Chapter 5 pt 2 : I Raised The Villains Preciously

Translated by Tam

Edited by Kio

There is no one in the world who likes to say things that are unfortunate.

Especially Hannah who was desperately shouting out to the vicious High Priest.

“Another prepaid salary again?”

It was also the second time that she had to split her prepaid salary.

“….Yes.”

Even in the midst of the awkward situation, she looked around the office to avoid the High Priest’s gaze.

He looked no different from his usual self. He was always well-kept.

Where would the ledger be hidden?

“Can’t you manage your money? Where do you waste your salary while eating and sleeping in the temple? Do you drink alcohol on the street and spend it in crap?”

The High Priest clicked his tongue.

‘That seems too prejudiced…’

Is that the nature and personality of the body’s owner?

Hannah was unhappy at the gaze of the High Priest who looked at her as if she was pathetic.

However, it was to make up for the lack of food, clothing, and shelter of the children, and there was no good excuse, so she just kept silent.

“I’ll take care of it, so go wait over there.”

“Yes, thank you.”

He split the money three times.

“Are the children doing well?”

“They’re doing well.”

Her fists were trembling because she knew that this trash-like High Priest’s question wasn’t a concern that came from a good heart.

A shameless old man, he’ll fall into hell.

“Okay, you can go then.”

“Alright.”

While leaving the door, Hannah looked carefully at the frame and bookcase on the wall.

Tak.

As the door closed and she stepped out into the hallway, a familiar face stood at the door.

“Hello, Priest Jason.”

“Hello Miss Hannah. How’s the nursery school?”

His question is obvious that he’s making sure the nursery is doing well so he can sell the kids.

Hannah released a sigh.

Is there no normal adult here?

The name of the book wasn’t ‘The World of Villains’ for no reason.

It’s full of bad guys everywhere.

“Well, everything is going well.”

“Are any of the children sick at all?”

Look at this. It’s so obvious.

If she didn’t know anything, wouldn’t she believe he was worried about the kids?

“The kids don’t have any appetite because of the rain…. They should eat well to be healthy, but the ingredients distributed at the temple are terrible. Well, you already know that, don’t you?”

Hannah looked up at Jason with a sad look on purpose.

“If even one person catches a cold, they’ll all catch it soon. Phew, these days, colds don’t go away easily, and children’s bodies are so weak that they might get sick…  Uhm…”

Jason’s face frowned as she pretended to be very serious.

“Do you need medicine?”

He must have been quite worried about having the kids healthy to sell at a high price.

“I think I need healthy food rather than medicine. I hope they can enjoy fruit full of vitamins.”

“Please write down what you need.”

“Oh my, really?”

Of course, I knew it.

Jason is more aggressive about the health of the children as if he’s the thirsty man who’s digging a well.

Of course, the inside was an ugly human.

“Then I’ll deliver it by evening.”

“Alright then, I will meet the High Priest.”

“Yes, have a good day.”

I turned around with a nod.

Beep, tak.

As the office door closed, she slipped back on the path she had walked.

Then, she looked out for anyone in the hallway and put her ear close to the office.

‘Did you recognize it?’

‘The head.. Then…’

‘When…’

‘Thank you… The Summer…’

‘Contact from the Central Temple….’

Their voices were unclear, but there was no difficulty in grasping the context with roughly the words before and after.

The plan was to sell off the children after the final inspection of the National Guard from the Central Temple.

And that they must take action under any circumstance before the Summer is over.

Unfortunately, there was no mention of the ledger.

Hannah quickly rose to her feet. That was all the information she needed.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

The next day, a large cart arrived at the Nursery.

Hannah racked her brain for what the Nursery needed most; and asked for the ingredients needed for a nutritional diet, new bedding, and new clothes.

Fortunately, Jason was willing to give this much support because he had a grand dream of selling the children at a high price.

‘Hm, the stupid brat.’

She’s not going to let their plans work, but isn’t it a good idea to use what’s available?

“Teacher, what is all this?”

“It’s a gift from God because you’re kind, strong and well grown.”

She didn’t want to say anything like God or other nonsense but she couldn’t tell the children the truth.

“Wow! There’s a dress!”

“I think that would look good on you?”

“Teacher, can I eat this?”

Jeremy was holding up a sweet snack.

“Of course. You can enjoy your snack without worry today.”

She was restricting the children because they ate too many sweets, but today she was in a good mood and allowed them to eat as much as they wanted.

“Please wash and spread this blanket.”

Ian said, pointing to the extraordinarily white and fluffy blanket.

“Do you like it?”

Ian nodded his head with a bright face.

Oh my, you like blankets more than snacks and new clothes.

It’s unique, but it’s so cute!

“All right. All right. Then let’s move it together now!”

At last, Hannah thought that there was a way to stop from getting a split of her paycheck.

Why is it so fun to rob bad guys?

“Hm~ hm~”

Hannah hummed happily.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

It was a dark night. It was the best condition for sneaking around.

Hannah picked up a candlestick and headed for the temple.

The guard wasn’t working hard at the temple as there was nothing to steal.

It was rather fortunate for Hannah.

She secretly headed to the office of the High Priest.

Kiiiiik.

‘The guys who embezzle a lot of money will always live with some sort of security to protect them.’

The squeaky noise of the door made her frown.

‘That portrait, that drawer, behind that bookcase.’

She scattered and searched the usual suspicious places first.

The portrait was always crooked, even though he would never touch it, and the drawer was always locked with a key.

In fact, the most suspicious thing was the bookshelf, which was because the High Priest’s left the difficult books in the bookshelf one after another while giving off an ignorant appearance.

There was no doubt about anything.

Let’s start with the bookshelf.

Hannah relied on the candlestick for light. She picked up and took out the books to make sure there was no secret space.

It didn’t seem to be touched very often as she saw dust on the books.

“Cough.”

She guessed that there was one place left. It was where she saw the Priest cleaning.

She soon gave up on the bookshelf and headed towards the drawer.

As expected, it was locked.

So she opened the other unlocked drawers.

Why do you have ink, a pen, note paper, and walnuts?

If she had known this, she would have learned how to open a lock with a safety pin.

Studying for exams in her previous life was useless for her now.

‘Huh?’

A key was attached to the ceiling of the small drawer.

‘Why would you put something like this here? It’s not like gum, is it?’

She was happy to find it, but she was a little bit uncomfortable by the key that hung from something squishy.

And there was a little anxiety.

‘He’s a suspicious person when things go easy—’

Click.

The drawer opened when the key turned.

Inside a drawer with a very deep—

“Perverted bastard.”

It was full of an erotic picture book.

‘Oh! I knew this would happen! I thought things were going well!’

In case it might be a fake, she checked out each picture book.

‘Fake shit. Where the hell did you get this?’

She searched through the drawer and put it back.

‘I can’t believe this money-mad High Priest is a pervert. I must be careful.’

She locked the drawer again and put the key in place.

“As expected..”

The vault is best hidden when it’s behind the painting.

The High Priest must know something. Hannah headed to the last location of her suspicions.

Then she sneaked up to the painting.

“Huh?”

In conclusion, there was no vault behind the painting.

There was just a wall, and something strange was drawn instead.

‘The patterns of the temple—? No, it’s not.’

The red pattern was the first to be seen.

The circle seemed to be overlaid with several numbers.

‘2? 5? 8?’

It was messy, so she couldn’t figure out what it was exactly.

Hannah once again hung the portrait properly.

She left the office carefully after checking to see if there were any traces of her.

Although she figured it would be a waste of time, Hannah decided to double check her tracks.

Afterwards she walked back to her quarters in the dark hallway of the Nursery.

‘But what was the pattern on the wall for?’
