EP.269 Oh, Sister, You’re a Dirty Girl! #2

Jihyuk was driving with a serious expression, focusing intently.

Adele, feeling down as her boyfriend’s mood sank, fiddled with the innocent seatbelt.

Disliking the heavy silence, she called out to him.

“Jihyuk.”

“Yes.”

“Can I touch your chest?”

“…I’m not angry.”

“Liar… Your face clearly shows you’re upset…”

“I was just deeply contemplating the doctrine.”

Adele glared at him.

“Jihyuk…! Again…!”

Jihyuk flinched.

Seeing his reaction, Adele felt uneasy.

Asserting authority might help push through the situation, but it only provokes resistance.

They’re supposed to promise eternal love in front of Rosario’s temple… This can’t go on.

Pondering what to do, Adele had an idea and spoke.

“Jihyuk, it’s fine to think deeply about the doctrine. But don’t draw conclusions alone. What did I say?”

“You said Adele is the right guide.”

“Exactly. As the saint of the Rosario Church and Rosario’s representative, I can correctly define all doctrines. So, if you have any doubts, always ask me. Understood?”

“Yes…”

Jihyuk’s expression softened.

Relieved, Adele advised him.

“If you ever have doubts, you must contact me immediately. Got it?”

“I will.”

“What time shall we meet tomorrow?”

“Let’s meet early tomorrow. I have a meeting in the evening.”

Lately, it feels like there are frequent meetings and trips.

Last time, he said he wasn’t busy anymore…

Though disappointed, it’s for the headquarters, so she should be understanding.

“Alright. Then I’ll wake up early tomorrow and go to your place.”

“Adele, personally?”

“Yes. I can’t leave you alone for too long. Especially in situations like this. I think it’s better to overcome it together.”

“…..”

Seemingly touched, Jihyuk glanced at himself in the rearview mirror.

Feeling proud, Adele chatted warmly with Jihyuk until they arrived at his place.

As she unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned in for a goodbye kiss, Jihyuk rummaged through the glove box and handed her a card.

“It’s a spare access card for the officetel. You can enter the common entrance, elevator, or my front door.”

“You keep such an important thing in the glove box?”

“It’s safer to keep one in the car than carrying two around…”

Hmm… That made sense.

Jihyuk’s car is a top-tier sedan with multiple security layers.

If she carried it and got robbed, it would be a disaster… Keeping it in the car was a good choice.

“Alright. Now close your eyes.”

Jihyuk silently obeyed her command.

Smiling, Adele gave him a deep kiss on his thick lips and opened the passenger door.

“Be careful on your way back.”

“Yes, rest well.”

Adele stood still until Jihyuk’s car was out of sight, then entered the door lock password and opened the door.

The living room was pitch dark. Silvia must be out.

Adele, assuming so, stripped off her clothes and stepped into the bathroom, soaking in the tub.

“Haah…”

A sigh escaped her. Simultaneously, she recalled the news she saw today.

A man who pushed an elderly person. Normally, she wouldn’t care, but because of him, she had a big argument with Jihyuk.

Well, strictly speaking, it wasn’t an argument but a one-sided reprimand… It was frustrating.

“Ugh…”

If that man had believed in the Rosario Church, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.

For the sake of Earthlings’ redemption, they should start building the temple soon.

But she was worried. Jihyuk seemed to have doubts about the doctrine.

At the same time, she was hopeful. Such doubts could greatly aid in self-purification.

If Jihyuk overcomes this transitional period, it will greatly benefit the Rosario Church.

He already shows qualities of an archbishop. If he gets through this trial smoothly and the temple is built on Earth, he could become a cardinal.

She, as the saint, would personally appoint him and serve as the highest advisor of the Rosario Church.

Just imagining it was thrilling. Jihyuk would surely be delighted.

‘How many children should we have?’

Three is too few. Then five?

No, five isn’t satisfying either.

More than ten. Double digits would be somewhat satisfying.

As Adele painted a rosy future with Jihyuk, she was startled to find her hand moving downward.

When did she plan to masturbate?

Probably because she regretted not doing it with Jihyuk today.

It’s all because of that pathetic man who pushed the elderly.

Annoying, annoying, so annoying.

Grumbling at the man, Adele hit the bottom of the tub.

But her hand submerged in water, and no strength was exerted.

She should strip Jihyuk’s clothes as soon as she arrives tomorrow morning.

Thud.

A faint sound of the front door opening came from outside.

Silvia must have returned from her outing.

After finishing her shower, Adele left the bathroom.

Wearing a fluffy fox pajama, she went to the living room, where Silvia was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

“Sister, you’re back? Did you exercise again?”

“Yeah.”

Today, Silvia’s atmosphere was quite serious.

Like Jihyuk in the laboratory.

Even from her short answer, Adele knew. Silvia had something on her mind.

She should comfort her. Adele smiled brightly and sat next to Silvia.

“Is something wrong?”

Silvia, observing Adele’s expression, spoke in a subdued tone.

“Yeah… I have something to tell you.”

Silvia, with a determined look, turned off the TV.

Then she turned to Adele.

“Adele.”

“Yes?”

“First, I want to say I’m sorry.”

Sorry…? Why all of a sudden?

Did she break the dog-shaped hairpin Adele liked?

“Why?”

“Today… while exercising, I thought deeply. Before it’s too late, before we drift further apart, I must tell you. That…”

Silvia rolled her eyes.

She wanted to say something but couldn’t open her mouth.

A sense of unease crept in. She felt like she didn’t want to hear it.

‘Don’t tell me…’

Adele, with a strained look, glared at Silvia.

She shouldn’t say it, she must have some decency.

But Silvia mercilessly shattered Adele’s hope.

“You see… I… like Jihyuk. I’ve come to have feelings for him…”

Thud!

Something heavy fell in her chest.

Her heart raced. She had expected it, but hearing it directly was even more shocking.

“I’m sorry… Can you understand me…?”

Seeing Silvia’s near-death face, Adele’s anger subsided.

Well, if it’s just liking… It might be okay.

If she promises to only have a crush and not pursue Jihyuk, maybe it’s understandable.

“Huff…! Huff…!”

Taking deep breaths while looking at Silvia, Adele asked in a trembling voice.

“You only… like him, right…? You won’t do anything to Jihyuk, right?”

Silvia was quite surprised.

She thought Adele would refuse to talk and get up.

She had planned to postpone the charging talk, but… since the conversation was flowing, it seemed like a good choice to get it all out.

Maybe getting a thorough scolding today wouldn’t be so bad.

“…. If you’re okay with it… I want to charge the device with Jihyuk too.”

And that was Silvia’s fatal mistake.

“No!!”

Adele shouted, making the living room shake, and stood up abruptly.

Her whole body trembled, and she gritted her teeth, shaking her head vigorously.

“I let the last charging slide for you! I hated it terribly, but I treated it as a past event for you! But how… how dare you say such a thing to me!?”

“Adele…”

“Do you know how much Jihyuk suffered because of this!?”

“J-Jihyuk…? That can’t be…”

That can’t be…?

Did she think Jihyuk would enjoy it because it was with a pretty woman!?

Already furious because of the man who pushed the elderly and Jihyuk’s doubts about the doctrine, she was only adding fuel to the fire.

Adele’s face turned bright red as she shouted.

“What are you talking about!?”

“Jihyuk said it’s okay, he understands… He sincerely answered like that…”

“That’s because Jihyuk is kind, he said that to lessen your guilt! Didn’t you know that!? I’m so disappointed in you! How can you be so immature!”

“No…! When we met, there was no such sign…”

“You met him!? When!? When!”

Silvia sensed the situation was getting out of hand.

She had expected such an intense reaction.

But it was too much.

Perhaps she chose the wrong timing.

She should retreat for now. Silvia cautiously stood up and extended both hands.

“Adele, I was wrong. Let’s go to the room and calm down first…”

“Since when have you had feelings for Jihyuk!?”

“I’ll tell you later…”

“Tell me now!”

Pressed by Adele’s momentum, Silvia blurted out without thinking.

“A, a while ago…”

“Give up! If you have any conscience, give up on Jihyuk!”

For Silvia, that was impossible.

She had already decided to go all the way.

But she hesitated to be honest with Adele now.

She had a feeling she would face an even bigger storm.

This complex thought process led to a momentary hesitation.

“Uh…”

And Adele, seeing Silvia’s reaction, lit up with anger.

“Sister!!”

A shout louder than before, like a lion’s roar.

Silvia flinched and stepped back.

“Adele, I’m really sorry… Should I get you some water? Let’s pray together and calm down…”

“Pr, pray…?”

Adele was dumbfounded.

Pray in this situation…? Does she think everything can be solved by praying to Rosario?

It was absurd. At the same time, her head cooled down.

She had an idea why Silvia was interested in the Rosario Church.

“Ah… Now I get it.”

Adele’s voice was calm.

But her eyes were still fierce.

“Wh, what…?”

“Sister… You wanted religion to ease the burden of your feelings for Jihyuk.”

“What…?”

“Am I wrong?”

Honestly, she was right.

She sought religion because her heart was heavy due to Jihyuk and Adele.

Silvia hesitated, unable to find words, and Adele, having confirmed the truth, let out a hollow laugh.

“Current you shows no trace of your former dignified self. You’re too vulgar. Disgusting!”

Silvia was furious.

Such an insult… Though she was at fault, calling her vulgar and disgusting…

“Isn’t that too harsh…? I asked under the premise that if you’re okay with it…”

“Really? I’ll answer now. No.”

“Shouldn’t you apologize first for using such low language…?”

A deep emotion began to rise from within both of them.

It was a mix of anger, greed, and jealousy.

Hatred sprouting from the malice Jihyuk had planted.

Though the malice was weak, it was enough to make the atmosphere more hostile.

Adele, with arms crossed, snorted.

“There’s a Korean saying. The one who farts gets angry first. That’s exactly what you’re like now. I must hold you accountable for the sin of adultery you’ve postponed until now.”

“Adultery?”

“You charged the device with Jihyuk. Despite my presence. That’s adultery. In any religion, adultery leads to permanent excommunication, but since your body and mind are tainted by the devil, I’ll give you a chance. Kneel before me now and beg for forgiveness. That’s an order.”

Silvia, calming her gaze, spoke.

“Alright, I made a big mistake. But forgiveness should be sought from Rosario, not you.”

“Still…! You still haven’t come to your senses! The one you wronged is me! As a human to another human, apologize to me! And don’t mention Rosario with your devil-tainted mouth!”

“Your mouth seems dirtier than mine.”

“Ugh…!”

Adele clenched her fists and started trembling.

A grinding sound came from her mouth.

“You’re not worthy of serving the Rosario Church!”

“According to the Rosario Church’s laws, anyone can become a follower. Even sinners with true faith can join. If I’m tainted by the devil as you say, shouldn’t I strive for atonement instead of whining like a child? You’re the saint who should set an example for other followers.”

Then, Adele remembered Jihyuk’s words.

To carefully select followers.

To accept such a hypocritical, shameless person… The Rosario Church’s laws need revision.

This thought briefly crossed Adele’s mind.

“You commit adultery yet remain shameless. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Of course, I’m ashamed. I admit it. I harbored ill intentions knowing you and Jihyuk were together. But let’s be clear. I didn’t commit adultery. Why? Because you’re not married. So, there’s no sin of adultery.”

“Sister…! Why have you become so vulgar? You’re too vulgar…!”

“If I’m vulgar, then Jihyuk must be too?”

“What are you talking about…?”

“Jihyuk has feelings for me too.”

Lies! Jihyuk would never do that to me!

How dare she try to deceive me with such words! Anger surged to the top of her head.

Bang!

Adele smashed the sofa with one hand and shouted.

“How dare you deceive me with such nonsense…! You, you’re a dirty woman!”

Hearing the harsh vulgarity, Silvia’s eyes widened.

“Did you swallow a rag!? Don’t cross the line!”

“A, a rag…?”

After enduring all sorts of insults, this audacity… Silvia had fallen!

She must conduct a trial for purification and atonement!

“You crossed the line first! You said it earlier!? As the saint, I must strive for your atonement!”

“So?”

“I’ll discipline you with a whip!”

“A whip? Did you just say you’ll use a whip?”

“Are you afraid of punishment?”

“Why should I be afraid of you? You’re much weaker than me.”

Completely enraged by Silvia’s blatant sneer, Adele tapped her device twice.

Silvia, who didn’t expect Adele to transform, was startled and distanced herself.

Then she reached for her own device.
