My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Slowly.

The feeling of slowly surfacing.

Tatsumi's consciousness, which was swaying through the warm and comfortable darkness, slowly began to surface towards awakening.

The darkness that surrounded them became thinner and gradually brighter. Along with that, Tatsumi's consciousness becomes clear.

Huh.

I felt like someone called me a name.

Is that my father, my mother, or my sister?

Someone in the family who has been around for a long time. The voice that someone calls his name also grows a little louder as Tatsumi's consciousness surfaces.

Eventually, just before his consciousness completely surfaced. Behind his brain came the face of one beautiful woman with long platinum (platinum) hair and red eyes.

As soon as he lifted the eye lid, the bright light pricked his eyes like a needle, and Tatsumi closed his eyes again reflectively.

Still, with a view that was only visible for a moment, Tatsumi could tell that the place where she was was was the room given to him, in the Temple of Savaivo.

I'll probably open the eye lid again. At first I had a tiny eye for glare, but soon I get used to that, too.

I hear Tatsumi was put to bed in the guest room. Sleeping asleep is what, so I slowly woke up my upper body.

As soon as possible, I felt tired as if I had even gotten lead into the core of my body. Apparently quite a bit of tiredness remains.

Still, I managed to get my upper body up and slowly looked around the room, inadvertently opening the door to the entrance and exit of the room, from which a platinum-haired woman, completely familiar, entered the room.

The woman sees Tatsumi waking up physically on the bed and opens her eyes to reveal her surprise.

"Your husband...?

A plundering voice fell zero from the woman's cherry blossom lips.

Then, from both eyes, like its red balls (ruby), the puffy and clear Shizuku begin to flow.

And before Tatsumi could say anything, she - Calcedonia - hugged Tatsumi.

Suddenly held by Calcedonia, Tatsumi falls back into bed without being able to support her body.

"... good... ho, really good... your husband's consciousness is back... ho, really..."

Calcedonia whining in tears as Gugu.

Something like this happened before, when Tatsumi thought that.

Unexpectedly, there was a severe pain in my chest.

How could you have this pain in your chest? and when Tatsumi tilted his neck inside, he finally remembered the backdrop of things too.

Fight for your life against Baldio, Giuseppe's aide, and the Freedom Knight Morgarnike, possessed by a dreaded monster called the Demon.

"Your husband...? Can I help you?

Is it because Tatsumi's body was suddenly stretched? Calcedonia, realizing that his condition was strange, woke up the body that was holding him to be covered over Tatsumi.

"Also, could a chest wound hurt...? Sorry, too!! What I did..."

Calcedonia rushes down from bed, with a sticky head down.

"It's okay, Cheeko. It did hurt a little, but because of that pain, it made my head clear. Besides, Chico is safe and above all."

"Oh, thank you. But just in case, let me check the wound again."

Tatsumi nodded at Calcedonia's suggestion that she take off the clothes on her upper body she was wearing.

If I looked at my body again, I could see a scar running straight into the chest plate area. Calcedonia also puts her face close to the scar and checks the specifics of the wound while gently touching it.

"Your wound is completely blocked. Still that deep so the pain could still linger for a while......"

"Well... that's no choice. With all those wounds, my life was saved, but I didn't make any money."

"But... you left a scar..."

With a painful look on his face, Calcedonia gently slipped her fingertips into the chest scar of Tatsumi.

"He said you don't have to worry about it. Unlike a woman, there's nothing wrong with having one or two wounds on a man's body."

If Tatsumi once again remembers the current situation while enduring the supple fingertip feel tickle on her chest.

I'm in a naked position on the bed right now, waking up only my torso.

Calcedonia was bringing her neat appearance extremely close to me, even though I was trying to confirm the scar.

Naturally, that means the distance between the two is extremely close.

If you move your gaze a little, you can see that Calcedonia's heavily asserted double-breasted hills draw beautiful curves even from above the clergy clothes.

Tatsumi clearly realized that her heart beat faster.

"What's wrong? Looks like your temperature suddenly went up...?

"Yes, no, no, no, no. Do it!! Hey, it's nothing, yeah!!"

I'm sorry my eyes nailed to her chest. Oh, I'm too close. I'm embarrassed to distance myself from her. Tatsumi appealed desperately for nothing while turning her face bright red.

But no matter how hard you try to hide it, when it gets passed on, it gets passed on.

Calcedonia goes bright red at the end of Tatsumi's gaze and remembering her current state.

"Also, already............!! If your husband............!!"

Hiding his chest with both hands, he turns his face just a little angry at Tatsumi. Still, Calcedonia had a bright red face with a delightful look.

"Your husband... well, if that's what you want... well, I... well, that's not it..."

"Chico..."

While they turn bright red with each other, the distance between their faces creeps closer together.

And when that distance reaches about one fist.

"Oh come on!!"

A deliberate cough I heard all of a sudden. Tatsumi and Calcedonia rush away to be played.

"It's not a good thing that your lords are close to each other, and it's a pleasure to be with you... at least after you close the door to the room. For once, this is the house of the Holy God... in the temple."

And a giuseppe with a frightened face stood at the entrance and exit of the room where the door had been left open.

Apparently, when Calcedonia came into the room, she was surprised that Tatsumi's consciousness was back and forgot to close the door.

Among the rooms given to Tatsumi, Calcedonia moves one of the chairs to the side of the bed where Tatsumi lies, where Giuseppe sits down.

And Calcedonia herself stood behind that Giuseppe and refrained.

"First of all, my son-in-law's consciousness is restored."

Remembering how Giuseppe said it and how she disturbed Calcedonia earlier, Tatsumi asks the questions she felt.

"Maybe... I've been asleep for a long time...?

"Dear Left, since then... today is the third day since the disturbances in the temple garden. In the meantime, your Lord has been asleep."

"Mi, three days...? So......?

Tatsumi revealed her surprise when she heard she had been asleep for three days. As for him, the disturbance with the Demon felt like earlier.

"My son-in-law is one of the parties, so I'll have to explain everything from then on. But before you do, how far do you remember the Lord?

That's what Giuseppe asks me again, and Tatsumi tries to remember it in turn.

In the temple garden, I heard that Bardio, Giuseppe's aide, was possessed by the Demon and attacked by Calcedonia.

That he headed to the garden to help Calcedonia with Morgarnike, who was with him at that time.

So by the hands of Morgarnike and Calcedonia, he succeeded in expelling the Demon from Baldio's body.

Sometimes that "demon" has now taken possession of Morgarnike and struck Calcedonia again.

And that he flew out selflessly obsessed before the murder blade approaching Calcedonia and was slashed in her place.

That's all Tatsumi clearly remembers. I remember with exasperation that I was then challenged to Morgarnike with all my heart wanting to help Calcedonia, but I don't remember it very well to the specifics.

"... so the Lord doesn't remember that he used magic?

"Oh, I do magic...? But I don't have magic..."

"Exactly. While the Lord slept, of course, he still doesn't feel any magic from you. Bye..."

"But I saw it clearly. Your husband uses magic... and the magic of the legendary system of Heaven."

Calcedonia and Giuseppe explained to Tatsumi what the system called "Heaven" looked like.

Once, only one user existed a phantom...... no, the legendary aptitude system. Tatsumi used the magic of Heaven even though he was unconscious.

It's hard for Russia to believe you said that, but still I don't even think Giuseppe or Calcedonia are lying.

If so, I guess I really used magic even called legend. Honestly, it's incredible.

And Tatsumi wasn't the only one who was confused. Giuseppe and Calcedonia were also bewildered by incomprehensible facts.

There is no doubt that Tatsumi used the magic of "Heaven" - "Moment Transfer". Because Calcedonia herself witnessed the moment.

But I still can't feel magic from Tatsumi right now. There's no way you can use magic on Tatsumi without magic.

"... hmm?

"... ah?

Giuseppe and Calcedonia, whose gaze of confusion was still pointed at Tatsumi, raised a small and surprising voice.

Now Tatsumi had never noticed how the two of them were, opening or closing their own hands to be sure of something. From Tatsumi's body, only a small amount of magic was felt.

Really slight magic that doesn't even know the exact color of magic light. But Giuseppe and Calcedonia did see the glow of magic from the unwitting Tatsumi.

"Oh, my grandfather... what does this mean...?

"Mmm... Honestly, I don't even know. But I did feel magic from my son-in-law."

With a long, white beard, Giuseppe thinks about Tatsumi's magic.

In Japan, where Tatsumi lived, there was a saying, "More than the back of a tortoise," but Giuseppe and I have not accumulated years in vain.

The enormous amount of knowledge that has accumulated with age is in his head. Giuseppe was now looking for the same events that were happening to Tatsumi from that accumulated knowledge.

Eventually, in his head, only one thing emerges that seems to fall under that event.

"What if... My son-in-law deals with exogenous vegetables, not endogenous vegetables...?

"Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?"

Calcedonia opened her eyes and was surprised at the answer Giuseppe had derived.

On the other hand, Tatsumi, who was supposed to be a party, looked decent, not knowing why Calcedonia was so surprised.

"Hey, Cheeko? What did Mr Giuseppe just say about 'nyso' or 'geyso'?

"Ah, yes. What are endogenous and exogenous?"

This world is full of magic everywhere. To the meadows through which the herbivores rush, to the alpine mountains, which cannot be reached except by birds, to the great sea, the paradise of the fishes, and in the city where the people live.

The magic that abounds in such a world is called "exogenous," and the magic that a person or other organism encloses in its body is called "endogenous."

And naturally, the amount of magic that fills the world is far greater than the magic that each person encloses.

For example, the magic that Calcedonia encloses is top notch for the amount of magic that a person has personally, but there is still a difference between single-handedly raised water and sea water full of the ocean compared to the magic that fills the world.

Giuseppe guessed that the magic full of that world - the exogenous vegetation - was not the magic Tatsumi was dealing with.

"Then my son-in-law himself does not possess magic. I don't usually feel any magic, but it's no wonder. My son-in-law takes as much magic into his body as he needs to when he needs it. I don't know, there's no certainty, but if you think about it, there's a point… Or at least I can't think of any other reason."

Are you impressed or frightened? Giuseppe closed with a tone that was not both.

"So, Cheeko... you know, dealing with exogenous or something... is that so unusual?

"It's not uncommon. Humans can't handle exogenous vegetables, can they?

It is possible to draw magic formations and collect exogenous elements during ritual magic, but there is no precedent for dealing with exogenous elements in individuals.

Maybe there have been a few wizards in the past who can handle exogenous elements, but at least not in records, inheritance, etc. In other words, if Giuseppe's speculation is correct, Tatsumi will be the first "exogenous use" in history.

"If your grandfather's guess is correct, your husband has practically no magic to run out of. If necessary, we collect them from the surroundings."

"But don't overstate that fact, okay? For example, some places are more magical than others, like the basement of the temple that summoned the Lord, while others, on the contrary, have less magic or no magic at all. In a place like this, it will be difficult to gather magic for as many lords as you want."

It is essentially Tatsumi equal to having an inexhaustible amount of magic, but on the contrary, you cannot keep a certain amount of magic pooled like a normal wizard, and you have to rely only on the magic that is around you.

That's arguably a disadvantage over a normal wizard.

Tatsumi, who was silently listening to the words of Calcedonia and Giuseppe, whilst mysteriously nodding to Giuseppe's advice, his face shines in anticipation.

The unknown power of magic that I gave up once. I know I'm going to be able to handle that power myself, and even if I don't like it, my expectations increase.

"But... when you think about it again, your son-in-law is rare. In addition to being the wizard of Heaven, I have been using exogenous vegetables. Besides, according to Calcedonia, he seems to be even more sensible."

Are all human beings in the world of Tatsumi so, or is Tatsumi the only one peculiar? Giuseppe doesn't even know that.

If you try to make sure of it, you will need to summon many other humans besides Tatsumi. But that's practically impossible.

Giuseppe stares at Tatsumi. The look on Giuseppe's face, which had been much more serene until then, turned into something surprisingly harsh. Tatsumi and Calcedonia also tightened their expressions as if they were caught by it.

Giuseppe cut out a proposal to Tatsumi, seeping through a clear force reminiscent of the blade.

"I don't know, my son-in-law. Lord... aren't you going to be the same devilish master as Calse?
