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

She doesn't deserve it.

"Heh, you abandoned me to the church when I was less than a year old, and then you went off to have some fun somewhere. Now you suddenly come out and want me to call you mother. Do you think that's possible? You're just a stranger."

Ange's smile was somewhat mocking. "In other words, if I can call you mother, then I can call any random stranger mother. Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of shameless person."

With that, Ange pushed aside Casdale, who was blocking her way, and walked toward the door.

Wow, when did you become so brave?

"It was all an act. How was my acting? Pretty good, right?"

【…】

"Look at that guy, he's obviously obsessed with his daughter. If I don't refuse, she might keep bothering me for a long time."

I thought you'd finally regained your virginity and had some backbone after all.

"How could that be? To be honest, if she really let me go so easily, I'd call her 'Dad,' let alone 'Mom'!"

I overestimated you; the clown is actually myself...

Just as Anjie was feeling smug about having managed to outwit the system, the system's next sentence left her frozen in place.

But I just love saying no to self-righteous people like you!

Anjie: "..."

System, you're ruthless!

Castel stared blankly at Ange's retreating figure, the girl's words feeling like a sharp sword piercing his heart.

Just as the girl said, she had "abandoned" Ange before Ange could even remember anything.

Although it wasn't my intention, that's just how it is.

She hadn't fulfilled her duties as a mother, yet now she suddenly appeared and asked the other person to call her "mother."

Kastal clutched her heart, the throbbing pain making her feel a long-lost sense of heartache.

Never mind...

This is all my own fault...

Kastel let out a helpless sigh, her eyes red as she looked at Ange's retreating figure.

However, the next second, she suddenly saw the girl who was about to leave the room turn around. Her previous cold and sarcastic expression disappeared, replaced by a charming and cute smile.

"Mommy~ I was just joking with you~ I finally got to see you, how could I leave you? Let your darling daughter give me a hug, I missed you so much~"

As she spoke, the girl threw herself into Castel's arms and rubbed against his 36D breasts.

Kastel was taken aback for a moment.

The girl's sudden change in attitude left her completely bewildered.

"You...you really don't blame me?"

"How could I possibly blame you? But I was a little angry just now. Over the years, I've missed my mother every moment, but when she first appeared, she not only hit me but also forced me to wear these clothes... Even I would lose my temper sometimes."

Ange hugged Casdale and secretly pinched her arm hard, forcing out two tears.

"Mom...you won't blame them, will you?"

The girl tilted her head back, tears welling in her red eyes, like an abandoned kitten, both pitiful and heartbreaking.

Seeing the girl's tearful face, Kastel's heart softened immediately. Forgetting everything that had happened, she pulled Ange into a tight embrace, saying, "No...no...it's good that you still recognize me as your mother..."

"Mmm, Mom is the best~"

System, you just wait!

...

"So, you mean Kastal has been missing for a long time? And who was the guy who stole our artifact?"

In the fortress's council chamber, a girl in a blue dress sat on a chair, her icy blue vertical pupils coldly watching Jelena and the others.

As a powerful, almost godlike serpent from the permafrost, Jormungandr could easily transform into a human, but she dislikes this frail body.

If it weren't for the convenience of communicating with these humans, she wouldn't bother transforming into human form.

Jelena shook her head. "No, if your artifact was indeed stolen, it's very possible that it was Castel who did it. But unfortunately, we don't know her whereabouts. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been missing for so long."

Jormungandr grinned, revealing two sharp teeth. "No matter what, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, I'll slaughter this fortress."

Judging from her previous demonstrations of strength, she certainly possesses such abilities.

Although Jelena and her three companions could defeat Jormungandr, protecting the fortress under its full power level was practically impossible.

Fortunately, Jelinek had already come up with a solution.

"Of course we will give you an explanation. As you just learned, Castel took away our current saintess."

"so what?"

“With Castel’s disappearance, we have a strict grasp on the location of the Saintess. Ange has a location spell we set up. As long as we follow the spell, we can find Ange, and then we will find Castel.”

Chapter 17, Section 120: Mother Takes Me to a Brothel

Jelena's words made Jormungandr's eyes light up. She looked at the four of them curiously, "Location magic? Then where is your... uh, Saintess Ange now?"

Jormungandr paused for a moment when Ange's name was mentioned, clearly indicating that the other party had no intention of remembering Ange from the beginning.

Jerina smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Joan. "The source of Ange's location magic is in your hands. So where is Ange now?"

If Ange were here, she would understand why Chief Judge Joan was able to find her even when she had gone to a remote town like Aisa.

Upon hearing this, Emil and Gaya also looked at Joan nervously.

To everyone's surprise, Joan looked embarrassed and said, "Well... actually, I don't know either..."

Jerina was stunned and asked instinctively, "How is that possible!?"

"But that's the truth... From the day Ange disappeared, I couldn't locate her anymore. It's like the location magic on her body was being interfered with by something."

I can only sense Anjie's vital signs right now, but her exact location... I'm sorry, I can't detect it either.

If I had been able to find out, I wouldn't have taken Emil and Gaya south...

Joan scratched her head, looking somewhat helpless.

Even she herself couldn't understand why this was happening.

Jormungandr snorted coldly, "I see now. You humans are deliberately making fun of me, aren't you? The real and fake saintess, the disappearance of Kastal, the failure of the location magic—it's all a lie! What a coincidence that all these things happen at the same time!"

After saying that, she ignored everyone's awkward expressions and got up to walk out the door.

She had made up her mind that she had to slaughter this fortress today, otherwise these foolish humans would always think she was easy to bully.

Jormungandr's hand had just touched the doorknob when Joan's voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Wait—I think I... sensed it."

Jormungandr: "..."

Sure enough, these humans are just messing with me, right?

...

"Uh...Mom, what did you just do?"

Ange looked at Casdale with a puzzled expression.

Just now, the other person suddenly hugged me, pointed their index finger at my brow, drew out a purple magic power, and then crushed it in their palm.

Kastal looked at Ange with a strange gaze: "It only removed the shielding magic from your body."

"Huh? Blocking magic?" Ange was taken aback.

Casdale patiently explained, "Or... a very troublesome guy set this up for you. Have you run into any strange people lately?"

You're the strangest person ever!

Ange really wanted to complain like that, but what came out was: "No. Lately, I've only met friends, people from the Church of Light, and some soldiers, but none of them are strange people."

Kastal frowned slightly.

But in the end, she shook her head, shaking the matter out of her mind. "Okay, I won't think about those things anymore. If that guy really does something, he'll definitely show up again. As for now... hehe, Mommy will take you to a fun place."

Anjie was taken aback.

Fun places to go?

Ange's face darkened as she thought about the maid outfit she was wearing.

She always felt that this crazy woman would never take her to any respectable places.

Soon, Anjie's idea was proven true.

Exotic brothel!

"Hiss—" Ange looked at Castel in horror, "Are you sure you didn't take me to the wrong place?"
