Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

Lawrence was taken aback by Roland's reply, thinking that perhaps the church was experiencing financial difficulties.

So he secretly planned to donate even more money.

At that moment, in her black cat form, Kalil slapped Roland on the head with her paw.

"Stop laughing, hurry up and ask him about the magic furnace."

Roland composed herself and asked:

"Mr. Lawrence, you just mentioned that you believe the magical contamination in your body was caused by the magic furnace?"

"Magic contamination?"

Lawrence looked at Roland blankly.

"Isn't magical contamination only caused by high-level magic?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! It must be that new Zaunite Furnace!"

"Ever since we switched to this thing, everyone's been getting sick way more often!"

Upon hearing this, Roland almost spat out her saliva.

"What magic furnace did you say?"

"Zaun Magic Furnace, huh?"

With a name like that, it's hard to imagine trouble not arising.

……

After the treatment was completed, Lawrence and his group headed home. As for the service fee, Lawrence promised to bring it over the next day.

Before leaving, Roland told them to stay away from the Zaunite Furnace as much as possible.

Caryl stayed at the church and had no intention of going back.

In the second-floor workshop of the church, Roland sat on the sofa, flipping through an intelligence document. The source of the information was Kalil, who was sitting opposite her.

"The Zaunite Furnace, developed by Wayne Enterprises, uses the latest technology and can be powered directly by inferior elemental crystals."

"It passed the inspection of the Imperial Magic Engineering Institute in just three days and was officially put into use in the capital."

"Its low cost completely breaks the limitation of standard elemental crystals on magic power supply..."

The more Roland looked, the worse her complexion became.

"Boss Kalil, could this Wayne Company have some kind of connection with the Imperial Royal Family?"

"Don't call me 'Boss Lady,' call me 'Big Sister'!"

Three question marks appeared above Roland's head.

"Dude...is this the time for jokes?"

"We've uncovered some serious dirt on them! What if we offend them?"

Caryl maintained her lazy smile, looking smug.

"You're the one who offended us, not us. It's just a domesticated black cat that doesn't know anything."

Roland glared angrily.

Kalil pretended not to see it and instead emitted a burst of magical light, which went off with a bang.

Cat ears and a cat tail appeared.

"I'm a cute little black cat~"

"Huh!"

Roland looked disgusted, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms vigorously until her face turned bright red.

"You pervert, did you drink some kind of magic potion? Aren't you ashamed of your cheesiness?"

"That's because you've been tempting me the whole time. You dressed in a restrained, ascetic style thinking I wouldn't notice? Were you playing hard to get?"

Kalil gripped her fingers in the void, staring at Roland like a lecherous wolf, before pouncing on her from the sofa.

……

After a period of playful fighting...

Caryl sat next to Roland, secretly rubbing her tail against Roland's thigh.

"Don't worry, they won't care about a nobody like you at all."

"But I'm the first person to suspect the magic furnace, and Lawrence and the others will spread the news when they get back."

"so what?"

Caryl tilted her head and looked at Roland, asking.

This stumped Roland, and she said:

"That's why the Zaunite Furnace's sales declined, and it was even banned. Then a bunch of nobles took their anger out on me."

Then, locked in a dark room, Roland frantically cheered herself on. She believed that this kind of thing was bound to happen in this erotic world.

Of course, Roland didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Karil shook her head upon hearing this.

You're overthinking it.

"These things have absolutely no impact on the new technology that can use inferior elements for crystallization; at most, they just accelerate the technological update."

Roland was shocked.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a new type of magical contamination! A lot of people are going to die!"

Caryl casually played with her long red hair.

"Are commoners considered human beings in the eyes of extraordinary individuals and nobles?"

"Forehead……"

Roland was speechless for a moment.

Earth has seen inhuman famines like the Great Famine, let alone other worlds with magic.

Nobles and extraordinary individuals use magic to live longer, become stronger, and become smarter.

Isn't it perfectly reasonable to not treat the lower classes as human beings?

"Besides asking a mage to help, what other cheap methods are there to resolve the magic contamination issue?"

Carrie immediately gave him a "you're dreaming" look. This was magic pollution, not some random cat or dog.

"If such a method really existed, it would have been used by those high-ranking officials of the empire to manage the restricted areas long ago."

Klaus didn't give up; she realized this was a blue ocean market for business.

As an Earthling, she naturally knew that the wave of the energy revolution was unstoppable.

In other words, a large number of civilians will be corrupted by magic in the future.

As one of the first to discover the contamination of the Zaun Furnace, she had already gained an advantage.

If only she could find a cheap and effective way to cure the magical pollution in ordinary people.

That is countless gold coins and faith.

Caryl seemed to see through Roland's thoughts and tried to dissuade him:

"I think you shouldn't overthink it. Instead of wasting your brainpower, you should think about what games you want to play with your sister tonight."

"tonight?"

Roland keenly noticed the word and exclaimed:

"You're staying overnight?!"

"What, isn't it obvious?"

Roland was conflicted.

Of course, it's obvious that this is exactly the same as a child visiting relatives and staying for a while to play.

But letting a succubus live with you, a lone man and woman, is like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

Incidentally, the "woman" in "lonely man and lonely woman" refers to herself.

But today, Khalil helped me so much again...

After all, in theory, a mere nun like her shouldn't be able to get a high-level mage to help her.

Money won't cut it. In this world, you rely on power and connections. What good is money alone?

Oh, she even has a negative balance of money.

In the end, she could only reluctantly agree to Caryl's request.

……

So, Roland got busy in the unused lounge on the second floor.

The second floor of the church is a structure similar to a large open-plan building, with wooden floors made of a material called rock wood, which is extremely strong.

The main hall is a metalworking workshop and various material shelves, which, combined with the floor-to-ceiling windows, creates an unexpectedly cozy atmosphere.

However, the small lounge provided had not been used for a long time, so Roland needed to clean and tidy it up.

Kalil watched from the side, admiring Roland's protruding rear armor while complaining:

"How could you let your sister sleep in the guest room? That's not how you treat a guest."

Roland's lips twitched.

You don't just want to sleep, you want to sleep...

The abacus beads are practically jumping on people's butts, and you're still pretending.
