I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

But the next second, his gaze was fixed on the small cloth bag that the Knight Eugene was holding in his hands.

Although the Knight of Eugene had tried his best to cover himself up, one could still vaguely see...

Those are human bones.

Mayor Luke's eyes widened in disbelief as he stood up shakily. "What...do you mean..."

These words completely shattered the last line of defense in the Knight Eugene's mind.

A burly man cried like a child, large tears rolling down his cheeks and landing on the small cloth bag in his hand.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Goddess... I failed to keep my vow... I failed to protect the nun... She was so young, she was only a teenager..."

Mayor Luke slumped into his chair with a thud, his eyes tightly shut, unable to accept this heartbreaking reality.

But as the town mayor, he knew he had to calm down.

As the only nun and doctor in the town of Isa, Ange enjoys a high reputation among the townspeople.

Therefore, how to handle the funeral arrangements for this nun became the matter that Mayor Luke needed to deal with.

Soon, news of Sister Ange's death spread throughout the small town.

Upon hearing this devastating news, everyone in the town was naturally filled with grief.

Ultimately, everyone collectively made a decision—

Lilies were placed in front of the town's church to commemorate the gentle and kind nun.

They firmly believed that the nun would be very happy to know about this.

After all, she was so devout during her lifetime.

...

next day

Anjie was awakened by the warm sunlight. The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes. She had just woken up and her mind was still foggy. She didn't even notice that the strap of her pajamas had slipped off her shoulder.

What a lovely person, it's a pity they only have a mouth.

Anjie: "You're not happy that you didn't confront me first thing in the morning, are you?"

The girl rolled her eyes, pulled the bra strap back over her shoulder, and covered the view that had just appeared.

As Ange stepped out of the room, she was greeted by Novia coming out of the kitchen.

Novia was still wearing the nun's habit that was a size too small, with a gray apron over it. Her shoulder-length short hair was neatly tied back, and she exuded the competence of a married woman.

"I made pumpkin porridge and toast. Wash up and come eat," Novia said slowly after seeing Ange.

Anjie, however, took it in stride.

Novia was already very beautiful, and now, dressed like this and speaking in such a familiar tone, she was practically the perfect wife.

Ange kept staring at her, and Novia thought there was something on her face.

She raised her hands and pinched her cheeks. "Is there something on my face?"

"Ah...no, it's nothing." Anjie finally came to her senses, blushing and shaking her head.

Staring at someone is really impolite.

...

Although the saint was not a competent one, the church still held its daily morning service as usual.

Before the morning meeting, Ange would first wash up so that she could worship the Goddess of Light in the cleanest possible state.

But when Anjie pushed open the church door, the rich fragrance of flowers that greeted her stunned her.

The entrance to the church was filled with bouquets of pure white lilies, at least a hundred of them, densely covering a large open space in front of the church.

At first glance, it looks like a garden of lilies.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the delicate, snow-like petals swirled high into the air.

"What...what happened?" Anjie was stunned by what she saw.

Oh ho, maybe some rich young master has taken a liking to you and is now proposing to you.

Anjie forced a smile: "Forget it. Rather than being noticed, you'd rather tell me this is a funeral someone else is holding for me."

"Mom, are we really not going to see the nun again?"

"...Hmm. The nun is actually the goddess's guard. The goddess missed her so much that she summoned her back ahead of schedule."

"Eh!? Is the nun that amazing? I knew it! The nun is so beautiful, she's the incarnation of a divine messenger."

"..."

"Hehe. I hope the nun won't be lonely by the side of the Goddess of Light. She'll definitely miss us."

The voices of a mother and son could be heard from afar. Anjie noticed that both of them were holding a bunch of white lilies, still covered in dew, clearly freshly picked.

Although the child's innocent and childlike words warmed her heart, Anjie always felt something was off when she heard them.

What do you mean I'm going to serve the Goddess of Light? She'd love to kill me, how could she possibly want me to serve her...?

Anjie thought to herself.

At that moment, the little boy looked up and his gaze met Anjie's.

Ange subconsciously flashed a professional, saintly smile.

The little boy paused slightly, then tugged at the woman's sleeve. "Mommy... that lady looks just like the nun. Is she a relative of the nun?"

"Huh? Which one..." The woman was also taken aback. She looked in the direction Nana was pointing and was surprised to see Anjie.

Ange was about to say something.

But the next second, she saw the mother pick up the little boy and run away as fast as she could.

He ran while shouting, "It's a zombie!!!"

【Ha ha ha ha】

The system's mocking laughter made Anjie's face darken as well.

I only slept for one night, so why can't I understand this world anymore?

Is this retribution for not rescuing the Knight Eugene?

But the Knight Eugene was so powerful that he had already killed all the Black Goat offspring in the forest, so even though he thought of the Knight Eugene, he did not move him out of the forest.

"Phew...looks like I'll have to go to town after breakfast." Ange shook her head helplessly and picked up the nearest bunch of lilies.

The true fragrance of flowers is different from the blood of black goat offspring; it carries a hint of the sweetness unique to life.

"Anjie, are you done washing up? Come and eat!"

"Ah, here it comes~"

Perfect, let's give this bouquet of lilies to Novia.

Build a good relationship with her; that's the only way to persuade her to stay.

During breakfast, Ange asked Novia, as usual, how her decision was going, but Novia remained evasive and ultimately did not give an answer.

Left with no other option, Anjie had to put it off for the time being and decided to ask again at noon.

Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, you can't rush things when it comes to winning a girl's heart.

After breakfast, Anjie headed into the town.

"System, do you know something?"

[Hehe, guess?]

P.S.: I'm going to be on Twitter around noon and I'd like to add an extra chapter. But I'm not that easy to do, so I have a few small requests.

I'll add one chapter for every 500 recommendation votes (but this rule feels like it doesn't really apply). We've already reached 1300 votes, so including the regular updates, we'll be updating four chapters today!

P.S.: This is just a small bounty offered on a whim, so how about it ends on Monday?

Section 15, Chapter 15: Does it ring? A ringing sound means a good butt.

When Anjie stepped into the town, she sensed that the atmosphere around her was somewhat eerie.

Some townspeople who used to greet him warmly now fled as if they had seen a ghost.

Anjie rubbed her cheeks, feeling somewhat discouraged.

Am I no longer cute?

Why do they run away when they see me...?

To find out what had happened, Ange had no choice but to go to the mayor's house to ask.

Soon, Anjie arrived at the mayor's house and gently knocked on the door.

"Is Mayor Luke here? I'm Sister Ange from the church." After saying her name, Ange heard a crisp cracking sound from inside the room, as if something had been smashed.

Then came a series of hurried footsteps. When the door opened, Mayor Luke was staring at him with a surprised expression.

"Mayor Luke, you..." Before Ange could ask anything, Mayor Luke interrupted her:

"Sister Ange, how come you're not dead?"

Anjie: "..."

Tell me! Is the system your alter ego?

Fortunately, Ange's good manners kept her smile in check. "Why is Mayor Luke saying that? I'm perfectly fine... Also, why is everyone in town so afraid of me? What happened?"

Mayor Luke looked Ange up and down, even reaching out to pinch her soft cheek. The warmth from his fingertips finally put his mind at ease.

"Well...it might be a misunderstanding." Mayor Luke scratched his head. "Ah, come in first. It's a long story, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Anjie smiled and nodded, "Okay."
