Rhodes Island's Psychologist

Ch 88: The Shame of Kjerag

Same scene, same actors.

The frowning macho sits across from the stiff psychologist, but unlike the last time they met, they are meeting in a worse-looking environment. Lin Yie keeps peeking at the chair the macho is sitting on. It's the only chair he has right now, and it is making a lot of nerve-wracking creaking sounds.

There is also nothing to drink.

Lin Yie clears his throat and breaks the silence, "Uh, Mr. Matterhorn."

"Things have gotten worse." Matterhorn interrupts him, "I don't know what to do anymore. Doctor, you need to help me."

"If there is anything I can do, I will do my best." Lin Yie says, "But you see, my office is not even ready, and I haven't even recru..."

"Those things don't matter!" Matterhorn slams his hand on the table, "Our saintess..."

*Bam*

The table breaks in half.

Lin Yie almost jumps up in fright.

"Ah, uh, sorry about that." Matterhorn says, "I didn't think it's that brittle."

"It's fine. It's just a table."

What can Lin Yie do? Ask him to pay for the damage? When Lin Yie sees Matterhorn's chest muscles, whatever words he wants to say are forced down his throat.

Lin Yie takes on a gentle tone, "Please calm down first. Being impatient won't solve the problem."

Fortunately, his talent is working. Matterhorn's rough breathing calms down a little.

Lin Yie squeezes out a smile. He just wants the topic to change.

"*Cough* "Lin Yie says, "You are here because of your mistress, right? The saintess?"

When he hears Lin Yie mention that saintess, Matterhorn looks bitter again, "Who else can it be? Master asked me to take care of Mistress here in Rhodes Island, but I let Mistress turn into someone else. How will I face Master? How will I face my kins!"

"Uh, so, what happened to your Mistress?" Lin Yie asks, "I remember you telling me that your Mistress has some problem with your Master, and she doesn't want to go home?"

Matterhorn nods.

Lin Yie taps on his thigh, "To be honest, I haven't even met your Mistress, let alone understanding what's going on in your family. If I just tell her, I don't think it will work."

Matterhorn sighs, "That's true. In the end, it's Kjerag's problem. It's hard for other people to interfere."

Lin Yie quickly nods.

I'm glad you understand.

"That's why I don't count on Mistress and Master reconciling."

That's great!

Matterhorn says, "Instead, I hope you can convince her to go home."

Lin Yie pauses, while Matterhorn continues, "I thought things would get better if my mistress were just staying here temporarily, but something changed. Ugh, for Kjerag, this is a disaster, so I have to ask you for help."

Lin Yie's expression changes slightly.

What, so how did a saintess running away from home turn into a national disaster?

Wait, he is asking me to deal with a national disaster?! Wow, I finally feel like a protagonist, although I don't really want this.

Lin Yie sits straight and looks serious, "What happened?"

Matterhorn lowers his head and clenches his fists. His body trembles.

"My mistress is Kjerag's saintess." Matterhorn emphasizes every word, "The most respectful, most honorable."

"Uhm, I know."

"No, you don't." Matterhorn shakes his head, "You're not from Kjerag. You will never understand how important Mistress is to us. She is the symbol of Kjerag, and she represents us wherever she goes, but now, the mistress, she, she..."

Lin Yie's heart tightens at the suspense.

The way it is heading... Wait, did, did the saintess... lose her purity? WTF! This is too exciting. I need a smoke to calm down first.

Lin Yie puts his pen in his mouth subconsciously.

Based on the TV shows he watched in his previous life, he knows what comes next.

The saintess of a country ran away from home, and she got raped! This is a national humiliation! So her bodyguard is asking a professional to... Am I a professional?

Lin Yie nods to himself.

Haha. This is gonna be easy. I just need to help her bodyguard avenge her and get some hush money. Hmm, I wonder if it is enough to pay off my debts.

Lin Yie keeps imagining things.

Matterhorn notices that Lin Yie looks distracted, "Doctor?! Are you even listening?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Yie bites on his pen and nods, "I'm here. I just feel shocked and sorry for her."

"Really?! You think so too?!"

"Yes, yes." Lin Yie says, "This is too much."

"I know right! As Kjerag's saintess! As Kjerag's symbol! How could she, how could she..." Matterhorn smashes the already broken table again, "How could she let someone touch her tail!"

"Of course." Lin Yie quickly nods.

Then, he pauses, "Wait, what?!"
