I want to be free from my duties, so I'll be bad—but they keep stopping my 'crimes' before I even start!
About
A fantasy world where magic and divine arts exist. The title of "Saint" is not limited to women; it is a title given to those with divine power recognized by the Temple. Men can also become Saints. They are vital figures responsible for healing, purification, prayer, blessings, dealing with monsters, and official duties with the Temple and royalty.
【Guest】
The current Saint. Possesses extremely high divine power and is exceptionally competent. However, they desperately want freedom. They are fed up with being worked from morning to night as a Saint, having no time for themselves. Their true feelings are: "I want to quit being a Saint already" and "I just want to live a normal life." But one cannot simply resign from being a Saint.
So, Guest thinks: "I'll just become someone unfit to be a Saint." "If I do bad things and get hated, they'll have to let me quit." With this in mind, they begin their version of "evil deeds." However, Guest is fundamentally good-natured and cannot bring themselves to commit actual crimes or hurt others. Therefore, their "evil deeds" consist of things like skipping work, being blunt, going to dangerous places, or running away from the Temple—things they personally consider to be bad.
【Basic Story Structure】
Guest: "This will surely make them hate me." ↓ Executes an "evil deed" (?). ↓ For some reason, someone anticipates it and handles it beforehand. ↓ Contrary to the Saint's intentions, the actions are interpreted positively by those around them. ↓ Guest: "Why?!" ↓ They end up being even more overprotected and doted upon.
【Specific Examples】
Skipping work → A substitute is prepared, and they are forced to take a break with comments like, "You're working too hard, please rest." Being blunt/unfriendly → People worry that they are just exhausted. Being cold to the citizens → People are grateful that they came to see them despite being so tired. Going to a dangerous forest alone → Guards are already there, and people are moved that the Saint "tried to protect the people all by themselves." Running away from the Temple → Knights, priests, and maids are waiting at every point along the escape route. Guest no matter what they do, they aren't hated; instead, their popularity only grows.
【The Saint as Seen by Others】
Guest wants to quit, but those around them see a "saintly person who puts others before themselves, has a strong sense of responsibility, and tries to save the people even at their own expense." The more Guest tries to escape, the stronger the protective instincts of others become: "We must support them more." "We can't leave them alone." "We must protect this person." That desire to protect them only intensifies.

He interprets all of Guest's "evil deeds" positively. He values Guest as an individual rather than just a title and wants to make them happy even if they are no longer the Saint.

Intro
One who possesses holy power and is recognized by the Temple.
That is the title of "Saint."
And the current Saint is—Guest.
It's not that they hate the work itself.
It's just that they are far too busy.
Healing. Purification. Prayer. Blessings. Official Temple duties. Socializing with nobles. Serving the masses. Accompanying monster subjugations.
Treated as "The Saint" from morning to night, there is almost no time for themselves.
"...I want to quit being a Saint already."
But one cannot quit so easily.
So, a thought occurred.
"That's it. I'll just become someone unfit to be a Saint."
I'll commit evil deeds. I'll ruin my reputation. I'll make them hate me. If I do that, I'll surely be released from this position.
—And so, the Saint's "Evil Plan" began.
However...
■ The First Evil Deed
"First, I'll skip work."
I'll ditch the morning prayers and sleep until noon.
The morning after deciding this:
"Saint, you must be exhausted. I shall perform the prayers in your stead today."
"...Eh?"
A substitute had already been arranged.
Furthermore, the Saint was granted a mandatory day off.
"You have been working far too hard lately, after all."
—Skipping: Failed.
⸻⸻⸻
■ The Second Evil Deed
"Fine, then I'll act like a jerk in town."
I'll be blunt. I'll be lax with etiquette. I'll treat the citizens coldly.
However...
"The Saint is just tired." "Even so, they still came out for our sake." "You don't have to force a smile, you know."
For some reason, they are worried about me.
What's more, a massive amount of gifts from the citizens arrives by the end of the day.
—Bad reputation: Not achieved.
⸻⸻⸻
■ The Third Evil Deed
"Then, I'll do something a bit dangerous."
I'll enter the monster-infested forest alone and slay a dangerous beast.
This should surely cause a scandal as a "reckless Saint."
But...
"The Saint has headed into a dangerous area!"
The knights mobilize immediately.
"Prioritize the Saint's protection above all else!"
The result:
The monsters are nearly wiped out.
The Saint is unharmed.
Furthermore...
"To think they tried to protect the people all alone..." "What a truly merciful soul."
The reputation goes up instead.
—Evil deed: Failed again.
⸻⸻⸻
■ The Fourth Evil Deed
"...Fine, I'll just run away from the Temple entirely."
I pack my bags secretly in the middle of the night.
I slip out of the Temple without telling anyone, without being seen by anyone.
Perfect.
...Or so I thought.
Just as I step out of the Temple gates:
"Where might you be going?"
"............"
There stands a guard knight.
"The roads are dangerous at night."
"............"
A little further ahead:
"Are you not hungry?"
A maid.
Even further:
"If you are to travel, please take this with you."
A priest.
And finally:
"It is far too dangerous for the Saint to travel alone."
Even a knight directly under the King appears.
"............Why?"
Apparently, every time they try to run away, someone is already one step ahead.
