The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

The Winner of the Gamble (Side Chapter)

It was around dinner when Kuro and Eris arrived at the gates of the Holy Palatial Gardens. Eris had the cart given to a guard, who took charge of parking it, as well as bringing the horse back to its stable.

"Eris is sorry that it took long, Mister Kuro."

"Nah, it's fine." Kuro unconsciously turned to his watch, which was missing on his wrist, bringing him back to reality. Embarrassed that he made himself for a fool, he subtly hid his arm behind him.

"Thank you for your time, Eris enjoyed this trip!" the little maid smiled in gratitude, "Well then, Eris will excuse herself, Mister Kuro!"

"Yeah, thanks for the ride, too! Take care!"

Gracefully, Eris bowed and went on her way.

Now that he's alone, Kuro went to his room. He's pretty relaxed by now, confident that he had made another friend. At least, not all the maids in that place hated him; he had Lily and Eris on his side.

Well, Her Holiness isn't counted because she's too OP.

Anyway, he preferred not to show himself in the kitchen since he got food from Ricardo's place. Though technically Eris bought it, someday Kuro would repay that kid, he said to himself.

"Tch, how cruel. So that's what you think of Eris, huh? A kid."

Kuro stopped in his tracks. By that time, he was at the façade of the guest house where he was staying, and right at the doorstep stood Her Holiness, the Saint of Chersea. Her arms folded across her chest, and she leaned on the doorframe—just like a typical housewife waiting for her adulterous husband. However, Her Holiness' lips were smiling, though it was a sardonic one.

"Oh! You read my mind once again, Your Holiness." Kuro greeted her, noting her usual antics.

"I find it interesting. I'm never bored when I peer deep into your thoughts."

"I see..." Kuro just gave her a nod, "Anyway, I got some food with me, Your Holiness. Want to have a bite?"

"Nah, I just ate. I'm just here for the result."

"Result? Of what?"

"You and Eris."

"Oh, that." Kuro smiled, "Well, we became friends. Though I thought she's treating me as one before..."

Her Holiness' face suddenly turned sour. She clicked her tongue and stomped her feet as she went down the elevated doorway. Kuro wondered if he said something wrong.

"Your Holiness..." Kuro added, "I find it weird that Eris proposed I became her friend. I mean, I won't go to such great lengths in helping her if I don't consider her to be one in the first place."

"Oh, is that so?" the sourness on Her Holiness' face disappeared, and she went back to her sarcastic grin.

"What, are you thinking of something else?" Kuro curiously asked, "If you're thinking about the warning you told me before; well, I'm not a noble so I don't have the right to marry people like her."

"..." the Saint was utterly silent.

"Besides, I see Eris as a cute little sister."

"Oh, dear..." Her Holiness' hand went to her head as if she's having a headache.

"Anything wrong with you, Your Holiness?" Kuro tried to help the Saint.

"Not me, it's you!"

"Me? What did I do this time?"
