Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim

Chapter 265. Noah’s musings and Horace’s excitement

After leaving the princess’s side.

Noah returned to the dilapidated temple, switching the monitoring view back to the researcher Dean.

Because Noah returned early, Dean was still asleep in the carriage on his way to the Water Capital Cathedral.

So Noah had no choice but to wait, and check on the nun’s situation.

It was about two in the afternoon, and Clotilde was still busy with ordinary nun duties in the Water Capital Cathedral.

This was to be expected, she had, in fact, basically cleared all the dungeons around the Water Capital.

Now that she had recovered to her full strength, she wouldn’t get much experience no matter how much she leveled up in this place.

In the Water Capital, ‘performing nun duties in the church to increase faith value (holy magic power boost)’ was definitely better than going outside to grind on wild monsters.

If she wanted to level up quickly without leaving the Water Capital, it was still the old way.

Leveling up by absorbing other people’s magic through her l*st mark.

But unlike the original story, now she only stole magic from Noah.

Although she had returned to her full strength.

If she continued to use the l*st mark to steal, or rather, absorb and drain other people’s magic, she could still easily level up to the maximum level of LV99.

Unfortunately, this half-demon nun was still hesitant about whether to use the l*st mark or not.

So she wouldn’t activate the l*st mark to steal magic from Noah.

Noah didn’t really care, anyway, being the original work’s character without any data, he could freely adjust his own level.

It’s easy to just adjust it back after being absorbed.

Speaking of which, the nun could now be considered a ‘slutty holy virgin’.

After all, her chastity was still intact, even if the church actually found her l*st mark, she wouldn’t be sentenced to death by burning.

But the church probably wouldn’t expect it, that a nun could actually remain pure despite committing so many sins.

Cleaning magic was originally used to clean dust and dirt from clothes stained with wounds during battle.

But the nun had recently used it all to clean her own impure parts.

Now, under the influence of the l*st mark, the nun’s already sultry body was even more so.

It must be said that the l*st mark’s enhancements in that area were truly immense, completely eliminating worries that would generally be a concern.

Noah could attest to this.

Both the nun and Noah could experience the best possible sensations.

Noah had played a little eroge game before, where the male protagonist was originally a fanatic of breasts, loving them equally whether they were huge, small, or medium.

But in a certain defeat ending, he was violated by the butt-loving princess of the neighboring empire, and eventually became a butt person who was no longer interested in breasts and only interested in the empire princess’s butt.

Noah had completely disbelieved it when he played it, thinking that it was just artistic license, how could you turn one fanatic into another fanatic like that.

But now, he had to admit that there are indeed great differences between people.

In this eroge world where even the random female NPCs had good looks, the perfect body and beauty of the female lead’s butt were truly dangerous.

Noah also had to be careful, or else, if his XP was warped by the nun, he’d probably have a hard time feeling satisfied when visiting a hostess bar in the future.

He was a chaotic, or rather, a hodgepodge omnivore, sampling every kind of play was the way to go, he couldn’t let himself get ‘corrupted/fallen’ into a butt-obsessed weirdo by the nun before the nun herself fell from grace.

“…This guy is back to his old self when the l*st markings aren’t active, completely a pure, gentle, serene beauty. As expected of the nun character in an ero-game, they’re all terrifying one way or another.”

Looking at Clotilde on the screen, back in the confessional listening to and forgiving the sins of the faithful, Noah, sipping his sighe on the dilapidated temple couch, was full of sighs.

But it was also quite a coincidence.

Because Noah was still thinking that he’d have to specifically avoid Clotilde when Researcher Dean went to the Water Capital Cathedral to find Horace later.

Now it was all good, Clotilde was busy in the confessional and wouldn’t appear in the main hall.

Sure enough, Dean who appeared in the Water Capital Cathedral thirty minutes later didn’t need to worry about anything, he went straight towards Horace who was standing on the platform at the back of the church hall.

When that old b*stard Horace saw Dean and the two ‘plainclothes church knights’ trailing behind him, he was grinning from ear to ear.

He quickly told one of his nearby subordinate priests to stand on the platform in his stead, and he went down the steps, looking very amiable as he walked towards Dean.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding faithful, the two exchanged some polite pleasantries.

Then they led the two of them into the second floor office to start their secret talks.

After arranging for another priest to guard the door for them, and confirming that there was no one eavesdropping outside the windows, the two finally got to the point.

Dean didn’t tell Horace that he had also made the ‘Saintess Armor’, he just took out the hypnotizing tool and handed it to Horace, explaining how to use it.

“oooh! With this! The nun Clotilde will become mine alone, right!”

Looking at the magical tool clearly radiating a suspicious aura, Horace, being a clergyman, not only didn’t find it repulsive but was actually captivated, repeatedly playing with it in his hand.

“That’s right, Bishop, I’m planning to stay in Water Capital for a few days, so feel free to come to me if you have any questions. If you don’t trust whether it works, you’re welcome to try it on someone other than me. After all, I could be deliberately acting to deceive you.”

Researcher Dean also acted humble, appearing to be wholeheartedly devoted to his rich patron, Horace.

But he was also thinking that if the hypnotizing tool didn’t work,

then he’d find a chance to trick Clotilde into wearing the Saintess Armor, using the opportunity to complete his experiments.

“Come now, Dean, how could I possibly doubt you? But opportunities are fleeting, I think it’s best to test it out just to be safe.”

It has to be said, those old geezers who manage to become bishops are really something, they might not trust you but they sure know how to sweet talk.

Luckily, Dean didn’t really care about Horace’s character.

To Dean, as long as someone provided research funding, he wouldn’t mind if they were a foreigner, or even a demon, who were clearly identified as enemies in the teachings.

But even he underestimated Horace’s depravity.

Because when Horace said he wanted to test if the hypnotizing device worked, it didn’t mean he was going to grab some random nun to test on later today.

He meant right now.

He wanted to test it right here in the Water Capital Cathedral, where there were still many faithful praying devoutly downstairs, and where people were confessing to Clotilde in the confessional.

Anyway, apart from Belinda and Clotilde, he had essentially taken control of all the nuns in this church.

It wouldn’t be wrong to call Horace the ‘King and Godfather’ of this cathedral.

And there were actually no problems after Horace’s test.

This powerful hypnotic tool was already at the level of a ‘forbidden item’ that you couldn’t find on the market, and even the black market had trouble getting their hands on.

It could alter a person’s common sense, and even erase their memories.

It was clearly much smaller in size compared to the ancient relic magical device used on Alan before.

But the duration wasn’t reduced by much, it was completely a demonic item.

It was even more effective than the pot-shaped magical tool that Noah and Clotilde had encountered at the Marquis’s mansion.

The nun, who was already fallen, who would get all excited and squirmy when she heard Horace was going to do bad things to her, was, under the hypnosis of Horace’s magical tool, made to forget she had already fallen.

Her memories returned to the first time Horace had threatened her, and she felt genuine disgust at the fact that the Horace she respected wanted to go against the teachings and the goddess with her.

However, even though the memories in her head had temporarily vanished, it seemed the memories in her body were still there.

She was quickly turned from a ‘proper nun’ to a ‘heretic’ by Horace once again.

On top of that, it could also modify other people’s common sense, the effects were very significant.

That old geezer Horace was extremely satisfied with the effect, his white beard almost reaching the sky.

“Nun, oh nun, it seems our grudges are coming to an end, isn’t it?”

And watching this scene, Noah couldn’t help but lean back, looking up at the broken black ceiling of the high temple and reveal a satisfied smile.

He hadn’t expected that, it seemed that rather than the princess he had met first, it would be the nun who was ending her grudges with him first.
