The trick of coaxing a child actually worked a little on Truth. Following Tia’s logic, Truth began to wonder if becoming a loli really was her fault.
Why did she choose a female character back then… Oh right, it was because female characters had smaller hitboxes, which gave an advantage in battle, so she had kept using it ever since.
And who knew she’d end up transmigrating!
After transmigration, apart from taking on the abstract true demon form, she could only be in loli form— completely lacking any sense of pressure.
Back then, she still had the title “First of King Rank” above her head, which made other players think twice before provoking her. Now, even a pervert dared to bark crazily in front of her. So annoying!
Most importantly, since she had no “number two,” she couldn’t even play the “erotic game.” If she had the chance to change gender, Suna Tia Gadriel would’ve been pregnant long ago!
Tia had a point— Truth was just a victim forced to transmigrate and forcibly gender-swapped. So being targeted by those bad people definitely wasn’t her fault, and the consequences she caused were only temporary.
It wasn’t my fault, it was this world’s!
Thinking this, Truth nodded seriously, her fondness for Tia growing slightly.
Then she noticed Tia had already undone the buttons on her clothes, her elastic skin occasionally brushed by warm hands, making her shudder involuntarily.
“No, no, no, this just won’t do!”
Even if what you said makes sense, and I really am a loli now, no means no!
Up until now, Truth either wore heavy priest robes or loose long skirts, effectively wrapped up tightly. Even other outfits were very neutral. The reason for this was…
“I just don’t want to be a hermaphrodite!”
Seizing a moment when Tia was distracted, Truth slipped out of her embrace like an eel, not even buttoning up her clothes before escaping, looking a little disheveled.
Damn it, if you weren’t my only faithful believer right now…
Outside the folding screen, after fierce internal struggle, Suna had made up her mind.
She was going to rescue Truth right now. Besides, that evil priest Tia wasn’t much of a fighter anyway!
Senior Gadriel had said that Deya City might become unsafe in the future. So she’d have her father go to Southwatch Fort first to avoid danger, which would also help dodge Tia’s targeting.
A plan killing two birds with one stone, Suna slowly stood, eyes resolute:
“In that case, I have no worries. Truth… I’m coming to save you!”
The next moment, Truth dashed past Suna with her head lowered, pointing at her clothes as if she had just been violated, running so fast that a few strands of Suna’s hair were blown back.
Unaware of Suna behind the folding screen, Truth disappeared into the night.
“Huh?”
Suna was dumbfounded, and Tia’s voice sounded behind her:
“She actually ran off when I wasn’t paying attention… Oh well, I still have to teach her the Saintess etiquette later. Plenty of chances.”
Little Truth, don’t be afraid. The Hermit may not be able to give you love, but I will. I will definitely make you a normal girl again!
Still planning to grope Truth while teaching her Saintess etiquette?! Such a blasphemous priest!
Suna gritted her teeth and silently vowed she would never let Truth suffer under that wicked woman again!
–
The next morning, Suna arrived early at the Church of the Goddess of Life.
The church was never short of believers coming to worship the Goddess of Life. However, compared to the central cities, Deya City’s religious faith was still too loose. Suna remembered from books that the big cities strictly controlled faith issues.
After searching for a while, Suna finally found two priests’ backs on the west balcony of the church—one tall and one small—sitting together on a bench, looking very close.
Truth had already changed into the Saintess priest robe that Ariel had diligently cleaned overnight, holding a book full of Elderworm Script.
“I can’t understand the Otherworld Language…”
Tia was beside her, endlessly lecturing on the various Saintess etiquettes: no cursing, no bullying, no humiliating gestures, and so on.
Truth wasn’t listening at all. Her thoughts had already drifted back to the Mist, where she was furiously repairing the damage caused by Ariel, while also keeping an eye on the Adventurers.
Since the Deya Underground Labyrinth had reopened within the Mist and the Mist’s Unique Feature: Lost had temporarily faded, the Mist was now bustling with activity.
Very good. Truth began placing some minor monsters along the path leading to the labyrinth entrance—the Meteorite Crater.
To quickly reach the entrance, Adventurers would have to defeat these little monsters! And this was just the beginning. The treasures in the labyrinth were incredibly tempting for newbie Adventurers.
As long as Truth controlled the difficulty heading into the labyrinth, there would be no shortage of Adventurers…
Then there was her Dragon Egg. Speaking of which, where were Regg and Anderson? She couldn’t find them in the Mist, but after feeling the mark, she knew Regg was still alive. No need to worry.
Too lazy to contact them. As long as she could get the Dragon Egg back, that was enough.
“Hey, Truth, are you listening?”
Tia tapped Truth’s small head. Why was she spacing out?
Other people who became Saintesses usually actively studied the Saintess etiquette, afraid that one slip might cause the Goddess of Life to revoke their Saintess status. But Truth didn’t care at all…
Though it was understandable— Truth was probably more afraid of the Hermit than the Goddess of Life, Tia thought, recalling the struggle between Truth and the Hermit for control of the body.
Hopefully after all that, Truth would dislike the Hermit more. That would be great—no one could compete for affection with her!
“I’m seriously reading,” Truth replied, then pretended to flip a few pages.
“But you’re holding the book upside down?” Tia noticed Truth had the Saintess’ Sacrificial Hymns flipped over.
“I’m used to reading it backwards.”
Truth answered calmly without blushing. Damn, she really had it upside down…
Reading backwards? What a strange habit… But if you don’t want to learn Saintess etiquette, how about learning how to be a cute girl instead?
Tia shifted her hips, pressing her voluptuous body tightly against Truth’s, gently wrapping her right arm around her:
“I’m asking, Truth little Saintess, did you dress properly today?”
Here we go again?!
Truth’s face filled with caution as she immediately moved to the right to keep distance. If Tia dared touch her again today, she wouldn’t be polite anymore!
But every time Truth edged to the right, Tia would immediately move closer, until they reached the far right end of the bench. Tia reached toward Truth’s collar while continuing:
“Come on, let me take a look at you…”
“Ahem, what are you two doing?”
Suddenly, Suna’s voice sounded behind them.
