My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Carsin's subsequent guide to Tatsumi and Calcedonia was a house in a section close to the city centre.

"What about here and so on? Calcedonia's husband, Tatsumi, has made a modest home…"

A small house built with red bricks piled up, like you often see in the heart of the city.

Even though it is small, it would fall into a large category as a house of ordinary people, compared to the noble mansions we have seen so far.

The house is made of stone, but the floors are properly slated. There are four rooms in total. One is a big room right through the front door, I guess it's a living room. There are two rooms separated from each other by doors, apparently to be used as bedrooms. And there was also a small but one room in the attic.

Others include a kitchen, a wake-up place and a toilet. Exactly on a cultural level in this world, the water washing toilet did not exist and seemed to be the type to store in the hole.

This house is small but also has a garden and a backyard, with a dedicated well in the backyard.

Since it is normal for ordinary people to use the wells that exist everywhere in the city in common, this house with its own dedicated wells is still a home for the wealthy among the common people to live in.

Other than that, the one that caught Tatsumi's eye was a box-shaped one that crept through a large rock that had been placed close to the backyard.

"What would this be?

"This is it, Master Tatsumi. The owner in front of this house wanted a bath in the house, so he ordered this kind of rock bath for a wizard with a suitability system in the land."

"Huh? So this is a bath... not a bath, is it?

"Yeah, that's right. From what I've seen, you may not know Tatsumi because he seems to be from another country, but this country's Xiao Moon Festival has to do with the strength of the Ice Spirit, and there is a lot of snow and harsh cold. It is still the old custom of this country to warm up slowly in the bath during harsh cold weather. Nevertheless, there is no first house with a bath at home if not noble either. So there are some common bathing areas in the city."

By the way, if you're putting water up in the bath, they either boil the water in a large pan or something and pour it into the hot tub, or hire a wizard with a (fire) aptitude system to heat and boil the water strained in the hot tub.

Because of the manpower, time and cost of both, they can't put baths in their homes without a wealthy house where nobles and other servants can hire them.

"Which means, after all, the owner in front of this house was quite wealthy"

"Right. Sure, he said he was a successful person in some business, a house that was used as a place to live after his retirement after that person gave up business to his son. But... after the person's death, my son failed in business and made a big hole, and this house was put up for sale to fill that hole"

"What do you say, sir?

Calcedonia speaks to Tatsumi, who is slowly looking around the house.

"Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? If only Chico would, let's do it here."

"I have no differences either. It's not far from here, is it? So, Master Sankey Rai. What is the price of this house?

"Thank you! It's the price of the house here..."

Tatsumi, who doesn't know the price standard, leaves all the price negotiations to Calcedonia and takes another slow look around the house.

In Japan, it's a house the size of 3LDK to 4LDK. It would be too much for both of us to live together.

Naturally there is nothing furniture or anything like that right now, but it must also be fun to think with Calcedonia, such as what furniture you are going to put where.

By the way, what are we going to do with the house cost? I don't know how much of an asset Giuseppe or Calcedonia has, but is there a mortgage or something in this world as well?

"Let's ask Cheeko later. It's just painful to have them pay you in full, so I need to find a job as soon as possible and help Cheeko financially... Until then, I need to do anything under the temple"

It was only a few moments later that Tatsumi was greatly surprised by Calcedonia's financial power to learn that the price of this house was equivalent to the cost of living of the general public for several years, and to pay that much.

Return to the Temple.

Although I bought the house, I can't live in it right away.

Because I have furniture, and it's been abandoned for a while, so I need some rework. Anyway, if the furniture was reworked, Carsin said he would arrange it as it was, so I left it to him, and Tatsumi and Calcedonia decided to return to the temple once.

"What is it, my lord...?

Calcedonia looks worried at Tatsumi walking with disappointment and dropping her shoulder.

"No, it's okay... I just got stuck with the real thing..."

Apparently, Calcedonia makes quite a bit of money. That is the reality that Tatsumi was reminded of.

Sure, yesterday, she said something that seemed to earn quite a bit, but she still didn't think she could afford to pay the average citizen an amount equivalent to years of living.

After all, I wonder if religious relations will be profitable in this world, for Christ's sake, Tatsumi thinks. Even in the original world, the vague image of Tatsumi's religion was that religion, whatever its type, was profitable.

Nevertheless, from now on, Calcedonia and I are going to live together.

Even though he was a former pet wolf mainko, Calcedonia is now rarely human, and quite beautiful. I still wonder if it's a dream, such as living with a woman like that, Tatsumi, but this is not a dream.

Indeed, in Tatsumi, we have already been able to recognize that Calcedonia is a family. That's why I was just too pitiful myself to cuddle it all to Calcedonia from what to what.

Even if it doesn't reach her here, I have to make a lot of money myself.

It was easy to imagine that Tatsumi, who was oblivious to this world, would have to work quite hard to make up her mind.

"I can do it too, and it's a very lucrative job... there's no way I can have such a convenient job..."

Even if there was such a job, someone would be taking that job so badly.

"At a time like this, when it comes to classics of transworldly things, I'm still an adventurer..."

Does the profession of adventurer actually exist? Assuming it exists, how much money can it make?

"Hey, Cheeko. Are there adventurers in this world?

"Bowkensha......? I have never heard of them, but what are they like?

An adventurer is anything that takes on a job that is dangerous for the price of money. Exorcising demons and other things that do harm to people, or serving as escorts for pedestrians. Sometimes they dive into labyrinths such as ancient ruins and fight demons nesting in labyrinths to raise treasures to sleep there, etc.

Tatsumi explained to Calcedonia the typical adventurer who appears in games, novels, etc.

"Your husband said Bowkensha and I don't exist, but if I dare say so, would the Warcraft hunt be close to it"

"Warcraft hunting?

Apparently, as the Kings Road unfolds, there are monsters such as Warcraft in this world.

Dangerous species exist among ordinary wildlife, but beings called warcraft draw a line with them, Calcedonia says.

"Some warcraft can even cause phenomena very similar to magic, which can be very dangerous if they appear near people. Weak predators are the iron rule of the world, and it is certainly not one of nature's dishes that the mighty, the warcraft, strikes and feeds the weak, the weak. But that doesn't mean humans have to shut up and feed on warcraft either. So there are those who are called Warcraft Hunters to dispel the dangerous Warcraft."

Naturally, it will take a lot of consideration to hire those called the Warcraft Hunters. You challenge dangerous warcraft, so it would be natural for them to seek a reward commensurate with the danger.

In addition, some Warcraft species have meat suitable for consumption, and fur, scales, nails, fangs, bones, etc., are also used as various materials.

For this reason, many warcraft hunts are not requested, but rather actively hunt for them by searching for them themselves. A warcraft that can be used as a meat or ingredient can earn a considerable amount of money by hunting one head.

"But won't armies and soldiers, such as nations and lords, move towards the exorcism of warcraft?

"Of course, His Majesty the King and lords everywhere may send soldiers under his command. But army knights and soldiers specialize in interpersonal combat only. When an opponent becomes an outsider warcraft, he hears that something is different and he can't fully demonstrate his prowess. In addition, requests for the extermination of Warcraft often require a rush, so it seems that hunters of Warcraft who are fast starters often ask for them from the beginning."

After listening to Calcedonia, Tatsumi is convinced that I see. In every world, the bureau job still seems to be something with heavy hips.

"Later, requests for demonic extermination may also come to the temple to which we belong"

"Huh? Even in the temple?

"Yes, there are many requests sent to our temple to exorcise demons, not ordinary warcraft."

Some of the monsters of this world are supposed to be the so-called spiritual bodies that do not have flesh.

Such monsters are collectively referred to as "demons" and are not very dangerous in this state, but if this "demon" possesses other wildlife or warcraft, it becomes a more powerful monster than the normal warcraft. They call wildlife and warcraft possessed by the Demon "demons" to distinguish them from the rest.

"Demons" increase the appetite, destructive impulses, and sense of territory of possessed animals and warcraft, transforming them into demons offended by madness that strike others without sight.

Even if we defeated the demons, it only defeated possessed animals and warcraft. The "demon" of the mental body, which is the body, is not physically struck, so he abandons the defeated tentative early flesh, and the "demon" is possessed again to another flesh.

For this reason, the only way to extinguish the Demon is to use the magic of the Demons present in the system of Light and Holy.

There are also weapons in the world that have been granted the same effect as the magic of the Demonic Spirit, but their number is extremely small, and such weapons are called holy swords, holy spears, etc.

"Or, possibly, Chico..."

"Yes, I also have a (holy) lineage of fitness, so I may be asked to complain about the Devil. He who, like me, belongs to the temple and exorcises the Demon is called the Demon Master, distinguished from the Warcraft hunt in Shirai."

Apparently, she had more assets than Tatsumi expected because of her reward as this demonic master.

In addition, her income includes rewards for being asked to perform therapeutic magic. Of course, not all the rewards of the treatment will be hers, and about half the price can be paid to the Temple of Savaivo, to which she belongs, but her high (holy) lineage of fitness and superior magic have a high reputation for healing magic, which seems to keep asking for healing magic from all over.

It is true that Calcedonia has an aptitude lineage other than "Holy", but the most aptitude lineage among them is still "Holy".

Its ability to manipulate therapeutic magic at a high level and its track record as an exorcist. That was one of the two names she was called "Virgin".

"" Demon "... hey. You have a horrible monster in this world. But a demon possessed by a normal warcraft and a [demon]... how can you tell?

A mere warcraft and a demon possessed by the Demon. If that distinction is not made, those who request or receive expulsion will have difficulty.

I asked for a Warcraft hunt because I thought it was a normal Warcraft, but if it was actually a Demon possessed by [the Demon], it could be the worst that Warcraft hunt could have lost its life, rather than out of hand in a Warcraft hunt.

If so, is there any way to distinguish it? That's what I thought and asked Calcedonia, and she said there was still a way to tell.

"The demon possessed by the Demon glows with both eyes in disastrous red. The brilliance is so clear, even during the day, that you rarely missee it."

"Huh? My eyes are red...?

Unexpectedly, Tatsumi stared into the eyes like Calcedonia's red ball (Ruby).

And it's rare for Calcedonia, and when you narrow your eyes all the way, you turn sideways to escape Tatsumi's gaze.

"... because my eyes are these colors... I was often bullied when I was little..."

"Ah......!! Oh, I'm sorry!! Oh, I, I didn't mean to... Huh!!"

Even though I didn't know it, Tatsumi decided on the trauma of Calcedonia. He hurriedly bows his head deeply on the spot and apologizes.

"Never mind. Because they don't say much about eye color now."

That's what Calcedonia said and smiled at, but she actually knows it too. That those who do not often think of her in the shadows are jealous of her strength as a high wizard and slapping her in the pussy, "Isn't it because [the devil] is actually possessed of that much magic?"

Of course, it is a total assignment, and Calcedonia does not possess the Demon. A human being with a higher (holy) lineage of fitness than she is is, in a sense, a natural enemy to the Demon. For this reason, the Demon cannot possess Calcedonia even if he wants to possess it.

"But the scariest thing about demons is if they are possessed by humans."

"What!? Do you possess the Devil?

"Yes. Unlike animals and warcraft, humans have a variety of desires. One theory says that if these desires become too great, they will call [the devil]. But so far, there are no wise men who have proven it."

It is also said that in the event of an unemployed death, the "demon" will possess the body because it is attracted to the resentment. In fact, "demons" may possess corpses abandoned on the battlefield, and the corpses may move out.

Listening to Calcedonia, Tatsumi understood that it was about the so-called Undead Monster.

"It is generally said that the more possessed human abilities you have, the greater the desire you have, the more capable you will be if you become a demon."

"Thinking about it, you really are a nasty monster, that demon."

As they walked toward the temple, they talked more about this and about warcraft and demons.

Even the demons that Calcedonia has actually exorcised so far and the outrageous monsters of the mythological class that appear in magpies, legends, etc.

Listening to those stories, he became more and more interested in the Tatsumi for the warcraft and demons he had yet to see.

I've come to a different world around the corner, so I'd like to actually see warcraft and demons for once or so. Besides, adventure is hard if you call it a different world. Tatsumi, only sixteen years old, had a deep-rooted pure heart yearning for adventure.

When Tatsumi is giving thought to the monsters he has yet to see, the temple gradually approaches.

When I heard of the Temple, Tatsumi somehow had the image of the great things of a common Christian church, but the exterior of it that I actually saw was more of a Western castle-like building than a church or a temple.

A large bell is caught down in an elongated tower protruding from the roof of a building like its castle, where only it overlaps with the images of the temples and churches of Tatsumi.

"Well. Let me sleep in the temple until the house is ready, and I'll live while I work."

"Good luck with that, huh? If you have any problems, say anything because I can help you."

Entering the temple from the front entrance, where the gatekeeper with the axe spear is giving a stare, while being encouraged by Calcedonia with a smile.

Of course I'm with Calcedonia, so there's nothing the gatekeeper can blame me for. Most importantly, the entrance to and exit from the temple is open to anyone.

"First, I have to report to Mr. Giuseppe that the house has been decided."

"Right. Your grandfather will be in your office by now."

When Calcedonia showed me to Giuseppe's office and the two of them walked out.

"Calse? I didn't see you today, but were you out somewhere?

From behind them there was a voice of a young man with a low and calm impression.
