My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Tatsumi's determination

"I disagree!!"

Hearing Giuseppe's cut out suggestions, Tatsumi and Calcedonia looked friendly and pompous for a while, but Calcedonia loudly disagreed as to whether she finally understood what Giuseppe had said.

"You can't let your husband do such a dangerous thing!! Why would your grandfather want to make your husband an exorcist, etc., so awesome!?"

Tatsumi once again exposes her pompous expression to Calcedonia, which is eaten by her grandfather with an amazing sword screen.

"Take it easy and think about it, Calse. No one else has the right qualities for a devilish master like my son-in-law? You're a wizard of Heaven, you're a vegetarian, and you're a sensor. My son-in-law is a natural enemy."

"Sure, I just admit your husband's qualities...... you're not thinking of using your grandfather, your husband as a good...?

Calcedonia approaches her grandfather with momentum that seems to release even the killing spirit. But Giuseppe is not old enough for Dada either. Even Calcedonia's releasing force had taken it cool.

"Not at all... Your Lord is not going to be radical when it comes to His Son-in-law. Non respects the will of his son-in-law only. If your son-in-law doesn't want you to be an exorcist, I'm not gonna force you to recommend me, am I?

Giuseppe turned to Tatsumi again, sighing like a shudder.

"So what do we do? All of a sudden, I don't want you to fight the Devil. You just need to carefully train the basics first, and then go through a little bit of actual combat. If it's combat technology, you can train with the cleric warriors, and if it's about magic, Noon or Kalse can teach you that. Why don't you hurry and slowly increase your strength as a demon master. Well, my son-in-law. Why don't you give it a try?

"Your husband... there's no need for your husband to be forced. If you don't want to, you can say no."

Giuseppe and Calcedonia come to ask for Tatsumi's decision. Tatsumi thinks slowly, comparing the two faces over and over again.

"... I don't need to give you an answer right now. Wow. Think slowly and then..."

"No, Mr. Giuseppe. I'll do it. No, let me do it. Make me the same magician as Chico."

Tatsumi bowed her head deeply toward Giuseppe as she sat upright on the bunk (bed).

"Your husband... why...?

Calcedonia turned her sad face to Tatsumi, who was prompted by Giuseppe to take another easy posture on the sleeping table.

Tatsumi smiles at Calcedonia and explains her feelings.

"Hey, Cheeko. I want to be strong."

"Strong......?

"Oh. I'm in pain. This world is more dangerous than the one I was in... Japan. In the meantime, I need to be stronger to protect my precious family."

"Your husband..."

Tatsumi told me clearly that it was an "important family", and Calcedonia moistened her red eyes as she dyed her cheeks.

"And I actually fought the Demon... and I also realized how horrible the Demon was"

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no such thing as an innocent white person in this world. Anyone has a little darkness in their heart.

That's Giuseppe, Calcedonia, and Tatsumi. Beyond being human, there is always darkness lurking somewhere in your heart.

The demon stimulates and enlarges the darkness. A kind family or neighbor suddenly turns into a monster one day. That is the horror of the Devil.

Two noble figures, Bardio and Morgarnike, are now corrupted by the Devil into demons. Anyone may hear the whispers of the Devil tomorrow.

"If I have the power to resist the Devil, I want to stretch it. Well, I don't even think I can handle all the people who are being offended by the Devil all over the world. But if there's anything I can do just as far as I can, I want to do it."

Tatsumi lay his waking torso on the bunk with Posan.

And when I put my neck only towards Calcedonia, I had a slightly pranky grin on it.

"... Oh, my God, it's actually in front of the building. The only thing I really want to protect... is one person."

"Huh...?

and the heart of Calcedonia pulses. Now Tatsumi is turning her sincere eyes straight to her. Who is the "one who wants to protect" he says. Its eyes were silently telling the story.

"I'm glad Chico's worried about me. At that time... when I went to the temple yard with Mr. Morger to help Chico, Chico told me he was on his feet, but that's when Chico dared to use tough words, didn't he? To get me out of that place... to keep me out of danger"

Now Tatsumi understands. That's why Calcedonia clearly said it was a foot job.

"Sure, I'm nothing but a foothold from Chico's point of view right now. But one day... one day, I'm sure, I'll be strong enough to fight alongside Cheeko... no, I want to be strong enough to fight the Devil while protecting Cheeko, like Mr. Morger did then."

Skilled collaboration between Morgarnike and Calcedonia, clearly burned in Tatsumi's memory.

I don't know when I will get to that area, but it was still Tatsumi's goal to get to that height.

"So... I'll be a devilish master. Become an exorcist... make Chico... no, make him absolutely be a man who can protect one woman named Calcedonia...!

Become an exorcist. Tatsumi clearly expressed her will to Calcedonia and Giuseppe.

That was the moment when the exorcist, who would later be called by the two names of "Tianxiang", looked to his path.

Turning the harsh look into the usual serenity, Giuseppe nodded satisfactorily.

"My son-in-law's determination, I did hear it. Then... you can't treat someone who has never had any success as a demon suddenly. First, we will train in this temple of all kinds, and then we will go through a real battle as a warcraft hunt for Shirai. Both Calse here and Morger called the Freedom Knight... no, the Demon Master is from what everyone will initially experience as a warcraft hunt in Shirai."

Surely Giuseppe would be right. First, you gain experience with warcraft opponents who are supposedly more sublime than the Demon, and then you become a demon master who deals with the Demon. That's the order everyone follows.

"There are many taverns and lodgings in this city of Levantis where warcraft hunters gather. If your son-in-law has gained some strength, you should visit him and ask him to do his job."

In towns and villages of some size that exist on the continent of Zoisalite, not just in the Kingdom of Largofiri, there is one liquor store and lodging where warcraft hunters gather. Such places gather requests for the exorcism of warcraft. No, maybe it's the request that brings the Warcraft hunters together.

According to Calcedonia and Giuseppe's stories, Morgarnike was at first merely a warcraft hunt for the city well. But he was expected to have his arm pulled out by a temple wizard?

"Ah... if you say so..."

"What's wrong?

Ask Tatsumi, who seems to have come up with something, as Calcedonia tilts her neck and asshole hair.

"I remember coming out to talk about it now. What happened to Mr. Morger and Mr. Baldio after that?

Morgarnike and Baldio possessed by the Demon and turned into demons. At this time, Tatsumi finally remembered them.

I wonder what happened to those two. Could he be guilty of any crime for being possessed by the Demon?

Tatsumi, who does not know the laws of this country, became worried about them.

If you look, the look on the faces of Calcedonia and Giuseppe is also cloudy.

"No way... did Mr. Morger and the others get convicted of a felony or something...?

"No, it's not. I don't think so... but I did get into a lot of trouble. I didn't come to this room just to see how my son-in-law was doing, but I wanted to talk to him when my son-in-law's consciousness returned."

"Talk to me... talk to me?

Dear left, there was no usual calm grin on Giuseppe's face that nodded.

According to the law of the Kingdom of Largofili, if you are possessed of [the devil] and sin, you will not be guilty unless it is something else.

Exactly. If you were to destroy one of the towns, you wouldn't be acquitted, but even in that case, it would be enough to put you in jail for about a decade.

The excuse that some sinner "did it because he was possessed by the Demon" also doesn't apply because he can tell immediately by looking into his eyes whether the Demon is possessed or not.

From what I've heard, it sounds like a pretty benevolent law, but there was actually a back to this that the average person didn't know.

Now, a few generations ago, the king of this country said it was a man of greed.

I felt sorry for not getting anything I wanted, such as rare treasures and beautiful women, and sometimes I was wielding kingship to get what I wanted.

But on the side of greed, he was afraid by the time he was morbid to be possessed by the Demon, and he said he was afraid every day that his deep greed might bring in the Demon and turn him into a demon one day.

Then it is as if we should suppress our desires, but the king did not.

Instead of suppressing his own desires, his king said, "Do not punish those who have been offended by [the devil]. Bad is the Demon, not the possessed person," he enacted the law that is now in place.

The point is, when I was possessed by the Demon, I built a breakwater in advance so that I wouldn't be judged legally.

But the others - especially the common people - found the law pathetic and widely accepted it. So much so that some of them completely forgot this king's previous act of greed and honored him as a benevolent famous man?

Whatever the reason the law was laid down, this widely accepted law continues to be applied in the Kingdom of Largofiri even after its king's fall.

"There are no mental abnormalities caused by both of us being possessed by the Demon, and the degree of minor bodily injury. I'm not going to be tried legally, so I'm going to live my life the way I've always lived..."

Giuseppe sighed without force.

"It is true that Morger and Bardio are not legally guilty. but the place where this incident happened was in the garden of this temple. The garden of the house of God, where the laws of the kingdom cannot be reached, and the priests in that garden, who have rambled Calse upon a young woman, cannot be just as sinless as those who serve God..."

"Huh...? So, Mr. Morger and Mr. Baldio...?

"Baldio has been very reflective about this one. In order to rebuild his sin and self, he returned his position as an aide to Non and a high priest, and will travel around the world as just a pilgrimage cleric in the future. Probably... I'm not coming back to this temple anymore."

Bardio says he will never return to this temple of Savaivo in Levantis, but intends to travel his whole life to finish it. Not so long ago, I regretted and reflected on what I had done this time.

"The man who was asked to look forward to the future, but his determination was hard and difficult to translate. So in the end, I decided to make him like me."

With that said, Giuseppe drops her shoulder. Calcedonia, standing next to it, seemed lonely somewhere.

He is a subordinate I relied on as an aide, and a man I admired like my brother. It also seemed that Calcedonia, the person who was actually attacked, had no resentment or anything against him, and it seemed to Tatsumi that there would be no reason for them to be discouraged.

"... well, as for Baldio, it came with a piece... the problem is with Morger."

Giuseppe, with a heavy sigh, looked back at Calcedonia standing behind her.

"Will you tell Morger that your son-in-law is awake and tell him to come here?

"Understood."

Courtesy of Tatsumi and Giuseppe, Calcedonia quietly followed the room.

"As for Morger, it's a lot more complicated than Baldio..."

Giuseppe's shoulder, who told him so, remained powerless to fall.

"My son-in-law is also in this temple of Morger... no, let's hear his fame in this country?

After Calcedonia was gone, Giuseppe asked Tatsumi.

The temple of Savaivo, no, the noble Knight of Liberty proud of the Kingdom of Largofiri. Its fame is widely conveyed, and the bards are competing with him for the work of The Virgin to make it a song.

"If it became clear that the Freedom Knight was possessed by the Demon... it would not be necessary for Morger's personal fame to fall to the ground."

If this incident spreads, it could even collapse into the authority of the Temple of Savaivo. Besides, if even the person called the Freedom Knight could not resist the temptation of the Demon, it would not have been known what upset would spread to Shirai.

"As a result... after consulting with the Kingdom side, this incident... in particular, the fact that Morger fell into the Devil was not made public"

Fortunately, or so to speak, at the first start of the incident, Morger arranged not to lean people against the garden.

This was the treatment of Bardio possessed by the Demon, but only Tatsumi and Calcedonia, the parties to the case, knew that Morgarnike had been fascinated by the Demon in the form in which it had done its job.

Aside from them, only the upper echelons of the Savaivo Church and the extreme parts of the Kingdom of Largofiri will find out about this incident. They seem to intend to decide that there was "no" case of Morgarnike this time, in order to protect the authority of the denomination and prevent public unrest.

As far as Baldio is concerned, he has been witnessed by several followers where he was fascinated by the Demon and attacked by Calcedonia, but he is neither as famous nor as well-known as the Knight of Liberty of what is a high priest. For this reason, it does not affect the Church or the people so much.

It has also been decided that you may embark on a pilgrimage journey to atone for your sins yourself and that no further pursuit of sins will be made.

For this reason, it seems that this case will be published ostensibly as "one cleric has fallen into [the devil] and his [demon] has been marked by the Knight of Liberty and the Virgin".

"There will be other aspects of being a party and not convinced by my son-in-law who has been so badly wounded that it is life-threatening...... but there is no other way to convince me there. Whatever you can do, let's do the best we can. I'm sorry, my son-in-law, but will that convince you of this?

and Giuseppe bowed her head deeply toward Tatsumi.
