Chapter 78: – The First Letter (78)

༺ The First Letter (78) ༻

It took a while to appease the Saintess.

At first, I beamed a big smile at her, thinking she was just joking, but no matter how much I smiled at her, it didn’t seem to improve her mood.

My face stiffened realizing that she was genuinely displeased.

She had every right to be upset. After all, I had broken our promise even though I had a good reason to do so.

I sensed a change in the Saintess, who had been displaying a cold smile, and wondered if it was because of my sincere efforts.

Even though the change was only in the form of a pout and a shake of her head, she was so beautiful that it was like looking at God’s work of art. Her beauty and cuteness made my heart flutter, not to mention, her breasts…

No, no, no, I mustn’t have such indecent thoughts. I composed myself and continued my best efforts to appease her anger.

“It was inevitable. Didn’t God say so himself: ‘Help the sick and needy by your side, for what you do for them, you do for me.’”

“You could have at least said something. Really, I was so surprised to hear the news…….”

I thought that if I had, she would have tried to stop me. That was how strongly opposed she was to my participation.

In this situation, a hasty retort would only backfire, so it was important to pretend to empathize with her first.

I nodded enthusiastically as if the Saintess was undeniably correct.

“I was too careless. I was so focused on saving my friend… do you think I would have been so reckless otherwise?”

“Yes.”

I clamped my mouth shut at the Saintess’ stern reply. She crossed her arms, looked at me with a piercing gaze, and let out a small sigh.
