Volume 1, Chapter 37 – About Giving Tianyin a Job Change?

And in the room at the end of the Job Change Hall, the silver-haired witch and the holy knight girl clad head to toe in golden armor faced each other.

“So, Yivrea, what exactly are you trying to say, that we had to meet in private like this?”

As a Paladin, to be honest, she found such secretive private meetings rather distasteful.

However, if the one requesting it was Yivrea, Fisiel still tolerated it to some extent.

Not because the two of them were particularly close though… in fact, their relationship wasn’t as good as one might imagine. What made Fisiel allow this meeting was simply because the girl before her was indeed the so-called “Silver-Haired Witch.”

“Well, it’s nothing big actually. It’s just that soon, I’ll be leaving this place.”

“Leaving?”

Fisiel’s face was filled with confusion at Yivrea’s words.

“Leaving? Sorry, but I haven’t received any such orders. Yivrea, in fact, you’re still assigned to guard that abandoned sanctuary for another three hundred years.”

“Well… that was indeed part of the condition back then, but the order for me to leave came from the Heavenly Father.”

Yivrea spoke softly.

The Heavenly Father she referred to was in fact the supreme being standing at the very top of the entire Sanctuary faction.

The Heavenly Father, the leader of the Sanctuary.

Because of the unique structure of the Sanctuary faction, the Heavenly Father was also the god whom the angels and believers of the Sanctuary worshiped.

And the instant Fisiel heard Yivrea mention that name, her pupils shrank sharply.

“The Heavenly Father’s… command? Impossible. Even if you’re the Silver-Haired Witch, the Heavenly Father would never cast His gaze upon this place!”

Her tone turned sharp, and to be fair, Fisiel’s words weren’t without reason.

After all, as the head of the entire Sanctuary faction, the Heavenly Father would hardly concern Himself with a girl merely known as the “Silver-Haired Witch.”

That was precisely why Fisiel instinctively doubted Yivrea’s words the moment she heard them.

For a Paladin who regarded the Heavenly Father as her faith, He was an existence beyond blasphemy.

“Well now, Fisiel, you seem a little too worked up. But everything I just said is true, you know~”

Yivrea spoke with a calm seriousness, making it hard for Fisiel to tell whether she was speaking truth or not.

“Please, don’t joke about things like that, Yivrea. Even if you have the right to enter this city once a month, that doesn’t give you the right to mock a Paladin like me!”

“Well, I figured you wouldn’t believe me easily. That’s why the Heavenly Father gave me this, specifically for that reason~”

As Yivrea spoke, she slowly reached into the air, pulling out a pristine white feather radiating a soft light.

“This is…”

The sight of the feather made Fisiel’s expression turn serious.

“The Heavenly Father’s…”

“Bingo. So, this is the Heavenly Father’s decree~”

“I see…”

To put it simply, the Heavenly Father was a being who possessed angelic wings.

And for a Paladin devoted to Him, being able to discern the Heavenly Father’s aura was an essential skill. Of course, while they believed in the Heavenly Father, their true devotion lay in the Seven Virtues of the Knight, Humility, Honesty, Mercy, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, and Honor.

Having clearly felt the Heavenly Father’s presence in that feather, Fisiel’s doubtful gaze finally settled into calm acceptance.

“Since the Heavenly Father has entrusted you with His token, I’ll believe you on this matter. But, Yivrea, if that’s all you had to say, you didn’t need to meet me in private, did you? So what’s the real reason?”

“Well, as expected of Fisiel. Actually, there’s one more thing… and it’s rather simple. As my only friend, I want you to grant me one request.”

“A request? Well, as long as it’s not unreasonable.”

“It has to do with that girl whose hair color matches mine, the one you thought was my daughter, or maybe my little sister…”

“That girl? What about her?”

“Well, I want to ask you, Fisiel… to take her in after I leave.”

“Eh?”

The knight girl’s expression turned slightly surprised.

“If it’s that kind of request, you could have said it in front of her. There’s no need for the two of us to discuss it privately, right?”

“No, that’s not the only thing…”

Yivrea’s expression grew a little complicated.

“That little one… seems to have been born with a defective body.”

“Defective? That can’t be right. She looked perfectly normal just now… Wait.”

It was as if something suddenly came to her mind, and the knight girl frowned.

“Don’t tell me… that kind of constitution?”

“Yes. Her body is frail, far more fragile than that of ordinary children…”

“For instance, even if she has the same level of power as someone else, she can only bring out maybe twenty percent of it. Her physique is what you’d call an extremely rare… Weak and Defective Body.”

To be fair, when it came to Tianyin’s passive “Light Body, Easy to Push Down,” the NPCs of this game world did seem to have their own unique way of interpreting it.

“So what exactly are you planning to do?”

As a knight, Fisiel couldn’t help but feel pity toward Tianyin.

“I want to try something. If she could become a Paladin like you… maybe she could overcome her condition.”

In short, Yivrea wanted to give Tianyin a job change, hoping it could neutralize her passive skill “Light Body, Easy to Push Down.”

Though of course, Yivrea herself didn’t actually understand what Tianyin’s passive ability truly was.

And for the native inhabitants of this world, the NPCs, the System was something completely unknown. They couldn’t bring up a status screen like Tianyin could.

Well, while some interactions with players took place through quest or trade interfaces, to NPCs, such things were completely natural.

“Change her job to Paladin? Yivrea, are you sure about this?”

“Of course. Let’s see if Xiaoyin can become a Paladin.”

Yivrea’s gaze softened.

“That child, though I’ve only spent a month with her… I really like her. Which is why, because I like her so much, I just can’t bring myself to leave her unprotected…”

“So, this was the only way I could think of.”

“Maybe only this way can she gain the ability to protect herself…”

Yivrea’s voice was soft, but the emotion behind it was surprisingly genuine.

“In that case, if I refused, I’d really be heartless, wouldn’t I?”

The knight girl smiled helplessly.

“As a Paladin, I can’t ignore a request like that. So Yivrea, you can rest easy and leave it to me.”

“Mm… really… thank you so much…”

“Well, as for the job change to Paladin, whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on her. It’s something I can’t interfere with. But even if it fails, I’ll still protect her properly.”

“Mm… those words… are enough…”
