I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

234 – Part 2 Episode 62, Luna Growing (2)

As I watched the carriages rattling behind me, it suddenly became dark outside.

Since there wasn’t much left until today’s destination, I kept running. If it weren’t for that, I would have already stopped but looking at the sky felt strange.

You’re really going to a place far away from the church’s headquarters.

In the case of Lagoon City, it wasn’t far from Sabang Village, where the church’s headquarters was located, so I was reassured that I could always return quickly because it was psychologically close.

However, this time, I feel a little anxious because I feel like I am moving away from home because I think I am going to a place that is difficult to return to in one day.

For me, who considers home to be my best resting place, no matter how comfortable a carriage or vacation spot may be, it doesn’t seem to have much meaning.

That means our home is cozy, comfortable, and precious, right?

Now, when I think of a place to return to, the only place that comes to mind is my home.

“Is it a resort…”

Actually, even though it’s a resort, I’m still not sure if Stella and I can get a good rest.

I brought a pillow just in case, but I doubt whether I will be able to sleep well.

It’ll be okay, right?

Well, if you’re having a hard time, you can just apologize to the goddess and go back home.

Let’s just ask them to change it to not working from home and taking a good rest for 3 months.

Ah, but if you do that, it might be a bit difficult because bringing so many people with you would be in vain.

Anyway, even if it’s twisted, it’s still tightly twisted.

“Apuaah!! Oh my!!”

“Miss Luna, I think you really like your mother and father~”

My daughter is practicing toddling while holding her mother’s hand in a stopped carriage.

In the background, Eri is assisting Luna so that she can walk properly.

Luna can now not only say a few words, but also have a conversation to the point where communication is possible.

You can even walk for a little while.

I heard babies grow really fast.

The baby is only 18 months old.

As I was staring at Luna with that thought in mind, she began to approach me.

As I squatted in front of him and spread my arms, he toddled over and fell down with a crash!

“Lady Luna!!”

“Boo…”

Eri was embarrassed and tried to approach, but Stella stopped her.

This was because it was the right time to achieve what Stella had always said, wishing she would learn how to get up on her own even if she falls.

More than that, our Luna…

Fortunately, Luna didn’t shed any tears.

He stood up as if the fall was nothing!

After all, my daughter.

Only then can she be called Stella’s sister’s daughter!

“Luna, dad is here, so walk slowly.”

I opened my arms wide once again.

Luna sniffed once and then toddled off again.

And then, step by step, he finally came into my arms.

“It hurts!!”

“My daughter did a good job. That’s right, that’s right.”

As soon as he was hugged by me, he burst into tears.

Although it was a short walk of only about ten steps, it must have been a long distance for Luna, as if she had finished a long marathon.

I must have been like that when I was young.

Not only Stella, but also Eri.

When we were all young, it must have been difficult to even walk ten steps like Luna.

“Then shall we go eat?”

“Sniff…”

He picked up Luna, who was barely standing, and got off the carriage.

When I got off the carriage, the knights and attendant priests had already finished preparing.

I originally planned to camp today.

However, I happened to see a large lodging establishment on the way, so I plan to sleep there.

In fact, you can sleep in the carriage because there is a bed inside the carriage.

It seems that the knights decided that it was better to sleep inside the building rather than in the carriage.

Still, you have to eat outside.

If you include 50 knights, 30 priests, and 15 maids, the number would be 95, so it would be difficult for a lodging establishment to do it.

That’s why we said we would cook our own food outside.

Since I originally planned to camp until I got to the resort, it won’t change much.

“Oh, there’s a river right in front? Is there a silver fish too?”

The rivers of Gyodanguk are full of silverfish.

There is nothing more delicious than catching a sweetfish with a fishing rod, sprinkling salt on it, and grilling it over an open fire.

Ugh… should you try it today?

“The river of sweetfish that flows through my nostalgic hometown~”

I finished preparing the fishing rod while reciting a mysterious epitaph that came to mind because of the slang.

It is not difficult as all you have to do is hang a thread from a tree branch lying on the street and attach a needle, weight, and bait.

Can you catch it with this?

This is quite a catch.

There are many times when you can catch a better catch than swinging an expensive fishing rod.

I don’t know why…

Anyway, let’s fish out a bunch of sweetfish.

After digging in the ground, I used an earthworm as bait and dipped the fishing rod into the river.

As I was casting my fishing rod and fishing for hours, Stella came and sat down next to me.

He took Luna in my arms, hugged her, and patted her back.

It is not specifically an action for digestion.

Luna likes to be patted or patted on the back, so she does it often.

I wondered why he liked being patted on the back, but I think he was influenced by me.

I recently found out that strangely enough, I feel a sense of security when someone pats me on the back.

A pat on the back makes you feel stable.

You might think it’s a little strange, but it’s true.

“Our Luna likes to be patted on the back like her dad.”

“Mom…”

And Luna falls asleep when you pat her back.

It’s not some kind of hypnosis…

Still, I think being a maid or nanny is a bit more comfortable because of this.

They say that helping children raise their children by sleeping as much as possible doesn’t seem to be wrong.

“Sister, I have to eat soon. What should I do if I let you sleep?”

“Oh, I forgot about that.”

Did I really forget?

Sister Stella stroked Luna’s forehead and cheek and laughed.

***

By the time all the grilled sweetfish are cooked.

The knights and attendant priests finished their work and gathered in one place.

In my case, I caught quite a few sweetfish, so I grilled them over an open fire so that people who wanted to eat them could eat them.

If you leave it like this in front of the fire, people who want to eat it will take it of their own accord.

“How many did you catch?”

“Wouldn’t there be forty?”

“…is that possible?”

“When I dip the fishing rod, they just come up.”

It seems that he is a river with a lot of slang.

When I put bait on the fishing rod and dipped the fishing rod, the silverfish came right up.

It was a bit of a strange sight, but it would be good if you caught a lot.

While I was having this conversation with Dave, the knights and priests started taking silverfish, so I also picked up a skewer.

Sweet fish that looks delicious with just the right amount of oil removed.

For reference, I don’t really like internal organs, so I cleaned them all and grilled them.

In a twisty way.

Ugh… Ayu has to be curly after all.

“It’s been a while since I ate outside like this.”

“Don’t you feel like you’re on vacation already?”

“That went too far.”

It feels more like camping than vacation.

There were times when we ate together in the yard to make it feel like camping at home…

“Ugh…”

While Stella went to get soup, Luna woke up.

It seems that I was drawn to the delicious smell and raised my eyes.

This part is exactly the same as Stella.

Stella also wakes up if you put food up to her nose while she sleeps.

“Luna are you awake? Do you want to eat?”

Luna nodded, although she wasn’t sure if she understood correctly.

Even though you woke up from sleep, you definitely seem to have an appetite.

Shall we take this opportunity to give you some silverfish?

The fish flesh is soft, so I think it will be okay.

I split the flesh of the sweetfish with a fork, removed the bones, and slightly lifted the boneless flesh.

I gently placed the flesh of the cut-up sweetfish on a spoon and slowly brought it to Luna.

“Ah~”

When I opened my mouth wide to tell Luna to open her mouth wide, Luna also opened her mouth wide.

I slowly put the spoon in my mouth and gently placed the flesh of the sweetfish on Luna’s tongue.

And filth…

The fish meat will also be used in baby food, so I guess Luna can eat enough of it.

“What do you think? Is it delicious?”

Are you going to nod your head again this time?

As I was staring at Luna with that thought in mind, I started to make an ambiguous expression.

I guess I ordered the fish too early.

“For some reason I didn’t bring rice.”

Normally, fish should be eaten with rice.

If only I had rice, I would have definitely been able to satisfy Luna’s appetite, but I sighed because I was so disappointed.

There must be a place that sells rice at the resort, right?

“Now, since we ate fish, shall we eat?”

Luna’s meal was just happened to be brought by the maid.

There were only foods that were a bit soft for adults, but they were perfect for Luna to eat.

Even adults might be able to enjoy it if they just add a lot of salt.

However, I think I’ll season it and eat it with soup and bread.
