Black Lotus simply recounted the sisters' experiences.
They used to live in the cultists' “ritual ground,” a place specifically used for magical beast experiments, and they were all failed subjects. However, they were among the more successful individuals.
The cultists conducted cruel human experiments, merging human and magical beast chaos energy. Their goal was for humans and magical beasts to coexist, with magical beasts ruling the world, restoring it to a state of “surviving civilization.” Magical beasts would govern humans, and their leaders would hold the power of life and death, deciding human fates.
...Furthermore, they even conceived a plan for “artificial magical beasts.”
Ironically, this grand ideal was ultimately achieved by the Church that destroyed them.
Blood Lotus and Black Lotus had long forgotten their original names. Their bodies, transformed by the magical beast transformation, could no longer grow, but they were successful test subjects who had integrated chaos energy.
However, it was merely an integration; not only could the chaos energy not be used, but it also prevented their bodies from growing. Their immense strength was entirely due to their innate talent... achieved through years of persistent magic cultivation.
What surprised Tina most was that Blood Lotus and Black Lotus had frequently fought each other in the “ritual ground.” They might break each other's limbs or even imagine themselves as wild beasts tearing at each other's bodies. This was all done under the orders of their overseers, to test their physical limits.
The corpses Tina had seen in her memories were also their fellow “adapters” who had died early in these internecine battles, leaving only Blood Lotus and Black Lotus in the end.
While the two were still chatting, Sathya had already prepared dinner.
By now, Sathya had finished dinner and placed the last dish on the table.
“Sister Tina, just leave their matters to me. I only wanted you to meet our new companion... Hmm, otherwise, keeping you locked here, doing nothing, wouldn't be very nice~”
Tina tugged at the chains on her body. She wanted to call Sathya by her name, but her body instinctively began to move...
Her body's instinct told her not to call Sathya by her name. It should be “Master.”
Somehow, just thinking about it made her body start to heat up...
“Master, I... I won't leave you. Am I truly so useless that I can't go outside?”
“No.” Sathya leaned close to Tina, gently lifting her chin.
She had changed into a chef's apron at some point, instantly switching from the dignified Saintess to a virtuous wife. But this wife seemed a bit too controlling...
Tina blushed, gently pushing away her arm, yet unable to succeed. She was ultimately pushed down onto the soft sofa behind her. Black Lotus was still right there!
“M-Master... you liar, we could have solved all difficulties together.”
“Then, Sister Tina, why did you want me to kill you?”
“...” Tina was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer. But now that her goal was achieved, she couldn't forcefully argue. She could only sigh like a defeated person.
Suddenly remembering a word, she immediately added: “Because, Master, you would resurrect me.”
“Ah~ Sister Tina, you always think you're normal, but you're actually the strangest one.”
A faint blush appeared on Sathya's cheeks. It was as if they had grown accustomed to this way of communicating over those seventy-nine years.
Tina wrapped her arms around Sathya's waist, pulling her into an embrace, and naturally kissed her lips.
She could sense magical beast emotions, and clearly, Sathya was also a magical beast. So Tina could, to some extent, see Sathya's experiences.
However, this was much harder than sensing Black Lotus's emotions, because Sathya was merely a magical beast, not a thrall.
But she could still see some things.
During the day, as the Saintess, she had teleported to the distant Southern Continent.
Then, she returned to the Empire's Church and said something to Aether. Although Tina couldn't hear clearly, it was obvious that Aether was now completely obeying the Saintess's commands. And he had given most of his authority to Sathya.
During this time, Sathya's emotions were very monotonous. She was very afraid.
It was like walking through a haunted house, where an unexpected scary face could pop out at any moment and startle her. She maintained this emotion, never changing, even when facing the Church and her companions.
This further increased the difficulty for Tina to sense her emotions, as almost nothing external could cause her emotional fluctuations. Even the fragments she saw were mostly like “seeing the candy I ate with Sister Tina, very happy.”
“Sister Tina?!” The images before Tina's eyes suddenly stopped. Sathya, who was pinning her down, suddenly sensed something.
“Are you... reading my mind?”
“Master~?” Tina tilted her head and smiled, attempting to bluff her way through.
Sathya sat up. Tina thought she was about to leave, but to her surprise, her waist tightened—Little Ya had clamped her legs around Tina's waist!
She placed her hand on the hem of her skirt, seemingly hinting at something. This reminded Tina of the fear of being dominated from yesterday.
She had thought that interactions between girls would be much gentler than imagined. But Sathya wasn't just a simple girl.
Her movements were indeed gentle, but because of her magical beast authority, the entire process became complicated and bewildering.
“Someone's... here, Master...” Tina could only plead.
“Sister Tina.” Sathya suddenly seemed to remember something, giving Black Lotus a look. The latter understood and left the dining room.
Seeing that the room was empty, she gently lifted Tina's right leg.
Tina suddenly remembered what had happened last night. Her movements were very gentle; if it were only once or twice, she might enjoy it...
But such a process could continue tirelessly for seven or eight, or even over ten hours.
“I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry... W-w-w-I, I was wrong...”
But Sathya showed no sign of stopping, embracing her shoulders.
“Wuwuwu, Master, Master...” Tina began silently chanting her apologies in her heart. She could only instinctively cover her face, which began to burn. It was as if her body was already preparing to accept Sathya.
But at that very moment, Sathya released her, got off the sofa, and went back to arranging the dishes on the dining table.
Only a bewildered Tina, full of question marks, was left on the sofa, at a loss.
She also got up from the sofa, looking at Sathya, who was already seated at the dining table ready to enjoy dinner, with three parts confusion and seven parts complaint.
“Sister Tina, your reaction makes me very satisfied.”
“...Gulp.”
