“It’s not a curse! It’s not a curse!”

I lifted the saintly woman, whose cheeks were puffy, with both hands.

“This is… a saint?”

The saintess glared at me with burning eyes.

“Yes, I am a saint, you ungrateful bitch!”

“Cardinal, is this little girl a saint?”

I stretched out my arm and offered the saint to Armand.

“Yes, you are a saint.”

He healed his ear with divine power and accepted the saint.

“Was the saint a real person?”

“Aren’t you seeing clearly with your own two eyes right now?”

When Armand stroked the saintess’s head, she shook her head wildly.

“Put this away!”

The saint pinched the back of Armand’s hand and then came down.

“I even gave you a blessing, but are you calling it a curse?”

“Ugh…”

Armand sighed as he looked at the angry saint.

“First, let’s calm down and sit down and talk.”

The saintess nodded at Armand’s suggestion.

“I should first apologize for hiding the reason why you became a woman.”

“Hey, why are you hiding that? So, even if you receive a blessing, you still say nonsense about it being a curse!”

“Saint, please stay still!”

“Ugh…”

The saintess shrugged her shoulders at Armand’s shouting.

“Are you very embarrassed?”

“Honestly, I am very embarrassed. Was there really such a thing as a saint?”

I looked at the saint sitting across the table.

She looked like she wasn’t even 10 years old, as her cheeks were full of fat.

“Saints are real, so you thought they didn’t exist?”

“I thought it was some kind of legend.”

“In that case, don’t go and spread it somewhere, just keep it to yourself. Nothing good will come of the spread of the fact that the saint is here.”

“Okay.”

“Okay, then I guess I should tell you why you became a woman.”

Armand stood up and approached the saint.

“Do you remember the nun you saved from the bullies earlier?”

“So I saved the saint and received a kiss?”

“Yes, you guessed it correctly.”

“But isn’t the saint I see in front of me a child? Didn’t the nun I saw have big breasts and a little shorter than me?”

“That’s me too!”

The saintess sitting on the sofa screamed at me.

“Hey, Armand, give me some holy power.”

“Okay.”

Armand sighed and injected holy power into the saint.

Then, a blue light flashed from the saint’s body, and she transformed into the image I remembered.

“Uh… um…”

When I saw that, I forgot what I was going to say for a moment.

“Did you see it? It means I breathed a blessing into you.”

The saint pushed her chest forward and spoke proudly.

“So, it’s because of the saint that I became like this?”

“Not because of it, but thanks to it.”

“…”

I gritted my teeth and approached the saint.

“Thank me for giving me a blessing greater than the reward for saving me!”

I put both my hands towards the saint.

“Huh?”

The saint looked at my hand approaching her neck.

“Now…what are you trying to do…!”

“This… is a worthy guy…!”

“Ugh!”

I grabbed the saint’s neck and started shaking her violently.

“I am! What trouble did I go through because of this damn thing!”

“Evil! Ouch!”

The saintess grabbed my arm, which was strangling her, and struggled.

“Soaked in medicine! I end up having sex with a man! You also have to take birth control pills! why me! Like this…!”

“Ugh! Armand, save me!”

The saint stretched out her arms toward Armand.

“Mari, stop!”

Armand grabbed my shoulder and tried to stop me somehow, but he was so powerful that he was unable to stop me from grabbing the saintess by the neck and shaking her.

“There! I’ve been having some really weird dreams lately! You don’t know if I’m fucking a girl! everyday…! Always…!”

As I kept getting caressed and kissed by Laurent and then suddenly waking up, stress began to build up.

I didn’t feel sexual desire when I saw women, and recently, because of my dreams, I became embarrassed to even look at Laurent’s face.

When I saw him, I remembered my dream and my bottom got wet.

“Do you know how hard it was for me?!”

“Eck! Ugh! I’m dizzy!”

I grabbed the saint’s neck and shook her, then let her go.

“Ha…”

I flopped down on the sofa.

“Okay… It looks like you haven’t had enough worries.”

“Yes.”

I answered with a sullen expression.

“Then I’ll ask. Have any bad things happened to you since you became a woman?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Then, do you think that you were able to get to where you are now solely because you are good at it?”

“Of course.”

“Do you really think it was your ability that brought you to where you are now from a life where you had nothing to do after the war, just going to bars and gambling houses and not being able to eat a proper meal a day?”

“That’s…!”

“Don’t you think that I gave you my full support because you were blessed by God, and that thanks to that, you knew Count Lajuran and were able to get to where you are now?”

For a moment, I felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer by Armand’s yelling.

It was true that she became his adoptive daughter as he said, and that she saved Pia and broke up with the Rajouran family.

Would I have had this opportunity if I had remained as Fernand?

“Tell me again, have only bad things happened to you since you became a woman and received the blessing?”

“I don’t think so…”

Armand looked satisfied with my answer.

“Yes, something bad happened. Even now, I’m still in a lot of pain because of the orange sapphire.”

“…”

“But, haven’t we gained too much to call this a curse?”

After hearing Armand’s words, I looked at the saint.

“Heung!”

She snorted and turned her head to the side.

“I think I was short-thinking.”

I approached the sulking saint.

“Saint, I think my thoughts were short.”

“Hmph…!”

The saintess snorted again.

“Wrong.”

When I apologized again, she slightly opened one eye.

“Do you really think you did something wrong?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, okay. I will forgive you once I see Armand’s face.”

“Thank you.”

The saint smiled slightly and placed her hand on my head.

“Saint?”

“Stay still.”

The saint placed her hand on my head and began to infuse her with holy power.

“You said you were suffering from some dirty drug that I didn’t know what it was, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I’ll heal that.”

“Are you sure? But I wonder if I can take the saint’s holy power carelessly…”

“It doesn’t matter because you can just steal the holy power from Armand.”

Suddenly, I felt like my heart was pounding and crying.

“Thank you… I really appreciate it…”

I knelt before her in tears.

“To be exact, I will give you blessings once again.”

“If I receive the blessing, will these damn aftereffects go away?”

“Of course.”

“Ah…”

I wiped the tears that kept flowing with my sleeve.

“Instead, you will now become fully a woman.”

“To become completely a woman?”

“I think the blessing was not able to fully seep in because I was such a tough soul, but if I receive the blessing this time, I will be complete.”

“I don’t understand?”

“You will know when you receive the blessing.”

“Wait a minute…!”

“Now is the time to completely become a woman in body and mind.”

A blue light flashed from the saint’s hand, and her vision darkened.

“Ugh…”

I woke up with a terrible headache.

“This is…?”

“Are you awake?”

I looked up and saw Armand.

“Yes…”

“How about it? How do you feel about your body?”

A saint suddenly popped out from behind him.

Perhaps because she used her holy power, she returned to the body of a young woman.

I tried moving my body as she asked.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong…”

“Really?”

The saintess grinned and grabbed my chest.

“Aaagh?!”

I blushed profusely and hurriedly covered my chest with my arms.

“G… What are you doing now!”

“Performance is solid.”

The saintess smiled brightly, as if she was amused by my reaction.

“No matter how many women you meet, what should you do if they suddenly touch your breasts?”

“Do you think it went in really well?”

“Sure…”

Armand nodded at the saint’s words.

“Anyway, what on earth was I doing here…”

I grabbed my throbbing head.

“It looks like your body hasn’t adjusted yet. Take a little rest.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re good at greeting people.”

Armand seemed to have become kinder.

“If you received this much blessing, wouldn’t you be able to use your holy power quite a bit?”

The saint sat next to me and stroked my head.

“Sacred power?”

“Something like this.”

The saint gathered holy power in her hands and showed it to me.

“Now that I think about it, I gained similar strength when I defeated the devil before.”

I also followed the saint and gathered holy power in my hands.

“The devil?”

Armand asked with his eyes wide open.

“To gather strength, the devil kidnapped academy students and sucked their vitality.”

“Did the Duke of Orleans summon you?”

“To be exact, a demon that had been sealed during the Mangrovinger Dynasty was released.”

“He desperately…”

“Now that I think about it, what happened to the guy who attacked the monster during the hunting competition? That man was Orléans’ servant.”

“He died less than a day after being imprisoned.”

“You silenced me.”

“He was always like that.”

“Is that why you were sending people to kill me before…”

The saint next to me bit her lower lip.

“Did the Duke of Orléans send an assassin to the saint?”

“Because they were blatantly targeting me, I asked Armand for protection.”

“I see…”

I don’t know what kind of power the Duke of Orléans has that makes him do this.

“But I still feel fortunate.”

The saintess smiled and lightly pinched my cheek.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Is there someone who can kill the devil with holy power instead of me?”

“Do you mean me?”

“Yes, you. From now on, you’ll train yourself to use your holy powers and kill some demons, okay? Do your best.”

“Okay.”

“He’s a good kid.”

I felt strange as I was being stroked on the head by a young-looking saint.
