So I'm a sheep.

While chatting with Daisy to relieve her stress, the little girl secretly peeked at her 'loyal followers'.

She quickly realized something was wrong.

Their eyes looked strange.

There is expectation, but more than that, there is numbness and scrutiny.

There were no cheers or warm greetings; people silently watched Sasha, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

“Daisy…”

The little girl was very uneasy. She tugged at the female swordsman's hand: "It seems like there's no welcoming atmosphere."

"Lady Sasha, I'm so sorry!"

Daisy bit her lip: "Because there have been imposters of divine messengers before, everyone is being a bit overly cautious."

Sasha was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask more questions, the crowd parted to reveal a composed middle-aged man leading church leaders toward Daisy.

"Your Holiness, we have lived up to everyone's expectations!"

After the female swordsman and the two brothers bowed respectfully, they all wore expressions of pride.

"Is this the little girl?"

"That's right, Lady Sasha is a messenger of God."

The three people's unanimous answers brought a meaningful smile to Pope Leonard's face. He did not immediately acknowledge the girl's identity, but instead made a 'please' gesture.

"Let's go inside and talk."

.................................................. ..................

"Captain Daisy, please give a detailed report on your mission this time."

"Your Holiness, we have received your orders and will immediately proceed to the abandoned temple..."

Daisy is very good at fighting, but she doesn't have a high position in the Church of Dawn.

During the report, she subconsciously bowed to the church's senior officials.

The brothers George and Johnny had even less status; they weren't even qualified to give a report.

The little girl managed to snag a chair, but she said she wasn't comfortable sitting in it at all.

These high-ranking members of the Church of Dawn openly scrutinized him, their eyes filled with disdain or mockery, none of them showing any basic respect.

"You're saying she was unharmed after being hit by the exploding arrows?"

Leonard interrupted Daisy, staring intently into the female swordsman's eyes: "Captain Daisy, are you sure the explosive arrow hit this little girl?"

“Your Holiness, the three of us saw it with our own eyes.”

Daisy said with utmost seriousness, "Lady Sasha was surrounded by flames, but she was not harmed at all."

George and Johnny nodded quickly to testify for Daisy, saying that it was after witnessing this miraculous scene that they concluded that Sasha was a messenger of God.

“Little girl, if we attack you now, can you emerge unscathed under God’s protection?” Leonard said with a sly smile, uttering these terrifying words.

"Your Holiness!"

Daisy straightened up abruptly and said, word by word, "Even you cannot be rude to Lady Sasha."

"Daisy, mind your place!"

Do you know who you're talking to?

"That's outrageous!"

Despite the rebuke, the female swordsman's expression remained unwavering.

“Your Holiness, you should not have said such things to the messenger of God.”

"..."

As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Leonard suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I misspoke."

"Let me rephrase the question, Sasha. If the Black Hand Brotherhood attacks you with magical weapons again, what measures do you have to ensure your safety?"

Upon opening her vision of faith, the little girl felt a chill run down her spine after just one glance at Leonard.

The pope of this Church of Dawn, the mainstay in resisting the believers of evil, was, in fact, an unbeliever!

Sasha looked and looked, but no matter how she looked, there wasn't even a hair-thick line of faith on his head.

“Sasha, can you answer my question?” Leonard asked again.

Sasha certainly wouldn't tell the truth to someone who lacks faith.

"do not know"

"Ok?"

"Sasa was able to remain unharmed from the attack of the magical artifact entirely thanks to the goddess's protection."

"However, the goddess's protection is not unlimited. I don't know what will happen if we are attacked by the demonic weapon again."

Leonard nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with the little girl's answer.

"Captain Daisy, you can continue now."

"..."

No one interrupted the female swordsman's report until the end.

"Daisy, why are you so sure that Sasha is the messenger of the gods? Explain your reasoning."

"According to Your Holiness's prophecy, I found Lady Sasha in the abandoned temple."

"Lady Sasha is protected by God. I saw with my own eyes that she was unharmed despite the attack by the demonic weapon."

“Angels cannot eat food from the mortal realm. Apart from seeds brought down from heaven, Lady Sasha will vomit anything she eats.”

"Lady Sasha may look like a child, but her stamina is something no child could possibly possess."

Daisy emphasized, "If she doesn't prioritize speed, she can easily keep up with the team's pace without falling behind."

"I see..."

Leonard's gaze focused on the little girl: "Sasha, are you really a messenger of the gods?"

"Sasha is a little angel"

Why do angels descend to earth?

"This is my trial to stop the Black Hand Brotherhood from opening the Gates of Purgatory."

"What is the celestial realm like?"

"do not know"

"do not know?"

Leonard stared at Sasha: "You're an angel, how could you not know what heaven is like?"

"Sasha is a little angel"

The little girl explained, "The heavens are where high-ranking angels live. I'm not high enough to live there."

"So where do you usually live?"

"One of the countless subsidiary spaces of the Birth Pool"

What is the "birth pool"?

"A magical tool for nurturing little angels."

Leonard asked questions faster and faster, giving Sasha no time to think at all.

"If you're an angel, why don't you have wings?"

"Little angels didn't have wings originally, but they got them after their rank was increased."

Are all angels black-haired and black-eyed?

"No, they're usually blonde and blue-eyed."

Why are you special?

The little girl licked her lips, and got angry in the face of a barrage of questions.

"You don't believe me at all?!"

Volume 1: Chapter 009 Knows Everything

Faced with the girl's outburst, Leonard simply smiled and shook his head.

"Please forgive me, I was just trying to determine whether you were genuine or not."

Oh ho, you unbeliever, how can you possibly discern the truth about me, the real angel?

"Then, Your Holiness, how did you determine my authenticity?"

“Sasa, you may not know this, but there was once a blasphemer in the church who disguised himself as a messenger of God.”

Leonard said calmly, "He's a formidable figure; his disguise once fooled all of us."

"But he can fool us, not the great goddess!"

"To expose his lies, the goddess appeared in my dream."

ha?

The little girl's eyes widened suddenly.

"The great goddess drew my soul into the heavens, where I met many virtuous and high-ranking angels."

Leonard closed his eyes, a look of deep longing on his face.

“After I woke up, I confronted the blasphemer face to face.”

"Hehe, as expected, the heavenly realm he described is completely different from the heavenly realm I saw."

“I put him to trial on the spot, removing a major cancer from the Dawn Church.”
