Hush Now, Saintess! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Translator: Yonnee

Haaaaa.

I let out a long, drawn-out sigh once more.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Perhaps unable to resist against the overbearing sighs, Charon took the bait.

Truthfully, I didnt want to say this because I know it will only worry you, but

What is it?

That sacred relic is not just an ordinary one.

Huh. What else could it be? Of course, any sacred relic cant be ordinarythats why its priced at 500 million shillings. Please, you dont need to say such nonsense

Its cursed.

As he was insisting that I was just saying nonsense, the mans sarcastic tone trailed off and came to a halt.

He blinked a few times as he stared blankly at me.

Excuse me? What do you mean, cursed?

That sacred relic over there. Its the truth. Its actually cursed.

W-What kind of curse?

He pretended to stay calm, but he couldnt stop his voice from trembling.

Its a curse that would only serve to hurt whoever possesses that gemstone. It feeds on the vitality of that person, only increasing the size of the curse as time goes on.

Is that true?

Absolutely.

Youre not just trying to trick me?

Scamming a scammer so blatantly and shamelessly

Of course, thats exactly what Im doing.

Im just hitting this guy in particular on the back of the head though, and hes a conman.

Its not like Im going to do the same to any other stranger. Its just that, Charon was here in front of me, and that jewelry store owner was the one who led me here.

Just as Angel Girl N*ti would pray, Lord God, grant me permission to be a righteous swindler today as well. Stealing back whats originally been stolen should be allowed.

Narrowing my eyes, I looked at Charon with a stern gaze.

* * *

Me, trick you? I wonder.

You. Arent you feeling a little under the weather these days? Something like a small but grating headache, or an upset stomach thats preventing you from digesting well. Perhaps it also could be that you cant fall asleep as easily as you should.

At Roellas ensuing words, Charon was promptly rendered speechless.

How did you know?

Its just as she said.

Hes been suffering from indigestion these days.

As a matter of fact, hes just experiencing this because he ate too much greasy food not long ago, but Charon could not think that far back.

How did you

Charons reply made Roella grin.

How did I know? Well, headache, indigestion and insomnia are three of the most common chronic diseases among adults.

Theres a high probability that at least one of those would hit the mark.

However, she hid these thoughts of hers and smiled relaxedly.

Because I am the saintess. I see everything. And, within the last thirty years, someone close to you died, correct?

Once again, Charon was taken aback by Roellas astute supposition.

I cant say that we were close, but my grandfather passed away twelve years ago.

No wonder. I could feel a sorrowful soul hovering around.

He gasped.

You can see my grandfather?

I cant certainly say that its your grandfathers soul, but there is a restless soul hovering around because of how wronged they feel. Did your grandfather suffer a lot before he passed away?

Oh my goodness. Youre right. He died of an illness, but he suffered a lot before he passed on.

As expected.

When Roella calmly replied, Charon covered his mouth with both hands.

He completely forgot that most people suffered before they passed away.

Her Eminence the Saintess is truly different, as expected. Theres nothing she doesnt know!

This made him pause for a second though. Did this mean that what she said about the sacred relic was true? Was it actually cursed?

Reaching this conclusion, Charon quickly became distressed.

His hands were trembling so much that he couldnt control them. He asked Roella,

T-Then, what Your Eminence said about the sacred relic

Of course, it is nothing but the truth. Have I uttered any falsehoods thus far?

None at all.

See? Actually, youre in a bit of a critical situation right now.

Pardon?

The sacred relic has already taken much of your vitality away. Now that I see it, I believe that our God, Luqera, has sent me here to save you.

Instantly, Roellas words brought emotional tears to Charons eyes.

S-Saintess!

Flummoxed, Charon hurried towards her from behind the counter then immediately knelt before her.

Saintess! What must I do now?!

Ohh, dont get too close. Please kneel two steps away.

Charon followed her obediently and scuttled two steps back on his knees.

Inwardly, Roella was feeling relieved.

She was worried about the possibility that this wouldnt work, but seeing how its going so far, it seemed like there was nothing she should be worried about after all.

Now, all thats left was to drive the final wedge in.

You have an apple tree in your backyard, yes?

No, not a single one.

Charon replied, tilting his head to the side in his confusion.

For a split second, doubt flashed through his tearful eyes, but Roella was not phased a single bit.

Quite so. If you did, youd definitely be in big trouble now.
