The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

"So, I want pudding."

Squatting on his chair, it was the greatest behind-the-scenes controller of the Temple of Radiance, the pope who looked like a little girl, with a look of wistful eyes, "Little Lucy, go shopping with the little knight!"

"..." Lucini looked at her with a smile, but didn't speak.It's just that the smile on his face is a little stiff.

This guy, Pope Bishop, has clearly turned into a big-breasted, slender-waisted, long-legged... black, long, straight big sister, yet he wants to turn back into a little girl to act coquettishly and cute!

Shameful!Acting like a baby is obviously her patent? !

"Oh, little Lucine is not considerate at all..."

The Pope puffed up her cheeks. If it weren't for the fact that her eyes were not soft at all, it would still be quite lethal.

"It seems that the Pope is very familiar with the state of children."

Without showing any timidity on her face, the Holy Maiden quickly recovered her composure.

"I changed back to this form and stayed here because of you, little Lucy."

The Pope's tone remained unchanged, but he looked at Lucini but tried his best to make an expression that seemed to say "I'm so pitiful".

In fact, thanks to the ceremony performed by His Excellency the Great Sage, the current Pope will no longer suddenly fall into a deep sleep, and she will no longer turn into a little boy.

The Pope should not have remained in this world.She should maintain her original adult appearance, go to the place where the goddess Itenna exists, and look for the trace of the goddess.

...However, His Excellency the Pope stayed with a deadpan face.

The excuses used were still such brazen rhetoric as "little Lucy can't be alone for the time being, so I have to work hard for me to stay here".

Out of the motivation to stay, the Pope's body also shrank back to his young appearance.Unfortunately, the other people present didn't even take a closer look at the original appearance of the other party.

Lucini was already very familiar with the Pope's various behaviors, and Lucini, who knew the past of the Pope from the mouth of the great sage, was slightly moved by the elder's choice at the moment.

Of course, she would never show it on the surface, not only that, but Luxini also expressed her dislike: a thousand-year-old single woman, don't pretend to be tender here, hurry up and chase your wife!

"Little Lucyne—" the Pope's hand had caught the muffin that had grown into a ball at some point, "Your contract fairy is in my hand, and I will tear it up."

Muffin looked at this and then at that, its cheeks were bulging, and it didn't seem to resist at all while it was still eating.

"The price of letting the saint go on errands is very serious?"

"In the name of the Pope, I will give you three...no, five days off. During these five days, you can go anywhere and do what you want. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you."

"Ok?"

"Bedwell is also on vacation. Not only that, I will also allocate funds to you and give you a hundred gold coins as pocket money for these five days!"

The Pope is a little bit heartbroken. You must know that the Temple of Radiance is the most frugal temple, and every silver coin must be spent wisely.These one hundred gold coins are her private money——

Well, for the Pope who has lived for many years, the private money of a hundred gold coins is nothing, but no matter what, it is a snack money deducted from her fingers!

"Deal." Lucini turned and left, and the last voice came from outside the door, "Then, please leave the official document to my dear Pope."

The pope paused when he heard the words, and stared at the door with dull eyes, but his heart was frightened: official document?What official document?Wasn't little Lucine finished?

When the sound of Lucini's footsteps disappeared, she took a deep breath and jumped off the chair.

The Pope walked to the window, her emerald eyes were soft and far-reaching that did not match her personality, and she silently mouthed.

"Get ready, Cecilia."

On the highest floor of the library of the Imperial Royal Academy, His Excellency the Great Sage, who closed his eyes tightly, nodded slightly in the direction of the temple.

"How about my dear? Surprise or not? Surprise or not?"

Standing on the edge of the Martial Arts Field, in front of the Holy Maiden is Miss Knight who just came down from the Martial Arts Field.

Surrounding the two were the girls protecting the Knights.Among them, a girl with twin ponytails named Silvia has the most shining eyes, and her gossip is almost written on her face.

This is the first time that the Holy Maiden has come to the residence of the Guardian Knights!The last time she saw Lady Saint was during the Lich incident in Lapuyard.

Then, the surroundings of Bedwell and Lucini were covered by the light curtain of divine magic, not only they couldn't hear the sound, they couldn't even see people.

"Oh~" Silvia was very disappointed.She didn't dare to talk to the Holy Maiden rashly, and now she couldn't even eavesdrop on the conversation.

Signe, the deputy leader who has been silent all this time, glanced at her with a smile: "If you're so curious, how about asking after the leader and the Holy Maiden finish talking?"

Silvia immediately shook her head crazily: "No, no, I suddenly thought of a new move, and I will try it right away."

Signe just smiled when he heard that, and the knight with two ponytails stuck out his tongue and slipped away.

Inside the divine magic light curtain, the Holy Maiden was full of anticipation.

Bedwell just heard Lucini's words and approached the other party, but she was blocked by the isolation magic in the next second. If it wasn't for the saint, she would have drawn her sword immediately.

At this time, Miss Knight just blinked in confusion: "Sorry, I don't quite understand..."

In terms of surprise, it was indeed very unexpected, but in terms of surprise, there were not many surprises.

She never thought that the saint would come here to find herself.After a short period of daze, he became nervous: "Do you have anything? As long as you call, I will rush to your side no matter where you are, and you don't need to come by yourself—"

Lucini's expression made Bedwell shut up.

She... She shouldn't have said anything strange... Why did the Holy Maiden show such an expression?Although she didn't know why, Bedwell's first reaction was to plead guilty.Lucini stopped her.

Lady Saint's grievances came and went quickly, she took Bedwell's arm affectionately: "Baiwei, look at the weather today is very good!"

Bedwell heard the words and looked at the gray sky. It looked like it would rain soon... It was quite cool, but it didn't have much to do with "very good".

"Don't pay attention to these things!" Lucy Ni just wanted to find something to say, she shook Bedwell's arm like a brat, "I say, I say!"

"I'm listening, please tell me, my lord saint."

Bedwell, who is no longer as stiff as before, has also grown up since she is very familiar with Lucini's hands and feet and acting like a baby from time to time.She maintained an unmoving expression, just as if the touch of a certain part rubbing against her arm didn't exist.

"The Pope is very sympathetic to his subordinates and gave us five days off to do whatever we want." Although her prayers on Sundays are essential, "it's not far from 'that', my dear Do you want to accompany Lu to get ready?"

"that……

Before you know it, this time has come, and it's time for the saint to grow up.Lady Saint's 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony... or something.

Subconsciously ignoring the fact that she was born on the same day as Lucini, Bedwell, who had automatically brought the mentality of an elder, showed a smile on her face.

"It is an honor of the minister."

The author has something to say: the two sessions were held recently, and I really want to work overtime
