My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

"Hey, Tatsumi"

"What's up, Bath?

When Tatsumi pulls up a bucket of water from the well, he transfers the water to the bucket he brought.

And put the empty bucket in the well like it did. Make sure the bucket sinks in the water and start pulling up the bucket again.

Bath, who was waiting behind that Tatsumi for the order of the wells, asked Tatsumi, who would do his best to repeat the same operation.

"Why are you working like this?

"Why... this is what we do, isn't it?

Today, the task assigned to Tatsumi and Bath was to carry the water drawn from the well.

Faced to Bogard as he did yesterday, Bogard chuckled when he saw Tatsumi and assigned him a water hauling job.

"If it's how it went yesterday, it's okay to leave the hard work to you, right?

Tatsumi, who had been explained the working procedures by Bogard, who said so, when he received a scale bar to take charge of the water bucket for transport and its buckets, headed to the well in the temple's backyard.

Bath and I joined together along the way. Apparently, he's on water hauling duty today, too.

"No, your daughter-in-law... I mean, who's gonna be your daughter-in-law, you're making a lot of money, right? Then you don't have to work so hard... you don't have to live well in the first place, do you?

"No, I can't believe I didn't do anything but let Cheeko work for me... I'm not going to be a hippo at all, am I?

"Hippo?"

"Oh, well. Let me... No, you don't call me a 'hippo' in this country about a man who lets a woman work and doesn't even work herself?

"No, you don't call me that. Sure, a man who lets a woman work and does nothing himself is often seen with cold eyes in this country, but unless the woman is a wizard. Because it's special just by being a wizard."

According to Bath, wizards don't have trouble eating just that in this country.

For example, even small kindling magic like lighting a candle or a candle, neighbors rely on that magic and leave money, daily necessities, food, etc., as a price.

In a world like the one where Tatsumi was, where it's not easy to start a fire with a lighter or something, if you can magically create a spark, that's all you'll be treasured. If other "Light Ball" spells can be used, they can sell magic lights in the evening as "Light Selling" in Tsuji and elsewhere, and make a fair amount of money overnight.

Listening to the wizard's position in this country, Tatsumi switched the pulled up bucket of water again to the bucket of water.

"Well, there's really only a few things I can do... but still, I want to help Cheeko a little bit"

"Oh well. I don't hate that, do I? Best you can do to help your wife."

"Ooh."

In response to Bath's encouragement, Tatsumi takes on the scale stick with her temper.

Hang two fairly large buckets of water. The scale bars naturally weigh quite a bit. However, just like yesterday's salary scale and when carrying firewood, Tatsumi didn't feel so heavy.

Even though he wonders so much about his body, Tatsumi sheds his energy on water transport at best.

I dropped off Tatsumi's back as she moved away, and now I leaned my neck in doubts as Bath pumped up the water.

"No, why would the Tatsumi guy call the Virgin 'Chico'?

The weight of the water bucket held up in the balance should weigh quite a bit.

Yet Tatsumi barely feels its weight. As if the contents of the water bucket were empty, Tatsumi lightly carries the water.

The destination for transporting water is the kitchen, bathroom, etc. The need for large quantities of water, especially in bathing areas, necessitates many rounds of water transport duty.

As the lower clerics on the same water-carrying duty as Tatsumi and Bath painstakingly carry the water, other lower clerics look at Tatsumi with surprise as she makes many rounds.

Tatsumi herself, as she did yesterday, can't help but wonder about her body.

Speaking of strange, so is the intense fatigue I felt after yesterday's work. Let Calcedonia say that the new American wizard is similar when he uses too much magic, but naturally Tatsumi doesn't remember using magic. What's more, Tatsumi doesn't know how to use magic in the first place.

At first I thought it was an increase in physical ability due to cross-world correction, but apparently it's not.

Though I will think of it as this, there is no way to answer this question no matter how much I think about it. Having so decided, Tatsumi considers other things while continuing to carry water.

"You're going to live with Chico... Yes, with me..."

Tatsumi grumbles, not making anyone listen.

What floats behind that his brain is the figure of a poor woman with one platinum hair.

Sleek length. Soft body with good meat. Extremely neat and beautiful appearance. Clear voice like ringing a bell.

And most importantly, burning in his memory is a breast of a level that can never be too big and then be called big enough to actually be the size he prefers.

I guess that's most impressive because he's still the teenager he cares most about that sort of thing.

She and Tatsumi will soon live together in one house. In itself, Tatsumi has also learned that - although there is a sense of being somewhat flushed by the surrounding momentum - it would be a lie to say that there is no distracting part.

It is in his mind that so many people, beginning with Giuseppe, assume that they and Calcedonia will marry.

Of course, if you are asked if you dislike Calcedonia, the answer is no.

It doesn't seem like she's definitely Cheeko's rebirth, and she can't possibly dislike someone who's been so devoted to favoring her by then.

Moreover, her appearance is also in the middle of Tatsumi's taste. As a single man, it is that there can be no temptation in this situation.

Still, I still feel awkward, I guess, because of the fact that suddenly marriage is imminent in front of me.

Until a few days ago, Tatsumi was about to lose even the energy to live. Even if Tatsumi told me to marry you, I honestly wouldn't be able to pin it.

Moreover, whatever its marital partner was in previous life, it has only been a few days since we met in this world.

If you are suddenly forced to make a pageant and told that a few days later the marriage has been decided, everyone must be in the same mood as Tatsumi is now.

Nevertheless, Calcedonia is already a family to Tatsumi.

Cheeko, who was the last little family left in Tatsumi. Calcedonia, which is the rebirth of that Chico and leaves behind the tricks and atmosphere of the previous life, is still a family for Tatsumi, even if she changes her appearance.

But there's something else I care about.

It's that Calcedonia, if you ask me, is in a position like a top idol in this world.

The Virgin whose name is known throughout the country, rather than in this city. If that Virgin were to suddenly marry a man who could not know anyone anywhere, an idea that would surely flow without all sorts of speculation and clapping would become a rumor.

Tatsumi is worried that it will not make her position and reputation worse later.

"... but as it stands, I have no choice but to rely on the Cheeks..."

I got my identity in this world, but that doesn't mean I can live with it. And the identity you got is also due to Giuseppe's grace.

".............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Yesterday, when I went shopping in the city with her, Calcedonia seemed really happy to buy all the household goods.

If that was an act for any reason, Tatsumi would undoubtedly fall into female disbelief.

Aside from the fact that Calcedonia herself doesn't want to marry Tatsumi, thank you. She also seems positive about the marriage.

Then let's not think deeply anymore, but live with our family, Chico, sometimes supporting her, sometimes with her support. Because "couple" is also one of the forms of family.

And now it's time to protect your family - no matter what happens - from your precious family.

Once again, Tatsumi was so determined that she regained the balance that she gently headed to the bathroom.

He had no idea at this time that there was someone staring at his back so still from the shadows.

Calcedonia, who, as usual, tightened her expression and walked quietly through the temple aisle.

But suddenly he was called by a well-acquainted voice, and Calcedonia stopped and looked back.

Ahead of turning around, the figure of the person as expected. Seeing that look soothes her face, which until then was harsh.

"I'd like to ask you a few questions... will time be all right now?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

The two of them turn to the temple garden because the stand-up is nothing.

The temple garden is also a social place for the faithful. Throughout the garden the faithful gathered a few thoughtfully and enjoyed conversations without any other love.

There, if the Virgin and the famous Calcedonia show themselves, naturally the gaze of the faithful will gather to her.

Besides, she's walking with two men. The faithful who see it engage in a variety of speculations with the Hiccups.

Although, of course, some of the faithful see it in the figure of Calcedonia in a tacit manner.

In such gaze and hiccups of conversation, Calcedonia advances with her grand chest up, as she is accustomed to.

And when I found an empty chair in the corner of the garden, I lowered my back alongside the person I had brought with me.

"So, what do you want to ask?

"... Soon you'll leave the temple and set up your home, won't you?

Calcedonia grins fluffily at the person who cuts out spicy somewhere she asks.

"Yeah, it's true. Did your grandfather tell you that story?

"No, I didn't hear it directly from under..."

"The story is true. And... I live with a certain lord."

Calcedonia brings to mind the shadow of the boy living with her in her brain and gives her a lighted but truly happy look.

When he saw that glossy smile, the heart of the person who had lowered his back next to her beat bitterly, and he did feel the twitching and darkening black thing creeping deep in his heart.

"Ki, is that the man you live with...? That junior cleric who came to the temple a few days ago and has been working from around yesterday..."

"Yeah, that's right. You must have seen him, too, right? He's the one I've been looking for."

and calcedonia smiling smilingly. Seeing that smile makes his heart quicker.

"... are you serious...?

"Huh?"

"As many as you... as many women as you, even called the Virgin, join such inferior clerics... so you can be happy!?"

A harsh tone that doesn't even seem to be warm to him from time to time. Calcedonia tells him clearly without turning off her happy grin, thinking it doesn't even look like him.

"That's a little different. Yeah, maybe not after all. Instead of me making that one happy, I make that one happy. And... and if I could be happier, that would be the supreme happiness for me."

Tatsumi experienced a hard past. To lead him to happiness, Calcedonia summoned him to this world.

If Tatsumi had lived a full life in the original world, Calcedonia would not have summoned him either. Sure, it was her sorrow to reunite with Tatsumi, but Calcedonia also knows that it's not about doing it until it destroys his full life.

"It's happier for me to live with him."

"Well... your resolve hasn't changed..."

Whereas Calcedonia smiled like a large wheel of flowers, he covered his face with both hands as he turned to the ground.

Disappointed and dropped shoulders, no, his entire body starts shaking out raggedly.

"Duh, what's going on...?

Calcedonia unexpectedly frowns at his appearance as he begins to create an unusual atmosphere.

The first time I met him was when Calcedonia was taken over by Giuseppe. I've known him a long time since, but in her memory he has always been a quiet person with a gentle grin.

I didn't know he'd give it a different vibe to this point. Calcedonia felt something nasty and tried to reach for that fiercely trembling shoulder.

That's when Calcedonia finally realizes he's saying something with a small voice about bumps while he's facing the ground.

"..................................................................................................................................................."

Spooky voice that echoes from the bottom of the earth. Calcedonia pulled back the hand she was about to stretch and stood up reflexively well.

"... you... no way..."

A trembling voice falls zero from Calcedonia's poor lips.

He looked up as if he had reacted to that voice, and he looked at Calcedonia with his madly lodged eyes and smiled with a sticky grin.

"Calcedonia... you don't give it to anyone... you... you belong to me..."

His eyes, staring at Calcedonia still, dwelt in a red light unlikely to man.
