"Ugh…" I take a few staggering steps, utterly exhausted, as I reach a wall and slide down to sit on the floor.
"Isabel-sama!! Here are the potions you asked for!!" I hear a girl talking to the woman who manages this church.
"Thank you, Mikaela. Now, please go take care of the paperwork for me? We've had so many new faithful for Pandora!" She speaks a name that sends a chill down my spine. Meanwhile, Isabel walks over to me, crouching down to hand me a potion.
"Hi, you just arrived, right? You look hurt and worn out. Here, drink this potion!" She hands me a potion. I bite my lip, tears welling up. Why is that monster's church so kind? I don't understand.
"Th-Thank you…" I mutter my thanks, accepting the potion and drinking it. Not that it'll have much effect—nothing can cure me of those bugs living inside me.
"What's your name?" she asks, and I don't even try to hide anything.
