Chapter 5

"──What could she be thinking about right now?"

After leaving the office, I smiled to myself in my room.

I can read my foolish sister's thoughts like an open book.

‘You must have some experience even without divine magic. Show them the dignity of an ‘Elder.’’

‘That’s right. Sister, you’re so reliable! You have to have confidence!’

I struggled to suppress my laughter, and my body wouldn’t stop shaking.

Did I look scared enough?

‘Please, I’ll do anything here...!’

I acted with all my heart and soul.

I played the role of a sister being unjustly oppressed, like a pitiful lamb.

‘I hear that you’ve been dumping all your work on the Great Saint here and leisurely reading books in your room. Why do you think we keep you around, even though you can no longer use divine magic? It’s to do the menial tasks. A Saint who abandons her duties is of no use to our church!’

What a troublesome man, this Cardinal. "Our church," indeed.

If the Pope heard that, he might faint.

But it’s convenient for me.

He’s revealing his flaws on his own.

"Hehe. Does he think I’m just being insulted for free?"

I muttered while rolling the crystal ball in my hand.

Unlike the first time, I’m not the ‘good girl’ who endures unpleasant things.

So, I should keep this recording device safe.

It’s about the size that fits in my pocket, and it would be a waste to lose it.

"Cardinal, you also helped to kill me, didn’t you?"

Thinking about it, he’s a pitiful man.

He doesn’t know that I approve 90% of the cathedral’s administrative work...

He’s being deceived by Eustia’s sweet talk. He probably even let her touch his butt.

‘I’m not pushing work onto my sister. I’m working hard...’

‘Shut up! The words of a useless person are always the same! You’re not at fault. It’s all because of her, all because of her, just excuses! I’m sick of it! Your words are not worth listening to!’

Hehe. Useless, huh.

Unfortunately, I’m not a useless person who can’t recognize my own abilities.

Currently, I handle 90% of the temple’s administrative work.

It’s the Great Saint Eustia’s job, after all.

If I’m gone, all the work will fall on her.

But there’s nothing to be done, right?

After all, it was her own decision to get rid of me.

Of course, I have no intention of letting it end there.

The Cardinal, who is laughing now, will eventually learn the truth.

By the time he asks me to come back, it will be too late.

‘I, I understand... I’ll go to the front lines.’

‘Hehe. You should have said that from the beginning.’

I did try to defend myself, didn’t I?

It’s your fault for not listening, Cardinal.

And Eustia.

You think you’ve pushed me down, don’t you?

But the entire exchange went exactly as I planned.

Yes, I wanted to go to the front lines from the beginning.

And the assignment location—

‘That place is fine! Look, the ‘Reaper’s’ unit!’

Ah, it was really hard to hold back my laughter!

For everything to go so smoothly, it’s as if God is being stylish. I thought Eustia would definitely take the bait if I clung to her pitifully.

‘Sister, you’ll be assigned to the Reaper’s unit. Yes, it’s decided!’

──The ‘Reaper’ Gultia Harkley.

The person Eustia cursed so harshly is my favorite.

She is the benefactor who saved me in my first life.

Since my second life began, I’ve been thinking.

What do I want to do in this life?

I won’t do things I don’t like. I’ll say what I want to say.

I’ll do what I want to do, the way I like.

And—save my favorite.

In other words, I’m going to be a fan.

Despite all the bad rumors...

The real Gultia is stronger and kinder than anyone else.

She’s just a boy suffering from loneliness.

She doesn’t mind the insults and even becomes the villain to protect people.

I love her so much, I want to support her forever.

I won’t mind any hardship to support her.

In my first life, she was betrayed by the church and died.

I don’t want to see that despair again. I will save her no matter what.

I’ll use any means necessary.

Even if I’m called a villain, I don’t care. In fact, I welcome it.

Goodbye, Sun Church.

Enjoy your carefree days, unaware that the time of destruction is near.

“Since I’ve received permission, let’s go right away.”

Hehe. The beginning of a fun second life!
