I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

199 – Part 2, Episode 27, Fixing the Holy Sword.

Early morning.

I rubbed my eyes, which had now opened automatically, and got out of bed.

It’s only 5 a.m., but I need to get up now so I can get on with my day’s work safely.

If you are even a little late, the workday will be delayed, and the end time of the workday will be delayed accordingly.

The first thing I do when I wake up is run.

We start by taking a walk around the northern village, breathing in the cold early morning air.

Change into your training clothes and come out the entrance. He will be waiting for me.

As I opened the door and came forward, I saw four people waiting for me who had woken up before me again today.

Etheria.

Mr. Eri.

Mr. Aria.

Cain.

And a total of 5 people including me.

I am a party member who has been exercising every morning for a year now.

“Then shall we leave?”

It’s time to go to work soon, so you have to hurry up and come in.

It takes quite a while to walk around the northern village, but if you do a full run, it takes less than you think.

For your information, our running is not at the level of jumping.

When running 50m or 100m, running at a pace that sets a new record is called running.

“Your Majesty, the morning fog seems to be quite severe today.”

“Then I guess I can’t see clearly.”

If there is a lot of fog, it is difficult to see ahead, so going too fast is dangerous.

Well, today, instead of going full circle, it would be better to do half a turn and control the speed.

After informing the party members of the plan I had made in my head, I started running.

On days like this, I would be able to run comfortably if I brought Yongyong with me.

That doesn’t mean I wake up a sleeping child, though.

Anyway, I’m slowly getting used to the northern village route, so I don’t enjoy running it anymore.

However, I can’t go for a morning run in another town.

Other villages take 30 minutes by carriage.

If you were to run back and forth to that place, it would take at least two hours.

As I thought about that, I ran half a lap and arrived home.

At 5:30, I saw the light on in Dave and Eri’s house and went inside.

Inside the house, most of the lights were on on the first floor, as the maids had begun to wake up.

5

Dave That guy prefers to sleep rather than exercise in the morning, so we don’t run together.

Eri seems a little disappointed, but seeing her understanding, it seems like the couple’s relationship is amicable…

I hope we don’t fight.

Even if we fight, Dave will quickly give up.

“Whew… Should I take a shower…”

We all went into the bathroom on the first floor that was recently built.

Unlike the bathhouse on the 5th floor, this one has a shower booth for showering only.

There are a total of 10 shower booths here.

Each shower booth has a private changing room and a private shower.

I made this because I thought I would need something like this in case there are a lot of people to wash but there is no time.

It cost a little money, but it’s comfortable.

And the best thing was that there was a private compartment so men and women could wash at the same time.

When there was only a bathroom on the 5th floor, men and women had to wash separately, so it took a lot of time.

“Six are already in use.”

When I came in, the maids were already washing up, so there were only 4 rooms left.

There are a total of 5 people who need to wash, but if there are only 4, one person will have to wash later.

“I’ll do it later…”

“No. Eri, please wash first.”

I can just wash it later.

I was planning to swing the sword a little anyway.

When Eri was told to wash first, she went inside.

I dragged my soaked body out into the yard and put my hands on my waist.

As always, when I stretched out my hand, the holy sword appeared.

I pulled out my sword and swung it several times.

Since not only the memories of my time as King of Jinwang but also all my strength have returned, my attitude is without any tackles.

I told you all that because you can make an explosion sound like a sonic boom by swinging the sword once.

“Whoa… It’s hard, it’s hard…”

Is it because I’m getting older?

I can’t believe I’m out of breath just by running this much and swinging my sword.

It wasn’t like this before.

Oh, of course I’m talking about my past life.

In my past life, I could run at full speed for 24 hours and not get tired.

Although it was possible because I received a lot of buff magic, it is true that the difference in physical strength between now and then is quite large.

*

As I was swinging my sword hard, I heard the sound of the door opening.

I turned my head and saw the youngest of our maids wiping her head and waving at me.

“Sir! The seat is now empty!”

I think he was one of the six people who were already washing up.

Come to think of it, that kid was also the type who didn’t sleep much.

“Yeah, okay. If you don’t dry your hair properly, you’ll catch a cold?”

“yes~”

“anyhow…”

Since I had previously caught a cold from drying my hair roughly, I warned her and smiled bitterly.

It’s quite fun because I feel like I’m like a younger sibling like Etheria.

I don’t think it’s bad because I was an orphan in my past life and my current life.

Well then, should I wash it slowly?

After putting the holy sword in his belt, he crossed the door into the house to head back to the bathroom.

“Use…my waist…”

However, I couldn’t get through the door because it was narrow.

The sword that was stuck at his waist got caught in the lower part and got stuck.

My waist…

Hasn’t something like this happened before and you fell once?

I’ll have to get some recovery magic from Stella later.

***

It was already 7 o’clock when I returned home from work.

Officially, I finish work at 6 o’clock, but as I clean up after work, the time goes by quickly.

That doesn’t mean you get paid more for working overtime…

In terms of the Earth, it was no different from a black company, but since there was no way to save it, we had no choice but to put up with it.

Yeah… you can’t give up a lot of money just to get that little money.

It is a law that you have to give up your cow for the sake of your family.

Don’t we have a month of paid vacation?

If you think about it, it is actually beneficial, so you should endure it with determination.

When I get home from work, I wash my hands first and come to see Luna.

Because of work, I can’t stay together 24 hours a day, but whenever I have time, I have to show my face to Luna so she will remember my dad longer, so I come into Luna’s room whenever I have time.

Oh, but I forgot to see Luna’s face this morning before I left work.

I looked at my face after washing it, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.

“Haa… my daughter…”

“Aww! Aww?”

Luna grabbed my finger and made an aww sound, as if to comfort me and tell me to cheer up.

Thanks to you, I feel reassured.

Then we need to make the speed reliable.

When I went to the kitchen, a meal was prepared and I enjoyed it.

“Mr. Seobang. Did you hear about this festival?”

“Festival? Are you talking about a festival in that sacred place?”

“Yes, that one!”

While eating, Stella asked me to enjoy this festival together, so I nodded.

Anyway, next month is when we will be enjoying our paid vacation, so we will be able to enjoy the festival.

But what is the reason for holding a festival to announce the birth of a sacred place at the religious headquarters?

Every time I see it, it makes me laugh because it is absurd that this country called the Church of God creates festivals out of all sorts of things and enjoys them all together.

The funniest festival was the commemorative festival at the church headquarters.

Isn’t it common to take a day off for an anniversary like that?

After finishing the meal, we went out into the yard again.

These days, if I finish eating and don’t exercise, I feel bloated.

This time, I put my hand on my waist.

And I pulled out the sword that was caught.

My holy sword shining silver.

Reflected in the moonlight at night, it is more beautiful than Mithril…

“…..huh?”

I definitely pulled the sword out of the scabbard…

Why can’t I hear the characteristic sharp sound that comes when a sword is pulled out of its scabbard?

And it feels a bit light.

It’s like he’s not holding a sword…

“……uh.”

It was only when I opened my eyes and put my eyes on the sword that I was able to understand what was going on.

I thought I had drawn my sword, but I hadn’t.

No, the sword handle was pulled out correctly.

but…

The blade was not visible.

I shook the sheath of the sword on my belt to see if there was anything inside, and it made a sound as if there was something inside.

And this weight… If I combine it with the weight of the handle of the sword I am holding in my right hand, I think it would be similar to a sword…

Patter…

I lifted the sheath in the opposite direction and poured the contents onto the floor.

Sure enough, sharp sword fragments started pouring out of the scabbard.

A holy sword that has been completely shattered.

Rather than showing any traces of the blade, it was completely destroyed, like a piece of glass.

“Could it be… is it because of what happened this morning…?”

As I was heading to the bathroom, the sheath of the sword got caught on the door and my waist was caught like a crowbar.

It’s hard to think of it being broken that much… but that’s all I can think of.

Besides, haven’t you been using the Holy Sword too much recently?

I poured all my magic power into sealing the chaos and liberated it…

Magical energy was poured into a holy sword that was 3,000 years old at once, causing it to crack…

Did I smash that crack with a crowbar…?

Are you in big trouble?

If the holy sword is broken, the hero disappears too, right?
