Milly’s cheeks flushed slightly as she instinctively shielded her chest.
Why did it feel like Filusha was looking at her as if she wanted to devour her whole?
That expression vanished in an instant, and Filusha returned to her gentle and elegant self. Milly blinked in surprise. Was everything just now merely an illusion?
“Milly, where have you been these past few days?”
Milly snapped back to her senses and put on an expression of feigned astonishment.
“Didn’t I say already? I was injured. It took me a lot of effort to recover my magic.”
Leona said nothing, pulling out a report from the drawer.
She slowly stood up and walked over to Milly. Instinctively, Milly took a step back, but quickly steadied herself, adopting a righteously dignified air.
“See for yourself!——”
Leona tossed several documents against Milly’s chest.
Milly picked up the report, reading clearly that there were signs of Inquisition in the Underground Chamber of the Witch Stronghold.
Moreover, the traces of the Inquisition were rather… explicit.
Just the leftover items alone included Handcuffs, a Blindfold, and a Collar, not to mention many little toys that couldn’t be looked at directly, and a Saintess Robe scattered on the floor.
Milly’s face flushed, and she desperately tried to suppress her emotions.
“Pope, do you suspect I was defiled by a Witch?”
“Isn’t that the case?”
“How could that be!” Milly shouted hysterically, “I’m still a virgin! How can you slander me like that!……”
Saying this, Milly felt deeply ashamed.
She’d long since been humiliated by the Witches in every way, and now she still had to pretend to be a pure Saintess.
“Is that so?”
“Yes, yes it is!——”
Oh no, she blurted it out. If Leona had some kind of Magic for Virginity Check, wouldn’t she be finished on the spot?
But when that happened, she’d just claim her body was too weak.
After all, from her past life’s experience, even vigorous exercise could cause “that” to break.
Besides, she had already cleaned herself thoroughly; they wouldn’t be able to extract the Witch’s DNA. As long as she stuck to her denial, Leona couldn’t do anything to her.
“Very well……”
Leona paced back to her desk.
She sat down, propped her head up with interest, and gazed at Milly.
“Just your one-sided claim isn’t enough to quell the rumors. If you have a clear conscience, why not let Filusha check you?”
For a moment, Milly didn’t understand what was going on.
Milly opened her mouth, staring at Leona in disbelief.
“Ch-Check… check what…”
“Of course, a Virginity Check,” Leona said,
“Filusha is also a Saintess, and I trust her testimony. Besides, Filusha is gentle and elegant; she wouldn’t take advantage of you. I guarantee, it will only be a simple check.”
“But, but…”
How exactly would the check be done? It sounded so indecent!
Milly couldn’t help but look at Filusha. She hoped Filusha would object, but instead, Filusha looked at her with eager anticipation, as if she truly wanted to have her way with Milly.
Just a moment ago, she thought it was an illusion, but now it seemed Filusha was serious!
“No! T-That’s too embarrassing!……”
“What, are you afraid? Are you feeling guilty?”
“I’m not… I’m not guilty…”
Milly clutched at her collar, so anxious she was about to cry.
She’d thought they’d just use Magic to check her, but she didn’t expect they’d resort to a physical method! She should have known the followers of the Goddess were all fanatics, but she never imagined they’d do something like this!
“Relax, I’m not some kind of demon.”
Leona propped her head and said with interest, “I’ll have Filusha take you to a small room next door for the check. There won’t be any spectators.”
“T-That’s still not okay…”
Milly’s face was as red as an apple. Even if she could view it as a medical procedure, she was still especially embarrassed. Besides, she really wasn’t a virgin.
If Filusha found out, she’d be executed by Fire Execution!
“I—I protest!……”
“You know our rules: whenever there’s suspicion, you’re treated as a Witch’s accomplice. Besides, the evidence is conclusive. You have no right to choose.”
“I—I… wuwuwu!……”
She could only cry. There was no way to resist.
Seeing Milly wipe away her tears, Filusha reached out and patted her head.
“Don’t worry, big sister won’t hurt you.”
Before Milly could retort, Filusha took her hand and led her out of the office.
Milly wanted to break free, but she didn’t dare. She’d witnessed the executions, where the Witches wailed in utter despair—she’d rather have a quick death than that!
And so, she was led to the next room.
It looked like a lounge, with a bed and a small tea table.
With a “clack,” Filusha firmly locked the door. Milly swallowed hard, hugging her chest and fidgeting nervously.
“Don’t be so nervous. It’s just a check.”
“How exactly will you check…”
Filusha only smiled, and put on a pair of white gloves.
Milly swallowed again and instinctively stepped back. Off balance, her calf bumped into the edge of the bed, and she collapsed onto it.
Just in time, Filusha was ready as well.
“Relax, I won’t hurt you,” Filusha approached slowly, “it’ll just be a quick check. Do you know what ‘just a taste’ means?”
“Even ‘just a taste’ isn’t okay!”
“Hurry up. Or do you want to be burned to death?”
Half pushing, half urging, Filusha pressed closer. Milly’s eyes were brimming with tears, but for some reason, when Filusha touched her, there was a strange sense of familiarity.
Her body reacted by instinct, moving to accommodate.
Why did her heart start beating so fast?
Could it be, she was just a loose girl who lost control in front of a beautiful older sister?
“All right, relax～～”
“Eh, w-wait!——”
Before she could mentally prepare herself, Filusha did as she pleased.
Milly clamped a hand over her mouth, trying not to make any strange noises. This feeling was so familiar—almost as if Filusha had bullied her not long ago.
But… that didn’t make sense, right?
She and Sister Filusha were only acquaintances who nodded at each other.
They hadn’t even held hands before, so why did it feel so familiar?
“Milly…” Filusha hesitated, gazing over, “it seems like… you’re not a virgin, are you?……”
“Eh?… N-No way!……”
Finally coming back to her senses—was now really the time to be excited?
She wasn’t a virgin at all; she’d long since been thoroughly used by the Witches. She had to find a way to cover this up, at the very least persuade Filusha to help her keep it a secret!
“But you’re broken… there.”
“That’s impossible, I don’t believe it!” Milly argued, “Maybe it was… when I, uh, entertained myself last time… N-Nothing! Anyway, I really am a virgin!”
First, she absolutely refused to admit it,
Then, as if by accident, she let slip about entertaining herself.
Although it was very embarrassing, at least it sounded better than being defiled by the Witches, right?
“No, what are you still checking for!……”
Milly kicked Filusha away and covered her skirt tightly.
Even if it was for medical reasons, Filusha’s persistent checking was way too embarrassing!
“Don’t tell the Pope, or I’ll be really mad!”
Milly pouted coquettishly. As a little sister type with her proud assets, her pouting could drive any mature lady wild.
Unexpectedly, Filusha didn’t fall for it.
“Hehe, Milly, you’re so cute.” Filusha cupped Milly’s cheeks. “All right, big sister will help you keep it a secret—but, it won’t be free, you know?”
“Eh, not free…”
“All right, fix your skirt first, okay?”
Filusha’s gaze lowered, sounding the alarm in Milly’s heart.
She turned around, back to Filusha, and quickly straightened her skirt.
