Olivia's Diary

"My name is Olivia Melianne.

"I am a nun of the Radiant Light Church, and my current position has reached the level of deaconess, which is higher than a novice nun or a full nun.

"My next step is to become a fourth-rank chanting nun. I feel that position isn't far off from me anymore; it might happen quite soon.

"Because my growth speed is very fast, moving from Initiate to Pilgrim, and then from Pilgrim to Sensate, didn't take me too much time.

"Once I become a Transcender, I will naturally become a chanting nun.

"I am Olivia, and I am also a transmigrator.

"It hasn't been long since I transmigrated, but I feel like I've experienced so, so much.

"The church, heretics, the transcendent, forbidden artifacts... and all sorts of battles have filled my life, keeping me constantly busy with various matters.

"Thankfully, everything eventually developed in a direction favorable to me. As for why that is, well... hmm, I can't say.

"The events of this recent period were mainly triggered by Rose—a cute and pitiful little girl. Of course, she doesn't know what she caused; after all, she did nothing wrong.

"But sometimes, simply existing can cause great ripples.

"Dreamland Paradise came because of her, and their rare, large-scale actions also caused other heretical organizations to gather in the Imperial Capital, Kaliron.

"It's a form of herd mentality. Many heretical organizations didn't even know what they were supposed to do; they just knew that other heretical organizations were gathering in Kaliron, so they came too.

"When heretical organizations gather in a single city, what happens next is obvious: all sorts of conflicts began to emerge.

"The Rose Legion, Bloody Sickle, and even the Twilight Council have all stirred up various troubles during this time.

"Among them, the trouble caused by the Twilight Council was the most headache-inducing, but fortunately, that part of the trouble was ultimately resolved successfully.

"In this incident, my performance in the eyes of many was that of the MVP, although I know the real MVP should be Rose.

"After experiencing all these things, I consider myself to have grown tremendously. In the past, how could I have ever imagined reaching this point?

"Now Rose has been rescued by the church and is staying at the church headquarters to recover. I believe the research group established by Sister Julia will be able to help her.

"With the retreat of Dreamland Paradise and the church's new policy cracking down on heretics, perhaps Kaliron can return to its former peace.

"So, will I finally be able to live a peaceful life?

"Well... that's what I was thinking not long ago."

...

Olivia didn't even know why she suddenly felt like writing a diary entry.

To be precise, it wasn't even a complete diary entry, but more like a record of recent events.

After finishing it, Olivia looked it over, then used Spark of Fire to ignite it. She watched as the paper turned to ash before blowing the remains into the trash can.

She had already returned home, to her own house at No. 88 Annus Street.

But even though she was back, her previous trip to the church headquarters still left her feeling somewhat dazed and absent-minded.

So, the church headquarters looked like that...

Before going there, who could have imagined that the church headquarters was so grand and magnificent?

She had also finally seen Rose, but unfortunately, Rose's state wasn't quite right. Even when she spoke to her, Rose didn't give the slightest response.

Hopefully, the research group Julia Elliott established could really help Rose.

Olivia looked out the window. The morning wind blew softly, and leaves occasionally fell from the trees in the backyard, signaling the arrival of late autumn.

Rose had been rescued, and Dreamland Paradise had suffered a great defeat, with members either fleeing or being captured.

So, would things become peaceful from now on?

No, it wouldn't be like that.

Because many heretical transcendents who arrived in Kaliron didn't even know why they were there in the first place, they wouldn't know that the event which caused the various powers and organizations to gather had already ended.

Therefore, those fellows would still remain in Kaliron, still being a major headache.

And as a deaconess of the church, Olivia naturally had to deal with all sorts of problems.

In fact, shortly after returning from the church headquarters, she had been given a new mission.

It was a mission that made her pupils shrink and nearly made her jump out of her skin.

This mission was related to the Rose Legion.

When she first heard about the mission, Olivia almost thought her identity had been exposed. Fortunately, she later used the magic mirror to inquire about the situation and realized it was all just a coincidence.

But it still felt strange to her.

The church had actually noticed the Rose Legion long ago and suspected that its existence was far from simple, believing it might be related to certain nobles of the Holy Kelidos Empire or even the royal family.

This was no small matter.

The church and the empire coexisted and should have been allies supporting each other, yet it turned out the imperial side had issues with the church? They had even created an organization like the Rose Legion?

Although none of this was certain yet and everything was merely speculation, it was enough for the church to take it seriously and respond accordingly.

The church wanted to investigate this!

They would approach it from many angles, and Olivia was only responsible for one link in the chain.

Olivia thought for a moment and wrote down the next set of tasks again.

"In the near future, a ball hosted by Count Gerard Clifford will be held in the Main District.

"On the surface, this earl is a diligent and conscientious noble, but according to the church's secret intelligence, he might be connected to the Rose Legion, perhaps even holding an important position within it.

"The ball he is hosting is not just a simple party; there is a high probability it is being prepared to recruit members for the Rose Legion.

"Of course, this is different from conventional recruitment methods. It's more geared toward recruiting individuals with status and position or those with sufficient funds, having a specific bias.

"What I need to do is use a false identity provided by the church to infiltrate this ball and then... find a way to pass the test and go undercover in the Rose Legion."

As she wrote these lines, Olivia's expression was as strange as could be.

Because she, who had been arranged by the Rose Legion to go undercover in the church, was about to be arranged by the church to go undercover in the Rose Legion.

This... just what kind of situation was this?

Olivia really didn't want to accept this mission, but the church side said that she had joined recently yet was trustworthy enough and possessed sufficient strength—simply put, no one was better suited for the task than her.

At that moment, Olivia had ten thousand things she wanted to complain about but didn't know if she should.
