124. Reliable in a Pinch
“I’ll change back right away…”
Reina said, steadying her breath.
She suddenly remembered that this person probably wasn’t at the anti-ritual construction site and wouldn’t have heard Calysia’s words. But then again, didn’t someone tell her that they shouldn’t be disturbed?
What made her even more embarrassed was that Pesa, thinking no one was there, then…
“Hello, is anyone here?”
—She pushed the door open and came in!
For Pesa to see the Goddess of Light sitting on Calysia’s lap, panting shyly… this kind of thing must absolutely not happen!
Agnes was the quickest to react.
She released Reina’s horns, spun the chair to the side next to Calysia, and pretended to be assisting her. Her movements were smooth and fluid, and her expression even changed from a flushed, intoxicated look to one of serious concentration.
She lowered her head and picked up a pen, as if writing something. Then, she pretended to have a sudden inspiration and wrote something on the paper, naturally and skillfully, like a seasoned actress…
Before Reina could praise Agnes, she was almost angered to death by Calysia.
The hands holding Reina’s waist and neck tightened.
Then, she controlled the chair to turn around and face Pesa, giving her a seductive smile, calm and composed, as if showing off her spoils of war!
I’ve become a spoil of war?
You see, Pesa was the hero of humanity. Reina clearly remembered that this little girl, after hearing the Pope’s speech, had looked at her with eyes that practically worshipped her as a supreme god!
And now, your supreme god is being turned into a dragon by the Dragon King!
Reina instantly regretted it.
—Calysia had completely misunderstood “transforming into the Goddess of Light” as “transforming back into Dragon Queen Reina”!
…There was still a chance to be saved!
Reina’s mind raced.
Now, as long as she retracted her dragon features, pretended to be indifferent, and broke free from the Dragon King’s embrace, she wouldn’t look so intimate. At least, it would make people think there was an emotional barrier… and she could avoid the embarrassing situation.
The first half was successful.
Reina’s tail and horns all disappeared, and she reverted to the appearance of the Goddess of Light.
But Reina had just been infused with magic power and hadn’t recovered from her strange state yet. She was still muttering, “Master…”
“Master?”
Finally, the little hero Pesa showed a surprising reaction for the first time.
She pushed open the door and saw the Goddess of Light being held by Calysia, sitting on her lap!
“G… Goddess, Dragon King, you… what are you doing!”
Pesa’s small eyes were filled with great confusion.
But more than that, it was disbelief.
And Agnes’s reaction was completely different… She wasn’t some goddess x dragon king enthusiast.
A normal person seeing this scene would have Pesa’s reaction, right?
But Reina wished Pesa was also abnormal.
“Mmph…”
She wanted to break free, but that place accidentally touched Calysia’s thigh, and her whole body instantly went limp, collapsing into Calysia’s arms.
“The President’s assistant is helping the Goddess check her body.”
At the critical moment, Agnes came to the rescue, like a hero in a cloak.
She explained seriously to Pesa, “The Goddess was seriously injured in a recent battle with evil and hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
Reina gave Agnes a thousand thumbs-up in her heart.
That’s right!
This could even, by a strange coincidence, explain how her eyes were injured! And it would also cast a veil over the cause and effect!
“Oh, right, I’m helping the Goddess check her body~” Calysia smiled.
—Why does it sound so different when you say it?!
Only then was Reina released from Calysia’s body. She pretended to be calm and sat on a chair to the side, but after being touched there, especially by her master’s body, she couldn’t calm down for a long time, and the blush on her face hadn’t completely faded… She could only squeeze her thighs together and pretend nothing had happened.
“Checking her body…”
Pesa was half-convinced.
It seemed that not everyone was as pure as Agnes.
But Reina quickly dismissed this thought…
“If the corruption is deep, it does seem to be like this… I’m sorry, I was being rude just now, Goddess…”
“I don’t mind… but in the church, is there also corruption?”
Reina caught Pesa’s words.
“Yes!”
Pesa’s expression was excited. She closed the door and walked up to the three of them.
“I saw with my own eyes the priestesses of the Golden Sunlit cleaning each other’s corruption!”
Reina was speechless.
Silly child, that probably wasn’t cleaning corruption! It was a strange relationship actually happening!
Thinking of the current situation of the priests, she wasn’t surprised at all.
Ann’s vassals seemed to have inherited her characteristics… The succubi only targeted women.
Then, the succubus transformation spread like a virus among the priests.
Pesa didn’t forget her etiquette. She stood before the Saintess and bowed slightly, showing respect, then looked at the Dragon King, her eyes filled with clear fear.
“Are you injured…”
Pesa seemed to have noticed something and lowered her head: “Goddess, the Pope said your power hasn’t fully recovered. It seems to be true…”
“It will still take some time,” Reina explained.
“It doesn’t matter. I, the hero Pesa, will definitely protect the Goddess of Light!”
Pesa said, blushing, which reminded Reina of a little girl she had seen whose dream was to be an astronaut, and who had said similar things in front of her grandmother.
“What are you here for?” Calysia asked.
Her voice seemed to be her usual emotionless tone, but Reina could tell that she was somewhat repulsed and impatient, as if someone had disturbed her good mood.
“Actually…”
“I’m here to apply for… participation in the ruins exploration.”
“Ruins?”
Calysia immediately started acting… It seemed this dummy wasn’t that stupid.
The matter had to be traced back to yesterday.
After the speech, the Pope had found Agnes and Reina alone.
She told Reina that she had discovered the whereabouts of the Shadow of God… or rather, a place that was so important that it had to be related to the Shadow of God.
And to ensure the secrecy of the plan, that person, the Pope, decided to act before the God Slaying Society. He organized a group, including Reina and Agnes, and planned to explore the ruins first.
And so, the current scene.
Logically, Calysia didn’t know about the ruins. If she did, the Pope would confirm that someone had colluded with the Dragon King.
Unfortunately, the Pope didn’t know that the Goddess of Light was the Dragon Queen.
Reina had naturally told Calysia everything.
And facing Pesa’s possible “probing,” Calysia didn’t expose anything.
…She was quite smart.
“Ruins?”
Her alert expression and the killing intent she released almost made Reina believe her.
Had she really been foolish enough to forget this matter?
No…
Although her master was a dummy, she was very reliable at critical moments.
