Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

[Third update delivered, love from author OVO.]

Roland's fast food restaurant is already built.

Its name is "Laurent Krusty Krab".

The overall template is based on KFC in downtown Beijing, but with a touch of otherworldly style.

The surrounding area is still made of transparent glass, but the floor, tables and chairs are made of oak and gold-plated wood panels, and the walls are decorated with many patterns.

There is a large circular fountain on the lawn in front of the store, which looks very high-end.

Inside the store, more than a dozen people were busy preparing for the opening.

Roland was among them, her face made up with exquisite makeup, making her look even more beautiful and alluring. She was checking on the fast food restaurant with the sheep.

The fast food restaurant currently has twelve employees, all of whom are from Pink Harbor, and is led by Sheep.

They all learned how to cook the Krabby Patty.

As for the taste, after the sheep confirmed the recipe, Roland asked Caryl to improve the kitchen utensils.

Most of the processes for making the Krusty Krab now follow a simple, assembly-line approach.

"Alright, it's time. Everyone get ready, we're opening the door!"

Roland looked at the pocket watch on her hand and shouted loudly.

The employees gathered around and lined up.

At this time, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered along the roadside near the church.

……

Nightingale, a dark-skinned elf who had once confronted Kalil, was also mingling in the crowd.

She wore a simple outfit and looked like a neighbor lady going out to buy groceries.

Ever since she obtained the ring that controls the [Desire Imprint] on Roland, she has been trying to find a way to infiltrate the church.

But these past few days, that damned Caryl has been frequenting the church, messing around with Roland at some fast food restaurant.

This made her afraid to get too close.

This prevented her from testing the new props that His Highness had given her.

But today is different. With the Krusty Krab opening, she can easily get close to Roland by simply concealing her magic and blending into the crowd.

No one knows what went wrong with Sister Roland; for a whole week, her "GG" signs were erected all over the old port area.

She advertises her cheap Krabby Patty everywhere, and also things like "Crazy Thursday".

Now everyone in the old port area knows she's trying to do business with the poor, and they're all waiting to see her fail.

……

On the other side, Roland was ready and walked onto the high platform erected in front of the store.

It faces the church's garden gate and the huge crowd in front of it.

Many people in the crowd recognized Roland and cheered loudly, creating a great uproar.

"Sister Roland! It's Sister Roland! She cured my daughter's strange illness!"

"Wow, Sister Roland looks so beautiful today, even more beautiful than usual."

"Daddy, it's Miss Roland! Lift me up, I want to see Miss Roland!"

Roland's performance during the magic pollution incident greatly enhanced her reputation in the Old Port District.

Even though Elizabeth began promoting stable potions in various places, most people in the Old Port still only recognized Roland.

This is why so many ordinary people have taken time out of their work to support us today.

Roland looked at the scene before her with satisfaction, feeling not only from the gain of faith points, but also from an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

On Earth, he would be just an ordinary, unremarkable graduate.

In the old port area, she was a highly anticipated candidate for sainthood, contributing to the people's livelihood and development.

So she cleared her throat and resolutely activated the newly acquired skill.

[Incendiary Speech]

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Laura, the current head nun of Newbeams Street Church."

"It is an honor to have everyone's support and to be here for the opening ceremony of 'Laurent Krusty Krab'."

"Krusty Krab's GG is honest and trustworthy. We sincerely provide the most affordable and nutritious Krabby Patty meals for every hard-working person."

"This is a sign of respect for the workers. You once shouldered the prosperity of the old port area, and you never gave up on the declining docks..."

"Even under the threat of magical contamination, it has never stopped working. The Krusty Krab was built for your struggles..."

Roland's voice, amplified by the chain of loudspeakers in Pink Harbor, spread to every alley around New Sprout Street.

The content of the speech caused many ordinary people, who were used to working without much motivation, to stop what they were doing and stick their heads out of their windows.

These laborers, living at the very bottom of society, appeared for the first time in the speeches of the nobles.

……

The nightingale stared blankly at Roland on the high platform.

She had never heard a speech like this before.

Instead of praising royalty and nobility or extolling himself, he repeatedly lauded the labor of ordinary people at the bottom of society.

Although she didn't use fancy words, her words were incredibly infectious, each one containing a power that was about to erupt.

Even she couldn't help but be swayed by Roland's words.

If... if she were homeless, starving, and unable to afford even a loaf of bread, she could meet Roland.

What if everything...?

"No! What am I thinking?" Nightingale suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked in Roland's direction with fear.

This level of incitement is terrifying.

She looked around, and the once noisy crowd seemed to have fallen silent, quietly gazing in the direction of the high platform.

It seemed that something was accumulating among these weak civilians.

"Lady Roland is the true saint, the one for us commoners!"

Someone shouted out.

Then came a wave of shouts.

"Saintess Roland!"

"Saintess Roland!"

"Saintess Roland!"

People waved their right hands and shouted Roland's name.

The nightingale was stunned, but sensed something was wrong.

"We can't let this nun continue like this. It will attract too much attention from the Church of Light, and then we won't have the luxury of letting her carry out her plan of corruption."

Thinking this, she pulled out a small pink metal box with a button on it.

She took off the ring that controlled Roland, set it in the empty space reserved in the box, and resolutely pressed the button.

……

Roland was delivering a brilliant part of her speech when she suddenly paused.

This aroused the confusion of the sheep beside her, but soon Roland resumed her speech.

But Yang Meimei's furrowed brows did not relax, because she could actually smell the scent of desire on Roland.

How is this possible?!

……

Roland was heartbroken at this moment.

For some unknown reason, the [Desire Mark] on her lower abdomen suddenly began to burn, making her voice almost distorted.

If she were to lift her clothes now, she would see mysterious magical patterns, glowing with a pink light.

Along with this comes a continuous increase in air humidity, as if a heavy rain would fall from the sky at any moment.

"No! This can't happen! If it breaks out here, my life in this other world will be over!"

"Hold on! You have to hold on!"

"Go, Roland! You're the strongest ninja in Konoha! Hang in there!"

Roland roared inwardly, trying her best to maintain a natural demeanor on the surface.
