After a short while, they arrived at the Pope’s office.
The Pope, as always, sat behind her desk, dressed in ornate robes, holding a book in her hands.
Filusha entered first, with Milly tugging at her clothes, following close behind.
With a snap, the Pope closed her book, raised her head, and scrutinized Filusha and Milly.
“You’ve arrived?”
“Yes, Your Holiness, do you have any instructions for us?”
“Nothing urgent. I just wanted to ask—have you two gotten together?”
Upon hearing this, Milly’s cheeks flushed red. She hid behind Filusha, too shy to make a sound.
Filusha, however, replied with a beaming smile, “Yes, we’re together now.”
Filusha pulled Milly into her arms, causing Milly to almost lose her balance and fall into Filusha’s embrace.
Ugh, she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, and to think she was being teased like this right in front of the Pope—fortunately, she didn’t make a sound, or it would be far too embarrassing!
“Aren’t you two progressing a bit too quickly?”
The Pope slowly approached, her gaze filled with suspicion.
“You were total strangers just yesterday, but now you’re inseparable? And you, Milly, you blush far too easily, don’t you?”
“I, I!…”
It’s only because Filusha bullies me that I blush! There’s no way I can say that out loud, it’s just too shameful.
“Didn’t you have a physical examination yesterday?”
Filusha’s face was brimming with joy, taking the initiative,
“At that time, Milly was crying and told me she’d never get married, and insisted that I take responsibility for her.”
“She even put on some seductive clothes and ran to my room to confess. Such an adorable girl—how could I possibly resist? That’s how we got together.”
Milly suddenly looked up.
What nonsense is Filusha spouting?
It sounds like she was the desperate one chasing after Filusha! Just now, Filusha pinned her as the lovesick puppy, and now she was slandering her in front of the Pope?
“I, I never did that!~~” Milly tried to look innocent. “It was clearly you, Sis, who wanted to take responsibility for me. I just saw how sincere you were, so I agreed!”
“It’s all right, little sisters being a bit shy isn’t embarrassing,” Filusha tilted Milly’s chin up. “If you’re too embarrassed, you can just say it was me who pursued you.”
“No, you meanie!——”
“Wow, even her pouting is this cute.”
“You two, that’s enough!——”
The Pope shouted, and the two calmed down, trembling as they looked at her.
“I just want to ask—are you hiding some kind of shady deal between you?”
“A shady deal?”
The Pope gave a cold snort and strode over to Milly, placing a hand firmly on her shoulder.
“Right after your physical yesterday, the two of you got together. It’s hard not to be suspicious.”
The Pope leaned in closer, staring straight into Milly’s eyes, making her heart pound with anxiety.
“Did you use your body to seduce Filusha so she’d help you hide something?”
“How could I possibly seduce her!” Milly’s face turned beet red. “I can barely stand her—why would I want to seduce her!”
“Hey!——”
Filusha called out loudly, and Milly snapped back to her senses.
How could she blurt out the truth so carelessly? The Pope was already suspicious—didn’t she just confirm it now?
Sure enough, the Pope’s face broke into a broad smile.
“So, you’re saying it’s just a transaction between you two?”
“No, it’s not…”
Milly mumbled, unable to say anything for a long while. Seeing this, Filusha quickly pulled Milly behind her.
“Sorry, Milly’s just a bit tsundere.”
“Who’s tsundere!——”
Milly fumed, waving her hands about.
But in doing so, she only proved how much of a tsundere she really was.
Filusha just smiled, saying nothing. Milly, mortified, lowered her head shyly.
“Your Holiness, as you can see, Milly and I are together, but she’s still a little tsundere, always saying things she doesn’t really mean.”
“I do not say things I don’t mean…”
Her rebuttal was perfectly timed; the Pope, who had been suspicious, now simply found Milly adorable.
“Enough, let’s put your affairs aside for now.” Leona took two documents from her drawer. “This time, I have a mission for you.”
Milly let out a sigh of relief. Finally, she made it through!
But being branded a tsundere still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Filusha picked up the file and glanced through it.
Soon, a faint blush appeared on Filusha’s cheeks.
Sensing something bad, Milly picked up her own document.
On it, the following report was written:
In the Gutram region, a witches’ gathering site has been discovered. The witches are holding a debauched party to collect lustful energy, and it seems they intend to conduct a summoning ritual.
Order: Filusha and Milly are to jointly investigate this incident.
Note: If necessary, both Saints are permitted to engage in intimate acts.
Milly’s face grew redder and redder, and in the end, with a loud “pop”, steam seemed to rise from her head. Clutching the report, she stared angrily at Leona.
“What do you mean by intimate acts?”
“Naturally, anything beyond kissing,” Leona replied calmly. “I used to think it was inappropriate, but now that you two are together, it’s not an issue, is it?”
“Th-That still won’t do!——”
She’d always known witches were perverts, just like Filusha—a complete pervert. But to think they’d throw a mass orgy and collect lascivious energy!
Could it be they’d have to join the party too?
Would she and the big sister and the little sister have to do shameful things together?
“I’m not joining any kind of party like that!”
Leona looked displeased, and with a slight exertion of her fingers—crack!—the armrest of her chair shattered, bits and pieces scattering to the floor.
“Milly, are you defying a direct order?”
“Ugh, no…”
Milly retreated two steps, her legs going weak.
Thank goodness she’d already gone to the bathroom before coming in.
“But a place like that is just too humiliating…”
Even if she had a secret relationship with Filusha, there’s no way she could join that kind of party!
Did it mean she and Filusha’s intimacy would have to be watched by other big sisters and little sisters?
“By the way, I received another bit of information.”
Leona propped her head on her hand, eyeing Milly with interest. “The witch who ambushed you last time also seems to be at the Gutram gathering.”
“What did you say!——”
The witch from last time—was that the one who bullied her?
Milly would never forget being locked in the dungeon, blindfolded, abused by that vile witch, her whole body tainted.
That grudge—she would never forget!
She was going to catch that witch and make her taste the humiliation she’d suffered!
“That wretch is in Gutram?”
Milly clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling.
She couldn’t wait to use teleportation magic and rush to Gutram, drag that wretch out, strip her down, and torment her endlessly in the dungeon!
“Milly, do you hate that witch so much?”
The Pope’s voice was icy, and Milly came back to her senses.
She looked up and saw the Pope’s suspicious gaze. Only then did she realize she’d gotten too emotional. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm down.
“She humiliated me. I have to get justice!”
She couldn’t let anything slip yet.
Thankfully, she had Filusha as cover—even if it turned out she wasn’t a virgin anymore, she could say it was Filusha’s doing.
“Such spirit. So you’re taking the mission?”
“Of course!” Milly clenched her small fist. “I won’t let her go this time. I’ll tear her to pieces and make sure she can never be buried whole!”
The killing intent in the air made Filusha shiver.
Luckily, she kept her composure and maintained her smile.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” Filusha hugged Milly. “We’ll find the witch together, and I’ll help you get justice!”
Filusha was the witch herself, yet she was acting so gentle on the outside.
Inside, she was absolutely delighted; playing with Milly was just too much fun.
And since they had to go to Gutram anyway, why not set a trap, catch Milly, humiliate her as a witch, then rescue her as a Saint?
