However, the afternoon had not yet ended.
“The wind today is truly boisterous.”
“But this wind… it blew you, Princess Lilith, to my side.”
On a gentle, grass-covered slope within the monastery, the head of the Literature Club leaned on the white-haired girl’s shoulder.
Watching from afar, with a strong sense of déjà vu, Selunia’s eyes were filled with mixed emotions as she saw Selunia, holding two green branches, squatting on a tree trunk.
Haha! Looks familiar?
Scenes like this are playing out right now all over the Saintess Monastery!
The next person targeted by the Vampire Princess might be you!
Unless the Hero makes the most important decision of their life…
To prove to everyone that the Hero has the strength and courage to remove the green from their head.
Got mixed up…
Anyway, Selunia felt… that her impression of the excellent girls in the academy had already shattered.
Why are they all so impatient?
Are they all that easy to get?
Haha… so the academy is full of lesbians after all…
Watching Lilith’s actions, Selunia suddenly felt that she wasn’t incapable of doing the same…’
So, as Lilith was once again changing her destination, Selunia said to a student by the side of the road:
“You… are really… pretty.”
“Huh? Th-thank you… Can I help you with something?”
Then, what was she supposed to say? Selunia froze.
Anyway, Selunia was treated like a weirdo and fled in embarrassment under the girl’s strange gaze.
She must be crazy! Is there something wrong with her mind?
Selunia, so mortified she could curl her toes, really wanted to slap herself.
Recently, the humiliating dark history, enough to be remembered for a lifetime, was just piling up.
It’s all Lilith’s fault!
Lilith felt the little tail following her growing more and more resentful.
But this didn’t stop Lilith from continuing to search for her next target.
If you’ve got the guts, jump out and stop me!
How does that saying go?
Time is like breasts…
Pfft! A sponge!
No matter how flat, if you squeeze it, there’ll still be a little.
An excellent time management master can better allocate their time and accomplish more highly efficient things.
Anyway, Selunia certainly had her eyes opened.
She really hadn’t expected Lilith… to be able to do so much during the short lunch break, in less than three hours.
She’d lost count of how many students Lilith had approached.
After she couldn’t count them on two hands anymore, Selunia just went numb…
Even secretly following Lilith, constantly on edge, had started to deplete her stamina.
That vampire’s stamina is truly monstrous… No wonder she dares to string along so many people at once.
Wouldn’t normal people just be killed by her?
No! What weird things am I thinking about now!
Hidden in the shadows, Selunia shook her head, blushing, then kept her eyes on Lilith outside.
Not to mention the previous few…
After that, Lilith went to the art studio and made an arrangement with the head of the art club: if she had free time later, she’d go to the club head’s dorm to be a private model for her.
A model? Isn’t that code for the kind who strips while being drawn?
Lilith even took a detour to the sports field…
She offered water to a sporty girl with healthy, tanned skin and said a bunch of things that made the sweat-drenched girl, who had just finished exercising, blush furiously.
Selunia kept feeling like Lilith’s eyes were fixed on the bits of skin peeking through the white sportswear, soaked with sweat.
After that… she then ran to the student-formed choir and showed off her skills, charming them…
…quite a few young girls who wanted to form a band with Lilith for life.
Finally, she even made an arrangement with the choir’s lead singer to practice vocalizations together at the lakeside pavilion tomorrow morning.
That pavilion again!
Is this never going to end?!
And teachers too! She didn’t even spare the slightly younger, single teachers!
She said she’d be teaching classes soon and hoped to interact more with the teachers, even directly stating she wanted to spend the night in one teacher’s dorm to “exchange ideas” and “discuss academics.”
Discuss! As for what they’d discuss… well, they’d be in the same room, so it would all be up to Lilith, wouldn’t it?
These people had absolutely no guard up against Lilith.
Basically, as long as Lilith spoke, almost no one would refuse this nominal “Saintess sister.”
Selunia wanted to stop Lilith’s bizarre adventures on campus many times, but she never found the right moment to step out…
Because she didn’t know what excuse to use to stop Lilith…
After all, at least on the surface, Lilith truly seemed to just be simply fostering relationships with the academy’s teachers and students.
But her true purpose for fostering these relationships…
Selunia really couldn’t say for sure…
It was like the bullshit promises of a scumbag saying, “I’ll never cheat again,” or the joke of a wolf promising not to eat sheep.
If Lilith had no other intentions, Selunia would eat the branch and leaves she held right then and there!
But she couldn’t just jump out and forbid Lilith from continuing to interact with other girls. If she did, wouldn’t she look like some overly controlling, annoying girlfriend?
Yet, hadn’t she already decided to stick by Lilith’s side, watching her and messing with her?
Selunia wrestled with this dilemma all afternoon.
The result was that Lilith… had practically toured the entire campus.
And the people she chose to interact with… were all well-known, influential figures within the academy.
Could it be that… she intended to slowly conquer these teachers and students, making them devoted to her, and then indirectly gain complete control over the academy’s discourse…?
She’s simply a cunning schemer plotting to usurp power!
If that were the case, could this place still be called a monastery protected by gods and saintesses?
Hesitation leads to defeat!
The evil claws cannot be allowed to spread further!
Selunia, having conjured up a myriad of scenarios, could no longer hold back. She emerged from the shadows between the buildings, but then immediately recoiled.
This wasn’t because Selunia chickened out; it was because Lilith was currently chatting with a woman she knew very well…
Standing before Lilith now was Selunia’s senior from the Tribunal…
She felt too awkward to go up and pester Lilith right now…
“Oh! Pretty big sister, you’ve been watching me from outside since last night, have you fallen in love with me?”
Lilith finally had a moment of leisure.
Constantly switching between different types of beautiful girls, even she felt a slight twitch in her cheek.
So, to relieve the pressure, Lilith decided to catch the Tribunal nun who had been secretly observing her and give her a good grilling.
She wasn’t the type to keep stress to herself.
Naturally, the best way to transfer stress was to transfer it to someone else.
After all, her goal for the day was almost completely achieved.
Several key targets… if not already in love with her, at least had a pretty good initial impression.
All she had to do next was subtly mention her visit to Bonnie’s house to others, and it would be almost perfect.
Once she started meeting families one by one, she could clear most of the fog of war surrounding the various factions in the Upper and Lower Cities.
That way, it would be impossible not to find clues about the outside incidents.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Is it because of what happened before, you’re still wary of me? Haven’t your leaders already told you that I’m an envoy from the Central Papacy?”
“Is this how you treat an envoy sent by the Central Papacy? You could say I’m even your leader, you know~”
“You like watching me so much, how about I request from above to make you my personal attendant…or perhaps a bodyguard?”
“In that case, I’ll overlook your past actions of arresting me.”
“I’ll be very, very gentle with you~ I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Speaking of which, have we met before?”
The poor Tribunal nun felt like she was about to be violated.
She was well aware of what this vampire princess had done to the other sisters in the Tribunal in the past two weeks.
The nuns who had gone to Detention Center Zero to interrogate Lilith were almost all carried out disheveled…
This vampire possessed a lewd magic that forcibly heightened bodily sensitivity…
If you fell victim to that magic, incontinence would be a minor issue…
As for anything more, people weren’t very willing to talk about it…
After all, merely walking could cause an orgasm, which was utterly humiliating.
The interrogation methods they had intended to use on Lilith were returned to them in full measure.
Even Chief Inquisitor Mabel… had been severely humiliated and trod upon by this vampire…
Most of the nuns in the Tribunal were traumatized by this creature’s antics.
Every time someone mentioned this vampire, quite a few would start trembling…
Although they were initially at fault for mistakenly arresting an envoy from the Central Papacy, could an envoy truly do such things?
Anyway, when everyone saw the official document confirming this vampire, they felt like their world was collapsing.
Could the higher-ups in the church, who managed to explain this vulgar vampire’s behavior as an envoy checking the chastity of the monastery’s inhabitants, really be sane?
Though no one wanted to accept it… this person, this truly was an envoy with formal dispatch papers from the Central Papacy.
So, was no one going to address her professional misconduct?
“I… I’m just following orders. If Your Excellency the Envoy is dissatisfied with our actions… I will report it to Chief Inquisitor Mabel, and she will discuss it with you…”
The nun dared not move, just feeling the sensation of the girl’s slender fingers sliding across her lower abdomen. More importantly, she saw the magical glow gradually flickering at Lilith’s fingertips.
“Please… please, don’t use that magic on me.”
If she lost control in the academy… and made a mess everywhere… her career as a Tribunal nun would probably be completely over.
She also imagined that if she were really assigned to be this vampire’s personal bodyguard… she would surely be toyed with every day.
This Tribunal nun, who was originally resolute and wouldn’t back down even when facing terrifying anomalies, now felt like she was on the verge of tears.
“Hehehe! Then lift your skirt!”
At this moment, Lilith’s expression had completely transformed into one belonging to an evil villain.
Seeing the nun’s eyes tear up as she shamefully lifted her skirt, revealing her round, strong, long legs, Lilith immediately squeezed them.
Hmm… worthy of a battle nun from the Tribunal. These well-trained thighs are truly powerful! So powerful!
So Lilith took out an oil-based pen and wrote a tally mark on the inner thigh of the fair-skinned nun.
“That’s enough punishment for today. Next time, no more secretly following me~”
“At least you’re proper clergy from the Tribunal, don’t be so sneaky about things. If you need me for something, just have Mabel come and confront me directly~”
“Oh, no, just come find me~”
“I really hate it when people secretly watch me for no reason.”
“There won’t be such a simple punishment next time!”
The nun, intimidated by Lilith, ran off wiping her tears, clearly having suffered severe psychological trauma.
Lilith felt incredibly satisfied! All the pressure in her heart had been completely transferred to someone else!
So, what to do next? Oh, it seems class is about to start!
“Come out. You’ve been following me for so long, what exactly do you want? Or do you hope I personally pull you out of the shadows myself?”
Selunia silently emerged from the shadows, her expression complex as she looked at Lilith, whose face had now reverted to her gentle, saintly sister demeanor.
She hadn’t dared to step out again. She hadn’t clearly heard what Lilith said to the Tribunal senior that made that strong-willed sister… willing to lift her skirt and be toyed with by Lilith in such a shameful manner.
Was it voluntary… or was she threatened?
But the senior definitely wouldn’t want others to see her in such a humiliating state.
So, whether it was voluntary or under threat, Selunia didn’t go out and stop Lilith’s actions. She had dithered for quite a while, only to end up accomplishing nothing again.
She truly was useless.
After a morning of observation, Selunia felt that this vampire princess… truly had a thousand faces.
At times gentle and considerate, at other times domineering and crude, it seemed she could effortlessly embody everyone’s most beloved image at any moment.
Selunia initially attributed it to Lilith’s excellent acting skills, her ability to easily discern human nature and thus deceive others’ emotions.
But… could acting really allow for simultaneously switching between so many completely different personalities? This felt more like symptoms of schizophrenia.
It was as if each different personality of Lilith had indeed experienced different human lives.
So it’s possible that all those “Liliths”… are actually Lilith’s true selves… She can no longer distinguish what kind of person Lilith truly is. How long has Lilith lived? Does she perhaps switch personalities every so often? It’s truly confusing.
“What exactly are you trying to do by doing all this?”
“I’m not telling you.”
Little kids should act like little kids and focus on school.
Lilith had no intention of explaining her plans to Selunia.
She even felt that children from the Three Great Families… shouldn’t be out on dangerous missions with the Tribunal.
Adults have adult responsibilities.
Children have children’s responsibilities.
She truly looked down on the Tribunal’s actions of pulling these young children into dangerous missions.
If they hadn’t encountered her that day, but some other dangerous, difficult-to-deal-with anomaly, then these half-aberrant children would probably be buried in the ground by now.
Seraphiel was likely worried about this too, which is why she told her to keep a close eye on these young girls.
However, to be fair… for those struggling in this era, it’s not an immoral act, because everyone else, old and young… from birth, they’re prepared to pay with their lives at any moment under the threat of dangerous oddities.
But Lilith just couldn’t stand it.
So her attitude toward the Tribunal nuns was never very good.
Selunia no longer cared what Lilith was planning.
Having made up her mind, she suddenly rushed forward and firmly grabbed Lilith’s wrist.
After dithering for so long, she finally decided to implement her original plan.
Lilith looked at the girl clinging to her side, a bewildered expression on her face. “What are you doing? So proactive today?”
“No! Proactive… what! Anyway, no matter where you go from now on, I’ll stick to you like this! To prevent other girls from being deceived by you, you perverted vampire!”
Lilith let out a wry chuckle, thinking how strange this girl’s thought process was.
“Oh, I get it. You’re jealous of me flirting with other girls. Don’t worry, today ends here. I’ll give all my time to you, my clingy little girl, alright?”
“What jealous! What clingy! I… I decided to stick to you so that no more people get deceived by you! This is self-sacrifice! Hmph! Let’s see how you’ll deceive others now! I bet every time I’m clinging to you, those girls will get scared away!”
“You’re really something…” Lilith was impressed; she truly hadn’t expected Selunia to come up with such a tactic. She had a feeling Veil had done something similar before, thinking that if she just clung to her, other girls wouldn’t be able to get close. Truly a child raised by Veil, their ideas were surprisingly consistent in some ways.
“Yes, yes, so are you sure you want to stick to me now? Class is about to start; if we get caught or our classmates see us, it wouldn’t be good.”
“Right, right.”
Selunia thought about it and realized there was indeed no need right now.
Class was almost starting; where else could she go to flirt with little girls? What was the point of holding onto her then? Thinking about it closely, it was still a bit embarrassing, especially since Lilith’s arm seemed to deliberately brush against her chest.
So Selunia let go of Lilith’s hands.
Then Lilith ran off.
“Hahahaha, foolish child! You can’t catch me this time!”
“…You bastard!!”
Selunia, having been played again, was momentarily stunned, then her face flushed crimson with anger. She took off running in the direction Lilith had fled.
The statues of the gods, set up around the academy, watched the interesting farces unfolding on campus as always.
Then, the gods’ gaze shifted thousands of miles away, towards their chosen one.
Seraphiel moved through the lush, green forest.
A brilliant emerald glow constantly encircled her head, making her feel somewhat uneasy.
It was remarkable that such a vast and flourishing forest could exist in this barren land at the edge of the world, where even the sun, moon, and stars were distorted.
She had no idea how the Elven race managed it…
“Saint Isis, please come this way.”
Seraphiel looked at the Elven priestess before her, dressed in elaborate, luxurious ceremonial robes, her face veiled by light gauze.
Today, she was going to have an audience with… the legendary figure who, with the strength of her entire race, had sealed the Ideal Kingdom at the border for eight hundred years.
The one and only hero still existing, who once stood with the “Eternal” at the dawn of that glorious age: “All Things in Creation.”
