The girl was born in a remote place and was ruthlessly abandoned by her parents at birth.

Then, she was adopted by the church staff in the abandoned area and grew up under the education of nuns. Because of her devout faith, she awakened the special ability that resided in her at the age of eight, which was the power of healing.

Then, she was noticed by the leader of the Catholic Church and became a "Holy Maiden" revered by all people.

In fact, Asia was not stupid. She had always known that some people worshipped her as a "Holy Maiden" on the surface, but secretly viewed her as an "alien".

It was as if she was not a human of the same their species, but a "creature that can heal humans."

Despite this, Asia continued to work tirelessly to help the injured people heal their wounds, and this lasted for several years until a while ago.

She couldn't leave the injured Devil alone, so she treated him. To the "Holy Maiden", even if he was a Devil, since he was injured, he should be treated without any prejudice.

At this moment, a church member who happened to be passing by witnessed the scene of her treating the Devil.

The truth was exposed, and the "Holy Maiden" Asia was feared and despised by the Catholic Church. She was directly reduced to a "witch" and exiled from the church. She had nowhere to go and wandered in this huge city.

"...A witch."

Ryan chewed over this stigma with an indifferent expression.

"Mr. Ryan... do you also think I'm a 'witch'?"

Asia looked at Ryan with a sad expression.

"No."

Ryan shrugged and said with a smile: "I think you are really a 'Holy Maiden'. After all, whether it is a Devil or a human, being able to treat them without any prejudice, such an existence... except for a 'Holy Maiden', what else can it be called?"

"...Mr. Ryan."

There was no trace of falsehood in the eyes of the black-haired young man, which moved the blonde nun.

"Okay, let's leave the past behind. Let's talk about something else."

"Then... can I ask, Mr. Ryan, You're not from here?"

Asia thought for a moment, then started chatting with Ryan about some meaningless topics.

"That's about right."

"So, what do you do?"

"Now, I am doing a job similar to that of a 'boss', directing a group of subordinates to do things. ..."

"Wow! Mr. Ryan must be an amazing boss who is also very considerate of his employees!"

Asia's eyes sparkled as she looked at Ryan with admiration.

"'Good boss'? Haha, they don't think so."

And just like that, the two of them chatted back and forth.

Although the topics were all meaningless, Asia was still very happy. Her smile never disappeared and she would occasionally let out a sweet laugh like a silver bell.

Under the guise of a 'Holy Maiden', Asia is just an innocent teenage girl.

I want friends and I want to have fun with them.

However, she was rarely, or rather not allowed to chat with people at all, and could only bury herself in her 'work'.

Therefore, Asia cherishes this rare time very much.

But happy times are always short-lived. The two quickly finished their meal. Ryan paid the bill, and they walked out of the restaurant together.

She was reluctant to leave and wanted to say more to him.

Even so, Asia knew clearly in her heart that the two of them were just casual acquaintances.

Treating yourself to a good meal like this is a huge favor that you will never forget.

"Asia, where are you going next?"

Standing on the street, Ryan asked the blonde nun.

"....I have no idea."

Asia said with a confused look.

For an underage girl, it is not easy to survive alone.

"But I think God will not turn a blind eye to devout believers! So, there must be a way!"

Asia said, and immediately showed her positive and sunny smile again.

"That's right!"

Asia looked up at the black-haired young man and said seriously, "Since I was a child, the nun has taught me to be friendly to others and to repay kindness! Therefore, I will remember Mr. Ryan kindness for the rest of my life! But please give me some time, I will definitely repay you for this great kindness in the future!"

It was clearly just a small matter of picking up something and treating someone to a meal, but the blonde nun said she would remember it for the rest of her life.

"Asia, I don't need your return."

However, Ryan smiled and shook his head.

"…Huh?"

Ryan's refusal stunned the blonde nun.

However, what surprised her even more was yet to come.

"——I just want you."

"My...my people?"

Faced with Ryan's speech, Asia was stunned, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

"Yes."

Ryan nodded and added with a casual smile.

"Because I like you very much."

"l-like... like me?"

The blonde nun still looked confused.

However, soon, after repeating it like a parrot, she immediately understood its meaning.

For a moment, the fair little face turned red and the expression became flustered.

Although she is not very old, children nowadays generally mature early, especially Asia.

"This, this, this, this...are you confessing to me?!"

"It's a little wrong... well, your understanding is not wrong."

Ryan nodded without comment.

"——Hey hey hey!!!"

Hearing this, Asia became even more flustered.

As a "Holy Maiden", no! As a nun, it is the same, everyone must be chaste and keep pure. Therefore, contact with the opposite sex is generally avoided, or it is necessary to minimize contact.

Such an innocent and young girl was suddenly "confessed" to by someone, so she was naturally very panicked.

"Well, well, this, this, although I don't hate Mr. Ryan...but, this is really too sudden...I, I..."

Not only was she panicking, she was even incoherent.

"——Boom!"

"——Aaaaaaa!!"

Until there was a burst of lightning and thunder in the sky, Asia was frightened and subconsciously hugged the black-haired young man in front of her.

Soon, the late rain began to fall.

Seeing this, Ryan took out an umbrella from behind him like a magic trick and held it over the two people's heads.

"——Ah, yes, I'm sorry! Mr. Ryan!"

Asia came to her senses, blushing and quickly loosening her arms that were tightly hugging the young man.

"fine."

Ryan shrugged disapprovingly and asked the blonde nun with a smile.

"So, what does Asia think?"

"I, I…"

Asia looked up at the black-haired young man in front of her in confusion.

His gentle, approachable temperament and warm smile make people feel good about him unconsciously.

Add to that the two "favors", it would be a lie for the young girl who is just beginning to fall in love to say that she has no feelings for him.

But, but——

Asia, with her thoughts in disarray, shook her head and replied softly: "Mr. Ryan, I... don't know."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. You will find out slowly in the future."
