In her past life, Bella was a person who couldn’t keep any secrets. As she thought about her worries, she decided to confide in Angel about them. After all, she was the first friend that Bella had made in this new world.
“Sister, don’t worry about it, you’re nowhere near as scary as she is and I don’t consider you an enemy”
“She?”
“The little Sister that hangs around the St. Emilia Church; she’s the other existence that I sensed when I arrived here. The aura around her is too evil, I’m scared to approach her. ”
Bella didn’t think that there were any other existences that she had not known about living in this wasteland. Apparently, when Angel had arrived on this continent and was scared of bothering Bella, she had wandered around the rest of the continent.
She had discovered a grand church behind a forest, along with another girl. Angel was frightened by the dark aura that the girl exuded and ran off before finding out the difference in power between them.
Bella had originally wanted to go see what the adventurers were doing on the beach, but changed her plans after hearing Angel’s words. Bella decided to pay a visit to this other girl, who was probably another final boss like her; it probably wouldn’t hurt to have good relations with those on the same team.
Bella and Angel looked around Bella’s castle for something to bring as a greeting gift. After all, she shouldn’t greet a fellow final boss empty-handed.
After they scoured the castle for a while, they discovered nothing of value. Bella silently cursed Frederic XIX for not keeping all the wealth he had extorted from his people within his castle, causing her to be unable to procure anything for a gift.
Without any choice, Bella and Angel could only leave empty-handed, and hope that they could find something that was presentable as a gift on the way to the grand church. Of course, they didn’t find anything but the many bones that littered the continent.
Finally, the two of them uneasily arrived at St. Emilia Church empty-handed. The church was much larger than the one Bella had taken Angel to for their discussion yesterday. Although it was also in a rather poor condition due to millennia of not being used, one could still see the remnants of the former glory that the building had once held.
From afar they could see a little loli sitting on the stone bench outside of the church, seemingly reading from a rather large and dusty book.
Another loli? Is this the land of abundant lolis?
Bella held onto Angel’s hand that was shaking slightly from nervousness and walked towards the loli.
This loli was just a bit taller than Angel, which was probably why Angel had called her Sister. She wore what looked to be a shrine maiden outfit, except that the colour of the attire was completely black. Her silvery white hair hung to her shoulders and she was currently clutching the thick book with her petite hands.
When they got closer, Bella could physically feel the pressure that the loli was giving off. She couldn’t describe what it was, but she felt like it was slightly harder to breathe, as if there was something weighing down on her. As they were not able to find any gifts, they had no idea how to initiate conversation with the mysterious loli.
Lydia Mia secretly observed the two existences that had shown up; she had noticed them as soon as they had entered the vicinity of the church. She had been scared of them coming to look for trouble as both of them were at least on par with her own power so there was no way she could beat them 1 on 2.
If it came to that, she would have to flee. To feign confidence, she remained there reading her book; she kept flipping through the pages in order to not give away the fact that her hands were shaking.
“Sister? you’ve been looking at the same pages for quite a while now!” Angel asked innocently, finally breaking the tense atmosphere. Bella and Mia both quietly let out a breath that they had been holding.
“Come inside and sit for a while, the atmosphere outside isn’t suitable for discussion.” Mia left her book on the bench then turned around to walk into the church.
Bella discovered that as soon as the loli had started speaking, the pressure had immediately disappeared. Was it just an illusion? This loli’s beauty wasn’t any less than Angel’s, Angel gave off a cute and naive feeling while this loli gave off a calm and steady one. Bella concluded that two of them probably had a big difference in personality.
What caught Bella’s attention the most was that apart from the pretty left eye that had a pink iris, the loli’s right eye was covered by a black eyepatch decorated with a beautiful white flower that looked like a lily from Bella’s previous world. The loli’s actions didn’t seem like she was sick with a case of Eighth Grade syndrome so why was she wearing an eyepatch? Bella wondered as she followed her into the church.
The layout of this church wasn’t any different from the one near the cemetery, the location where the statue of god would have been had also been destroyed.
Bella wondered what unfortunate god had been worshipped in this church. The three of them found a bench to sit down together. As Angel was scared of the newcomer, she sat on Bella’s left while the loli sat on Bella’s right. If anyone had walked in on them without knowing the situation, it would have looked to them as if an older sister had brought her two younger sisters to church for service.
“Mia, you can create supernatural items?”
“Yes Sister, It’s my specialty.”
“Wait…why are you calling me Sister too?”
“Angel can call you Sister, can’t I?”
Bella looked at Mia in surprise, she had thought that this loli wasn’t good at holding conversation, but when she opened her mouth the words did not stop pouring out; Bella was sure that if they had given the loli a cup of water to quench her thirst, she would have been able to make Bella and Angel question humanity.
Through their discussions, Bella learned about the loli. Her name was Lydia Mia, unknown identity, came to this continent six thousand years ago along with Angel and Bella. She had accumulated an intensely evil aura as she spent her time researching different types of evil rituals and magic, the nearby monsters had thought her an evil god and avoided her. Apart from the time where Angel wandered around the church for a while five thousand years ago, no one had paid her a visit since.
After the three of them was more familiar with each other, Bella started to plan for the future.
From what they knew so far, the three of them were almost definitely villainous final bosses; if they were to stay here in this wasteland they would eventually have to face against heroes who would surely come to challenge them after people got hold of their identities.
