Within the confounds of his mind, the Father of the instituted Egyptian Orthodox Church arises from his trance. His eyes scan the room as if trying to deduct how much time had passed before his eyes eventually land on those of a silver-eyed girl.
"Hibiki…!"
"Father Isaac, you're awake!" The girl says jumping up for joy. As she holds this happy expression, the silver ankh she had carried in her hand suddenly snaps and implodes.
"Oh darn it! There goes my gift to Onee-Sama…" Hibiki says, her mood now sunken down to a more gloomy state. The priest stands up, regaining his composure before looking over at the small girl.
"What happened to everyone? Tell me what's going on. " Issac asks very concerningly. He usually holds a very serious complexion, but in this instant, his eyes show an immense amount of fear and compassion for his comrades.
"Things aren't looking so good, Onee-Sama woke up first to go fight Greed, and then sister Silvia woke up slightly after in pursuit of her." The priest's eyes seem to calm down for a moment.
"I see, though things got a bit hasty, it seems everything is going the way it should be…" The priest says, seemingly letting all the prior stress he accumulated leave his body.
"What! How can you say that? Things are getting way out of hand, Father Issac, we need to go do our best to support Onee-Sama and sister Silvia." The priest returns the sister's gaze before answering.
"Sister Hibiki, I can understand your fear of the situation, but please do not let your emotions get the better of you. Never forget, we are members of the Egyptian Orthodox Church, and we do not condone acts of violence. With that said, you must never let your heart falter, especially in situations like this. Or could it be that you are at a loss of Faith?" The sister is left stunned by the Priest's explanation. Ever since she was born, she had always stuck by her beliefs and her faith. But things are different now, she can't simply wait on the sidelines while her Onee-Sama is out there fighting a battle she may not win.
"I'm sorry father Issac, but if you won't interfere, then that doesn't mean I can't!" The sister says, immediately turning around, preparing to leave. But before she gets a chance to, the priest calls out to her.
"Hibiki, don't do anything foolish. But if you insist on going out there, take this!" As he says this, the priest throws an Ankh of his own in the sister's direction.
"Is this…" As she gazes over the jewelry that landed on her palms, she grips it tight before turning once again to run out the church's doors.
"Thank you, father!" Hibiki can be heard screaming back. As the Priest remains within the Church's closing doors, he can't help but feel a ping of regret within his heart.
Back in the city, Wendy is still left at a loss on how to deal with Greed. The monster is only progressively increasing in size, as it's consuming the greed of various civilians in the city. The people in the said city are causing chaos wherever they go, stealing and consuming their strongest desires from each other. Though she's not affected by the sin's influence any longer, Wendy can still hear it, the calamity spreading through her hometown. People robbing and hurting one another, doing things they would never find the heart to do otherwise, all being consumed by their greed. In an attempt to stop this monster from polluting the city any further, she asks for the aid of the spirits once again.
The blue spirits swarm across her city, as she focuses on her mind, meditating on the spot as she had done in the temple. During this very battle, her spiritual connection has risen once again. This time she's able to extend her spirits radar across the majority of the infected city. As the spirits hover over the various individuals under their haze, their mere presence is enough to bring them back to reality and force them out of their hallucinations. In coming to their senses, the various group of people register the incoming chaos of the situation and attempt to run for their lives
"Graaaah~" The monster in the sky is seen stirring up in his floating position, seemingly angered by the recent transgression.
"I see… You're mad, aren't you? With just a little push, I'm able to prove you wrong once again." The woman says with her hair covering her eyes.
"Yes, there are times when we'll be consumed by greed, it's only natural. We all want something in this life, and we all want desperately to attain it, but that doesn't mean we'll let that fall short of who we really are. Yes, we are greedy, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, it's fine to be greedy as long as we restrain ourselves from hurting others in the process. That's what you demons don't understand, you lack compassion, apathy." In response to this, the demon charges another laser from its mouth and shoots it directly at the girl. Wendy can dodge this blow, along with incoming others. She begins charging her energy, though not having any place to focus is leaving her at a loss.
"I can still hear all the pain you've caused through the spirits, but not just that, I can hear her too!" As she says this, the spirits surrounding the city follow a white-clouded nun in pursuit of the location of the most recent explosion. Her footsteps can be heard echoing in the distance as the girl in question runs straight into the line of fire, not paying any mind to her safety.
"I just need to get a bit closer!" Hibiki thinks of this as the spirits around her setting a path for her forward. After a few moments of running, Wendy is seen coming into her line of vision. She edges closer and closer as the demonic figure starts stirring up even more frustration in the sky.
"Gaaaah! I won't lose! I can't lose to some fucking G-Girl!" This loud screech causes Wendy to smirk. As the demon charges one more giant green ball of energy to be shot from its mouth, it prepares to eradicate the girl where she stands.
"You're right, I am just a girl…" Wendy says while charging a swarm of flaming blue spirit energy around her. At the same time, not being able to reach Wendy in time, Hibiki decides the best course of action is to throw the silver Ankh in her imminent vicinity.
"But that's not all… I'll show you MY TRUE POWER!" Wendy says, her overflowing spirit energy taking full effect as the ankh reaches her line of vision. Impulsively, and without any hesitation, she punches the Ankh with every last inch of her being. The Ankh then Shockingly absorbs the accumulated Spirit Magic, Concentrating into a ball of flaming blue energy, and shoots her own super-sonic laser toward the inflated Demon. The Green beam is met with a clash, as Wendy's energy beam meets it at a standstill in the middle of the sky. The energy beams clash for a moment before Wendy's shining blue energy overpowers the latter. Now consuming the dark blue energy, the demon is left helpless as the blue energy bean completely consumes its size. After a few seconds of the blinding blue light covering the sky, the demon that once invaded the clouds was turned to nothing but ash.
"Good… riddance." Wendy pants out as her blue aura drops in its magnitude, the smoke from the explosion covers the sky, and the blue energy that was dispelled from the attack dispenses across the city, completely eradicating the effects of Greed. This causes the victor to feel her efforts had earned her enough reason to reward herself by collapsing onto the pavement below her.
"Onee-Sama!" Hibiki says, now finally catching up to the collapsed woman. Wendy, with what little strength she has, looks up at the paranoid nun.
"Don't worry, I'm fine! Just a bit tired is all." Wendy says, mustering up a smile.
"Thank goodness!"Hibiki says with tears forming in her eyes. The pair continue to smile at each other when they notice Sister Silvia running up to them.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"There you two are! That monster was getting way too big! But I see you were able to stop him somehow…" Silvia says as she examines the situation. She then looks over to Hibiki before continuing.
"I see you couldn't help but get yourself involved, Hibiki." The girl in question suddenly sports a crimson blush on her face.
"Well of course! I couldn't just let my Onee-Sama fight all by herself!" The Older sister smiles at this before knocking the girl lightly on the head.
"Whatever you say." The two girls share a laugh before the book the older one was holding is suddenly consumed by a green aura, after a few moments of what seems to revolve stirring, the book calms down.
"I see, so it did end up sealing it then," Silvia says, as her assumption seems to be solidified.
"We had better get her back to the church so she may heal, we'll have to deal with a lot of the backlash of today's events, so the sooner we return to the church the better," Silvia says, staring at the two girls in front of her.
"Hai!" Says Hibiki as she brings her hand up her head in a salute-like manner. Wendy, on the other hand, closes her eyes in peace while still laying on the ground. Now happy that the hard part was over, she attempts to rest her mind in hopes that Greed was the worst of the sins to come.
Within the confines of the Egyptian Orthodox Church's Tokyo location, four girls can be seen taking a bath in the cathedral's bathing quarters. Steam covers the corners of the room as soap bubbles float in the air, and the sound of various scrubbing motions ensues as the members of the church attempt to recover from the recent battle.
"Seriously, how did I end up here anyways," Wendy says out loud, taking in her surroundings once again.
"Wait do you mean, Onee-Sama?" Hibiki interjects, sitting right beside Wendy as she scrubs a cloth filled with bathing soap on her arm. Wendy does the same, and after a moment she proceeds to use the handheld shower to rinse herself clean.
"It's just I'm not used to showering with other people. And why does a church have such a big bathhouse within it anyway!" Wendy says, as the two individuals to her left, pique their interest in the topic.
"This cathedral was only built recently, the construction had been laid out on top of an old onsen inn that went out of business a few years ago. This is actually the first Church under our Denomination we were able to open in Japan."
"Silvia interjects, still carrying her glasses on her face within the bathhouse, scrubbing away like the others.
"Ho ho ho~ With how you carry yourself usually, one would think you'd be far above feeling humility to your nude body!" Wendy grew a vein on the side of her cheek before biting back.
"I didn't say I was embarrassed, I just said I'm not used to it!" Wendy says this while hearing the arrogant sisters laughing echo the bathhouse.
"Be that as it may, Women who go around showing their bodies to the public are often the most abashed when it comes to their actual figure. For instance, I would never wear such tight and revealing clothing to entice onlookers because I already know I have a body that would knock any guy out of the park." Silvia says referring to her moderately small bust size.
"You shouldn't even be thinking like that, you're a nun after all," Silvia interjects before the girls are interrupted by the smallest of the group.
"That is ridiculous! Yes, Onee-Sama may wear revealing clothing here and there, but that doesn't mean she has low confidence, she simply is proud to showcase her amazing body to the world!" Wendy closes her eyes, scrubbing away and trying to tune out the current conversation.
"Amazing body? You give that girl too much credit Hibiki."
"But it's true! I mean just look!" Once Hibiki says this, abruptly grabs Wendy's breast from behind. Not realizing the girl had all but sneaked up behind her, Wendy's eyes jolted open in shock.
"Hibiki! Where do you think you're touching!" Wendy says in a flustered tone. The girl in question pays her no mind, however, as her hand circles around the maiden's breath in a circular manner.
"Oh wow… they're a lot softer than I thought they'd be," Hibiki says as she continues her fondling. Wendy can be seen panting, and letting out a few moans. Hibiki, who had never grabbed a pair of breasts before, was surprisingly gifted at her skill. She squeezes and rubs them up and down, her fingers reaching the soft poked-out end on the breast's tips, and gives them a soft pinch.
"Haaaa~"
"Oh! So even Onee-Sama is capable of letting out such an enticing sound~" Hibiki says before turning her head over to the appalled Gilda, who had never suspected the smaller sister to be capable of committing such a sexual act.
"You see Gilda, she may be Modest, but Onee-Sama has a perfect and beautiful form that no person could truly resist!" After proudly declaring this, Hibiki is suddenly hit with a furious chop to the head, having her land straight on her butt.
"Knock it off already!" Wendy yells after reclining her fist back to her slide. The pair of sisters to her left hold different expressions. The older of the two seems unaffected by the events that transpired. The other one on the other hand holds a more bashful and bewildered expression.
"Don't you think you were a bit too hard on her? Silvia asks, scrubbing her hair with soap.
"I have no sympathy for perverts," Wendy says, deciding to finish her bathing routine. To her right, an unconscious Hibiki is seen mumbling to herself as floating spirits begin circling her head. After the girls complete their showers, they can all be seen walking into the shared changing room in their bathrobes. The pair of sisters are each taking care of their feminine needs, one blow drying her hair while the latter applies various lotions on her skin.
"So how did you end up defeating Greed, Miss Wendy?" Silvia asks as she takes a moment to look over at the blue-haired girl, who was taking a moment to view something on her phone.
"Oh, that? Let me recall, I had lost my sword after he used his abilities to fling it across the city, so I remember I needed something to concentrate all my energy towards." As she says this, she turns over to look at the sleeping Sister leaning on her shoulder.
"And then I remembered something Father Issac had told me when I arrived this morning." The scene changes to when Wendy had first arrived at the church's gates in the morning, upon arrival she can see the tall Priest watering some flowers before turning his head to greet her.
"Good Morning Miss Wendy."
"Good Morning! How are you, today father?" She asks rather enthusiastically. The father shows a light smile on his face before replying.
"I'm doing fine this morning, thank you… Hmm." Wendy blinks twice at his sudden perplexed expression.
"Is something the matter?"
"No nothing. It's just, I thought you'd be wearing it."
"Wearing what?' Wendy asks, honestly not having any clue what the Father is speaking of.
"Oh it's really not my business to tell, Hibiki had seemed very excited to deliver it to you is all, she probably didn't have a chance to yet." After hearing this, Wendy is left with a blank on what the spunky little nun was enticing to give to her.
"Now come on in, we have a lot of things planned for today," Issac says, beckoning Wendy through the Church's doors.
"And that's that!" Silvia doesn't seem satisfied yet, so she proceeds to interject a bit more.
"Forgive me, but I don't see how that helped in your victory against Greed."
"Oh well like I said, I needed something to concentrate my firepower, and it turned out what Hibiki had wanted to give me was an Ankh. It all happened so quickly, but during the last moments of the battle, my mind quickly concluded that this ankh was a holy artifact, similar to her white dress. And since her dress can withhold a vast amount of spirit magic, I thought the ankh would be no different." Silvia Takes in this information before nodding her head.
"I see, so you used the Ankh she provided to concentrate your power and destroy the demon with a beam of condensed spirit energy."
"Spirit FLASH!" The girl's conversation is brought to a halt when the presumably sleeping sister suddenly bursts out and screams the phrase out loud.
"Oh, you're awake," Wendy says, not paying any mind to the vigor, comic book-sounding name the sister just spotted.
"In any case, you really came at the knick of time back there, I owe you one Hibiki," Wendy says, smiling at the younger girl. Hibiki, still a bit tired from her recent nap, takes a moment to register what the older woman had to say, but once the realization hits her, her signature blush springs across her face.
"Me! Oh no no don't worry about it Onee-Sama! You're the one who did all the heavy lifting! I just wanted to provide some support for you all!" Silvia interrupts this exchange to put it n her own words.
"In any case, you do have a talent for showing up to places at the right time, not just today but back in Cairo you did a lot to help retrieve the kidnappee as well." Gilda then takes her turn to speak up.
"Yes, I heard about that too, for someone who's not even a demigoddess you have been pulling your weight as of recently!" The girl is shocked by the recent remarks of approval from her fellow sisters. Her eyes look down to the corner of the room as she attempts to conceal her blush.
"Oh jeez… thank you two, but I'm not…" Wendy looks directly at the smaller girl, as she examines her red face, she concludes that she must not be used to receiving such praise. Feeling a new sense of pride overtake her, Wendy brings her hand forward and places it on the young sister's head.
"You've done well today, Hibiki.'' Now reaching her limit, the sister can be seen fuming with smoke from her head, her skin shining as red as an apple as she stumbles over herself.
"O-o-onee-Sama!" These are the last words she can be heard saying before passing out once again.
"Wow, she got so excited she passed out," Gilda says, being shocked one too many times today.
"I'll carry her back to her room, you have a goodnight then." The pair of sisters bid their farewell to the friendly goddess who's seen carrying the sister in her arms to escort her back to her room.
"They look pretty cute together, Don't you think Sister?" Silvia says, grabbing onto a towel by the dresser. The pair stare at the exit, as Gilda takes a moment to take in the events that have transpired during this long day.
"Yes, I suppose so~"
