Hush Now, Saintess! - Chapter 112
Chapter 112
Translator: Yonnee
—
[ One of the victims at the scene, who remembered the situation, testified:
—The Saintess, dripping with sweat, blessed everyone with holy water. When it was my turn, I felt an evil energy leave my body as I was enveloped in the sacred water, and for the first time in a long while, I was able to sleep peacefully. I can’t remember the last time I slept so soundly.
The Imperial Family announced a thorough investigation into this incident and promised to aid and support the victims.
.
.
Additionally, according to the reporter’s research, this was not the first time the Saintess acted upon a prophecy.
It is said that when Crown Prince Hildeon personally led the operation to clean up the criminal district known as < Bastion >, the Saintess was present.
Having received the prophecy to ‘protect the sacred relic from being illegally traded’, the Saintess bravely entered Bastion alone.
Despite facing several life-threatening situations, the Saintess did not falter and protected the sacred relic.
.
.
Moreover, according to an investigation conducted by the temple, the Saintess is currently pushing for the construction of a ‘fountain’ for the benefit of the citizens and the temple.
The writer dares to assert that the woman once labeled a ‘villainess’ or ‘fake saintess’ is no longer such.
Ducal Lady Roella Brietta may very well be the most genuine saint of our time.
It’s time to forget her past dishonor. ]
“Uh, what the heck?”
This is really overwhelming…?
What is this grand article even about?
Anyone would think a hero of troubled times had appeared.
And to bring up the incident in Bastion too.
‘That was something only nobles and priests knew about.’
I was impressed by the reporter’s information-gathering abilities.
“…Still, it’s not a bad feeling.”
I can’t remember the last time an article spoke positively about me.
Until now, every article about Roella was something like this—
< Exclusive! The Saintess, Causing Havoc?! >
< Is she really a Saintess or just a Villainess?! >
< It’s not even news anymore! The Saintess threw another tantrum! >
< Just stop already! >
They were all like that.
Additionally, there was one more good thing.
〈 Your reputation has increased by 5 due to the impact of the article.
Current Reputation: 52 〉
I finally succeeded in surpassing a reputation score of 50.
Ding—!
〈 Your reputation has surpassed 50!
You may now disable the profanity censorship setting!
Would you like to disable it? 〉
It seemed that since my reputation had surpassed 50, such an alert appeared.
I contemplated disabling it for a moment… but I decided to leave it as it was.
As the number increased, oddly enough, I found my reputation to be more precious.
What if I said something wrong and my valuable reputation decreased?
With the censorship filter, there was no risk of my reputation dropping due to a slip of the tongue.
Of course, I had to be careful not to accidentally confess to an enemy.
‘I just need to be more cautious myself.’
I smiled contentedly and made a resolution.
Now, the remaining task is…
“Are you going to keep feigning ignorance, hm?”
< Nya? >
It was Jelly, who had been pretending not to know for days on end.
* * *
“What exactly are you?”
< Nya? >
“What do you know about me?”
< Nyaa? >
“What about the system? Can you tell me about the system?”
< Nya, nyaa? >
After days of the same situation, I narrowed my eyes.
Oh, I see. You don’t intend to talk.
Instead of pressing further, I smiled and hugged Jelly.
“Now I see, I must have dreamed that day. You’re just an ordinary cat.”
Purring contentedly, Jelly responded with a happy purr.
“But now you seem to be completely healed.”
< …Nya? >
“Your body is plump, and your fur is glossy. Right?”
< Nyaaa…? >
“That’s great. It seems it’s time to return you to your original home. Right, Jelly?”
< Nya, nya! Nyaaoo! >
Startled, Jelly squirmed and meowed.
Nope, not a chance.
“Let’s see, when is my next theology lesson again…?”
As I seriously checked the calendar, Jelly jumped out of my arms.
And then.
< Nyao, you can’t! Don’t send me back, nya! >
“Finally decided to talk, huh, you little rascal.”
Startled, Jelly blinked.
< …Nya? >
“It doesn’t work anymore. Stop meowing.”
< …Nyowkay. >
Resigned, Jelly sat politely in front of me. I crossed my arms and looked down at him.
‘…Cute.’
Yes. He was cute.
No, that’s not it.
“So, what are you?”
< …I am a sacred beast. >
“How does a sacred beast know about my past life and the system?”
< Umm… >
