[Volume 4]: Chapter 119 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Ifia woke up feeling refreshed and revitalized! After opening her eyes, she looked around at the familiar scene, feeling the soft bed confirming that she was currently staying in Saint Tiffany's guest room. She didn't quite understand what had happened. She had only just completed the ceremony with Saint Tiffany and then fell into a deep slumber. However, she was in high spirits and full of energy. Glancing at the bright sky outside, Ifia couldn't be bothered to check the time with her pocket watch. Instead, she asked the system directly. [System, what time is it now?] [It's already two in the afternoon, host. Please have your meal on time.] Upon hearing the system's reminder, Ifia's stomach coincidentally let out a growl, prompting her to pat it and then quickly get up from the bed, putting on her shoes, ready to hunt for food. And to find Amelia. She was eager to share the news about her improved physical condition! (①w0) However, the Saint Tiffany's secluded house wasn't that big, and after searching all over, Ifia couldn't find Amelia. She must have gone out for something. Giving up the search, Ifia found herself in the kitchen, where she discovered a piece of bread with dried fruits. She used a knife to cut a few slices, enough to stave off hunger. [System, it's been a while since the last task was completed. Why hasn't a new task been issued yet?] Eating bread, Ifia, bored, decided to engage in a chat with the system. In the past, she had resisted the system's tasks with some pain and reluctance. But now she had evolved! Let the system come up with more challenging tasks! Hehe, after all, there had been a significant change in her relationship with Amelia. Now she no longer had to worry about jeopardizing their friendship! But while she was all set, the system remained silent and inactive. This made Ifia curious about what had happened. What was going on? As Ifia probed for answers, the system chose to remain mysteriously silent. What could possibly be happening? Did the Villain's Daughter catch wind of it and make an arrest? What could it possibly do? It was just unlucky that its host, after getting drunk, became a big blabbermouth who couldn't keep a secret. Now, it was holding off on issuing tasks, just waiting to see what the Villain's Daughter's next move would be. (Fixed) The sudden feeling of having a boss towering over its head was really irksome for the system! But the overpowering force made the system capitulate. Otherwise, the Villain's Daughter would detach it from the soul and kill it. [As mentioned before, the system tasks appear randomly. It's not the right time yet! The system isn't quite sure either, please be patient, host.] Mulling over these vexations, the system continued to sprinkle some lies. In its usual tone, it didn't give Ifia any clues, instead pondering whether it had unfairly accused the system before. Remembering the first time she saw the "Villain's Daughter's" task issued by the system, Ifia was shocked. She thought the system was a rogue. But now, it seemed the system was also being coerced! [Alright, I'll wait a bit more.] After all, Amelia would soon confess to her, and completing the task then would be a piece of cake! Feeling satisfied, after eating a few slices of bread and quelling her hunger, Ifia left the kitchen, continuing her quest to find Amelia. Since she couldn't find Amelia in the house, she decided to look outside. It was not allowed to be noisy in the church area. Hence, when Ifia stepped out of the door, she didn't call out loudly, but she looked around, trying to find Amelia. However, finding Amelia wasn't easy. Even after going around the area, Ifia hadn't found a trace of Amelia. But during her search, she had walked quite a bit and surprisingly felt incredibly energized! In the past, at this time, she would have been exhausted and out of breath. Although she hadn't walked much, her body had been too weak to support her. Now, however, it was a different story. After the special ceremony performed by the saint, Ifia felt that her body was in top shape. She felt like running ten or eight laps and burning some energy. This was also one of the reasons she had come out to find Amelia—to test her current physical endurance. The results were satisfactory. Satisfied with the information she obtained, Ifia didn't immediately return but strolled around the church area. The last time she came to church for her internship as a nun, the interns had limited areas to move around. Moreover, the internship wasn't easy, so they usually stayed in their dorms during breaks. Unlike now, she had the time to wander around. She wondered if she would run into the priests and nuns she had worked with before. "Sister Kelly, you can't turn a blind eye to this!" As Ifia strolled around, not too far away, a voice rang out. Her gossip radar immediately went off, and she discreetly sought cover, her body moving faster than her mind as she tried to conceal herself among the surrounding cover. This sort of scenario usually meant there was some juicy gossip to be had! Ifia eagerly perked up her ears. "Count Sairon, I don't understand what you're saying! If there's nothing else, please leave the church." Sister Kelly's tone remained indifferent and didn't change despite the Count's increasingly agitated mood. But Count Sairon became more and more agitated. "I told you yesterday, the people of the Sairon family have gone mad. They spent a fortune to buy a special evil plant. It can actually summon demons." "The summoned demons cannot leave and can only torment the Sairon family!" "As clergy, you must eliminate the appearing demons." At this point, Count Sairon's tone grew harsh and authoritative. Sister Kelly remained calm. "Count Sairon, the bishop has already warned us not to provoke demons lightly. They are greedy and cunning. If we encounter some powerful demons, it's very difficult to get rid of them." After pausing, Sister Kelly continued, "The demonic plant spreading from the Kamesh territory is a deadly curse!" "I know, I know! But my family doesn't believe me. They accuse me of being too cowardly. But that eerie plant is not a good thing. I saw the terrifying appearance of the demon emerging from the plant." Count Sairon's voice quivered with fear, making Ifia silently scratch her head. The evil plant they sold actually turned out to be effective! Thank goodness, she was stopped by Amelia when she was curious about the plant's effects. Otherwise, she might have been hounded by demons! "Sister Kelly, you are kind-hearted. Please save my family! If the demonic plant continues to spread, the Sis Empire will also be doomed!!!"
