[Hidden Quest Cleared]
[Captured the Church Executive – Elsa of Temptation]
[You will be rewarded with 5,000 points.]
Crazy.
I almost cursed out loud without realizing it.
It was an unexpected event.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say I didn’t expect a reward for capturing Elsa.
However, I never expected it to be 5,000 points.
In fact, 5,000 points is enough to buy a trait or talent in the cash shop.
Let’s take a look at the status window.David von Kaine.
Age: 20.
Traits: Game Settings Ability, Return by Death, Quality Change.
Talents: Mana, Delusion, Demon Magic.
Points: 7,500.
Seeing the points, my heart swells with pride.
When I just have been transmigrated and facing Kim Soo-yong, I only had 500 points.
Thinking back to that time and looking at my points now, I can’t help but laugh.
“Haha.”
“???”
My laughter was louder than I thought, and my companions looked at me.
Then, Kage looked at me with wide eyes and asked.
“Master. Why are you laughing suddenly?”
“Yeah. It’s something like that.”
At my answer, she narrowed her eyes, but there’s no way Kage would understand even if I explained it to her.
I avoided her gaze and approached Ange.
“Saint, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Oh, yes. I’m fine.”
Yeah. That’s what it looks like.
Unlike Elsa, who was completely purified and laying on the blood-stained ground, Ange looked like she had gone on a date with her lover, not a drop of blood on her clothes.
Additionally, her expression looked completely refreshed.
She must have had a lot of stress.
Well, it’s actually strange for her not to be stressed.
Until just a while ago, it was just the two of us going to the orphanage, and her father, whom she had been waiting for all this time, tried to use her.
Moreover, the cult members tried to kidnap me and harm the people at the orphanage.
So, it’s not just that Ange’s mental state is not good, but anyone in their right mind would be annoyed.
She managed to endure it well.
“Then let’s leave here. What about the captured people…”
“I’ll inform the church and call people to take care of them.”
“Yes.”
With those words, we headed towards the orphanage.
.

How much did that Constellation bastard rampage?
Just a while ago, this place was like a deserted island on Earth, full of trees.
Now, it has become a flat land.
Not only the ground isn’t intact, but some areas have exposed bedrock, while others have craters.
Additionally, the ground is stained with blood.
For a moment, Kaine, Lien, and I, excluding Ange, were dumbfounded by the situation.
“Young Master. Are you hurt anywhere?”
Lise approached me with a worried look and asked in a soft voice.
I nodded at her question.
“Yes. With the Saint here, there’s no way I could get hurt.”
“Yes.”
“By the way, where is Miss Origin?”
“She… disappeared right in front of my eyes at some point.”
Ah. It seems like his time is up.
Well, it’s understandable that she disappeared so quickly.
Looking at the aftermath of her rampage, she must have used a lot of power.
Even just descending and staying still has a limit of 6 hours, so it’s natural for the time limit to decrease when she uses her power recklessly.
For a moment, I wondered where she was.
As I looked around to find her, the thought of Ange’s father crossed my mind.
“Young Master. If you’re looking for the person, he’s tied up and unconscious inside the orphanage.”
“Oh. In that case…”
I naturally turned to Ange and Lien.
The two of them nodded without saying a word and entered the orphanage with me.
.
.
.
Inside the orphanage, Henry was lying unconscious with his eyes wide open.
Kaine looked at him and then turned to the two women.
Lien looked at Henry indifferently, while Ange closed her eyes.
It was clear that she was thinking about something.
“……”
“……”
Silence filled the room.
Kaine slowly opened his mouth.
“You two decide what to do with this person.”
As Kaine spoke, Lien was about to answer, but Ange spoke first.
“I’ll kill him.”
Ange took the lead.
Lien was startled by her answer and said,
“Ange, I’ll do it. There’s no need for you to dirty your hands. I haven’t done anything for you so far, so I should at least take on this burden…”
“Mom…”
Ange lowered her head and her eyes turned red.
Lien carefully hugged her and patted her back.
“I’m sorry for everything. Can you go outside with your boyfriend for a moment?”
“Yes. I understand.”
When did I become her boyfriend?
Her words were so natural that I almost believed it.
I wanted to immediately object to her statement, but I couldn’t.
It’s not the right time to object.
‘Sigh. I’ll just bear with it. Yes. Yes.’
I mentally consoled myself and took Ange outside the orphanage.
Soon after, Lien came out of the orphanage with bloodstains on her face.
“It’s all done.”
“Lise, please take care of the bodies.”
The two of them nodded and entered the orphanage.
‘Now, what should I do with this person? How should I handle her?’
To be honest, the most ambiguous one is Lien.
Henry is Ange’s father, but honestly, given his actions, I can’t forgive him even if I wanted to.
In reality, considering his past actions and his attempt to use Ange, forgiving him would be foolish.
However, Lien is different from Henry.
The fact that Elsa suspected her clearly shows that she was planning to betray them.
Moreover, from what I’ve heard, she risked her life to save the clone during this incident.
Of course, she thought I was the clone, but either way, she’s a good person.
But…
‘… It’s not easy to let her go.’
She has committed too many sins.
It’s true that she was prepared to betray the cult and had no choice but to follow orders, but that doesn’t erase the sins Lien has committed.
In reality, if we exclude this incident, there might not be much difference between Lien and Henry.
Of course, this is just a guess.
She might have secretly saved people.
Kaine crossed his arms and thought deeply.
Soon after, he opened his mouth.
.
.
.
Four days have passed since the Ange incident.
A lot has happened in those four days.
First of all, the biggest event is that the news of a cult executive’s death has spread.
Well, it was bound to spread.
Ange cast the highest level divine barrier to prevent damage to the surroundings, but the commotion in the capital couldn’t be contained.
There was no way to stop it.
Although there was no damage to the surroundings, the noise couldn’t be contained.
Moreover, the church’s paladins came to rescue the hostages in Elsa’s hideout.
Of course, the only thing that spread was the news of a cult executive’s death.
There was no clear information about who resolved the situation.
However, people will know.
They will know that the Saint resolved it.
‘Of course, it’s obvious that people will think the paladin from the Church of the Goddess of Fate resolved it.’
Other than Ange, no one else comes to mind.
By the way, what would have happened if I hadn’t intervened?
When I think about it, what’s happening now is not in the original game.
Originally, at this time, the capital festival would have ended, and the game would have skipped this part.
In other words, the players would have no idea what’s going on.
After all, Elsa only appears in the game’s settings and not in the game itself.
… Ange would have killed her, right?
That’s probably what happened.
There’s no other reason for her not to appear in the game episode other than that.
She’s not just any executive, but a cult executive.
If she hadn’t died and was still alive, she would have definitely appeared in the game.
… But what if they had succeeded in taking hostages?
Suddenly, I thought of Ange stalking Kim Soo-yong.
At the time, I thought she was jealous and was following him, but what if Elsa had ordered her to do it?
… No, it doesn’t make sense.
When I played the game, Ange’s expression clearly showed her obsession with the Constellation.
Yes. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she was a yandere character from a manga.
If she had such an expression and killed Kim Soo-yong for a different reason?
It would be a plot hole.
And even if that’s not the case, she tried to kill me when we first met.
In other words, what I’m thinking right now is just a delusion.
And even if it’s not, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, reality has changed.
The truth is known only to the creator, but what’s important is the present.
Whether it’s a fact or a delusion, it’s none of my business.
Thinking this, I sighed deeply.
“Young Master. Is something bothering you?”
Lien, dressed as a maid, asked me.
I shook my head at her question.
“No, I was just thinking about something else for a moment.”
“I see. By the way, I want to say this again. I’m truly grateful that you accepted me.”
“No, it’s nothing.”
It’s more convenient for me to use Ange, so that’s why I’m doing this.
For a moment, I recalled what happened four days ago.
.
.
.
“Ms. Lien, would you consider becoming a maid in the David family, specifically my maid?”
“…. What?”
At my question, she was startled and stared at me blankly.
Ange also looked at me.
“To be honest, you’re not in a position to find work anywhere right now, are you?”
“That… yes.”
At my question, Lien nodded with a sullen face.
Probably. She knows it too.
Even if she survives here, the cult members will try to find her and kill her if they discover any traces.
Of course, I’ve erased all traces, but you never know.
And that’s not the only reason.
She has no identity to work anywhere.
For about 10 years, she has lived in the shadows as an assassin.
It’s almost impossible for her to find a legitimate job without an identity.
So, it’s better for her to work for me.
Of course, I’m not doing this out of kindness, but to use Ange.
The two of them will think that I’m saving them.
As expected, the two of them are extremely touched by my offer.
“Of course, you can take your time to think about it.”
I can’t force them right away.
That’s what a low-level person would do.
Usually, you have to show consideration to make it look convincing.
As I said this, Lien bowed at a right angle and responded to my offer.
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Kaine. I accept your offer.”
“Thank you, Kaine.”
Ange hugged me with a genuinely touched expression.
.
.
.
As I recalled the cringy past, Lien interrupted my thoughts.
“Young Master. By the way, when will you have the marriage ceremony with my daughter?”
“No. As I’ve said before, the Saint and I are not in that kind of relationship.”
“…. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”
No. Why are you pretending not to hear it when you clearly heard it?
I’ve been feeling this since I employed her, but she’s very good at her job, except when it comes to Ange.
I sighed deeply to myself.
Well, anyway, tomorrow is finally the last day of school.
