Chapter 370: Hugs and Cuddles, What a Situation!
After leaving the Interrogation Room for the Church of Light, Dorothy finally wore a puzzled expression.
"Martial Sister Kanor, what is really happening?"
"Did they seem to misunderstand that Master Lolth was once the Lady of Light?"
She probably understood from Janine Irene and the Lady of Light’s words that these two members of The Church of Light had misunderstood something.
However, there was one thing she could not figure out.
That was the reaction of Martial Sister Kanor.
In the first part, when Martial Sister Kanor was pretending to be the bad guy, Dorothy could still understand.
But in the later part, Dorothy found Martial Sister Kanor’s actions a bit confusing.
Kanor also removed the indifference and arrogance from her face, replacing it with a look of relief.
"Yes, that’s right, Sister Dorothy, they misunderstood Master Lolth’s identity."
"Because of Master Lolth’s appearance at the fashion show, along with the Holy Light’s power and the Rod of Eden, they naturally thought Master Lolth must be a member of The Church of Light."
"As expected, Master Lolth was right; those knights and priests from the church, the Superoperators, often think of ‘divine power’ as something overly complicated."
"Of course… It’s not their fault, because according to Master Lolth, ‘believing in a deity’ can blind someone’s wisdom to a certain extent."
As Kanor said this, Dorothy nodded her head.
"So that’s why you, Martial Sister Kanor, say those things… are you deliberately guiding them and deepening their misunderstandings?"
"As long as they have misunderstandings about Teacher Lolth, they won’t come to like her!"
Dorothy said excitedly.
Upon hearing Dorothy’s words, Kanor shook her head.
"It’s not so optimistic, Sister Dorothy. Even with misunderstandings, they are still likely to like Master Lolth… After all, according to the results of the Daydream Fruit, that seemingly pure Lady of Light has already come to see Master Lolth as an object of fantasy!"
"You could even say that misunderstandings themselves can speed up the process of them liking Master Lolth."
As Kanor said this, Dorothy looked slightly surprised.
Then it became clear.
Although she arrived in Hillenbrand Town a bit late, she still learned about the feelings between Tina, Isabella, and Teacher Lolth through the townsfolk’s words and Kanor’s explanations.
At first, they had a deep misunderstanding of Teacher Lolth.
However, it was these misunderstandings that actually made them like Teacher Lolth faster, creating opportunities for them to get closer.
Of course, Dorothy also understood that even without the misunderstandings, Isabella and Tina would probably still like Master Lolth.
Just like her.
It felt almost destined.
"I understand, Martial Sister Kanor… But if that’s the case, why do you still guide them to continue misunderstanding?"
Dorothy continued to ask.
However, instead of questioning or misunderstanding, this feels more like seeking proof and asking.
And Kanor did not hesitate to tell her Sister Dorothy the truth.
"Because as long as the misunderstanding is not resolved, even if they fall in love with Master Lolth, they will have no chance."
Kanor said confidently.
"If the misunderstanding continues, then the Lady of Light, who has likely already fallen, may like Master Lolth faster, but… she will misunderstand her own feelings, and this has happened to Sister Isabella and Sister Tina!"
"At the same time, knowing that the other person has mistaken her identity and thinks of her as the ‘former Lady of Light’, Master Lolth would not believe that the other person could have feelings for her. Any kindness or affection shown would be subconsciously seen by Master Lolth, who dislikes trouble, as recognition or sympathy due to her ‘former saintess’ identity."
"Most importantly, this misunderstanding of identity may prevent the Lady of Light, even if she realizes her feelings, from taking that step – loving a succubus could be seen as ‘falling’, but loving her senior offers no excuses."
"Also, even if Master Lolth realizes the other person’s feelings first, she would know that the affection is not for her true self, but for the nonexistent Lolth as the ‘former saintess’, making it impossible for her to accept those feelings."
As she spoke, a knowing smile naturally appeared on Kanor’s face.
"So, Sister Dorothy, just this one misunderstanding has provided double assurance for both the Lady of Light and Master Lolth…"
"The God of Light’s ‘divine favor’ is already full of troubles, making it very unsuitable for Master Lolth. As long as this misunderstanding is maintained, she will have no chance to continue in this competition."
"I even sent a turtle to sneak into her bedroom to keep an eye on her movements… Don’t worry, Sister Dorothy. Since this ‘rival’ came because of me, I will handle it for you."
Dorothy looked at Kanor in front of her, and her eyes couldn’t help but get a bit moist.
"Martial Sister Kanor…"
In the past ten years, she had never been treated with such care and dedication by anyone.
The feeling of being supported so firmly by someone… is truly wonderful!
In the long hallway, Dorothy stopped in her tracks.
Then, she slightly bent down and embraced the serious-looking, little Martial Sister Kanor.
"Thank you, elder martial sister. No matter if I can win Teacher Lolth’s heart in the end… the time spent striving together with you is already very precious to me."
Feeling Dorothy’s sudden embrace, Kanor was momentarily stunned.
"Ah… um…"
She gently patted Kanor’s back with her small hand.
"Don’t say sad things, Sister Dorothy, you will definitely win."
Kanor said softly but with great determination.
Then, a confused voice came from behind the two.
"What’s going on? Why are you two encouraging each other?"
"It’s nothing. Just take the surprise test as it comes; there’s no need to make it too formal!"
Kanor and Dorothy heard the sound and, feeling nervous, slowly released their hug and looked back together.
"Teacher Lolth… what brings you here!"
At this moment, only Lolth herself was still thinking about the surprise test.
Lolth, standing behind the two, lifted her chin slightly to show the tray she was holding.
"While making a late-night snack, I thought about what to make, and before I knew it, I ended up preparing a meal for The Church of Light… Then I thought, since I’ve made the meal, why not let the two true church members take a look as well, so I brought it over!"
