Aya's face turned black. "Hey, hey, is this how you show no respect?"

"Tiran, you also—" Just as she was about to turn her head and ask Tiran for help to mediate, she saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking excited with a popcorn and cola in his hands.

"Can't you stop her?" she said.

"Huh? What can I do? Even if my combat power is lower than that of a rookie knight, I won't be able to stop her if I go up there," Tiran lazily replied.

"But this is your room. What if she blows up the room?" Aya reminded him suddenly.

"... Right, wait a moment, Mimi, stop fighting here!" Tiran reacted and jumped up from the bed. If the teleportation portal behind the mirror got blown up, all his treasures would be gone.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. No matter how you punish me later, I must defeat this little brat!" Mimi declared.

With a glance, Aya confirmed that Mimi was the one to fight. The maid instantly entered her demonic state, and the flames highlighted her hair and red-burning eyes, raising the temperature in the room by several degrees. It seemed that she couldn't be reasoned with anymore.

"If you don't stop, I won't let you see Chirp anymore," Aya cleverly called out.

The room suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Looking at the still burning flames, Aya felt embarrassed. Wasn't that effective? If not, she could use Dragon Magic...

Huh? Was it just my imagination? Why did it seem like the flames on Mimi trembled for a moment? Aya rubbed her eyes again, but Mimi had already extinguished the flames and walked out with her head lowered.

It seems it was effective after all...

"You... remember this!" Before leaving, Mimi turned her head and glared at Aya fiercely, then slammed the door shut.

"Hey! Don't run away! Show me your power!" Angel wanted to chase after her but was pulled back by the collar of her bathrobe by Aya. Helpless against Aya, who possessed dragon power, Angel lost her balance and fell to the ground. Thankfully, the thick carpet cushioned her fall, so she didn't hit anything.

"Wu... Senpai, that's so mean! Why won't you let me chase after her?"

"Chase... after who?! You troublesome child! After being sealed, you're just good for delivering groceries!" Aya pulled the corners of her mouth and mercilessly gave this unlucky child a special "naughty child transformation" kit, consisting of drills, drills, and drills. The effect was outstanding, turning Angel into a fragrant mosquito coil in no time. Add to that her struggling movements, which caused her bathrobe to loosen quite a bit. Seeing how weak and helpless she was lying on the ground, it would easily make people's minds wander.

"Dumb dragon, you've grown quite a bit," Tiran sat cross-legged on the bed, supporting his chin with a subtle expression on his face. "Tsk, tsk, not long ago, you were still a weak uke. Now, you even have a strong attacking momentum."

Suddenly, Tiran felt his head being touched. He turned around and saw Chirp gently rubbing his head.

"Chirp?"

"Um, Daddy, even though there are green pastures on your head, you have to be strong... Um, is that how you say it?" The beast-eared loli had an innocent look, but for some reason, she spoke cruel words.

Green... green pastures?! Tiran's eyes twitched as he looked at Aya and Angel by the bed. Me? Greened by Aya? What kind of international joke is this?!

After a while, Angel came to from her dizziness and looked up to see Tiran sitting on the bed with a stern expression, staring down at her. Aya was leaning against the bed, not paying attention to her.

"So, let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm Tiran, Tiran Elysian, the second princess of this human kingdom...though you may not care about that," Tiran said.

Instinctively resisting talking to Tiran, Angel remembered Aya's reminder and spoke softly, "F...Fiona."

"Oh, that's not a bad name. I'll call you Little Fiona from now on," Tiran said, raising an eyebrow and touching her chin.

"Huh?! Wait, only Lady Sister can use endearing terms to address me...and what kind of strange nickname is that?" Fiona protested dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, oh, so you've already acknowledged me as Lady Sister? It seems I have quite a charm," Tiran said with a smirk.

"I didn't mean to acknowledge you!" Fiona exclaimed.

"Alright, Little Fiona, no problem, Little Fiona."

"Hey!"

Looking at the flushed face of Angel, Aya breathed a sigh of relief. Well, this could be considered...resolved? There shouldn't be any major issues from now on, right?

A few minutes later, Aya realized she was wrong. There were problems, and...

The problem was significant!

"Anyway, Aya, Sister Mimi said there are no more available rooms, so she asked you to share a room with the new sister...that's it," Elli, the maid Aya knew, stood in front of her with a somewhat embarrassed expression as she spoke. A thousand alpacas ran through Aya's mind in that instant.

Gilliast was a royal castle, and its size was certainly not lacking. Even if all the maids, cooks, and everyone else were added together, there wouldn't be a shortage of rooms. It must be Mimi trying to get back at her!

But Aya couldn't complain to the girl in front of her, so she could only leave it at that for now. She would find a room for Fiona tomorrow.

Before that...she absolutely couldn't reveal that she was a boy! Aya slapped her cheeks hard.

Perhaps because she had been with Tiran for too long, cross-dressing had become completely normal to her, to the point where she sometimes forgot about her gender. The most obvious example was when Fiona was taking a bath, she had naturally joined her...thankfully, she had wrapped herself in a towel, and the steam was too thick to reveal anything!

This wasn't good, not good at all. She couldn't let this become a habit! Otherwise, she might really go down a dangerous path!

"What is Aya doing?" Fiona asked curiously, looking at Aya standing at the door and slapping her cheeks.

"It's nothing! Let's get to the point!" Aya coughed twice, closed the door, and walked to the balcony. She pulled the curtains shut, leaving only a dimly lit lamp on the bedside table.

Then Aya started undressing...no, she just took off her damp robe that had been moistened by the steam, revealing the undergarments she was wearing.

"As an exchange to help you avoid Tiran’s advances in the castle, you will provide information about Heaven and the Church. That was our promise, right?" Aya asked.

"Yes, Aya senpai," Fiona nodded earnestly.

Seeing the child's serious expression, a sense of guilt surged up in Aya once again. In reality, the premise of this deal didn't even exist.

Because Tiran is not capable of doing anything that Fiona worries about... Although it lacks integrity, after spending so much time together, Aya confirms that Tiran is actually a person with principles, so using force is simply impossible.

As for why Aya wants to understand the affairs of Heaven and the Church, she can't really say why. Perhaps it is related to the hostile relationship between Milanía and Heinrich, but more importantly, it is the perception of the Golden Dragon. She always feels that in the future, there will be some connection with the Temple Church or even the Goddess. It is good to know more about it.

"Then let me ask a question first, what exactly is Heaven and the Goddess of the Light like?"

"Huh? Aya senpai doesn't know?" Fiona was a little surprised and showed a look of a modern person observing primitive people.

"I'm really sorry for not knowing, but just tell me." Aya was annoyed.

"The Goddess is the deity of humans. She has been protecting humans since the period of the mythical war ten thousand years ago and helped humans win The Second Legendary War."

"I already know this, what I mean is, what kind of existence is the Goddess? What exactly is a 'god'?"

Aya shook her head. This is what she cares about. She has witnessed several Holy Rank experts taking action during this period of time. As one of the most powerful races in the world, she is naturally interested in such great power.

After obtaining the ability to control the rules, the Holy Rank has already surpassed the ordinary level. So, what if they are gods?

"I... don't know about this either." Fiona regretfully shook her head, "I am a young junior in the Angel clan, and even the much older senior ancient Angel doesn't know what the existence of the Goddess exactly is. But being able to exist for ten thousand years must be an eternal existence that has never changed, right?"

"Then... what about power? How powerful can the Goddess be?"

"Um, the Goddess hasn't personally fought for a long time. After the mythical war ended, the gods made an oath called 'God's Mercy to the World'. Deities cannot intervene in the mortal world, and the mythical war has also made the gods tired of fighting, so..."

"...You don't know either?" Aya covered her face. Well, it's not that easy to get a glimpse into the realm of deities. Let's ask some practical questions instead.

...

"Uh... Has it already gotten dark outside?"

After who knows how long, Aya moved her shoulders and neck, revealing a slightly painful expression. Being in the same posture for too long, it feels as if even the joints are not flexible anymore.

But it wasn't completely fruitless. At least she now has a general understanding of the systems controlled by Heaven and the Temple Church under the Goddess of the Light, such as the automated system in the divine realm that can monitor in real-time if there are any monsters appearing in the area centered around the cathedral or if blessings are given to the believers.

The only regret is that there is no useful information that can be used at the moment. If it were Tiran, he should be more interested in the dark history of the church, right? The kind of information that, if made public, would cause a huge uproar...

"Um, senpai Aya... Is it already dinner time?"

Suddenly, her hem was tugged. Angel Miss asked somewhat embarrassedly while covering her stomach.
