shuang was about to take off her nun’s habit, but Luo Yuxi desperately held on. If Ling Shuang was determined to have her way with her, she would be thoroughly “used.” She didn’t want to experience that leg-trembling weakness again.

“Why are you stopping me? I’m still young! Shouldn’t you like this type?!”

“Your words are getting more and more suggestive! And who ever heard of a loli pinning someone down?!”

As they argued, the door suddenly opened. Isaiah, in her maid outfit, stood there with a bucket, looking at the two wrestling on the bed in confusion. Their eyes met.

“I thought no one was here, so I came in to mop the floor. But it seems this isn’t a good time. Sorry to interrupt…”

Isaiah slowly closed the door, leaving Luo Yuxi and Ling Shuang on the bed. Luo Yuxi reacted instantly and tried to explain.

“Wait, it’s not what you think!”

“Where are you running? We’ve come this far, just give in!”

“No, wait a minute!!!”

Chapter 17: A Substitute Family

Alice returned to her family’s mansion. The maids, trembling, rushed to help her remove her outer garments. They knew their second miss’s temper, and they also knew her identity as a vampire.

“That was a rather unpleasant conversation…”

Alice muttered to herself. None of the maids dared to interrupt. She entered her room and pulled the covers off the bed, revealing a tightly bound Isabelle.

“Mmm!!!”

“Really, so noisy the moment I get back…”

Alice reached out and unfastened the restraints behind Isabelle’s head. Isabelle, relieved, spat out the gag, taking a deep breath of fresh air. Looking at Alice, her face lit up.

“Alice~ You’re back! But didn’t I tell you? It’s dangerous outside, don’t leave so easily!”

“So that’s the first thing you want to say to me…”

“You’re my family, I have to be responsible for your safety. I love you…!”

Isabelle struggled violently as she spoke, but the leather straps were too strong. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free, and her struggles only made her more uncomfortable.

“My dear sister, could you please release me first? Why did you tie me up like this?!”

“I find your current appearance quite pleasing to the eye. You’re quite cute when you can’t move…”

“No, I have to stop you! You can’t go to the church again! The Divine Punishment Army gathered there a few days ago!”

“You investigated me…”

Alice’s eyes turned crimson upon hearing Isabelle’s words. Isabelle realized she had misspoken and looked away.

“I… I did it for your own good. After all, you’re my sister, so I…”

Before Isabelle could finish, she felt her clothes being torn from her back, her bare shoulder exposed to Alice’s crimson eyes. A sharp pain shot through her shoulder as she was embraced, and she could feel her blood draining away.

“Ali… Alice… it’s okay, it’s alright…”

Isabelle tried to turn her head and caress Alice’s cheek, but a hand covered her eyes, preventing her from moving. She initially thought Alice’s bloodlust had acted up, but after several minutes, Alice showed no signs of stopping. Her blood continued to flow.

“Ugh… Alice, I can’t… Stop…”

Isabelle finally couldn’t bear it anymore and let out a soft plea. But Alice didn’t stop. Faced with such a forceful Alice, Isabelle seemed to relax completely. The massive blood loss made her weak and limp.

“Dying in my sister’s arms doesn’t seem so bad… at least I can see her this way…”

Isabelle closed her eyes, but as soon as she stopped resisting, Alice stopped as well. She licked the wound on Isabelle’s shoulder, stopping the bleeding, then tossed her back onto the bed, ignoring her weakened state.

“See? Don’t consider me your family. You’re nothing but a dispensable blood bag to me…”

“If… if that’s the case, at least you… acknowledge me…”

“You self-righteous fool, I don’t need your twisted concern.”

Alice wiped the blood from her lips expressionlessly. It was still tasteless, nothing like the delicious peach-flavored blood. But thanks to this blood, her bloodlust was temporarily sated.

“Don’t investigate me again. This is your final warning…”

“No, what if you go somewhere dangerous—Mmm!!”

Before Isabelle could finish, the gag was back in her mouth. Alice looked at Isabelle’s weakened state and disheveled clothes, a large expanse of skin exposed. After hesitating for a moment, she tidied Isabelle’s clothes. She didn’t want the maids to misunderstand when they came in later.

“That should be better…”

Meanwhile, back at the church, Luo Yuxi looked at the unexpected visitor, unsure how to react. Sybil, who had been reprimanded by Ling Shuang and kicked out of the church last time, was back.

“So what are you here for this time? Is your pet dead again and you need me to resurrect it…?”

Sybil looked at the fully clothed Luo Yuxi and scratched her head. She knew she had gone too far last time. If Ling Shuang hadn’t suddenly appeared, she would have become a lewd elf who had gotten what she wanted. But it wasn’t her fault, Luo Yuxi’s appearance was incredibly appealing, even to an elf.

“Hehe… I don’t have any other motive this time, I just wanted to give you this…”

Sybil wiped away non-existent drool. Although she claimed to have no ulterior motives, her restless hand told a different story. Luo Yuxi glared at the hand on her leg, not only stroking it back and forth, but also slowly moving upwards. Sybil continued to chuckle.

“This texture, this shape, hehe… these legs are so smooth, I could play with them for a year…”

“Uh, are you done touching? What’s the matter? If there’s nothing else, I have to go to the confessional…”

“There is! Of course there is!”

Seeing Luo Yuxi about to leave, Sybil quickly stopped what she was doing. Legs were nice, but she couldn’t be greedy. She took out a beautifully packaged invitation from her bag. Luo Yuxi looked at it, puzzled.

“Could this be a birthday invitation?”

“What? We elves don’t celebrate such boring holidays. After all, we have long lifespans~”

“Then what is this?”

Luo Yuxi looked curiously at the invitation, with its exquisite packaging, unique embossing, and a leaf radiating life force. Sybil, seeing her confusion, smirked and whispered in her ear,

“It’s our wedding invitation~”

“???”

Chapter 16: Letting the Wolf into the House

Five days had passed since Isaiah was forced into the unequal agreement. Thanks to her presence, Ling Shuang hadn’t bothered Luo Yuxi recently, likely afraid of exposing her own identity. The thought of not waking up with aches and pains made Luo Yuxi look at Isaiah with a gentler gaze.

“Finally, I understand why those villains enjoy bullying others so much…”

Luo Yuxi walked into the main hall and saw Isaiah, the former Holy Knight of the Divine Punishment Army, cleaning the Goddess statue with a bucket. As Luo Yuxi approached to greet her, she accidentally kicked over the bucket, spilling dirty water all over the floor.

“I…”

“…”

Luo Yuxi was about to apologize, but Isaiah, like a princess subjected to unfair treatment, said nothing and simply knelt down, wiping the water with a cloth. Luo Yuxi felt a strange sense of guilt.

“I feel like the evil stepmother in a fairy tale…”

While Luo Yuxi felt guilty, Ling Shuang felt nothing of the sort. With the demeanor of a true villain, she approached from afar, noticing Isaiah cleaning the floor.

“Really, I told you to clean the Goddess statue, and you’re cleaning the floor…”

“I… I was cleaning the statue, but the bucket fell over…”

Before Isaiah could finish, Ling Shuang kicked over the newly refilled bucket, purely out of spite. Isaiah almost reacted, but remembered Ling Shuang held her secret.

“Heh, I don’t care if you were a Holy Knight, you’re just a maid now. How dare you argue with me…”

Ling Shuang lifted Isaiah’s chin with her foot, her eyes full of disdain. Isaiah, not daring to meet her gaze, covered her chest, looking wronged, a picture of humiliation.

“U-Understood… I’m sorry…”

“Alright, alright, Ling Shuang, isn’t this a bit too much…?”

Luo Yuxi tried to intervene. Although Isaiah had been arrogant before, bullying her like this felt wrong. Even though she looked intimidating in armor, she now seemed strangely cute in her maid outfit.

“What? You’re scolding me for her sake! Sob, as expected, everyone changes their mind eventually. It’s all your fault!”

Instead of heeding Luo Yuxi’s gentle rebuke, Ling Shuang stepped on Isaiah’s breast with her stocking-clad foot, creating a lewd indentation.

“It’s all because of you! You still have such unsightly things!”

“Enough! Ling Shuang!”

Luo Yuxi couldn’t ignore Ling Shuang’s bullying any longer. Initially, she had seen it as a small punishment for Isaiah’s arrogance, but five days had passed, and Ling Shuang’s behavior had only worsened.

“Tsk…”

“I only said to have Isaiah clean the church, there’s no need to…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the displeased Ling Shuang, afraid she might suddenly lash out. But with Isaiah present, Ling Shuang probably wouldn’t reveal her witch identity. So, facing Luo Yuxi’s explanation, Ling Shuang simply pouted and turned away.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I didn’t expect you to speak up for me after how I treated you…”

Isaiah looked at Luo Yuxi, who gently helped her up, a hint of affection blooming in her heart. Especially when Luo Yuxi’s pink hair brushed against her fingers, a strange feeling arose. Perhaps a little kindness in a difficult situation could spark unexpected feelings.

“Then please clean the church. Ling Shuang might act like that, but she’s a good person… probably…”

Luo Yuxi tried to defend Ling Shuang, hoping that if Isaiah ever discovered her witch identity, she would show mercy. As she spoke, she helped Isaiah straighten her clothes, unaware that Ling Shuang was watching from afar.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!”

Ling Shuang had originally intended to bring Isaiah in and exploit her, letting her experience the harshness of society. But when Isaiah took off her armor and put on the maid outfit, Ling Shuang regretted it. Isaiah wasn’t unattractive, her golden hair and eyelashes giving her a holy aura, and her body beneath the armor was… alluring. Compared to Ling Shuang’s own undeveloped body, she realized she had let the wolf into the house.

“Damn it! She’s even seducing Sister Yuxi! Such a shameless, big-breasted, air-headed woman!”

Ling Shuang was fuming, but she couldn’t act. Her treatment of Isaiah had been too obvious, even Luo Yuxi couldn’t stand it anymore. As she was still struggling with what to do, a delicate hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.

“Oh my, isn’t this my dear little sister? What are you peeking at~?”

“!!!”

The sudden voice startled Ling Shuang, but she recognized it and replied coldly.

“I’m just Sister Yuxi’s sister. I have nothing to do with you…”

“Oh, don’t be so distant. We might become family one day~”

“Go to hell…”

Ling Shuang didn’t appreciate Alice’s attempt to get closer. She glared at her, telling her to stay away. She had no good feelings towards this woman who had taken advantage of her absence to sneak into her “home.” Alice, however, wasn’t offended by Ling Shuang’s hostility.

“Perhaps you have a bigger problem now. Maybe we can put our differences aside~”

Alice pointed towards Luo Yuxi and Isaiah behind the door. In just a short while, Isaiah had “sprained her ankle” and was now leaning against Luo Yuxi’s soft and ample bosom.

Crack!

Seeing this, Ling Shuang unconsciously tightened her grip, leaving deep marks on the door frame. Alice smiled meaningfully and leaned closer, gently stroking Ling Shuang’s blue hair.

“You like her too, right? Maybe we can cooperate. I only want to drink Luo Yuxi’s blood, that’s all~”

“Get lost…”

Ling Shuang glanced coldly at Isaiah and walked towards the second floor of the church, clearly rejecting Alice’s offer. Seeing Ling Shuang leave without agreeing, Alice simply opened her umbrella, glanced at the two in the main hall, sneered, and left the church.

Chapter 15: You Wouldn’t Want…

Isaiah looked at Ling Shuang, whose arrogant expression showed no respect. Isaiah was a Knight-Captain of the Divine Punishment Army, and the girl in front of her was just a lowly nun, yet she dared to provoke her.

“How dare you…!”

Clink!

Just as Isaiah was about to threaten Ling Shuang, a golden badge suddenly fell to the ground. Ling Shuang innocently picked it up, wiping it as she spoke, clearly directing her words at Isaiah.

“Oh dear, I accidentally dropped Sister’s Direct Nun badge~”

Luo Yuxi was stunned. Why was she suddenly involved? She had thought Ling Shuang was planning to force their way out, but now, seeing Ling Shuang’s confident demeanor, it seemed she had a different plan.

“Di… Direct Nun…”

Isaiah’s arrogant expression faltered. She nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. A Direct Nun was appointed by the Central Church and served as a liaison with local churches. In terms of rank, she outranked a mere Knight-Captain.

“So! So what! We detected a strong witch reaction here! You still want to resist our—”

“Knight, please be mindful of your words. You are suspecting a Direct Nun of the Church. Are you suggesting there are witches within the Church~?”

Ling Shuang took two steps forward aggressively. Despite being a loli, the aura she exuded made Isaiah take two steps back. Defeated, she sat back down, her arrogance gone.

“You two, tell everyone outside to withdraw…”

“Yes, Captain…”

Isaiah waved her hand, and the two soldiers quickly left the church, afraid of being implicated.

Luo Yuxi was still in a daze. She had encountered Direct Nuns in the game, but they were just background characters at resurrection points. She never imagined she herself held such a prestigious position. She also hadn’t expected Ling Shuang to be so eloquent. She wondered if her “lessons” had covered rhetoric as well.

“She’s not just skilled in that area…”

Now that Luo Yuxi knew her status was higher than Isaiah’s, she felt more confident. She patted Isaiah’s shoulder, her previous nervousness gone.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m quite approachable~”

As Luo Yuxi patted her shoulder, Isaiah saw the mark on the back of her hand and was shocked. Not only was she a Direct Nun, but she also bore a Holy Mark. No wonder she held such a position despite being so weak.

“I apologize for the intrusion. I didn’t have the proper search warrant. In that case, I won’t disturb you any further…”

Isaiah stood up, wanting to quickly leave this troublesome place. But as she reached the door, it slammed shut, and a bad feeling crept into her heart.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. You barged in so aggressively with so many people, it wouldn’t be right to just leave like this~”

“You! What more do you want? I already apologized!”

Ling Shuang, despite being much shorter than Isaiah, showed no fear, excitedly cornering her. Afraid of offending Ling Shuang, Isaiah could only let her approach.

“You wouldn’t want the Central Church to find out about this, would you~?”

“What! What do you want?”

“Of course, for you to stay and compensate my sister and me for our emotional distress~”

“Stay here? Do you want me to become a nun?”

Isaiah was filled with resistance. She just wanted to be a knight. Although she occasionally flirted with the ordinary nuns, she hadn’t expected to encounter such a formidable opponent today. And if she became a nun, who knew how much her comrades would mock her. But Ling Shuang shook her head.

“In your dreams. Becoming a nun like us wouldn’t be enough to atone for your mistake…”

“Not a nun, I understand. You want me to stay as a guard and protect—”

Before Isaiah could finish, a piece of clothing was thrown in her face. She picked it up, examining it from left to right, her face turning pale. It was black and white, with white garter stockings, but it wasn’t a nun’s habit.

“This isn’t a nun’s habit…”

“No.”

“Why is it a maid outfit?”

“Heh, you’re in my hands now. If you don’t want me to report you to the Central Church, be a good servant…”

Ling Shuang clapped her hands. Isaiah looked at the maid outfit, feeling deeply insulted. She was a Knight-Captain of the Divine Punishment Army, and she was being asked to be a maid.

“I’d rather die! I, Isaiah, would rather die on the battlefield than—”

“Think carefully. If the Central Church finds out and sends an Inspector Nun…”

Isaiah swallowed her words. She couldn’t afford to offend even ordinary nuns directly under the Church. If she encountered a high-ranking Inspector Nun with a bad temper and absolute authority, she would be skinned alive.

“I… I understand. I will atone for my sins. Please don’t tell anyone. I’ll be obedient…”

Isaiah dejectedly took the maid outfit and walked into the next room, slowly removing her armor, her slender body exposed. The toned abs on her stomach were eye-catching, her golden hair and eyelashes giving her a holy aura. Even in a maid outfit, the urge to defile her remained.

“Is this too much… Ling Shuang… if you push her too hard, your identity…”

“Sometimes being too gentle only makes them push their luck. Sister, you should be more worried about yourself~”

Luo Yuxi had wanted to advise Ling Shuang against going too far, but seeing the little girl holding the bottle of Succubus Tears, her face darkened. Reporting Ling Shuang seemed like the best option after all.

“Why did I go soft…?”

As Luo Yuxi was still thinking, the door opened, and Isaiah walked out in the maid outfit, occasionally tugging at the short skirt. Used to wearing armor, she found the maid outfit with garter stockings incredibly embarrassing. She stammered,

“Master, please give your orders…”

“You have a nice body, let me see!”

“Eh?!”

Chapter 14: The Divine Punishment Army

Luo Yuxi standing at the door, Luo Yuxi lying on the bed, and Alice holding Luo Yuxi’s ankle – the three were frozen in a strange tableau. The air was thick with tension, and Luo Yuxi could feel the temperature in the room plummeting.

“Who is she…”

Three simple words from Ling Shuang’s mouth, yet spoken with a chilling calmness that made it hard for Luo Yuxi to breathe. Alice looked at Ling Shuang with disdain, even provocatively stroking the stocking-clad foot in her hand, making Luo Yuxi gasp.

“Eep!”

“!!!”

After the involuntary sound escaped her lips, Luo Yuxi quickly covered her mouth, afraid to further provoke Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang looked at Alice, who was shamelessly taking advantage of Luo Yuxi, with the eyes of someone looking at a corpse. Meanwhile, the townspeople noticed snowflakes falling from the sky.

“Huh, wasn’t it sunny just now? Why is it suddenly snowing…?”

Ling Shuang glared at the hand caressing Luo Yuxi’s foot, already imagining tearing Alice to pieces. Luo Yuxi didn’t know what was going on in Ling Shuang’s mind, but seeing the icy mist emanating from her…

“Not good, she’s about to lose control! Even though this is a border town, there are still high-ranking members of the Church stationed here!”

Luo Yuxi knew that if she stayed on the bed, she would be turned into an ice sculpture along with the “other woman.” She forcefully pulled her foot free from Alice’s grasp, her stocking-clad feet landing on the frost-covered floor. Just as Ling Shuang was about to explode, Luo Yuxi hugged her, burying her face in Ling Shuang’s ample bosom, somehow snapping her back to reality.

“Hey, wait! If you release your power again, you’ll be discovered!!”

“Mmm!!! Mmm!!!”

Ling Shuang, whose face had been terrifyingly cold just moments before, hadn’t expected the sudden attack. Hugged tightly by Luo Yuxi and subjected to a face full of… cleavage, she could only smell Luo Yuxi’s peach-like scent, intoxicating, alluring, and corrupting.

“Damn, that powerful energy fluctuation must have been detected. I know you’re eager, but calm down first, or we won’t be able to— Huh? Ling Shuang? Why did you faint?”

“Pea… Peach…”

Ling Shuang uttered a single word before collapsing peacefully, completely lost in the peach-scented ocean. Alice watched Ling Shuang fall into Luo Yuxi’s arms and slowly got off the bed.

“Oh my, your sister had such intense killing intent just now, I was so scared~”

“I’m not in the mood for your jokes!”

Luo Yuxi couldn’t care less about anything else. Although she had reported Ling Shuang in the game’s plot, that was five years later. If the Church discovered Ling Shuang’s awakening now, forget about escaping, they wouldn’t even be able to leave this border town.

“Sister Yuxi…”

Ling Shuang slowly opened her eyes, calmly wiping the nosebleed caused by her excitement. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected her hug to be so effective. Seeing Ling Shuang’s slightly dazed expression, she couldn’t help but worry.

“Ling Shuang, we need to leave here quickly, before the Church’s pursuers arrive!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside the church. Luo Yuxi rushed to the main hall and saw a blonde girl in armor sitting on one of the chairs. An invisible pressure emanated from her.

“13th Division of the Divine Punishment Army, Knight-Captain Isaiah…”

The blonde girl spoke calmly. Two knights behind her saluted. Luo Yuxi looked at their ornate armor and felt the invisible pressure, gulping nervously.

“Is… Isaiah… who?”

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl. Even in full armor, her heroic aura couldn’t be concealed. Her golden eyelashes and long hair made her look like a Valkyrie descended from a painting. But even though she was beautiful, Luo Yuxi racked her brain and couldn’t remember who she was. Even after completing the game, she had no recollection of this character.

“Ling Shuang awakens five years later, so the one who captured her should have been the Commander of the 4th Division of the Church’s Royal Guard…”

Luo Yuxi then remembered the difference between the Divine Punishment Army and the Royal Guard. The Divine Punishment Army was the Church’s main fighting force, responsible for external wars. It was the largest army, and its Commander-in-Chief was a Second Order powerhouse.

“Since it’s not five years later yet, the Divine Punishment Army is still stationed here…?”

Luo Yuxi muttered to herself. Isaiah, sitting at the side, felt awkward. She had announced her name and title, even adopting what she thought was an intimidating posture, waiting for a fearful response. Yet, after several minutes, the little nun in front of her hadn’t even acknowledged her.

“Ahem… we detected a witch’s magic fluctuation nearby…”

Seeing Luo Yuxi still lost in thought, Isaiah, who had wanted to intimidate her, had to speak first. Luo Yuxi, hearing the question, frantically thought of a way to get out of this.

“Um, well… your detectors must be broken. There’s no witch here~”

Isaiah looked at the slightly panicked Luo Yuxi. Her battle instincts told her something was wrong. She slowly stood up. Luo Yuxi then realized how tall she was, probably over 1.8 meters. Despite looking like a beautiful girl, she exuded an overwhelming presence.

“Heh, that terrifying magical power was clearly a witch’s unique magic. What else do you have to say for yourself?!”

“Yes, harboring a witch is a serious crime~”

Isaiah, standing tall, wanted to intimidate Luo Yuxi into confessing. But a discordant voice suddenly interrupted. Luo Yuxi turned nervously and saw Alice leaning lazily against the door of the main hall.

“Who are you? We’re discussing a serious matter concerning a witch. How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation!”

“Second daughter of the Lawrence family. So what are you suspecting me of…?”

Alice calmly stated her identity. Isaiah, who had been so imposing just moments before, faltered upon hearing the name “Lawrence.” The Lawrence family was the largest merchant family, controlling 20% of the nation’s finances. Even the Pope had to give them face.

“If you’re the second daughter of the Lawrence family, then you surely have no connection to the witch…”

“That’s right. It seems I have no business here then. I’ll be going now, bye~”

Alice glanced at Isaiah with narrowed eyes. Even though she was just the second daughter of a merchant family, Isaiah felt like she was being stared at by a predator. As Alice opened her black umbrella and slowly left the church, the feeling gradually faded, and Isaiah dismissed it as an illusion.

“So, I’m going to thoroughly search this church now!”

Isaiah, no longer suspicious of Alice, thought a rich young lady like her probably just came to the church to pray. Besides, the Lawrence family wasn’t someone a mere Knight-Captain could afford to offend. But the little nun in front of her was a different story.

“From now on, please cooperate with our—”

“Heh, how dare a mere Knight-Captain act so arrogantly…”

“????”

Ling Shuang, now back to her usual self, looked at Isaiah with disdain. Luo Yuxi’s expression was a picture of shock. She had been hoping Ling Shuang would slip away while she talked to Isaiah, but she had actually come out and directly confronted the Knight-Captain.

“You think you can search our church based on your words alone? Then bring your Commander~”
