"Hmph! I'll never tell you about the grimoires! Even if they want it, I can't! They're too dangerous, and letting someone like you… What's that outfit? It's… it's…"
Index was mid-sentence, scolding Samuel, when she noticed Kanzaki Kaori shuffling in stiffly. Her pale face flushed instantly, her words stumbling.
It was just too much.
"Don't recognize her? That's one of your pursuers!"
"I know… but that outfit?"
"I… I didn't choose this…"
"You're definitely dangerous! I'm never telling you about the grimoires!"
"That's not up to you. Soon enough, that little mouth of yours will spill everything—even the color of your underwear!"
Samuel stepped closer, pinching Index's cheek as he spoke.
"Ow~"
Index snapped her teeth at him, but he dodged. She glared defiantly, declaring, "No way! I'd never do that!"
"So sure?"
"Hmph, absolutely impossible…"
"Tch… unless… there's nothing under that nun's habit?"
Samuel rubbed his chin, his gaze seeming to peer through her habit.
"W-What are you blabbering about?!"
Index's face turned crimson, her hands instinctively clutching her skirt, curling into a ball.
"Hm… you're so confident you won't spill, so the only explanation is you're not wearing any! Otherwise, it doesn't add up… But looking at you… really nothing?"
It was a casual remark, but her intense reaction and odd behavior sparked genuine curiosity in Samuel.
"Let me check!"
"No!"
"Be good, let me see!"
"No way!"
"Stop! I won't let you go further!"
Kanzaki intervened, halting Samuel.
"Hey, Kanzaki, what color are yours?"
"Black! Ngh~"
Kanzaki answered instinctively—not due to the Control Magic, but Words of Power.
When a higher being used Words of Power on a lower one, the mystical language carried immense force. Kanzaki, already under Samuel's influence, succumbed easily.
"Oh~ Black, huh…"
Samuel stroked his chin, pondering.
Kanzaki clamped her mouth shut, desperate to avoid saying more.
Suddenly…
With a flick of his right hand, Samuel sent an "updraft" under Kanzaki's skirt, lifting it.
"Yep, no lies… nice, it suits you!"
"Aaahhh!"
Her composure shattered. Normally, Kanzaki wouldn't scream like that, but Samuel's relentless antics broke her.
"Now, tell me… what color are yours?!"
Words of Power flowed from Samuel again, mystical vibrations rippling toward Index.
The Walking Church activated swiftly, holy white wings unfurling behind her, forming a protective barrier.
But the Words of Power pierced the barrier, reaching Index.
"Ngh~ Using Words of Power like this… it's crying in shame! I… I… I'm not wearing any!"
In that moment, "shame" obliterated Index's defenses.
"Aaahhh!"
Forgetting her fear of Samuel, Index lunged, teeth bared for a bite.
Samuel sidestepped.
She chased relentlessly, shouting, "What was I supposed to do? I ran away without preparing, had no money—there was no way!"
"Relax, it's no big deal…"
"Jerk, jerk, I'll bite you to death!"
"Ngh~"
When her bite landed on his lips, things took an odd turn…
Samuel hadn't dodged on purpose, having calculated this outcome.
"Wah~"
Index's face flushed deeper, and she scrambled back to the bed.
Being kissed by Samuel was one thing, but her initiating it? That was another matter entirely.
Looking at the two thoroughly rattled girls, Samuel shrugged. In this arena, as the locals might say, he was "Super High School Level."
"Ahem… Ladies, I think there's a misunderstanding here. We can clear it up, and I can prove my words are true, Kanzaki!"
Hearing Samuel shift to serious matters, Kanzaki set aside her embarrassment, her gaze locking onto Index.
Index peeked curiously from under the blanket.
"Let me show you."
Samuel reached out, pulling Index from the covers. His fingers gently brushed her throat, stimulating it with "mystery."
"Ngh…"
Index's words caught in her throat, her mouth opening helplessly, tongue slightly out, a strange glow emanating from her throat.
"This is…"
Kanzaki instantly spotted the issue, her eyes fixed on the "spell" glowing in Index's throat.
A unique symbol, between "2" and "4."
"2 represents change, true will. 4 is the mouth, accepting advice, gaining wisdom. Combining the Runes of 2 and 4, this unique symbol was crafted, altering Automatic Writing's will, making her her own shackle. It's a triple-layered barrier—a complex feat. Its power rivals the control I placed on you."
Samuel explained.
"How… how could…"
Kanzaki's teeth clenched, her knuckles whitening as her fists tightened, her expression contorted with fury at the symbol.
"Detected: external stimulus. Automatic Writing activated. Per Chapter 1, Section 3, prioritize repelling…"
"Cool it."
Samuel released her, his Words of Power soothing Automatic Writing.
Everything dissipated.
"I know how to save her. Want to help? Then behave."
"Can… you give me some time?"
Kanzaki asked, watching Samuel gently lay Index down.
"No problem."
No need to push further—Kanzaki would comply.
After all, she was Salvare000 (Extend a hand to those who cannot be saved).
…
"Ngh~ The former Pontiff in that outfit? Fallen Angel Erotic Maid… ugh, what a battle of spirit, technique, and body! I'm totally outmatched… Hm? This is… Great Spirit Light Maid?! No way… I don't have the courage to wear that!"
