Faced with You's highly pointed words, the System Girl's rebuttal was completely choked up. She blinked on Lius's shoulder in a daze, while Lia, who was next to Lius, tilted her head in confusion and tugged at Lius's arm.
"Brother...is Miss You running a fever again? She's suddenly talking nonsense in your direction. Should Lia go and get some more ice packs?"
"Um... it's not really necessary for now. As for You, let's observe her for a while longer. Lia, you go and rest. I can handle things here..."
"If that's how it is, then I'll take my leave now. Brother, you should get some rest too."
Lius was still in shock, so he simply comforted Lia and sent the puzzled white-haired girl away.
Meanwhile, upon hearing Lius's voice, You suddenly snapped out of her reverie. With a passionate gaze, she looked at the blond boy beside her, and with trembling hands, she firmly grasped his wrists with respect and earnestness.
"Your Highness... I see. Mr. Lius, you are the Holy Son blessed by the Goddess!"
"Hmm? The Holy Son?"
"Yes! You are the Holy Son! Legend has it that when the Holy Church is in danger, the Goddess will descend with the Holy Son to save the believers... No wonder you came here to save me, thank goodness... I am truly honored to meet you, Holy Son, it is truly wonderful..."
"Forehead……"
Upon seeing the red-haired girl who was so overjoyed that she was almost hysterical, Lius blinked in a daze. After regaining his senses, he gave Yu a helpless look and poked the little face of the system girl... or rather, the goddess girl on his shoulder with his finger.
"Well, Miss System, your followers really know how to cause me trouble. They've even taken the initiative to acknowledge you. Should I start calling you 'Goddess' now?"
"Ha... I never expected my identity to be exposed in this way. I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me, host..."
Faced with Lius's teasing words, Miss System also recognized the reality and shook her head self-deprecatingly.
"Actually, I've known about it for a long time..."
Looking at the goddess, Lius still cast a helpless glance his way. The three of them stood facing each other in the room, an awkward atmosphere hanging in the air...
Chapter Sixty-One: Their First Time Together as the Holy Son
A few minutes later, after comforting You on the bed, Lius wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the red-haired girl in front of him again, and handed her a bottle of potion that glowed with pink light.
"Here, drink this, it should help you recover your strength faster."
"Is this... a blessing from the Holy Son?"
Holding the warm, pink potion in her hand, You blinked, and then her eyes gradually filled with tears.
"Such a precious potion, bestowed upon me personally by the Holy Son... Waaah... Is it really possible? Someone like me... Someone as useless and incompetent as me, do I really deserve to be a follower of the Goddess, and do I really deserve such care from the Holy Son...?"
"Oh, there's no such thing as being worthy or not. Even if someone else was injured, I would have helped them in the same way. Don't make such a big deal out of everything..."
Leus cast a helpless glance at Yu, and without further hesitation, opened the medicine bottle in Yu's hand and forcibly poured the medicine into the girl's mouth.
"Um... Your Highness, what is this...?"
Feeling the liquid suddenly rush into her mouth, she blinked in surprise, while Leus patted her shoulder.
"Don't move around, Miss You. This is the system... I mean, the goddess specially prepared a healing potion for you. After drinking it, your illness will recover quickly."
"Waaah... It's actually a potion bestowed by the goddess! I'm so honored, I feel like crying..."
"I told you there's no need to go to such extremes... Just relax a bit, and also stop squeezing your legs around my waist all the time, it's practically breaking them..."
At this moment, You practically collapsed in front of Lius, her upper body pressed against Lius's chest, her hands clasped in prayer, her head raised as she looked up at him with the same unwavering devotion as if she were looking at her own god, her eyes revealing a look of awe.
Looking further down at the girl's lower body, you can see two bare, beautiful legs.
Through the messy nun's habit, two beautiful legs peeked out from the gaps, tightly wrapped around Lius's waist, their long, flowing curves rubbing against Lius's body as if serving him. Every movement carried a passionate allure, as if unwilling to leave for even a moment.
"what……"
Seemingly noticing her lapse in composure, You blushed slightly and shyly looked away.
"I'm sorry... Well, Your Holiness, I did something like this in a moment of impulse... I was probably too excited to see you and the God, please forgive me..."
She kept apologizing, but Yu's legs remained firmly planted. Instead, she pressed her face even closer to Lius's chest, her delicate little nose twitching slightly.
"Holy Son, you have the scent of the Church on you, and the magic within you feels so familiar... It feels so comfortable to be close to you..."
Even with her eyes slightly unfocused, You maintained perfect manners, showing the utmost respect to the young man before her, not daring to relax her guard in the slightest.
Honestly, maintaining this position with a girl is quite comfortable.
Lius didn't dislike it; in fact, he quite enjoyed listening to Yu's melodious and graceful humming, which sounded like a lark's song.
"Ah... Holy Son... This feels so good, can I stay like this forever..." Yu asked expectantly.
"You're only allowed to do this for a little while. After you finish your medicine, you need to get off me right away, okay?"
"Thank you... Your Holiness is so generous to grant my impudent request. Indeed, Your Holiness is the savior of the Church. It is truly wonderful to have met Your Holiness..."
Accompanied by hazy words, You clung to Lius while he lifted her chin, allowing her to drink the potion from his mouth.
"Um... ah..."
Because Lius was feeding the girl medicine, her speech gradually became slurred.
The translucent, long-mouthed medicine bottle slid down You's rosy lips, filling the girl's entire mouth. The pink medicine surged between her lips and teeth, and every now and then, her tender pink tongue could be seen tumbling back and forth at the bottle's opening.
Even without actually experiencing it, just by looking at the tip of her tongue constantly moving and licking at the bottle opening, Lius could feel the flexibility and moisture on the girl's tongue.
Such a beautiful tongue, if one could actually taste it, would surely be an exquisite experience...
"Gu..."
Forcibly suppressing the desire that was gradually rising within him, Leus shook his head vigorously, trying to avert his gaze from You's beautiful tongue and feet. After she had finished drinking the potion, he pushed You back onto the bed and said as seriously as possible:
"Alright, you've taken your medicine enough, Miss You, you should continue to rest. As for the investigation, we'll continue tonight."
“We’ll act tonight… But the situation outside hasn’t been resolved yet. Those who slander the Holy Church are still hiding in the shadows. If we don’t act quickly, they might do something even more cruel, and more people will be harmed.”
Coming to her senses, she clenched her small fists, took a deep breath, and gave Lius a serious look:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but please don't worry about me. I have almost recovered. I cannot let those murderers go unpunished. Please let me accompany you. I am willing to contribute all my strength to tell you everything I have found out."
"This……"
Feeling the sincerity in Yu's words, Lius hesitated for a moment.
Logically, action should indeed be taken immediately, but considering the worrying situation, Lius hesitated.
If she is worried, there might be some unexpected changes when the operation takes place, especially since she is currently wanted by the church, which is very detrimental to future investigations.
"Hey... Miss System, shouldn't you say something at this point? Don't just stand by and watch. What, are you planning to leave everything to me?"
In a slightly awkward situation, Lius glanced at the System Girl on his shoulder. The System Girl suddenly snapped out of her daze, coughed a few times as if to be serious, and then her dazed expression gradually changed. In front of You, she adopted a solemn and dignified posture, and her body was bathed in golden light.
"Goddess... Goddess!"
Upon seeing the System Girl suddenly emitting bursts of divine light, You also widened her eyes and immediately prostrated herself in front of her, worshipping her.
"No need for formalities, just continue sitting upright. I simply want to talk to you, there's no need to be so tense."
With a gentle wave of her finger, You, who was about to kneel, stopped in her tracks and lay back down on the bed in a burst of golden light.
Having done all this, the System gently landed on Leus's shoulder, stopping steadily in front of You. It nodded to the girl and then spoke slowly in an ethereal yet solemn tone:
“Your name is ‘Sorrow’, is that right?”
"Ah...yes, Goddess..."
Sitting firmly back on the bed, You blinked in astonishment at the goddess's power. Then, regaining her composure, she swallowed hard and, sitting upright, nodded slightly.
"The name 'You' represents worry and concern. It was given to me by the Pope herself, who hoped that I would always have a worried attitude about the future of the church, so that I could continuously promote the development and progress of the church and let the teachings of the goddess be spread forever."
"Hmm, the fact that such faith can be maintained shows that even thousands of years later, my teachings have not been lost. Very good, I am very satisfied."
The system smiled and nodded, then pointed in You's direction, indicating that she should lie down.
"Now, my child, lie down and rest well. If you wish to continue serving me, you need to maintain sufficient energy so that you can bring your faith to its fullest potential."
"My Goddess...but..."
"There's no need for such pointless worries. In your current state, do you really think you can participate in the investigation or the battle? There's a saying in the East: haste makes waste. Wait until you've recovered from your injuries before you can do things much more efficiently. Besides..."
Miss System grabbed Lius's arm and pulled him closer to You, a trusting smile spreading across her face.
"Moreover, there is a warrior here who is even stronger than you, Lius Frenn, the holy son blessed by this god. With him here, all the hardships on the journey will be reduced. If you want your inner desires to be fulfilled, then trust Lius, stay by his side, and serve him as you would serve me, do you understand?"
Hearing the system's words, You's eyes flashed with excitement, and she nodded vigorously. Following her instructions, she grasped Lius's hands and said to him solemnly and sincerely:
“I understand… Your Majesty, from now on, I will serve you well. If you don’t mind, I am willing to become your loyal servant. Please allow me to follow you, is that alright?”
"Ha... The atmosphere has reached this point, wouldn't it be too heartless of me to refuse?"
Feeling the gazes of the two girls, Lius smiled helplessly, clasped hands with You, and thus gained a loyal follower who would stay by his side.
After that, Yu stopped insisting on following Lius to investigate and instead obediently lay down on the bed to rest while preparing to tell the two what she had learned...
------
"So, You mentioned before that you have some knowledge about the recent magical anomalies, can you tell us about it?"
Sitting next to You, Lius looked intently at the red-haired girl beside him and asked her this question.
"Yes, Your Holiness, the Holy Church has also paid attention to this matter and conducted relevant investigations. Now, please allow me to inform you directly of the conclusions of my investigation..."
After a slight pause, You took a deep breath and, under a serious gaze, slowly stated her conclusion:
"I believe the culprit behind the recent abnormal magical abilities of people is the false believers in those monasteries, or to put it more precisely... that false believer bishop named Helen!"
"Hmm? Bishop Helen?"
Hearing the girl's words, Leus blinked in surprise, his mind becoming more serious about what Yu was about to say...
Chapter Sixty-Two: The Mischievous Young Lady
"You mean... it was Bishop Helen who caused all of this?"
"Yes, absolutely."
You nodded vigorously, and under Lius's questioning gaze, she recounted her story while recalling the events:
"At that time, the spread of the magic disease damaged the reputation of the Holy Church, so I was ordered by the Church to go to the vicinity to investigate. When I passed through a village, I saw a group of false believers enter the village and do something inside. When they came out, a large-scale magic disease broke out in the village. It was obviously the work of these false believers."
"Are you so sure?" Lius asked again.
"Of course, I can guarantee that they do have the marks of a false religion on them. I even secretly followed them and got a cross from a false religion."
He took the church cross from his bosom and carefully placed it in Lius's arms, then pointed to the window next to him.
"If I remember correctly... that village is in the west, relatively close to the Soliu Mountains, and there are two forking rivers nearby, so it should be easy to find. If Your Majesty wishes to go and find it, there is a map here. Please take a look."
"Okay, I understand..."
Taking the map from the girl, Leus examined it for a moment, nodded slightly, and then continued to ask:
“Alright, I will investigate these matters thoroughly later. But even if you are certain that those people are church members, how do you know that Bishop Helen was involved? Did you witness this with your own eyes?”
"This... I didn't, but during the investigation of these false cultists, I accidentally fought with one of their leaders. It was at night, and she was wearing a long robe, so I couldn't see her face clearly, but the magic she possessed still lingered on me, which I have kept safe ever since."
At this point, You paused slightly before continuing:
“I followed these cultists all the way into the town, through a forest outside the town, and arrived at the monastery where you had rescued me. There, my whereabouts were discovered, a fierce battle ensued with the false cult, and I was eventually captured, and then…”
You stretched out her hand, gathered a wisp of energy radiating a pale blue light, exhaled, and displayed it to Lius.
"Then, I discovered that the magic power in Bishop Helen was exactly the same as the power that had remained in me. So I deduced that the leader who spread the magic disease in the village was Bishop Helen, the one who arrested me earlier."
"Um……"
Gazing thoughtfully at the two identical magical powers in Yu's hands, Leus nodded, then reached out and gathered the two magical powers into his body. He didn't comment on Yu's words, but simply waved his hand, signaling Yu to continue lying down.
"So, this is all the information you've obtained, You?"
"As for myself... that's all I have for now. However, the Order should have more information. If Your Excellency needs it, I can take you to the headquarters right now. The others will also be very happy to see Your Excellency!"
The girl spoke with great interest, and Lius nodded slightly.
"That's fine, but we'll have to wait until you're fully recovered. Also... do you remember the scene where you fought that masked nun? What was her figure like? Was she the same as Helen?"
"Well...she was wrapped up very tightly at the time, and her chest seemed to be quite prominent...as for height, I haven't compared them to others, but they seem to be about the same..."
"A prominent bust means a full figure. Bishop Helen's bust... she can only be considered a voluptuous woman, not quite a full-figured one..."
While pondering and muttering to himself, Lius nodded slightly, then cast a trusting look at You and patted her little head.
