[Volume 4]: Chapter 120 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

In the end, Sister Carrie agreed. However, she made a different deal. If one needs the church clergy to dispel demons, they need to pay a hefty reward and give an intermediary fee. This means that Count Sairon needs to pay Sister Carrie a bribe before she can report to the higher-ups. After the payment, the church acted immediately. Skipping the waiting time. After discussing it, both Count Sairon and Sister Carrie were satisfied and exchanged some pleasantries before leaving. This left Ifia to come out from her hiding place. A look of shock appeared on her lovely face! Sure enough, there are money-makers everywhere! But, is it really so urgent to have the demon plants delivered to various families in Dalwa City these days? They don't even want to wait; they just summon the demons directly. And they succeeded. However, it's a pity. It is easy to ask the gods for help, but it is hard for them to actually intervene. Now, they fear the demons' threat and turn to the church for help. Ifia felt that these families were just making trouble when they had nothing better to do. It's like throwing coins into the river and expecting a sound! Now, she doesn’t know if the demons' wishes have been fulfilled after they were summoned. Unable to contain herself, Ifia let out a few faint sighs and then continued to search for Amelia. However, after walking around the church area for a while, she couldn't find her. This forced Ifia to return home, but as soon as she arrived, she met Saint Tiffany at the door. "Good afternoon, Saint," Ifia stopped and greeted, and in return, Saint Tiffany smiled gently. However, Ifia felt that compared to when they met in the morning, the saint's complexion was a bit paler. Despite still looking incredibly pure, she seemed a bit worn out. Also, a hint of worry was visible in her slightly furrowed brows, even though her eyes under the green ribbon were not visible. Ifia could tell that Saint Tiffany had encountered some troubling matters. "Saint, have you seen Amelia?" Ifia, who could read people's expressions, naturally wouldn't ask directly, but chose to shift the focus by speaking first. Thanks to the special ritual of the saint, her current physical condition had greatly improved. Therefore, Ifia treated the saint with great respect. However, when Ifia mentioned Amelia, Saint Tiffany's expression changed slightly oddly, and then she looked in Ifia's direction with some hesitation and restraint. Previously, the saint was more than willing to reveal the true identity of Baron Amelia and to warn Ifia to be cautious. But after being detected and threatened by Ifia, the saint's mood had become complicated. Apart from being shocked and afraid of the true power of the Demon Lord, there was also the complex situation caused by Taromati's return, which couldn't be resolved despite efforts. "During midday, the King urgently summoned Baroness Miss, so she might be back a little late." Ultimately, Saint Tiffany suppressed the urge to confess and explained Amelia's whereabouts to Ifia. Upon hearing that the King had summoned her, Ifia raised her eyebrows in surprise. Then, after a moment of thought, for some reason, Ifia linked the King's summons and the summoning of demons together. Plus, the demon plants originated from the Kamis territory, and the current lord is Amelia. Was the King holding her accountable? With all these thoughts in mind, Ifia felt a surge of anger and, after entering the residence with Saint Tiffany, she didn't immediately retire to her bedroom to rest, but instead walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. Seated opposite her was Saint Tiffany. Without understanding the situation, she couldn't rest. But, she also didn't know how much Saint Tiffany already knew. "Saint, I just took a walk around the church and happened to hear that they have begun exorcising demons. I heard that some families took the risk of summoning demons and ended up in great danger because they couldn't get rid of them," Ifia decided not to beat around the bush. Directly asking was better. After all, things did happen as she heard while searching – she overheard the negotiation between Sister Carrie and the Count. After hearing Ifia mention the exorcism, Saint Tiffany nodded helplessly. She went on to explain in detail, "It's like this, starting from yesterday, the church has received many distress calls, claiming that demons have been devouring souls and taking over bodies! For this reason, the church sent priests and nuns to investigate and expel the demons." "Did they manage to drive away the demons?" Since the most powerful people from the church sat before her, Ifia quickly inquired about the outcome. But Saint Tiffany shook her head directly, "Some were successfully driven away, some were not. After summarizing, there were more failures. That's why the church has decided to send me to take action tomorrow." Saint Tiffany had thought she could have some time off. But her holiday was now over, and she had to start working. However, there was nothing she could do about it. The sudden increase in demons in Dalwa City left her no other choice. Upon hearing Saint Tiffany’s words, Ifia did not take the opportunity to mention the demon plants but instead shifted the conversation from the surge of demons in Dalwa City to Amelia. "With the sudden increase in demons, His Majesty must have summoned Amelia for this reason, right?" "Probably." Ifia didn't expect an accurate answer from Saint Tiffany. Just an acknowledgment would do. What surprised Saint Tiffany was that Ifia had guessed so accurately! Seeing Ifia worrying about Baroness Amelia and carrying an anxious expression, Saint Tiffany began to hesitate once more before cautiously saying, “Ifia, with the sudden surge of demons in Dalwa City, many people may be harmed. How about you stay here with me? The church is very safe, and you don’t have to fear the demons." In response to Saint Tiffany's kind offer, Ifia shook her head. Staying at the church might be safe, but all her friends were in Dalwa City, and Amelia had been called away by the King. Saint Tiffany was about to set off to eliminate the demons. So, Ifia didn’t want to stay alone. Also, she didn't know when Amelia would return. Therefore, she decided to leave directly from the church with the intention of returning to her villa in Priss Academy and learning more gossip from the gossip expert, Jessica Da, about the happenings in the city. Wouldn't this be more enjoyable than staying at the church? "Ifa, aren't you reconsidering this? Demons are cunning and cruel. Once you get close to them, you will be tormented and have no way out," Saint Tiffany tried again. "It's fine, it's fine. I have Amelia by my side! No need to worry," Ifia waved her hand nonchalantly, showcasing her characteristic of being indifferent to her own demise. If there is trouble, she'll just find Amelia~ (~0°)/~ Amelia can easily kill dark elves, so mere demons are nothing to worry about!!! Thinking about returning home and enjoying all sorts of juicy gossip, Ifia's spirits lifted, and she felt happy just imagining it! She had to go home. Right now, immediately!
