Chapter 44: The End of a Nun - 1

Kate offered a heartfelt prayer to the goddess Helia.

Perhaps it was the most fervently she had ever prayed in her life.

‘Something is wrong. So terribly wrong.’

At first, it had been jealousy.

She had spent her entire life in the convent, serving the goddess, yet she could neither hear the goddess’s voice nor perform miracles.

Meanwhile, Reina, who had come from a brothel, had learned to wield holy power in just a few years, become a senior nun, and even risen to become a candidate for sainthood.

‘It isn’t fair!’

If it had been any other field, she might have understood.

Talent existed, after all. In that case, Kate would have vaguely accepted the difference in talent.

But there was no such thing as talent when it came to serving the goddess.

It was simply a matter of who had served the goddess longer and who had upheld the doctrine more perfectly.

That was why, to Kate, a nun was the very embodiment of patience.

Yet Reina’s very existence was denying everything Kate had lived for.

‘That bitch lost her virginity just like I did. So why can she wield holy power?’

Reina seemed as though she had been chosen by the goddess, and Kate resented it bitterly.

She prayed with that resentment in her heart, but once again, the goddess did not answer her prayers.

"I should never have become a nun."

Kate stopped praying and wept endlessly, her face utterly blank with despair.

Creak.

Just then, someone came into the confessional.

‘Who?’

Kate had never been close to any of the other nuns, since her behavior had always left much to be desired.

She had thought no one would ever come to the confessional for her, so the unexpected visitors caught her off guard.

"You look like hell."

"Sister Kate, have you been well?"

"Y-you two?"

The visitors before her were Ian and Reina, the very people responsible for reducing her to this state.

The sight of them made Kate spew her anger.

"What nerve do you have showing your faces here?!"

"Looks like she really has lost her mind."

"I know. It breaks my heart, Sister Kate."

"Shut up! I’m not crazy. I’m not crazy! I saw it with my own eyes! The two of you fucking each other like filthy animals!"

"Then go tell Vanessa yourself. Tell her, ‘I wasn’t raped. I had consensual sex. I willingly threw away my virginity.’"

"Ugh..."

Kate could not say a word in response to Ian’s point.

Just as he said, she could not deny the fact that she had given up her virginity of her own accord.

"I-I couldn’t help it then! I was suffering too!"

Reina, the target of her jealousy, gained everyone’s recognition with each passing day.

Meanwhile, despite having been a nun longer than Reina, Kate could not properly wield holy power, much less perform miracles.

Some nuns had even begun looking down on her behind her back.

When she was emotionally at her lowest, Daevon came to comfort her, and Kate lost her heart to him.

He was handsome, and he said exactly what she wanted to hear.

And so, eventually, they ended up fucking.

Of course, she regretted it immediately.

For the sake of receiving a little comfort, she had thrown away the virginity that mattered most to a nun.

If she had protected her virginity then, she would never have ended up in such dire straits.

"You know better than anyone that the Church of the Sun isn’t forgiving enough to understand that."

"Ah..."

Ian’s final blow made Kate collapse where she stood.

Then she asked in a hollow voice,

"What do you want from me?"

Kate might have lacked ability as a nun, but she was not stupid.

She understood perfectly well that Ian and Reina held her leash.

"Who knows? I don’t want anything from you."

Ian had come to see Kate only to confirm whether she knew her place.

Fortunately, she seemed to have grasped the situation.

In that case, he saw no need to give her any more attention.

But this time, he chose to consider Reina, who had helped him.

After all, she was the one directly entangled with Kate.

"Reina, what do you want to do? This woman tried to ruin you."

"That’s true."

Reina pondered Ian’s question for a moment before walking over to Kate.

"Why did you report me, Sister Kate?"

"Because I hate you."

"Why do you hate me?"

"You call that a question?"

Kate stared at Reina’s question in disbelief.

"I wasn’t the only one who hated you. Everyone in the convent hated you. You got so easily what we worked our entire lives for. You have no idea, do you? How viciously we cursed you behind your back. They might act like they like you, but inside, they’re all cursing you too."

A host of emotions was tangled within Kate’s outburst.

Even Ian, an outsider, could sense how intensely she envied and despised Reina.

Yet Reina let out a sigh of relief at Kate’s answer.

"Phew. I thought Sister Kate hated me because I had done something wrong. I’m glad that isn’t the case."

"What?!"

Kate was left speechless by Reina’s genuinely relieved expression.

Reina acted as if Kate did not matter to her at all, and all the strength drained from Kate’s body.

"So I was the only one who was serious. I was the only fool."

Her emotions bursting free, Kate began to cry.

Reina took her hand.

"It’s all right. Sister Kate, you’re a victim of an irrational doctrine too. So please don’t blame yourself."

"I’m not blaming myself!"

"It was hard, wasn’t it? You were lonely, weren’t you? You feel suffocated, and sick to your stomach, don’t you?"

"That’s enough. Stop it."

"I understand. I was like that too."

Faced with Reina’s continued encouragement, Kate wore a conflicted expression.

"What the hell do you want from me?"

"Your salvation, Sister Kate."

"What, salvation? Are you fucking kidding me? You’re the one who put me in this state."

"I’m not joking."

Looking directly into Kate’s eyes, Reina spoke of her convictions.

"I think the doctrine of the Church of the Sun is wrong. Goddess Helia is the one who taught us to spread love, so preventing us, who follow her teachings, from loving is not in accordance with the goddess’s will."

"Are you serious? That’s heresy."

"No, it isn’t heresy. The Church of the Sun is the heresy. It has twisted Goddess Helia’s will."

Kate found Reina frightening.

Madness was slowly seeping into her eyes.

"Don’t worry too much, Sister Kate. Ian will teach you what real love is."

But by the time Kate realized what that meant, it was already too late.

. . .

I had a feeling Reina would ask for something like that.

‘People inevitably have both love and hate for their family.’

Just as Isabelle still had lingering attachment to her family, Reina too still had lingering attachment to the nuns, who were practically her blood sisters.

‘Smart as Reina is, she must have noticed what was wrong with the Church of the Sun from what I told her.’

As religions inevitably became corrupt once they gained power, the Church of the Sun too had gradually lost its meaning as a religion after it got a taste for the money brought in by indulgences.

This setting was detailed in the latter half of [A Lewd Nun’s Circumstances]. Because of the corruption of the Golden Pope, the Holy See had become a symbol of Calion’s decay.

Addressing that was the main storyline of [A Lewd Nun’s Circumstances], but given H Company’s nature, its ending could not escape being a bad ending.

You could say that ending had been set in stone from the moment Reina lost her virginity.

Of course, the story was different now because of me.

Not only had Reina not lost her holy power, but she was still a candidate for sainthood.

‘Still, to think she can even embrace the nun who tried to ruin her.’

In a sense, Reina possessed more than enough qualities to be a saintess.

"Love? W-what are you going to do?"

"Don’t worry, Sister Kate. Once Ian gets on top of you, you’ll squeal like a bitch in heat."

The problem was that she was lewd to an absurd degree.

"W-what does that mean? Are you trying to have a fellow nun raped?"

"Oh my, Sister Kate, you aren’t a virgin anyway. Ugh, I feel so sorry for you, Kate. To think you lost your virginity to a cock that wasn’t Ian’s. How could you possibly choose to lose your virginity to such a pathetic little dick?"

As though she truly pitied Kate, Reina approached her with tears welling in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Kate recoiled in horror and backed away.

"Stop! What if the other nuns see us? Then we’ll both be ruined!"

"It’s fine. No one is coming here anyway~"

Unable to escape in the end, Kate was seized by Reina.

"Sister Kate, hold still for a moment."

"N-no..."

"Ah, there. Done."

Having finished preparing her, Reina showed me the naked Kate and said,

"Ian, please. Fuck our Sister Kate."
