Chapter 99 – The Saintess’S Weakness
“I’m not really sure how Oppa will react after hearing what I have to say. Whether he’ll get angry… or if he’ll just accept my proposal as it is…”
Yuliana’s expression clearly showed a hint of unease as she continued to speak.
Nevertheless, she didn’t hesitate to continue.
“Oppa, you see… I’m a bad fox who hurt my friends who cared for me, all because I wanted to protect the person I had a crush on. I regret it a lot now… but even if I could go back, I’d make the same choice. Because if things don’t go well… if the goddess by your side isn’t Elina but some other evil god, and if there’s a future where you’re in danger… that might exist.”
Yuliana tried to force a smile as she looked at me.
“That’s why I’m going to tell you about the Aris family. If it means I can help you, Oppa, I’m willing to be the worst fox in the world. Even if I fall into hell alone, I’ll never regret that choice. Because I believe that one day, you’ll come to see me.”
“Yuliana, I don’t like hearing things like that.”
“Yeah, I know. But I thought I had to say this. I’m really serious.”
Then, a natural smile appeared on her lips.
“You know it too, right? That no one can stop Yuliana when she’s being serious.”
“…So, you’re saying you’re going to tell me everything regardless of what I want?”
“Yeah. I think you’ll go save Yerim no matter what… and I still haven’t found my original body, so it’ll take a while before I can go down to the surface. I want to help in any way I can. Of course, I’m not trying to force you to choose. It’s just… for some reason, I think you… might come up with a much better plan than me, so I’m telling you. It’s up to you how you use my information.”
I nodded slightly.
As she had stated herself, Yuliana, when serious, always achieved her goals no matter what.
“Aris’s family… they live in a place that’s decorated like a church, just like you said earlier. It’s located 5km east of the Imperial Capital.”
“Hmm. That’s close to the Irem Order. So you’re saying Aris’s family is living under their protection? The Order wouldn’t have given them the land entirely.”
“Officially, yes. Even if they’re the Saintess’s family, they can’t give them that much special treatment. But in reality, they’re staying somewhere else.”
“Did they hide it for safety?”
“That too, but I think it’s also to give them a large mansion for the two of them. From what I’ve heard, it’s twice as big as your mansion. And they’ve selected only the sister paladins among the paladins recognized by Bell to guard the perimeter. Bell probably doesn’t know about this. It seems that the paladin order was only told that they were guarding a high-ranking noble’s mansion, and they’re using portals to move around, so their exact location isn’t known.”
“How many troops are there?”
“Five sister paladins, and I don’t know how many other troops they have.”
So far, there was nothing too strange about it.
If I hadn’t known the truth about Aris, I would have thought it was impossible.
But that bitch, who was obsessed with lust and the desire for demonic energy, who had countless times violated me and humiliated Yerim, was capable of anything.
It was actually surprising that she had only placed sister paladins recognized by Bell.
From what I’d seen over the past two weeks, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had used 90% of the Order’s forces to protect her family.
“But the troops mobilized in case of emergency aren’t all. I know they have a scroll that can open a portal to the Imperial Capital. And it’s not a scroll made for a small party, but one that can move hundreds of people at once.”
“Hmm. That’s definitely suspicious. It’s not like mages who can handle such portals are common.”
“Yeah. But it probably didn’t come from the Magic Tower. Cien wouldn’t agree to such a request.”
“That’s right.”
“I want to tell you as much as I can… but I don’t know the exact location of their family right now. But I know about two people who might know.”
Yuliana paused for a moment.
“One is the goddess Elysia. She would be able to track their exact location.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“I don’t think that goddess would care about the Saintess’s family…”
No matter how I thought about it, it was strange.
A goddess who spends most of her time in the temple wouldn’t come down to the surface, and there would need to be special conditions for her to find the location of a specific human.
Prayers through the Order.
Making a one-on-one contract like I did before.
And like when Elina was sulking, drawing attention by throwing indiscriminate insults at the goddess.
I made a contract with the condition that I would join the hero party with the promise of returning to Earth.
Aris received the holy mark as a Saintess, so a contract itself isn’t necessary.
But if her parents and younger sister were living normal lives, the possibility of them meeting those conditions would be extremely low.
As if she had read my expression, Yuliana nodded slightly.
“That younger sister… is a special existence. Originally…”
She pressed her lips together and then opened them again.
“Her younger sister, not her, should have become the Saintess.”
*Crack.*
“Hngh…!”
“…Sorry.”
I accidentally hugged Yuliana too tightly.
“Uhh… it’s okay, Oppa. Are you tired from holding me? Let’s go over there and sit comfortably.”
After walking a bit, I put Yuliana down on the floor and we sat leaning against the wall side by side.
“Can I… lean my head on you…?”
“Do as you please.”
“Hehe…♥”
Yuliana, who had leaned her head on me, continued to speak.
“The younger sister also has a holy mark. Unlike Aris, whose mark is almost always faint, hers is much more vivid, so anyone could recognize it in the past.”
“It seems the younger sister was born with the holy mark first.”
“Yeah. Unlike Aris, who gained the qualifications of a Saintess right before becoming an adult, the younger sister was born with the goddess’s light. So, Aris was very weak before she got the holy mark.”
I remembered something Seri had told me.
Aris, my childhood friend of 20 years, had been weak since she was little, so she had been bullied a lot.
That’s why Seri had stayed by her side all day to protect her.
“But suddenly, Aris was chosen as the Saintess, and after that, the younger sister completely lost her energy. I heard that even taking a walk in the garden is difficult for her… Anyway, for that reason, she’s living in the mansion under her mother’s care.”
“And the people in the Order don’t know much about that?”
“Yeah. I guess Aris got the portal scroll through personal channels. I know quite a few mages in the Imperial Capital, but none of them knew about a scroll made for that purpose.”
“……”
I quietly closed my mouth.
I now understood why Yuliana had mentioned the goddess first.
Seri would also know the location of that family.
I also remembered hearing that they had gone to their hometown together.
In the first place, it was the priest Seri who was in charge of being Aris’s personal bodyguard.
She wouldn’t have been able to tell Seri, whom she trusted so much, that her hymen had disappeared without a trace while I was having sex with her.
It didn’t make sense that she had no connection with Aris’s younger sister, whom she had been close to since childhood.
“Oppa.”
Yuliana smiled faintly as she held my hand.
“Seri probably had the same thoughts as me and hesitated to tell you. Even if she’s evil… touching a family that has nothing to do with it… is something a person shouldn’t do. Seri is… a much kinder person than me…”
“But you’re still telling me about her family? Are you trying to be a bad fox…?”
“Yeah. No matter how I think about it, this is the right thing to do. Aris values her family the most. And if the Saintess touched your demonic energy, and if she’s been hiding it so well that even the goddess didn’t notice… the goddess who was backing the Saintess might even take your side. That’s all I have to say. The rest is up to you to choose in the direction you want.”
Yuliana, who was holding my hand tightly, lowered her head.
“But… you know, after knowing everything that happened to you and Yerim… I want you to solve this, even if it means doing such bad things.”
She slowly stretched out her arms and hugged me.
“You can use me as much as you want. You can tell others that it was Yuliana’s idea, and that this was the only way. It would be even better if you said that I did it first, and you had no choice but to use the situation.
“……”
“Yerim, after she grew distant from you… she was very cold to me too. But like she was to you… she was also a precious sister that I wanted to hug anytime. So, this time… I’ll bet everything I have to help you. But you have to save Yerim.”
I quietly let go of Yuliana’s hand.
The still pure fox girl knew that a handprint was the most precious promise.
The answer was enough by touching the tips of our fingers.
“Hehe…♥ I have a secret promise with Oppa…♥”
“I’ll be back. Rest well, Yuliana.”
“Okay. See you later, Oppa♥”
After stroking Yuliana’s head, who had kissed my cheek, I slowly got up.
Thanks to Elina, I had a pretty long trip in my dream, so I should go back and give her a reward.
I walked out, receiving Yuliana’s farewell, and opened the real door that Elina had mentioned and went inside.
*
I had definitely woken up from the dream, but I couldn’t see clearly in front of me.
It probably takes a little time to fully regain my senses.
As I waited quietly, I started to hear sounds from below.
“Wow…♥ As expected of Cien unnie…♥ Oppa’s dick went in and hid…♥”
“I heard that Master likes to have his dick embraced by breasts♥”
“I’m jealous…♥ If Elina’s breasts get bigger, she can do it too…♥”
“Hmm~♥ Then unnie will specially give way and let you take out Master’s dick~♥”
Squeak, squeak.
“How is it? With this, unnie can press down with her breasts, and Elina can eat it with her mouth-pussy, right?”
“Uhh… but, unnie… didn’t you also want to do the boob-press…?”
“Yeah, but… our Elina also has to be loved by Master! Let’s both work hard to make Master’s dick feel good!”
“Okay! I’ll try my best! Haaah…♥”
Slurp, slurp….
“Is it tasty?”
“Sooo tasty…♥ Heuuub…♥ Slurrrp…♥”
Hmm. My bitches were satisfyingly eating my dick.
Not only had the pink-haired duo reunited, but the older sister was doing a paizuri, and the younger sister was doing a fellatio.
It wasn’t something you’d see often, so I should pretend to be asleep for a while.
