Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose! 45

Chapter 45: Apal, the Holy City

With a rumbling sound, Luo Yuxi woke up and looked out the window, stunned by the sight before her. Just like in the game, the city built among mountains had been transformed into a fertile basin by the Goddess’s three divine pronouncements. This was Apal, the most powerful city of the Church.

“It’s completely different from the game, much more prosperous. Well, it was just a background in the game, it can’t compare to seeing it in person…”

[Respected passengers, the magic train has arrived at the Holy City of Apal. Please gather your belongings and disembark in an orderly fashion.]

The announcement snapped Luo Yuxi back to reality. She marveled at the advanced technology, stroking the leather seat beneath her, then nudged the two lolis sitting opposite her.

“Alright, wake up, we’re here. Don’t you want to find your mother?”

Yun Keke woke up first, looking around in confusion, then stretched and stood up. Yu Keke was still sleepy-eyed. It couldn’t be helped, even Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected to experience the feeling of a long-distance train ride in another world.

“Mmm… are we there yet? I feel like I slept for a long time…”

“Roar! I feel so energized! Let’s have a brawl~”

As Luo Yuxi led the two off the train, she saw a nun holding a sign with her name on it. Luo Yuxi thought, That’s pretty straightforward, considering I brought two witches with me.

“Um… I’m Luo Yuxi, you must be looking for me…”

The nun looked at Luo Yuxi and the two lolis behind her and immediately realized who they were. She lowered the sign.

“We’ve been waiting for you, Lady Luo Yuxi. I’m the Inspector Nun in charge of receiving you. My name is Qi Yuejiu…”

“Lady? Ah, are you talking to me?”

Luo Yuxi realized that the nun’s outfit was different from hers. She wore a black habit and an Inspector Nun badge. Luo Yuxi was confused. As a Direct Nun, she was at most an equal in rank. Inspector Nuns were like internal affairs officers, a higher rank. Why was she being called “Lady”?

“Lady Luo Yuxi, we’ve heard about your deeds. Repelling the Lust Witch in a battle between Second Order powerhouses, protecting the trainee nun who went to rescue you during the witch battle, and…”

“Wait, wait!! I understand what you’re saying, but why does it sound so exaggerated coming from you?!”

“Lady, don’t be so modest. As a Direct Nun from the border, you have such impressive achievements. You’ve become a role model for us nuns~!”

“Ah, no, I’m not, don’t say that!”

Luo Yuxi looked at the starry-eyed Qi Yuejiu, wondering how she deserved such admiration. Yun Keke, hearing this, smirked, a mischievous idea forming in her mind.

“Big sister is even more amazing than that. Facing dozens of Second Order witches, she fought effortlessly~”

“What! She can handle dozens of Second Order witches at once?!”

Luo Yuxi reacted instantly, pulling Yun Keke into a hug and burying her face in Yun Keke’s chest. Yun Keke, caught off guard, inhaled the peach fragrance. Faced with this attack, which had almost defeated Ling Shuang, she understood Luo Yuxi’s true power.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense, how could I be that strong? If I were, I would have been chosen as a Saintess. And fighting dozens of Second Order witches? That’s obviously fake~”

“Oh, right. But your other achievements must be true, right? Don’t worry, we’ll spread the word~!”

“No! That’s not what I meant! Are you even listening to me?!”

“Lady, please follow me. Apal is a vast city, it’s easy to get lost without a guide…”

Qi Yuejiu’s starry-eyed expression turned serious. Luo Yuxi sighed, thinking she would explain later. Everything was too exaggerated.

“Alright, let’s go. We’ll find your mother after we settle down~”

Luo Yuxi turned and patted Yu Keke’s head. Yu Keke leaned into her touch, seemingly enjoying it. Then, she pointed at Yun Keke, who was still in Luo Yuxi’s arms.

“Big sister, Little Yun seems to have fainted…”

“Huh?!”

Luo Yuxi quickly released Yun Keke, who was lying peacefully in her arms, as if without a care in the world.

“So big… so white… so much southern hemisphere…”

“Wake up! Wake up, Little Yun!”

“I see my other mother waving at me from heaven…”

After some effort, Yun Keke finally came to, but the stimulation from those two massive weapons was too much. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected her attack to be so effective. I shouldn’t use that move unless absolutely necessary. Yun Keke looked at Luo Yuxi in shock.

“Big sister’s are so big… not even on the same level…”

After the small incident, the three followed Qi Yuejiu. Looking at the giant Goddess statue in the city center, bathed in holy light, as if alive, Luo Yuxi thought, It’s even more magnificent than the one in my church.

“This statue was sculpted in the image of the Goddess when she descended and delivered her pronouncements. It’s an important landmark of Apal…”

Qi Yuejiu patiently explained the sights to the curious trio, enjoying her role as a tour guide. Luo Yuxi thought, This is better than any vacation. The city was beautiful and bustling, a sight she had never seen before.

“Living in Apal must be wonderful~”

“Really? I haven’t noticed. It’s just less boring than my hometown…”

Qi Yuejiu looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected the Inspector Nun from the game to be so friendly. In the game, she would punish the protagonist for even the smallest mistakes.

“It seems the game’s events are being fleshed out…”

Luo Yuxi was thinking about how to bypass the guards and find the protagonist, or how to confront the bishops and ask about Yun Keke and Yu Keke’s mother.

“You must be Luo Yuxi…”

“Hmm?”

A figure suddenly appeared before Luo Yuxi, blocking her path. Qi Yuejiu bowed respectfully. Luo Yuxi, seeing the girl’s white clothes with gold trim, instantly understood. Another bishop.

“One of the 12 bishops, the Seat of Honesty. Allow me to accompany you on your journey~”
