Chapter 129 – Apocrypha – A Saint’s Christmas

Earthly representative of the benevolent goddess of light

From the poor who barely make ends meet with bread made by grinding poor-quality wheat flour and beef jerky that is so salted that no original taste remains, to the aristocrats who enjoy a comfortable life without lacking, there are common things that come to mind when you hear the word saint. It was a concept.

Many people’s eyes and ears were paying attention to the news that Saint Angelica, who had not been active outside since the invasion of a homosexual vampire who revealed the notorious woman last time, had started her outside activities.

Who is the vampire Ispin?

It was a living legend with great anecdotes in many meanings, and it was said that a vampire with terrifying fangs would come and kidnap children if their parents kept crying or did not listen to them.

Although the whole truth has not been conveyed to people, it is a situation that everyone knows, so many high-ranking people let out a sigh of relief when the saintess resumed her outdoor activities.

“The weather is not as cold as I thought.”
“Yes. It is unexpectedly warm when it snows.”

As Angelica stood on her podium and looked around her, her muttered words were overheard by one of her priests who was preparing for her feast, and agreed to stop her work.

“Did you properly clear the snow on the way to the cathedral? It’s a holiday to rejoice in, but it wouldn’t be nice if the whole family slipped and got hurt while attending Mass.”
“I dressed warmly with devout believers in advance and swept it clean.”
“These are the people I’m grateful for.”

As Angelica silently closed her eyes, clasped her hands together on her chest, and offered her prayers, a multicolored, multicolored cluster of lights emerged from her body and circled around her. .

“Oh oh…”
“Such a clear blessing…”

The priests, moved by the image of the saint proving the existence of her goddess right in front of her eyes, also stopped working for a while and prayed. After a short prayer, the accumulated fatigue was relieved like a lie, and the priests energized themselves and went into the final stages of decorating the cathedral.

“Please wait in the inner chamber. You have room until you start.”

Angelica nodded her head at the cautious suggestion of one of the paladins who had followed as her escort. When she entered the boudoir, she saw that the firewood was burning in the fireplace, as if she had prepared it beforehand.

While she sat on the couch and waited for the time to come, Angelica did as she did her habit whenever she had time left that day. She remembered her uninvited guests in her bedroom.

[You still don’t know? Saint Angelica. I was sexually attracted to you.]

Every single word of Ispin, the Vampire Princess, who had a great impact on her monotonous daily life, seemed to remain in her head like a burn mark.

If it hadn’t been pointed out to her, she thought, she might not have even been aware that she was running her finger over her lips whenever she imagined the vampire princess.

The end of her wild and lewd imagination always stopped at the moment when her lips were taken away. After that, it was because the vampire princess was sucked into a rift in a small space that even Angelica herself did not know how to create.

“…I don’t feel guilty.”

After much deliberation, Angelica was embarrassed by the outcome, but she decided that she was not guilty because it was natural for her to rebel against someone who suddenly came in to attack her.

“It’s not even anxiety.”

She was after examining her body and mind with all her means and methods in the church to see if there were any abnormalities. It was safe to say that she was harmed, except that her first kiss was taken away.

“…Crush? It can’t be.”

Who has a pretty face and body even for the same woman to look at? She could accept being a vampire, but she thought it was impossible for her to have a crush on it.

If so, she is already in the past, so why is she caring so much about herself? Angelica’s head was still wandering, unable to find an answer.

She heard a light knock and a voice saying it was time. She thought she had only been lost in thought for a moment, but when in reality she realized that a considerable amount of time had passed, she decided to panic, but with a well-groomed expression and figure, she headed for the podium.

The chapels of the cathedrals in the capital were spacious. It’s not just spacious, and thousands of people could come in at the same time and offer mass.

People were filling the seats as much as the width. Those who had not yet entered the chapel were huddled together beyond the wide open door of the chapel, peeping inside.

When her saintess Angelica climbed onto the podium and stood still, her murmur began to subside. She waited for a few more seconds and when complete silence fell on her. Angelica opened her eyes and smiled softly.

“By the guidance of the goddess, I bless the families of many people I met here with happiness and love.”

As if her blessings of Saint Angelica were not simple words, the group of light that bloomed from her reached everyone who entered the large chapel and those snooping from beyond.

As she looked at the people cheering quietly inwardly, Angelica spoke around phrases about her happiness, and the people also nodded or smiled at her acceptance.

“Love has no fixed form from the beginning. It can be seen that it takes shape only through people-to-people encounters and conversations.”
[Can’t it be between girls? When I read the human bible, it says that love is free?]

While Angelica was talking, there was a moment when she remembered what the vampire princess had whispered and almost stopped her words, but luckily she pretended to drink water and managed to fool her.

The time occupied by the story at Mass on the feast day was not long. Finishing quickly so she wouldn’t get bored, Angelica quickly began the next turn her people were waiting for.

At Angelica’s beckoning, she brought steaming bread and a large pot of hot soup into the chapel. Most front. Middle. It was arranged so that people who listened to the story would not be crowded in the back and outside on a cold day, so that they could receive and eat before it cooled down.

Little children who appeared to be her sisters approached Angelica, who came down from her podium and joined in distributing the bread. The sisters, who carefully received the bread with their cute little hands, looked at each other and smiled happily. Then, he threw a bold question to Angelica, who was looking at her with satisfaction.

“Saintess! In what you said earlier, you said that love has no form! Then! Can I love her sister and me too?”
“Yes? Yes… Sure. Family love is a nobler law.”
“You heard me! Even the saintess is right! Yes?”
“Since even the saintess said that, uh, it can’t be helped…”

Angelica, imagining her normal family love, tilted her head slightly, not knowing what her sister was suddenly talking about, and her sister kissed her sister on the cheek.

“Now my sister and I are married! The saintess is the witness! Understand?”

Before Angelica had time to say anything, her sister screamed and left. Angelica, who was looking at her from the back, saw how lovers hold hands by entwining their fingers, and finally thought that it might be a different kind of affection from a family member.

“Therefore. Why do you come to mind here? Ispin.”

Muttering softly so that those around her couldn’t hear it, Angelica disappeared into another world, the bad girl who stole her first kiss. Remembering Ispin, she handed out her bread to everyone without exception.

When her mass was finished without much fuss and all her faithful had gone, Angelica returned to her room, taking care that the people of her cathedral enjoyed a small supper.

After Angelica made sure that the surroundings were quiet and no one was around, she opened the luggage bag, stood up, and took out an old book from the innermost part. She was an old book with a legend about how the first saint and a hero from another world saved this world.

This time, it was not a big problem because the person who was sucked in after accidentally causing a crack in the space was an opponent who did bad things, but I brought it with the idea that I should study it in case there is a situation where I have to call it back if there is a person who accidentally activates it wrongly and gets caught up in it by mistake. .

“Never… I have no other intentions.”

With excuses that she didn’t know were directed at someone, Angelica took out her new candle, placed it on her desk, and lit it. And as soon as she turned over her bookshelf, Angelica put her hand on her forehead.

It is known that the first saintess and the warrior who were handed down to the world had a relationship between a man and a woman, but for some reason, this old book contained a naked illustration of both women and kissing.

“Are you kidding me? The Vampire Princess went to the library first before entering my bed and changed it… No. There will be no such thing. She seemed pretty confident in her skills.”

Angelica took a deep breath and made up her mind before turning the page and opening the next page.
