The Extra's Indifference

After Aria killed the criminals, we entered an abandoned house and removed our clothes.

I was relatively clean other than my hand and legs but Aria looked like she bathed with blood.

So, I thought that it would be bad if we entered the church like this. Covered by blood and flesh pieces was too much even for heresy inquisitors, who have a reputation for being brutal.

Anyway, after removing our clothes I tied Aria's eyes with a cloth before she was aroused by my beauty and made a bathtub with my ice magic.

I put Aria inside the bathtub and took out a bottle from my storage artifact.

This bottle was an artifact that creates water for a certain amount of time with mana. Thus this artifact is usually used for washing things, and not for drinking because water that is created by magic would disperse after some time. So drinking it would be useless in the long run.

Anyway, I poured some mana into the bottle and let the water fall on Aria's head. After that, I took out a soap and began to wash Aria thoroughly.

Why I was washing her myself?

Well, why can't I wash her myself? Aria was my pet and it was my duty as the owner of her to wash her even if she was bathed in blood.

Thus I washed every crook of her body without passing an inch. I didn't do anything indecent as I didn't want to mess around with her in this place.

I didn't think too much when I came to the slums of the capital. I thought that it would be like Ceurie city's slums where the average thug was 3rd crystal while the highest was 5th crystal but according to the criminal that I killed, there were slum lords in the slums of this capital and the weakest member was 6th circle mage.

Which was impossible for me to defeat w 6th circle mage as long as he has some experience in fighting.

Hence I concluded that this place was highly dangerous for me to play around with Aria, hence i quickly washed and wiped her with a towel.

After that, me and Aria wore our inquisitor uniform and I took the cloth from Aria's eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. We shouldn't play around in this place." I said and flicked her forehead after I saw her desire filled eyes.

Aria nodded her head shyly and slapped both of her cheeks at the same time to calm her raging hormones.

"Let's go then."

***

We arrived at the church of Ilelia and I saw a priestess with blonde hair and deep blue eyes, was waiting for something at the gates of the church with an impatient look.

"Hello there, Indra. What are you waiting for?" I asked with a slightly cold smile.

She was giving me an impatient look while I was technically superior to her in the hierarchy of chur. I was the chosen saint of Ilelia while she was just a bishop.

Yes, a bishop is a very high position but it wasn't comparable to a saint.

So I decided to use a cold approach towards this woman who was looking at me like this.

"I was waiting for you." Indra answered with a sad smile while looking at Aria instead of me.

"Were you waiting for me or my maid?" I asked because I couldn't understand who she was saying this to.

"Of course, I was waiting for you. Why would I wait for your maid?" Indra said but she was still looking at Aria.

'Did she become like a broken machine again?'

"Is that so? Then tell me the reason why we're you waiting for me?"

"Let's talk inside, walls have ears."

After saying this, She turned her back to me and entered the inside.

I followed her behind while Aria was following me and we arrived in front of the basement door.

"Can you open it?" Indra asked politely to me.

"I can't. It's embarrassing for me to bring a woman into my room." I said calmly and shook my head.

I deliberately acted like this to annoy this mad woman but it didn't work like I wanted because she took out a silver pendant with blood red crystal on it. It was very similar to the pendant that she gave to me.

'So she has a spare key huh… ' I thought while watching Indra, who was placing the pendant onto the black door of the basement.

After the door opened, Indra was going to put back the pendant on her sub space breasts but I snatched it.

"Thanks for the spare key, Indra. I needed one more key for Aria." I said and gave the pendant to Aria.

The corner of Indra's mouth twitched, probably because of annoyance but she didn't say anything and hastily entered inside.

'Did something happen for her to be in hurry?' I thought and got approval from my intuition.

'So, something happened and this something must be in the basement, which is my room. What shit luck I have.' I thought and momentarily remembered that I didn't have any good or bad luck.

Anyway, I followed Indra inside the basement.

Indra stopped in front of the divine altar of Ilelia and she slashed her palm and dropped the blood onto it.

I waited for a response from Ilelia but the response I was waiting for didn't come.

Indra looked at me with tearful eyes, she was on the verge of crying and I didn't understand this even for a bit.

If Ilelia wanted she would send a response but she can reject to answer the call of a bishop, as Ilelia was their goddess, not their servant whom they can call whenever they wanted.

"Statue of the Angels of our lady are crying tears of blood and our lady doesn't respond to our call." Indra said and held my hand with a desperate look.

"We are worried that something happened to our lady. Can you talk with her? You are her saint and saints can connect to their gods. Please…"
