For most people, the unremarkable years, the quietly passing time, and the coming and going pedestrians were merely scenes in each other’s backdrop. In a sudden turn of the head, the dim lights revealed only the shadow of a tree—except for Ophelia, who wanted to touch that thing.
This girl was a pervert.
Just as Schiller was waking up from his sleep, he quickly sensed that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Ophelia was… was…
He had intended to wait until Ophelia had finished before waking up, but he hadn’t expected her to become even more brazen.
If it went on like that, he would probably be the one who couldn’t hold back.
“In a lifetime, how many perverts can one meet?”
“First a yandere, and now a pervert.”
He suspected that he had some kind of strange-woman-attracting device, or perhaps there were no normal women left in this world.
Ophelia abruptly pulled her hand back, her face a mixture of anger and shyness:
“What do you mean by that! You’re the one in heat, aren’t you? So full of energy first thing in the morning.”
She hastily defended herself.
Schiller rolled his eyes at her, grabbing the blanket to cover that part. It was because she had hugged him first, and his body’s reaction was merely a physiological one!
Absolutely, absolutely no lust involved!
He already knew she was a complete weirdo, but he hadn’t expected her personality to remain unchanged even after losing her memory.
“Is this what they call a soul?”
In other words, a perverted soul would remain perverted no matter how many times it was reincarnated.
Conclusion: the Saintess, Ophelia, was a lewd and naughty child.
“How philosophical.”
Just as Schiller was lost in his aimless thoughts, Ophelia’s slightly awkward voice sounded:
“Don’t, don’t just stand there, think about what to do next.”
“Oh, right!” Schiller suddenly came to his senses. He had been so focused on escaping Sheryl’s clutches that he had no plan for the next step.
However, in general, he hoped to quickly improve his own strength. Secondly, it might be a good idea to embark on a journey to find the protagonist.
“Wait, isn’t being an adventurer a great choice?!”
Hunting monsters could both improve his strength and prevent him from starving to death.
With his previous experience, Schiller decided not to actively check Ophelia’s favorability.
“If I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist!”
“What do you mean by ‘oh, right’…” The girl, speechless, pushed open the door and stretched under the sun. Her golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight, and her beautiful face was tinged with a hint of charm.
“…”
‘This girl is definitely perverted!’
Schiller confirmed his thoughts in his mind.
After some discussion, the two decided to search the surroundings for clues first.
After all, an empty village was too strange.
Ophelia rummaged through the bushes and soon found something. She beckoned Schiller to come over:
“Hey, come and see!”
In the overgrown ground, there was a damaged stone monument.
[Clarice Village] The undamaged part of the monument recorded these words.
“It says Clarice Village here. Does it ring a bell?” Ophelia tilted her head and looked at Schiller.
“Hmm… no…” He had only briefly looked at the map of this world. He had no time to study every small village in detail.
And Ophelia, due to her amnesia, knew nothing.
“How strange…”
“An empty village… ah! So that means!”
Ophelia put on a thoughtful expression. After a moment of contemplation, she put her hands behind her head and laughed, “Heheh.”
“I don’t know!”
She glanced at Schiller several times, but found his expression surprisingly serious.
“Eh? Did you find something?” She came closer, her eyes shining.
“No, nothing.” Schiller shook his head.
In games, an empty village almost always meant something bad.
Far from the city, sparsely populated, whatever was done there would not be discovered.
And in Ophelia’s route, the world-destroying giant spider she created came from a laboratory under a certain village.
‘Secret human experiments by the church, the revival ceremony of demonkin by cultists…’
Honestly, he wouldn’t be surprised if a humanoid gundam appeared.
“It can’t be…”
His luck couldn’t be that bad.
“It’s just a coincidence, right!” Occasionally, the entire village might go on a trip… occasionally…
He forcibly shook the thought from his mind and looked at Ophelia. She had her hands on her hips, her chest puffed out, desperately trying to put on a dignified look.
“I’m not a child, you know!”
For some reason, that sentence only seemed to be said by children.
He seemed to be unconsciously stroking the hair of the Ophelia before him. She puffed out her cheeks with a slight dissatisfaction, but had no intention of pulling away.
“Like a hamster.”
But because her angry expression was too cute, she looked like a pouting golden squirrel.
After that, the two found a river near the village and immediately decided to follow it to find a main road.
If they were lucky and found a city, they could just find a place to use as a base and start their adventuring activities!
“A blessing for a wonderful adventurer’s life!”
Schiller silently prayed to himself in his heart.
Candlelight flickered on the walls, casting long, dark shadows.
“The Saintess’s aura.”
The owner of the voice wore thick glasses, his hands moving back and forth nervously. He tousled his unkempt hair.
Since a certain night two days ago, he had felt Ophelia’s aura. But that aura was a holy aura that could not be suppressed in any way, and was particularly sensitive to someone like him who had lived underground for many years.
[Blessing of the Holy God], Ophelia was blessed by the Holy God, and her body constantly emitted a holy aura.
Let alone low-level imps, even high-level vampires would have to weigh their own strength before approaching her.
“What on earth is going on?” According to the reports, the Saintess should have disappeared for no reason. Why would she appear in his experimental area…
“Could it be that my secret human experiments have been discovered!” He paced around the room in a panic, his anxious forehead covered in beads of sweat.
Nominally, he was a researcher affiliated with the church, but he belonged to the Cardinal’s faction.
And Ophelia was the leader of the Saintess’s faction. Once she discovered his secret experiments, the Cardinal would probably cut his losses immediately.
After all, in recent years, the Cardinal’s power had been declining, while Ophelia’s faction had taken the main position in the church.
Therefore, the Cardinal had launched secret research throughout the empire—“Artificial Saintess”—in an attempt to break the Saintess’s irreplaceability and reduce her power.
In fact, the experiments were not going well, but there had been some results.
For example, he had discovered a possible similar composition between “holy magic” and “demonkin magic,” which would undoubtedly cause an earthquake in the magical world.
However, the experimental results would be meaningless if they were not preserved.
And with Ophelia’s strength, she could probably retreat unscathed even if she encountered a demonkin, let alone a powerless researcher like himself.
And this Saintess had been patiently staying above him for two days, as if saying, “Oh my, why aren’t you running yet? Don’t you want to?”
He had had the honor of meeting that sultry Saintess. Those were definitely words that would come from her mouth.
To her, he was just a dispensable plaything… not even that, just a way to pass the time.
There were rumors that she could even use a ten-chant Grand Holy Magic, and she was still so young. How terrifying.
“What should I do, what should I do!” Just as he was becoming more and more anxious, and even prepared to perish together, Ophelia’s aura disappeared.
He collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
“Could it be, just a warning?” He didn’t think Ophelia hadn’t noticed him, but she had left as if nothing had happened.
“Or perhaps, she simply doesn’t care? Doesn’t care about the so-called—Artificial Saintess.”
