I got out of the room and saw Indra, who was having a conversation with Aria, though mostly she was speaking and Aria was answering her with head movents.
Well, Aria saw with so blood on my clothes and appeared on my side in a blur of the mont as if she had teleported while she was just a fighter, not a mage.
"I am completely fine, my dear Aria. You don't need to worry about these blood stains." I said and patted her head.
Aria looked at as if she wasn't convinced by my words and said with her usual monotonous tone:
"Are you okay, master? Where did that blood stains co from if you aren't injured?"
I opened my mouth to answer but Indra acted more quickly than .
"They must be blood stains that ca from the statues, you don't have to worry, sister Aria."
'Sister Aria? When did they beco close enough to call each other like this?'
"Don't call sister." Aria said while glaring at Indra.
'So, Indra was trying to get closer to her but Aria was too paranoid to warm up to this crazy female bishop.'
I looked at Indra with a very sharp gaze and said coldly:
"Indra, We have to talk, it is important."
Indra understand what I wanted and nodded, then she led us to a very simple looking room.
She sat on a bed and patted her side.
I ignored her intention and made ice chair for both and Aria. I sat on the chair and looked at Indra with a very serious expression.
"My goddess is dying." I said simply without twisting my words and watched her reaction.
Indra's breath stuck and she didn't even take a breath for a whole minute. Just stood still like a statue because of the shock, then tears began to fall from her deep blue eyes.
Her heart began to beat faster and stronger, I could feel her heart was hamring to her chest strongly even while I was sitting in front of her. Her expression got darker but she stayed still without moving even an inch.
'Did she break? How boring…' I thought after seeing Indra's state.
I didn't have any reason to make her mine as I was going to leave this place for a minimum of 3 years, and 3 years was a long ti for her emotions to die with the ti I was gone.
She wasn't like Lucy who was dependent on and can't live without , which was pretty normal as I was the one who made Lucy like this over the years while her mind wasn't mature enough to resist my emotional manipulation.
Though I still decided to show so of the good sides of Indra to make our future relationship more beneficial for than for her.
Hence, I got up from my chair and crouched in front of her face. I put my palms on her cheek gently and pull back, then slap her hard.
She fell onto the bed blankly without any big reaction and looked at with a confused expression while holding her cheek which had beco red after my slap.
"Don't give up on your life imdiately, I just said that my goddess was dying. I didn't say that there was nothing we can do." I said sternly and caressed her reddened cheek.
Indra's eyes lightened up after hearing , then she got up and looked at with a hopeful look.
"Really? My lady is going to live? Then why did you say it like this?" She questioned.
I slapped her again after hearing that she got my words wrong.
Slap!
This ti she didn't fall to the bed just confusion appeared on her expression.
"I didn't tell you that my goddess is going to live, I just said that we have sothing to do for our goddess for her to live."
Indra montarily froze, then quickly took my hand into her hands and looked at with a look as if she was about to beg.
"Tell quickly, my saint. Please tell how I can help my lady." Indra said with sorrow evident in her voice.
I pull my hand from her grip and caressed her cheek gently, then said calmly:
"All you have to do is just do what you were doing before I beca the saint. My goddess needs believers to restore her health even for a bit and in the anti, I will search treasures for my goddess to heal quickly."
Indra was about to speak but I put my index finger on her lips.
"Shuush…" I shut her up like this and continued to speak:
"I know what you want to say but there is no need for you to co with . This church needs you to gather more believers for my goddess as this will help her more." I said and pulled her head to my chest, then patted her head.
I felt Aria's murderous gaze, thus I turned my head and gave her a sharp look, which made her close her eyes tightly.
After that, I turned my attention to Indra again.
"In the inside of that room, I spoke with an angel of my goddess. She was the one who said to go around the world and search for treasures."
I lifted her face from my face and looked into his moist eyes that were about to cry. I gently wiped them and put my forehead to hers. She didn't resist my touch, probably because of her ntal state.
"Do what you were doing without thinking too much. You are bishop of my goddess and your job is to gather more believers and make this church stronger. Both strength and wealth wise while I, the saint of Ilelia am away."
Indra pulled her head and nodded with determination.
"That is good." I said and got up.
"I have little to no ti, so excuse my sudden depart."
After saying this I went towards the door but stopped before opening it.
'My job is done here, but I should request subspace magic from Indra before going out a journey like this.' I thought and turned to Indra, then smiled gently.
"Hey, Indra…"
