Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

"Greetings, my lord!"

The sweet, delicate voices of the six tentacle monster girls sent chills down Roland's spine.

She quickly waved her hand and said.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! I didn't have any tools to commit the crime, I'm innocent!"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to deploy a shield, as if afraid that these girls would hit him if they touched it.

Nightingale also stared at the girls and echoed their sentiments.

"Miss Roland is right. What kind of scum dares to call Miss Roland 'husband'!"

Roland turned her head to look at Nightingale with a puzzled expression.

"Why is that what you care about? Shouldn't you be asking them why they call me that?"

Nightingale nodded to indicate that she understood, and looked at the girls again with a blank expression.

"Did you hear me? What's wrong with you lot? Have you betrayed us?!"

The girls seemed completely deaf to Nightingale's words, their faces indifferent.

Roland looked at Nightingale, who was pretending to be confused, sighed, and asked the girls.

"What's going on with you guys? Are you going to fight or not?"

The tentacle monster girls maintained their indifferent expressions, and the girl in the lead lowered her head humbly as she answered.

"Master, we are all your brides, how could we dare to offend you?"

"Why do you call me master and husband at the same time?"

Upon hearing Roland's question, the girl seemed to be stumped, tilting her head and looking rather dim-witted.

"I don't know, my master is my husband."

Looking at her like this, and considering their dull performance in battle, Roland noticed.

These girls have probably been turned into rag dolls who only obey orders.

Roland hesitated for a moment, then gave the order to the girl.

"Squat down."

The six tentacle-like girls squatted down and looked at Roland with curiosity.

"Spin around."

"Breathe."

"Playing basketball."

"Doing diarrhea while upside down... No, no, no, you don't need to do this anymore, stop now!"

Roland looked at the girls who obediently followed her orders, and the tentacles swaying behind them.

She immediately thought of the powerful tentacle that had vanished into thin air after attacking her.

And the pink cross star at the corner of her eye.

"Could this be the mark of that [Tentacle Mother Goddess]? Is that why these guys have acknowledged me as their master?"

Roland looked at herself in the mirror with concern, but didn't know how to verify it.

Perhaps we can ask Ms. Tree when we get back. After all, she has lived for so long, and even if she is a tree spirit from the countryside, she should know a lot.

Thinking of this, Roland asked the nightingale.

"Nightingale, where's Coco the cat? Let's hurry and figure out a way to get out of here."

"I'm here, Lady Roland."

Coco the cat dragged her twisted and deformed right leg, carrying a golden lid, and staggered over.

The hem of her overalls was stained with blood, which, combined with her pale and ashen face, made her look extremely pitiful.

Roland gasped in surprise, quickly stood up, and helped Coco the cat sit down slowly.

Then I took out the healing scroll and started applying it to Coco the cat, but it only healed the basic external wounds.

The correction of the right leg can only be done at the church.

Coco the cat, who had received treatment, looked flattered and thanked him stammeringly.

"Thank you, Lady Roland! Was that a basic healing spell just now?"

Roland thought she was worried about her twisted right leg and reassured her.

"Don't worry, you did a great job in this battle. I'll help you heal your leg when we get back, and you won't be lame anymore."

"No, I'm not worried about this cat."

Coco the cat had tears in her eyes.

"I was so touched that you cared about me so much, meow."

Roland waved her hand, not thinking it was a big deal.

Coco the cat destroyed the core of the skeleton old man's base, something she overheard during the battle.

Roland has decided to give the hero of the battle a big reward afterward.

"By the way, Coco the Cat, can you tell us what you encountered down there?"

Roland looked at the golden lid that Coco the cat was clutching tightly in her hand and asked curiously.

She was quite curious as to why removing a golden magical lid could cause the base's core to shut down.

Coco the cat nodded and immediately began to recount her experiences after the battle began in great detail.

……

It turns out that Coco the cat realized that if she joined the battle, she would only be a burden to her teammates.

He decisively relied on the magical equipment, items, and scrolls given to him by Roland to enter stealth mode.

Taking advantage of the chaos on the ground, I slipped into the basement.

Although three cultists discovered her, she was quick and agile, and with the financial power given to her by Roland, she wreaked havoc in the basement.

Despite having his leg broken, he successfully stole a bunch of magic circle components and even pried off a piece of the core's cover.

As Coco the cat finished speaking, she proudly presented the golden lid to Roland.

Roland took it, and then her hand felt a sudden weight.

This thing is a magical alloy based on gold, which, after being treated with alchemy, has extremely high strength and magical conductivity.

Although the world produces a lot of gold, such a large piece is still quite a luxury.

"I can't breathe," Coco continued.

"I figured this thing must be something important because it uses so much gold, so I was determined to steal it, no matter what."

"Sure enough, after I pried it off, the entire magic circle started emitting black smoke, and then a pink octopus the size of a head ran out of it and disappeared."

Roland grasped the key information and immediately asked.

"What's this pink octopus? What does it look like? Does it have tentacles? What other characteristics does it have?"

Coco scratched her head. She was pretty much a country girl herself, and she couldn't think of many adjectives to describe her.

"It's a small octopus, like the kind you catch at the dock, but it's round and a little cute."

"The color is pink, but what kind of pink...?"

Coco the cat looked at Roland, and then pointed at the pink cross star at the corner of Roland's eye with some surprise.

"It's like the star tattooed on the corner of your eye, that's about the same color."

Roland sensed something was wrong; this pink cross star was indeed related to the tentacle monster and the Abyss Cult.

Just as he was about to speak, the nightingale beside him called out a reminder.

"Miss Roland, the sealing barrier is about to collapse. It must be the effect of Miss Cat Coco's actions."

"What! Then let's pack up quickly..."

Roland exclaimed in surprise and quickly directed the two others and six tentacle monster girls to clean up the battlefield, remove traces, and tie up the surviving soldiers.

She had previously considered reporting it to the church, since it concerned the invasion of the Abyss.

But now he might have gotten involved with the abyss, and he's surrounded by six tentacle monster girls.

If anything is discovered, it might just lead to a scene of "the saintess's imprisonment and torture".

About half a minute later, Roland finished her disguise, and the sealing barrier gradually became illusory before shattering and disappearing.

At that moment, a wall of trees rose from the ground, surrounding Roland and the others.

[The Tree Realm Descends!]

A clear, high-pitched female voice rang out; it was Ms. Shu's voice.

"Miss Roland, don't be afraid, we're here to save you!"

"Holy crap! You horrible fox, where did you hide my Roland?!"
