The current Saint Irina and the former Saint Isabelle examined my body.

Due to the torture of the goddess, my body was in a terrible state. First, my arms and legs were cut off by the goddess.

From there, it seemed hopeless as I lost my eyes to the goddess. Is it fortunate that at least my hearing is intact?

Furthermore, they mentioned that my body has changed a lot as it has grown again due to the difficulty. They explained that it might be due to various side effects.

I was curious about what had changed, and they said my chest had gotten bigger.

“It got bigger there!?”

No wonder I felt a heavier sensation in my chest than before, and my tension eased.

Although I could not do anything other than lie down, the examination ended, and our saintesses discussed with Lily.

In conclusion,

Incurable.

It was a shocking statement. Irina cried while holding my chest, and Isabelle also tearfully explained.

Although we sealed the goddess with everyone’s power, the goddess’s severed arms, legs, and missing eyes cannot be healed with healing magic.

The reason being that the goddess does not consider the actions she has taken as wounds in the world, so no healing will work. If there are no wounds to heal.

How unbelievable it was to hear that.

The goddess’s actions are always justified, and even though my arms and legs were cut off, it’s not considered a wound, so healing magic doesn’t work?

Where is the justice in that…

It’s unfair, but that’s the goddess, that’s the god.

I was slightly scared at that moment.

Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life? Unable to see, walk, or even grasp anything.

Living a lifetime relying on someone else for help… It seems too painful.

Lily pondered while gently stroking the sleeping Amelia.

Amelia, who had suffered a lot of pain due to the goddess. In her heart, she wanted to turn back Amelia’s physical time just like before.

However, turning back Amelia’s physical time like before would mean losing the numerous artifacts and souls Lily had collected, not to mention the only goddess’s power in the world contained in the Holy Sword is now gone.

Moreover, Amelia’s current physical condition is not good at all. Even if she somehow manages to gather enough wealth to turn back time, it is doubtful whether Amelia, a mana-less ordinary human, can endure it.

When Amelia’s body returns to its original state, remnants of the drugs and narcotics that were once in her body remain.

It hurts, but for now, it’s fortunate that Amelia doesn’t feel pain due to the remaining drugs and narcotics.

Fortunately, the narcotics were directly manufactured by Lily’s master, Dragon Camilla, so there are no serious side effects, but Lily knows better.

A drug is a drug.

For now, Amelia has reached a state where she must never leave this forest under the protection and blessing of the World Tree.

If it weren’t for the World Tree, she would be in a state close to death.

Fortunately, there are no beings targeting or threatening Amelia now.

As time passed and Amelia woke up, Lily began to explain something to her.

It was none other than artificial arms and legs.

“Artificial arms and legs…?”

To be precise, they were arms and legs made of wood.

“Yeah. They’re magically treated, so they should move like real arms and legs.”

With the help of Irina and Isabelle, Amelia, with her prosthetic arms and legs, was surprised to see them move at her will.

“Wow… they really move? But…”

Amelia touched her body. Despite being exceptional magicians, they couldn’t make her feel the sensation.

“…”

Amelia was touching her own arms and shoulders with determination, but she frowned as if feeling the sensation of a mannequin touching her body.

Although she was touching her legs with her hands, she couldn’t feel anything. She was moving as she willed, but she should have been able to feel the texture.

There was nothing there.

Amelia almost cried at the sense of disconnection, but she held back the tears.

She didn’t want to show only a sad expression when she had made herself like this for her own sake.

After taking a deep breath, Amelia hugged Lily in front of her and said, “Thank you, Lily.”

“I’m sorry. I can only do this much. And this.”

Lily carefully tied a black blindfold around Amelia’s eyes.

“Lily? What is this? Uh…? Huh? Lily…!”

At first, Amelia was puzzled as to why Lily was blindfolding her when she couldn’t see. So, she worried if she looked grotesque when her eyes were revealed to the goddess, or if she looked grotesque now.

She was startled when her eyes slowly began to see.

‘No. It’s not that my eyes are starting to see…’

“It’s a magic blindfold.”

The blindfold, made using surveillance magic, allowed her to see as if she had vision in front of her.

Of course, it wasn’t as clear. However, being able to distinguish who was in front of her in the pitch darkness where even light couldn’t be felt was happiness itself.

Amelia slowly stood up.

Although she was slightly uneasy on her legs that she wasn’t used to yet, she quickly adapted. Standing up straight, Amelia hugged each person in the room one by one.

Each time she hugged someone, their faces turned red, making Amelia wonder if she had done something wrong. But after the hugs ended, she understood the reason.

‘Oh, I was naked…!!!’

With her enlarged chest and slightly exposed belly and embarrassed nipples, Amelia quickly covered her body.

Back to the peaceful daily life.

Now that I could move on my own, I started working as a maid again. Despite Lily and everyone else’s opposition, I insisted that I must do it.

I am Amelia. And I am Lily’s maid. This will never change.

Moving arms and legs. Uncomfortable, but at least I can see. This is enough to work as Lily’s maid.

While before it was work in the Estelle family, now it was work in the World Tree.

I slowly began to learn the tasks within the World Tree from Eia. Although I hadn’t been a maid for a long time, I quickly adapted due to my previous experience.

The first thing I had to do after getting up from Lily’s embrace was to change my clothes.

Actually, it wasn’t clothes.

As I undressed, Lily hugged a pillow next to her.

After patting Lily’s head, I first removed the opera gloves and thigh-high socks I was wearing.

As I took off the opera gloves that reached near my shoulders and the thigh-high socks that covered half of my thighs, the wooden hands and legs I had made were in sight.

At first, it was so awkward and uncomfortable to see them, but now I had adapted quite well.

I put the opera gloves and thigh-high socks I had been wearing to bed in the laundry basket and put on everyday clothes.

Then, I put on panties to keep the thigh-high socks from falling down and a sheer decoration around my neck to keep the opera gloves from falling down.

‘Ugh… It’s too revealing…’

I always thought it was too revealing when I looked in the mirror, but with no clothes on, only opera gloves, thigh-high socks, and a neck decoration on my body, it was too revealing.

I couldn’t wear clothes that covered my body.

There were two reasons for this.

The first reason was because of my chest.

My chest was too sensitive, so I couldn’t wear a bra to feel pleasure from the fabric.

Alright, that’s fine up to that point. But the biggest issue lies elsewhere.

It’s the second problem.

The second problem is all about vitality.

My body, returned to its original state, is a complete wreck. A body in a state of ruin due to lack of vitality.

I’m sustaining it with the protection and blessings of Sister Se-gyeosu. And in order to fully receive that protection and blessings, there should be nothing obstructing my body even in the slightest.

Even my clothes.

Thanks to that, I can never wear clothes for the rest of my life. Whether I should consider that fortunate or not, I’m not sure. Since my arms and legs were originally non-existent, I can wear opera gloves and thigh-high stockings on my artificial arms and legs.

Even with this, I feel a bit more comfortable concealing them. Somehow it feels strange when they look like my real arms and legs.

It’s a bit unsettling to see something completely made of wood up close. Even though I’ve gotten used to it, seeing that my hands and legs are made of wood still gives me a start.

I cover it up with the opera gloves and thigh-high stockings, gifts from the saint, Sister Irina.

Thanks to that, while not completely naked, all the parts that don’t need to be covered are concealed, and all the parts that need to be covered are exposed.

Oh, I’m wearing panties. The only downside is that they’re very thin sheer fabric.

Anyway, dressed in these non-clothes, I wake Lily up.

As soon as Lily opens her eyes, she kisses me.

In my heart, I want to play and roll around with Lily, but Lily has things to do.

I heard last time that gates are opening in the world, and powerful monsters are coming out, so strong Lily is diligently scouting around the Se-gyeosu to protect it.

She’s also protecting the elf village near the Se-gyeosu.

In that elf village are Lily’s friend Charlotte and her maid Marie.

So, it can be said that it’s a very important mission.

That’s why Lily and I exchange a brief kiss and then get out of bed for the day.

“Oh, it’s soaked… I need to change after seeing Lily off.”
