“How should I put this? Our Pope didn’t become a Virtual Idol only after becoming Pope—in fact, she had always been running her Virtual Streamer account, and it was only by a twist of fate that she became Pope.”
What kind of twist of fate would allow an ordinary Virtual Streamer to become the Pope?
Lin Sheng felt that there was definitely something wrong with this world, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint where the problem lay.
“So, is the selection of the Pope of the Church of Light always this casual?”
Although Lin Sheng didn’t look down on Virtual Idols, he still felt that the selection of the Pope should be taken more seriously.
A Virtual Idol Pope sounded like a ridiculous choice.
“The professional qualifications and faith of His Holiness the Pope have been perfectly proven, so there’s no need to worry at all.”
When Freya said this, her expression was devout.
“As for how His Holiness the Pope ascended to this position, it’s actually an interesting story. If there’s a chance in the future, I can tell it to you, Princess.”
To be honest, compared to this current tea party, Lin Sheng actually wanted to hear more about how the Pope rose to power.
Come on, hearing about how a Virtual Idol became the Pope step by step is seriously cool.
“Princess nya, have you really never considered selling Stockings?”
“?”
“Princess, trust me nya, as long as you say the word, I guarantee countless people would pay for them nya.”
“So- Sofia, what are you even talking about? Are you saying everyone here is a pervert?”
Although Lin Sheng had heard about businesses selling used Stockings, he never expected that even at Saint Laia Academy, this renowned Noble Ladies’ School, there would be people interested in such things.
“Nya? Princess, don’t you know nya?”
“Should I know something?”
“Serveyia, that’s not right nya! How could you not tell the Princess such an important thing nya!”
Lin Sheng looked back at Serveyia in surprise.
Serveyia’s face remained calm, like still water, showing no panic at Sofia’s accusation.
“The little fox only recently got this body, so it’s not suitable to tell her complicated things right away.
But since Miss Sofia mentioned it, I’ll give a simple explanation.”
Great, now it was Lin Sheng’s turn to be confused.
Could it be that his body had other secrets?
“Little fox, what I’m about to say isn’t really a secret—it might even be widely known—but for you, it’s very, very important.”
Seeing Serveyia’s serious expression, Lin Sheng grew a bit nervous himself.
He felt like he was about to discover some secret.
“Little fox, you still remember, right? The legs and base of the tail of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox are magic organs—they’re very sensitive areas.”
Lin Sheng nodded to show he remembered.
To be honest, he could never forget—thanks to this, his legs were absurdly sensitive.
“Then, little fox, you should also know that the Stockings protecting your legs are equally important, aren’t they?”
“But—”
“Shh, listen. This is the main point, little fox.”
Serveyia extended a finger, pressing against Lin Sheng’s slightly parted lips.
Seeing Lin Sheng’s face flush from her gesture, Serveyia continued happily.
“In general, little fox, your legs are so sensitive because they’re constantly releasing magic outward. As a sense, the sensitivity of magic is directly linked to the sensitivity of magical organs, as well as the purity of the magic itself. The amount of magic released is also related to your total magic reserves.”
“In that case, as an auspicious Divine Beast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, the magic within you is naturally extremely pure, and your magic reserves are immense, so your legs are even more sensitive.”
“So, what does that have to do with what Sofia said?”
“Don’t rush, little fox. Like I said, your legs are always emitting magic. That means your Stockings are constantly being infused with your magic. From a factual standpoint, they’re practically magical artifacts.”
“Moreover, the nature of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox’s magic naturally brings people joy, so it’s perfectly normal for people to seek your Stockings. Can you understand now, little fox?”
To be honest, listening to Serveyia’s explanation made Lin Sheng’s head hurt.
Even if he could understand it, he still felt it was a bit too absurd and embarrassing.
No matter how much you explain it with science, Stockings are just Stockings—they can’t be used as amulets, just like leather shoes can’t be used as lunch boxes.
“Sorry, Sofia, I still think it’s… a bit hard to accept.”
Honestly, if Lin Sheng didn’t know what people would do with the Stockings he wore, maybe he could accept it.
But now, to be honest, he just felt a chill deep inside.
“Really? That’s a shame nya. But if the Princess ever changes your mind, you can always come find me nya!”
Although she didn’t get Lin Sheng’s consent, Sofia showed no disappointment at all.
It was as if it wasn’t a big deal to her.
After all, she was still hugging one of Lin Sheng’s tails with an enraptured look on her face.
“By the way, Princess, let me grant you a Protective Blessing!”
As the atmosphere in the parlor grew awkward, Freya suddenly spoke up, making an unexpected offer.
“Protective Blessing?”
“That’s right! It’s a Protective Blessing from a Saintess of the Church of Light.
You can’t even buy it outside~”
Freya introduced it with confidence.
Yet, seeing her hugging his tail with a lovestruck expression, Lin Sheng couldn’t help feeling that she was nothing like the legendary saint.
Where’s your dignity? Your elegance? Your faith?
Lin Sheng cried out inside.
But honestly, sometimes it was precisely these imperfect people who made Lin Sheng feel close to them.
“Freya, what’s a Protective Blessing? I only know about Omamori.”
“It’s actually pretty similar to an Omamori.
Both are types of Blessing Magic.
But the effects of a Protective Blessing are more pronounced and last longer.
You can think of it as a buff in a game, Princess.”
“Eh? Is that really possible?”
It’s no wonder Lin Sheng was skeptical.
After all, buffs in games were precious.
As the saying goes, damage dealers come and go, but support is ironclad.
DPS roles have expiration dates, but support roles are always needed.
