My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

"And how is your son-in-law?

Giuseppe asked Bardio, his own aide, who offered him tea.

"He seemed to be working downstairs today. After working until about five moments, it looks like Calse and I went out to the city... Excuse me, sir. Who the hell is he?

"Mm-hmm? Are you concerned about my son-in-law?

"Well, I'm curious. I've known Calse a long time since she was adopted, so if you ask me, she's like a sister. Because her sister is close to a man who might be anywhere, she's naturally curious to replace her brother."

Giuseppe grinned, grinning at an aide who seemed seriously concerned about Calcedonia.

"I am glad that the Lord cares, but now that the presence of His Son-in-law has appeared in front of me, no one can stop Calse any longer. Once he's set a goal, whatever barriers are blocked, he'll get over it... no, he'll break it down, but he'll push it. As it has been so far. And the Lord will know it well."

"Sure... there's something radical about her."

You must have remembered her so far. Bardio smiled bitterly.

"If you asked me that, I'd like to know who he is."

"Hey, hey, hey. I'm sorry, but I can't tell the Lord about my son-in-law right now. I just thought I'd tell you I'm from a distant exotic country. And Calse has worked so hard to meet her son-in-law."

"Really...? But when it does, what will he do?

"... Morger, or..."

Remembering one man who was secretly giving his thoughts to Calcedonia, Giuseppe looked up.

After shopping with Calcedonia in the city, Tatsumi returned to the room addressed to him and fell into a fluttering sleeping area (bed).

Originally, the junior cleric would wake up in the dormitory, but in a few days Tatsumi, who plans to move to the whole house, has been allowed to use the first room that Giuseppe has shown him with courtesy.

In this world where you don't even want a springy mattress or anything else, a duvet substitute is used that packs hay that has been thoroughly dried and rubbed off in place of the mattress.

Even more luxurious, it packs feathers rather than hay into sheets, but it is a luxury used only by the wealthy, such as the aristocrats.

Whenever I fall asleep in bed like this, the unique aroma of hay wraps my whole body around me. Besides, it seems that some of the hay used in the beds in this room is mixed with vanilla that helps to remove fatigue, so that you can sleep well every night.

It's the bed and guitar that came with him to this world that makes Tatsumi think, as he grows large on that haystack bed.

They say Giuseppe keeps those two, and they'll bring them in there as soon as Tatsumi and Calcedonia are ready to move in a few days.

Of course I have an attachment to the bed I have always used, but Tatsumi, who also began to like this haystack bed in this world, wanted to be plagued by a luxurious choice of which to use in the future.

Nevertheless, today is the first day of my lower work in the Temple. Some things are unfamiliar and unexplained fatigue, and Tatsumi only begins to groan as she falls asleep in bed.

"... how about that? At least I need to take a bath before I go to bed..."

He forcefully drew back his consciousness, which was falling half asleep, and Tatsumi greeted the room after him.

In the corner of the Temple of Savaive there is a large bathing area for the inhabited clergy.

This bath is a large bath used by all those below the High Priest, naturally divided between men and women.

Even though they are small in their own private rooms when they become high priests and high priests, they often have mansions outside the temple, so this joint bathing area is not the first to be used.

Incidentally, status in the Temple is in order from above: Supreme Priest, High Priest, High Priest, Priest, Samurai Festival, High Clergy, Lower Clergy.

Within this, only one Supreme Priest exists in each denomination, and the High Priest often heads the temples everywhere. When it is also a small place of worship in the province, it is also often seen that high priests, instead of priests, are in charge.

They say the water in this bathroom is boiled around by wizards with (fire) lineages in the clergy, and naturally this role also turns to Calcedonia from time to time.

Tatsumi takes off the clothes she was wearing in the stripper and takes only what is closer to hand wiping than towels - and goes into the bathroom.

Priests are required to keep their bodies clean because of their role of serving God. For this reason, during the time after the sun set, many people used the bathing area to remove the fatigue and dirt of the day, and the bathing area was very crowded.

Mixed with such people, Tatsumi soaks carefully in the tub. Even though the world changed, only the comfort of the bath is with you, for God's sake, I accidentally heard him calling his name.

"Is that it? Is that a tatsumi? Were you here for a bath, too?

If I reacted to my voice and looked back, there was a junior cleric named Bath I met in the kitchen during the day.

He inadvertently sunk beside Tatsumi with a nostalgic grin as he exposed himself completely naked.

"Was Bath here too?

"Oh. A bath is the best way to relieve a day's work fatigue."

If Bath tells you to look around and look around, they do all feel comfortable soaking in the bath.

"Hmm. Baths are familiar in this country, too."

"Oh? Does that mean you have a bath in your hometown, too?

"Oh. I take a bath every day. Some of them come in during the day."

"That's luxurious again. Baths are hard to boil, so it's common sense in this country to only get in for a limited amount of time in the day, huh?

Unlike Japan, where water boils easily if you manipulate the panels at your fingertips, there are only a limited number of ways to boil large amounts of water here, so I guess you'll only take a bath within a limited amount of time.

Because of this, people push at that limited amount of time, so the large baths become crowded.

"But well, this is how we bathe every day. A lot of tough training and work, but you're right to be a cleric."

"So you couldn't take a bath every day before you became a cleric?

"Oh. I'm from a small village in the province. There was no mass bath like this king's capital, so there was only a river to wash my body. That's why it was one of my dreams to take a bath every day."

Stretching her body in the water, Bath smiles happily because her dreams have come true.

"No, how long has Tatsumi been in this temple? You didn't see anything until recently, did you?

"I came here two days ago."

"Whiskers, I knew it. But from now on, you're gonna be with something, right? Thanks again."

"Uh, that's the thing..."

Tatsumi informed Bath that she planned to leave the temple shortly and move to a whole house.

"Whoa. Come here. All of a sudden you're living in a whole house, huh? No, it sounds like Tatsumi has a last name, and maybe in his hometown, he's out of a noble house?

From the mouthfeel of Bath, I guess there are no surnames for civilians in this country.

"In my country, even civilians have surnames. So I'm not noble, I'm not rich."

Tatsumi stretches out her body in the water, just like Bath, washing her face with water.

After all, Tatsumi realizes that there must be a bath for the Japanese.

"But, Tatsumi? Living alone isn't wacky, is it?

Tatsumi's body, which was relaxed in the water, stiffened in an instant.

And Bath smiles slightly and meaningfully when he sees Tatsumi like that.

"Ho ho. From the looks of it, I knew you weren't alone, right? So, who's the other guy? After all, are you from this temple?

"Yes, no, the..."

Tatsumi wonders whether it is okay to give the name of Calcedonia here.

Based on what Bogard looks like during the day, if you find out the person you live with is Calcedonia, you'll probably be surprised at Bath as well. And there are many other people in this bathhouse besides him.

If you find yourself living with Calcedonia in it, you may not be excused for making a little noise. Tatsumi already knew that Calcedonia was special.

Bath pounded on Tatsumi's shoulder, desperately thinking about how to mislead the occasion with sweat in the water, as he said with his eyes, "I know, so don't tell everyone."

"Once you've moved in and settled down, you'll invite me to that house, won't you? So, introduce me to my wife again then. Oh, what if I help you when you move?

"Ah, oh. Copy that. I'll count on you then."

By having managed to pass the occasion, Tatsumi again removed the strength of her body in the water.

After that, he washes his body and head while talking to Bath about the unstoppable, then joins him in the bathroom after him.

Incidentally, soap is classified as a luxury product in the public, but junior clerics were also allowed to use soap in the temple.

Wipe your body and put on your clothes. And when Bath and I went out into the hallway, Tatsumi and I ran into a certain person.

"Oh, your husband? Was your husband in the bath, too?

While wiping wet hair by hand, it was of course Calcedonia who had spoken out so.

Her cheeks and wet hair, soaked in water and uplifted in a light peach color, are turning her into something even more glossy now than usual.

Seeing Calcedonia like that, Tatsumi's heart beat extremely hard.

"Ah, oh. Cheeko had a bath, too."

If Tatsumi responded with a strange apprehension that she might hear a beating heart from time to time, Calcedonia continued her words slightly down her face to be a little embarrassed.

"Oh, um... as long as your husband... may I visit your room later? I have so much to discuss with you about my upcoming... living with you... Oh, I'll bring you some baked sweets and tea with me then. Or is alcohol better than tea?

"Oh, yes, no, tea is fine"

"I understand. Later, then."

Was Tatsumi overjoyed that Tatsumi had accepted, and Calcedonia smiled and praised him, and the footsteps gently followed the scene.

If Tatsumi looks back to return to her room, smiling at her like that.

There was a figure of Bath solidifying with his eyes open in surprise.

"Hey, hey, Tatsumi... now... Virgin... Calcedonia... right?

"Oh, yeah... yeah, but..."

"Yes, from the current exchange between you and the Virgin... you live with me... no way..."

Well, now how do we delude it? No, just won't be able to delude you anymore.

With that in mind, Tatsumi sighed deeply giving up.

I look so hard at that guy's back as he walks out of the bathroom.

He desperately suppresses the flames that rage in his heart. If you can do it, you can beat that guy down right now, strangle him and just want to stop the roots of his breath, but you can't just go into action with all these people around you.

I didn't mean to ask, but I heard about the man.

That topic I heard from a conversation I had with another guy the same age as that guy, who seemed like a junior cleric, that I couldn't possibly ignore very much.

That's right.

That's the subject of that guy moving into a whole house soon.

He is also familiar with what it means for a cleric to move into a whole house. And who might that man be with when he moves into the whole house?

That man, Giuseppe Chrysoprese, the supreme priest of the Savive Church, invited himself by exotic.

Moreover, the Giuseppe calls that man "son-in-law" without hesitation.

In other words, the man was deliberately invited by his grandfather and adoptive father, Giuseppe, as the wedding partner of Calcedonia Chrysoprese.

He has sincere respect and affection for Giuseppe as the supreme priest of the Savaivist Church. And Calcedonia, whose adopted daughter is even called the Virgin, was also a respected opponent to him.

But more than that, he has secretly loved Calcedonia for a long time now, as one heterosexual. There's no way anyone anywhere can take that Calcedonia away from me.

He bites his back teeth off. Did you hear that sound, one of my colleagues who was soaking in water nearby turned to him with a strange face, but rushed off that gaze when he found out who he was.

Are you going to keep your mouth shut and take Calcedonia? Whatever relationship there is between that man and Calcedonia, that's none of my business.

The man had a dark grin before he even noticed it himself, as he felt the wild flames deeper into his heart.

Imagine holding your beloved Calcedonia in your arms with all your heart.
