I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

211 – Part 2 Episode 39, Ballpoint Pen Revolution

Something new happened to me recently.

This is water purification.

I was wondering if I could use magic to earn pocket money to buy a watch, but the rain started pouring down and there was no need for water magic.

Instead, it seems that Priest Maxis suggested to the church headquarters that it would be better to use the purification power of my holy sword rather than building a facility to purify rainwater.

I was looking for a part-time job, so I said thank you and am now doing the cleanup.

There has been a lot of rain recently, so I have a little more work to do, but I am happy because it only gave me more money to buy a watch.

Hehe… I only worked for about a day and had enough money to buy two watches.

Who can complain when they get this much?

“We’re done here… let’s go over there this time.”

When did they prepare all these facilities?

There were several tanks filled with water in the basement of the church.

I guess this is the water tank.

I heard it costs 50,000L per piece.

So, this one is 50 tons, right?

How does this heavy thing stand?

What…

There is nothing that cannot be done with magic.

In a world where 100,000-ton ships are floating on the sea, there is no way that a 5-ton water tank cannot stand properly.

I stopped thinking about nothing and threw the holy sword into the water tank and activated the purification.

In an instant, all suspended matter and sediment disappeared and rainwater became ultrapure.

I tried drinking it a little bit, but as expected, it didn’t taste anything.

Ultrapure water is water with absolutely nothing in it, so it has no taste.

Even if electricity flows through it, it doesn’t conduct electricity.

“But clean is best.”

Drinking ultrapure water does not cause problems to people.

Some people say that we are in big trouble because there are no nutrients on Earth.

Do these people not think about the nutrients they get from the meals they eat?

Living in an age of nutrient saturation, I found it somewhat surprising that people said there were no nutrients from water.

Isn’t that why you can’t use ultrapure water for drinking?

I remember that it was not suitable for eating because it had no minerals, inorganic substances, organic substances or electrolytes.

Of course, in our church, we will not consume ultra-pure water as is.

I plan to mix this with groundwater and use it.

“I’ve finished my work, so let’s go back.”

I have to report it first.

He took the holy sword out of the water tank, stuck it in his waistband, and came out, yawning.

*

When I came out, the sky was already sunset….

No, it was covered with rain clouds so I couldn’t see anything like the sunset.

Those rain clouds have been like that for two weeks already.

It seems like they were planning to bring down all the rain that hasn’t fallen so far at once.

I want to see a red sunset, not just dull clouds.

Where on earth has the diversity of weather gone?

Is it really rainy season at the church headquarters?

But I know that the rainy season has already ended in all places where it would be.

Then it’s not a rainy season.

Is there really a servant of chaos that I haven’t figured out?

“Yes!!”

As I was looking at the sky with that thought in mind, someone called me from behind.

When I turned around, I saw that it was a high-ranking priest who, like me, was working part-time with magic.

I remember him because he was someone who bragged to me that he would soon become a priest.

Normally, bragging might not sound very nice, but this person didn’t feel bad about bragging.

“Is it okay for someone who is about to become a priest to run around like that?”

“Oh my! That’s not the problem right now!”

“sure?”

He said he was a nobleman and all that.

People say that noblemen don’t run even if their house is on fire or something.

Anyway, seeing him say something like that means something important has happened.

I listened intently to what he was trying to say.

“So…so!!”

“therefore?”

“So!!! I’m becoming a priest next week!”

Then he started laughing out loud as if he was happy.

It’s already tomorrow.

Then, Eri and I will both be promoted to intermediate priests next week.

I’m the only one left out of my classmates and I’m finally becoming a mid-level priest…

I’m so moved…

“That’s something to celebrate. So?”

“Is that all?”

“….?”

“I just came because I wanted to show off.”

Then he scratched his head and instantly disappeared from my presence.

It looks like he came here to show off as something ‘real’.

What else happened to me…

Anyway, the problem is that that person is very mischievous.

“I have to go home to tell Eri.”

The work is all done~

Should I stop by the store and buy something?

***

I was thinking about buying a watch with my pocket money, but I decided to buy it as a gift for Stella.

She is in a position to get whatever she wants, but it’s different when her husband buys it for her as a gift.

Recently, what Stella has been interested in is ballpoint pens.

Now, the era of using ballpoint pens rather than quill pens has come.

In our church, ballpoint pens have been selling at very high prices for some time now.

However, unlike quill pens, ballpoint pens are disposable, but they are very expensive, so it seems that only a few people use them.

The same goes for Stella.

There is no reason to use an expensive ballpoint pen when you can just use the quill pen you normally use.

However, when I went to a place with trading merchants recently, I saw that they were selling rechargeable ballpoint pens.

So I quickly went there and bought 10 rechargeable ballpoint pens.

“Do I need to buy 10 of them?”

“To give five to our saints and to give them to our female priests.”

The problem with quills is that they are too cumbersome.

You have to dip the quill pen in ink from time to time before using it, right?

But it’s not a ballpoint pen.

If you turn the container in the center and disassemble it, an ink container will come out. You can fill the ink container with ink and use it.

It was nothing short of innovation in the office industry.

“I am?”

“What do you need a pen for?”

“It’s a gift?

“You don’t write.”

Isn’t it so unscrupulous to ask for something without doing even the slightest bit of writing? Mr. Dave?

Well, if you do office work, I would have bought it for you.

“I’ll buy you something else instead, so wait.

Still, there should be no discrimination.

I guess I should buy Dave and Cain another gift as well.

Haha… I’m so nice.

It would be hard to find an owner like this anywhere.

First of all, I should give the gift to my wife first and then give it to others as well.

I arrived at the office on the second floor holding a beautifully wrapped box.

The priests at the entrance smiled happily and let me inside.

I guess it’s like the smile he makes when he sees the box I’m holding.

I’m embarrassed.

Sister Stella’s attendants opened the door and let us in.

As I entered, I saw Stella, who was diligently writing something with a quill.

It’s cool too…

I think my wife is so cool.

And it’s so pretty.

To the point where I wondered if she was really my wife.

“Ah, sir. Are you here?”

Stella took off the glasses she was wearing and rubbed her eyes.

He approached me and held my hand to stop me from rubbing my eyes.

I hurt my cornea while rubbing my eyes before.

Now that I can use healing magic, I can treat your eyes as much as I want, but just because I can heal them doesn’t mean I can keep rubbing them.

I hope to live as pain-free as possible.

“Hehe, my eyes are itchy.”

“I’ll make it okay with magic.”

The reason your eyes feel itchy is because when dust enters them, something called histamine is released.

So, if you remove the detox magic from this guy, it won’t tickle.

“Huh?”

“It doesn’t tickle anymore, does it?”

“Yes… Surprisingly, it doesn’t tickle at all.”

Stella often gets things like conjunctivitis due to dry eyes.

So, if you let yourself rub your eyes, it will become a habit and it is not good, so you need to completely block it at the source.

“Next time you feel itchy, ask me to cast a detox spell on you. Then it won’t tickle.”

“Can I use it?”

“Hmm… Since the effect of your own magic power is reduced, wouldn’t it be better to ask someone else to do it for you?”

“That’s it too!”

Magical power that one is familiar with is less likely to react.

In my case, Stella’s sister, who is receiving the power of the goddess, has a disease called Wind Demon Disease, which is only good for magic, so it’s a bit out of the question.

Originally, I couldn’t use magic, so the only answer was Stella’s recovery magic, but now I can cast recovery magic on myself. How fortunate I am…

At least I won’t have to die without Stella by my side.

In fact, I would die even if I died, but I was worried that Stella would blame herself and say that I died because she was not by my side.

Just like Stella in her previous life…

I didn’t want to experience those feelings twice.

“But, sir, what are you hiding behind? Is it really a gift?!”

Earlier, I placed a box on the desk that said it would use a detox spell, and he started to take interest.

I wasn’t planning on making a surprise show anyway, so I just put it out there.

“Hmm… It’s a gift.”

“Wow~ What is it~♬”

Stella smiles brightly as she unpacks the box.

I ended up stroking her head.

“This…this!! No way!!”

“That’s exactly what you think.”

“Ballpoint pen!! Is this a ballpoint pen?!”

“It’s also a reusable ballpoint pen.”

“Reuse!”

She, who never used a ballpoint pen because it was disposable, must be really happy.

I also smiled when I saw her happy.
