“It’s me. Veronica.”
“Seo… Saint?!”
“Shh…”
Meanwhile, there are wooden boxes full of unused materials,
There was Veronica sitting there, covered in a large black cloak.
Just in case, I hid next to him and spoke in a very quiet voice.
“Aren’t you at the cathedral, what are you doing here… eh?”
“I missed you…”
Before Veronica could answer the question, she hugged me tightly.
“At the cathedral… I was so tired and lonely.
I couldn’t stand it anymore… I wanted to be hugged by Nyx… so I ran away.”
Tears flowed from her light blue eyes as she looked up.
“Letter… I don’t know if you’ve read it, but…”
“Of course. This is a letter from my precious friend.”
I looked at the roadside while soothing Veronica’s reddened eyes.
The paladins have already moved away for a long time… Since it’s a black cloak, it won’t be noticeable.
“First, put your cloak back on… and go into the building right next to here.”
“Yes…”
Veronica put her slightly lifted cloak back on,
He walked with a bend and a limp as if he were someone else.
Then I grabbed her arm and quickly walked into the magic tool shop.
“Who are you? uh? Mr. Nicks. Didn’t you say you were going to go outside and have a look?”
“Seira. Please let this person in first.
And I think today’s sales should end here.”
Seira saw the person wearing the black cloak and her master come back in together.
She looked puzzled and did as I said, stopping the store and locking the door.
“You can take off your cloak now. Because you can’t see it from the outside.”
“Huh… This is…”
“Seo… Saint Veronica?”
“Shh! If you startle that loudly, everyone outside can hear it.”
Seira seems surprised when she sees Veronica’s pink hair, as if she recognizes it.
“When the saint was young… I saw her several times. In our store.”
“Yes? Really?”
” About 10 years ago… I came here holding my father’s hand when I was young.
In the past, they also sold spell books and simple consumable magic tools.
I understand that your father was originally a wizard… is that right?”
“That’s right. Both father and mother have passed away now, but…”
“Too bad…”
It seems that she came to the store with her father before she started her career as a priest.
“So, saint. How did you find this place?”
“Because I sent you a letter before. The title of saint is quite high…
It’s easy to find out where citizens stay and live.”
Using the saint’s authority, he found out where I was staying…
She’s a lot more meticulous and scary than I thought.
“Um… can I hide here?”
“Do you trust me more than the people at the cathedral you have seen for years?”
I spoke rather coldly to Veronica, who asked me a favor with a pitiful expression.
This is to clearly know her intentions or psychological state.
“I’m a wandering wizard… and I’m not a great person enough to take responsibility for the saint.
Of course, the saint is my precious friend… but she is just a friend.”
“So… what did it mean when you hugged and touched me that day?
You saved me like a prince in a fairy tale…”
“That’s because… the saintess looked dangerous…”
Honestly, it doesn’t really matter how long the saintess stays here.
Because it is possible to hide her.
However, if that happens, the period of city blockade will be prolonged,
In a cathedral with great power, this might turn the entire house upside down.
“After my mother and father passed away, I grew up in an orphanage under the religious sect.
Growing up in a place that wasn’t that good or bad… I learned about doctrine.
If you have strong faith and an honest religious life, the goddess will take care of you when things are difficult.
If you treat everyone kindly and live a good life, everyone will be happy.
I have lived by believing that.
As I believed that and lived that way, I decided that priestly life was right for me and became a priest…
Before I knew it, I had reached the point where I was a candidate for the next saint.
But isn’t it impossible for there to be no quarrels in a place where people live?
Even within the cathedral, there was a factional fight between high-ranking officials.
A priestess from a humble orphanage is a saint who represents the city.
I guess it was nonsense from their perspective.”
Veronica spoke in a calm voice about what she had experienced at the cathedral.
He was born to a father who was a wizard and a mother who was an ordinary housewife.
My father passed away while carrying out a request, and my mother was bedridden from the shock.
Not long after, Veronica’s mother passed away and she was sent to an orphanage.
He grew up there and became a priest.
Because of her good deeds, she was soon nominated for the next sainthood,
It appears that he was caught up in a factional fight that had already existed within the cathedral.
There was no way she would be on her side as she was from an orphanage.
Even though she was somehow elected as a saint, people did not view her well.
Moreover, the Spider Mine invasion incident actually served as an excuse to incur even greater hatred.
He ran away to me, the only person who gave him warm care.
A saint who lost her parents at a young age and suffered from factional strife.
Touching her mind with nanomachines must have had a huge impact,
The things I did must have felt like care and love to her.
“The reason I’m being so unreasonable towards Nix right now is…
I know he’s a really rude idiot. But… still…”
I revealed the horns and tail that I had hidden through body modification and showed them to Veronica.
“Raise your head and look straight at me.”
“This…is…?! Demon… Demon… No way…”
A demonic entity that should have been destroyed in a war hundreds of years ago.
You face an evil being that you have only seen in historical stories.
“Those horns… and the tail… why…?”
“I am neither the messenger of the goddess who came to save you nor the prince from a fairy tale.
Rather, it is an evil dark entity that must be opposed.”
Veronica fell backwards in surprise when she saw Seira and me.
“These… these evil demons…! Devil…”
“That’s right. Seira was also corrupted into a demon by my hands.
I personally chose you to take this city into my hands and create a demon kingdom.
Do you still feel like leaning on me?”
Veronica seems to be reaching out and trying to shoot something,
In fact, the outstretched hand and the fallen leg were shaking.
“Saint Veronica. Choose.
If you return to the cathedral, we will disappear without incident and never be seen again.
If you still try to rely on me, I will corrupt you.”
“Get… Corrupt…”
“Indulging in pleasure and lust and using black magic to corrupt living things.
Because that is the meaning of my existence.”
Her lips trembled as she considered two options.
If she was loved and raised in the cathedral and became a saint with blessings,
In this situation, Veronica would have tried to immediately subdue me and purify me.
Of course, in that case, I was planning on forcibly corrupting him, but…
It’s kind of tasteless to just click and corrupt, isn’t it?
The real fun is to slowly make you think for yourself and give in.
“I can get rid of the former saint as much as I want from this place.
But to do that… it’s too wasteful.”
He approaches Veronica, who cannot answer and is trembling like an aspen, and whispers in her ear.
“I am taking revenge on the people in the cathedral who harassed the saint.
Bullying others for their own power, not for their religious beliefs,
To the goddess who takes care of such people as believers… how about it?”
“That… I said such profanity… I!”
“The thing that felt warm and pleasant… Who was the one who hugged me first, asking me to touch it?
It’s Veronica…!”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
“Get rid of the closed life as a saint… and the hellish harassment at the cathedral…
Come to me…♥”
He breathes dreamy breath mixed with strange breathing sounds into her ears.
The voice that Veronica hears now is,
It will sound holy and grand, like a revelation from a great being.
“Hmm… Ugh…! The devil’s voice… is it? no…
This is….. the voice of God… no… noaaa!!!!”
She writhes and screams as the sweet whispers slowly envelop her brain.
Although I clearly recognize it as a temptation from an evil devil,
You will feel a very sweet and cozy sensation from that temptation.
Is it really true that I am resisting the devil’s temptations?
In fact, isn’t it God’s voice of salvation for oneself?
Moreover, the emotional and physical exaltation that accompanies that temptation causes her to fluctuate even more.
Breath of Dreams has the effect of delirium and gradually fills the target with lewd thoughts.
Even Sera, who had been instantly brainwashed by that breath, succumbed and fell to her knees.
Will Veronica choose to return to the place where the devil is?
Or will they be corrupted into demons and punish those who are like demons?
“…Ahh… Ah…! Ahhh…!!!♥♥♥♥”
Veronica, who had been covering her head in agony, suddenly fell down and let out an exclamation.
Then he knelt towards me and raised his head in a prayer position.
“Ah…♥ It wasn’t the goddess Astericia… nor the people of the cathedral…
The savior who would come to me… was none other than Nyx…!
That Saint Veronica… betrayed the Asterician Church, which was full of lies…
I will become a believer who serves the new savior, Nyx…♥”
