Chapter 86
86: You Should Just Go Die!
Our Miss Jasmine suddenly realized a problem.
That was that most of the door locks in the cathedral were actually hollow decorations. What was truly used to lock the doors were the bolts behind them.
So... Miss Amya, what exactly are you looking at!!??
"Um, Miss Amya, I think you should restrain yourself for now... If Miss Evelia finds out about this kind of thing..."
"Hmm? What thing~ I'm just waiting for Evelia to finish changing. During this time, no one said I can't bring my gaze close to the keyhole~"
"...As long as you're happy, Miss Amya..."
Saying this, Jasmine silently took two more steps backward, looking at Amya with reverent fear.
The behavioral logic of angels was truly not something humans could comprehend.
"Hmm~ Ohhh... Nice!!!"
Amya peeped through the keyhole without any psychological burden. But suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and she muttered to herself in confusion: "Huh? That's strange, where did Evelia go?"
"Um... Miss Jasmine... how do I wear this nun habit?"
Just then, the rest room door cracked open a small slit. Evelia's slightly blushing face peeked out from within. From the large expanse of soft, pale skin visible below her neck, it wasn't hard to judge that at this moment, Evelia was probably in the awkward state of having just finished undressing to change, only to discover she didn't know how to put on a nun habit.
But of course, the most awkward one right now wasn't her. It should be Amya, crouching in front of the keyhole with her smile completely frozen.
"Hmm? Amya? What are you looking at?"
Looking at the motionless Amya, a bad premonition suddenly rose in Evelia's heart. She tentatively crouched down and looked through the keyhole behind the door lock. Then, her line of sight and Amya's line of sight perfectly converged.
Then, Evelia's pupils became hollow at a visible rate.
"What... are... you... doing?"
"Um... admiring art? Ehe☆?"
Facing Evelia's extremely gloomy gaze, Amya laughed somewhat awkwardly and deliberately tilted her head in a cute manner.
"Oh? Admiring art? Then... is it nice?"
"It's pretty nice~ except the chest is a bit too flat. Evelia is a girl, so having a little something would be better~"
"...Heh."
Evelia revealed a fake smile. She opened the door a tiny bit more, then raised her pink, tender little fist high while Amya wore a guilty expression.
"Go die!!!"
"Waaaaaaaaah!!!"
"..."
Jasmine silently turned her back and said nothing more.
……
"Mm, alright, that's it done~ How is it, Miss Evelia? Does the outfit fit fairly well?"
Inside the rest room, Jasmine looked with satisfaction at Evelia, who was now wearing a black and white nun habit before her. At this moment, our Miss Demon had a completely different style from before. A black and white lace-trimmed headscarf was worn on the girl's head, simultaneously concealing the pair of tiny black demon wings atop Evelia's head. The loose nun habit fell all the way to her ankles, giving off the impression of a graceful young lady. Unlike other nun habits, this one Evelia wore didn't have a belt. Instead, a pure white cloth sash was tied around her waist, forming a super large bow behind her. This made Evelia, who already leaned toward cuteness, appear even more innocent and lovely.
"Hmm... it's alright~ not too big, not too small, just right~"
Evelia tried lifting her skirt and twirling around twice. The robe clinging to her body felt unexpectedly comfortable. As expected of the Church, even the most ordinary nun habits didn't seem to use ordinary fabric.
"By the way, there's also this. Come~ put it on~"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Jasmine smilingly removed the silver cross necklace from her own neck and placed it around Evelia's neck instead.
"Mm! That feeling is just right!"
Jasmine stood back a little and nodded with satisfaction as she looked at this "Demon Nun" before her, who had such a unique charm.
"Sigh, my Evelia really looks good in anything~"
At the same time, Amya, who had a large bump on her head, also expressed appreciation for Evelia's current attire. But all she received was a glance from Evelia that was cold mixed with hints of shame and indignation.
"Ahem, but speaking of which, I remember Miss Jasmine, you said you called us here because you had two things to ask of us, right? Since one of them was having Evelia join the Church to help you root out the traitor, what about the other?"
Upon hearing Amya's words, Jasmine's expression, which had been wearing a gentle smile, instantly changed. She looked as if she had thought of something sorrowful. Her face was filled with conflict and sadness.
"Sigh... to be honest, this matter... is a small personal request of mine. It has nothing to do with the Church."
"A personal request? Tell me about it. I'll do my best to provide help to Miss Jasmine~"
Evelia's interest was also piqued. As a demon whose dream was to become an ally of justice, she had always been a model of helpfulness. Otherwise, the urban legend of [The Justice-Executing Demon Girl] based on her wouldn't have such high popularity in Wangyou City, even being called the foremost of Wangyou City's top ten urban legends.
"...Actually, I have a younger biological sister."
"A sister?"
The moment she heard Jasmine say she had a sister, Evelia's interest instantly grew even stronger. Before becoming a demon, she had been an older brother after all. When it came to treating her sister, if not exactly doting, she was at least at the late-stage sister-complex level.
She just wondered how that sister from her past life was doing now. Probably still just as well-behaved and cute as before, right? In the year since returning to the human world, she hadn't really had a chance to go back and look. After helping Miss Jasmine root out those Descent Faction parasites this time, she would take the opportunity to sneak a peek~
Amya, who was standing nearby: "Achoo!"
"Mm, my sister, like me, is also a Church nun. Even before I officially became the Church Saint, she was a Saint substitute who similarly had the qualifications to become a Saint. It's just that later... we had a small conflict between us... and she... went missing..."
When mentioning her sister's matter, Jasmine's eyes were filled with worry and self-blame. As a former older brother, Evelia could tell at a glance that this Miss Saint was definitely also at the late-stage sister-complex level... no, scratch that, she was definitely a sister who deeply loved her younger sibling.
"So... Miss Jasmine wants... us to help you find your sister?"
"Exactly! That child Lina has been missing for two or three years now! Not just me, but also His Holiness the Pope, and several other Cardinals are all very worried about her... That child, although she has deep accomplishments in God-given Magic, she was raised within the Church just like me. She basically hasn't had much contact with the outside world... I'm really worried... with her being like that... will she go hungry, be deceived by people, or even..."
