Those involved naturally wouldn't know that this was due to the plot. After all, Uma and Adolf were initially portrayed as a bickering couple. Due to their differing ideals and unique intimacy, they constantly worked through their arguments to overcome each other, eventually influencing and supporting one another, and moving towards a mutual understanding.

However, it seems that this kind of coercive influence has also caused some problems.

“Mr. Adolf? I am an apprentice at the church and currently live there.” Uma smiled gently and thanked her, “Since I cannot refuse, I will trouble you, Mr. Adolf!”

Just then, the last glimmer of light on the horizon gradually faded, and the door signs on both sides of the street were already adorned with twinkling lanterns. The girl with a hazy smile under the night sky was not stunningly beautiful, but gentle enough.

Anser blushed, scratched his cheek awkwardly, and said to Uma, "Let's go then, it'll be even later if we don't leave now."

"Ok!"

The siblings, who had been secretly observing the situation outside from inside the house, breathed a sigh of relief as they watched "Adolf" and Uma leave hand in hand.

Hearing the other's voice, the siblings exchanged a smile.

"Okay, the good news is that the two of them have become a couple!" Yi Yi said with a smile. "From now on, Ai Yi won't have to worry about Uma anymore, and Ai Yi can relax a bit. After all, Ai Yi doesn't really like Uma very much."

“It’s not that I dislike her…” Ai seemed to suddenly realize something, “...it’s just that when I’m around her, I feel a little unlike myself.”

Yi Yi understood that Ai Yi was influenced by the original plot, but why did Anse, who silently cared for her in the original plot, become like Ai Yi? However, it seems that Ai Yi is also being influenced by the plot now, and actually has some affection for Uma.

Having figured this out, Yi Yi became even more determined to prevent Ai Yi from having any contact with Uma in the future.

The only good news so far is that Chris is avoiding Uma like the plague, and "Adolf" has met Uma and they seem to have developed feelings for each other.

There are still two more targets to pursue...

Let's tackle them one by one. The next one should be the incident involving the duke's son...

Although there are some minor issues, the butterfly effect makes it unclear what will happen next, so we can only take it one step at a time. I'm sure I can successfully get Adolf and Uma together!

With a determined look in her eyes, Yi Yi was determined to succeed, given that the current plot was not far from her plan!

After being mentored by Ai, Chris has now been granted permission to practice swordsmanship. He is steadily approaching the level of the Holy Swordsman from the original storyline.

During this time, without Uma's treatment and without the subsequent hardships caused by Chris's sudden improvement in his stutter, Chris and Uma no longer had any further interactions beyond their initial acquaintance. This brought some comfort to Ai's inexplicably uneasy heart.

Yi Yi herself also reduced her contact with Uma. When Uma came to see her in her spare time, she would only try to arrange for her to travel with "Adolf".

The reasons given are endless.

For example: I heard it's sunflower season, but I'm allergic to pollen. Uma, could you and Adolf go see the sunflowers for me?

Or: Last time Adolf brought me some wild fruit, and I suddenly really want to eat it. Uma, could you and Adolf go and pick some for me?

There was even a message: "I think I left my brooch in the market area a couple of days ago. You guys can have some fun with this money, and while you're at it, please help me find my brooch!"

It's like a mundane NPC that issues trivial tasks.

Fortunately, the two were mutually attracted to each other, and with Uma's bewilderment and Adolf's quick agreement, these strange tasks were always accepted and completed quite well.

That day, after sending the two to the forest to see the moon, Yi Yi prepared to deal with another target of her strategy—Gail, the duke's son born of a witch, and the incident of their acquaintance.

Gale, whose character profile describes him as "both righteous and wicked, seemingly close yet distant," is the only son of a duke in the empire and should have enjoyed a life of wealth and luxury.

But in this era of supreme divine authority, royal power was of little use, let alone that of a mere duke in the empire.

After the church discovered her mother's witch identity, she was executed for the crime of being an "outsider" and having an affair with a human.

Left with no other choice, the parents had to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.

The man who pretended to be in love with his mother was the housekeeper, and he watched helplessly as the loyal housekeeper and his family took the blame for him and his father, and were executed along with his mother.

Unable to acknowledge her true mother in front of the world.

Because of this incident in their family, the entire family received special care from the church and listened to "God's teachings" every day.

And the resentment that her father inadvertently revealed.

Under these circumstances, Gale became a complete apostate, learning forbidden arts that were despised by the world.

Even with the forbidden arts he learned thanks to his special bloodline, it still wasn't enough for Gale. After all, in this game where humans had no magic, forbidden arts were nothing more than powerful hypnosis and some methods of making poison.

Furthermore, the divine authority was too deeply entrenched, and he simply could not contend with it.

So while Gale was creating all sorts of obstacles for the church, she was also constantly looking for a bigger breakthrough.

Then he discovered Uma, who possessed the ominous power of a witch.

And their meeting happened today.

Because the time when the main church selects apprentices from local churches is the busiest time in the main city.

Not only small vendors take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, but even well-known merchant groups will choose to sell their goods at this time.

Over time, this evolved into an annual gathering.

One day of the gathering was particularly unique.

And this special day is today.

In an era when lighting conditions were not very good, they overcame the rudimentary lighting environment and spent a huge amount of money to hold a night market in the form of an evening party.

Today, Chris, who has officially become a knight, has his first mission—to maintain order in the night market with the other knights.

"Go Chris today!" Yi Yi encouraged Chris, who was coordinating patrol matters, while she and Ai Yi were together.

Chris, who had a sword at his waist and was dressed in uniform silver-white light armor, was a little surprised by Yi Yi's arrival, but he quickly smiled shyly, scratched his head, and said that he knew how.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yi didn't interfere with Chris's work and took Ai to stroll through the night market.

Following behind Ai, Yiyi watched the knights in silver armor coming and going in the crowd, and her thoughts drifted back to the plot—

Gale, who tirelessly sabotages the church, will naturally not miss the opportunity to ruin Chris's first mission and tarnish the church's reputation.

Therefore, he came to the night market and hypnotized the leader of a merchant group, causing some trouble.

Chris naturally had to deal with these matters.

In the original storyline, Uma, who was already more than friends with Chris, naturally stepped in to help him and used magic.

This made Gale, who was secretly observing, notice Uma's power and decide to win Uma over to make her his own.
