Chapter 31: Hit Here

Seeing that her disguise had been seen through, Litt didn’t feel particularly surprised.

Although she could imitate that succubus’s face, she couldn’t mimic her personality.

The reason she could play the role of Litt was mostly thanks to the script and the fact that Reed himself had never met the real Litt.

But Granny was different.

He definitely had spent quite some time with the succubus girl Anna whom Litt was impersonating.

After all, according to the information Otto had provided, Granny had only ever requested Anna at the succubus shop, and somehow managed to get a Platinum Membership Card by repeatedly ordering just one person without ever trying others.

Emmm… in a way, could this be considered pure love?

Litt pushed these random thoughts aside, then looked at Granny and said, “I’m only here to ask you one question…”

“Sorry, I don’t have the habit of answering enemies’ questions,” Granny picked up his weapon, “Take off your disguise. Even if you can imitate Anna’s face, you can’t imitate that silly vibe Anna gives off.”

“Is that so?”

Seeing that Granny didn’t want to talk, Litt took off the disguise mask from her face, revealing Letia’s true appearance.

With that thing on, she couldn’t fight.

And to avoid being recognized before coming here, she had worn a mask to cover her face as much as possible.

Of course, her cross couldn’t be used.

If she pulled it out, unless Granny was a fool, he would recognize her true identity immediately.

So the upcoming fight would naturally rely on the pseudo-grimoire Otto had given her.

“You’re just a rat hiding your face and head.”

Even though Letia’s face was covered, her body couldn’t be hidden, especially after Granny saw her petite figure—his gaze suddenly shifted.

That blatant greed in his eyes made Letia feel an uncontrollable surge of disgust.

“The door’s locked, and I closed the windows too. Little one, where could you possibly run?”

Granny seemed certain he had the upper hand over Letia.

After all, Letia looked like a child, so it was hard for him to take her seriously as a threat.

“Is that so?”

Letia didn’t hurry, producing the pseudo-grimoire hidden behind her back.

“The Holy Light will purify your despicable thoughts…”

“A member of the church?”

Granny was startled inside but kept a calm expression.

He knew he couldn’t panic.

He hadn’t offended any members of the Holy Church before, so this person in front of him was definitely a priest or nun of the White Church.

Most likely, the nun named Litt he’d heard about.

How many formidable people did the White Church have in Ye Ming Town?

…No, wait.

Why was the Holy Light around this one so intense?

“Heh~”

While Granny was scrutinizing her, Letia gathered the Holy Light in her hands.

The gathered Holy Light, unleashed through the pseudo-grimoire, was as powerful as a mage’s magical blast.

Seeing this, Granny became anxious.

He wanted to interrupt, but Letia had already completed the spell.

“Holy Light Burst!”

A sharp cry, and the yellowed paper of the pseudo-grimoire exploded accordingly.

However, after the light faded, there was no Holy Light magic as expected.

What appeared before them was a book.

Judging by the cover, it was…

White Silk Boiled Dumplings.

Letia:

“……”

Granny:

“……”

The previously tense atmosphere disappeared instantly.

Letia looked at the hideous thing in her hands with a face full of disbelief.

Granny’s face turned red as he tried his best not to laugh.

“……”

Letia’s face was so dark it was almost dripping as she silently stared at the ‘good book’ in her hand.

From the theme of this book, it probably wasn’t some prank Otto was playing on her.

The only possibility was that Red had bought this book from somewhere, and she had grabbed the wrong one!

Yes, she had grabbed the wrong one.

After smashing Red’s face last night, he had left the book on the coffee table, but she had taken the book from the cabinet instead.

“Miss Priestess, if you want to purify me with this kind of method, I don’t mind at all,”

Granny finally couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Of course, he knew that a priest or nun without a pseudo-grimoire was like a tiger without teeth, without any real ability to resist.

“What’s the matter? Angry now?”

“Got the guts? Hit me.”

He then pointed to his face, puffed out his chest, and straightened his back.

“Come on, hit me. Hit me as hard as you can!”

“……”

Letia, with her darkened face, looked at Granny’s cheeky expression and was silent for a long while.

Then she weighed the book in her hand.

Hmm… about the same weight as the pseudo-grimoire.

“Bang!!”

***

“I was wrong, Miss Nun.”

At this moment, Granny’s face bore a perfectly square-shaped bruise.

Who could understand this?

This priest played dirty—put all her attribute points into strength.

That one hit almost broke his nasal bridge.

But even so, Granny was knocked unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself tied up tightly by Letia.

Seeing Granny subdued before her, Letia directly asked,

“I only came to ask you one thing—what do you know about the White Church Envoy?”

“White Church Envoy?”

Granny was a bit confused.

“What White Church Envoy?”

Letia sneered.

“The ones who attacked Let yesterday, weren’t they your people?”

“Yes, those were my people,” Granny nodded, “But what does that have to do with the White Church Envoy?”

“Stop pretending. Litt is a member of the White Church Envoy. You didn’t know?”

“I really didn’t know. She’s just an ordinary nun of the White Church, isn’t she?”

Granny was completely clueless.

White Church Envoy?

He had no idea.

Could it be that the Litt he sent people to capture last night was part of the White Church Envoy?

But judging by this priest’s tone, she seemed unaware of any White Church Envoy either.

“Hm?”

Letia sensed something was off and directly asked,

“You don’t know Litt’s identity?”

“No,” Granny shook his head repeatedly.

“Really don’t know?”

“Miss Priestess, look at my expression, look into my sincere eyes. If I knew she was someone you were protecting, I wouldn’t have troubled her, no matter what.”

“……”

Letia fell silent.

After organizing her thoughts, she straightforwardly asked,

“Then why did you go after Litt?”

“This is how it is, Miss Priestess,” Granny confessed, “When my Adventurer Team was exploring the dungeon, we met Red and a half-demon. Someone was very interested in the demon next to him and asked me to get her. But Red is powerful, so I could only kidnap that white nun to use as leverage.”

“Is that all?”

“That’s all.”

After hearing Granny’s answer, Letia felt like the sky was falling.
