The Extra's Indifference

After whistling for 5 minutes later, the priestess agreed to my request to take the basement as my room. Though with some conditions.

"There are rooms that you shouldn't go in no matter what. if you enter them even I don't know what will happen to you."

"May I ask the reason for this?"

"You can but I don't know the reason. Our lady herself told us to don't enter there. And some of the idiots didn't listen our lady's words and they didn't come back after entering these rooms."

'Are there something powerful resides in these rooms or maybe traps that protect some knowledge or artifacts? Though asking this to the Ilelia would be more ideal instead of entering there or guessing like this.'

"It can't be helped then. Mark that rooms so that I don't go in them by mistake."

"By the way, my intuition tells me that we will meet again many times. So, let us introduce ourselves properly." I said with a small smile and gestured to her.

The priestess nodded understanding and bowed slightly.

"I am Indra, I don't have a surname. I am just a humble believer and bishop of our lady."

'Isn't the name Indra, too cool for this priestess?' I thought and looked at Indra again.

'Nope, Indra doesn't suit her at all. I would say that Anabel or Adela would be more suit her, as she is mature looking, blonde haired woman with deep blue eyes.'

"I am Kayle Ceurie. I was just an assistant of my goddess but as you know I became her saint over the night, please take care of me while I am inexperienced in religious stuff, as I am not a very religious person." I said with a polite smile and brought my hand for a handshake.

Indra bowed more, grabbed my hand gently, and kissed the back of my hand gently.

'Is this religious thing or is this woman a pervert too?' I thought while watching this interesting sight.

After kissing the back of my hand, Indra straighten her back and looked at me with a smile.

"I don't know when this tradition appeared but kissing the back of the saint's hand is our way to show our loyalty. As the saint is chosen by our lady, we wouldn't mind this show of loyalty."

'Probably some arrogant or pervert saint established this absurd tradition. Though, maybe I can use this to make them feel closer to me if I use this right.'

"I understand." I said and nodded.

"Where can I communicate with my goddess? As of right now, I have too many questions."

"Let me guide you to the divine altar of our lady. If my lady wants to speak with you, she will surely communicate at the altar." Indra said and continued to speak.

"Fortunately for you, our lady's divine altar is in the basement, which you took as your room."

'Why the fuck a divine altar is in a basement?'

"Can I know the reason why is the divine altar in the basement?"

"Because we couldn't move it from there." Indra said answered plainly.

'So they couldn't move it huh? Is the altar too heavy hence they couldn't move it from there or is it a magical thing like a sword stuck in the stone? Probably it is a magical thing rather than physical weight.' I thought and continued to walk in the plain corridors while following Indra.

We arrived in front of an ancient looking black metal door.

I looked at Indra for her to open it and she took out a pendant from between her breasts.

The pendant was made of gold with red crystal in its center.

'Probably solid blood instead of liquid.' I thought.

Indra pressed the red crystal to the entrance of the black metal door and the door opened.

After opening the door, Indra gave the pendant to me and took a step back.

"This will be your room as you wanted and this pendant is the key to this room."

"Do you have 1 more key? I need to give a key to my maid." I asked without any shame.

"I will bring it to you later. For now go talk with our lady."

After saying this, Indra turned her back and disappeared into the darkness of the long, plain corridors.

I pushed the dark doors and stepped inside.

I found myself in a very large and almost empty room except for its center.

On the sides of the room there were many doors. I assumed them the forbidden doors that I shouldn't enter.

'I don't know why but I think these doors contain some criminals or something close to that. Probably that is the reason no one came back from there. They must have been killed by the criminals or couldn't exit from the door again.' I thought and looked at the divine altar of the Ilelia.

Surprisingly altar was very big, big enough for an average mana titan to lie on it easily.

(An average mana titan is about 20-25 meters.)

There was a huge woman statue in front of the altar and she was holding 2 moons in her left hand while her right hand was holding some sort of book.

Statue was well made and because of that, I understood with 1 glance that it was Ilelia's statue. Though this statue couldn't fully reflect the beauty of Ilelia and her heavenly thighs.

'From what I know, gods don't show themselves to the world but it seems Ilelia showed herself or maybe this statue is too old that it was made even when Ilelia was still mortal.'

'Probably latter as she has no wings on her back in this statue.'

'Anyway, should I contact Ilelia or not? She made me a saint overnight without asking me, so maybe I can play hard to get.'

'Being a Saint is a horribly dangerous job, as other churches, nobles, and even some royalties will try to kill me to reduce the power of the Church of Ilelia.'

'What was she really thinking when making me her saint? She pitied me and made me a saint but this put me to the target list of many people, which is bad. They can try to kill me or the people who are on my side.'

'If they kill Aria, I would lose my very comfortable pillow and very convenient maid that who does whatever I want. If they kill Lucy, I would lose my means to lift my curse. If they kill Alicia…'

'Nope, they can kill Alicia if they want it, I don't have any particular way to use her other than for combat but I don't think anyone will kill her as she is the daughter of the Duke Ashtorn.'

'Though maybe I can use her family assets I don't think she can decide this by herself. I think I need to sign a contract with her or just brainwash her to listen to every of my orders.'

'Should I make her slave of pleasure that will do anything for me?'

'Well, I think I shouldn't think this in front of the Ilelia's altar, maybe she can sense my intentions.'

'I think it is best to contact Ilelia, probably she made me her saint with a more profound intention other than just pity. If she did it just because of pity, I don't think we can even survive against the apocalypse with such an emotionally driven goddess.' I thought and smeared my blood to the divine altar of Ilelia.
