You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"It's all your fault! Go to hell, you idiot!"

Stella blushed instantly, cupped her burning face, and fled into the classroom as if in a panic.

"I'll burn you down one day, so watch out!"

Yuri: What's going on? Is the succubus effect of "Crimson Favor" really that strong?

096 "The Church of God Yu" and School Bullying

Yuri is auditing an astrology class today.

Astrology and alchemy, unlike magic, are faith-based techniques that have existed since ancient times, so St. Cromwell also taught these two courses.

He usually takes astrology classes with Amelio, Ruby, and three other members of the Lily Cross.

Upon entering the classroom, there were already more than thirty students sitting in their seats, with the front row packed with people.

This standalone classroom was designed like a small auditorium, with a high ceiling that allows warm spring sunlight to stream in through the windows.

Shortly after Yuri sat down in the back row, almost at the same time the teacher entered the classroom, the girl with brown twin tails appeared on time.

"Oh dear, did I miss Yuri's magic show?"

"The ruby ​​with the lily cross," Miss Ruby said with a regretful look. "I should have gotten up and left earlier today!"

"Lord Yuri isn't putting on a show," Amelod corrected his friend with a serious expression.

"And please arrive at school on time next time, instead of always arriving at the classroom right on time."

If Ruby breaks the school rules, even Lord Yuri's reputation will be damaged.

"Yes, yes, I know~"

Ruby poked the boy's back: "Yuri~"

As she observed the teacher diligently writing on the podium, she whispered in a coquettish tone, "Could you perform the magic again after class?"

“No,” Miss Emerald replied coldly.

Ruby pouted: "They were asking Yuri, not you. Are you Yuri's mother?"

"...!"

Stella, sitting in a corner by the window, suddenly felt a jolt and looked warily at Yuri's group: Was someone talking about me just now?

"Ruby, you...!"

Ignoring the blushing Emelod, the girl with pigtails turned to the boy with a fawning smile.

Just as Yuri was about to agree, a white bullet that traveled faster than the speed of sound flew past Yuri's eyes.

Exceeding the speed of sound and tearing through the atmosphere, the pale meteor trailed with astonishing killing intent.

"what--!!"

Ruby clutched her forehead, screamed, and fell backward.

"Ruby! Don't whisper during class!"

The astrology teacher, holding half a piece of chalk, said angrily.

Yuri quickly straightened his posture.

[Completed the "Astrology" course.]

[Gained a small amount of skill experience.]

[Current Astrology Level: Lv.1.]

……

……

……

After finishing his morning classes, Yuri went to the seminary's cafeteria.

Although he thoroughly enjoyed being surrounded by young ladies in his harem, he decided against it during lunchtime.

He was accompanied only by Ruby and Emerald, with Stella following behind him, keeping a respectful distance.

The three of them bought the same set meal: avocado salad and mushroom soup, with cheese meatball baked rice as the main dish.

Oh, and besides buying the same set meal for Stella, Yuri also kindly bought her a serving of soy milk.

This is a rare bonus dish in the game, and it has finally been added to the cafeteria menu recently.

"Lord Yuri, is there no problem with living expenses? You are now responsible for the expenses of two people."

Amelod asked with a worried expression.

The boy shook his head, indicating that there was no need to worry.

Safia isn't the only one charging a "friendship fee" within the Lily Cross Order! Yuri does it too!

He would also often receive some subsidies from the young ladies... their mothers.

Even before he had awakened his memories of his past life, Yuri had already maintained extremely good social relationships with the noblewomen of the Papacy.

During numerous tea parties with wealthy women, Yuri was forced to become familiar with the logos of almost all the high-end dessert shops on the mainland.

Perhaps Euryphus Falción was born with this extraordinary quality (inherent skill: bewitching charm), his handsome appearance has an irresistible and deep attraction to older women who have given birth.

Even a strong and arrogant woman like Rosalia Augusta could only barely resist Yuri's demonic power... although she has recently been unable to cope with it.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the Lily Cross Knights were able to be formed successfully in the first place.

The noblewomen all longed to establish a closer and deeper relationship with Yuri, and they all recommended their daughters to become members of the Holy Son's personal guard.

In this way, they could use the excuse of "inviting the Holy Son to come to our home and sit down to talk about our daughter" to trick Yuri into... inviting her to their garden for afternoon tea.

It seems the wives of the Lily Cross Knights have secretly formed a fan club for the Prophet's Child.

"It's said that Mom's 'Church of the God of You' is a terrifying and mysterious organization comparable to the 'Final Descent Ritual'!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Ruby! I'm going to tell your aunt!"

Lunch ended with Ruby's lame jokes and Amelio's scolding.

"The Church of the God of Love"...

Yuri had never heard of this organization in "Goddess of the End," but the content presented in the game cannot compare to the real world.

Maybe there really is a "Church of the God of You"? Maybe I should ask about it next time I meet with your mothers.

"Over there is..."

Just as they left the table to return the metal plates, they saw a crowd gathered in a corner of the cafeteria.

Several male students in seminary uniforms are sitting around a female student at a dining table.

They were talking loudly, occasionally letting out vulgar laughter.

"They're bullying the freshmen again," Ruby said, frowning.

The person surrounded was a short, thin orc girl who looked to be only a teenager.

The students at St. Cromwell Theological Seminary include not only humans from the three major countries, but also some ethnic minorities, such as orcs with animalistic features.

They are usually the children of orc clan leaders, sent by their parents to the Holy City for education and learning, and are also considered hostages in some ways.

This frail, petite female student had very noticeable messy hair, mostly black with a few strands of white.

The drooping ears, belonging to some kind of wild animal, hang over the hair, and two small, delicate horns extend from between the strands of hair.

Behind the girl, a thin, bald tail that resembled that of a rat stretched out.

Yuri frowned: Absolutely no cuteness whatsoever. So this is what beastmen are like...

The beastmen in "Persona" are all based on animals from nature, but the girl's features are different from any animal Yuri knows. What clan is she from?

"Hehehe, let me add some spice to your lunch~"

The tall boy who seemed to be the leader of the bullies laughed loudly as he poured a milky white liquid into the orc girl's plate.

"It's your favorite milk! Consider it my treat, drink it up, you devil! Hahahaha! Ahahahaha!"

Yuri was a little touched: This is truly the world of anime.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone pour milk into another person's lunch while bullying them; the anime/manga vibe was way too overpowering.

Are you saying milk is free? If not, you can give it to me; it's such a waste.

"..."

While being bullied by the male students, the orc female student kept her head down and silently ate her lunch.

Even when milk was poured into her lunch, she just kept trembling in her shoulders and silently lowered her head.

For some reason, that short, lonely figure overlapped with Yuri's past self in her memory... even though Teacher Dafei had never been bullied.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Stella watched as Yuri walked up to her and took the pea juice that Yuri had only taken a sip from her plate.

"Wait, Lord Yuri!"

Amelod immediately realized what was happening and tried to step forward to stop him.

Ruby blocked her way and shook her head seriously.

When Yuri, holding the soy milk, walked up to them, the male students were all stunned.

The tall boy in the lead sensed Yuri's hostility, glanced at Ruby and Amelod behind him, and revealed a sly grin.

"Isn't this the legendary Child of Prophecy? He's still being heavily protected by the young ladies as always."

I didn't expect that even when you come to eat in the cafeteria, you need your parents to accompany you.

Instantly, apart from Stella who exclaimed "Huh?", everyone in the restaurant fell silent.

The tall boy's followers burst into laughter, while the bullied female student lowered her head nervously.

Yuri was silent for a moment, then pointed at Ruby and said, "She's not my dad."

“This is irrelevant!” Miss Ruby exclaimed unhappily.

"...Yes."
