Although he didn't know who was taking care of whom, Ryan chuckled and nodded, then continued to ask.
"By the way, you don't feel uncomfortable staying here, right?"
"No."
Asia's expression was not gloomy at all, she smiled sincerely and shook her head.
"When I first learned that we were in the 'Underworld', I was a little uneasy... I wondered if a mere human like me could fit in here. But everyone was very welcoming. The maid, the devil soldier, Shirone, and Kuroka all accepted me."
Asia, who was ostracized everywhere in the human world and even expelled after becoming a "witch", felt very warm because everyone treated her as not an "aliens" here.
It seems that I really have a sense of belonging to home.
"Mr. Ryan."
Having said that, Asia looked up, and her emerald green eyes that seemed to shine brighter than any expensive gemstones stared at the black-haired young man with a smile full of innocence and tenderness that could relieve one's heart.
"Thank you so much for taking me in."
"No need to thank me."
Ryan raised his hand and touched Asia's little head, smiling and saying, "If you really want to thank someone, you should thank yourself. After all, it is your kind heart without any prejudice that touched me."
In response to Ryan's praise, Asia smiled shyly.
"As expected..."
"What?"
Ryan blinked his red eyes in confusion.
"Mr. Ryan is a very remarkable person."
Asia looked at Ryan with longing eyes.
"I've always heard that the 'Underworld' is a chaotic place of war, but when I actually came here, I found that it was not the case. However, but I think the "underworld" was full of chaos before., but it was changed by Mr. Ryan, right? So, I think you are a very remarkable and kind devil king."
"I'm not actually kind, Asia."
Ryan shrugged and said calmly.
"Rather, I am essentially the same as the original devils, or rather, a collection of malice that is completely superior to them."
It's not an empty statement.
Ryan is now essentially evil, absolutely evil.
The underworld that Asia saw was nothing more than a product of the underworld being submerged under the might of the Devil King, "Absolute Evil".
The so-called "kindness" is just a disguise.
"Even if that's true, at least in my heart, you are the kindest and noblest being."
Even so, the respect in the blonde nun's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Haha~ You really are my favorite person."
Looking at Asia with an innocent expression, Ryan felt that his trip was not in vain, and he liked this little nun more and more.
"Mmmmm…"
Being told words that were equivalent to a confession again, the innocent little nun blushed with embarrassment.
However, she still clasped her hands together and thanked him devoutly.
"My God... Thank you for letting me meet Mr. Ryan. Please don't mind Mr. Ryan's identity and give him your blessing."
"That's not right, Asia."
Ryan interrupted Asia's prayer in a calm voice.
"...Huh? Did I, did I say something wrong?"
Asia asked with an uneasy look on her face.
"I have said before that the god you mentioned will not protect me. Rather, if he saw me, he would probably come directly to eliminate me, the 'absolute evil'."
Ryan said this, looking at the blonde nun seriously and asking her to tell the truth.
"Also, your god actually disappeared a long time ago."
"——Hahh!!!?"
Ryan's words made Asia stunned for a moment, and then she made a surprised sound.
Seeing this, Ryan calmly explained to her the truth about the 'God of the Bible' he already died in the three-tribe war.
"This, this…"
After learning the truth, Asia was at a loss.
After all, the god they served had already died. No matter which nun was, she would not be able to accept this.
It is precisely because of his death that the people who suffered, including Asia, were not saved by the "God of the Bible" who favored humans.
"The god, the god is dead...then, then our prayers..."
Seeing the golden-haired nun's dejected look, Ryan stroked her head and comforted her softly.
"Well, since the old master is gone, you can also worship the new master and pray to him. Even the devil of the underworld will also grant salvation and protection to the loyal, right?"
"…Hmm."
Ryan was not in a hurry for Asia to accept him immediately. There was plenty of time, so he could just take it slow.
Later, as the night deepened, Asia, who had been playing with Baiyin for the whole day, gradually became sleepy. Before she knew it, she had leaned on the black-haired young man's shoulder and fell asleep during the conversation.
Ryan picked it up her gently, walked towards Shirone and Kuroka's room, and placed it in the middle of the two cat sisters.
Glancing at the three sleeping girls, Ryan smiled slightly.
[Ding---]
At this time, the system reminder sounded.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission - Redemption of the Holy Maiden (rescue the devout nun who was stigmatized as a 'witch' from disaster) and receiving a reward of 2% of the template progress! - Host, do you accept it now?!]
"Accept it."
[Ding! Accepted successfully, Current rate of progress 52%!']
Another hidden task has been completed. It seems that running around can really bring unexpected surprises.
