Category: Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose!

Chapter 53: A Major Crisis

At the Apal magic station, a girl in a Western-style dress stepped off the train. Looking at the magnificent buildings, she opened a black parasol, her elegant aura drawing the attention of passing nuns.

“So this is the city where the Church headquarters is located. Quite prosperous. But why did you follow me…?”

The girl with the parasol was Alice, now fully awakened as the Blood Witch. She hadn’t expected to awaken so soon, but after drinking Luo Yuxi’s blood a few times, her desires intensified, and she awoke the next morning fully transformed.

“If my little sister is going to such a dangerous place, how can I not look after her? And if Lady Lilith were still here…”

“Shut up!!”

Alice glared at Isabelle, who stood behind her with a gentle smile. That gentle smile filled Alice with rage. A mere human, not only had she dragged their mother into the war between the witches and the Church, but she also shamelessly called herself Alice’s sister.

“I told you, you’re not worthy of mentioning that name…”

“Alice… I apologize…”

Alice adjusted her parasol. The brief exposure to sunlight had reddened her skin. She walked down the street, asking about Luo Yuxi.

“A pink-haired nun? Haven’t seen her, haven’t seen her. Lots of people have pink hair, who knows which one you’re talking about…”

“A very beautiful nun? All the nuns in the Church are pretty, that’s too broad a description.”

“I think I’ve heard of the person you’re looking for. Wait, are you a vampire?! A vampire appearing in daylight, that’s a first!”

…

Alice’s inquiries yielded nothing but useless information. Isabelle, following behind, watched as Alice searched for that woman, a hint of a smile appearing on her lips whenever a clue surfaced. It was an expression she had never shown Isabelle before.

“I’m so jealous. Is my little sister’s concern for others greater than for her own sister…?”

Isabelle recalled her first encounter with the pink-haired nun, kneeling piously before the Goddess statue, an image that captivated even Isabelle. When Luo Yuxi stood up, bathed in the sunlight filtering through the stained glass, Isabelle’s first thought was,

“If it were her blood, Alice wouldn’t refuse, would she~?”

Isabelle’s guess was correct. Her sister not only loved the nun’s blood, but she had also become obsessed with her. Although Alice pretended to be indifferent, Isabelle noticed the satisfied expression on her face after returning from her secret trips outside the manor during her bloodlust periods, an expression she had never shown Isabelle.

“Alice~ Should we wait until nightfall to gather information? The sunlight…”

“Mind your own business, I don’t need your concern.”

Alice continued her search. Isabelle sighed and followed, seemingly unfazed.

“Luo Yuxi, where are you…?”

Meanwhile, Luo Yuxi returned to the apartment provided by the Church. Seeing the cozy interior, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had been summoned here, only to be caught up in so much trouble. If it weren’t for that succubus’s sacrifice, she would be a corpse by now.

“Even Church headquarters isn’t safe. Although Ann, the Seat of Justice, is no longer a threat, she’s part of the radical faction…”

Luo Yuxi closed the door, thinking about the other radical bishops and how to deal with them. But hopefully, she wouldn’t encounter any more bishops. They were usually out on missions.

“Big sister, what’s wrong? Why the long face…? Is there anything Little Yu can help with…?”

Yu Keke’s gentle voice startled Luo Yuxi. She hadn’t noticed her sitting beside her. Her innocent appearance warmed Luo Yuxi’s heart.

“Oh, it’s so nice to have you, Little Yu. Just being with you makes everything better~”

“Really? As long as I can help big sister, I’ll do anything~”

Luo Yuxi hugged the purple-haired loli, nuzzling her soft cheek. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared before her.

“Big sister, what are you doing…?”

“What am I doing? I’m being affectionate with Little Yu— Eh? Little Yu?”

Luo Yuxi looked at the little girl before her, the same purple hair and eyes, the same innocent expression as the one in her arms.

“There… there are two Little Yus?!”

“Big sister, I’m the real Little Yu! Stop bullying me, Little Yun!”

The Little Yu in her arms broke free, a mischievous smile on her face. Luo Yuxi realized she had been tricked. It was Yun Keke in disguise. Yun Keke, hands on her hips, looked at Luo Yuxi triumphantly.

“Weakling big sister~ You really are a weakling~ You can’t even tell us apart just because we changed our hair color~”

“You! Little Yun! How dare you—!”

“So easily angered, truly a weakling, such an idiot, tricked by a child like me~”

Yun Keke snapped her fingers, her hair turning back to its original silver-white. She looked at Luo Yuxi mockingly and leaned closer.

“Are you angry, big sister? Are you going to spank Little Yun’s bottom again? I’m so scared~”

“Alright, you asked for it! I just learned a new technique, I’ll try it on you~”

Luo Yuxi grabbed Yun Keke and threw her onto the bed. To Yu Keke’s shock, she pulled her onto the bed as well. The two lolis lay there, one shy and embarrassed, the other defiant and mocking.

“I promised to help you find your mother, but it seems I might have to turn you two into mothers first~”

“Weakling sister is all talk, just trying to scare us. Weakling, weakling~”

Yun Keke continued to taunt her, thinking Luo Yuxi was just bluffing. She didn’t know that in just one afternoon, Luo Yuxi had undergone intense “training.”

“You two have such soft bodies~”

As Luo Yuxi approached, the doorbell rang. She snapped out of her “evil” thoughts and jumped off the bed, rushing to the door and breathing a sigh of relief.

“That was close, what was I thinking? I almost fell for her provocation and became a lolicon…”

“Weakling big sister is nothing but talk. She just looks at the food, but doesn’t eat~”

Yun Keke continued to taunt her, unaware of how close she had come to becoming Luo Yuxi’s plaything. Luo Yuxi wasn’t physically strong, but her hands were incredibly dexterous.

“Alright, Little Yun, stop it. Big sister will be troubled if you keep provoking her…”

Yu Keke sensed the danger she had felt in Luo Yuxi’s eyes, her legs going weak.

“That feeling was strange, like I was about to be devoured…”

Luo Yuxi ignored their thoughts. The doorbell rang again impatiently. She opened the door, thinking it was another bishop with a message. But when she opened the door, she saw Ling Shuang, dressed in her nun’s habit, standing there with a smile.

BAM!!!

“That must be it, the afternoon’s events were too bizarre, I’m hallucinating…”

Luo Yuxi slammed the door shut. How could Ling Shuang, who was at the border, be here in Apal? She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened the door again.

“Sister, long time no see~”

BAM!!!

“It’s definitely a hallucination, there’s nothing there, time to sleep…”

Luo Yuxi closed the door again, pretending she hadn’t seen anything. But a crack appeared on the sturdy wooden door, and a sharp axe blade pierced through.

CRASH!!!

“Really, Sister, why did you close the door~?”

“!!!”

Luo Yuxi stared at the axe in terror. As it was pulled back, an eye appeared in the crack, staring at her. Luo Yuxi panicked.

“It’s not a dream! Ling Shuang is really here! And why does she have an axe?!”

“Sister Yuxi, what are you muttering about? I just want to ask why you left me behind. Open the door, the big bad wolf is coming~”

“No! Stay away from me!”

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~”

Chapter 51: Educating the Bratty Bishop Online

Luo Yuxi sat on a nearby chair, the power dynamic completely reversed. Ann, her eyes glazed over, lay helplessly on the floor, her previous arrogance gone. Luo Yuxi calmly wiped her hands with a tissue.

“So this is the level of the Seat of Justice? Trying to kill me with such meager skills? You’re no different from that pathetic succubus~”

“Kill… kill me… A bishop cannot be humiliated…”

Ann rolled over, the curse mark throbbing. A mere touch from Luo Yuxi had almost made her faint. The sensation was unlike anything she had ever experienced. She felt utterly humiliated.

[Divine Art: Holy Light Sword]!

“Die, die!! I will never submit to you!”

Ann wanted to kill the nun, even though she looked so alluring, tempting Ann to kneel and kiss her feet in submission. But Ann’s sense of justice wouldn’t allow it.

“You haven’t learned your lesson, have you? Your divine arts are sealed, what are you struggling for…?”

Luo Yuxi watched as Ann struggled to gather a tiny amount of divine power, forming a small light sword. Such a weak attack was useless. Luo Yuxi sneered and kicked her in the stomach.

“Sigh, I feel like a villain now. But you tried to kill me. Attacking your master is not what a slave should do…”

Ann, the Seat of Justice, had never been so humiliated. She thought, Even if I’m tortured, I won’t beg for mercy. Even without my 3rd Order power, I still have my pride as a bishop.

“Judging by your expression, you’re still not convinced?”

“Heh, you better kill me now, this potion’s effect is temporary. Once it wears off, I’ll definitely kill— Ah!!”

Luo Yuxi wasn’t in the mood for threats. She grabbed Ann’s ankle. Without her 3rd Order power, the little girl was no match for her.

“It seems the curse mark hasn’t faded yet. You’re already so sensitive. I hope your mouth will still be this hard later…”

Seeing Luo Yuxi’s sinister smile, Ann couldn’t maintain her composure any longer. She tried to kick Luo Yuxi away, but her foot was easily caught. A slight pressure on her sole sent a jolt through her body.

“So sensitive, huh? Then how about this…?”

“J-Just… this much… is nothing… I… I’m an experienced adult…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the stubborn Ann, panting but still defiant. She suddenly remembered this was a brothel. There must be toys here.

“Wait, what are you doing?!”

“Let’s browse the shop, there’s bound to be something suitable for you~”

Luo Yuxi dragged Ann into a special room filled with various devices: a wooden horse, a restraint table, a brush chair… items she had only seen in doujinshi. Ann’s legs went weak at the sight.

“Quite the collection. My hands would get tired if I only used them…”

“No! No! I want to leave! You devil! You’re not a nun, you’re a witch in disguise!!”

Seeing the look in Luo Yuxi’s eyes, Ann knew she was serious. She would be broken here, played with like a toy. She panicked and struggled, her composure gone.

“I said I won’t kill you, but I’ll make you wish you were dead. No, wait, I’ll make you feel ecstasy~”

No matter how much Ann struggled, even forgetting her dignity as a powerful being, her efforts were futile. Without her powers, she was just a lamb to the slaughter.

“This brush chair looks interesting~”

“Please! Please, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have tried to kill you! Anything but that chair, please!”

“What? We haven’t even started yet, and you’re already begging? That makes things difficult. Get on.”

Luo Yuxi thought, This is about my life. If she didn’t “educate” Ann properly, she would be in danger once the potion wore off. With the succubus mark, she might even be humiliated before being killed.

“How do you activate this thing? This place is quite well-equipped. So many buttons, which one is it…?”

Ann was thrown onto the chair. The moment she touched it, chains bound her limbs, her struggles useless. She looked at the rotating brushes in terror. Luo Yuxi was still figuring out the buttons when she accidentally pressed a red one, activating the high-speed rotation.

“!!!”

“Oh, it’s moving. Seems quite fast. But which button makes it stop…?”

“Please, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please spare me! I won’t ever try to kill you again, I’ll avoid you from now on!!”

Ann looked at the brush inches from her, her heart pounding. The curse mark alone had such an effect from a mere touch, if she was brushed by that thing, she would die, she would break.

“Really? It seems you’ve repented. You realize you were wrong~”

“I was wrong, I was wrong, I was too arrogant, please spare me! I promise I won’t have any thoughts about you anymore!”

“In that case, I refuse. Be a good girl and break~”

Luo Yuxi finally figured out the buttons, adjusting the distance. As the brush touched her, Ann felt her sanity crumble. Luo Yuxi smiled devilishly, pulled up a chair, poured herself a cup of tea, and enjoyed the show.

“St… stop…”

“This tea is quite good. It seems this succubus knew how to enjoy herself…”

“Please… stop this thing, I’ll do anything…!”

“It would be nice to have some snacks.”

Ten minutes passed.

“I can’t take it anymore, please spare me!”

Thirty minutes passed.

“It hurts… I… I won’t do it again, please spare me…”

One hour later.

“…”

Luo Yuxi pressed the stop button, looking at the unconscious Ann. After a while, Ann slowly woke up, collapsing on the floor the moment the chains released. She didn’t want to spend another second on that chair.

“Is that enough? Please stop, I’ll do anything, just let me go…”

“What are you talking about? We’ve only tried one. There are so many other toys to try. Don’t worry, we’ll use them all~”

Luo Yuxi smiled gently, as if discussing the weather. Ann regretted provoking her. Looking at the other torture devices, she wished for a quick death.

“Come on, we have plenty of time, but let’s not waste it. I still have to go back~”

“No! No, no!!”

[Obedience: 45%]

Chapter 50:

Luo Yuxi’s nun’s habit was torn and tattered, her pristine body exposed, making the succubus’s mouth dry, her tail stiff and straight. Ann closed the door and snapped her fingers, a large barrier encasing the entire shop.

“A last meal before death, not a bad way to go for a succubus…”

Ann smiled sinisterly, looking at the two on the floor. Despite being the Seat of Justice, her actions were anything but just. It didn’t matter what they did, they were both going to die.

“She’s so different from the game. She was cuter in the game. She’s supposed to be on the Church’s side, but now she’s acting like a villain…”

Luo Yuxi’s mind raced, searching for a way out. She couldn’t fight a 3rd Order head-on. Suddenly, she noticed the succubus’s hands slowing down as she was undressing her.

“A last meal, huh? But something this delicious, I don’t want to eat it just once…”

“!!!”

Luo Yuxi felt the succubus’s trembling hands. Even a creature of desire wasn’t willing to die. Suddenly, the succubus’s tail, which had almost reached Luo Yuxi’s most private area, shot out towards Ann.

“So, Bishop, you’ll have to die first~!”

“Hmph~ A lowly succubus, not even qualified to look at a high-Order, dares to challenge me? How presumptuous…”

[Divine Art: Sanctuary]

Ann didn’t even bother moving. The succubus’s tail sliced through the tables and chairs, but only managed to slightly crack Ann’s protective barrier, leaving a red mark on her cheek.

“Making me bleed, you’re quite capable. I only let you attack because I didn’t want to leave any traces…”

Ann’s cuteness couldn’t hide the sinister aura and killing intent emanating from her. The succubus laughed maniacally. Luo Yuxi, pinned beneath her, was confused. Did she go crazy after the failed attack?

“As an infiltrator, I’ve always been prepared to face high-Orders. The Sloth Witch’s poison can instantly incapacitate anyone below Second Order…”

“What?!”

The succubus stood up and revealed a vial of black liquid. Ann instantly felt weak, unable to even cast a spell. The succubus’s tail wrapped around her neck, choking her.

“I’m a villain who always finishes the job. After I kill you, I can enjoy my meal~”

“So… uncomfortable…”

As the tail tightened, Ann was lifted into the air, her shoes falling off, her stocking-clad feet kicking uselessly.

“My identity is exposed, I can’t stay here after killing her…”

Just then, Ann felt her strength returning. The dose must have been small, so the effect was short-lived. The succubus also sensed her returning power.

“Damn it, so close! Just let me defeat you properly…!”

The succubus’s tail lunged towards Ann’s heart, but Ann punched her in the stomach. Luo Yuxi, watching the fight, had hoped the succubus would buy her some time to escape, but it was over in less than a minute.

“That potion is indeed powerful. If the dose had been larger, I might have actually lost…”

“I didn’t expect a bishop like you to be so ruthless…”

“Done talking? Then it’s time for you to die.”

Ann sneered at the succubus. A low-Order creature daring to challenge her? Her eyes glowed gold, her twintails swaying.

“An ordinary succubus would just die, but do you think I’ll let you off easy~?”

Magic circles appeared on the succubus’s body. Ann recognized it as a sacrificial magic, paying a terrible price for a negligible effect.

[Sacrificial Magic: Mark of Depravity]

“With my body and soul as the price, let this person be marked with the succubus’s brand, forever dominated by desire, until they fall into depravity!”

“!!!”

[Greater Divine Art: Holy Purification]
[Divine Art: Magic Protection]
[Divine Art: Curse Immunity]
…

Ann hadn’t expected a lowly succubus to possess a magic mark that could only be inscribed by a First Order being. No magic or purification could stop it. Luo Yuxi, standing at the door, watched in a daze, unable to escape due to the barrier.

“My body is so hot, so uncomfortable… I feel strange~”

Ann clutched her stomach, her face flushed, and knelt on the ground. The fading succubus, seeing her pain, smiled even in her final moments.

“Enjoy the gift I’ve left you~”

The succubus vanished into dust, the sacrificial magic complete. Ann felt a drastic change in her body. Even her usual bishop’s robes felt constricting, her sensitivity heightened.

“D-Damn it, how did this happen…?”

Ann tore open her collar, revealing a seductive silver mark on her stomach. She stood up with difficulty, looking at Luo Yuxi at the door.

“No, I can’t let her escape. If this gets out, I’ll—Ah~!”

Ann couldn’t hide it anymore. The intense discomfort felt like being constantly caressed. She wanted to use a wide-range attack spell, but as she stood up, her stocking-clad feet touched the floor, and her legs went weak.

“It seems you need some help…”

Luo Yuxi finally understood. This girl had overdone it and been tricked by a succubus. She couldn’t even stand properly. Luo Yuxi approached and squatted down, looking at the helpless Ann. Since she couldn’t escape, she might as well find a way to use this to her advantage.

“I’ll kill you, kill you…”

“Come on, in your current state, you can barely stand, let alone kill me~”

Luo Yuxi looked at the struggling loli. Her trembling legs and fidgeting feet said it all. Luo Yuxi, who had been bullied since arriving in this world, wasn’t going to miss this opportunity.

“Your body is very sensitive, right? I remember something like this happening in the game…”

Luo Yuxi recalled a succubus hunter achievement in the game, requiring a virgin playthrough and killing 100 succubi. She had triggered a hidden quest after killing 30, receiving this mark, which increased her sensitivity and lowered her sanity and reasoning. She hadn’t finished the virgin playthrough, instead becoming a “promiscuous saintess.”

“I think the solution was to… relieve myself… every twelve hours to get the achievement…”

Luo Yuxi looked at Ann. Although she seemed defenseless, she was still a 3rd Order. If she was humiliated and decided to self-destruct, it would be troublesome.

“Since you wanted to kill me, it’s only fair that I retaliate~”

Luo Yuxi glared at Ann. Others wanting to “have their way” with her was one thing, but Ann had actually wanted to kill her. Luo Yuxi looked at the items dropped by the dead succubus.

[Water of Despair]

[A single drop can incapacitate anyone below Second Order. The only potion the Sloth Witch ever seriously brewed.]

[Disguise Gem]

[Can deceive others’ vision and conceal one’s true race.]

“Oh, two good items. Water of Despair? Isn’t this exactly what I need~?”

Ann struggled to her feet, looking at Luo Yuxi, who had her back turned. She raised her hand, aiming at Luo Yuxi, a powerful holy aura gathering in her palm. A single swing would pierce her through.

[Divine Art: Holy Sword]

“D-Die… my body is so hot, so uncomfortable, I want to be—No, no! I have to kill her! Yes, kill her!”

Ann tried to focus, but seeing Luo Yuxi’s exposed shoulder and slightly flushed cheek, she felt a strange urge to offer herself to her.

“You can actually stand? Drink this. If you can still resist after this, I’ll have a headache…”

“S-Stop!”

Just as Ann was trying to regain her senses, Luo Yuxi was already in front of her, holding the potion that could incapacitate her. Ann instantly understood what she was planning. If she drank it, she would be completely helpless.

“If you drink it, I’ll make you feel better~”

“How could I possibly—”

Before Ann could finish, she found herself holding the half-empty bottle, a wave of weakness washing over her. Luo Yuxi looked at Ann, who had collapsed on the floor, her cute face flushed, her limbs limp like a doll’s.

“Really, why drink so much? You’re going to be my slave anyway, save some for later~”

“You! Stop… don’t come closer, stay away from me…”

“If you try to kill someone, be prepared to be killed back. I won’t kill you, I’ll slowly re-educate you, until you admit you’re just my slave~”

Luo Yuxi finally experienced the joy of brainwashing, reminded of an anime she had watched before crossing over. Looking at the helpless Ann, she said,

“Do you want this stick, or mine~?”

“!!!”

2 chapters per day will be unlocked starting from the next chapter.

 

Chapter 49: This Justice, Not That Justice

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl before her, striking a dramatic pose, and wondered, Is she really a bishop? She seems so chuunibyou. Maybe it was just a little girl wearing a bishop’s outfit.

“Um… Bishop, right?”

“Hmph, I am the bishop of the Seat of Justice! I admit your skill is powerful, but even against witches, I will defeat them with honor! So let me see what you’re made of…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the twintailed loli, hands on her hips, a smug look on her face. She remembered this character from the 12 bishops in the game. Although powerful and high-ranking, she acted like a child.

“Um, Bishop, I know you want to spar, but I’m only 11th Order…”

Luo Yuxi looked around for escape routes. This was Apal, the Church headquarters. Even a bishop wouldn’t chase her around, right?

“You have a point, bullying the weak is unjust. Fine, I’ll suppress my power to 11th Order~”

Luo Yuxi watched as the girl rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight. She wondered how long she could last with her suicidal self-immolation tactic.

[Ding]

[Ann] (Name too long, too lazy to write)

Occupation: Bishop
Affiliation: Church
Skills: ???
Title: Seat of Justice, Shield of the Church
Affection: 50%
Order Level: 3rd Order

Luo Yuxi looked at the panel, not surprised by the 3rd Order level. Even self-immolation probably wouldn’t work. Ann, seeing Luo Yuxi’s lack of preparation, thought, Has she given up?

“Don’t tell me you’re looking down on me…”

Ann took a fighting stance. Luo Yuxi, however, was thinking of how to escape. Even with her abnormal healing, she couldn’t fight someone two levels higher.

“In that case, I’ll be gentle. You’re quite pretty, so I’ll avoid hitting your face~”

[Greater Divine Art: Divine Barrier]

“Hey, hey, hey, you, the Seat of Justice, bullying the weak…”

“What? I said I suppressed my power to your level!”

“No one uses Greater Divine Arts at 11th Order!”

Luo Yuxi knew this bishop was different from the others. She was unreasonable, a warmonger in the game, who had often caused trouble for the protagonist. Later, after the protagonist became stronger, she had been thoroughly “punished.”

“It was satisfying in the game, but I can’t win now…”

Luo Yuxi looked at the golden aura surrounding Ann, like sunlight. But she knew Greater Divine Arts were on a different level from ordinary divine arts. And the title “Shield of the Church” wasn’t for show. Ann specialized in defensive divine arts and had even withstood attacks from 2nd Order witches.

“Since it’s come to this, I’ll just have to…”

“Hmm, here it comes~ If I win, you’ll become my direct subordinate~”

“See you later!”

[Divine Art: Holy Light]

Luo Yuxi cast the spell towards the sky. A blinding light filled the street. Thankfully, there weren’t many people around. Ann, caught off guard, was blinded.

“Ah! So bright! I can’t see! Such a dirty trick, you’re so sneaky!”

“What a joke, you’re 3rd Order, even suppressed, your physical strength is still there. My attacks can’t even break your defense!”

Luo Yuxi ran and ducked into a nearby shop without looking. Church personnel would be severely punished for harming civilians within Church territory, so even if Ann caught her, she wouldn’t dare attack.

“Really, being targeted by that battle maniac is not good. Making me her subordinate… what kind of shop is this…?”

Luo Yuxi looked through the glass door, relieved that Ann hadn’t followed. Just as she was about to examine the shop, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind. She was caught off guard.

“What a rare guest. I didn’t expect a Church nun to come to a place like this~”

Luo Yuxi thought she had entered some shady establishment and was about to turn around when a hand slipped into her habit, delicate fingers tracing her stomach. The skillful touch almost made her cry out. Before she could catch her breath, another attack came, her sensitive earlobe being gently nibbled.

“Since you’ve entered, you’re a customer. Don’t worry, I’ll make you feel good. Just relax and follow my fingers~”

“W-Wait, stop!”

Luo Yuxi finally pushed the girl away and saw her clearly. Despite the seductive voice, it was just an elven girl, her pointed ears slightly flushed, her light golden hair tied in a ponytail, her appearance rather cute.

“Why did you push me away, customer? Is there something you’re not satisfied with~?”

“Wait, what kind of shop is this?!”

Luo Yuxi had just wanted to hide, but this didn’t seem like a normal shop. Or maybe it was, and all elves were just like this. She recalled the elf-run item shop where she had witnessed some “special activities.”

“Hmm? You’re so funny, customer. Did you enter without seeing what kind of shop this is?”

“I… I just came in to hide…”

“Oh, this is our elven-run chain brothel. Out there, well~ compared to those flat-chested elves, those of us with better figures are more popular~”

“What? A brothel? How did I end up here? No, I have to leave.”

Being caught by Ann here would be a disaster. If Church personnel were found in a brothel within Church territory…

“Oh, you’re leaving already, customer? Stay a little longer, I’m very good with water magic~”

“Next time, definitely next time…”

Luo Yuxi tried to pull away from the elf, wanting to escape. She had a bad feeling about this place. But she couldn’t break free.

“Oh dear, this is not good~ You smell so good, customer. Can I lick you~?”

“????”

Luo Yuxi froze, her premonition coming true. The elf’s eyes turned heart-shaped, goat-like horns appeared on her head, and a black, spade-tipped tail wrapped around Luo Yuxi’s waist.

“Really, Master’s orders are absolute, but… but I can’t resist. It’s your fault, you look so delicious~”

“What the heck, an elf turning into a succubus?!”

Luo Yuxi was stunned. A succubus in the Church’s central city? Why did she encounter succubi every time she visited an elf shop? Were they all crazy?

“I’m going to pour all my magic power into you. Just thinking about it makes me excited~”

The succubus wagged her tail excitedly, the tip already slipping into Luo Yuxi’s habit. Luo Yuxi tried to kick her away, but her ankle was grabbed, her shoe coming off.

“Such beautiful feet, they look delicious too~”

“So the game’s settings are still accurate in this world…”

The succubus played with her stocking-clad foot. Luo Yuxi didn’t dare move. Although she could probably defeat her with Holy Flame, she didn’t know if there were other succubi around.

“Found… you…”

“Hmm?”

Just as Luo Yuxi was about to succumb to the succubus’s advances, the door opened. Both of them looked towards the newcomer. Luo Yuxi had never seen the twintailed girl, Ann, look so cute. Ann, who had been searching for Luo Yuxi, saw the two in a compromising position.

“You used Holy Light to escape, how sneaky! Eh? Who is that on you?”

“Thank goodness, Bishop! Save me, she’s a succubus!”

“Hmm? Don’t…”

“Eh?”

Luo Yuxi was stunned. Ann, arms crossed, wasn’t going to help. The succubus was practically on top of her, shouldn’t a bishop, especially the Seat of Justice, intervene?

“Although it’s unjust, but you’re being violated by a foreign race, there’s nothing I can do~”

Luo Yuxi heard the word “scheming” in Ann’s voice. This supposedly righteous bishop was now acting like this?

“If you die, the Church will have no choice but to declare war on the witches. Don’t worry, after you’re done, I’ll report that you died a glorious death resisting a foreign enemy…”

“Does this befit the Seat of Justice?!”

Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected this. She had thought Ann was her savior, but the succubus just wanted to defile her, while the bishop from her own faction wanted her dead.

“Oh my, judging by her attire, she must be a bishop. Your companion isn’t going to save you. Such a pretty face, but such a tragic end~”

“Hmph, after you’re done with me, you won’t leave alive either. Heh, if you want to have fun, do it now…”

…

 

Chapter 48: I Feel Like I’ve Forgotten Something

After some playful antics, Yu Keke and Yun Keke fell asleep on the comfortable bed. Luo Yuxi sat on the nearby sofa, lost in thought.

“Tsk… what’s going on? I suddenly became a Saintess candidate. Doesn’t that mean I’m competing with the protagonist? This will definitely mess up the plot…”

Luo Yuxi thought about the plot, which, in reality, was already a mess. Ling Shuang had awakened as a witch five years ahead of schedule, Sybil, the elven princess, should have died in the assassination attempt, and she had somehow “kidnapped” two high-ranking members of the Witch Kingdom.

“This is bad. Forget about becoming Saintess, the protagonist probably hasn’t even left the starting village yet!”

Luo Yuxi jumped up from the sofa and paced around the room, wondering if she should visit the protagonist’s village to investigate. But she didn’t even know the village’s name! She wanted to punch her past self for focusing on collecting CGs instead of paying attention to the plot details.

“Tsk, I can only search within the Church. Ask around— Wait, what is the protagonist’s name?”

Luo Yuxi opened the door, intending to go ask someone, but she realized she couldn’t remember the protagonist’s name. After all this time playing the game, she remembered every sensitive spot on the protagonist’s body, her clothing preferences, and how to trigger her “easy mode,” but not her name.

“Forget it, I can only hope the plot hasn’t changed too much. If she’s a Saintess candidate, I’ll eventually meet her…”

Luo Yuxi believed she would recognize the protagonist upon seeing her. After all, the protagonist was like her daughter in the game, albeit a slightly lewd one. But that didn’t diminish Luo Yuxi’s affection. She decided to go for a walk. Despite arriving in Apal, she felt like she had forgotten something.

“What did I forget…?”

Meanwhile, at the border church, Ling Shuang looked at the half-destroyed church in a daze. She had been enjoying some “self-entertainment” in her room, casting a soundproofing spell for optimal experience, and now the church was in ruins.

“Where is everyone? Where’s Sister Yuxi…?”

Ling Shuang went downstairs and saw a group of nuns examining a crystal, while Yuehua Fengyun was playing Old Maid with another nun in bishop’s robes.

“What happened here? Why is the church like this…?”

“Hmm? You are…?”

Yuehua Fengyun, her face covered in white strips of paper from losing the game, recognized Ling Shuang. They were recovering the Greed Witch, so they had to be vigilant.

“Oh, I remember, you’re Luo Yuxi’s sister, right? Why didn’t you go with her?”

“Go where?”

“Oh, it seems we forgot to tell you. Luo Yuxi and the others have been sent to Church headquarters. They should be there by now…”

Yuehua Fengyun glanced at the clock tower in the city center. Ling Shuang’s mind was filled with the thought of Luo Yuxi abandoning her. She was on the verge of exploding but managed to suppress her anger.

“No, calm down, calm down, I can’t cause trouble for Sister…”

“Since you’re not going, you can come with us. We’ll take you along when we escort the Greed Witch back. You should arrive by tomorrow…”

“You lose.”

“Eh?!?”

Before Yuehua Fengyun could finish, she saw the Old Maid card in her hand. Lin Jian remained expressionless, as if it were nothing. Yuehua Fengyun slammed her fist against a nearby pillar. She had been trying to unwind, but she hadn’t won a single game.

“Damn it! Damn it! Don’t you know anything about letting others win?! Let me win at least once!!!”

“The Church laws don’t say anything about that…”

Ling Shuang, watching them play, decided to go back to Apal with them. The magic train tickets were expensive, and she didn’t have much money. As she was looking for a place to wait, she heard a crazed laugh.

“Amazing, amazing, absolutely amazing! It can absorb any kind of energy~”

Ling Shuang saw the Greed Witch, whom she had met at the auction, bound by chains, her hands and feet shackled, her eyes and mouth covered by metal plates.

“This test subject is perfect! I can play with her however I want~”

Yuehua Fengyun, noticing Ling Shuang’s gaze, turned and saw Ping Yue, a crazed look on her face, burning Herolise with a flamethrower. Although the damage was absorbed and reflected back, burning Ping Yue, she still smiled.

“That’s a Punishment Nun. They have a strange obsession with witches’ abilities. That’s why I don’t like dealing with those research department lunatics…”

“Research department…?”

“The Church has been trying to defeat witches for a long time. Researching them is important…”

Ping Yue, after some experimentation, looked at the unharmed Herolise, her expression becoming even more crazed.

[Divine Art: Status Reversal]

“Haa, as expected, I can’t kill her with this ability…”

Ping Yue calmed down, looking at the legendary witch before her, a live test subject. She took a deep breath, suppressing her urge to dissect her on the spot.

“The Greed Witch has been secured. Prepare for departure to Apal…”

Yuehua Fengyun, relieved that Ping Yue was finally done, ripped off the white strips of paper from her face, regaining her usual bishop demeanor.

“Return to Apal. Also, notify the engineering team to restore this church…”

“Understood.”

Ling Shuang, watching the departing group, thought about how she had only used Luo Yuxi’s picture for her “magic” today. When she saw Luo Yuxi, she would use the real thing. She would confront her and ask why she had been forgotten. If the answer wasn’t satisfactory, this wouldn’t end in three days.

“Hmph, it must be those two damn lolis seducing Sister Yuxi…”

Meanwhile, Luo Yuxi, leaving her assigned room, suddenly felt a chill, as if being watched by a demon. Her legs went weak.

“Really, who’s thinking about me again…?”

She muttered to herself, then saw a girl with light blue twintails, a smug look on her face, hands on her hips. Seeing her white robes with gold trim, Luo Yuxi felt a headache. Weren’t bishops supposed to be out on missions? Why did she keep running into them?

“Hmm~ You’re the new Saintess candidate, right~? I heard your skill is controlling witches. Such a devious ability~”

“Uh… isn’t that supposed to be a secret? Is it okay to shout it out loud? Is this bishop an idiot…?”

“Let me, Juliana Megistus Phyllis Maxine Clarissa Ann, one of the 12 bishops, the Seat of Justice, test you~”

“Uh… that’s a long name…”

Chapter 47: Saintess Candidate

Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected this trip to Church headquarters to yield such unexpected results. Qi Yuejiu, seeing Xi Luo still standing there, approached and asked,

“Bishop?”

“I… I want to discuss some other matters with this nun, confidential matters. You can leave…”

Thus, under Qi Yuejiu’s curious gaze, Xi Luo was invited into Luo Yuxi’s room. Although curious about their conversation, as an Inspector Nun, Qi Yuejiu couldn’t eavesdrop on confidential matters. It would displease the Goddess.

“May the Goddess bless you…”

Qi Yuejiu bowed slightly and left. Luo Yuxi looked around the luxuriously decorated room, with its ornate crystal chandelier and divine markings on the walls. Even the guest room was so extravagant, and the double bed in the center was even bigger than the one in her own church.

“This bed is huge! Is it pure silk? So smooth, it could probably fit four or five people… Wait, a double bed?”

Luo Yuxi suddenly realized the problem. They had only given her one key card. She turned sharply to Xi Luo, who was sitting on the sofa, sandwiched between Yun Keke and Yu Keke, who were bouncing around. Xi Luo, her identity exposed, looked small and helpless, afraid to move.

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on? Why did you only arrange one room? Can’t you see there are three of us?!”

“Uh! Th-That’s because of some special reasons…”

Luo Yuxi stormed over to the sofa and grabbed Xi Luo, staring at her masked face. Even with the mask, she could sense Xi Luo’s nervousness.

“Because of your special ability, these are two Second Order witches, after all. It wouldn’t be good if they lost control, so we arranged a smaller space. And even if they do lose control and make some requests, it would be more convenient…”

“Hmm???!! What do you mean?”

“Well, that… that is… for your special nighttime activities, a bigger bed…”

“You…!”

Luo Yuxi wanted to punch this Lie Witch. Special nighttime activities? Did they think she was having nightly orgies with the loli witches? She felt a headache coming on.

“Wow, so soft~ Big sister, this bed is so comfortable~”

“Little Yun… don’t jump on the bed…”

Luo Yuxi turned and saw Yun Keke bouncing on the bed. Yu Keke also looked tempted, but managed to restrain herself. Yun Keke, noticing Luo Yuxi’s gaze, smirked.

“Come on~ Big sister~ Come on, like last time, make my bottom hurt~”

“Make it hurt…”

Luo Yuxi didn’t understand at first, but then she heard Xi Luo repeat the phrase, and she instantly understood.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense! I didn’t! I’m not!”

“Miss Luo Yuxi, no need to explain. You liking witches is a good thing for me, at least I’m not in danger. But this kind of thing, selling your body…”

“I told you, don’t believe her!”

Luo Yuxi looked at Xi Luo, who claimed to understand while her fidgeting hands betrayed her true thoughts. Luo Yuxi loomed over her.

“Take it off…”

“Eh?”

“I said, take off your clothes…”

Xi Luo thought she had misheard, but seeing Luo Yuxi’s serious expression, she desperately hoped it wasn’t true. Yun Keke, hearing this, jumped off the bed and approached curiously.

“Is something fun happening~? Big sister, you can’t hide it from me~”

Xi Luo panicked. She had just wanted to live a peaceful life in the Church, disguised as an ordinary nun, after making too many enemies in the Witch Kingdom. Although the Church was also dangerous, at least life was comfortable. But now, not only was her identity exposed, but she was about to lose her virginity as well.

“Sob… my body is poor, it doesn’t feel good to the touch, please spare me…”

“Just take it off, why so much talk? Do you want me to help you?”

Luo Yuxi walked over and ripped off Xi Luo’s mask. A delicate and cute face was revealed, her dark gray hair and eyes captivating. Although Luo Yuxi wasn’t on the Church’s side and had mostly captured witches in the game, she had to admit, the 12 bishops were all beautiful.

“Sob… please be gentle, I’m afraid of pain. Or maybe just touch my stomach, it’s very sensitive…”

Xi Luo wiped away her tears, oblivious to Luo Yuxi’s stunned expression. Luo Yuxi thought, She’s so cute, why did she always wear a mask in the game?

“Is big sister happy to see a new toy~?”

“Eep!”

“She does look cute. Big sister, can I play with her first~?”

Yun Keke looked at Xi Luo, a dangerous aura emanating from her. Xi Luo, feeling the pressure from the 2nd Order witch, was speechless.

“Go away, go play with Little Yu. Little kids shouldn’t be involved in this…”

“Tsk…”

Luo Yuxi shooed Yun Keke away. The little witch was about to faint from fear. Luo Yuxi thought, Well, these two are dangerous.

“Don’t worry, I just want you to do me a favor~”

“Nun Luo… no, Lady! I’ll do anything, just please spare me! My body isn’t good, it’s rough to the touch, and the experience won’t be good!”

“Really? I think your skin is quite nice…”

“No, no, it just looks nice, it’s actually very rough, it’ll dirty your precious hands!”

“I think it feels nice…”

“!!!”

Xi Luo suddenly realized her gloves were off, her delicate hands being held and played with by Luo Yuxi. She panicked, thinking, Is she going to control me? What if she lied about the limited capacity? What does it feel like to be controlled? Will I lose my virginity unconsciously?

“Oh my, sorry, I couldn’t help myself~”

“I-It’s… okay…”

Luo Yuxi released her hand. Xi Luo, after confirming she wasn’t being controlled, sighed, thinking, She must think I’m not good enough because I’m too weak. She looked at the two 2nd Order loli witches behind Luo Yuxi. Although they looked harmless, the oppressive aura made her feel frozen.

“We just want you to keep an eye on the Saintess candidates, or potential candidates…”

Luo Yuxi wanted to just tell her the protagonist’s name, but she had always projected herself onto the protagonist in the game, she couldn’t remember her name. She regretted not memorizing it.

“So you already know. As expected of someone with such an ability, you can even deduce the Church’s movements…”

“Hmm? Deduce? Deduce what? And what movements is the Church making?”

“She’s still hiding things… so terrifying…”

Xi Luo looked at Luo Yuxi, finding her even more unfathomable. She hadn’t even explained the situation, yet Luo Yuxi had already instructed her to investigate the Saintess candidates. Luo Yuxi, confused, looked at her. She had just asked Xi Luo to find someone, what did she know?

“The Church has classified your ability as S-rank. Only the higher-ups and a few special personnel know about it…”

“Well, that’s to be expected. An ability to control witches does sound scary…”

“As expected, you guessed it…”

Luo Yuxi thought, They actually believed my lie. Were they smart, or were the higher-ups just idiots? But then again, a witch had become a bishop, the Church was truly arrogant.

“It’s not a big deal, really. You were so surprised just now…”

“So you’ve also been listed as a Saintess candidate, a popular one at that.”

“Huh???!!!”

Xi Luo’s words stunned Luo Yuxi. She had thought the 12 bishops wanted to meet with her, but how did she suddenly become a Saintess candidate? That didn’t make sense. In her memory, Saintess candidates were all second only to bishops in strength, and even those with lower levels possessed powerful inherent skills.

“Th… that’s not right, how can I be compared to those—! No, wait, the ability to control witches is quite broken…”

“We’re alone here, you don’t have to keep up the act…”

“Ah, I’m not acting! I really don’t know!”

Although her ability was fake, Luo Yuxi couldn’t admit it. How would she explain the two lolis behind her? Would she be accused of betraying the Church? Xi Luo, seeing Luo Yuxi lost in thought, occasionally glancing at her, thought she was waiting for a response.

“In that case…”

“Alright, as long as Nun—no, Lady Luo, you don’t expose my identity, I’ll play along. From today onwards, I, the Lie Witch, Bishop of the Seat of Honesty, will be your eyes and ears. I hereby pledge my allegiance to you…”

“?????”

Chapter 46: Bishop? Witch?

Luo Yuxi looked at the girl before her, confused. Even though the girl had revealed her identity, Luo Yuxi couldn’t place her. With her near-perfect CG collection and knowledge of the game, she should remember any character that fit her XP.

“Um… Bishop, Seat of Honesty, right? But why are you wearing a mask? And your clothes…”

The girl before her, the protagonist, wore not only a metal mask but also a large leather coat over her bishop’s robes, completely covered from head to toe, even wearing thick black gloves. Luo Yuxi wondered if she would get heatstroke.

“Um, does this bishop always dress like this…?”

“I don’t know. She usually dresses normally. I don’t know why she’s dressed like this today…”

Qi Yuejiu’s answer only deepened Luo Yuxi’s confusion. None of the 12 bishops in her memory dressed like this. She searched her memories for information about this bishop. The Seat of Honesty supposedly possessed the “Eye of Truth” skill, which was why she was chosen as a bishop.

[Ding]

[Xi Luo]

Occupation: Bishop
Affiliation: Church
Skills: ???
Title: Seat of Honesty, One of the 12 Bishops (Lie Witch)
Affection: —

[Due to this character’s abnormally low affection towards you, it has been recalculated as Fear Value.]

Fear Value: 40%
Order Level: 7th Order

“7th Order, quite high. Why is she afraid of me? Wait, Lie Witch?!”

Luo Yuxi’s eyes widened as she saw the title. She looked up at the heavily clothed Xi Luo, the Seat of Honesty.

“Is the panel malfunctioning? Wait, the game didn’t mention this…”

Xi Luo, seeing Luo Yuxi’s confused expression, panicked, thinking, Did she discover something? She regretted her sudden change in behavior, it was too suspicious. Luo Yuxi opened her mouth to speak, but hesitated and closed it again.

“In the game, although she supposedly had the Eye of Truth skill, she never used it in the story. Is this also a correction…?”

Qi Yuejiu, seeing the silence between them, decided to break the ice. Yu Keke tugged at Yun Keke’s clothes.

“Little Yun…”

“Shh, let’s talk to big sister later when we’re alone…”

Luo Yuxi noticed their interaction, thinking, As fellow witches, they must have sensed something. But she couldn’t believe a witch, only 7th Order, could become a bishop. She became intrigued by Xi Luo.

“We can’t just stand here. Bishop, shouldn’t we take Nun Luo Yuxi to rest? She’s been on the magic train for a long time…”

“Okay.”

Xi Luo quickly agreed. Originally, Lin Jian was supposed to be the escort, but she had to stay at the border to deal with the Greed Witch and the escort mission.

“This nun can control witches, what if…?”

Xi Luo had been hiding within the Church. She had scammed too many people in the Witch Kingdom and had to flee, so she found a position in the Church. But the witches she had scammed found her, and to protect herself, she exposed them, making up the “Eye of Truth” to explain how she could identify witches.

“My peaceful days are over. She looks weak, but she has such a powerful inherent skill, controlling witches? That’s broken!”

Xi Luo had hoped Luo Yuxi’s ability was a lie, but seeing the two witches behind her, she felt despair. The Witch Kingdom had plenty of 3rd Order witches, even a few 2nd Order ones.

“The twin Love and Hate Witches are actually being controlled? My identity must have been exposed…”

[Fear Value: +5%]

Xi Luo walked ahead, occasionally glancing back at Luo Yuxi, afraid of being controlled. Luo Yuxi was confused. She hadn’t done anything, not even revealed that she knew Xi Luo’s secret, yet her Fear Value had increased.

“Um… Nun Luo, I’ve heard about your inherent skill from the other bishops. I’d like to know more details, so we can formulate plans for future battles against witches. For example, can you tell me its activation conditions…?”

“Hmm? Activation conditions?”

“C-Could it be that you can control any witch you see?!”

[Fear Value: +5%]

“Oh my, of course not. I have to touch them~ Otherwise, wouldn’t my skill be too broken~?”

“Th… that’s true, that would be too broken.”

Xi Luo’s voice trailed off. Luo Yuxi sensed her calming down, her Fear Value no longer increasing. She finally understood.

“She actually believes I can control witches. That’s why she’s afraid…”

They arrived at a room. Xi Luo rummaged through her thick clothes, ignoring the whispers of the passing nuns about her strange attire.

“This is your room. Please stay here until the bishop meeting is over… Here’s your key card…”

Xi Luo pulled out a golden card. As Luo Yuxi reached for it, Xi Luo suddenly withdrew her hand and turned to Qi Yuejiu.

“You, hand…”

“Eh?!”

Qi Yuejiu, surprised, extended her hand. Xi Luo placed the key card on her palm. Both Qi Yuejiu and Luo Yuxi were confused. Xi Luo nudged Qi Yuejiu.

“Give it to her…”

“Ah?! Oh!”

Qi Yuejiu quickly placed the card in Luo Yuxi’s hand, wondering why the bishop didn’t hand it to her directly. She must have her reasons.

“Then please enjoy your stay in Apal. I’ll inform you of any news from the Church…”

“Okay, thank you for your trouble~”

Qi Yuejiu turned and walked towards the stairs. Xi Luo, seeing her leave, was about to rush after her when Yun Keke blocked her path.

“Bishop, don’t be in such a hurry. I still have many questions for you~”

“Big sister, she smells like a companion…”

Xi Luo panicked. She was only 7th Order and had become a bishop through lies and her non-existent “Eye of Truth.” She looked warily at Luo Yuxi.

“What do you want? Using force within Church territory is against the rules!”

“But Bishop, you even had someone else hand me the key card. Do you hate me? If not, would you shake my hand~?”

Luo Yuxi knew Xi Luo was afraid of her. Why try to improve their relationship when she could use this to her advantage? She would deal with this witch the way witches should be dealt with, especially since this Lie Witch was the Seat of Honesty, one of the 12 bishops.

“So you’ve seen through me…”

“I know about your inherent skill, that’s why I asked about its activation method. So, do you dare shake my hand, Bishop~?”

[Fear Value: +5%]

Xi Luo avoided Luo Yuxi’s gaze. Although she was attracted to her angelic appearance, the fear was overwhelming. She was almost wetting herself. She had just wanted to slack off, and now she had encountered her natural enemy.

“What do you want? Are you going to control me…?”

“Ahem, as you can see, my Order level is quite low, so my ability hasn’t fully awakened yet. Controlling these two is already quite taxing…”

Xi Luo thought, So she can only control a limited number of witches. I still have a chance. But Luo Yuxi’s next words crushed her hopes.

“But for those who are useless, if I can’t control them, I can just destroy them. If I reveal your identity~”

“You, you, you!”

Seeing Xi Luo’s panic, Luo Yuxi felt a sense of satisfaction. After so long in this world, she could finally feel triumphant. By controlling this Lie Witch, she could have her search for information about the protagonist at Church headquarters. Luo Yuxi leaned closer and whispered in Xi Luo’s ear,

“You wouldn’t want those high-ranking members of the Church to find out you’re a witch, would you~?”

“!!!”

Chapter 45: Apal, the Holy City

With a rumbling sound, Luo Yuxi woke up and looked out the window, stunned by the sight before her. Just like in the game, the city built among mountains had been transformed into a fertile basin by the Goddess’s three divine pronouncements. This was Apal, the most powerful city of the Church.

“It’s completely different from the game, much more prosperous. Well, it was just a background in the game, it can’t compare to seeing it in person…”

[Respected passengers, the magic train has arrived at the Holy City of Apal. Please gather your belongings and disembark in an orderly fashion.]

The announcement snapped Luo Yuxi back to reality. She marveled at the advanced technology, stroking the leather seat beneath her, then nudged the two lolis sitting opposite her.

“Alright, wake up, we’re here. Don’t you want to find your mother?”

Yun Keke woke up first, looking around in confusion, then stretched and stood up. Yu Keke was still sleepy-eyed. It couldn’t be helped, even Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected to experience the feeling of a long-distance train ride in another world.

“Mmm… are we there yet? I feel like I slept for a long time…”

“Roar! I feel so energized! Let’s have a brawl~”

As Luo Yuxi led the two off the train, she saw a nun holding a sign with her name on it. Luo Yuxi thought, That’s pretty straightforward, considering I brought two witches with me.

“Um… I’m Luo Yuxi, you must be looking for me…”

The nun looked at Luo Yuxi and the two lolis behind her and immediately realized who they were. She lowered the sign.

“We’ve been waiting for you, Lady Luo Yuxi. I’m the Inspector Nun in charge of receiving you. My name is Qi Yuejiu…”

“Lady? Ah, are you talking to me?”

Luo Yuxi realized that the nun’s outfit was different from hers. She wore a black habit and an Inspector Nun badge. Luo Yuxi was confused. As a Direct Nun, she was at most an equal in rank. Inspector Nuns were like internal affairs officers, a higher rank. Why was she being called “Lady”?

“Lady Luo Yuxi, we’ve heard about your deeds. Repelling the Lust Witch in a battle between Second Order powerhouses, protecting the trainee nun who went to rescue you during the witch battle, and…”

“Wait, wait!! I understand what you’re saying, but why does it sound so exaggerated coming from you?!”

“Lady, don’t be so modest. As a Direct Nun from the border, you have such impressive achievements. You’ve become a role model for us nuns~!”

“Ah, no, I’m not, don’t say that!”

Luo Yuxi looked at the starry-eyed Qi Yuejiu, wondering how she deserved such admiration. Yun Keke, hearing this, smirked, a mischievous idea forming in her mind.

“Big sister is even more amazing than that. Facing dozens of Second Order witches, she fought effortlessly~”

“What! She can handle dozens of Second Order witches at once?!”

Luo Yuxi reacted instantly, pulling Yun Keke into a hug and burying her face in Yun Keke’s chest. Yun Keke, caught off guard, inhaled the peach fragrance. Faced with this attack, which had almost defeated Ling Shuang, she understood Luo Yuxi’s true power.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense, how could I be that strong? If I were, I would have been chosen as a Saintess. And fighting dozens of Second Order witches? That’s obviously fake~”

“Oh, right. But your other achievements must be true, right? Don’t worry, we’ll spread the word~!”

“No! That’s not what I meant! Are you even listening to me?!”

“Lady, please follow me. Apal is a vast city, it’s easy to get lost without a guide…”

Qi Yuejiu’s starry-eyed expression turned serious. Luo Yuxi sighed, thinking she would explain later. Everything was too exaggerated.

“Alright, let’s go. We’ll find your mother after we settle down~”

Luo Yuxi turned and patted Yu Keke’s head. Yu Keke leaned into her touch, seemingly enjoying it. Then, she pointed at Yun Keke, who was still in Luo Yuxi’s arms.

“Big sister, Little Yun seems to have fainted…”

“Huh?!”

Luo Yuxi quickly released Yun Keke, who was lying peacefully in her arms, as if without a care in the world.

“So big… so white… so much southern hemisphere…”

“Wake up! Wake up, Little Yun!”

“I see my other mother waving at me from heaven…”

After some effort, Yun Keke finally came to, but the stimulation from those two massive weapons was too much. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected her attack to be so effective. I shouldn’t use that move unless absolutely necessary. Yun Keke looked at Luo Yuxi in shock.

“Big sister’s are so big… not even on the same level…”

After the small incident, the three followed Qi Yuejiu. Looking at the giant Goddess statue in the city center, bathed in holy light, as if alive, Luo Yuxi thought, It’s even more magnificent than the one in my church.

“This statue was sculpted in the image of the Goddess when she descended and delivered her pronouncements. It’s an important landmark of Apal…”

Qi Yuejiu patiently explained the sights to the curious trio, enjoying her role as a tour guide. Luo Yuxi thought, This is better than any vacation. The city was beautiful and bustling, a sight she had never seen before.

“Living in Apal must be wonderful~”

“Really? I haven’t noticed. It’s just less boring than my hometown…”

Qi Yuejiu looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected the Inspector Nun from the game to be so friendly. In the game, she would punish the protagonist for even the smallest mistakes.

“It seems the game’s events are being fleshed out…”

Luo Yuxi was thinking about how to bypass the guards and find the protagonist, or how to confront the bishops and ask about Yun Keke and Yu Keke’s mother.

“You must be Luo Yuxi…”

“Hmm?”

A figure suddenly appeared before Luo Yuxi, blocking her path. Qi Yuejiu bowed respectfully. Luo Yuxi, seeing the girl’s white clothes with gold trim, instantly understood. Another bishop.

“One of the 12 bishops, the Seat of Honesty. Allow me to accompany you on your journey~”

Chapter 44: To the Church Headquarters

After Yuehua Fengyun’s treatment, she stood up and moved her limbs. Luo Yuxi knew her image was completely ruined. Yun Keke, the culprit, was watching the commotion with amusement, even mimicking a cat’s movements.

“Meow, meow~ Big sister, don’t I look cute~? Do you want to rub my belly~?”

Luo Yuxi was about to explode. If it weren’t for Yuehua Fengyun’s presence, she would have given Yun Keke another spanking.

As Luo Yuxi was thinking of an explanation, a group of nuns entered. Yuehua Fengyun looked at them without any intention of speaking. Luo Yuxi noticed their outfits were different from her traditional black and white habit. Theirs were pure white.

“Punishment Nun Ping Yue, greetings, Bishop…”

“You’re too slow. At this rate, the witch would have escaped.”

Yuehua Fengyun showed no warmth. Ping Yue simply nodded and went to the ice crystal encasing Herolise. Hearing her name, Luo Yuxi suddenly remembered something important: in the game, it was Ping Yue who, during her patrol, discovered the protagonist with the Goddess’s blessing and brought her to the Church.

“If I ask her, I can meet the protagonist! Then I can push all the witch problems onto her, and I’ll be safe!”

Luo Yuxi was about to approach Ping Yue when Yuehua Fengyun blocked her way, hands on her hips.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“I… I want to ask that nun something…”

“Ask what? You’re all packed, let’s go. They’ll handle things here…”

Yuehua Fengyun grabbed Luo Yuxi’s wrist, clearly not wanting her to talk to Ping Yue, or any other nun for that matter. Luo Yuxi looked at her in confusion. She just wanted to ask a question, why the rush to headquarters?

“Just one question, then I’ll go! Hey! Bishop, don’t push me…”

Before Luo Yuxi could finish, she was bundled up and thrown into a carriage heading for the magic station. Yun Keke, trying to join the fun, was also thrown in. Yu Keke, more obedient, simply nodded at Yuehua Fengyun and boarded the carriage.

“Go to the magic station, take Line 14, it goes directly to Apal. The Church headquarters is there. Just give your name.”

“But I still have questions…!”

“What for? When you get back, everything will be the same, don’t worry…”

“That’s not what I want to ask!”

Luo Yuxi leaned out of the carriage, but she couldn’t ask about the protagonist. If the basic plot hadn’t changed, the protagonist should be a trainee nun at headquarters.

“Then I can cling to her! With my game knowledge and the protagonist’s natural charm, capturing those witches will be a piece of cake~”

Luo Yuxi almost laughed out loud. The game mentioned the protagonist’s natural affinity with others. She could build her own witch harem, and Luo Yuxi could find her own true love. A perfect plan! Yun Keke, seeing Luo Yuxi’s mischievous smile, nudged Yu Keke.

“Hey~ Little Yu, do you think big sister was hit too hard and went crazy?”

“I… I don’t think so. I think she’s just thinking about something happy…”

As the carriage carrying Luo Yuxi left, Yuehua Fengyun looked at Lin Jian, then at Ping Yue, who had just finished drawing a magic circle on the ground.

“A live witch? Wonderful~~”

Ping Yue looked at the ice-encased Herolise, her demeanor completely different from her usual calm self. Yuehua Fengyun watched as she took out heavy restraints from her bag, the magic circle beneath Herolise glowing, the ice beginning to melt.

“Another test subject. Great Goddess, I will become the closest to you~”

Ping Yue looked at Herolise with excitement. The witch everyone feared was just a research subject in her eyes. Yuehua Fengyun nudged Lin Jian, who was expressionless, and whispered,

“Are all your Punishment Nuns like this…?”

“No, she’s special…”

…

Standing on a tall tower, Alice watched the departing carriage, her crimson eyes gleaming. She felt her fangs growing, a flush of excitement on her face, as if she had smelled fine wine.

“My bloodlust period is approaching. I was going to sneak over tonight, but running away is not allowed~”

Alice narrowed her eyes, watching the carriage, then melted into the shadows. In a spacious room, she emerged from the shadows. The maids, seeing her, weren’t surprised.

“Someone, book me a ticket to Apal. I need to be there by tomorrow…”

“You’re not going anywhere, my… sister…”

Alice glared at Isabelle, her nominal older sister, who immediately rushed over to check her body. Isabelle examined Alice carefully and, noticing a slight redness on her hand from sun exposure, immediately ordered the maids to bring medicine.

“Really, I told you not to run around, it’s dangerous outside~”

“Get away, I don’t need your fake concern. This small injury will heal in a few seconds.”

Isabelle, unfazed by Alice’s coldness, took the bandages and ointment from a maid and carefully applied them to Alice’s hand. Alice didn’t pull her hand away.

“Such an ugly bandage, completely unnecessary…”

Alice tore off the bandage and threw it on the ground, stomping on it like trash. Isabelle, seeing her disgust, held Alice’s hand. As a half-blood, although she had weaknesses, she also had strong regenerative abilities.

“It’s already healed, that’s great. No scars either…”

“Who allowed you to touch me?!”

“Ouch!”

Alice pushed Isabelle to the ground without mercy. Although she hadn’t used much force, as a half-blood vampire, her strength was still greater than an ordinary human’s. Alice glanced at a photo of a woman who looked eight parts like her, with the same white hair and crimson eyes, and felt a pang of pain.

“If it weren’t for Mother, you would be a beggar on the streets…”

“Lady Lilith…”

“Don’t you dare say her name!!”

Isabelle, a human, couldn’t possibly be Alice’s sister. Alice’s only family, her mother Lilith, had been severely injured protecting this little beggar she had picked up from the streets, caught in the crossfire between witches and the Church, her body never recovered.

“The only reason I haven’t killed you is because your life belongs to my mother. You don’t have the right to die…”

“I… I understand. I’m forever Lady Lilith’s slave~”

Isabelle felt no resentment towards Alice’s harsh treatment, even a sense of relief. Whether it was guilt or her own nature, being hated by Alice gave her a strange sense of pleasure.

“I’m going to Apal. There’s someone I want to see…”

“No! You’re almost fully awakened! Going to Church headquarters is suicide!”

Isabelle, who had been indulging Alice, now vehemently opposed her plan. Lilith’s words, asking her to take care of Alice, echoed in her mind. She couldn’t let Alice go into danger.

“Sister will agree to anything, anything at all, but not this!”

“I’m just informing you, not asking for your permission…”

Alice took a sip of wine. Isabelle looked at her anxiously. When she was young, picked up by Lilith, she had been captivated by her elegance. Now, Lilith’s daughter was about to go into danger again. Isabelle wanted to chain her to this room.

“Please don’t leave me, Alice… Sister is begging you…”

“Heh, if it weren’t for Mother, you wouldn’t even have the right to call yourself my sister. You think you have the right to order me around…?”

Alice melted into the shadows. Isabelle looked at the photo of Lilith on the wall, her image overlapping with Alice’s.

“Maybe this is wrong. Are my feelings for Lady Lilith also impure…?“
