BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 114 – Mysterious Girl
To be honest, I didn\'t know anything about this Ertha, even when back in the Sins Paradise game.
When Sana told me about her, she mentioned her name and rank as a Bishop. Her appearance, face, age, hair color, and the others were still a mystery to me. Especially when Sana said she trusted this one to the point of leaving her with the command of a church.
But because the characters in Sins Paradise were too many to count, I probably just forgot about one or many characters.
Not all of them had a different disposition. Most of them were plain, only strong at one point, and didn\'t appear again in the late game.
"H-Hello! I-It\'s nice to meet you!"
Some characters had something that made them stand out. For example, Sana with her skimpy and erotic outfit; Rania with her masochistic tendency: Emilia with her high sexual drive; and Eliza with her tsundere behavior.
"My name is Ertha Castitas!"
Those characters or people were just unforgettable, especially when they had an important role in the main story of Sins Paradise. And they usually stayed around their initial location and wouldn\'t move even though the world was in danger.
\'She\'s Ertha?\'
I could get no real signature object from her except for her blue hair, which was usually connected to the family members or relatives of the Virtue Kingdom Royal Family, and those huge tits hanging on her chest.
Her black blindfold was actually also pretty common among female Bishops in the Castitas Church. Usually, those who wore blindfolds had committed a sin they, themselves, couldn\'t forgive. So as a way to atone for their Sins, they took their own sight.
And she, the Bishop called Ertha, I had never heard of her. It was strange, considering she had those huge tits, which were even bigger than Garcia\'s, a half-succubus. The only character I knew with those huge tits was the Pope.
\'No way, right?\'
The Pope had lustrous golden hair and a white blindfold covering her eyes. She was in the church in Holy City located near the Capital City in the opposite direction of Academy City.
And so, when she stood in front of me, I used \'Requirement Appraisal\' on her. I noticed her body jolted a little, looking at me with widened eyes and holding her hands nervously. She had the skill to detect appraisal, huh?
Well, the fact she didn\'t ask anything means she didn\'t mind that I appraised her. And the result was… fascinating.

I wanted to shout, \'What the fuck is this shit?!\' But I held back and smiled softly at her. A Holy Maiden? I had never heard of something like this back in the game. And the fact her description was so simple seemed to say that she had nothing much on her besides her job.
However, her description was ominous. Sending souls back to Goddess\' side? Was her job similar to an executioner? And her race was Half-Angel… This was concerning. The description that called her \'one of holy bodies\' also made me curious.
Also, remember that this was an easy requirement. I needed to dominate a primordial Succubus as the requirement to dominate this Ertha, which was totally impossible without my Domination System.
\'What the hell is she?\'
One thing I knew was… Sana sent a troublesome woman to take care of the Duchy. The fact she sent an \'executioner\', as I called it, was probably because she wanted to take care of Jasper.
"It\'s nice to meet you, Ertha. I am Arthur Vainglory."
I greeted her as I stretched my right hand toward her. She tilted her head for a second before jolting when I said. "Handshake."
I almost forgot that not all people could feel their surroundings clearly with a blindfold like me. I was in this state for so long after I reached Level Max in Horizon Online and got a passive skill to heighten my senses.
Then, with a clumsy movement, she extended her hands. I took them, and she smiled widely.
"I-It\'s an honor to meet you, Your Holiness Sir Paladin!" An excited voice rang from her as she shook my hand full of energy.
Somehow, she was energetic yet shy and clumsy at the same time—an enigma of a personality that got jumbled together.
I wanted to put her in a similar category to Mia, but… after I heard what that green-haired maid muttered inside my room, I couldn\'t face her again in the last few days.
I meant… yandere was fine and all, but having yourself targeted still felt a bit uncomfortable. I knew she acted like that because I spoiled her and she liked me, but I still couldn\'t face her before making sure she was 100% safe.
The reason was… I had a bad experience with a bad yandere back in Horizon Online. Hell no, I would approach them without making sure they were safe. Sophia was proved to be safe, and the Princess was a flat 100% psycho.
Hopefully, Ertha\'s clumsy and shy personality wasn\'t mixed with a yandere too. Not that we would talk for too long as we would part ways later, but I bid the knights and nuns luck taking care of Ertha.
"You must be tired from your trip." I retracted my hand and smiled softly. "For now, why don\'t we enter and talk inside? The nuns have already prepared some drinks and food for us to talk about handing you the job of supervising the church."
"Food?!" Ertha exclaimed happily. I swore I could see some stars floating around her. "Gladly! Let\'s talk about my new job inside, Your Holiness Sir Paladin! I promise I will be able to do my job properly!"
"Hahaha, you don\'t need to say that to me." I laughed and scratched my cheek. "I am not responsible for this church. You should say that to the knight captain, Gerald. He will be the one to help you get used to this place."
"It\'s nice to meet you, Bishop Ertha. My name is Gerald."
The knight captain saluted behind me.
Ertha looked at him and smiled.
"It\'s nice to meet you too, Sir Gerald. I am still inexperienced, so please teach me about everything in this church."
"Yes." Gerald nodded at her.
Looking at her, it didn\'t seem she could feel the surrounding area with some skill.
\'At least she\'s not completely blind herself with the blindfold.\'
With the introduction over, we went inside the church and talked about what Ertha should do as a supervisor of the church before the main church sent another Archbishop to replace Jasper.
It was only a temporary position for her, but she seemed to take her job seriously.
Besides her strange description and a ridiculous amount of Sins to dominate her, it seemed like her personality was that of a hard-working girl who needed support from other people due to her shortfall of being able to see.
Sana really sent a good person fit for the job this time.
As for what she would do next, to be honest, I didn\'t really care. She could send Jasper to the Goddess, but I reminded Ertha not to do anything with the Duke except wash over his Sins. Also, I told her to make use of black-haired boy to the best of her ability.
That protagonist was already broken beyond rescue. Might as well make use of him, as he would be obedient to Beatrice.
The blue-haired Bishop answered positively without asking for anything. Ertha also promised to do her best to meet my expectations, although I didn\'t put any expectation at all on her. She could even burn this church down as long as she didn\'t hurt my reputation.
With that case over, I was now free to go to my next destination with my girls.
