Chapter 31.1
Aira was hiding a deadly truth…
That one single sentence shocked me to the core.
What the hell was Aira hiding?
Never before had I felt that Aira was keeping a secret or deceiving me. On the contrary, I had hidden a lot from her…
Could the Status Window be lying to me?
No, that was not possible.
The Status Window wouldn’t lie. It just simply ‘state the facts’. It was a System designed to be like that.
This was pretty much an unchanging truth.
After all, the same thing happened in the original novel.
“Uh-hmm.”
Suddenly, Aira tossed and turned while making a strange noise.
I was terrified! She might have caught me looking at her stats!
“…….”
But, as if it was a lie, Aira once again returned to her deep slumber.
Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. For now, I decided to focus on what I could figure out first.
First of all, this was what bothered me the second most.
「Talent 《Tarantera》: In the Age of aloof Gods and Fairies, a Saintess calmed the wrath of the great spider, and in return was bestowed with a blessing.
Her senses became as sharp as a spider and her ability to see through lies and deceits greatly improved. She also gained an exceptional talent for architecture, art, management and finances.」
This was definitely a great talent.
And it could greatly improve the ability to see through lies and deceits?
Perhaps, it was because of this talent that Aira despised and kept away from the hypocrites inside the Court?
But then, didn’t that also mean that the lies I’d been telling her were exposed?
Maybe my job ‘Actor’ somehow kept them hidden from Aira?
Anyway…
As expected, Aira was incredible.
No wonder why the Villain Hunter Party in the novel couldn’t defeat Aira directly.
It was only when the vicious wave of the masses swelled up that Aira was defeated.
I imagined a lasso around that white porcelain neck.
Then, in the midst of everyone’s angry murmuring, Aira had to wear a sarcastic nameplate around her neck that read ‘The Great Queen of Angmar’….
━Sinner, Aira. Death penalty-!
Finally, she was made to stand on a chair, before struggling like a stringed doll being manipulated by the puppeteer…
“…….”
I didn’t want to witness such a sight.
So, I would not allow that to happen.
* * *
After coming out of Aira’s room, I could feel cold sweat running down my body.
It was chilling… My heart couldn’t stop beating wildly…. I felt like a butterfly escaping from the spider’s web.
Perhaps, I had learned something I shouldn’t have…
And even though I didn’t really find out much, that was how I felt right now.
“Huuu-.”
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
Seuseuseutsseu-.
Then, as if nothing happened, peace was restored within me.
If it wasn’t for my talent《Calm Thinking》, I might have already died when I was still a slave.
So, what should I do now?
I thought about my next course of action.
Tonight was the first evening in Gracia.
After unpacking and completing the formalities, I had nothing to do.
If Marmar was around, I would have asked more about the Status Window, the System, and the Demon King Angmar.
‘Guess I’ll just go to sleep’.
As mentioned earlier, I was weak.
My mental strength might indeed be strong, which I was proud of, but my body got tired easily. Thus, I should take a break if given the chance.
Who knew when I would be able to have an opportunity like this again.
“No, me relaxing?”
This thought was kind of funny.
‘Relax’ was the word that didn’t suit me at all. Did I even have the time for that? Whenever I tried to rest comfortably, it would feel like I was committing a sin.
After all, I was a workaholic.
However, I did know that without rest, a person would eventually break.
In that sense, I should sleep after comforting my brother.
Thinking about the breast sucking session from earlier, I might be able to hit it three times in a row. No… maybe up to four times! For some reason, it seemed possible!
「What a ǀewd idea!
Gained job experience for ‘Casanova’. + 5」
I actually gained some experience! If I [email protected], would it go even higher?
Whoooo-.
The wind suddenly blew on my face.
While wondering where the wind came from, I looked around and discovered that there was an interior garden made squarely inside the corridor of the hall.
The garden had an open ceiling where the moonlight beautifully cascaded down and illuminated the trees.
The holy vibes quickly wiped away my ǀewd thoughts.
“That’s cool…”
Suddenly, I was reminded of the fact that this was a foreign country.
Couldn’t I say that I had traveled abroad?
Though, it didn’t feel that exciting…
“Are you lost?”
Someone then spoke from behind me.
Even with my sensitive Half-Fairy’s senses, I didn’t feel anything prior!
Startled, I quickly turned around and saw someone approaching me with sharp footsteps.
Upon seeing who it was, I got even more surprised.
Because this was someone unexpected.
“It is easy for first-time visitors to get lost here. Like a sheep that doesn’t know where to go, a shepherd has to guide them around.”
“Ah-.”
She wore a long white cloth on her head like Marmar.
Her nun’s robe was spotless and luxurious. Around her neck was a long sash that stretched from her shoulder to chest and hung on both sides of her knees.
“Isn’t that right?”
The woman then brought forth a lamp.
This allowed me to take a closer look at her. Under the lamp’s illumination, I could see something like a black band covering her eyes.
Which could only mean that she was blind.
A blind woman in some luxurious nun’s uniform, wandering the Great Hall of the Church’s main headquarters.
A combination of these three clues flashed in my head, and one existence with an enormous status in the church came to mind…
“Are you, by any chance, Saintess Priga? It is an honor to meet you like this!”
I hurriedly bowed my head.
I wondered if it made sense to bow to a blind nun, but my body instinctively reacted and moved before I could think further.
“Raise your head. I haven’t even introduced myself yet. As expected from someone called a Demon Monk~.”
Huhuhu~ The Saintess chuckled with a very gentle and friendly tone.
I was surprised too.
I hadn’t even introduced who I was, so how did she know I was Theo Gospel?
After all, the title ‘Demon Monk’ could only mean me…
Just then, the woman suddenly reached out with her slender hand and started touching my face and shoulder.
What was going on!?
