The Fifth Volume: Return from the Other Shore - Here Lies a Pervert

I dream about Blood Fiend's past from time to time, such as the people she secretly killed when she was a nun who coveted her beauty, the shady things she did behind the scenes after becoming Saintess, and the strength she displayed after joining the organization...

The only thing she dreamed about was her childhood before becoming a nun, which she only dreamed about once in the capital, and never again after that.

As a traitor to the Holy See, her personal history had long been taboo by the Divine Law Cult, and outsiders could not find it. She also did not reveal her detailed background after joining the Blood Blade Knights.

Fortunately, in that one and only dream, I learned the location and name of the small village where she was born.

Dunwich Village, Kasser Province, Seventh Diocese, under the jurisdiction of Serafino City.

I am currently located in the city of Kassel, the main Kasser City Kasser Province.

If I remember correctly, the Kasser Province was the first Catholic province to be secretly controlled by the Revolutionary Army. After all, it was the place where the spiritual leader was located, so infiltration would be much easier.

The current Kasser Saintess and the Archbishop are probably either Bloodfang's people or puppets under his control. If I go directly into the church here and reveal my identity, I'll definitely get a lot of benefits. They might even hold a grand welcoming ceremony.

Unfortunately, I now prefer to operate covertly.

I want to end my ill-fated relationship with Blood Fiend as soon as possible, and also resolve two long-standing worries of mine.

I touched the shoulder bag on my shoulder.

It contained a small amount of food and water, as well as the Sub Core of the Boundary Breaking Armor and the cocoon of the Little Butterfly.

The cloak I was wearing had a Mexican chamano style, except that it had a hood covering my face. I felt like I was back when I first arrived at the Northern Border, carefully hiding myself and trying not to attract attention.

A solo trip... that sounds quite romantic.

If it weren't for this guy.

The Kasser City was bustling with activity.

Neat rows of white buildings stretch out in a well-planned, staggered pattern. The clean streets resemble a giant spider web, connecting commercial areas, residential areas, churches, parks, and other places. Despite the high density, there is no sense of congestion, and the various public facilities are also very advanced.

At first glance, it seems no different from other provinces like Torres.

But once you delve deeper, you'll find that the atmosphere in this city is far more relaxed and cheerful than in other major cities, and the ordinary people walking on the streets have smiles on their faces rather than worries about life.

Anyone who stays here for a while will realize that the control exerted by the Cathedral of Kasser over the people is the loosest among all the provinces. There are no harsh policies or heavy taxes, and people are not forced to make offerings to the supreme god. It is even okay not to go to church on Sundays.

If His Holiness the Pope were here, he would be furious. To act so casually is a complete disregard for canon law.

The people living in the city were also somewhat aware of this, but everyone kept it to themselves; no one would refuse a peaceful life free from religious oppression. Although the holy city's inspectors would visit the area regularly, the city's rulers—the successive Archbishop and Kasser Saintess —always found a way to evade them, and over time they became objects of the people's trust and worship.

Today, Kasser Saintess is also idly strolling around the city.

That's right—it was just strolling around. Despite being Saintess, she had taken off her signature Saintess robes, put on simple coarse clothes, and covered her face with a headscarf and scarf. She then swaggered through the city.

Because she was merely a decoration in the cathedral.

The Blood Blade Knights' infiltration of the Kasser Province was completed over a century ago. A hundred years is ample time for the Bloodblade's members to fully integrate into the Kasser Province's prestigious families—it's important to understand that almost all the past Saintess and Archbishop were born into these powerful clans; integrating into these families is tantamount to controlling future Saintess and Archbishop. If the Holy City appoints administrative personnel, the Bloodblade will use every means to strip those unfortunate individuals of their power; if they don't cooperate, they'll resort to "special methods." In short, the Divine Law Cult in the Kasser Province is merely a figurehead; those truly in charge are all forward-thinking reformers carefully cultivated by the Bloodblade.

Although it sounds a bit... unpleasant, it has to be admitted that the Blood Blade Knights did a much better job than the Papacy. People had all the freedom within reasonable limits, but this freedom did not threaten the Bloodblade's rule. They found a wonderful balance between the ruler's toughness and the democracy given to the people. You can't help but admire them.

(Well... actually, this is pretty good. I only have to preside over some superficial ceremonies, without having to work or do any physical labor. Life is easy and carefree. Thinking about it this way, am I perhaps a winner in life?)

Kasser Saintess Molly Kasser actually enjoys this kind of life. She doesn't have to do any real work but can be worshipped by all the people. Why not? However, such days are really a bit boring, so sneaking out to stroll around the city has become one of her special activities.

Incidentally, as the Kasser Saintess, she is naturally the least loyal to the Holy See among all the Saintess. But if that's the case, why does the oracle still choose Saintess from these families controlled by Bloodfang every time? Perhaps a supreme god doesn't really exist.

(A society where people are free and happy, and the economy is thriving—this is clearly much better than the dry, barren society of the Vatican! Hmm?)

A commoner wearing a cloak and hood appeared in front of me, her face and figure obscured, but judging from her gait, she was a woman.

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about it, but Molly was inexplicably drawn to it.

The Saintess's intuition told her that this cloaked woman possessed a subtle yet powerful aura. Others might not have noticed it, but Molly could tell at a glance that she was different from everyone else.

(Could she be an absolutely stunningly beautiful girl? I'm so curious~)

Looking at beautiful women and handsome young men was one of Molly's few hobbies, and she was eagerly planning to go up and strike up a conversation.

The woman spoke first.

"I'm telling you, you rascal..."

It was a beautiful, melodious female voice, like that of a nightingale, soothing to the soul. Molly was startled, thinking the woman had noticed her from this distance, but she didn't seem to be speaking to her.

She turned her head, the beautifully shaped curve of her nose peeking out from under her hood. There was no one in front of her, only a point in the void.

(Strange, who is she talking to?--)

"No matter what you say, sticking Blood Tentacle into your mouth, through your [beep--], and then stirring them around is just too much, and more importantly, it's unhygienic."

"--!?"

What are you doing?

Just now, this beautiful woman (or so it seems) said something extraordinary to something that was actually lying in the middle of nowhere?

(I must have misheard! How could there be such a shameless person? It must be--)

"... So, why are you so obsessed with what comes after?! [beep--] Are you a masochist?"

(You heard me right!!!!)

Molly turned green with fright.

This person, who appears to be a great beauty, is actually a pervert who mutters lewd words to himself in the void!

How terrifying!

"Yes, I know it's exciting, and I'm interested in it myself, but generally speaking, men are better able to experience pleasure through [beep--] than women, after all, they have prostates, and women who like [beep--] generally have a stronger than average masochistic tendency, which is what our Earth's scholars have researched."

The strange woman continued talking to herself, and what she said seemed to be getting increasingly dangerous.

"You, you encouraged me to rape a stranger, fine, but who rapes someone by starting with their rear... although it's still much better than some idiot who starts with [beep--] their throat and gets bitten to pieces..."

It's decided. There's no mistake.

This woman is a perverted rapist.

Now that things have come to this, Molly has calmed down.

She called out to a passing patrolman.

"Officer, that woman is a pervert. She keeps saying things like [beep--][beep--][beep--]."

"Huh? Really? I'll go check..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, my Husband, it seems you still don't understand how fun it is to abuse others [beep--]. Let me tell you, there are actually more ways to play later than before."

"I admit I'm very interested in your profound knowledge, but don't you think using [beep--] is troublesome? Every time, you have to carefully [beep--] clean your intestines, apply lubricant, and so on..."

"That's where the fun lies! And I never said we had to prepare so meticulously! Just imagine, pinning a ten-year-old girl who's just starting to develop down to the dirty cement floor, setting up the camera, ripping off her clothes, tearing her cute little bear panties, not the front, but aiming specifically at her cute little [beep--] in the back! Feeling that tender [beep--] flesh being torn apart by your [beep--], watching the blood gushing out, listening to that moving scream! Muddling her insides to pieces! Even if she faints, goes into shock, or even dies, I won't stop! Ah~ ah~ ah~~~ It's true, just thinking about it makes me hot all over! How about it, my Husband, let's do it!"

"Fuck you!!! And I'm not interested in little girls!"

"So, the main point is that you're not interested in young girls? As expected of my Husband, you actually have many more ways to play with married women! First, turn her husband and children into human sticks, cut off their eyelids, and make them obediently watch you abuse their wives and mothers! Then, make them stare at you while using the most—"

"Stop it if you don't want to be banned! You're even more villainous than the villains themselves!"

"Oh, my Husband, you always speak the truth!"

"Tsk..."

"However--"

A luxurious body, exuding a sweet fragrance mixed with the smell of blood, pressed tightly against me.

A bright red tongue licked my face.

It's clearly an illusory existence that only I can see, yet the feel of it is incredibly real.

"--My Husband, you can do whatever you want with me, whether it's ordinary or intense SM that will tear your spine out, I'm the kind of person who will never break no matter what you do..."

Her childlike face was overflowing with a seductive allure that sent chills down your spine; her disproportionately large breasts swayed gently against her petite frame. This girl was truly...

"What's wrong, my Husband? Your heart is beating so fast. Are you finally going to punish me on the spot?"

"I just have a slightly dry mouth..."

"Hello, ma'am."

Nani?

I turned my head and saw a young man in a police uniform with an upright and incorruptible face calling out to me.

"Someone has reported to me that you have engaged in highly suspicious and dangerous behavior. May I ask—"

"No need for you to worry, I'll be leaving now!"

"Hey, hey, hey!!! Wait--"

Who would wait for him! With a burst of Blood Flame, I transformed into a rocket and soared into the sky, covering hundreds of meters in just a few breaths, while that bastard Rune was still clinging to my shoulder, laughing hysterically.

Luo-chan is truly awful, sadistic, cruel, and monstrous! Releasing her would endanger society! I'll reluctantly take her in!
