Chapter 19 — The Unveiled Saintess

Summoned To Another World


Later At The House...
​Iris searched the house for her host.​「Aunt Louez, you home?」​「Yes. ...Goes to her... What do you need?」​「Well, nothing really. We just came to say that we're moving out.」​「How come?」 Louez asked, surprised.​「Well, we're getting paid well, and they're still after me and Zak, so I can't put you in harm's way any longer. Besides, we've been thinking about it for a while now.」​「Oh, I see. ...A little sad...」​「Don't worry. When we get off days, we'll visit, OK?」​「...Smiles... OK.」​Jay stepped forward, presenting a heavy pouch.​「This is for you, ma'am.」​「But why's there so much in here?」​「It's for welcoming Saalin and my little Princess the way you did. I know it's not enough to thank you for all you did. I was—」​Louez cut him off with a gentle wave of her hand.​「OK, I get it. Just continue on looking after Iris.」​「I will, ma'am.」​Lena approached Louez with a tiny offering.​「Um... Miss Louez, you can have one of my cakes.」​「...Takes it... Are you sure, Lena?」​「Yes. Um... Thank you for letting me stay with Papa... Err... Hmm... A-and thank you for being like a Grandmama to me.」​Louez put the cake aside, deeply touched.​「You're very welcome. ...Hugs Lena... Make sure your Papa doesn't get any unclean thoughts with your Mama and sister, OK?」​「I promise you Papa won't!」​【Yet again I was cock-blocked】「 Hmm... Can you let go of her now?」​「Seems like your Papa is jealous!」​「...Giggles... Yes, he gets like that sometimes. ...Lets go of Louez... Bye-bye, Grandmama Louez!」​「Good-bye, Lena. ...Then they left...」​​At The New House...
​Iris surveyed the spacious property, shaking her head at Jay's choice.​「I gotta say, you outdid yourself, Jay. It's not too big and not too small.」​「Well, I thought a small mansion on private land wouldn't hurt. Cost a pretty penny, too.」​「...Sighs... You and your bad spending habits!」​「Yah, sorry... But Saalin and Princess—」​「Yes, Master Jay?」​「Would you like to be in separate rooms or the same room?」​「I wanna be with Papa and Mama!」​Saalin hesitated, trying to temper her sister's demand.​「Err... Lena, you can't be greedy.」​Lena immediately gave off a palpable wave of dark aura, silencing the discussion.​「I said I want to be with Papa and Mama!」​【What the!】​「Yah, OK. You can be with us.」​「...Happy... Yay! Thanks, Papa!」​「OK, Princess, why don't you explore the house so long?」​「OK. ...Then she left...」​「Are you sure about that, Master Jay?」 Saalin asked quietly.​「Yah, for now. We can all be in one room till Lena decides she wants to leave... 'Cos I know you sometimes feel claustrophobic when you're alone in a room, OK, Saalin?」​「OK, Master Jay.」​【If I wasn't born a slave, then maybe I wouldn't have bothered his alone time with Lady Iris... But in a way, I'm also happy his considering my well-being too.】​「But more importantly, Lena's outburst just now.」 Iris brought up the incident.​「Yah, I don't know what it is either. 【But it seems the more time she spends with me, the more she mimics my actions... Hmm, this could prove as a great help for her growth when the worst-case scenario happens.】 I won't be out tomorrow.」​「Why?」​「Well, I'll be making us some gear.」​「Oh, OK. ...Then Jay left... You know, Saalin...」​「Yes, Lady Iris?」​Iris leaned close, her smile conspiratorial.​「If you would, let's say, drug Jay and got in bed with him... I wouldn't mind, OK? Think about it! Well, I'll explore the house. ...Then she also left...」​Saalin's face was instantly flushed.​【B-b-b-but if I do that, he might hate me! Not to mention Lena might think of doing the same! But on the other hand, I'm glad she's routing for me... No, Saalin, you can't think like that! He's your Master! He can't see you as a lover!】
​The Next Day...
​Lisa, now walking through the public streets, was dramatically different without her veil.​「Hi, Liani.」​「Lisa! What are you doing outside without your veil?!」​「Oh, that. It seems when Jay kissed me yesterday, ...Blushes... my looks didn't send men into heat.」​「Tch... I see.」 Liani grumbled, still annoyed.​「...Teasing... Oh, Liani, don't tell me you're jealous! I'd understand since yours are still untouched!」​「...Pouts... Mmmm... What do you want?」​「I was wondering if Jay's party is here.」​「Well, Jay isn't here, but the rest of his party is... But what about your escorts?」​A figure in silver armor spoke up sharply.​「{Church Knight} That's none of your business.」​「Ah, rude much.」 Liani shot back.​「...Sighs... Well, this is how everyone back at the temple is right now, so don't mind them. But where are Iris and the rest?」​「Oh, I see. And you'll find them in the cafeteria.」​「OK, thanks.」
