Collapse, but Stand users

[The poisonous pupa is not in your field of vision, and Sakura is acting a little strange.]

You summon the white snake, pulling Sakura into an illusion. Want to see how Sakura will act next?

But the outcome of the illusion was not what the two of them had hoped for.

"So, the Poison Chrysalis used your sister to blackmail you into attacking me?"

"...That's correct."

Father Pucci nodded and said to Sakura, "You go back first, I will send someone to protect your sister."

Sakura nodded, having no doubt that Father Pucci had the ability to protect her sister.

"Then I shall take my leave."

Father Pucci nodded and watched Sakura leave.

......

After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

To avoid suspicion, Father Pucci and Aponia and Hill had already moved out to live separately.

This move was strongly opposed by the two men, but it was ultimately implemented.

But where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure.

The two took turns visiting Father Pucci every night.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Father Pucci got up to open it.

The person knocking on the door was Aponia. Father Pucci looked at her eyes, which seemed to be in a dream, and felt something was wrong.

'I shouldn't have pulled Aponia into the illusion.'

Aponia did not enter the room, but quietly watched Father Pucci.

Although he was a little flustered, Father Pucci tried his best to keep a normal tone and asked Aponia, "Why are you up so late, Aponia? Is something the matter?"

Aponia cupped Father Pucci's face in her hands and said, "I had a nightmare, Father."

"I dreamt that you almost died."

“I’m still standing here perfectly fine, aren’t I?” Father Pucci replied.

"Yes, but that dream was a bit too real."

After Aponia finished speaking, she suddenly pulled Father Pucci's head toward her with a sharp force.

Feeling Aponia's soft lips, Father Pucci stopped thinking about why Aponia had gained memories of the illusion.

The girl was a bit clumsy doing this for the first time, while Father Pucci, who had experience from the previous simulation, was no novice.

After a long while, the two separated. Aponia looked at Father Pucci and said softly, "You're quite skilled, Father Pucci. Do you do this often?"

"This is my first time, Aponia."

But Aponia clearly didn't believe Father Pucci's nonsense and kissed him again.

“Father, could you please look at me alone?”

Father Pucci tried to speak, but Aponia pressed her index finger to his lips.

“Tell me with your actions, Father.”

......

'Aponia is so bold!'

Seele peered out from the doorway.

Although Seele knew that peeping was wrong, she never moved away.

......

"It's getting late, Aponia, why don't we rest first?"

"No."

"..."

......

Just as Alicia said, Aponia is a very possessive girl.

You once again lamented how inconvenient it was not to have the ability to absorb Honkai energy to strengthen your body.

[Afterwards, Aponia still sought out Mebius to perform the fusion warrior surgery, and unsurprisingly, it was successful.]

“Oh, and why did you undergo the Fusion Warrior surgery?” Mebius asked Aponia.

"In order to possess the priest."

Aponia's answer surprised Mebius.

"Just for this reason? Seriously, no one's going to take it from you, right?"

Aponia said nothing as she looked at the threads on Mebius's body that pointed to Father Pucci's fate.

......

To fulfill your promise to Sakura, you send church members to exterminate all the Poison Chrysalis people.

[You considered bringing Sakura to the sanatorium, but Aponia strongly opposed it.]

"They're talking about other girls again."

Seeing that Aponia was unhappy again, you realized that you were in for another night of suffering.

[Having felt the weight of Aponia's love, you know that Aponia hasn't attacked Sakura yet, just to give you face.]

So instead of transferring Sakura to Twilight Street, you transferred her to Dolce & Gabbana.

As the days go by, you'll understand why villains always like to recruit henchmen.

It's incredibly easy not having to do anything yourself!

"Being a boss feels so much better than not being one," you remarked.

“Father Pucci, the green baby may be finished hatching.”

"Really? Let's go take a look."

Mebius was curious when he saw Father Pucci and John Gerry hurrying by.

"Something's fishy. Let's follow them and see."
