I’m depressed.
“Greetings, Shin Hye-jin.”
The sight of the girls in their ankle-length skirts, suffocating just to look at, made me feel increasingly breathless.
Even when I turned my head for some air, all I saw were the same skirts. There was nowhere for me to escape.
“Sister, I apologize. Our Yu-jin can be a little… rambunctious…”
And what was with that greeting? Do people still talk like that in modern society? Ugh…
“It’s quite alright. St. Theresa’s Academy is a gentle place that embraces and nurtures any lamb.”
What’s most depressing is that I have to rot in this suffocating place for three years.
“Please, save me…”
“Yu-jin. You’ll be entering St. Theresa’s Academy starting today.”
“Huh?”
As always, I was at home indulging in some legendary vegan meat when this news, like a bolt from the blue, struck me.
I hated the idea of going to a regular school, but St. Theresa’s Academy? Isn’t that a famous all-girls school? Ugh.
“I’ve already completed all the procedures. If you don’t go, I’m cutting you off.”
I was about to turn around and protest, but the sight of my always gentle and benevolent grandmother’s eyes burning with determination and resolve silenced me.
“That academy is renowned for its students’ kind and gentle nature. I’m sure Yu-jin will improve a little there.”
“Grandma… Can’t I just go to a regular school?”
Zzzt—!
No verbal answer came, but I could tell from her sharp glare that my request had been denied.
Am I really stuck going to that St. Theresa’s Academy? I’ve always done what I wanted, but it’s not like I can’t grant Grandma’s request just this once…
I just have to endure it for three years, right? Once I graduate, I’ll be an adult, and Grandma’s control will loosen.
And if I really can’t stand it, I can sneak out at night and run away. Grandma’s soft spot is my tears, so if I tell her I ran away because I couldn’t bear it, she’ll forgive me as always!
“Okay. But in return, you can’t bother me after I graduate from that school.”
“What wouldn’t I do for you if you just graduate?”
“Deal!”

Arriving at St. Theresa’s Academy with the lighthearted mindset of just enduring it for three years, I found the place even more stifling than I’d imagined.
Women in full-body nun habits, something I’d only seen in dramas and movies, bustled about, and the students all wore suffocating uniforms without a hint of skin showing.
Furthermore…
My phone was confiscated.
Seriously, is this even allowed?! Even the military lets you use your phone after work hours these days, but I have to part with mine for three years?
Ugh… this place is hell.
I already want to run away.
“Then, Sister, I’ll leave her in your care.”
“Safe travels, Hye-jin.”
My grandmother, after exchanging greetings with the Sister in front of me, left without a backward glance, getting into the car that had brought us here.
I wanted to jump in that car and escape with her, but the Sister had a firm grip on my wrist, and I couldn’t budge.
Why is this woman so strong?
“Yu-jin?”
I heard the Sister calling me, but my mind was already drifting to the dormitory somewhere on this campus.
I’ll unpack quickly, lie down on the bed, fall asleep, and escape at night. I can’t live without my phone!
Click—
“Huh?”
I felt a cold touch on my neck and brought my hand up to it. Something hard was there.
As I traced its shape with my fingers, I realized it was a choker. Did the Sister put this on me?
“That choker will sound an alarm the moment you leave the academy grounds, Yu-jin. So I can find you immediately.”
“W-What?!”
For a moment, I wondered if she was lying, so I looked up at the Sister, who was much taller than me. But her expressionless smile instinctively told me she was serious.
I quickly tried to unclasp the choker, but no matter how I fiddled with it, I couldn’t figure out its mechanism. I couldn’t undo it.
Even trying to rip it off only hurt my neck. It was as if it had become one with my skin.
Like a shackle.
“Yu-jin, welcome to St. Theresa’s Academy.”
She embraced me gently, but a chill ran down my spine as if I’d been caught by a predator.
This person, she’s a predator.
“This academy is a paradise for women. Even a delinquent lamb like Yu-jin will surely find happiness here.”
“I’m already unhappy.”
“You have quite a sharp tongue. I’m sure that will improve in time.”
The Sister was smiling, but her sharp eyes glared at me fiercely, revealing that her smile wasn’t genuine.
This scary person is a Sister? Lies.
“Now, follow me.”
As if I had no choice, the Sister grabbed my hand firmly and started walking.
Beyond her shoulder-length black hood, her shimmering golden hair swayed, dazzlingly bright and almost painful to look at.
“It’s been a while since we’ve had a lamb like Yu-jin. Lately, only… well-behaved, good children have enrolled.”
It will be rewarding to teach you.
She trailed off, but my sharp hearing caught her words clearly.
Do the Sisters also work as teachers at this school? Judging by the fact that all the adults around were dressed in Sister habits, it seemed plausible.
“Yu-jin, do you have any favorite dishes? I can cook anything you like.”
“Not really.”
She seemed to be trying to win me over with gentle words, but how could I feel good after being forcibly fitted with what amounted to a tracking device on my neck?
“Yu-jin.”
The Sister walking ahead stopped abruptly, like a machine halting. Lost in thought about how to remove the choker, I bumped right into her and fell to the ground.
“Now that you’re my lamb, you must be careful with your words.”
At some point, all the other people had disappeared, leaving only me and the Sister in this vast area.
As she slowly turned around, I realized she was beautiful, but for some reason, she also seemed terrifying.
Rustle, rustle.
The sound of her footsteps on the scattered leaves frightened me. I instinctively backed away, but she quickly caught my hand.
“A-Are you threatening me right now?”
“Threatening you? This is just a bit of ‘education.’”
“Edu… Aaack!!”
As soon as I realized she had embraced me, a sharp pain shot through my neck.
Every time the Sister, her face buried in my neck, moved her mouth, I felt a stinging pain, like being pricked by needles.
In the persistent agony, I tried to push her away, but I was no match for her physique or strength. My attempts were futile.
Instead, she grabbed my struggling wrists, leaving me completely helpless, at her mercy.
“It hurts… It hurts…!”
With my hands restrained, I thrashed my still-free legs, but she quickly pinned those down too, her body completely covering mine.
I could feel everything: her fragrant golden hair tickling my face, her large breasts softly pressing against mine.
The sharp pain gradually transformed into an incomprehensible heat.
“Ha… Yu-jin.”
“C-Crazy…”
A silvery thread connected the Sister’s face, lifted from my neck, to my skin, droplets falling onto both of us.
The throbbing in my neck was bothersome, but the unknown danger I sensed in the Sister’s sharp eyes was more frightening, so I closed my eyes.
“Paradise can also become hell for a devil.”
“Whether Yu-jin becomes a devil or an angel leading this paradise… I look forward to the future.”
After those cryptic words, the Sister gently took my hand and helped me up.
Still stunned, I stood there blankly as she brushed the dirt off my clothes. Her touch was gentle, yet terrifying.
“For me, since you’re my type, I’d prefer it if you became a devil. This is my personal opinion, as Catherine, not as a Sister.”
Trying to ignore the way she seemed to focus on brushing my backside, the first word that popped into my head was:
‘Escape’
I have to get out of here, somehow.
I’d only met this one woman so far, but if the Sister who welcomed me was like this, there was no way the others would be normal.
If Grandma knew what happened to me less than 30 minutes after enrolling, she’d forgive me.
…Did they confiscate my phone because they planned this?
“It seems you have cute thoughts. Perhaps your education is lacking?”
Hoo—
“Eek!”
I recoiled as I felt warm breath on my ear.
The Sister, watching me, covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled. For some reason, it made me angry.
So, I couldn’t hold back.
“Y-You!”
“Again.”
“You’re a… a pervert…!?”
“Huh?”
As I pointed my finger at her, the Sister’s furrowed brows smoothed out, and for some reason, she looked dumbfounded.
Thinking of the future, I knew I should stop, but I couldn’t bottle it up.
“B-Biting and! Hugging! Touching butts! With another girl! And I’m much younger than you!”
Even if it wasn’t true internally, outwardly I was much younger, right?
“You’re a pervert! I can’t learn from a pervert. Let me out of here!”
Only after I had vented everything bottled up inside me did I notice the Sister had frozen.
Her head was down, so I couldn’t see her expression, but imagining the punishment for my outburst, I couldn’t even begin to fathom what she’d do to me.
…Should I just run for it now, all the way home?
“Interesting.”
“Huh?”
“Indeed, it will be rewarding to teach you.”
I was prepared to be slapped, but for some reason, the Sister’s voice was gentle.
I could see her closing the distance between us again, but this time, I wasn’t afraid.
“Yu-jin, just so you know, I’m only one year older than you.”
That was the most shocking statement I’d heard since arriving at this school. Her hand, which gently grasped my wrist, was warm, unlike before.
“Now, we’ve wasted a lot of time. Dinner at the dormitory is approaching, so let’s hurry.”
As she walked ahead again, she exuded a sense of… humanity, not the fear and terror I had felt before.
So, I couldn’t help but blurt out another comment.
“Um, Sister… You look really old for your age.”
“…Let’s discuss this once we reach the dormitory.”
I mean, I totally thought she was in her early twenties. This isn’t my fault.
