052 – Pious Hyde and Mad Women #2

“That Rust appeared again? Hyde, your body is possessed by that unholy man… !? Are there any injuries? It was a really dangerous job!”

Psyche.

I was shocked to hear what happened to her in Florence.

It looked terrible that Rust had appeared, ruined the wedding, and burned down the Great Temple.

I thought it was terrible too.

I heard that Psyche and I get along well.

“Psyche, did anything happen to you?”

How was Psyche doing?

My eyes lit up as I wondered if other bastards had approached Psyche in the past month.

Fortunately, it is said that Psyche spent some time at the Grande Convent. The Grande Convent was a place reserved for men, and men were not even allowed to walk except under special circumstances like me.

“You’re a man, right?”

“Talking loudly with a man-.”

In fact, my presence was attracting the attention of the nuns.

Psyche seemed to have noticed this as well, saying in a low voice, “I need to be careful when talking in public. ”, and laughed.

Psyche and I are a couple.

What’s wrong with a couple meeting each other after a long time and wanting to talk?

Did we have sex or kiss in public?

Can’t we just have a conversation?

It was a place I didn’t really like.

Sze-.

Now Psyche guided Milione to a cramped, cell-like place.

“Miss Milione, this is the room you will be living in for the next year. There’s a bed, a window, and a mouse.”

━Kkkk!

Is the mouse crying right now?

Sometimes in places like this, I realize that this world is different from the world I used to live in.

anyway.

I put Milione in this cell just like putting a useless file in the trash can.

“Millie, go in quickly.”

“Oh, please. Spend a year in a place like this? Hyde, please have pity on me. I was abandoned and abandoned by my father. I really can’t last a day in a place like this! huh? I’ll listen carefully!”

Sze-.

It was Milione pulling my arm.

Those eyes were very bright and beautiful with tears in them, but I knew very well that this was a temptation from the devil.

“Where are you trying to trick me? Stay calm.”

“Oh, a little!”

If you stay here, there won’t be any chance of Ras coming out from the mainland. I think it would be great if I could stay in this room for the rest of my life.

When thinking about that, Psyche spoke.

“Hyde, it looks like you have become very close with Lady Milione while we haven’t seen each other.”

“Not at all.”

“Really? The way I see it… .”

It was when Psyche moved her lips as if contemplating whether to say something or not. Someone came running down the hallway from far away.

“Oh! You’re my new friend! I heard a new nun is coming from the mainland!”

She was a woman with a peach scent.

It was clear that she was a nun staying here, and she looked very free-spirited, not even wearing a towel on her head and her pink hair flowing wildly.

Is the height similar to Psyche?

Her face was beautiful, but her breasts were a bit smaller than Psyche or Millie.

Still, my pelvis and legs were pretty.

Now I see that I was walking barefoot, stepping on the floor without any shoes or socks.

“Nice to meet you! I’m Lucy! Rather, I think I’ve seen you somewhere before?”

Whisper-.

A woman with wet pink hair introduced herself as Lucy and hugged Milione Archibald’s neck tightly.

“Guhek─.”

Milione was so embarrassed that she had never shown it before, but soon, as if she couldn’t bear this hug, she pushed Lucy away with all her might.

“… Go away, you crazy bitch!”

What a crazy bitch.

How can you say something so vulgar?

I think it would have been really heartbreaking if I had been the one receiving abusive language.

Fortunately, the woman who identified herself as Lucy seemed nice.

“Milione! You are Milione! I’m glad you’re back in the convent! Hehehe─. Shall we dance for joy? Oh, yeah!”

Swish, swish-

It was a woman who began to dance, bobbing her pelvis from side to side with her hands on her waist.

That Milione is a woman with such strong tension that Archibald gets sick of her.

While I was watching this situation with narrow eyes, Psyche clapped her hands.

“Hyde, this is my new friend, Miss Lucy. And Miss Lucy, this is the husband I was talking about, Mr. Hyde.”

“Oh! Hyde! Psyche spoke! I heard that Psyche’s husband was an incredibly great and faithful man! Now that I’ve met him in person—I’m not sure! But nice to meet you!”

Ssuk seu-.

Lucy was holding my hand up and down and shaking it wildly.

Psyche was slightly startled and shouted at Lucy.

“Lucy! You must not hold another man’s hand carelessly!”

“Oh! right! That’s right!”

What should I say?

She was the type of woman I had never seen before.

Of course, both Psyche and Milione were women of a type I had never seen before.

━Sister Lucy! Where did you go other than washing your hair! Come quickly!

At that time, someone shouted loudly from across the hallway.

Then Lucy, the pink-haired woman, said “Hi! I have to go quickly! He trembled and said, “I’m going to get scolded!”” and disappeared back to where he came from.

Milione Archibald sighed while looking at that scene.

“Did you just see it? He’s a complete idiot!”

No, no matter what, I think I’m less of a jerk than you.

Of course, I swallowed those words.

“He was a cheerful person. Psyche, is that the demon-possessed person you were talking about, that girl? It didn’t look like that at all.”

“Lucy is a good woman. But sometimes something pops out inside her. Hyde, do you know about the term “double personality”?”

Dual personality?

The definition of dual personality began to be studied in the 19th century.

In the Middle Ages, where gunpowder weapons had not yet been developed, I thought that the concept of dual personality was too progressive.

“This is a phrase used when a person appears to have two personalities. This is a word my teacher taught me… . Isn’t it really amazing and strange?”

One person has two personalities.

They have one body, but they sound like two people with two voices and do things they don’t normally do?

I’ve heard of it, but it would be very surprising to actually see it.

That’s really strange.

“I have heard of the term dual personality, but I have never seen it in person. I guess we’ll have to find out if Lucy is possessed by a ghost or if it’s just an identity problem.”

“Identity Disorder─Hyde, as expected, you have great words. Hyde, I am so touched that you are my husband!”

I also think I have really cool things to say.

However, Milione, who was listening to this story, grumbled, “I really can’t look at it.”.

# # #

Mother Superior Midnar.

I heard that she was active in the war 20 years ago and was called the ‘maiden of the sword’.

He overturned many disadvantages in the fight against the royal family.

There was a rumor that if there really was such a thing as a saint, Midnar Embush would be the closest to that name.

I also knew this because I had a nightmarish experience with Rust of the Blood Crusade’s Great Sin Seat.

There is a rumor that there is a woman called ‘Saint’ living on an island who predicts destruction.

Although it was said that they may be a variable in many ways when the Blood Crusade takes over the royal capital, Royal Road.

The saint who lived on the island never came out.

And it was a fool to believe that the rumors were so old.

If the word saint could be applied to a person, who else would have that qualification other than Psyche?

“Are you Hyde, the husband of my disciple Psyche?”

Sister Midnar, whom I met in the convent’s prior’s office, was very tall.

Even I have to raise it slightly.

My height of 183cm was by no means the shortest in this world, but Midnar, the maiden of swords, was about a span of time taller than me.

Maybe that’s why the director’s office at this convent felt narrow.

The eyes are gray.

Her hair was covered with a towel so it couldn’t be seen.

Would the face visible under the nun’s robe be in her mid-50s?

However, he looked very young, but at the same time he looked old, so it was a very strange appearance.

“ Psyche boasted about you so much that I wondered what kind of man he was. He looks fine, but inside he’s empty and like chaff.”

What the fuck?

For a moment, I became angry.

Then Psyche spoke.

“Master! Don’t say that! What a faithful and kind person Hyde is!”

I felt like the anger in my heart was melting away at Psyche’s words.

Yes, this is a wife’s love.

“No, in my opinion, this guy is a lousy person.”

What the fuck.

Soon Milione spoke.

“Did you say Midnar? I heard that it has been about 3 years since you took office, and you seem to be a person with a keen eye for insight. My name is Milione Archibald.”

“I know. Archibald’s bastard daughter. As for you, I have something to talk about later. Priest Hyde, what’s going on in this convent?”

“Ah, it’s nothing else, I just received a message from His Holiness the Pope. They told me to contact a sister at this convent and talk to her. I think it’s probably because of ‘The Demon Possessed Man’.”

“Then you were in vain. There is no such thing as a demon-possessed person in this monastery. Then, I have nothing more to say so just get out of the way.”

what?

What kind of nonsense is this?

I said, holding out the scroll I received from the Pope.

“But I definitely received a scroll from His Holiness the Pope with instructions to contact you?”

“The Pope. It’s a funny story. Gregory, since when did that snobby guy become such a braggart? Go and tell the truth! The only ones who can give me orders are Almighty Elohim and his anointed king, Unizer!”

“Are you saying you will disobey the king’s orders?”

“The king─. Young Priest Hyde, I have something to ask you. Why should I follow the Pope’s orders rather than the Lord’s?”

Because if I don’t follow it, I will be disadvantaged?

When I thought about that, Midnar, the leader of the nuns, clicked his tongue.

“Look at this guy who can’t even answer this properly. The reason you must follow the king’s orders is because the authority was given to you by Elohim. But Pope Gregory, is he a king appointed by God? no. That guy is just a king established by humans.”

It was a radical story in many ways.

I thought I could understand why a saint who had been active at the forefront of the religious order during the war was confined to this shabby “Stone Island” as the head of a nun.

It was right then.

Someone urgently knocked on the nun’s door.

“Director! I can’t wait to go! Miss Lucy! Miss Lucy again!”

Miss Lucy?

Pot-Director Midnar ran like the wind with his long legs. Looking at that, Milione said “ho? As he exclaimed, “For an old man, he was quite ─””, I also ran along with him.

The place we arrived was near a well installed outdoors.

There, Lucy, shivering and splashed with cold water, was screaming wildly.

“Aoooroeulsuburikkesuo-. sex! sex! Fuck! Ugh, ah, I, I don’t want to say this, but sex! Hi-Hi! Oh, no-. I don’t want to say this! Sex!”

What is this again?

When I opened my mouth to see a scene that was embarrassing in many ways, Midnar became furious.

“Why did you learn such words and say profane things! What are they doing! Lucy Grab Emma’s arms and bathe her in cold water! Until you come to your senses! And Psyche! You search Lucy’s room!”

When Psyche searched Lucy’s room like that…

Psyche brought something amazing.

“This is “Demon Sword”! I don’t know why such a profane book was under Miss Lucy’s bed!”

“Huhhh!!! Where on earth did you get it? Reading such a blasphemous book leads me to say such blasphemous words! Burn the books! And bring a whip! I have to atone!!!!”

Sze-.

Mother Superior Midnar picked up the whip used to beat horses.

Are you planning on hitting Lucy with that?

My vision became dizzying in many ways, so I stepped forward without realizing it.

“What! Are you going to get whipped instead? Get out of the way!”

“It is not a symptom that can be cured by being whipped. There are certainly no demon-possessed people in this convent. There are only sick people.”

I was able to identify the symptoms that poor Lucy was suffering from.

Maybe it’s a ‘tic’?
