My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

With sand-packed cloth bags on her shoulders, Tatsumi bends her knees on the spot and stretches her knees again where she completely drops her hips.

How long has Tatsumi been doing the so-called squats?

At his feet a dripping sweat stains the sand on the ground dark gray. And around Tatsumi, who eats up his teeth and continues squatting, about ten boys his age sat down on the ground, snapping and exhaling rough breaths.

"Whoa, what's up? Are we done here? Well, then when are you gonna be a one-man cleric warrior? You don't get it!

And before such Tatsumi there was one man.

A large body, carefully packed with muscles, wrapped in sheet metal metal armor, with a sword at the waist. The fact that the breast of its armor is engraved with a holy mark representing the Savaive God shows that it is in the capacity of a cleric warrior.

Is he in his mid-forties? A man with a strong mustache and an atmosphere such as "instructor".

The "instructor" s eyes are still directed at Tatsumi, the only one who continues to bend and stretch his knees.

It's like a sharp gaze at the enemy, but Tatsumi can't afford to care about it right now.

Is the sandbag on the shoulder about eight kilometers each? I'm taking that on both shoulders, so I'm going to be squatting with about 16 kilograms of weight up at my convenience.

In fact, Tatsumi's health was limited. Still eating up my teeth is a move that makes me feel weak.

Exhausted, the boys sitting on the ground also stare silently at one remaining Tatsumi.

Then Tatsumi continued squatting for a while longer, but finally she also ran out of her last energy and collapsed to the ground.

The "instructor" who sees it grins at his beard.

"Okay, about a half an hour (about an hour) break! Keep your stomach shut! However, if you eat too much, you will suffer later. Keep it as long as you can!

Leaving only that to say, the cleric warrior in the role of instructor walked away from the cleric warriors' training ground behind the temple with his large crotch.

The ten or so boys left will also wake up cursorily and leave the workout behind. Like the instructor told me, I guess I'm going for a meal.

One Tatsumi is still lying on the ground in big letters. One of the risen boys called out as he approached Tatsumi and peered into him from above.

"Hey, Tatsumi. Is he alive?

"Oops, Bath... I don't know..."

As she fell asleep on the ground, Tatsumi lifted only her right hand and fluttered.

The boy who spoke - Bath - caused Tatsumi to hold his hand, which was being waved, as it were.

"Tatsumi's going to dinner, too, right?

"Oh, I'm going to"

"Well, let's get going, shall we? Your wife's waiting for you at the usual place?

"Yes, no, I'm not married to Chico yet..."

Bath, who caused Tatsumi, gave him a frightened look when he heard the words.

"What are you talking about? You even make lunch every day on top of living with me, don't you? Even if we're married, essentially Calcedonia is your wife."

To a slightly meaningful grin on Bath, Tatsumi lit up slightly blushing and walking out ignoring Bath.

What the two aim for is the corner of the temple garden. That's where Tatsumi and the others have been for a while.

The sound of the door knocking sounded and Giuseppe ordered the High Priest, who became his new aide, to take over and see who was here before issuing permission to enter.

"Excuse me."

It was that instructor who had been mowing the Tatsumi until earlier that he stepped into Giuseppe's office with a gratuity.

"Thank you, Warrior Augin. What do you say? Cleric Warrior Apprentices."

"Hey, it's still a good place for chicks,"

To Giuseppe's inquiry, the instructor known as Augin makes his tough face even tougher.

There are five platoons of cleric warriors between 15 and 20 or so in the Temple of Savaivo today, each led by a captain known as the Warrior Captain. And on top of those five warrior captains exists the general captain of a cleric warrior known as the general warrior captain.

Morgarnike, who left the temple and went down to the city well, was also one of these warrior chiefs. Since Morganik left the temple, a cleric warrior who had served as his aide has been acting as Warrior Chief, and will be officially promoted to Warrior Chief in the near future.

But although this Augin has the title of sixth warrior chief, he does not have a platoon to lead. He is a full-time apprentice trainer of cleric warriors.

"Especially that little guy named Tatsumi who's been forced to screw into his apprenticeship... oh, that's refreshing"

As Augin lowers her back to the chair recommended by Giuseppe, she casually says it with her arms together.

"I don't have health, I don't have the muscle strength to just support weapons and protective equipment, besides I don't even know how to hold a weapon properly. Even the foolish son of a nobleman today is somewhat better than that. He pushed me from under, so I'm taking care of him, but if not, I'm throwing him out in the first day, right?

His beard-covered mouth bent into the shape of a "to," Augin went on to say more.

"If you let him build strength with the other apprentices, it was always that kid who would fall first"

Giuseppe notices a subtle change in the sound of Augin's words, and then cleverly lifts only one eyebrow to show.

"Hmm." Was, "huh?

The opposing Auzine also breaks its rapport with the acuteness of Giuseppe.

"Yeah, that's right. It was. Most of these days it's that kid who stays till the end. It's been 30 days since I started training apprentices, but it's definitely that kid who stretched out the most. Honestly, I've been having so much fun with that kid lately."

Augin smiled uncontrollably, like a child who found a new toy.

"Come on, please, your husband. Don't hesitate to eat, Mr. Bath, will you?

"Hey, you're always done, Master Calcedonia. But you're a friend with a beautiful, spirited, and well-cooked wife to have!

Called "daughter-in-law" by Bath, Calcedonia smiles happily. And I offered the lunch I had prepared to Tatsumi in a worthy manner.

"No, it's true, isn't it? Tatsumi and I became friends, and this is how the Virgin's handmade lunch box is eaten. Thank you, Tatsumi, if not enough."

Though saying good things, Bath received the lunch offered by Calcedonia.

Thirty days have passed since the Tatsumis began martial arts training as apprenticeships for cleric warriors, but it has been so natural for the three of us to have lunch since sometime.

"But I'm not actually in the way, am I? Shouldn't Tatsumi and Master Calcedonia really be alone?

Speaking of that mean grin toward Tatsumi and Calcedonia, Calcedonia at the time smiled happily instead of showing the lights.

"It's okay, Mr. Bath. My husband and I are always alone at home!! Hey, my husband!?"

Calcedonia holds Tatsumi's arm into its busty chest and looks up Tatsumi's face with a full grin. In contrast, Tatsumi is silently cheeky for lunch with her face bright red and nothing to say.

For such an exchange between the two, Bath only gives a look like "don't try it" for a moment, but he immediately turned it off and started eating lunch himself.

"But neither I nor your husband knew Mr. Bath was looking to be a cleric warrior, did they?

"Hey, in my case, you heard Tatsumi gets martial arts workouts, right? Well, I thought I'd take a workout with you. At first I took part in the workout in a mild way, but you immediately regretted it. Instructor Augin's scratches aren't tight."

At the beginning of the training, there were more than 30 participants in the training as apprenticeships. Over the past 30 days, however, the number of participants has decreased one after the other, and is now down to about a third of 10.

"Ugh. When I ran out, too, I was coached by Master Augin. I also remember falling crying over and over again"

"Wow, there's no harm done to that old man or woman."

Tatsumi and Calcedonia laugh at Bath, who looks down.

"But, well, that's how I put it in Calcedonia's dishes every day. Thank you. Next time, I'll show you two to a restaurant where you can eat delicious meals."

To Bath, who said so, Tatsumi and Calcedonia looked at each other and then smiled and replied, "I'll look forward to it".

"Whatever, that kid comes out to workout with a peeled face the next day, even if he hasn't fallen down every day. That resilience is a terrific word."

"You're not Calse's guy about that. He magically healed my son-in-law."

"Oh, that kid had a calse on him. Then that recovery will be satisfactory."

"Well, in the case of my son-in-law, he seems to be doing a lot of good work besides martial arts training."

"With that being said, not only did he train martial arts, but he also received magic tricks from Kashita and Kalse."

At present, Tatsumi also trains in magic, parallel to martial arts training. Recently, we have finally been able to feel a few but exogenous elements, and we seem to have taken the first step towards a wizard - in the case of Tatsumi, a magician or a magician.

"Besides, that kid listens to this one honestly and executes it honestly. Oh, it's funny how a guy with no weird habits grows upright even when he's coaching."

Tatsumi, who has never had any martial arts experience before, is like blank paper, so to speak. For this reason, listen honestly to Augin's guidance and follow it without any doubt.

I guess an honest godchild like him is also a coaching opponent for the teaching side.

"So far, we're only letting the apprentices build basic health, but there are also people out there who tell us it's time to do some workouts dealing with weapons. I have experience and confidence halfway through only those people, so the opposite is troublesome. I'm reluctant to follow this right now, but it's obvious if you're unhappy. It must be time to come up with something disobedient."

He is the Augin who has coached many apprentices so far. I am also well aware of the timing of the dissatisfaction of the apprentices.

"Ho? So, is it time to teach the apprentices how to handle weapons?

"What are you talking about, underneath? It's still too early for them to deal with weapons."

And, Augin twisted its stern face.

While flowering into stories of no other love, Tatsumi, Calcedonia, and Bath were in after the meal.

At that time, Bath noticed Tatsumi wearing an unadorned martial arts bracelet on his wrist.

"Hey, Tatsumi. What the hell is that? Could it be a gift from Master Calcedonia?

"Ah? Oh, this. I borrowed this from Mr. Giuseppe, not Chico."

"Mr. Giuseppe... Damn, you call the High Priest like a neighbor's recluse... I think it's really amazing where you are..."

A berth that shrugs and flaunts your shoulders. Still, that gaze is poured on the bracelet Tatsumi is wearing and he doesn't try to leave.

Tatsumi has noticed that too, and explains it with her hands gently raised so that the bracelet can be seen well.

"This bracelet is a magic item that encapsulates magic… What, in this language, is it a demon seal?

If Tatsumi turned to Calcedonia in the sense of confirmation, she nodded to affirm Tatsumi's words.

"Hmm, encapsulating magic encapsulation. Hey... Does that mean you were a wizard after all?

"Apparently it was. That said, I seem a little special, so I didn't notice either Mr. Chico or Mr. Giuseppe at first."

The bracelet Tatsumi borrowed from Giuseppe has the effect he described.

Because magic seals are difficult to manufacture in this world, their price is uninterruptedly high. Is that why Giuseppe didn't give up this bracelet to Tatsumi either, she just lent it out.

As in one day's salary scale, now Tatsumi, whose control of magic is not complete, may unconsciously capture the magic around her and strengthen her body.

Relying on magic now at the stage of building the foundation is an obstacle to your workout. Having so decided, Giuseppe lent Tatsumi this bracelet, which he personally housed.

Incidentally, the collection of magic seals seems to be Giuseppe's personal hobby. But even the Supreme Priest doesn't possess so many expensive magic seals.

"Well. Time to go, Tatsumi. If I'm late, instructor Augin will beat me again."

"Right. I'll see you later, Chico."

"Yes. Welcome aboard, sir, Mr. Bath"

Calcedonia stood still on the spot and dropped him off until he could no longer see Tatsumi and Bath's back, who lay shoulder to shoulder behind the temple garden.
