Chapter 161 – Victim and Perpetrator?

As Angelica forced herself to eat her jerky, she could not overcome her hunger. She carefully held her jerky with her two hands and gnawed on it, wary of us sitting around her. It was cute, like a herbivore wary of carnivores.

Watching her eating slow down, she thought it was time to ask questions.

Making her Angelica her lover was important, but as long as she was taking her to Yuna’s world, it was necessary to inform her allies about the invasion from here for some reason.

“Angelica. Listen while eating Did you know that Paladins make a rift in the dimension and move races other than humans and pseudo-humans to another world?”
“…What do you mean by that? Paladins do such things?”

When Angelica replied with a puzzled look on her face, Yuna twitched her fingers. Though she laughs when she thinks about it, she too was one of the victims of the migration of her paladins.

“Huh. While gathering magic to return here from the other world, a tribe of orcs came over. I got a testimony that they migrated by the Paladins.”
“Suddenly, it’s hard to believe.”

Angelica gulped down her jerky and wiped her fingers and lips with her handkerchief. Then, as if she realized that Yuna’s mood had changed, she looked at her eagerly and then moved her gaze to me.

“…But you don’t have to lie. Please tell me in more detail.”
“Okay. I’ve heard that too…”

Let’s tell the story we heard from the Orcs. Angelica frowned her fine eyebrows and wiggled her hand resting on her lap.

“Okay. He said he would drive out all heterogeneous people from the continent and make it a world only for humans. So, did you sneak into my bed or kidnap me this time to inform me about these things?”

She smiled her grin as she looked up at Angelica as if she had seen her again.

“No. I simply wanted to have sex with her Angelica.”
“…”

Angelica, as well as Yuna, made an expression that seemed to be absurd. To gain her trust, she told the truth without hiding anything, but she didn’t respond well. She looked at Sia and she shook her head as if to say no more. Angelica let out a small sigh as she looked down at her sullen expression.

“After hearing everything you said, I have some doubts.”
“Doubt? Aren’t you sure?”

As Yuna bent her upper body to express her interest, Angelica met her gaze straight in the eye and nodded her head.

“Yes. The saintess is, after all, the ruler of the ceremony chosen by the goddess. In fact, what we do as an organization belongs to the commander of the Holy Knights and other people.”

Unaware of the circumstances of this place, Yuna looked at me and asked if that statement was true with her eyes, so she nodded her head.

In fact, she was a saint who even had personnel and administrative powers, and she was only fighting against self-proclaimed demon kings. A saintess in a peaceful era like now would only receive the highest level of treatment among her priests.

“Then tell me if you have any doubts. Who is doing this? I’ve talked with the Orcs, but they’re only slightly different in appearance and culture. It didn’t make much of a difference.”
“…”

At Yuna’s words, Angelica put on a puzzled expression.

“I don’t know how much you have suffered or what painful experiences you have had.”

I could see the strength entering Yuna’s body. There was an obvious meaning of refusal. The fight was enough to tell Angelica, who seemed to know nothing about it, but she didn’t flinch and continued.

“So, I will not agree or comfort you with false words. On behalf of everyone in the Goddess Cult, I apologize for what you have been through.”

Angelica grabbed Yuna’s hand with both of her own and raised her divine power. She lit up the inside of her wagon, with a white light shining from her clasped hands. Yuna, who felt that her emotions were about to burst out, looked at her clasped hands and controlled her breathing.

“…What did you do?”
“It’s nothing special. It is just a simple light.”
“What is it…”

When Yuna inadvertently spat out her short words, Angelica looked at her with her benevolent eyes, her lips protruding all the way.

“There are many people who come to me hoping to forget or be healed of their painful past. However, the original heartache is something you have to overcome on your own. Because the words of others do not reach the heart.”

Angelica continued her words, looking at the light clearer than the pure white clouds that emanated from her clasped hands.

“So, that’s how I came up with it. Looking at the pure white light clears the thoughts cluttering her head and allows her to focus fully on the wounds in her heart.”
“…”
“…”

Angelica and Yuna gazed at each other in silence, then almost simultaneously turned their gaze toward a pure white light. After holding my breath for a few minutes, Yuna’s eyes suddenly began to flow with tears.

“Espin, wait… Hug me for a second. It just takes a little bit.”

She hugged Yuna by the shoulders and patted her on the back. Angelica was held in my arms and she looked at Yuna, who was looking at her light while she was crying.

“…I was suddenly so emotional that I couldn’t see it. Sorry.”

Yuna crouched in the corner of her carriage, covering her reddened face with her hands. She looked at Angelica, deciding to let her go until she shuddered in shame.

“So. Who are you suspecting?”
“I am suspicious of the leader of the Holy Knights, Leo. He was a humanist even before he became the leader of the Paladins.”
“A humanist? Ah… I understand without having to explain in detail. One empire. Complete human. And do you feel like a different race that needs to be eliminated?”
“Yes. It’s similar. In the past, I actively insisted on cutting down the different races, but after becoming the leader of the Holy Knights, it seemed that I learned the responsibility appropriate to the position and became quiet, but I guess not.”

Angelica shook her head sadly.

“…On the contrary, since I have the power to execute, I no longer need to speak. We can quietly proceed with the annihilation of this race.”
“Are there any people with you this time around?”
“No. It is in the Holy Kingdom.”

Solve it as soon as you come. Something like that seemed impossible. She didn’t think she could solve it at once from the beginning, so she decided to think that just getting the information this time would be a great harvest.

And although she was shy now, she felt that Yuna’s mood had become brighter. She thought it would be a good idea to arrange a place for Angelica to give her hunters mental counseling.

After that, she sparsely exchanged her words with the vigilant Angelica as we rode in the carriage to the city from which we had departed. Going to Yuna’s world after a few days of travel, and even the counseling of hunters who have just emerged. It was enough time to share many stories.

Finally, the city walls were visible. The guards were on strict alert, but because it was a wagon used by priests, they were able to pass quickly without much waiting.

The carriage headed straight for the cathedral, and as she passed, she could be seen subtly flirting with one another.

Each time, she goes to Angelica and her girls raise her chin with her index finger. Or, seeing that she was interlocking her foreheads with her hands intertwined, she said that she would kiss her sooner or later. Angelica looked at me with cold eyes, as if she thought I was exaggerating.

“Not everyone is trying to do that with women like you do.”
“Really? Wouldn’t it be a surprise if you went to the cathedral?”

Angelica’s eyebrows trembled when she saw my confident look. She seemed unable to bear it, wondering what the hell she was going to see.

“Are you expecting that?”
“…It’s scary.”
“Ah. I see.”

Either that or not. The carriage moved eagerly and stopped in front of the cathedral. No one came to meet us, as we did not know when we would be back.

After telling the two priests who had a lot of trouble working as coachmen to go inside and rest in peace. Everyone got off the carriage together. Angelica tilted her head.

“I thought you would be surprised. I was nervous, but I was surprised.”
“In what way did our saintess think it was unexpected?”
“… I thought the sisters in priestly clothes with nothing underneath would be waiting side by side.”

It was an absurd lewd idea.

“Angelica. I’m afraid of you. As soon as I arrived at the cathedral, I had the lewd idea of ​​entering the cathedral while massaging the breasts of the priestesses lined up on either side.”
“Yes? Didn’t I say that?”
“Our saintess expected that much, so we can’t help it, can we?”
“Stop it!”

Looking at Angelica’s reaction as her ears turn red, puhehe. She does and she laughs. It was cute because it had a teasing taste. When she realized my laugh was a joke, Angelica glared at me, but even that was cute.
