Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

"Um?"

Lorinsa was a little surprised, and casually picked up the orange and hugged it, scratching its chin.

He began to wonder why the Hearst family didn't introduce their family to Vann.

Orange felt very comfortable being scratched, stretching out its limbs, raising its tail high, and rubbing its head against Lorinsa's chin.

Lorinsa couldn't figure out why, so she excused herself with the family motto, "That's just how strange the Hearsts are; when it comes to social skills, they can sit at the same table as monkeys."

After seeing Van En sigh, Lorinsa introduced herself:

"I am a judge... um... because I am still performing traveling judgeships, like your nun, I am considered an apprentice."

Van En turned to look at Katya and noticed that the girl suddenly seemed a little awkward, her body shrank back.

But his hands were neatly placed on his lap, looking like a well-behaved kindergarten child.

He reached out and shook Katya's hand, signaling her not to be so nervous.

After feeling the warmth and comfort from Vann, Katya made a decision and, bowing her head, apologized to Rolinza:

"Your Honor... Your Honor... Lady Rolinsa... You... Greetings, I am... I am the novice nun... Katya! I haven't... done anything wrong... Please... Please don't whip... me with that whip... that's soaked in chili water!"

"Huh? What are you talking about!"

Lorinsa turned the orange over, picked it up, and stroked its belly with her hand:

"Let's try... never mind... well... the reputation's already set anyway."

After a moment's thought, she explained softly:

"We judges don't usually deal with people, and since you are a descendant of Master Mary, you have some degree of immunity."

After hearing this, Katya breathed a long sigh of relief:

"That's good. I thought I'd get whipped for secretly taking the church's toilet paper!"

What is all this about?

Lorinsa mentally scoffed, then started poking the orange's paw pads with her fingers, causing it to "claw in pain," and finally letting herself off the hook.

"I forgive your sins, but don't take toilet paper anymore."

"good!"

After dealing with Katya, Lorinsa started petting Orange's tail, which made Orange a little unhappy. It rolled over, kissed and bit its owner's hand, and jumped onto Katya's shoulder.

"tangerine!"

Katya exclaimed in surprise, then carefully began to play with it.

Lorinsa glanced at it and muttered softly:

"Bad cat!"

She raised her head, revealing the lower half of her face facing Van En:

"You...didn't you bring a nun from your family? Katya, this girl...is a bit..."

"My brain isn't working properly," Fan En said with a smile in a low voice, glancing at the girl next to him who was happily playing with oranges.

Van En's gaze swept over Rolinsa's face, and he found that the girl was very conservative. The lower half of her face was covered by a white veil, and only her small, high nose and cherry-like mouth could be vaguely seen.

When the topic turned to the nun, Vann thought for a moment and didn't hide anything. He pointed to the black box beneath Lorinsa and said sadly:

"My nun died on the road; she was right there."

Lorinsa instantly sprang up from the narrow sofa, shifted her position, and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. Please accept my condolences. Any nun would feel honored to sacrifice herself to protect her hunter."

Van En sighed, touched the blood droplet pendant around his neck, and said:

"In the blood mist, sacrifice is always inevitable."

He then changed to a lighter topic and asked Lorinsa:

"Your black cat... why is its spirit beast called Orange?"

Lorinsa: "I love oranges."

Van En leaned back slightly, instantly realizing that this trainee judge was also someone with an amazing thought process.

After getting to know each other a little better, Vann asked Rolinsa directly:

"Theatrical troupe, dragons... what are extras and such?"

The word "extra" sounds a bit awkward in the Blood Mist world, but it roughly means a combination of "insignificant minor actors".

After a moment of silence, Lorene said:

"The Grimm Troupe is a cult founded by the Grimm family after they followed the William family in betraying the Moon Goddess and the Church, and then worshipped a false god who feeds on flesh and blood."

"As you can guess from the name, the cult members of the theater troupe are good at disguise, enjoy stirring up grudges, spreading blood mist, and engaging in such treasonous acts as destroying others' faith in the moon goddess."

"The extras are members of the Grimm Troupe. They are the most numerous, and although they are not very strong, they are very dangerous. They like to play tricks on hunters or church scholars."

Van En nodded, touched the door panel beside him, and recalled the graffiti with the slanted, grinning face outside the door. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned up, almost forming a checkmark shape with his smile:

"Hehehe! If I catch that extra, I'll repaint the train carriage with his blood~"

Upon hearing this, Lorinsa gasped, thinking to herself:

"The Hearst family hunters are just as Father said, all of them a little bit mad!"

Then, the novice judge looked at Vane's hands, finally focusing on his hairy right hand.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lorinsa noticed that Van was still grinning strangely and found him increasingly odd, so she reminded him:

"Although the Hearst family hunters are said to have an extraordinary resistance to the Beast Disease according to church records, please still pay attention to your symptoms."

Vann raised his right hand, turned it around to look at it, then scratched the back of his slightly itchy hand and asked Lorinsa:

"Katya said the church has a cure for bestiality, did you know that?"

Lorinsa immediately waved her hand and said:

"I know, but as a trainee inquisitor priest, I can't do this for you... Hmm... Perhaps your nun could try. It'll be a while before we get to Sweet Well Village, so that should be enough time."

She shook the bell on her wrist, pulled back the orange that was showing Katya's belly, and said:

"Katya, first let Lord Vann enter your dream, and I'll teach you how to operate it; it might be of some use."

Then, Rolina looked at Van:

"It might hurt a little. Try to get used to it in the dream and try not to wake up."

Katya spread her hands, looking embarrassed.

"Priest, I do have a few incense tools left, but..." She looked at Van En, somewhat helplessly, and said:

"Lord Van En consumes a lot of incense when he falls asleep, and he is also slow to fall asleep, so I don't have enough left."

"Sigh—" Lorinsa sighed deeply and reached into her running board to start groping.

A dozen seconds later, she held a bottle containing a pale silver, viscous liquid in her hand, her tone tinged with reluctance:

"Be careful when you use it. We'll be at Tianjing Village in 30 minutes. Wake him up in about 20 minutes."

"Okay!" Katya nodded, took the bottle of incense, smelled it, and her face immediately lit up with excitement:

"It's 'Snow and Moonlight' from Yongyue City! My older sister brought me a tiny piece, about the size of a fingernail, when she came back last year. It's so cute!"

Katya nodded to Rolinza in thanks: "Thank you for your generosity."

Lorinsa waved her hand: "Take good care of it. You know this thing isn't cheap."

Katya took out her tools, lit the snow and moonlight, then slapped her thigh and invited Vann:

"Sir, please lie down! You were quite injured during the hunt; a rest will do you good!"

Van En, however, was looking at Rolinsa, because from the moment she suggested having surgery on him, there was a hint of excitement in the girl's tone.
