Chapter 26 "Sister Elia"

Ioki looked at the man. He stared at him from his head down to his feet.

The man had messy, long green hair down to his shoulder and an annoyed expression as he stared down at Ioki.

His right arm could be seen holding a green spear glowing with white light as it had been blessed by the Nun from before.

From his hair down to his feet, all the equipment he equipped is colored green...

The more Ioki looked at him, the more annoyed the man's expression became.

"Hey, I asked you!" He shouted at Ioki.

"Umm, yes. My name is Ioki. How may I help you? Umm, mister?" Ioki replied with an awkward smile.

Suddenly, the man put his hands on Ioki's shoulder and started yanking him violently.

"Where have you been?! I've been waiting for your LIVE for the whole night. Because you didn't go LIVE, I went on hunting. I opened the LIVE menu again this morning but can't find you LIVE! Why?" The man shook Ioki as he interrogated him.

"Excuse me, sir! This young one here is an esteemed guest of the Church of Light! If you don't remove your hands anytime soon, I need to call the Patrols and get you detained! Worst case possible, you might even be banned from the Church of Light!" The Priest shouted at the man.

Seeing a commotion at the corner of the Church, the man's party went there and dragged him away.

A man with a bow and a woman with a shortsword could be seen dragging him away.

"I'm sorry for the commotion, Priest! Please don't mind this idiot right here! I'm sorry once again!" The man with a bow apologized, "Ah, and sorry to you as well, Ioki. This guy right here is a big fan of yours. He can't control himself!"

"What do you mean big fan!?" The 'green' man shouted.

"Ahem, please, do I need to remind you that you are inside a Church?" A soft voice from behind spoke.

It was the Nun that was blessing them. As she approached them, Ioki could finally see the sister's figure.

He was in a Holy Church, yet he was having unholy thoughts... Perhaps it was because of what the three women had just done to him, but upon seeing the Nun closing in, Ioki could feel everything around him slow down.

A long golden hair that swayed every time she moved, her skin is as fair as the snow white, and her hourglass figure could be seen through no matter how the Nun attire tried to cover it.

The necklace of diamonds wrapped around her neck with the cross pendant resting on her bosom.

Not long after, Ioki found himself staring at the Nun's eyes... Like looking at a storm, her eyes are grey colored. Enigmatic and mysterious like the owner of the eyes herself, even though she always has a radiant smile, one can't discern the meaning behind it.

"Are you sure that's even Ioki? He said he would not be playing the game for long... There is a possibility that he already logged out by now..." The woman at the party asked hushedly.

Ioki stood up from his seat, "I am indeed Ioki. Are you perhaps one of my viewers? I'm sorry I don't know your name."

As they dragged him, the man shouted from afar, "I am one of your OG viewer, you brat! How dare you don't recognize me!?"

Ioki put his fingers to his chin and pondered for a while.

"Are you perhaps Mr. Turtle?" Ioki asked, "Ah no, no way Mr. Turtle would be like you... Don't tell me? DarkFlame?"

As they let go of him, the man tidied his clothes and proudly said, "Yes! That's right! The one and on---"

"DarkSkillIssue, pffftt~" Ioki continued.

"You brat!" DarkFlame readied his spear.

The Nun could be seen raising her hand, and a circle of white runes slowly came out, "I take it you want to cause chaos inside this Holy House of Goddess Lumiere?"

DarkFlame party could be seen hitting him on his head and his back.

The woman shouted, "I'm sorry!"

The man continued, "We will be gone right away! I am sorry, Sister Elia!"

They then dragged DarkFlame away as they scolded him, "You! Do you know how hard it is to get a spot on this raid party? You want it to go to waste!?"

Ignoring their scoldings, he simply shouted at Ioki, "Hey! Turn on your LIVE!"

The three then get out of the Church as they argue.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience!" Ioki said as he took out another small purse, "Here! This is for your trouble!"

Ioki offered the purse to the Nun.

"Ah, don't worry about it, kid. Do tell, what brings you here?" The Nun asked as she stared at Ioki up and down.

"He is making the Identification for the Guided Soul. He made a large donation, and his manners are way above the other Guided Souls!" The Priest answered.

"Priest Albert, I thought you already made a rule to not continue any administrative work past noon?" The Nun asked.

"He is an exception, Sister Elia!" Priest Albert replied.

"Ah, so you are Elia! Skye sent her greetings!" Ioki chimed in.

Not long after, a massive fist could be felt on Ioki's head.

"Address her as Sister Elia, you brat!" Priest Albert said sternly.

Sister Elia's soft voice filled the whole Church as she laughed, "Oh my God, please, you don't have to be that hard on the kid!"

Ioki rubbed his head and bowed to apologize.

"Ah, no, no... that's fine. Come to think of it, because of works and the orders from the Cardinal, it has been a long time since I met Skye as well," Sister Elia said with a smile.

She raised her hand, and suddenly, a circle of white runes appeared on her hand.

"Heal," Sister Elia cast a spell on Ioki.

Suddenly, a warm light enveloped Ioki, and his body feels refreshed as the light dissipated.

"Thank you, Sister Elia!" Ioki thanked her while bowing once again.

"No problem. Umm, what's your name again?" Sister Elia asked Ioki as she approached him closer.

"My name is Ioki. Nice to meet you, Sister Elia!" He answered.

Suddenly, Sister Elia grabbed Ioki's wrist. From what seemed like bliss to Ioki's eyes, he slowly changed into a somewhat painful expression.
