213. Surprise Encounter (2)

  *MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH*

  *Srrk srrk srrk*

  *MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH*

  Inside one of the rooms in a five-story apartment, someone is munching on potato chips while sitting on her sofa, watching TV.

  *CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH*

  This is a woman who’s been lazing around all day while eating nonstop.

  “(So bored. . . Yet this is my everyday life. . .)”

  She sits on the sofa with her head leaning against the backrest diagonally. She pulls her hand out from the inside of the potato chip’s plastic bag and grabs the remote with her dirty fingers. Even the remote itself is dirty from how often she grabs it with her chip-covered fingers.

  The woman has short bob brown hair with flat bangs. She has a pair of beautiful blue eyes. She wears a gray tracksuit all the time. Her hair is messy because she never combs it. The woman is 22 years old. She is 168cm tall and weighs around 71kg. She used to be slender and thin, but her body has started to fatten up, seeing the fat bulge on her belly, arms, thighs, and cheeks.

  “OOP!!”

  The woman suddenly closes her mouth with her right hand and immediately stands up from her sofa. She runs to the bathroom quickly and stops in front of the toilet.

  “HOOOOOEEEEKKK!!!”

  *SPLAT SPLAT*

  She suddenly pukes out a lot of the potato chips that she just ate.

  “HOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEKKKK!!!”

  *pant pant pant*

  “Urrgghh. . . My head hurts so much. . .”

  *pant pant pant*

  “Maybe seven bags of potato chips in one go is a no-go. Especially if that’s all I’ve been eating this past month. . .”

  *FLUSH*

  The woman flushes her toilet and goes back to her sofa. She stares blankly at a movie that she’s watching, but decides to turn the TV off.

  “Boring. I’ve watched that movie a hundred times by now. . .”

  . . . .

  “Guess it’s time to just watch porn and relieve myself again. . .”

  The woman stands up and walks to her bedroom.

  *CLAK*

  *!!!*

  She opens the door, expecting to have some alone time, but she is shocked when she sees that there are two strangers inside her room.

  *THUD*

  She falls on her butt in reflex.

  “W-w-w-w-w-w-w-who are youuuuu twoooo??”

  There were two women inside the room, and they were Leonna and Miyu.

  “Heyo! Sorry for intruding!” greets Leonna.

  “Uum, I apologize for entering your apartment without permission, but we’re here on important matters!”

  “W-w-w-w-w-w-wwhaaaatt?? I never did anything wrong in my life. . . What are you. . .?”

  Leonna walks towards the woman and crouches down to her level.

  “Miss! You’re deliberately trying to kill yourselves slowly, right?”

  *!!!!*

  “H-HUH?? What are you talking about? Why would I wanna die?? I still have lots of things that I wanna do in my life! PLEASE GET OUT OF MY ROOM, OR I’LL CALL THE POLICE!!”

  “But your phone is on this desk behind me!” said Miyu.

  “Tch!”

  Leonna grows two pairs of golden wings from her back.

  *!!!*

  “B-BELIEVERS?! WHAT BUSINESSES DO YOU HAVE WITH ME? I NEVER MESS WITH ANY BELIEVERS IN MY WHOLE LIFE!! PLEASE DON’T HURT ME!!”

  “*SIGH* I am not gonna hurt you! Though I hope this isn’t too painful!”

  *!!*

  “HIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?”

  Leonna clenches her right fist, and her lower right wing coils around it.

  “Say, what is hurting you a lot at the moment??”

  “H-Huh??”

  *BAAAMM*

  Leonna suddenly punches the woman in the head and knocks her out.

  *!!!!*

  “V-VELYNIA-SAN?!”

  Leonna stands up and turns towards Miyu.

  “It’s alright, Izumi-san! I hold my strength back!”

  “But it’s still weird to just see you hit her out of nowhere, especially after asking that question. What was that for?”

  Leonna opens her right hand, and her lower right wing also releases its grip on it. She summons her Sword of Purification.

  “Remember that this Sword only works for someone who’s unconscious? That question was so that the strongest negative emotion that is currently haunting her would resurface in her heart, in case she hides it.”

  “I-I see. . .”

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Leonna crouches down and stabs the woman with the Sword. The Sword turns black, and she pulls it out. She stands up and catches a deep breath.

  *inhales exhales*

  “Here goes!”

  Miyu observes Leonna carefully, and Leonna stabs herself with the Sword in her chest.

  .

  .

  .

  “Sorry, I don’t like you anymore. Let’s break up!”

  “. . .”

  This is the 15th time that I have been dumped by someone. For each boyfriends that I dated, I always fell for them, and I love all of them seriously. Though it seems like all of my feelings have always ended up one-sided. I treat my relationships seriously. I keep telling every single man that I dated that I wanna wait for marriage for sex. They all got impatient and ended up dumping me each and every single time. What is wrong with me? Or rather, is it wrong to want to wait until marriage for sex? I don’t understand today’s dating scene. My parents always told me that sex should be reserved for marriage. That’s what they also do when they’re dating.

  . . .

  Does this mean time is changing? But when I think about giving all of myself to someone that I’m not even sure that I will marry in the future just feels so disgusting to me. Am I wrong for thinking like this? Are my parents wrong this whole time? But they said that this was the norm back in their time.

  . . .

  I don’t know anymore. One thing’s for sure is that I am not living in my parents’ time anymore. This is a different age and era from back then. But I still don’t wanna just have sex with anyone I've dated. I only wanna give it to the very one destined for me.

  . . .

  So I guess. . .

  I will forever be alone. . .

  Then what’s the point of taking care of myself anymore?

  What is the point. . .

  I hate today’s dating scene. . .

  . . .

  If I am gonna be always alone then. . .

  .

  .

  .

  “URGH!!”

  Leonna felt all of the hurt from the continuous heartbreak that the woman experienced.

  “V-Velynia-san?”

  Miyu was confused because not even a second had passed since Leonna absorbed the negative emotions from the Sword of Purification into herself.

  “I-I’m fine. . . I’m simply absorbing all the pain from this woman’s heart.”

  “. . .I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

  “I bet! The concept of the Judge itself is pretty recent after all! This isn’t some old legend that has been going on for hundreds of years!”

  “. . .So, what did that woman experience?”

  “Heartbreak. Constant heartbreak over and over again over a short period of time. She keeps trying to love a man each time, but they keep breaking her heart simply because she wants to save herself and forbade sex before marriage.”

  “Huh? Isn’t that. . . the norm?”

  “It is! At least it should’ve been! The devil has twisted how love works in today’s society.”

  “The. . . devil??”

  “Yeah! People get hurt a lot because of what they did. This woman is simply one of them. She was overcome by depression. She chose to overeat beyond what her stomach allows to hurt herself in the process. This is what most cases of the Sin of Gluttony are about, but not limited to.”

  “I see. So, what now?”

  Leonna closes her eyes and puts her hands together to take a pose to pray. She prays to God in silence.

  “Amen!”

  After the prayer, she puts both of her hands towards the unconscious woman on the floor.

  *!!*

  Miyu sees that Leonna was encased in a pure white light, coming from above, and the white light flows towards the unconscious woman in full.

  Leonna puts her hands down and opens her eyes. She turns around towards Miyu.

  “Alright, I’m done!!”

  “Huh?? What did you just do?”

  “I prayed for her. I asked God to guide her and give her strength for everything that she does next when she wakes up!”

  “That sounds wonderful!”

  “Because it is!”

  “So, what do we do now?”

  “Now is the time to leave and let God do the rest!”

  .

  .

  .

  10 minutes later in a random small alleyway in New York. . .

  Inside this small alleyway, there is a man waiting for someone patiently.

  “HONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!”

  *!*

  That man is Veint Lucius. Leonna’s boyfriend, as well as her Support.

  “Oh! Darling!” greets Veint, waving his hand.

  Leonna is flying above the alleyway and is descending towards the ground. She carries Miyu with her by grabbing her in the waist, using her lower left wing.

  *Thud thud*

  Both Miyu and Leonna land near Veint.

  *HONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!!!”

  *!!!*

  As soon as Leonna’s feet touch the ground, she deactivates her Faith power and lunges forward at Veint. She hugs his head and hops up and down from how happy she is.

  “HMPH!!! HMPHH!!!”

  “HONEEEEEYYYY!!! I MISS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!”

  Leonna buries Veint’s face in her breast.

  “EH?”

  Miyu is a bit startled seeing this.

  “(T-This is the same woman that just prayed for that poor woman?)”

  Leonna finally lets go of Veint’s head.

  “PUAAAAHHH!!! Darling! Please don’t do this thing in public! Especially before we’re married!”

  “Ehehehe! Sorry! I didn’t mean to do it lewdly! I was just so happy to see you again!”

  “Well, you’re always happy every day! Though I am also happy because of that!”

  “AAAAHHH!! HONEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!

  *SMOOCH*

  *!!*

  Leonna suddenly hugs and kisses Veint on his right cheek.

  “Alright, alright! We don’t wanna disgust our new friend here! So, who is this??”

  Leonna lets go of her hug and stands next to Veint, side by side. Miyu walks forward and offers a handshake.

  “H-Hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Izumi Miyu! I am one of the Ten Commandments of God! And I am the Second Strongest Believer in the world! I am also the de facto leader of the Ten Commandments of God!”

  *!!!!*

  “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT??”

  Veint has his jaw dropped open as soon as Miyu introduces herself to the point that it looks like an overreaction.

  “Uhhh, Honey?! Isn’t that a bit too much?”

  *!!*

  “AH! I sincerely apologize, Izumi-san!”

  Veint immediately grabs Miyu’s hand and introduces himself.

  “My name is Veint Lucius! I am Leonna’s boyfriend as well as her Support! Nice to meet you!!”

  “(Wow, she’s really pretty! Her aura spells mature! And her boobs are big! My girlfriend’s are unmatched though!)”

  *!*

  “(EH? I can read his thoughts? Also, wow. All men sees first are boobs. AND COMPARING MINE TO HER HUGE BOMBS ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY RUDE AND UNNECESSARY!! AND WHAT’S WITH THAT VICTORY LINE AT THE END?!)”

  “OH! So, this is your Support?”

  “Yup! My lovely Veint-kuuuuuuuuuuunnnnn!!!” answers Leonna with such a joyful tone and stupid grin across her face.

  “Hm? Why didn’t you pick him up before you did that whole Judgment thing??”

  “Ah! That’s alright, Izumi-san! Darling over here already informed me of everything!”

  “Hm? Shouldn’t the Support always be together with the Judge?”

  “Well, I should! But that one was a special case! But don’t worry! I don’t miss anything at all, since anything the Judge feels is directly transmitted into my own heart at all times, no matter how far away we are from each other! We’re like a set that can transcend any distance!”

  “Hooooooooo! I see.”

  “(. . .)”

  *!!!!*

  “(Huh? His thoughts are blank? W-what?)”

  “So, Izumi-san!”

  Leonna hugs Veint from the side once again and presses her cheek against his.

  “What do you think of us?!”

  “HM?”

  “(I can’t wait until marriage to ravage this soon-to-be-wife of mine and payback for all of her physical teasing this whole time! I’ll make her so happy, she’d pass out from joy! Just watch!)”

  “Uurrrhh. . . Uuumm. . . I think you two are. . . destined for each other. . .” replies Miyu awkwardly after hearing Veint’s thought.

  “EH?? REALLYYY???” answers Leonna loudly and extremely happily.

  “Y-yeah! Sure!”

  Veint neutrally stares at Miyu.

  “(. . .)”

  *!*

  “(Another blank thought?! W-what is going on? I can’t read Velynia-san’s thoughts at all, yet her boyfriend I can. But now there are blank thoughts in between his normal thoughts! What is happening here?? Is something happening to my Faith power? Or is something blocking my Faith power? But if that’s true, then why can I still read some of his thoughts instead of not at all? I am so confused right now!)”

  “So, there are seven of the Judges in total, right?”

  “Yup! That’s right!”

  “Is it possible that I can meet one of them?”

  “Uuhhh. . . Unfortunately, that is kinda impossible at the moment?”

  “Huh? What do you mean?”

  “You see, even though we are all part of the same team, we haven’t exactly met with one another! And I’ve been a Judge for more than a year by now! It’s still just the two of us this whole time. We only ever know the other Judges through hearing rumors here and there.” explains Leonna.

  “(. . .)”

  *!!!*

  “(Yet another blank thought on her boyfriend. . .)”

  “Ah! You two! To return the favor, wanna see what the Ten Commandments of God do every day?”

  *!!!!*

  “EEEHHHH???!!!” said Veint, surprised.

  “CAN WE?!” shouts Leonna excitedly.

  Miyu nods happily.

  “ALRIGHT!! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “Darling! You’re way too excited! Calm down!”

  “(Lucas-kun! Can you warp me now and include two of our new friends who are standing near me!)”

  “(Ah! Miyu-chan! How’s that Judge?)”

  “(I’ll tell you all about it later at home! For now! Can you do my request immediately?!)”

  “(Alright, I understand.)”

  . . . . .

  “(Miyu-chan.)”

  “(Yeah? What’s wrong?)”

  “(You said there were two people with you, right??)”

  “(Yes?)”

  “(I apologize, but I only detected one person with you.)”

  *!!!!!*

  “(W-What? But there really are two people with me here right now!)”

  “(I’m not saying that you’re lying, Miyu-chan! Rather, this feels like something else. For now, I’ll open up a portal instead!)”

  “(I understand!)”

  *!!!*

  A portal suddenly opens up behind Miyu.

  “WOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!” awes Leonna loudly.

  “Well, then! Please follow me to this portal, you two!”
