Lizé had tightly grabbed Stella’s wrist while glaring ferociously with her eyes wide open.

Stella’s hand that was holding me and Lizé’s hand that was holding Stella trembled violently.

In fact, considering all the things Stella had done so far, it was only natural for Lizé to react that way.

In the urgent situation where Claudia was poisoned, Stella had appeared out of nowhere, declared us as heretics, and blocked our way.

Not only did she surround us with the battle nuns and launch a preemptive attack with a sacred spell, but she also mocked Lizé in the midst of the exchange of blows.

Later, she even made the battle nuns strip as a group in front of us under the pretense of judging heretics, and she even made me fondle her breasts with my own hand.

From Lizé’s perspective, these were more than enough actions to justify her anger.

‘Honestly, it’s unexpected, but…’

Since I had entered the world of Brightest Darkness 4, the word “common sense” had been continuously recording defeats.

It was all because of the mods applied here.

All the women walking on the streets were flawless beauties, thinking it was natural to walk around half-naked, and the indoors were filled with all sorts of modern items.

Based on my experience alone, even if heretics were judged in such a way, it wouldn’t be a completely bizarre situation.

In a village of one-eyed people, those with two intact eyes are considered monsters.

In a world where women like the Inquisitor and her direct subordinate battle nuns wore such clothes, what could possibly happen that I couldn’t accept?

“Can’t you hear me? I’m asking what you’re doing right now.”

When Stella didn’t respond, Lizé furrowed her brow and roughly pulled Stella’s wrist.

I felt the force pushing my hand against her breast slightly lightening.

The soft sensation on my palm gradually moved away, and the back of my hand hidden under the chest cover slowly became visible.

Then Lizé completely shook off Stella’s hand.

My arm was freed.

It felt like the unique warmth of her breast still lingered on my palm.

It would be a lie to say I didn’t feel any regret, but I didn’t want to show it.

Erica had also come to her senses at some point and drew her weapon, remaining vigilant against Stella and the battle nuns.

As a bonus, her face was slightly flushed.

In contrast, Stella seemed even more out of it than before.

She was muttering something incomprehensible with a dazed expression and fixed her gaze on me as if she had no interest in Lizé.

“What are you looking at? Won’t you turn your eyes away?”

Of course, Lizé immediately stopped her.

Lizé forcibly separated my wrist from Stella’s grip and pushed Stella back.

Stella staggered a few steps back.

I gently rubbed my seized wrist with my other hand.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be bruised.

My wrist was completely numb from how tightly she had been holding it.

That wasn’t the important thing right now.

I looked at Lizé, who was sticking close to my side as if guarding me.

“It seems you’ve regained your senses now. You were out of it until just now.”

“How could I not come to my senses when you were on the verge of getting into big trouble?”

Lizé gripped a dagger in each hand.

A chilling coldness lingered nearby.

I wondered where Erica had gone, but she was next to Claudia, wiping the sweat flowing from her face and neck.

“What kind of situation is this, Delta? Why were they taking off their sacred robes in front of you?”

“I don’t know either. They said they were judging heretics among themselves, but they did that.”

“You don’t know? Really?”

Lizé’s eyes held a hint of suspicion.

Considering the things I had solved so far, it was understandable to have a feeling that maybe this time too…

But this was something I truly didn’t know.

It was the first time I had experienced the Inquisitor coming all the way here, and who would have imagined that the method they used to judge heretics would be public exposure and fondling breasts?

“Hmm… Okay. I’ll believe you. You wouldn’t lie to us about such a thing.”

Lizé stared at me intently for a moment, then cleanly accepted my words that I didn’t know anything and turned her head back to Stella.

Stella was still frozen in a daze, muttering something incomprehensible, and the battle nuns were sitting on their knees with their buttocks pressed against the ground, looking dazed.

It was a sight that was even a bit eerie.

“So, you don’t know why they’re acting like that either?”

“I have a rough idea about that. It seems they’re acting that way because they sense sacred power from me.”

“…Sacred power?”

Lizé tilted her head as if asking what this meant.

“Delta, you said all your abilities had regressed. So why is sacred power sensed from you?”

‘Ah, come to think of it, I didn’t tell her about this.’

I kept thinking I should tell her, but I just forgot.

So it was natural for Lizé, who still thought all my stats were at 1, to react that way.

“My stats have increased a bit now. They’re no longer at 1.”

“What? Really?! But why didn’t you tell us until now?!”

“I forgot to tell you.”

“…”

Blue eyes that had turned sullen glared at me.

I couldn’t bring myself to meet those eyes, so I subtly avoided them.

Yeah, I know it sounds like an excuse.

But I really forgot to tell them because incidents kept happening.

Right after returning from meeting the Empress after wrapping up the lord’s matter, that golden knight came to monitor me shortly after, and then Inerma appeared next.

And after that, we went to defeat the Rock Centipede upon hearing the news that a rune had been discovered, and after obtaining the rune, the absurd incident of Aurora and the knight commanders plotting together to get me drunk and dig out my secrets occurred.

As the absurdity subsided a bit, the thought of progressing the main story came to mind first rather than the thought that I should reveal that my stats had increased.

“No matter how I look at it, it’s suspicious, Delta. You already knew in advance that they would act this way, didn’t you?”

“…I really didn’t.”

I made an effort to make excuses, and Lizé looked at me with an even deeper expression of suspicion, but eventually withdrew her gaze.

I let out a sigh of relief.

“So, what should we do about that?”

Lizé pointed her dagger at Stella.

She seemed to have gotten out of the shock a bit, but the way she looked at me had completely changed.

Up until now, her gaze had been docile on the surface but overflowing with confidence, but now it was a gaze mixed with all sorts of anguish and worries.

“I don’t know. I think we can just leave her like that and go.”

“Because you got confirmation that you’re not a heretic while touching her breasts?”

“…It was unavoidable. Really. How could I overpower her strength? She’s on par with you.”

“Whatever the case, you must have enjoyed touching her breasts. Right?”

“…”

As I fell silent, unable to say anything, Lizé smiled and brought her lips close to my ear.

“I have no intention of blaming you for such a thing, Delta. It’s like a man’s instinct, and I can fully understand it. So…”

ㅡTouch mine later too.

With those words, her lips moved away from my ear.

I stood there blankly for a moment, then looked at Lizé with eyes that seemed to ask what I had just heard.

What did she say to do later?

My gaze unconsciously turned downward.

There was a symbol of abundant motherhood swaying inside Lizé’s white sleeveless top in sync with her movements.

The swaying was tremendous because the clothes were thin to begin with and she wasn’t even wearing underwear.

Although Stella’s size could also be considered large, in terms of actual size, Lizé’s might be slightly biggerㅡ

“Interested?”

Lizé, who had instantly noticed my gaze, smiled meaningfully and slightly compressed her breasts with her right arm.

I made an effort to avert my gaze.

The smile on Lizé’s lips deepened.

“…You there.”

Then, suddenly hearing Stella’s voice, both of us were startled and turned our heads.

Unlike Lizé, I didn’t draw my weapon, but I didn’t let my guard down either.

“Judging you is no longer within my domain.”

The battle nuns hesitantly stood up behind Stella.

Their faces were still dazed, but their movements weren’t.

They were picking up their flails and shields with disciplined hand movements.

“If it’s not within your domain to judge, then what? How are you going to resolve it? Are you going to start another fight?”

“So, visit the Holy Kingdom of Raphaella later. I’ll arrange for you to have an audience with Her Holiness the Pope.”

Stella’s words surprised not only me but also Lizé, who had been growling beside me.

Allowing us to meet the Pope of the Sun was a truly big decision, considering the status the Pope held in the Holy Kingdom.

Even in the game, in order to meet the Pope, you had to complete a huge number of quests beforehand, and even if you used a trick to skip a large portion of the process, it was never easy.

I had been contemplating how to meet the Pope because of the spell I needed to obtain from him, but this was an unexpected blessing.

“Head towards the largest gate in the Holy Kingdom. Just tell the holy knight there that Inquisitor Stella has granted you an audience with Her Holiness the Pope. You will be able to receive guidance.”

“…Why are you doing so much for us? Are you sorry now that you look back on it or something?”

“Because you might be the person Her Holiness spoke of.”

“What do you meanㅡ”

Before I could ask what she meant by the Pope speaking about me, Stella raised her right hand.

White light gathered on her palm.

Lizé, who had the experience of being hit by white light and afflicted with Purification, flinched.

On the other hand, I remained calm.

That wasn’t the form of a sacred spell that inflicted Purification.

Based on my memory, it was probably a sacred spell for healing.

ㅡLet the touch of the divine reach you.

With Stella’s incantation, a soft white light spread out and enveloped Claudia’s body.

Then, Claudia, who had been coughing as if her lungs would tear apart just moments ago, returned with a healthy face.

Erica’s eyes beside her widened.

As Claudia recovered, Lizé also seemed to relax her guard a bit and slowly lowered her daggers.

Judging by her expression, she still didn’t seem to like Stella.

“I deeply apologize for arbitrarily calling you a heretic. I’ll make amends.”

Stella bowed her head to me.

It was a completely different attitude from when we first met.

The knight commanders seemed to have difficulty adjusting to Stella’s drastically changed attitude and had peculiar eyes.

Honestly, I felt the same way.

“I’ll be waiting in the Holy Kingdom. Please visit as soon as possible.”

And with those words, Stella quietly turned her back, leading the battle nuns.

We blankly watched their departing figures.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

“Inquisitor Stella, that man is…”

“I know, Iris.”

On the way back to the Holy Kingdom, Stella and her subordinate battle nuns were still walking in a daze.

They had thought that man was definitely a heretic, but he wasn’t, and it was even revealed that he possessed sacred power despite lacking faith.

The shock Stella and the battle nuns had received was beyond imagination.

“…We must return to Her Holiness and inform her of this fact.”

That’s right.

This matter had to be made known to the Pope as a top priority.

Stella hastened her steps.

Perhaps, she thought, that man might be the “prophet” Her Holiness had spoken of.
