"Your Majesty, are you awake?" came the gentle voice of the Gleaming Scale Serpent.

D77. The hero twisted their waist, and their fist slammed into the ground without hesitation.

D112. It was a melodious, agile purity so sweet that it made the corners of one's mouth curl up involuntarily, like bubbles rising in a specially made honey water, permeating the air with refreshing moisture.

D11. The Big Snake leapt out from the shadow, even faster than the nerve signals the Goblin Sword Fighter's feeble brain sent to its body, and landed a blow infused with all its body and spirit before the Goblin Sword Fighter could even attempt to move.

D206. Overcoming the surrounding air pressure and the suction from the eye of the wind, the heroes swiftly broke through obstructions, their attacks hitting the black Wind Barrier with the same rhythm.

D84. Thinking of this, the hero's gaze sharpened, suddenly unfurling small wings.

D36. The hero swung their arm fiercely, breaking free of the Goblin trying to bind them, and then lashed out at the Big Goblin.

Upon hearing the voices of others, the hero quickly drew their legs together, gently placing them under the bed, and put their hands on their knees, sitting up straight like a graceful swan.

Even the slight wrinkles on the nun's clothes were smoothed out by a gentle breeze in an instant.

To anyone looking, there was no rough and careless girl here, only a cleric demanding the strictest standards of themselves.

Clearly just sitting on her bed, the girl's posture was as proud and dignified as a Valkyrie on the battlefield.

'Wow, so amazing, so elegant, so beautiful.'

Another self in her mind let out a sarcastic voice, making the hero frown slightly.

It wasn't because her inner voice had hurt her, but that entire sequence of actions was purely instinctual reflex.

She hadn't even reacted, her body naturally responding in such a manner.

No one had taught her this way, and no one demanded this of her either.

Moreover, outside the door wasn't a stranger, but the Gleaming Scale Serpent familiar, who was thoroughly acquainted with her and had accompanied her since the beginning of her journey.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The hero's prolonged silence brought a voice of concern from the Gleaming Scale Serpent outside the door.

"No, I'm fine." The hero replied in a voice so gentle she herself was surprised.

"You go to the church first, I'll be right there."

Upon hearing the obedient steps of the Serpent leaving, the hero took a deep breath and stood up straight as a javelin.

She raised her hands in front of her eyes, clenched them into fists, and then released them, her gaze still carrying confusion but without unease.

—Though she didn't know the source of this emotion, no matter what, she could still fight.

"…Alright, let's go for the service."

[Hero acquires Legendary Charm Skill: Dawn Battle Maiden (Integrate Dawn, Innocence)]

Through a series of battles, the hero had already acquired the warrior's dignified temperament,

and numerous accomplishments in vanquishing evil had naturally endowed her with intimidation over malefactors.

Despite her petite figure, anyone with normal vision wouldn't underestimate this girl.

When facing dark and evil presences, combat actions gain a fixed bonus of Charm*0.5, and all damage is converted to destructive damage.

Before starting a battle, you can choose to perform an Intimidation roll D2+LV value, and if successful, Ceasefire can be applied.

When you believe your actions are justified, you can make demands of others without any pretense, gaining D2+LV value in negotiations.

♛: Heart Star+✦

The hero raised her head, looking at the object of her daily prayers.

It was an emblem composed of a heart-shaped and cross star, also the symbol of the church.

Spirit and Star.

The former represents oneself, and the latter represents ideals.

For each faction with its own great aspirations within the Church, the meaning of this emblem can be said to be quite symbolic.

If it's a large faction, there is often an emblem unique to its own chapel, placed under the heart star of the Church and offered in prayer during the service.

However, in small local chapels like this one, such arrangements are not present.

Even though it is called a service, no devout believers would come to pray with the Hero.

Although after attending the morning service, one could receive a portion of the Church's Holy Meal, in fact, the Church's meals weren't particularly good either.

Initially, due to the Hero's holy posture during prayers, indeed quite a number of young people from the village would pretend to be devout and make their way to the Church to participate in the service early in the morning.

But as the Hero's reputation in the village increased, under the dual pressure from other clerics and older villagers, young people no longer dared to approach the Hero rashly.

"Personally, I think it would be livelier with more people..."

The Hero, having finished praying, stood up and looked around the empty surroundings, revealing a wry smile.

For a Church that does not specifically worship a particular deity, what is called prayer is merely a simple reflection on one's mistakes of yesterday, a determination to do good and improve today, and then reciting some words from the Pope or the Saintess in the canon, and other such small activities.

However, after the first few days, the other priests and nuns were no longer willing to participate in the service with the Hero no matter what.

"To say that just because I'm nearby, they can't calm down, that description is too exaggerated."

The Hero shook her head and sighed.

Although her strength was certainly formidable in this small village, she was ultimately just an ordinary Professional who hadn't even completed her Third Ascension.

She looked down at her ankle, where the Ice Sealed Oath, once destroyed by powerful magic power in a previous battle, had lost its former crystal clarity.

Though it could still be deployed as Armor, with its durability further honed by battle, the Hero always felt as if it had lost something.

"The previous battle?"

The Hero was suddenly taken aback, lost in thought.

What battle had destroyed her equipment?

She intended to ponder further, but at that moment, the church's door was suddenly pushed open, and a cleric's delighted shout echoed through.

"It's from the Holy City! A letter from the Holy City has arrived. You have been chosen as a Saintess candidate!"

"——Ah?"

The Hero looked up in astonishment, utterly perplexed.
