The little nun’s information was very sparse, only four completely unremarkable lines.

It was just that the name and ability entries were far too familiar, and the level column was especially glaring.

Anlis stared at the panel in front of her, her smile freezing completely, thinking she must have seen it wrong, she rubbed her eyes hard in disbelief, but when she looked again, the information on the panel was still exactly the same.

A cold sweat ran down her spine, instantly soaking through her underclothes, making her whole body tremble.

‘No! Huh?’

Her face turned deathly pale, her mind struck as if by a heavy blow, she nearly collapsed back onto the bed.

Even if Anlis really were a pig, seeing these familiar panel entries should make her realize what was going on!

The Corruption Monarch had disguised herself as a nun and was even trying to pose as her savior to get close to her?!

How could she be having a dream like this!

Her fingers curled uncontrollably, gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, fear spreading through her heart.

Her gaze instinctively swept over the bedding behind her, it had been carefully laid out by this gentle “nun” in front of her.

The fragrance of the chicken soup lingered at the tip of her nose, it had been personally prepared by this considerate girl before her.

How many people in this world could enjoy such treatment?

Was she touched?

She didn’t dare to move!

This... this Corruption Monarch, what exactly was she planning?

Was she trying to toy with her again, or did she want to watch her curse flare up at close range and see her in an ugly state, or something else entirely?

If she didn’t have a god-level information-gathering ability, she would definitely have been completely kept in the dark!

No, she couldn’t panic.

She absolutely couldn’t reveal that she had already discovered her identity!

Anlis frantically warned herself in her heart.

Her ugly expression was controlled in an instant, her panic immediately turning into a blank, emotionless look, this was the only disguise she could manage.

Though it was still full of flaws, her face stiff and liver-colored.

“Miss, may I ask what your name is?” At that moment, Velian leaned closer, as if she had finally gathered her thoughts on what to say.

“Ah! I’m here!”

A faint rose fragrance drifted toward her, increasingly familiar as it etched itself into her memory, Anlis froze stiff in shock and instinctively responded loudly.

Velian was startled by the sudden shout, pausing before asking, “What’s wrong with you?”

‘I messed up! I messed up!’

Anlis hurriedly lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum, “M-my name is Anlis Kachi, just now, I... I was thinking about something of my own.”

‘What a terrible excuse!’

The moment she thought that the nun in front of her was actually the Corruption Monarch, she felt that any action she took could become a chance for the other party to notice a flaw.

Every step felt like walking on thin ice!

Would that shout just now expose her? It probably wouldn’t, right... it was just a shout after all.

She wouldn’t connect it, right... sob...

“Anlis Kachi? That’s a very nice name.” Velian’s smile remained gentle, “My name is Velian, nice to meet you.”

Just now, Velian had also been thinking about her own matters.

For example, how exactly she could join this hero’s party.

Exchanging names was also the first step to getting closer.

Anlis’s expression remained tense.

‘Velian?’

Was she really being this bold?! Disguising herself as a Holy Church Nun was one thing, but she wasn’t even planning to change her name?

Then again, Velian had never mentioned her real name in front of others.

“Miss Anlis, may I address you like that?”

“Of course.”

Anlis felt like her cheeks were about to stiffen from smiling, she subconsciously moved a few steps toward the door.

She wanted to run, to leave this demonic prison.

But the next second, reason forcefully stopped her movements.

Running away would be far too abnormal.

At level 4, could she really escape the pursuit of a level 999 Demon Lord?

Obviously, it was impossible.

Anlis felt like prey caught in a spider’s web, completely controlled by a dense net with no escape.

Disguise was her only way to survive.

Velian froze slightly, looking at the other’s tense expression with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

‘Forget it, the important matter came first.’

“Mm, Miss Anlis, I’m quite curious, as a nun of the Holy Church, I’m particularly sensitive to the Holy Light, and I feel a kind of aura from you that draws me close, may I ask what your class is?”

This was the line Velian had planned, as long as the other party responded, she should be able to smoothly join in.

Anlis’s expression became strange, she stared at the girl in front of her who was half a head shorter than herself, clicked her tongue slightly and looked away.

“I... I’m a hero...”

“Wow! That’s amazing! You’re actually a hero?”

Velian clapped her hands exaggeratedly, her eyes shining with admiration, “I’ve admired heroes since I was little.”

At this moment, she was just like a girl who had always admired heroes.

If someone could be admired by such a pure and beautiful girl, anyone would probably feel their vanity swell.

But Anlis felt as if she had swallowed a fly.

This hateful person was humiliating her!

Did she really not laugh when saying that?

Where was the admiration?

Was she admiring the ugly sight of her struggling on the ground?

Sob...

“Ah, hahaha~”

Anlis forced a laugh.

“Hero, are you planning to go on an adventure soon?”

“N-no... I’m not planning to.”

This was a lie.

‘Endure.’

Anlis remembered Velian's plan very clearly.

At its core, she didn’t want to see a motivated hero grow stronger.

Saying this was purely to deliberately make herself appear completely unambitious.

“...”

Velian’s smile stiffened slightly.

The answer was completely unexpected.

At this point, shouldn’t she be saying “Yes, I’m planning to level up and prepare to defeat the Demon Lord”? After all, she had just been beaten by the Demon Lord herself.

If she said that, then the current her could smoothly propose joining the party.

But what kind of answer was this?

“How could that be? As a hero, in order to defeat the Demon Lord, you should be going to level up.”

“Ah, but it’s harvest season, I have to go back and do farm work, how would I have time to level up?”

“Hero, how can you be like this? Your mission is to eliminate the Demon Lord, you should be more driven, things like farm work can just be hired out.”

“No no no, my family doesn’t have enough money to hire help, I’m just an ordinary farmer, I have to harvest the wheat field piece by piece myself, grind flour, and besides that there’s a whole pile of farm work to do, it’ll probably take quite a long time.”

The more she spoke, the closer Velian pressed, forcing Anlis to retreat step by step.

Until she had nowhere left to go and was pressed against the doorframe.

Velian’s expression grew darker and darker.

‘Damn it! Why wasn’t this girl following the script?’

After thinking for a long time and still not understanding where things had gone wrong, she could only step forward and grab Anlis’s hand.

“Eek!”

When her hand was grabbed, Anlis’s face turned pale, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

“Hero, then what about your mission?”

‘Still testing!’

“Mm-hmm~ let’s just put that aside for now, things like missions are too far away.”

“...tch”

The atmosphere fell silent once more.

Velian was truly out of ideas.

‘So this girl was actually someone with no drive at all?’

Then wasn’t her corruption plan a bit unnecessary...

‘No, no.’

According to the comic’s plot, Anlis was clearly a standard hot-blooded fool, and with a target for revenge, she should have been full of motivation.

But why was she showing no ambition now?

After a brief moment of thought, Velian suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

‘Could it be that my disguise has been discovered?’
