Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose! 58

Chapter 58: Promotion is Unstoppable

Luo Yuxi had expected a difficult meeting with the bishops. Although she knew a few of them, most were strangers, and many belonged to the radical faction. However, the meeting turned out to be completely different from what she had imagined.

“Really, Ann, what’s with that outfit? You’re a bishop, not some villain!”

“Mind your own business, old hag. You’re hundreds of years old, still dressing like a loli. Unlike you, I’m still young~”

“What did you say?! Want to fight?!”

“Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you!”

The bishops were bickering and arguing, some simply sipping tea, the atmosphere more like a casual gathering than a serious meeting.

“This isn’t so bad…”

“Hey, just because I voted for you doesn’t mean I acknowledge you…”

Luo Yuxi, not being a bishop, sat on a stool she had brought, looking at the black-haired girl beside her. She had been hostile just moments ago, but now she was standing next to Luo Yuxi.

“Um, Bishop, can I ask why you’re so hostile towards me…?”

“Heh, who’s hostile? You’re not even qualified to be my opponent! Not! Qualified!”

Luo Yuxi remembered her name was Qian Yu. She suddenly became agitated, vehemently denying any hostility before turning away. Luo Yuxi still didn’t understand why she was being targeted.

“Why was she staring at my chest…?”

Qian Yu returned to her seat and angrily sipped her tea. The girl at the Seat of Tolerance wanted to comfort her, but seeing her ample bosom, Qian Yu said,

“Tsk, big-breasted, air-headed woman. One is enough, and now there’s another. Big-breasted creatures should go extinct…”

“Eh?”

Meanwhile, Luo Yuxi chatted with the other bishops. A few, mostly from the radical faction, had minor complaints, but only Ann had wanted her dead. At the end of the meeting, Lika proposed another vote, and Ann, unexpectedly switching sides, almost made Luo Yuxi a bishop.

“Then let’s conclude this little meeting. Any other proposals? I, Lika, Seat of Sacrifice, declare Luo Yuxi as a Saintess candidate…”

“Yuehua Fengyun, Seat of Mercy, agrees.”

“Lin Jian, Seat of Judgment, agrees.”

“Tsk… Qian Yu, Seat of Fortitude, also agrees…”

“I, Juliana Megistus Phyllis Maxine Clarissa Ann, Seat of Justice, agree~”

“No need for the full name at a time like this. Fine, I, the Seat of Generosity, agree.”

“S-Seat of Honesty… agrees.”

“Duo Mama, Seat of Tolerance, no objections…”

“A pure heart, an innocent soul. I don’t dislike innocent people. Vitonena, Seat of Chastity, agrees.”

“Seat of Humility, agrees.”

“As long as it benefits the Church, I never object. Seat of Loyalty, agrees.”

“Another force against the witches. Seat of Hope, agrees~”

Luo Yuxi stood up. Lika raised her left hand, a faint light merging into Luo Yuxi’s body.

“From today onwards, you are officially a Saintess candidate. So work hard to become the Saintess~”

“I still became a candidate…”

After the meeting, Luo Yuxi left the solemn conference room, feeling like everything was surreal. She had met all 12 bishops! She wondered how this would affect the plot.

“But I can’t tell which one is Yun Keke and Yu Keke’s mother. The only one who seemed like a possibility is only 18… that was almost embarrassing…”

Luo Yuxi wondered if it was a previous generation bishop. If so, the difficulty would double. She recalled the few mentions of previous bishops in the game’s plot. Even if she found them, she might not even recognize them.

“They’re probably hundreds of years old, and all high-Order powerhouses, looking like ordinary girls. How am I supposed to find them…?”

“Looking for something? Why the long face~?”

Lika’s soft voice and the faint scent of jasmine startled Luo Yuxi. Although Lika was blind, Luo Yuxi felt like she was being seen through.

“N-Nothing, I just feel like things are getting a bit complicated…”

“If things get worse, at least it’s not the worst possible outcome, right? If you’re truly struggling, you can rely on me~”

Lika sat down on the steps in front of the church, a natural and relaxed demeanor unlike the aloof protagonist from the game. Even though she had suffered misfortune, she still faced everything with a smile.

“You have such a positive attitude, as expected of a bishop…”

“Really? Because I’m a bishop? Perhaps it’s because my position is Sacrifice…”

Lika removed the cloth covering her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with long eyelashes. With her delicate features, she was a true beauty, except for her lifeless eyes.

“This is my deal with the Goddess. Every time I sacrifice one of my five senses, my power reaches First Order. Thus, I naturally became the Church’s last line of defense~”

“First Order?!”

“A realm beyond reach. Even I can only stay there for a short time. I thought after experiencing that level, I would break through…”

Lika smiled gently, recounting her past, while Luo Yuxi listened quietly.

“Having lost my sense of smell and sight, I have two fewer ways to experience the beauty of the world~”

“Is that so? That’s terrible…”

“At least I still have three, don’t I~?”
