chapter 209
209 – Part 2 Episode 37, Rainy Day
I tried to beat him up, but he wasn’t there at the time so I couldn’t.
Still, the Holy Knights persuaded me not to worry, saying that they would send me outside, not to the church headquarters, so I held on and returned home.
After that, I rested at home without thinking about anything.
That very day, I received word that he had been dispatched to a remote island area.
He said he would never return to the church headquarters.
“Tsk… I guess I wanted to kill him.”
“When I heard that I was being watched, I thought I was overly self-conscious… but I guess I wasn’t?”
“Because I’m not overly self-conscious.”
Dave, who finally found out the full story of the incident, reacts with surprise.
Not only me, but also Dave, we have seen him for close to a month, so we know very well what kind of person he is.
I’ve only assisted in the training of a prospective priest twice, but I think he may be the worst prospective priest in our lives.
Among those who want to become priests, how many of them have that kind of character?
“I’ve done everything I could to say that I was going to beat you to death. Well… it was harder for Ether and Aria than for us.”
It’s exactly what Dave said.
He was an idiot who couldn’t even make a proper face in front of us, but in front of women, he was a person who showed all kinds of bullshit and showed the utmost in strength and weakness.
This guy is such a waste that it would be a waste to beat him with my own hands.
It would be best to just let the Holy Knights discipline them on their own.
If the rumor spreads that I beat up the knights to death or something like that, only I will lose out.
Ugh….
“The so-called hero sighs…”
Dave gave me a hard slap on the shoulder and stood up, laughing.
Then he grabbed the sword and it seemed like he wanted to challenge me.
You’re attacking me.
“Would you like to give it a try after a long time?”
“No matter how much it is you, Dave, you won’t look at it, right?”
I grabbed the wooden sword that was lying on the floor and got up.
It’s a wooden sword that explodes and disappears once you use it, but I really like swinging a wooden sword.
A wooden sword is an object made with the basic principle of non-killing.
Of course, a wooden sword is enough to kill a person, but considering the reason it was made, it is impossible to dislike it.
As I grinned, sweat trickled down Dave’s forehead.
Even though he pretends like nothing is wrong, he seems to be scared on the inside.
“What? Until recently, you were worse at swordsmanship than me?”
“That was before.”
A thick string.
I just grabbed the wooden sword and heard the sound of wood breaking.
Dave’s body was clearly starting to shake now that he heard that sound.
Should I rush in first and smash it to pieces?
With that in mind, I gripped my sword tightly again…
“Die!!!”
Surprisingly, Dave approached me first.
And with a killing force!
Dave’s strides are quite wide, so he is very adept at quickly lunging and thrusting.
No matter how much of a warrior I am, if I’m suddenly caught off guard, it’s difficult to catch that move.
That said, if I were to get hit by Dave’s sword here, wouldn’t my name as a hero be tarnished?
So, I positioned myself so I could move as quickly as possible and avoided it.
“Ugh!!”
Dave, who failed to stab, is unable to overcome inertia and falls forward.
At that time, if you raise the wooden sword and strike it at Dave…
Kwakagaaang!
Dave, who had only learned swordsmanship for about four years, heard an explosion that he could never avoid or imitate.
Of course, it wasn’t a direct hit on Dave, and he didn’t get hurt in the slightest because he had deployed a protective shield.
Unfortunately, my wooden sword exploded again.
There is no need to feel sorry because there are a lot of them.
“Ugh…you monster…”
“It’s a compliment, right? That monster is called a hero in this world.”
Since he sealed the chaos and even reincarnated, wouldn’t he be a monster?
I laughed and held out my hand to Dave and helped him up.

As I spend more time at home due to paid vacation, I also naturally spend more time with Luna.
Not only me, but other priests except Dave and Cain are also actively taking care of Luna.
Dave and Cain are not approaching Luna as much as possible because she is a girl.
If it’s just two people, it’s okay as long as they wash their hands properly before coming in.
“oooh!! Awww!”
“Miss Luna seems to be in a good mood today as well~”
Yuri, who usually plays well with Luna, is sitting on the sofa and being held in Luna’s arms.
Mr. Yuri said he wanted to learn how to handle children in advance in preparation for the future, so he learned various things together with Stella.
So taking care of the well-behaved Luna was a piece of cake.
When I have children later, won’t I become a good mother based on the parenting skills I’ve learned?
By the way, when are these two going to have a child?
I can’t ask because it’s a sensitive topic.
“Yes.”
“…….”
“Yeha?”
“Huh? Oh, did you call me?”
“If you don’t mind, would it be okay if I take Miss Luna out to the yard?”
“Luna seems like she’s being silly about wanting to go out again. Come out with me.”
Our Luna really likes looking at the sunlight.
I don’t know if there are many advantages or disadvantages to having a baby exposed to sunlight often, but no father would stop his daughter from doing it because she likes it.
Of course, this does not mean carrying Luna as is.
I lay him down in the baby bed we use when going outside and take him out.
“Wow.”
“What is that cry that just sounded like an exclamation?”
“Boo?”
Did I hear it wrong?
There is no way a baby who is not even a year old can utter an exclamation.
When I saw Luna, she was excited to go outside, so I took the baby’s crib and went outside.
Today’s weather was a bit cloudy, so it wasn’t a strong sunny day, so I decided not to wear a parasol.
“cadet.”
“What’s wrong? Should I give you a pacifier?”
I took out the nipple toy I had packed earlier, used cleansing magic on it, and placed it in Luna’s mouth.
As if it was the correct answer, Luna, who had a nipple toy in her mouth, smiled brightly and began to move her body happily.
You seem to be in a good mood.
After all, my daughter.
I also feel good because the weather is warm.
I feel like I want to lie down like this and take a deep sleep.
But I can’t sleep because my daughter is outside.
I just sat down and slightly lied down and looked at the sky.
“huh?”
The sky, which had been uneventful just a moment ago, was becoming increasingly dark.
A pure white cloud deteriorates into a black cloud in an instant.
Uh, now that I look at it, it seems like I can see lightning around the clouds.
“Yuri, I think it would be best to go in quickly.”
“yes?”
“Look at the sky. I think lightning will fall soon.”
“oh…”
Eri was also very surprised when she saw the unusual sky.
It was clear just a moment ago…
Eri looks a little disappointed looking at the sky.
He got up from the chair he was sitting on, stroked Luna’s head, and started pushing the wheeled bed back into the room.
“Wow!!”
“Miss Luna, let’s come out together again tomorrow and have fun. Understood?”
“Boo.”
Since it was inevitable that it would rain, Luna stopped urging, as if she understood, even though her lips were pouting.
After quickly moving Luna, I instructed the maids to close all the doors in the house.
If something like this happens suddenly…
It would be a big deal if something like this happened because there were minions of chaos around.
After confirming that the last door was closed, I went out into the living room.
The only person who isn’t here right now is Dave.
He’s probably listening to the rain at his house.
Anyway… his wife is here, but he’s there alone.
“Eri, would you like to go now? The rain is still light right now, so I think we can go.”
“No. I will stay with you today.”
Mr. Eri decided to be by our daughter’s side rather than Dave staying home alone.
I felt some kind of sympathy from Dave.

When I went to work at the church headquarters and was processing documents in the office as usual, I heard the sound of rain outside.
When I slightly opened the door to check, it was already raining with lightning crackling, which made me smile.
How long does it take to rain like this?
Perhaps because it rarely rains here, where the church headquarters is located, I was in a good mood and smiled.
“Your Majesty, with all that smile on your face… Is your Majesty the warrior outside?”
The senior priest who opened the door smiled and came towards us.
I was so happy that I motioned for the priest to come over and ducked out of the window so that I could see what was going on outside.
“No, it’s been a while since it rained.”
“That’s good news. The last time it came down was last summer…”
“This is the first rain in almost a year and a half.”
That’s already happened.
Strangely, it did not rain often in the area where the church headquarters was located.
They say it’s because of something that happened 3,000 years ago, but they don’t know much about it because it hasn’t been passed down orally.
I guess I’ll have to ask the West directly later.
Still, it’s been a while since it rained.
It would have been better if I had sat shoulder to shoulder with you…
That was a little disappointing.
