[Comments]
BabySiren: Where exactly is she a saint?
└ HeadSmasherSaint: I’m the prettiest, so I’m the saintess.
└ BabySiren: I can’t argue with that.
Mermaid: Are the slaves those girls in the picture? Elves?
└ HeadSmasherSaint: Yep! Officially my slaves, certified by the wife!
└ Mermaid: What kind of roleplay is this lol…
└ MaxSizeCentaur: Saintess, can I join too?
└ HeadSmasherSaint: Eunuchs, no thanks.
OverweightOrc: Honestly, if it’s 2 billion, being a slave is fair enough.
└ HeadSmasherSaint: Right? For 2 billion, you should be a slave;;; Did you see the person properly though?
└ OverweightOrc: I’m the one who wants to break it off, but they keep wanting to meet again since they like me.
HarpyLife20Years: Damn, her wings are prettier than mine.
└ HeadSmasherSaint: Haha, I have six wings. Premium ones. How many do you have?
└ SorrowfulSlime: Look at these bird brains arguing.
└ From24thCentury: Wait, is the saintess a bird?
100YearsOfArmorCraft: Is the Tower pretty easy?
└ HeadSmasherSaint: It’s baby food to us, but maybe it’s because of our standards.
InnocentElf: Master, I look so ugly in the picture.
└ HeadSmasherSaint: You only need to stay beneath me.
└ InnocentElf: Oh that just made my heart race.
└ RealBattleMage: Gold-digger… How do you fall for something like that?
└ SomeGuy9218: Ugh, don’t act like that when you used to be a guy.
NekoCheonma: Guess we’ll all see each other at the Administration tomorrow.
Today, the forum is as peaceful as ever.

Now that I think of it, I have to go confront the Administration Bureau.
They didn’t explain things properly, after all.
I’ve heard something is going down at this briefing, so I should prepare myself.
“Uh, Master? Why are there mirrors everywhere?”
As I was messing around on my phone, the elf who just commented on the forum cautiously asked.
This woman doesn’t seem to want to go back home.
Maybe she’s trying to escape from her wife.
Her wife probably allowed it to give herself some thinking time.
What a messy situation.
If this “innocent elf” Elena turns out to be Erin’s mom, that would be a whole new level of drama.
But no, that can’t be.
Anyway, she noticed it.
She saw my space dedicated to self-admiration.
A room overflowing with full-length mirrors, where I gaze upon myself and only myself.
“Oh, I use that room all day on weekends. Just leave it alone.”
In other words, don’t touch it.
But is she really planning to stay here without going back?
“What do you do in there?”
“I just look at myself all day.”
No need to hide it.
“Wow, your self-love is something else.”
Of course.
With a face like this, it’s hard to fall for anyone else.
You only fall for yourself.
Isn’t this the kind of face that makes even other women fall for me?
Naturally, I can only love myself.
“Of course.”
Sizzle, sizzle.
Hmm?
Is that the sound of a burning pot again?
The culprit is that fallen angel.
She’s burning a pot once again.
I tried to teach her how to cook human food, and this is the result.
She’s constantly burning pots.
It’s going to take forever to teach her how to cook properly.
“She’s burning a pot again, isn’t she?”
“Sniff, sniff. Why does an angel like me have to do this…?”
Hmm?
What did she just say?
I grabbed the fallen angel by the head.
Ready to bash her skull in, I whispered in her ear.
“Are you saying you find the words of the Archangel repulsive? Do you need your wings plucked off again to understand?”
“Ah, no! That’s not it!”
In the end, no one can resist power.
The fallen angel who betrayed the Four Heavenly Kings, Camuel, is now completely under my control.
She has no choice but to follow me, the god’s favorite.
And Camuel?
Just a remnant created by the Demon King, anyway.
“Well, it’s understandable. A higher angel can cook, but the lower ones might not know how.”
“I’ll work hard! I promise!”
Good.
That’s the way.
She eventually got the hang of cooking.
You need to know how to cook at least this much, don’t you?
Ring, ring.
Ah, here we go again.
Another annoying woman seems to have arrived.
“What is it now? Who is it? Oh, saintess, there’s some weird woman outside.”
Without being asked, the loyal elf slave went outside.
I was trying to pretend I wasn’t home, but now I have no choice but to meet her.
So I let her in.
“Um, Karina, who are these people?”
Seeing my former sister’s face after a long time… Well, I just feel kind of indifferent.
Watching her quietly doesn’t bring up any particular thoughts.
Maybe just that she looks ugly?
So, I just speak plainly.
“These are my slaves.”
“Slaves?”
Haven’t you ever seen a slave before?
Slavery has existed for a long time in human history.
Even Korea had slaves a few hundred years ago.
I’ve simply acquired slaves who obey my every word.
“I don’t think there’s a need to go into detail. So, what is it this time? Coming all the way to my place. Didn’t I tell you I hate being bothered? Do you really not get it?”
Should I just lose my temper once to make her listen?
“Oh, no, it’s not that.”
“Then what?”
“I really won’t call you ‘oppa’ anymore. But I want to stay close with Karina.”
She wants to get closer to me.
Alright, that’s not bad.
Calling me ‘oppa’ because I resemble her brother is a bit much.
The saintess is merciful.
So, if she comes to the fold of the Kanora Church, I might just forgive her sins.
But first, let’s find out why.
“Why do you want that?”
“Well, of course. Karina, you’re incredibly strong, even among the returnees. You’re one of the few who operate directly in the dungeons.”
Oh, so that’s the angle.
“And so?”
“So, this isn’t about recruiting for a guild or anything. I just want to build a personal connection.”
“Ah, so basically, you’re trying to align with me?”
That’s not bad.
Making connections with a guild could be useful.
This woman works in administration and seems to have ties with the management bureau, so she could be helpful.
I did get a call from that Lightning Punch or whatever guild, but it was nothing significant.
“Yes, that’s correct.”
If it’s at this level, I can take on her requests, and I can get information in return.
Not bad at all.
“Ahaha, I like that honesty. That’s the kind of relationship I want.”
That’s exactly what I was looking for.
The past is the past.
This is now a different person.
Draw the line like that.
—Though she does use her past life memories when it suits her.
Well, that’s that, and this is this.
And there’s one more thing I want.
If she wants to be close with me, considering what she’s done, she’ll need to become a follower of Kanora.
“So, you know what I want, right?”
“I’ve heard you want to establish the Kanora Church here.”
Good. Good.
She’s quick to understand, I like that.
A smart person like her should be able to figure out what I want, even more fundamentally.
I won’t spell it out.
I want her to say it herself.
Only then will she be able to put the memories of our past sibling relationship to rest.
“Yes, that’s what I suggested.”
“I’ll do it.”
“Oh? You’ll become a follower of Kanora?”
Yes, say it yourself.
I smiled, satisfied.
“Yes.”
“Good. By following me, the saintess of Kanora, you too could become an angel someday.”
To be honest, I’m just too lazy to recruit followers myself, so I’m looking for someone to handle that for me.
But seeing me as an angel should be enough to brainwash her.
I spread my wings wide.
—Well, yeah, that’s definitely a lie, but…
Look at her.
She’s completely mesmerized.
She probably never thought there could be a religion where you could become an angel.
Even if she thought it was just an ordinary religion, seeing an actual angel in front of her would change everything.
“Huhh?”
She’s completely entranced.
I know why she’s acting like that, but I pretend not to and ask.
“What’s the matter?”
“You’re… really an angel.”
Of course, I’m an angel.
Do you think this is fake?
Well, she probably thought angels don’t exist.
And sure, I’ve just stuck on some wings and a halo.
“Did you really think it was a lie? I, Karina, as the saintess of Kanora, have finally become a complete angel.”
“Oh, really…”
Did she just doubt our goddess?
“Do you want me to break your head?”
This won’t do.
Should I smash her head?
“N-no! I’ll join the Kanora Church!”
“Good. Now, there’s something you need to do.”
Your role as the first follower of Kanora Church will be important.
Even if you’re just trying to appease me, I don’t mind.
“Yes. What is it?”
“The Kanora Church needs land. We need to gather followers and build a church.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Yes. That’s a good answer. As the archangel, I have a divine mission.”
“What is it?”
“It is to explore human life on Earth and eradicate evil.”
That should be clear enough.
Even though I phrased it subtly, she should understand.
This fool will do anything to appease me.
She doesn’t want to cross me, so no matter what I say, even if black is white, she’ll believe it.
“Is this evil you speak of monsters?”
“You understand quickly. Though I call her a slave, she is an angel now.”
She’s an angel, no doubt about that.
After all, I did give her wings.
Even if there are returnee races with wings, most don’t look as angelic as this.
“On the surface, she looks just like a human, though.”
Yes, that’s true.
She looks human.
Now that I look at her, she seems to be frowning, unwilling to talk to anyone else, but when I pinched her thigh, she lowered her head in a bow.
Let’s see, what backstory should I give her?
Ah, a female role suits her best in this case.
“She’s a guardian angel sent by the god who made me an archangel. See? Her wings are shabby, and her halo is small.”
Unlike my radiant, majestic halo that shines like a beautiful cookie-and-cream swirl.
“A guardian angel, I see.”
She nods, believing every word.
“This guardian angel will guide Miss Yu-jeong, the first follower of Kanora Church on Earth. Understood, guardian angel?”
What should I name her?
Suddenly, I see a burnt black pot nearby.
Hmm, there’s no need for a deep name, is there?
After all, this incompetent fallen angel, who can’t do anything but burn pots, doesn’t deserve a grand name.
Let’s keep it simple.
“Tam-nan-bi-yang.”
“Pfft!”
The elf slave next to me burst out laughing.
Tamnanbi’s face turned dark.
“That’s quite an odd name for an angel.”
“Now that you’ve become a follower, you are part of the Kanora Church family.”
Calling it family is important here.
Because it seems like this girl wants to become family with me.
“Thank you.”
“Well then, as I told you, you understand, right?”
“Yes, I’ll look into a district for the Kanora Church and also find a building.”
Good.
That’s perfect.
I didn’t expect her to mention a district, but it works.
I gently placed my hand on Park Yu-jeong’s shoulder.
“Good. If you had done this sooner, we could’ve gotten along well. From now on, address me with proper respect.”
“What should I call you?”
What should she call me? Well, that’s simple.
“Saintess or Archangel would be appropriate.”
“Yes, Saintess.”
Yu-jeong bowed her head, still somewhat disappointed, but she worshipped me as the Saintess with devotion.
Great.
I’ve got myself a useful follower.
Being close to me now means nothing.
Kanora Church will become everything.
From now on, she’ll be my source of wealth.
Well, it’s better than smashing her head, isn’t it ?
