“Fury Strike!”
With Kelly, the vanguard, landing the final blow, the four defeated the area miniboss, the Stone River Clam.
Stone Fang raised her shield in cheer.
“Nice! We’re getting better at this!”
Meng Linna nodded too.
“It’s our teamwork improving. Let’s call it a day. Head back early so that dead keycap can pay us.”
Everything was fine.
They seemed like a solid team.
Except…
Na Naya nodded at Meng Linna.
“It’s good.”
Their interactions seemed polite.
But Stone Fang felt uneasy.
Over-politeness was just distance, right?
She hoped everyone got along.
But for now, she had no way.

“Ah, a perfect date ruined by someone.”
A full day later, the evil fire god still nagged in Na Naya’s head.
“I said, we weren’t on a date yesterday.”
Unable to take the evil god anymore, Na Naya snapped back.
“First doctor visit together, then mission, then lunch… If no fight, next step’s a hotel, right?”
A brat counted on fingers in Na Naya’s mind.
Obviously the evil fire god.
“Our relationship’s not what you think.”
“Then why not try improving it?”
They argued the whole way.
No sound escaped, but Na Naya’s gloomy face caught Meng Linna’s eye.
This kid’s tough to please.
She’d hoped to bond a bit.
Meng Linna felt deflated.
Maybe normal friends was enough.
What was that “punishment” she mentioned?
Probably nothing big, right?
With their thoughts, they returned to the Adventurer’s Guild.
Waiting wasn’t just the greedy Miao Miao Niya.
“Ah, Little Meng’s here!”
Ji Jige turned, beaming at Meng Linna.
The sudden cardinal made Meng Linna’s brain freeze.
“Huh, Big Dyke? What’re you doing here?”
“Big Dyke?”
Ji Jige heard her new nickname and crossed her arms, faking anger.
“You’d better not talk nonsense!”
Meng Linna shrugged.
“Pretend I didn’t say it.”
She ignored Ji Jige, placing her materials and notes on the desk.
She signaled Miao Miao Niya to tally.
During this, Ji Jige leaned in curiously, eyeing Meng Linna’s submission.
“Stone River Clam meat, huh.”
“B-rank monster, but with your team’s setup, solid haul.”
A quick glance, and Ji Jige gauged their strengths.
Stone Fang and Kelly didn’t know this cardinal.
But her fancy red robe screamed high rank.
Ji Jige glanced at Na Naya behind her, correcting herself.
“But with you two, the results make sense.”
Was Ji Jige this nosy?
Meng Linna recalled her past life.
Ji Jige was her drinking buddy, did missions together.
But honestly, she should be a cold bishop type.
Warm with her after drinks, complaining about peasants or cute girls.
But in public, Ji Jige was aloof.
Most underling communication fell to Meng Linna.
Why so outgoing now?
Maybe because Meng Linna wasn’t a bishop this life?
As Meng Linna stared blankly at Ji Jige, the cardinal noticed.
They locked eyes.
Ji Jige smiled.
“What, thinking about me?”
Meng Linna looked away, embarrassed.
“You’re too full of yourself.”
To change the subject, she turned to Miao Miao Niya.
“Materials tallied?”
“Done ages ago.”
Miao Miao Niya shoved the pouch at Meng Linna dismissively, resuming her ledger.
For Ji Jige’s presence, Miao Miao Niya seemed used to it.
Meng Linna took the pouch, quickly splitting today’s pay.
She prepared to bolt.
But Ji Jige, watching the whole time, wouldn’t let her escape.
“Little Meng Sister?”
Meng Linna turned guiltily.
“What’s up?”
Was this about settling scores?
Her Flame Evil God performance might call for a Tribunal grilling.
No way!
“Our local church needs hands. And look, two nuns right in front of me.”
Ji Jige smiled at Meng Linna and Na Naya.
“What do you mean ‘our local church’?”
Meng Linna looked confused.
“There’s a church in Yanan?”
Miao Miao Niya chimed in.
“The church bought the bar next door. They turned it into a small chapel.”
Meng Linna stared at Ji Jige in disbelief.
“A church in Yanan? You serious?”
The church always saw corpse-researching Yanan as heretics.
Yet now they built a chapel here?
Something’s fishy!
“It’s built already.”
Ji Jige’s face said “What can you do about it?”
“And I’m temp regional bishop here. No usable clergy on hand right now. But luckily, two free laborers right here!”
“I respectfully decline!”
Meng Linna crossed her arms.
***
For Na Naya, Ji Jige was an acquaintance, but not close.
They’d fought the evil fire god together once.
But their relationship was average.
Somehow, this woman was oddly close to Scumbag Miss.
Right away, Ji Jige called her “Little Meng.”
Scumbag Miss wasn’t little.
No, the “little” probably meant closeness.
But why were they so close?
Na Naya couldn’t figure it out.
