The story of the black silk female knight

Fortunately, Zero had already seen through everything... With her help and guidance, Valencia successfully completed all four reports, and even the most picky person could not find a single fault with them.

Seeing this situation, the nuns in the internal affairs investigation team were very regretful and unwilling, but there was nothing they could do about it; they couldn't fight city hall.

Anyway, with zero escorts, no amount of harassment would work. When the internal affairs investigation team questioned Valensa, they were rather perfunctory, just going through the motions and that was it.

However, as Valensa was leaving the Internal Affairs Investigation Team's office, she overheard a nun from the team quietly complaining:

"That wretched Saintess! She really only allows officials to set fires, but forbids ordinary people to light lamps... She herself often abuses her position to do all sorts of things without restraint, while we can't even have a good night's play with Lady Valensa... I hope Lady Valensa will soon see through her true colors. Even if she is a saintess now, a succubus is still a succubus!"

What...what do you mean?

The words of the nun from the Internal Affairs Investigation Team naturally made Valensa fall into deep thought, and her gaze toward Zero beside her became somewhat strange.

You're not letting others bully me, are you planning to do it yourself?

"What's wrong, Valensa?"

Noticing Valensa's gaze, Zero neither flinched nor avoided it; instead, she tightened her grip on her arm.

"Am I really that pretty? You're already captivated by me?"

"Yes, Sister Zero is indeed very beautiful. I could stare at you for a year without doing anything else!"

Valensa first flattered Zero, then asked with some curiosity:

"But...does every time I use a superior artifact, I have to go through such a complicated process? Or is it just a special case like this?"

“It has to be like this every time… Even if it’s an emergency and we can use it first and then replenish it later, all these procedures must be completed without any omissions.”

Seeing that Valensa had asked about serious matters, Zero replied with a slightly more serious tone:

"Even I'm no exception... A few days ago, before you came, I had already been questioned and written a report by the internal affairs investigation team. It's just that I'm a skilled worker and I know the rules of this process better than they do. They couldn't find an excuse to bully me, and even if they did, it's hard to say who bullied whom in the end... So I'm fine."

But Valencia, you are different. Although you have made outstanding contributions, you joined the church a long time ago and are not familiar with some of the details, rules and procedures. It is easy for them to find fault with you and manipulate you.

Of course, they're all family, so they probably wouldn't really do anything to you, but the chances are quite high that they'd really torment you all night, like in the Esem and the prisoner interrogation game.

"Uh... well."

Valensa nodded, then asked with some curiosity:

"Then why are you so familiar with these things, Sister Zero? Could it be that you've used the superior artifacts many times? Is our Eve planet really that plagued by disasters?"

“It’s not because of that… Since I took office as the Holy Maiden, Eve Star has used the superior artifact no more than five times, including the time you used it.”

Zero suddenly gave a very meaningful smile:

"As for why I know the Internal Affairs Investigation Team's methods so well... hehe, it's because when I was still a candidate for saintess, I served as the head of the Internal Affairs Investigation Team."

"Ah this..."

Valensa thought to herself, "Good heavens... It seems the complaints I overheard earlier were probably true. This succubus saintess is the one who's really good at bullying people!"

"As for why the use and management of superior artifacts are so strict... it's naturally due to past experiences and lessons learned."

Zero ignored Valensa's fleeting thoughts and continued to answer and explain Valensa's earlier question:

"Although this has never happened on our planet Eve, it has happened on other planets... There have been instances where brothers and sisters in the church, for personal revenge or desire, used high-level artifacts to wipe an entire country or race off the surface of a planet."

Those events caused very serious negative impacts, even alarming Her Majesty the Goddess, who was furious and even considered revoking our access to the superior artifact.

However, some planets face extremely harsh cosmic environments, constantly threatened by asteroid impacts or invasions by cosmic monsters and insectoids. Without the protection of superior artifacts, it would be very difficult for them to survive.

Therefore, Her Majesty the Goddess ultimately did not reclaim the superior artifacts she bestowed upon us, but instead established an Internal Affairs Investigation Group within the Church to specifically oversee the use of these artifacts… In matters like this, they are even more powerful than officials; let alone inner paladins and saintesses like us, even the popes themselves have to cooperate obediently when they are in the Internal Affairs Investigation Group.”

"The oversight system of this internal affairs investigation team is quite good."

Valensa certainly wouldn't dare say that the department Her Majesty the Goddess herself had established was inadequate. She first affirmed the necessity of the Internal Affairs Investigation Team before offering a slight complaint:

"Unfortunately, some women have taken advantage of this and turned it into a tool to satisfy their special interests."

"That's because the sisters also know that Valensa, your reason for using the superior artifact this time is perfectly acceptable, so they went through the process with you in a playful manner."

At this moment, Zero spoke very earnestly:

"If you, Valensa, really did use the superior artifact for your own selfish desires... ha, they will most likely pretend to play Esem with you, and then conduct real torture interrogations."

Don't underestimate the interrogation skills of those sisters. They all possess special divine arts bestowed upon them by the goddess... No matter how strong your will is, they can turn you into a brainless idiot who can only tell the truth.

So~~”

Zero then brought her face close to Valensa's and whispered in her ear:

"Valenza, you must be good, okay? Don't do anything bad in the future, or you'll really get arrested by the Internal Affairs Investigation Team, and even your older sister won't be able to save you."

"Don't worry about that, Sister Zero~~"

Valensa quickly assured her:

"How could someone as well-behaved as me do anything bad?"

"...Hmm, I hope so."

Some things are best left unsaid, so Zero didn't continue on that topic. Instead, she took Valensa's arm and started walking quickly in one direction.

"Uh...where are we going, Zero-nee-nee?"

Valensa was somewhat puzzled:

"Now that the internal affairs investigation team has finished its work, can I go straight back to the Frenoia continent? There's still a lot of work to do there..."

"No way! Don't even think about it!"

Zero immediately interrupted Valensa with wide eyes:

"Valenza, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you? I'll take care of all the procedures and troubles involved in using this high-level artifact, and in return, you'll spend a few days playing with me in the Sanctuary... Or are you trying to renege on your promise, Valenza?"

"Of course I won't renege on my debt, but..."

Valensa wanted to say that now was not the time to relax, and asked if they could wait a few years until they had defeated the Central Continent Empire before fulfilling their promise.

"No buts!"

Zero resolutely interrupted Valensa once again, grabbing Valensa's arms with both hands, while the succubus tail with its pink heart-shaped tip wrapped around Valensa's calves once more.

"I've already made all the arrangements! You have to keep your promise this time! The next few days are mine! You have to keep me company and have a good time!"

"Ah...that's okay."

Seeing that Zero's eyes were starting to glow pink, and that he seemed ready to use his succubus magic to capture her on the spot if she chased him away, Valensa agreed.

Since the agreement has to be fulfilled anyway, it doesn't really matter whether it's sooner or later... The wild beasts on the Frenoia continent have been completely dealt with, the formation of the allied forces is proceeding in an orderly manner, and dealing with the Nether Ghosts or Mist Demons will have to wait until Tia finishes her meditation.

In short, Valencia is currently on a short break while preparing for the competition, so spending a few days with Zero wouldn't be a bad idea.

Since that's the case, it's better to comply and enjoy it than to be caught and forced.

"I'll do whatever you say, Sister Ling."

"This is my sweet little sister~~"

Zero smiled again and gently took Valensa's arm as they continued walking.

"Actually, little sister, you don't need to worry too much. You probably already figured out my hobbies when you came last time, right? It's nothing more than watching sports, playing cards, and taking baths."

As a saintess, I'm very busy with work. Even if I wanted you to spend a few days with me, I could only have three nights... which corresponds to my three hobbies.

Tonight is the first night, Valencia, you'll keep me company while I watch the game, and then you can even play with the ball yourself.

"Want to watch or play ball? Of course, no problem. The games here are really exciting."

Valensa breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard Zero say that he was just watching and playing the game.

But after being led by the arm for about half a minute, Valensa realized something was wrong.

She had lived in the Sanctuary for quite some time before, and during that time, Zero and Velenkasa often dragged her to watch the games, so she was quite familiar with the location of the stadium.

"This doesn't seem to be the way to the stadium, does it, Zero-neechan?"

"It's definitely not going to the stadium."

Zero didn't deny it, he just smiled:

"But don't worry, little sister, the viewing experience here is even better than at the stadium. You can even play with the ball yourself right after the game, which is very convenient."

"Uh... well."

Valensa still felt that something was off, especially since Zero's tone was always meaningful when he said the words "play ball," and he would lick his lips like a predator that had locked onto its prey.

Could it be that while watching the ball, I ended up looking at it on the bed?

Valensa grumbled inwardly, but didn't refuse, and continued to follow Zero... Anyway, Zero was a super beauty, so it wouldn't be a loss if she really took advantage of her.

After finally arriving at a great place to watch the game, Valensa felt more and more certain that she hadn't guessed wrong.

This is a room with a rather ambiguous decor. The first thing you see when you enter is a huge round bed.

The ceiling directly above the round bed resembles a high-definition projection screen, currently broadcasting a live match from the stadium.

The matches here are still in the same style: both teams are composed of stunningly beautiful women, each with a hotter figure than the last, dressed in various tight-fitting sportswear and pantyhose, using their chests, hips, and feet to repeatedly strike the ball on the green field to score against the opponent's goal.

During intense competition, it's common for players' silk tights to tear, and whenever this happens, it elicits cheers from the audience, sometimes even louder than when a goal is scored.

After watching such a match, not only were the participating players drenched in sweat, but many spectators were also breathing heavily, with some of their clothes soaked with sweat.

For example, Valensa and Zero, who just watched the game side by side on the big round bed, looked like this.

They stared at each other, their deep blue and pink eyes growing increasingly intense.

Valensa was still trying to maintain her composure, but Zero quickly dropped all pretense, flipping over and pinning her down, his tail wrapping around her as well.

"The game's over... Now it's time to play ball, Valensa~~"

Chapter 49 An Inevitable Part

There was no ball in the room, but Zero and Valensa both had a great time playing with it. This is the ultimate level of playing with a ball – playing without a ball is better than playing with a ball.

Valensa was initially quite reserved and subtle. Faced with Zero's relentless advances, she feigned struggle and refusal while shouting:

"No...we can't do this, Zero-nee!"

This is workplace harassment!

"You are already a saintess! Don't revert to your succubus nature so easily!"

Zero, of course, wouldn't stop because of this level of rejection; instead, he intensified his offensive, teasing her as he attacked:

"But Valensa, you must want that too, right?"

"Look at you, you say no but your body is already cooperating with me."

"Come on, let's have some fun together!"

In the end, the legendary female knight who had saved the world still couldn't defeat the succubus saintess. She was routed by Zero's offensive, shouting "Tia, I'm sorry" before her mind went blank.

. . . . .

Meanwhile, on the continent of Frenoia, in the desolate lands, in the underground ruins, in a meditation retreat.

Snapped!

The water cup was smashed on the ground and shattered into pieces.

Whoosh!

Her calves, encased in white stockings, kicked out angrily, overturning the round table where the cups had been placed, scattering fruit and pastries all over the floor.

Even so, the owner of the white silk stockings and small feet did not calm down at all. The peaches and soft cakes rolling on the ground seemed to remind her of someone.

So she hopped over in a series of quick leaps, taking three steps at a time, and stomped hard on the peaches and soft cakes on the carpet, as if venting her anger on someone.

They only stopped when the peaches were crushed and cracked, the soft cakes were mashed into a pulp, and the little white silk feet were covered in sticky peach juice, cream, and chocolate.

"I'm so angry! That idiot! He's really infuriating!"

The one who was so angry was naturally Tia, who was in seclusion for meditation.

She was already in the period of paying the price for the removal of the magic, and her temper was much more irritable than usual. When she saw something that didn't look right to her, she wanted to banish it to another dimension or blow it up with a nuclear bomb.

This is also the main reason why Tia chose to go into seclusion and meditate, because she was worried that she might lose control of her current temper and cause some kind of accident.

An ordinary housewife might smash a few pieces of furniture at most when she's in a bad mood, but it's hard to say what Tia might smash when she really loses control.

Valencia's actions at this moment are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

In the final battle of the war against the extinction of the wild beasts, Tia not only used the dispelling magic, but also summoned the mental images of the past patriarchs of the Britannia family to fight.

Simply summoning a thought entity isn't actually that difficult. For Britannia, it's something she can do by putting a little effort into the bloodline connection aspect of arcane arts and refining her necromancy.
