Chapter 1204 - 1204: Shining World Saintess (Backup)_2

Shining World Saintess: There's nothing wrong with being ordinary. Moreover, the destiny that drives everyone forward is a fleeting radiance. Great figures in this world might be insignificant or even infamous in another. Nothing is set in stone; neither am I.

Shining World Saintess: Even in another world, perhaps you become the Savior, and I am interviewing you—that would be interesting, wouldn't it?

Bard: Just how far can your eyes see... Since that's the case—may I ask if you have someone you fancy? Or, what type of person do you admire?

Shining World Saintess: Haha... Do you care?

Bard: Is your eye color...? Oh no, I'm only asking on behalf of the nation's believers and readers.

Shining World Saintess: Huh? Does that mean you don't care about me?

Bard: Not at all! It's just, how should I put it—

Shining World Saintess: Oh, I'm just teasing you. Simply put, I don't currently have the kind of person you're thinking of, but I do appreciate good people.

Bard: ... Phew. Good people, that's such a vague definition. So no requirements regarding appearance or abilities?

Shining World Saintess: Appearance can change, abilities can grow, that's how I am.

Bard: Indeed, for a Cleric, spirit is the most important thing.

Shining World Saintess: I think it should be the same for everyone.

Bard: Ah, I've misspoken again, my apologies. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "good person"? Are you referring to a kind person, or perhaps a fair or brave person?

Shining World Saintess: It's indeed a bit vague. Let me ask you—do you think you're a good person?

Bard: I suppose so?

Shining World Saintess: Could you claim that even if both body and spirit endure endless torment?

Bard: This...

Shining World Saintess: Even if you become an Undead after death, even if your body and mind are twisted by the Great Demon's curse, could you still maintain your goodwill toward others?

Bard: Uh, frankly speaking, that's physically impossible, right? Perhaps only someone like you...

Shining World Saintess: Actually, I don't know if I could do it myself, for there's a little devil living in my heart. But I know many such people.

Shining World Saintess: Even if born weak, even if shrouded in endless despair, imprisoned by eternal reincarnation, with body and soul reshaped—they still hold onto the goodness toward others—I like those kinds of people.

Bard: The Saintess's perspective is indeed extraordinary... I was too shallow.

Shining World Saintess: These are extreme situations. I absolutely don't wish for everyone to go through such harsh trials. I hope everyone can be a good person in a more tolerant environment, without heavy costs or sacrifices... That's why I became a Hero and Saintess.

Shining World Saintess: However, if I believe there's a person who, no matter the direst straits, would uphold their goodwill—then perhaps... haha.

Bard: I can already imagine the public reaction once this interview is published.

Bard: But the conversation seems to have turned heavy, which is my fault. Let's get back to a lighter main topic—have you had any experiences in life that you find difficult to endure? I'm not referring to cultists or Great Demons, but rather more daily, trivial personal troubles. I think people would be curious if someone as strong as you experiences such things.

♛: Recipes not varied enough

Shining World Saintess: If I must say, lately the cafeteria dishes have become monotonous.

Bard: That's quite an unexpected answer. I heard the Food Church is always ready to serve you?

Shining World Saintess: That's not the issue. You know, I'm an Innate Sorcerer and can transform into animals.

Bard: Phoenix counts as an animal...? But, is it the case that—?

Shining World Saintess: Sigh... That is certainly the case.

Shining World Saintess: Initially, the chefs were normal, but after the performance, they became increasingly peculiar. They wouldn't chop snakes or roast birds, and finally, they wouldn't even prepare fish. This is the Holy City! To be next to the harbor and not eat fish—how absurd!

Shining World Saintess: Though they do make other delicious things, I feel this situation can't continue, so I'm addressing it here.

Bard: I can somewhat understand those chefs... But you have no food taboos, right?

Shining World Saintess: I don't eat spicy food.

Bard: I see. But currently, it's not a matter of taste, but the issue of appearance and variety, correct?

Shining World Saintess: But beasts naturally consume their own kind. Snakes eat snakes, big birds prey on little birds, let alone fish. How can they deem everything inedible just because my transformation is similar?

Bard: Seems like this is an issue that shouldn't be overlooked. Hopefully, this report wakes up those chefs.

Bard: Well, for the final question, this one is more formal. You should know that many have joined the Church and become Magicians out of admiration for you. There are even rumors that your associated items are popular on the black market.

Bard: As a Palace Strongman, what guidance would you offer to the younger generation on their professional path?

[Saintess's Generosity]

Shining World Saintess: Do not commit crimes... The Judgement Court has recently caught many attempting to steal floor tiles. Also, my path as a Magician might not serve as a reference for everyone, so unfortunately, there's not much Experience I can impart in this respect.

Shining World Saintess: However, there are indeed many within the Church Court who have approached me regarding this... So if feathers and scales will do, everyone can consult Shanlin Bishop at the Holy Maiden's Chapel; I'll periodically add these to the points rewards, with occasional nectar.

Bard: That's truly the best news today. Surely everyone reading this can feel the excitement.

Shining World Saintess: So everyone? Not just the Magicians?

Bard: Haha... Not necessarily.

Bard: Well, that's all for today. Thank you for this interview. May your radiance forever be with the world.
