-Thud!

A heavy object fell to the ground, causing a noticeable vibration. Not just once, but twice.

Even though I may be stupid, the current situation is clear. The nun who tormented me must have split in half, resulting in two bodies collapsing to the ground and causing the vibrations.

If not, then the blood splattered all over my body right now makes no sense.

With nothing visible or audible, the frustration is driving me crazy.

Who could have killed the nun just now? Was it Irina?

-Swish.

“Sister? Are you okay, sister? Oh, it is you, right?”

A hand caressing my body.

Thinking back, it feels like Irina’s hand, but without saying a word, the hand roughly stripping off my clothes filled me with fear.

Despite knowing it’s Irina, the anger emanating from her touch naturally instilled fear in my body.

I reached out my hand firmly, shouting “sister” loudly.

Only then did Irina, who was trying to forcefully undress me, calm down.

As she slowly touched my body, conveying her apology, Irina’s hand was trembling more than ever.

Could it be a trauma related to her younger sibling?

Did her deceased sibling suffer abuse? Seeing how she just killed the nun, she probably saw me being abused by the nun and overlapped it with her sibling.

In many ways, she is like Lily and Helena, with a tendency to be hands-on.

I gently wrapped my hands around Irina’s trembling hand. Do you know how many times I’ve dealt with Lily’s seizures?

This is my specialty.

The most important thing is to make it clear that she is not alone. To do that, I need to wrap Irina’s trembling hand with love.

As I wrapped her hand, she was startled and began to feel my hand. That’s when the most important part ends.

Now, what should I do next?

Realizing that I am not alone, what should I do next…?

Come to think of it, if I do what I did with Lily to Irina, she might become obsessed with me like Lily, which could be a problem.

Even now, she is fixated on me as a younger sibling, and killing someone just like that…

If I do to Irina what I did to Lily… hmm…

I’m hesitant because Irina might not love me but become obsessed with me. In the end, I have to return to Sister Suyeon.

In other words, I have to break up with Irina. But is it right to make Irina depend on me?

Irina’s hand moved nervously in mine.

Yeah, did I do that thinking about it? She’s a bit of a dangerous saint, but…

I don’t like ignoring someone in pain.

Starting from Irina’s hand, I explored further. Every time I moved up, Irina’s body flinched.

When I reached Irina’s face, her wet face was waiting.

Exploring her face, I found her lips and simply pressed my lips against hers.

With my face covered in blood, the first taste of the kiss was the taste of blood.

After the blood disappeared, I felt the softness of Irina’s lips.

After having a relationship with Irina, I realized that she feels guilty about being in a relationship with me.

I always have to make the first move and speak up. She probably thinks of me as a younger sibling.

But if I push her first like this…

-Swish.

Irina caresses my body. But her touch is not sexual; it’s more like a gesture of a younger sibling rather than a lover.

In other words, there is no hint of eroticism.

It’s frustrating. How can she kiss me and still suppress her desires?

My body is burning up thanks to Lily and Helena…!

Irina saw Amelia lying down, and the image overlapped with Nari, who had died after being raped.

Her body began to tremble, and she looked at her own hands.

Bloody hands and the sight of a bloody Amelia.

Irina tried to calm her mind, but the trauma she had buried deep inside started to resurface.

However, it didn’t last long.

The hand of her sister, who should have been cold in death, was warmer than any other hand she had ever felt, warming Irina’s cold hand with its touch.

Irina didn’t want to taint her pure sister’s warm hands with her bloody hands, so she tried to pull away.

But she didn’t want to let go of her sister’s warm hands.

Is this okay?

Irina thought as she felt her sister’s warmth.

She had killed countless people before. She had become a filthy and terrible murderer, beyond just touching dirty things with her hands.

Yet… Yet that merciless hand was captivated by a small and delicate hand that wasn’t even half its size.

It wasn’t about holding hands tightly or using mana.

“I can’t let go…”

Irina, captivated by Amelia’s hand, couldn’t stop the hand that was reaching for her face.

“Ugh!?”

Startled by the sudden kiss, Irina, now aware of Amelia’s condition, gently stroked her back.

Just as she was about to embrace Amelia again to take her for a bath to clean her up, Amelia began to vomit blood towards Irina. Nari’s blood-soaked Amelia and Irina, who began to vomit Amelia’s blood.

Amelia’s bleeding didn’t stop. As blood gushed out every time Amelia trembled, Irina’s mind began to fade.

She just held onto Amelia and headed back to the infirmary.

==

Irina pleaded with the nurses, but their response was the same.

They couldn’t save her. They could only watch Nari die and apologize tearfully.

Knowing that she couldn’t change their minds no matter what she said, Irina simply nodded in understanding.

“…Goddess”

If she was a goddess, could she make it possible?

Her relationship with the goddess was very favorable at the moment.

Handling the power of a saint, she didn’t have to do anything, but once a week, she had to carry out her duties as a saint.

And that was to peacefully end Amelia’s life without suffering.

“Please let me kill Amelia as quickly as possible and save Nari.”

Not knowing when Nari would die, Irina, still holding onto Nari, who was still vomiting blood, ran towards the sanctuary.

Despite recent frequent visits, she couldn’t communicate with the goddess, but Irina opened the sanctuary at the cost of her own life force.

Feeling her life force draining from her body, she briefly felt dizzy but quickly regained her composure.

“Nari will be in more pain now. Just endure a little longer, Nari. I will make it quick.”

As soon as she entered the sanctuary, Irina placed Nari on the altar and began to pray.

As the bright light like the sun entered the sanctuary, just as Irina was about to speak to the saint, the light gathered and turned into a giant sword, which then fell straight towards Amelia’s heart.

Seeing this, Irina raised her mana and clashed her own crimson mana sword against the goddess’s sword aimed at Amelia.

“Hmm? Irina? What is the meaning of this?”

“Goddess, what are you doing to my sister?”

“What do you mean? Irina. The one I brought is Amelia, isn’t it?”

“W-what…”

“Huh? You didn’t know this child was Amelia?”

“Amelia, it’s not. It’s Nari. Call me Nari.”

[Ha. What’s with the sudden change? No, why are you like this? Ha, no. It’s understandable since your appearance has changed like this.]

As blood dripped from Amelia’s body, a shining feather fell, and her appearance began to change.

Amelia, who had a height of about 140, started to grow larger and transformed into an adult.

“N…a…ri…”

Amelia returned to her original form.

Irina was shocked as Amelia, whom she had always thought of as Nari, transformed.

“Unnie… Unnie… I’m in pain… Unnie…”

[Ha… How can a mere human be so beautiful like this? Vomiting blood, feeling pain, pleading – everything is so beautiful. Suffering is also this beautiful. I just wanted to kill her, but I can’t.]

“Nari… Nari…”

-Splash.

“Ahhh!”

[Ha… Even the screams are beautiful. Are you really human? Actually, aren’t you a transcendent being? I should just cut off your arms and legs. Without arms and legs, you’ll have to rely on me, right? Ha… Can’t go to the bathroom freely, can’t eat, can’t move… It’s the best!]

Amelia slowly dying.

“Lina unnie… P-please, save me…”

Nari dying before her eyes.

Irina, watching Nari die as her strength leaves her legs.

I knew. I knew that Nari wasn’t Nari. But the same blonde hair, the same body shape as when Nari died, and the overwhelming cuteness.

I might have fallen for her from the first sight.

Maybe I made excuses as a younger sister because I didn’t want to have lustful feelings towards a child.

Even though we were only together for two days, our relationship was truly that of sisters.

Even in this dying situation, she calls my name and seeks help.

She may not be a real little sister…

Right now, me and Nari, no, Amelia, are bound by a sisterly relationship.

And the goddess is trying to kill my sister. No, she’s torturing her.

How dare she touch my sister…
