Chapter 4: The Scheming Elf
Although evil thoughts had already sprouted in the elf girl’s heart, her face remained a picture of innocence as she smiled at Luo Yuxi and introduced herself.
“I’m so sorry, I was so worried about Meow Meow earlier that I forgot to introduce myself~”
“It’s okay, I’m just a humble nun…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the smiling elf girl, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart. In the game, although the elves of the Mythical Species appeared gentle and kind on the surface, they were all scheming underneath, and usually quite arrogant. A sudden display of goodwill must mean they were up to something.
“My name is Sybil. Can you tell me your name, Sister Nun~?”
Luo Yuxi’s eyes met Sybil’s. She looked gentle and kind, as if she genuinely just wanted to make a friend. If Luo Yuxi hadn’t played through the game’s plot, she might have believed it. Aside from other characteristics, elves had an inexpressible possessiveness towards beautiful things.
When she controlled the protagonist and cleared the first playthrough, she almost fell into the hands of the elves. There was a witch called the Forest Witch, the daughter of the Elf Queen. When Luo Yuxi controlled the protagonist to explore the Elf Forest, she was tricked by the Queen and triggered the first 18+ CG.
“I’m just a nun serving in the church. You can call me Luo Yuxi…”
“Is that so? Since we’ve exchanged names, we’re half friends now, right~ Yuxi~”
Sybil familiarly called out Luo Yuxi’s name and even put her arm around her shoulder, acting like they had known each other for a long time. She didn’t seem to feel anything amiss, but Luo Yuxi could clearly feel the other’s hand moving restlessly.
“But~ Yuxi, your skin is really nice. Even though you’re just a human, you make me feel like it’s love at first sight~”
“Tha… thank you for the compliment…”
As Sybil spoke, her hand slowly moved downwards, trying to wrap around Luo Yuxi’s waist. Luo Yuxi noticed her intention and thought, I’m a master in theory, yet today I’m being taken advantage of by an elf girl.
“Tsk, if I let her have her way, how can I maintain my reputation as a top attacker? I’ll just find a reason to purify her soul, take her to my room, and make her sing ‘Conquest’…”
Just as Luo Yuxi was about to act, another hand grabbed Sybil’s restless hand even faster. Luo Yuxi turned her head in shock and saw Ling Shuang standing behind her. Sybil, interrupted mid-act, showed an impatient expression.
“Who are you…”
“What beautiful hands, but if they’re so misbehaved, it wouldn’t be bad to chop them off and display them in a picture frame~”
Ling Shuang smiled, but the coldness in her eyes made Sybil shrink back, as if she was being stared at by a frozen beast.
“You! You! Let go of me!”
Sybil struggled hard and finally broke free. Looking at her reddened wrist, she was about to say something, but when she met Ling Shuang’s ice-blue eyes, she couldn’t utter a word and even looked away guiltily.
“Sister Yuxi is mine…”
As Ling Shuang spoke, to the astonishment of both of them, she pulled Luo Yuxi, who was two heads taller than her, into a hug. The sudden action left Luo Yuxi no time to react. Feeling the person she liked in her arms, smelling her fragrance, Ling Shuang felt her sanity slipping away.
“Sister Yuxi smells so good, I really want to take her right here, right now, point out all her flaws, and criticize her…”
That’s what Ling Shuang was thinking. After all, Luo Yuxi was completely unaware of her own charm, even going without stockings. Ling Shuang was now full of regret. Seeing Luo Yuxi’s exposed, fair legs, a beauty that belonged only to her, was actually seen by another woman.
“*Tsk, Sister Yuxi, I took your stockings to wash them. I’ve put them on your bed. Leave this elf lady to me…”
“Eh? But…”
“No buts! Go quickly, it’s not good for your legs to be exposed to the night wind!”
Ling Shuang pushed Luo Yuxi out of the hall as she spoke. Luo Yuxi wanted to say something more, but as the hall door slammed shut, she could only shake her head helplessly and walk towards her room. Meanwhile, in the hall, Sybil watched Ling Shuang lock the door and had a bad premonition.
“Alright, Sister Yuxi is gone. Now, we can have a good chat~ Miss Elf~”
“Cha… chat about what? I have nothing to say to you…”
Sybil panicked. She could clearly feel the surrounding temperature dropping, and it felt like she was being targeted by a predator, her whole body screaming danger.
“Miss Elf is a Mythical Species. It just so happens that self-defense techniques are also part of a nun’s required courses. I hope to learn from you, Miss~”
Ling Shuang approached Sybil as she spoke, while Sybil’s entire body screamed “Don’t come any closer!” Luo Yuxi had no idea what was happening in the hall, but recalling Sybil’s earlier actions, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
“Ling Shuang isn’t a gentle and kind pushover, it should be fine. But why do I feel like she’s in a bad mood…?”
Luo Yuxi found her neatly folded stockings on the bed. Although she wondered when Ling Shuang had taken them to wash, the cool feeling on her legs was indeed uncomfortable. After putting on the stockings, she felt a little better. Looking at her stocking-clad feet, she couldn’t help but admire how perfect this body was.
“If this character card was in the gacha, I would have whaled for it. Such a beautiful character only exists in the backstory.”
She touched her face and complained, but then, thinking back to Sybil, she suddenly realized a serious problem. A setting that should have appeared in the mid-game had appeared early, which meant that other Mythical Species must also exist. Luo Yuxi panicked at this thought.
“Elves are still okay, but if I encounter those hostile Legendary Species, I’ll probably be killed instantly…”
Luo Yuxi recalled the dragon race in the game that could destroy countries with a single breath, the blood race that treated humans as pets, and the demon race that had been hostile to humans from the beginning. The more she thought, the more her head ached. Although humans had the protection of the Church, this was a border town after all.
“Tsk, I might as well write a transfer application…”
Luo Yuxi thought and planned. Since she had transmigrated as a nun, she could receive a salary, listen to confessions every day, and provide psychological counseling. It was practically an iron rice bowl. But after a while, she rejected this idea.
“Ling Shuang is the Frost Witch. Although there are no signs of her awakening yet, wouldn’t I be walking into a death trap if I transferred to headquarters…?”
Recalling the powerful individuals hidden within the Church headquarters in the game’s setting, even when the final witch apocalypse CG was triggered, the Church could still preserve the last piece of pure land. It was enough to show that they had the power to hunt witches. Fortunately, there were moderates within the Church, which is why the protagonist had the opportunity to capture the witches.
