62. Between the Saint and the Apostle(Complete)

1.

As usual, Burgo knelt in front of the statue of Lux, offering false prayers.

“…Are you saying that you two rejected my request?”

“Yes, it is. Those shameless writers dared to ask for a meeting with the saintess herself…!”

Empty!

The brown-haired paladin, complaining feverishly, taps the chest of his armor, echoing the sound of metal clashing. And after hearing that, Virgo, who almost frowned, calmed down and calmly admonished the paladin, acting as calmly and benevolently as possible.

“Please pay more attention to your words and actions, Lord Pamir. They are so precious that even being compared to a clergyman like me is an example.”

“But!”

“Lord Pamir, one of them is the next duke of the Barthes Empire.”

He knew that he was a noble somewhere, but Pamir, who hadn’t figured out the fact that he had such a noble status, stammered with a look of bewilderment.

“That, but the saintess…”

“The other one is not known to the world yet, but the moment he becomes known, he is the youngest sword master whose name will be listed in the history books.”

“Huh…!”

Only then did he realize what an absurdly impudent thing he had put in his mouth, and he quickly shut him up, fearing that Pamir might make an even worse mistake.

“It’s unfortunate that you two turned down my request, but you did a great job, Lord Pamir. You can stop and go back.”

“Yes, four!”

After making the sign of the cross and bowing his head deeply once, he turned around and looked at Pamir, who was leaving the little chapel of the saintess, with a smile on his face.

However, the moment it is confirmed that Pamir has completely gone out of the small chapel, Burgo’s impression is instantly distorted.

“The arrogant b*tches dared to refuse…”

After saying that while gritting his teeth, Burgo straightened his knees and sat down at random. She was still unfamiliar with this acting, which had been maintained for nearly 15 years.

Speaking softly and quietly, and having to smile at all times regardless of whether I was in a good mood or not, there was no hardship whatsoever. She hated being polite all the time, and she hated praying all day long in this uncomfortable posture.

Her 15 years of celibacy drove her mad the most because she occupied her saintly body, which had to keep her virginity no matter what.

Her body that had been occupied by Virgo up until now was all of an off-white color, and pulling the men she wanted into bed was as easy as sitting still and breathing. However, she knew better than anyone else that Virgo was not worth blowing away like her current body, if it were her other body.

Particularly now that the completion of her great career was right in front of her nose, she didn’t want to mess with her work over a moment’s mistake, even if it was a waste of time she had endured with gritted teeth.

“Haa… I can’t use it even with such a good body. My situation is also very miserable, miserable.”

With a big sigh, Virgo raised her body and walked towards her statue of Lux. Before long, Burgo, who ran his finger over the writing on the mirror that held Lux’s statue in his arms, suddenly giggled and burst into laughter.

[External beauty is not eternal, but inner beauty is eternal]

[Look at your inner pendulum, repent, and turn it into a maze]

“Gick-kick… Isn’t beauty eternal? Pamper your inner pendulum into a maze? Ahaha! Seriously, to write down nonsensical bullsh*t in a mirror sent by our god, not mine.”

The image of Burgo reflected in the mirror was so beautiful that no one could but admit it. More precisely, it is the image of Saint Aster, whom Virgo forcibly usurped the initiative of her body.

With flowing golden hair reminiscent of that brilliant sun. The harmony of the features that were densely placed on that small face was arguably the best of all the bodies Burgo had ever occupied. Her milky-white skin, which could be seen immediately even if it was dyed even slightly red, and her body, which is so good that it is within five fingers even by the standards of Virgo, which has stolen and sometimes coveted the bodies of countless beauties.

“After all, the only thing people care about is appearance.”

The only traces of her own that are mixed in the appearance of such a saintess Aster. Looking at the dark green eyes reflected in her mirror, Virgo gave a satisfied smile.

“…Come to think of it. She goes against the laws of heaven, and her off-white color is so outstanding that rumors spread that you are also the most beautiful woman in the empire, isn’t it? Libra says she’s in a very cute love game with The Last Apostle.”

As if imagining something of her, Virgo closed her eyes, and after a while, her body trembled and she exhaled her excited breath. The flushed cheeks, slightly loose pupils, and the strange smile on her lips were lewd enough to make anyone think she was a prostitute rather than a saint.

“Haa… After this dull body is no longer useful, she must be having fun taking it away. When you see me borrowing your body to covet your lover, what ecstatic words will you tell me…?”

Burgo, who twists her legs and lowers her arms gradually, freezes like a stone statue just before her hand touches her most precious part. And after a while

“Keugh…! OK, I got it! It’s been 15 years already, you motherf*ckin’ b*tch! Isn’t it about time you gave up?”

Grasping my head with both of her hands, Virgo starts screaming at her, screaming at her.

“You, you…! After I abandon your body, I’ll treat you like a whore no matter what! The paladins who serve you, and the old bishops of this church! And, your blood… Kyaaaaa!”

After collapsing, Burgo stomps her head on the floor several times, then lies on the floor with her godson and curses at her.

“This f*cking, really f*cking toxic b*tch…”

Burgo, who was breathing heavily, raised her hand and healed the wound on her forehead with holy power, then took out her handkerchief and wiped away the sweat. Then Burgo, who raised her body, takes her steps out of her little chapel, trying to ignore her trembling legs.

“I don’t like all these b*tches… all of them.”

It was time to welcome guests.

Leaving behind the trivial incident that nearly got us kicked out of the cathedral for just kissing each other, Luke and I headed in the direction of the Purification Chamber. It wasn’t that we didn’t have strong faith in Lux, so it didn’t mean much for us to stay in the chapel any longer.

Actually, more than anything else, it was uncomfortable that the priest who was praying there kept paying attention. Unlike the god he worships, he is like a narrow-minded human.

“…Adele, honestly, we did it wrong.”

No, shouldn’t you normally take my side in moderation like this?

I turned my gaze to the side with that thought, and then came to my senses only when I saw Luke smiling awkwardly.

Though I was the one who actually did the wrong thing, people who say it was us casually, not caring about it. It’s like you’re trying to be mean by saying that you’re not a kid over such a caring person, and that you didn’t listen to me.

“I was wrong, stupid…”

“Well, it was my fault to some extent that I didn’t tell you… To be honest, I liked it too.”

Seeing that even now, like me, he casually says things that are considerate of me, I doubt whether Luke’s words that he has never been in a relationship are true. No matter how you look at it, there’s no way it wasn’t popular.

“Luke, be honest. Aren’t you the first to date?”

“Yes? What is that all of a sudden…”

“Just kidding. A half-serious joke.”

Unless all the women didn’t have eyes for men, it wouldn’t be strange if at least one or two fell in love with that kindness.

“I don’t know why it suddenly happened, but… It’s the first time I’ve fallen in love with someone or been in a relationship.”

“And yet, last night I was so skillful…”

“Uh, uh uh! We are out now!”

“You’re the one who said that magic kept other people from hearing what we were saying…”

“Oh, I did. Anyway, that’s it, what should I say. Great audio-visual educational material… No, just ignore what I just said.”

“Huh…? Okay.”

As for what Luke just said, I thought I should dig into it later, and for now, I decided to follow Luke’s wishes.

As usual, as we walked and chatted with Luke, we arrived right in front of the purification room.

“Actually, I wanted to visit the confession room at least once.”

I greeted the paladin standing guard in front of the chamber of purification with a wink, and brought up the words I just remembered.

“Adele, the confession…? What kind of evil did you do without me knowing?”

“Well…?”

If it’s a bad thing, then it’s a bad thing to continue to seduce Luke even though he knew for sure that he would have a hard time…

Confession room is actually not a place where you can step in lightly. That’s why we chose Jeonghwa’s room as a place to spend our time until Burgo comes to visit us.

Also, there’s nothing at all to be slightly serious about confessing, but people say that when people do things they don’t normally do, they usually don’t look good. So I went to Jeonghwa’s room with a light heart.

I was sure it was.

“You are under a curse. A very powerful curse that cannot even be properly understood unless you are a high-ranking priest of this church.”

Exactly 10 minutes after entering the Purification Room. It took a while for the light atmosphere to subside.

“When exactly were you cursed?”

“That is…”

The priestess, who was looking at me and Luke, cautiously opened her mouth.

“At least 10 years ago… Maybe even more, it’s estimated.”
