Isabelle, who holds the position of saint in the Levank Kingdom, was waiting for someone in her room.

“Why is the 9th day taking so long…”

Isabelle had endured the worst time of her life in the past 6 days. Without Emily by her side to care for her, protect her, and comfort her, she felt lonely, sad, and on top of that, she was dealing with her menstrual cycle.

“Why can’t I go! I’m also a student of the academy…”

Isabelle was very angry about not being able to attend the academy exchange meeting. Well, to be honest, she wasn’t initially angry. But suddenly, Emily made a request to her for the first time.

She must attend the academy exchange meeting. She must go to the Viteum Kingdom. Because her sister is there.

“Will I meet my sister…”

Isabelle was anxious. It was the first time she had seen Emily so eager to meet someone. And it was the first time she had made a request and then disappeared after meeting someone.

Isabelle and Emily were always together, relying on each other, although it was mostly Isabelle relying on Emily. They shared a room, showered together, and ate together.

But now, with Emily going to the academy exchange meeting, they were separated for the first time after meeting. Furthermore, Isabelle had a crush on Emily. Yes, even though they were of the same gender, she was in love.

But Isabelle couldn’t confess her feelings to Emily. Because of her position as a saint. And because of being of the same gender, she kept it hidden.

Isabelle recalled the first time she met Emily while fiddling with her tangled blanket.

When the knights suddenly came to the orphanage and took many children with them, Emily stood out. Crying with her white hair fluttering, she had a cute face. At that moment, Isabelle thought she saw an angel.

So Isabelle helped Emily, who couldn’t adapt to the orphanage, with all her heart, and they became closer than anyone else.

While staying at the orphanage, both Isabelle and Emily underwent mana awakening at the same time.

Isabelle contained mana with a holy white light more than anyone else. Emily contained mana with a strong light more than anyone else.

As soon as they awakened their mana, Isabelle became a saint. Isabelle’s mana awakening was so significant that it had an impact on the entire Levank Kingdom, leading to her being chosen as a saint.

When Isabelle was about to leave the orphanage, she insisted on going with Emily.

The Pope who came to take Isabelle didn’t like her words, but his mind changed when he saw Emily.

The atmosphere surrounding Emily, the way she looked at him, and her mana that rivaled that of a saint.

How could such a being undergo mana awakening without the Pope noticing? Emily’s mana was enormous to the point where he couldn’t tell.

And so, Isabelle and Emily left the orphanage and became a saint and a holy knight.

Thanks to Isabelle’s strong insistence, they lived in the same space, and Isabelle spent her days filled with jealousy.

“Emily’s panty smell was the best…”

Isabelle sighed and held up Emily’s panties. After 5 days of Emily being gone, the scent of Emily was almost gone from the panties.

No matter how hard she tried to smell it, she couldn’t catch Emily’s scent.

Helplessly, she secretly took the chopsticks Emily used. But Emily was so meticulous that there was no scent of her saliva on the chopsticks. However, as she imagined the chopsticks that often went into Emily’s mouth, when she tried to put it into her own mouth…

-Clang!

“Isabelle!!!”

“Ahh!?”

Isabelle quickly removed Emily’s chopsticks from her mouth at the sound of someone calling her and the door opening loudly, and threw them to a place where they wouldn’t be easily seen.

“E-Emily!?”

It was a distance that would normally take at least two days to travel from the country of Viteum to Levank, but when Emily suddenly appeared, Isabelle had to calm her startled heart.

Meeting Emily so quickly, who she wouldn’t have been able to see for at least two more days, Isabelle smiled widely at her and looked at her, but something seemed off.

Emily, who had always been calm and never raised her voice no matter what happened, came in screaming almost to the point of a shout, tears streaming down her face.

“What’s wrong! Emily!”

Isabelle hurriedly approached Emily.

“Emily, what’s going on…?”

Approaching Emily, Isabelle was taken aback by the sight of Emily.

“I’ll treat you first.”

Torn clothes and wounds visible all over. Seeing Emily in a state she had never seen before, Isabelle cursed whoever dared to hurt Emily like this as she tried to treat her.

-Tap.

Emily blocked Isabelle’s hand, unable to do it.

“Emily? Why are you stopping me from treating you!”

“Isabelle… I hope you can treat someone else instead of me…”

“Yeah…? But Emily, your wounds are severe. This is a serious diagnosis.”

Isabelle examined Emily’s body. Who could have caused such wounds on this beautiful body? She thought she would rush over and bring down the wrath of the gods on whoever dared to hurt Emily like this.

The ominous and dreadful black mana emanating from Emily’s wounds.

‘The eyes of the saint cannot overlook this. I will definitely punish the person who possesses this mana. I will make them suffer more than Emily.’

Isabelle made a vow like that, but when she heard Emily’s words, she raised her head in surprise.

“But someone else? Who?”

“I don’t have time to explain right now. We need to hurry. Can you trust me?”

As Emily held Isabelle’s hand tightly with both hands and spoke, Isabelle smiled and nodded.

“Of course I trust you! So who is it? Why the rush? Let’s go quickly.”

Feeling Emily’s warm energy in her hand, Isabelle smiled and laughed.

“Lily!”

Emily raised her head and shouted towards the ceiling.

‘Lily? Where have I heard that name before? Ah. The youngest mana awakened?’

Isabelle recalled the youngest mana awakened that she had heard about when talking to the Pope.

A genius who awakened mana at the age of just 10. But Lily probably lived in the Viteum country where the Academy Exchange was held, so Isabelle couldn’t understand why she was being called here.

But that thought didn’t last long.

Suddenly, black mana appeared from the ceiling to the point of completely covering it.

‘This mana…!’

Isabelle remembered the black mana that had caused Emily’s body to be injured just now. The mana was exactly the same without a single difference.

‘Is Lily the owner of the black mana? Does that mean Lily hurt Emily? I’ll show her what I’m made of when I meet her…!’

And Isabelle, who didn’t understand why mana was suddenly coming from the ceiling.

When the black mana filled the ceiling and suddenly dropped to the floor, Isabelle hugged Emily tightly and closed her eyes tightly.

“Ahhhh!”

“It’s okay now.”

At Emily’s voice, Isabelle cautiously opened her eyes and was once again surprised.

“W-where am I?”

Seeing a completely different space from her room, Isabelle was bewildered. Walls she had never seen before, a floor she had never seen before, a ceiling she had never seen before, and a person she had never seen before were right in front of her.

As Isabelle was flustered, Emily comforted her by patting her head.

“This is the Estelle family.”

“Ah. The Estelle family. I know them. The famous Estelle family in the Viteum country… Wait, Viteum!?”

‘Wait, wait, wait, wait, Viteum country? Wait, how far is the distance that I could teleport here in that short moment? Is that even possible?’

Space teleportation is a magic used to move small objects or important confidential documents, with a limit of about 100 meters even if it’s far.

However, it was used to transport two people, oneself and Emily, over a long distance that would take two days by a fast carriage.

‘How much mana do you have to pour in to make it possible…!’

“Are you awake?”

“Gasp…!”

Isabel, who suddenly arrived in another country, was taken aback by the voice she heard in the midst of her absent-mindedness.

Isabel was startled and looked at the woman in front of her.

Black hair in twin tails that didn’t match her age. In addition, red eyes and a black dress.

She realized that it was Lily, the youngest mana awakening mage of the Estelle family, whom she had only seen in pictures.

‘Am I really in Vitium?’

-Gulp.

“Ah, hello.”

“Nice to meet you. I am Nari Ethel Lily of the Estelle family. I apologize for summoning you suddenly. Let’s get straight to the point. Follow me.”

Isabel, seeing Lily emitting fierce black mana, felt the urge to scold her for hurting Emily earlier.

‘Is she… human?’

Isabel followed Lily and Emily, thinking.

‘How can a person have that kind of mana…! And what’s with that amount of mana. Are there really so many people? Is it a dragon?’

As a saint who received various powers and abilities, Isabel assessed Lily walking in front of her.

The mana that was so dreadful and sticky that she wanted to run away just by being next to it, and the mana that seemed endless. It was mana that couldn’t be compared to herself and Emily.

But why do Lily and Emily know each other? And Lily hurt Emily, but why are they walking and talking together?

When Isabel’s head was filled with confusing information, Lily and Emily’s footsteps stopped.

‘W-what is this…?’

Before Isabel’s eyes, a large door opened, revealing numerous magical spells hanging in the room.

‘Protection magic, enhanced protection magic, sound blocking magic, healing magic, enhanced healing magic, purification magic. How many are there!?’

She had never seen magic installed to this level even in the palace of an emperor in another country or in a cathedral with a pope.

‘Who on earth is inside here?’
