You think you're worthy of saving the world?

It was a very gentle, ethereal female voice; she told me some things about the future.

"A woman's voice... Could it be the goddess?!"

Amelod gasped, covering her mouth, while Ruby and Safia nodded in agreement.

See, I didn't say anything about a goddess, you guys just made that up in your heads, okay?

Because of Yuri's status as the prophesied child, the girls naturally associate her with the goddess.

"Lord Yuri, congratulations. You've taken another step closer to becoming the Savior." Amelod clasped his hands together and prayed sincerely.

“Divine revelation… I remember a saintess from 1,300 years ago was able to hear the voice of the goddess! Although it wasn’t in a dream!” Ruby exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm, since it's a revelation from a dream, the one speaking to little Yuri must be the Goddess of the Night?" Safia analyzed.

Yuri shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, as the other party hadn't even revealed their identity to him.

"So, Lord Yuri, what did the goddess say to you? Would you mind telling me?" Miss Emerald asked curiously.

"of course."

Yuri calmly revealed the plot of the game that would happen soon.

"I'm going to be kidnapped."

010 You didn't do anything wrong ≠ I won't arrest you (3k words, please read on)

Yuri brought up a rather absurd topic, leaving the girls looking bewildered.

"How could this be...?" The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

They weren't doubting the authenticity, but rather they were suddenly at a loss.

The Holy Son has always been an honest and kind child, and no one thought he would lie.

What's more, this time he even brought up the goddess in a very serious manner.

Although the revelation the goddess gave him in his dream was a lie, the "future" she spoke of was absolutely true.

In the game's storyline, Euryphus and Cecilia are forced to separate, and they become involved in yet another incident.

One day, Yuri was kidnapped in broad daylight on her way home from the church library.

He was taken away by a female magician.

The other party is using the Holy Son as a hostage to blackmail the Vatican into returning her family. She firmly believes that her missing family members have been captured and used to participate in secret magical experiments.

For Yuri, it was a completely undeserved disaster.

The Vatican, of course, could not compromise with the criminals and sent its most elite Templar Knights. Although they eventually rescued the Holy Son, the criminals still managed to escape.

Forced to flee with the female sorceress, Yuri suffered greatly and remained depressed for a long time after returning to the Holy See.

This incident had a terrible impact, not only causing the prestige of the Papacy to plummet, but also shattering people's illusions and faith in the Holy Son.

Can a kid who can't even save himself really save the world?

For Yuri, this kidnapping was something he absolutely had to avoid, even if it didn't threaten his life.

The collapse of faith never happens overnight; it always begins with small cracks.

Of course, Yuri brought this up for an even more important reason, which involved the secret of the "witch"...

"And then, did the Goddess reveal the identity of the culprit?"

Safia broke the silence.

"Yes, the goddess must have told Yuri who the other person is!"

Ruby's eyes lit up, and Amelod stared at the boy with a serious expression: "Lord Yuri, is there anything we can do to help?"

Yuri said, "The goddess has already told me the kidnapper's identity and name in my dream."

"Oh, as expected of Yuri! Is this the goddess's favoritism?" Ruby exclaimed with admiration.

“It should be ‘Goddess’s Favor’, right?” Amelod corrected.

The boy looked around at the three people and said, "Please take the members of the Lily Cross and bring that guy to me."

Nip crime in the bud—this approach is far too mild…

Yuri wants to nip the crime in the bud before the sperm is even released!

"Leave it to us. We will not let anyone who dares to harm Yuri get away with it."

Ruby and Safia agreed without hesitation, while only Miss Emerald hesitated, or rather, her reaction was the more normal one.

Yuri smiled and said, "You must be wondering why I didn't consult the Knights Templar about something so important."

Amelod shook his head and said seriously, "No, Lord Yuri, we are your personal guard."

We, more than the Templars, should take responsibility for protecting your safety.

If possible, please be sure to entrust this task to us.

“Yes, that’s it!” Ruby also showed a determined expression.

"Leave little Yuri's matter to your sisters," Safia said, maintaining her indifferent expression and making a peace sign.

"Please, everyone."

There are reasons why Yuri doesn't seek out more outstanding adults.

Even if I told the Vatican that I would be in danger, they might not believe me; the revelation in the goddess's dream is too unbelievable.

Moreover, if that guy falls into the hands of the Templar Knights, Yuri's goal will be impossible to achieve.

Then, Yuri began to open the box.

"That person's name is Stella, and she should be registered in the Lower City's resident register."

She has shoulder-length silver hair, is about your age, has amber eyes similar to mine, and her bust size is similar to Cecilia's...

“Little Yuri, the size of your breasts doesn’t matter.” Safia patted his shoulder meaningfully.

Ruby suddenly thought: "Although they are vicious kidnappers, they haven't actually started committing any crimes yet, have they?"

Even if it's fate ordained by the goddess, uh... wouldn't there be legal issues involved in arresting someone who hasn't committed a crime yet?

"That's right, so you must operate in secrecy and remember not to reveal it to the Vatican."

Yuri said with a confident smile.

"Besides, this isn't an arrest... I just want to have a private talk with Miss Stella."

……

……

……

In a simple house in the lower part of the city.

The silver-haired, golden-eyed girl was busy preparing lunch by the stove.

Having lived in the Papacy for more than half a year, Stella gradually began to adapt to the shockingly high prices here.

Because of their faith, it is not easy for magicians to stay in the Papacy, which makes this profession very rare.

Stella, who is capable of using second-tier magic, naturally became a sought-after job.

In addition, she has mastered some life hacks on how to survive in big cities.

For example, every weekend I would go to the upscale residential street in the city center, find a house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and "kindly" help the homeowner get rid of some of their unused furniture and handicrafts.

Stella has transformed into a high-income earner and is living a very comfortable life. This week, she has even been able to eat meat for three consecutive days.

Yesterday it was smoked venison chops, today it's roasted pork patties, tomorrow...

"Tsk...what am I so happy about?"

Stella frowned unhappily: I didn't move here to enjoy life and practice lock picking.

In order to investigate her suddenly missing family members, she eventually arrived at the Vatican after many twists and turns.

Stella spent a large sum of money to bribe the household registration official and successfully became a resident of the Lower City. From then on, she lived a life of working while gathering intelligence.

Is it because her life has been too good lately? Stella realized that she had become more complacent than before.

At this rate, they'll never find their family.

Should we simply return to the austere and impoverished monastery life of the past, starting today?

The silver-haired girl glanced at the pork patties in the frying pan: "Uh... food is innocent, after all."

Ahem! Enjoying life is certainly important, but we must never forget our original aspirations!

Okay, that concludes today's review session. Let's get back to cooking.

"...thump, thump, thump."

A series of knocks on the door interrupted the girl's thoughts.

Stella wiped her hands clean and quickly went to the door and opened it.

"The rent is due at the end of the month, so stop chasing me—"

Stella was stunned when she realized that the person outside the door was not her landlady.

A dozen or so smartly dressed female knights were crowding around their doorway.

The radiant flower girls, simply by standing there, seemed out of place against the gloomy and dirty backdrop of the lower city.

……what's the situation?

Stella quickly noticed the cross badges with lilies wrapped around their chests.

She said with a mocking look, "So you're the young ladies from the seminary. What brings you here?"

Could it be that my burglary has been exposed...? This thought flashed through my mind but was quickly dismissed.

Stella left absolutely no clues when she committed the crime, and besides, it's not the young ladies' place to catch thieves.

The girl with long black hair who was at the head of the group, Aimerod, spoke first.

"Hello, we are the Lily Cross Knights."

“I know, no need to brag about it.” Stella raised an eyebrow.
