"It may seem like I’m forcing you, but I wish my beloved Saintess wouldn’t have to hold back like that. It would be better if you were bound by a contract with each other like a sacred promise or something," said the Goddess Aurora while patting her wrist.

"It would seem like a sacred promise of marriage but there’s a slight difference… Mwaaah!!"

As the Goddess Aurora tried to explain the meaning of her words, her cheeks were pulled by my Goddess who seemed to pout after hearing it.

"I didn’t know you were trying to do something like that in front of me!" exclaimed my Goddess while playing with the Goddess Aurora’s cheeks until they stretched long.

"S-Senpai… it hurts you know… Ah! My cheeks hurt!" shouted the Goddess Aurora who tried to defend herself from the small attack that hit her cheeks.

After a while, my Goddess released the pulling of the Goddess Aurora’s cheeks. I could see the two of them staring at each other as if discussing something inside their heads.

The nods and shakes of their heads didn’t seem to reach an agreement with each other leaving me alone.

I who was still standing in the realm of the Goddess was pensive for a while before the Goddess Aurora flew towards me.

"It’s a bit regrettable but I only got the approval to do the Linked Ritual with you. This will be history when two Goddesses work together to integrate their systems into one native system. Lily-chan, you will get two blessings from Senpai and me as the Goddess Aurora."

"Hue?" That was all I could say when I heard the words spoken by the Goddess Aurora.

"Don’t forget to kiss Hana after returning to the real world," said the Goddess Aurora while bringing her lips that were covered in golden light closer.

Chuu…

When the lips of the Goddess Aurora touched mine, I could feel the holy magic energy absorbing into my body along with the blessing of my Yurification System which suddenly changed to be more beautiful and comfortable than before.

The cute appearance that was forced by my Goddess was replaced with something more that suited my style.

I have to admit, this is more suitable and comfortable for my style which doesn’t care about appearance. It seems that Goddess Aurora is far superior in the arts than my Goddess. This makes me grateful to receive two blessings given by two different Goddesses.

After letting go of the gentle kiss, Goddess Aurora waved her hand and slowly my consciousness became heavier until I fell asleep.

"Ugh... my head hurts," when I opened my eyes again, I could see the view of the sky in my eyes and the cold twilight wind. My body was still sitting on the long chair with my twin step-sister and Hana.

Alyssa was still sleeping in my arms and Alice seemed to be sleeping soundly on my bare thighs just like Hana.

In the silence filled with the sound of their sleeping breaths that made me sleepy too, I looked at the situation around me.

Several border soldiers guarding the gate of the Aurora Kingdom Capital were surrounding us as if protecting us from the commoners who wanted to approach.

When my red gaze was directed at them, suddenly they shouted happily after knowing that I had woken up from sleep.

"Hey! Look! The little girl is awake!"

"That’s right! Our little girl hero has woken up!"

"Everyone, cheer for our little girl hero!"

"Long live the little girl hero!"

"Thank you for saving our Capital from destruction!"

My body suddenly trembled as I saw the line of commoners cheering like this. I don’t remember ever doing something so extraordinary to provoke such a huge cheer.

What just happened?

Takkk… Takkk…

Kraaakk…

As the cheers echoed one after another, I could see the horse-drawn carriage of the Marquess Rommel family and the horse-drawn carriage of the Aurora Goddess Shrine stopping at the same time.

Braaakk…

"Lily! Alice! Alyssa! Are you all okay?!" My father came out with heavy footsteps after breaking out of his horse-drawn carriage.

When my father was in front of me, he observed my fine condition along with my appearance as I was being supported by the three little girls.

"Oh, good evening, Father, did you come to pick me up and return to the royal family party?" I asked with a cheerful face as if waking up from a deep sleep.

"I don’t know what happened to you, I’m so relieved that you weren’t hurt at all. Forgive me for coming late after taking care of the protection for the other nobles and carrying out a temporary evacuation," my father said with his head bowed to me.

"It’s okay, Father. It’s your duty as the Marquess of this Aurora Kingdom. Alice and Alyssa have helped me with Hana... Ah! Is it okay for this holy girl to be seen like this in public?" My gaze turned to Hana who was fast asleep on my bare thighs.

"I guess it’s okay, isn’t it, Miss Saintess Sirius?" My father said as he directed his gaze to the figure of the holy woman I met earlier.

"Oh! You’re from the Marquess Rommel family, you also guarded Hana until she fell into a deep sleep like that. Is the artifact from the Aurora Goddess Shrine really that easy to use?" With gentleness and an innocent smile full of purity, the holy woman looked at me as if she wanted to thank me for protecting Hana.

"Lily, it seems you went a little overboard this time, it’s not that I want to punish you for moving freely without parental supervision but for making Alice use advanced magic to forcibly teleport," from behind my body, I could see Mother stepping out of the horse carriage. Her tired facial expression looked at Alice and Alyssa, and with a thin sigh, she started walking towards me.

"You didn’t suffer any fatal injuries, right?" asked my mother while pointing her magic wand at me.

A blue and green glow swirled around my body as if it was touching my entire body from top to bottom.

Their appearance had caused a small commotion from the commoners who had gathered to see us.

"Yes, thank goodness you didn’t suffer any serious injuries," said my mother while letting out a small sigh of relief.

The arrival of my parents and Saintess Sirius had provided new topics of conversation for the curious commoners.

My ears could hear that Marquess Rommel and the Aurora Temple had a good relationship to stand next to each other like that.

"Ukhum! Hana, I know you’re awake, don’t pretend to be sleeping or I’ll be forced to carry you home to the Aurora Temple," said the Saintess who I knew was named Sirius.

"Kuuhhnn... can I sleep a little longer?" replied Hana who slowly got up from my bare thighs.

"Don’t talk so forcefully, Hana. Lily-sama also wants to go home soon after the royal family party is canceled due to the attack of the monster that has negative magic energy. We need to report this incident to the Aurora Goddess Shrine as witnesses who were directly involved in the incident, don’t we, Lily-sama?" Saintess Sirius asked with a smile at me.

"Ah.. yes," I nodded my head to agree.

Father and Mother immediately carried my sleeping twin step-sisters.

Only Hana was left.

"Onee-san, I want to sleep longer on your bare thighs," Hana said while looking at my face which looked shabby after waking up from sleep.

"Hanaa... do you want to bother Lily-sama even more?" Saintess Sirius said with a high tone.

"I-I understand," receiving the emphasis from Saintess Sirius, Hana immediately stood up and acted like a normal Saintess who was independent.

I quickly got up with Hana and hurriedly handed over the magic staff that was tied to my katana sheath on my belt.

"Thank you for lending this to me, Saintess Sirius," I said to thank Saintess Sirius.

Saintess Sirius accepted the magic staff that I had used.

Swwiirrll...

The shrunken magic staff suddenly changed its size to its original form.

"This magic staff seems to be very suitable for your magic capacity, do you want to officially become its owner?" Saintess Sirius said with a gentle smile on her face.

"That interests me but there is a price to pay for it, right?" I replied who understood her gentle smile that indicated something.

"Ah, could it be that you already know?"

"More or less I understand how expensive the artifact owned by the Aurora Goddess Shrine is, giving it to me will certainly pay a certain price, for example like... the report given by your spirit about my spirit?" I said while looking at the traces of magic energy from the spirit in her body.

Saintess Sirius who looked like an innocent woman hid her spirit’s magic energy perfectly.

"Aahh... looks like you’ve been found out huh?" replied Saintess Sirius with an unchanging friendly smile.

I remembered the words of the Goddess Aurora who no longer trusted humanity.

Could that have something to do with this?

The figure of the Fake Saintess who could so easily become two faces like this.

I smiled when I saw her manipulative two-faced expression.

"Yeah, it’s not like I found out on my own. Someone told me."

Actually, I knew it from the bad feeling I got after seeing the face of her deviant and manipulative expressions.

I suddenly remembered the request of the Goddess Aurora who wanted Hana to become a Genuine Saintess through the Linked Ritual.

I glanced at Hana who was slowly rushing towards the horse-drawn carriage of the Goddess Aurora Shrine.

"Hana..." I said while calling her.

"Hmm? What’s wrong, Onee-san?" Hana stopped and turned her face towards me.

I approached her and moved to touch her cheek.

"Hana, do you want to become a Real Saintess like me?" I said to Hana.

"A Real Saintess? I’m already a Saintess."

Hearing Hana’s cute answer, I immediately kissed her lips softly to perform the Linked Ritual.

At that moment, the Real Saintess of Goddess Aurora was reborn.
