I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

205 – Part 2 Episode 33, The trip… is cancelled…

Three swords made from mithril and styx were distributed to each knight.

Fortunately, there has not been a single report that the minions of Chaos have been discovered so far.

Rather, it seems that reports of damage caused by monsters within the Church of Christ have decreased recently.

Is it because the knights are moving around harder than usual?

Since it is unconditionally a good thing that the damage has been reduced compared to usual, the church headquarters is praising the Knights for doing a good job.

They say that if you work hard, people will feel more comfortable, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Was it a famous quote from King Sejong?

Of course, utilitarianism, such as the greatest happiness for the greatest number, is not without its drawbacks.

The knights who suddenly have a lot of work to do are in a lot of pain.

The soldiers of the Knights work over three hours of extra work every day.

That applies both during the day and at night.

I was a little taken aback when I heard that the priests should follow suit and work hard.

The priests breathed a sigh of relief as they decided to extend the extension only to those who would work hard since it was not mandatory.

Even now, it ends after 7 o’clock, so they are extending it by 3 hours?

So that means you can barely get in around 10 p.m.?

My daughter doesn’t want to be woken up after 10 p.m.

Play time automatically decreases.

“There’s no way… There’s no way around it.”

I shook my head as I put the chair on the desk in the classroom.

In the first place, once the training of prospective priests is over, we have nothing to do and just go home from work.

But in that situation, even if you work 3 hours extra, all you can do is sit down and waste time.

I have to go clean up quickly.

Thinking about that, I yawned and called Dave, who came into the classroom holding a mop.

“What are you doing…”

“What should I do? I have to clean it.”

A mop that is dripping water even after being washed.

Even if we assume that water dripping is unavoidable, does it make sense to say that you are going to clean it when you haven’t even swept it with a broom yet?

“What, haven’t you used it yet?”

“You were just raising the chair.”

“Then let’s quickly sweep with a broom first.”

Dave grabbed the broom and dustpan that were lying on the side and began quickly cleaning the inside.

As I watched him clean better than expected, I could see that he had become quite proficient while working as an assistant priest.

It’s already the second time, so it’s worth it.

But it’s almost time for this class to graduate.

Another month of rest is approaching.

What should I do to rest for a month?

“Hmm… I have no idea what to do…”

“You’re worried every time I see you? What is it this time?”

“No, I thought it would be a good idea to go somewhere to have fun during this vacation.”

Since we worked so hard, wouldn’t it be okay if we had some fun for a week?

Since I haven’t been out for fun recently, I think it would be a good idea to go there to change my mood.

Most of the time it was a carriage trip.

Carriage travel may seem comfortable, but it is surprisingly difficult.

It’s not for nothing that kings who went to recuperate in palanquins returned in poor condition.

So, I think it would be nice to have a place where I can take a break while still being nearby.

“And there, it brings Cain and Etheria closer together.”

“You’re really interested in other people’s love lives…”

Dave stirred the whale and clicked his tongue, saying that he was very interested in it back then and that he still is.

Well… the only entertainment in this world is interfering with other people’s love affairs, right?

It’s quite fun to bring two people closer together.

Well… in any case, you can only get closer if you have feelings for each other.

All I can do is provide that opportunity.

“Anyway, it’s not bad to go somewhere to have fun…”

Dave agreed with me that it wasn’t bad.

There’s no way I’d be opposed to this since he’s more rest-hungry than me.

However, one biggest problem still remains.

“There is no suitable place nearby.”

“Why isn’t there one? There’s a hot spring village near here, right?”

“Hot spring town?”

Come to think of it, I think I heard there was a hot spring village.

I heard that this continent is surprisingly full of volcanoes, so there are hot springs everywhere.

And there are places that use the hot springs commercially.

There was a hot spring in the port city I stopped by when I was heading to a neutral continent.

It’s a memory…

If you think about it, it’s also quite famous for its hot springs.

“It’s a hot spring town… so maybe it’s not that bad…”

“I heard there’s a family bath there too.”

“okay?”

First of all, it’s not a bad idea to have it as one of the candidate locations.

Actually, going to a hot spring town just to enjoy the hot springs is a bit weird, right?

Considering the large bathtub in my house, I don’t think it has any merit as a travel destination.

***

I thought they wouldn’t just let this go quietly…

Unfortunately, in less than three days, the servant of Chaos was discovered.

This time, it was in the shape of a dog.

It is said that the knight holding the Sword of Destruction quickly noticed and cut him to death.

But then, do you know what happened?

It has been a place where it has been raining on and off recently, but it is said that it has stopped raining since the minions of chaos were defeated.

Apparently, due to the influence of the minions of chaos, the rain fell and stopped frequently.

Chaos controls disasters, so does Suha control the weather?

It’s ridiculous.

The guy I killed also controlled the fog.

Anyway, it was no good to go out and have fun now that Chaos’ minions had been discovered.

I decided to just chill at home and finish my work as an assistant priest.

“Then should we go camping in the yard?”

“That’s also ambiguous… It’s a bit weird to start a fire in the yard…”

What’s the point of talking and having fun when the knights are working hard?

I should just rest and practice swordsmanship at home.

Ugh…

If I had known this would happen, I would have dealt with and sealed all of Chaos’ minions before sealing Chaos.

What on earth were they thinking 3,000 years ago?

In the process of resealing chaos, wasn’t a situation created where chaos’ minions opened their eyes and started wandering around?

If I had known this would happen, I would have started with the holy sword in its prime and started beating my subordinates.

If you kill just one, it would have been very easy because the divided ones die all at once.

“Sir, don’t think too much about the past.”

“Still… I keep thinking about it.”

If I had done a little better back then, wouldn’t it have been easier now?

Strangely, I keep having that thought.

“You said Stella would also be taking vacation this time, right?”

“Yes, I have no choice this time. I should take care of Luna at home and get some rest~”

She smiled brightly and took Luna in her arms.

I chuckled when I saw that.

Now that I think about it, even if I were to go on a trip, it would be difficult to take Luna with me.

It might be better to just not go because there may be an accident…

Later, when Luna grows up…

Wouldn’t it be okay to go play when you’re at least 5 years old?

A little bit before that.

If something happens to Luna when she goes out…

Let’s not imagine…

Why are you even imagining something like that?

“So, would you like to think about what to do during this vacation?”

“I train in swordsmanship and clean watches…”

“And you have to play with me!!”

He puffed out his cheeks, asking why he skipped playing with me from work.

That’s right… When Stella asks you to play, she really means to play all day, right?

He even follows me when I go to the bathroom.

That’s cute though.

“Or Stella, you can practice swordsmanship with me…”

As soon as I asked him if he wanted to try swordsmanship together, he quickly ran over and hid himself in the threshold.

It was quite cute with only his face sticking out, but…

“If I don’t exercise soon, will I gain weight?”

“Ugh… I never imagined that the West would say such a thing directly…”

“It’s possible because I’m your husband.”

Stella has a structure that makes it very difficult for her to gain weight.

Because it has the power to convert into magical power when consumed with food, it is almost impossible for excess glucose to accumulate in the body.

However, after giving birth to Luna, I moved less and used less magic, so I gained a little weight.

Of course, even if I tried, it would only be about 50kg.

“And you know that gaining weight is bad for your body, right?”

“I know…”

“So, exercise with me. If you swing your sword a hundred times a day, you’ll fall out easily, right?”

100 times is less than you think.

Stella has also received swordsmanship training before, so it won’t be that difficult.

Perhaps because it was I who suggested it, Stella eventually nodded.

I smiled and held out my hand, and she placed her hand on mine as well.

“If I want to teach Luna how to swordsmanship later, Mom, I need to learn swordsmanship too.”

“Teaching Luna swordsmanship?”

“My father is King Jin, so shouldn’t my daughter be able to mainly use swordsmanship?”

At the very least, you must know how to protect yourself.

And you must learn swordsmanship to the point where you can cut into pieces anyone who threatens you.

It’s better to kill than to die.

Even if it is a religious country.

But… isn’t that what Dad would say?
