Under the night sky, a helicopter flew over the sealed city. The person on the plane, unable to wait for it to land, leaped directly, turning into a streak of light under the night, arriving in the city.
Because of the “contract”, Suthia could locate Renji’s general direction, but as for his exact location, she still needed to…
‘Huh?’
Suthia suddenly paused, sensing that just now, Renji had used her holy light ability. This instantly helped her lock onto the direction – the city hall.
But just as she was about to move, the sensation of the holy light began appearing one after another. The urgent frequency suggested that her lord might have encountered something extremely troublesome, forcing the frantic use of holy light.
This made Suthia, who had originally intended to “interrogate” but had regressed to “hunting,” immediately become anxious and worried. Compared to her master’s safety, her original purpose seemed trivial and was immediately forgotten.
Transforming into a beam of holy light, Suthia rushed towards the city hall. As she anxiously reached Renji’s room door, before the nun could break in, the sounds coming from the room made Suthia stop in her tracks.
Because…
“Ah, Master…”
“Nova is already… unable to…”
“Master, don’t do this, stop! Ahhh!”
Listening to the familiar voice coming from the room – if not the dragoness, who else – Suthia’s initially bright eyes gradually darkened.
She thought of how she had just worried about her Lord and was planning to clear things up with Nova, but then…
What delivered the final blow to Suthia, making her unable to continue listening outside the door, was…
“I don’t want Thia… to find out.” Nova’s intermittent voice came through the door to the nun’s ears.
In an instant, Suthia clenched her fists, her nun’s robe beginning to transform into a black dress, and the giant black scythe in her hand slowly materializing.
“Hehehe~”
‘It seemed that tonight was still destined for a “hunt.”‘
Transformed, the black scythe swung, and with a “boom,” Renji’s door was pierced through, leaving a huge hole. The nun, exuding murderous aura, stepped through the smoke in her thorny high heels, transformed from her holy boots, into Renji’s room.
Next, Suthia turned her gaze to where she intended to unleash her fury.
“Eh… Eh?!”
Witnessing the scene in the room, Suthia was momentarily stunned.
She saw that Nova was indeed alone with her Lord in the room, lying on the bed. However, Nova looked weak and was wrapped in blankets, only her head exposed with a damp towel tied around it, as if she had a high fever. After Suthia broke into the room, Nova, seemingly disoriented and confused by the fever, looked at her with a dazed expression.
As for Renji beside Nova’s bed, he also in a bad condition, seemingly drained. There was a basin of water at his feet, which he was using to change Nova’s towels while continuously releasing holy light to help heal her. On Suthia’s sudden appearance, he too turned around with a surprised expression.
The scene inside the room bore no resemblance to the adulterous scenario Suthia had imagined outside.
“This… this…” .𝒎
Suthia was bewildered, and then Nova, seemingly delirious on the bed, gave her another shock.
“My Lord… no, don’t trouble Thia, Nova can… can endure it.”
“Don’t use holy light, don’t let Thia find out… Thia is still cleaning the tainted miasma in the Confession Room… How can you disturb Thia with such a matter, Thia, I am fine, you can go… go back.” .
Nova, as if delirious from the fever, uttered nonsensical words, causing Suthia’s black dress and scythe to no longer sustain, disappearing as her normal nun’s habit returned.
“My Lord, what is this? What’s happened to Nova now!!”
Seeing Suthia’s entire attention diverted, Renji sighed while explaining to the nun about Nova’s critical condition due to the ritual.
Although he embellished the story quite a bit, Nova’s sudden drop in strength and loss of power were real, which Suthia could sense. Nova’s aura was much weaker than usual, so she didn’t doubt anything.
“My Lord, why didn’t you tell me about this sooner!”
“Because, as you heard from Nova just now, she…”
“Nova is being foolish, how can you be as well!” Suthia, quite unusually, lost her temper with Renji.
It was evident that Nova’s current state had genuinely frightened the nun. For healing, the earlier the treatment, the more precious the time!
Renji, admitting his mistake, then feigned realization and asked in confusion, “But Thia, I just used the divine healing, how did you… come so quickly?”
“Now is not the time for that, My Lord!” Suthia replied, unable to explain herself. Seeing Nova’s condition, she instead started to feel guilty. She then focused all her energy on healing Her sister, repairing the damage Nova had suffered during the ritual due to the division of her power.
After about half an hour, Suthia wiped the sweat from her forehead. Looking at Nova on the bed, who now seemed to be asleep and whose complexion had improved significantly, the nun touched Nova’s cheek to ensure her fever had subsided before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
“How is she now, Thia!”
“I’ve thoroughly checked over Sister Nova’s body, and there should be no major issues. However, she will still need ongoing treatment. It won’t take as long now, just about fifteen minutes a day, and in about half a month, Sister Nova should fully recover and be back to her normal self.”
“That’s great! Whew, now I can relax.”
Renji was genuinely relieved. Although the high fever and Nova’s weakness, along with the water basin and cold towel, were props he specifically used to create a sense of urgency to divert Suthia’s attention, the aftereffects of the ritual on Nova were indeed a concern for Renji. Now, due to a fortunate turn of events, Suthia’s timely arrival and professional assurance allowed Renji to finally be at ease.
He even briefly entertained the thought, ‘Could this also be part of that pink-haired succubus’s plan?’But Renji quickly dismissed the idea.
After all, the mere thought of those images made Renji grit his teeth in anger.
However, he decided to deal with the pink-haired succubus’s account later, as the current crisis was not yet completely resolved.
“Thia, I owe you big one! If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what I would have done. You must be tired, come, sit here!”
Renji gratefully pulled Suthia by the hand to sit beside Nova’s bed.
Sitting down next to the bed, the nun shook her head, “No, My Lord, this is my duty, and it’s the only way I can help everyone.”
” Thia don’t say that. In fact, not just today, there’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long time.”
Renji shifted his position, getting closer to the nun. As he neared, the nun beside Nova’s bed began to panic, her heart beating rapidly.
But soon, Renji caught the nun’s hand that was trying to escape and pulled it to his chest, looking sincerely into Suthia’s eyes and saying word by word:
“Thia, it’s so good to have you.”
“I… I.”
Actually, after treating Nova, Suthia had intended to return to her original plan of “interrogating” Renji. But now, caught off guard by Renji’s initiative and hearing such sincere praise from her Lord, it was like Suthia had tasted honey. Her heart filled with sweetness, and thoughts of “interrogation” vanished completely.
‘High offense, low defense – that’s how it was.’
Renji, who believed he had completely figured out the nun and could manipulate Suthia at will, immediately seized the opportunity to press his advantage. He had already moved shoulder-to-shoulder with the nun. The hand that had pulled Suthia to the bed had never let go, and now Renji began to use it to tickle the palm of Suthia’s hand.
Thia’s hand was fragrant and soft to the touch.
In no time at all, Suthia was tickled pink by Renji’s actions. Seeing Renji so close, she became even more flustered and nervous, especially since they were sitting on Nova’s bed, with her sister sleeping right beside them!
“Speaking of which, this is the first time I’ve seen Thia’s real body in reality,” Renji whispered into the nun’s ear, his warm breath hitting her already flushed earlobe.
“Lord Ashen, no… we can’t, Sister Nova is still here.”
“Nova is already asleep,” Renji murmured with a seductive tone as if he were a tempting devil.
“But we still… shouldn’t,” the nun persisted.
“Just a kiss, just one, as a reward for my girl’s hard work.”
“Then, then mmm…”
Not giving Suthia any more chance to resist, Renji kissed her. He had analyzed that the reason for the nun’s dark transformation was simply because Nova had something she did not.
So, why not just let Thia have it too? In terms of distributing CG moments equally, Renji had always been committed, hence the plan he and Nova had concocted to give Thia her own “moment of crime.” This way, after everything was said and done, the nun would have no reason to conflict with Nova anymore.
They were all family, after all. A little fun and games among them wasn’t against the law, right?
‘Sometimes my genius scares me!’
Renji thought his extensive experience with harem-style (galgames) hadn’t been in vain. A battlefield of love? Ha! There’s no love triangle that can’t be resolved, only protagonists who don’t know how to manage their wives!
Renji was very serious about this crucial kiss tonight.
Fortunately, he was no longer the same as before. Since developing his relationship with Nova, Renji’s skills had grown immensely in all aspects, a tremendous leap forward. With the experience and skills gained from Nova, he was no longer the otaku with only galgame experience and no real-world practice.
After several minutes of deep kissing, seeing the softened nun in his arms, Renji felt quite smug.
‘Just like that?’
“How was it, Thia?”
“My Lord, you’re amazing.”
“I know.”
“But Thia has a question.”
“Hmm Hmm, Go ahead.”
Renji suddenly felt the nun in his arms stiffen, and her tone began to sound ominous.
When Renji came to his senses, Suthia had already moved close to his face, tilting her head and staring at him with those empty eyes, asking:
“Thia wants to know, why are you so skilled? Thia clearly remembers that back in the Holy Kingdom, you didn’t even know how to kiss, and Thia had to guide you.”
“So how, how are you so good now?”
“So…”
“My Lord, how many times have you…. have you done this with Sister Nova?”

Note: “Galgame” is a term commonly used, especially in Japan, to refer to a genre of video games that are also known as “dating simulation games” or “romantic simulation games.” The word “galgame” is derived from “gal” (a slang term for “girl” in Japanese) and “game.”
