Chapter 71: Snow Ball (4)
Iona seemed surprised, whether it was because of Carla’s puppy-like appearance or because of my undamaged mana core, but she nodded at my request.
“Right... It would be really reassuring to have a guard to fight alongside if needed.”
“Isn’t it?”
If it had been just Carla, Edmerek would have been taken down much more easily.
“But we can’t overdo it, right? For example, asking for recognition of Carla’s actions as points for Yandel.”
“Don’t worry. I’m confident I can score on my own.”
“Good attitude! Such requests usually get approved! Oh, will there be any changes left? Do you need anything else other than your request about Carla?”
“Huh? Carla alone is enough.”
“Ugh...”
For some reason, Carla gasped as if her heart had been gripped.
Seeing this, Iona laughed and nodded.
“Got it! Got it! Since you didn’t seem to want anything else, I’ll convert the rest into points!”
“Thank you.”
“Well, to be honest, I had high expectations for student Yandel.”
Looking at us, Iona smacked her lips contentedly. Surprisingly, she was just feeling pleased.
When vampires were in a good mood, they tended to smack their lips.
Of course, it looked pretty seductive to the observer.
Perhaps realizing this late, Iona gave an awkward smile and waved.
“Anyway, I’ll pass on the message! Sorry for bothering you this early! You’ve got a break for the next ten days, so rest up!”
“Oh, thank you, Professor. The blood donation was helpful.”
“See you next time! ...And great job subduing Edmerek!”
Thud. Thud.
With a brief addition, Iona left the treatment room.
“...”
An odd silence permeated the treatment room.
It had felt a bit noisy when she was here, but now it was eerily silent.
Still feeling a bit dazed, I asked Carla.
“Should we have breakfast?”
I was famished after not eating anything while unconscious.
By the time Carla and I had finished our meal, apparently, the academy had heard of my recovery, and they had sent someone to hear my side of the story.
So, I told them everything, from the cultists hiding in the Gef underground to the dungeon, and about the unsettling obsession of the God of Tainted Unity, starting with Pietro, whom I unintentionally killed.
It felt more like they were verifying the facts than investigating, so the investigation ended quickly.
After that, I received confirmation from the responsible healing priest that I was alright, and I was discharged from the intensive care unit.
“It’s been a while since I was able to go back to the dormitory!”
“It’s only been three days. And before we go to the dormitory, we have a place to visit.”
“Huh? Where?”
“The girls’ dormitory.”
“...”
Why... Why was she looking at me like that?
“What are you thinking right now, Carla?”
“If Master gets caught by the guards, I wonder where I’ll have to sleep from now on.”
“Sharing dungeon information, or including me in cultist subjugation missions. Of course, I don’t intend to freeload. Just something appropriate for my level would be enough. If not, it can’t be helped.”
If left unchecked, the Church of Righteous Radiance might fall into a trap by the cultists.
At best, they would get annihilated; at worst, the entire church would fall into corruption. This was an event I had to prevent in any way possible.
By increasing my influence in the church’s subjugation efforts, I could interject when necessary.
This was actually the standard route.
However, Helena, who had been frozen in thought since earlier, looked a bit concerned.
“Miss Helena?”
“......”
“Priestess Helena?”
“Yes, yes... You were asking for an opportunity to refuse money and tear apart the wicked servants of an evil God, right?”
“Huh? It’s a bit of an extreme way to put it, but yes.”
“Oh, Lord...!”
Suddenly, with a deeply moved expression, Helena clasped her hands and looked up at the ceiling.
Then she turned her head sharply, giving me a burning gaze, and said,
“Brother Yandel. I know this isn’t polite, but can I be a bit rude for a moment?”
“I’m not sure what you are referring to, but... yes. Speak your mind.”
“Do you believe in the Righteous Radiance and want to go to heaven?”
“......”
Was she trying to convert me?
“Well, I want to remain in this world for now.”
“You don’t have to devote everything to the Lord like me.”
“Still, I am sorry.”
As I declined again, Helena nodded with a hint of regret.
“If that is your wish, Brother Yandel, then so be it. Just know that the Righteous Radiance always welcomes you.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
The faith route was efficient, but there were various restrictions according to doctrine.
Even if one was not a priest utilizing divine power, it was the same.
If you got baptized in any religious order, their God would watch over you.
And I meant it quite literally.
Whether they were a good or evil God, they were all sealed in harmony, so they naturally observed the world.
But weren’t there many points of contention for me?
Knowing about future events, and being from another world, Earth, I might become a target of subjugation, so, if nothing else, I absolutely shouldn’t be baptized.
But maybe I was too curt in refusing her. The atmosphere started to get a bit awkward.
Helena smiled brightly, changing the topic.
“Then, do you need anything else? You said you are okay without financial support, but it doesn’t sit well with us, the sponsors.”
“Hmm. Other than that...”
After a brief contemplation, I nodded.
“Could I perhaps get a few nun outfits?”
“...Excuse me?”
“About 3 sets should do.”
“......”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
