Chapter 2: Confessed To Right Off the Bat
Luo Yuxi, a true expert in collecting all CGs in the game, had organized all the information within a day of transmigrating. Based on her understanding of the backstory, it should currently be the era of Alyssa I, five years before the protagonist becomes the Saintess of the Church and the main storyline begins.
“Five years, huh? Feels quite long, but will this world follow the game’s plot? Will there be someone controlling things outside, or…”
Luo Yuxi pondered while taking a sip of coffee from the table. Ling Shuang sat obediently beside her. Although the game’s backstory didn’t reveal much about her, the supporting character, Luo Yuxi glanced at the well-behaved Ling Shuang beside her and recalled the ending of her character in the game – being turned into an ice sculpture and kept by Ling Shuang.
“Sigh, I wonder if I’ll go back if I die in this world. They say transmigrators get cheat abilities or something, but I’ve been waiting for a whole day and haven’t received any transmigration equipment…”
Luo Yuxi rubbed her head with a headache. Based on the current timeline, the game’s plot hadn’t even started, so her so-called experience in the game was useless. Moreover, it seemed like only she and Ling Shuang were nuns in the church.
“There are too many things I want to know, but a nun can only learn so much…”
Luo Yuxi stood up and left the room, heading to the main hall of the church. Although the entire church was made of wood, the Goddess statue in the center of the hall was still quite luxurious.
“It’s truly an era where religious and imperial powers coexist. Even a small church can be decorated like this.”
“Sister Luo, what are we eating today? I’m hungry.”
Ling Shuang followed behind Luo Yuxi, tugging at her clothes. Luo Yuxi looked at her cute appearance and habitually wanted to suggest instant noodles, but swallowed her words. After all, she had already transmigrated, how could such a thing exist?
“Ling Shuang, be good~ Sister will make you something delicious~”
“Mmm! Sister Luo is the best~”
Just as Luo Yuxi stood up, a girl in gorgeous clothes pushed open the church door and walked straight in. From her attire, it was clear she was a noble lady.
“It’s almost evening, what is she doing at the church at this hour…”
Luo Yuxi thought that she absolutely couldn’t be discovered as being out of place. She wondered what a nun should do in this situation. Should she go up and talk about the Goddess? But the problem was, she wasn’t familiar with these things either.
“Luo Yuxi~ I, this young lady, have come to see you again. Have you considered what I said last time~?”
“Eh?”
“What’s with that clueless expression? Even if you pretend to be ignorant, you can’t fool me…”
“No… Miss, I…”
“You’re still calling me Miss? Trying to pretend you don’t know me? But I won’t give up on pursuing you~”
Luo Yuxi listened to the girl’s words, as if she had learned some incredible information. However, the other party didn’t seem to want to give her time to react and directly hugged her.
“Since you’ve joined the church, you can’t marry a man anymore. But, but the Goddess of Light didn’t say she wouldn’t bless love between girls, right?”
“But I think love should be taken slowly…”
Luo Yuxi was caught off guard by the girl’s sudden action and could only go along with her words. She didn’t expect the first thing to happen after transmigrating was being confessed to, and by a girl, no less. Saying that marriage between girls is impossible, what a joke. This is a yuri game, the background stories of other characters in the game already have this established.
“Yuxi~ That’s great, you didn’t push me away this time. As long as you agree, I swear in the name of the Lawrence family…”
“Lawrence!”
Luo Yuxi looked at the blonde girl hugging her. Especially after she mentioned that family name, Luo Yuxi, who had already memorized all the female capture targets, instantly remembered that in the later stages of the game, the Blood Witch, a mini-boss, was the second daughter of the Lawrence family.
“Yuxi? Why did you suddenly stop talking? I know this is a lot for you…”
Luo Yuxi broke free from the embrace. Recalling the Blood Witch’s name, Luo Yuxi thought the girl in front of her was the Blood Witch. After remembering the name, she tentatively asked:
“Miss Lawrence… Alice?”
“Mmm… Yuxi… you… what name did you just call me…?”
“I said Miss Alice…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the shocked expression on the girl’s face and had a bad feeling. The eyes that were once full of love were now filled with vigilance. Luo Yuxi was dragged by the arm into a nearby confessional, a place for people to confess their sins. In the small room, she was pressed against the wall.
“Yuxi, I know you’re from the church… how do you know my sister’s name…?”
“Sister?!”
Luo Yuxi listened to the girl’s words and understood what she meant. Recalling the plot in her memory, the Lawrence family was implicated because their daughter Alice was discovered to be the Blood Witch. However, later, due to the eldest daughter Isabelle’s tough methods and deep scheming, the Lawrence family, originally merchants, became a terrifying family involved in underground businesses.
“Oh no, how could I be so careless? Isabelle hasn’t blackened yet, but she’s a top-tier character in the plot…”
Luo Yuxi’s legs went weak as she thought. Isabelle also noticed her unusual behavior. Although she was puzzled by how Luo Yuxi knew her sister’s name, she also felt that she had been a bit scary just now.
“I’m sorry… Yuxi, my family has kept my sister’s matters a secret. Although I don’t know where you heard this name, I hope you won’t tell anyone…”
Isabelle said as she reached out and caressed Luo Yuxi’s cheek as if to comfort her. Luo Yuxi didn’t dare to be careless, afraid of revealing anything. After all, her current identity was just a humble nun. Isabelle looked at her beloved and didn’t say anything more, then slightly bowed and gently kissed the back of Luo Yuxi’s hand.
“Please forgive my rudeness, Miss Luo…”
“It’s… it’s okay…”
Isabelle looked up, wanting to say something more, but seeing Luo Yuxi’s resistant look, she swallowed her words, opened the confessional door, and walked out. Watching Isabelle leave, Luo Yuxi’s body went limp and she sat on the ground. Even though the white stockings on her legs were covered in dust, she didn’t care.
“What the heck, this kind of thing happened right after I arrived. In the plot, Isabelle’s accidentally deceased first love was actually me…”
Luo Yuxi rubbed her head with a headache. It made sense, after all, in the background story, she eventually couldn’t accept Ling Shuang becoming the Frost Witch and, being brainwashed by the church, became disgusted with Ling Shuang, who then turned her into an ice sculpture in the name of love.
“Tsk… Yanderes are so hot… I guess I have to take back what I said. Clearing the game with my eyes closed is impossible…”
After finally calming down, Luo Yuxi stood up, patted the dust off her clothes, and walked out of the confessional. Looking at the Goddess statue in the main hall, she felt like she had seen it somewhere before. But then she suddenly realized that Ling Shuang, who should have been waiting for her outside, was nowhere to be seen.
“Eh? Where’s Ling Shuang? Could she have been scared when Isabelle dragged me into the confessional?”
Luo Yuxi worried that Ling Shuang might have been traumatized, so she decided to look for her in the room. However, outside the church, Isabelle stood expressionlessly, and behind her was Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang had completely lost her innocent and cute demeanor. Her ice-blue eyes were as cold as frost, terrifyingly so.
“I didn’t expect you to be so cunning…”
“Stay away from Sister Yuxi, as far away as possible.”
Though Ling Shuang’s face remained just as adorable, her aura had shifted entirely—gone was the soft, clingy sweetness she’d shown Luo Yuxi. There was even a chilling air around her. Isabelle tilted her head slightly, looking at Ling Shuang in her nun’s habit behind her, and couldn’t help but sneer.
“This is a matter between adults, you little child shouldn’t interfere~”
Hearing the taunt, Ling Shuang tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand. Isabelle could feel the dagger behind her move forward an inch. Ling Shuang really wanted to eliminate her right there. Isabelle could only give in and let out a cold snort, giving up the struggle.
“Don’t worry, Miss Yuxi is also someone I like, I won’t hurt her.”
Hearing Isabelle say she liked Luo Yuxi, Ling Shuang’s eyes became even colder. But she knew she couldn’t expose herself yet, so she could only put away the dagger, let out a cold snort, and released Isabelle.
“Sister Yuxi won’t like you…”
Ling Shuang said and turned back towards the church. Opening the church door, she patted her face, putting away her cold expression as if it had never been there, and put on her soft and clingy expression again, looking so cute that one couldn’t help but want to take a bite.
“Sister Yuxi~”
Ling Shuang ran towards the confessional, wanting to quickly jump into that warm embrace and enjoy her exclusive face wash. But she didn’t notice that when the church door behind her closed, Luo Yuxi was standing behind the door, stunned and barely breathing.
“What the hell, what just happened! What was that look on Ling Shuang’s face just now?!”
Luo Yuxi felt extremely confused. She had originally thought that she had arrived before the main storyline, and was even Ling Shuang’s first love in the background story. With this relationship, wouldn’t it be easy to capture the Frost Witch and then live a comfortable life with a wife and kids?
“Does Ling Shuang… have a two-faced attribute…?”
