My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Engagement ritual

In the words of Giuseppe, Tatsumi trembled.

Because that was something he himself had been thinking about since the time of Galgardon's mother and son's incident.

"Before, your Lord has asked me what I think about marriage. I want to respect the Lord's will. Calse, if the Lord tells you to wait, I'll wait as long as I can."

If Giuseppe turned her gaze to her granddaughter sitting next to Tatsumi, she laughed fluffily and softly.

I want you to wait until you can earn enough money to support your family.

Calcedonia is also aware that Tatsumi thinks so with regard to marriage.

Tatsumi says it's an unclogged will, but I'm happy with his feelings. Because that's all a sign that he takes his life seriously with himself.

So as my grandfather says, I'm going to wait forever until Tatsumi convinces himself.

"The Lord has also become a senior cleric. In addition to that, he is also an official cleric warrior. These two salaries alone will earn more than the average family in Ichii. Regardless, we know very well that the Lord is ultimately aiming for a devilish master. But can we at least just get it in the form of an engagement? Non thinks so... What does the Lord think?

Officially engaged to Calcedonia.

I had already lived with her for more than six months, but when she said that again, I still felt the light.

"Oh, uh... even if it's me, I don't mind officially engaging Chico... no, I also understand that you should do that. But... what exactly do you do?

In the original world, he is Tatsumi, who has never even dated a girl rather than an engagement.

Although there is a vague image of the word engagement, what exactly does it do? Naturally, knowledge is not like.

"Of course. It's common practice to raise rituals called engagement rituals in temples. Only the clergy of the person in charge of the ritual and the two persons who are parties will participate in the ritual. God - naturally, Savaivo, before God, declares engagement and receives God's blessing. Simply put, that's not the point. Oh, yeah, yeah. If the Lord will perform rituals, Noun will serve as the cleric of the witness."

Calcedonia opened her eyes and was surprised if Giuseppe explained the rough steps as she handled her long white beard.

"Are you sure? Isn't it usually just the engagement of royalty or the rituals of the superior among the nobles, such as the presence of your grandfather, the Supreme Priest"

"Sure, Calse is right, but don't let your son-in-law take care of Calse a lot. Calse's grandfather... No, as a breadwinner, at least that's what I want."

Tatsumi has forcefully summoned Calcedonia to this world, not to get acquainted or blame, but rather to accept positively and live with us amicably.

From Tatsumi, you would say that you are the one who takes care of Calcedonia a lot, but Giuseppe is also grateful to Tatsumi for her adoptive daughter.

By serving as a matrimonial ritual attendant for Tatsumi and Calcedonia, I would like to express that gratitude to him himself. That was Giuseppe's thought.

Of course, the presence of Giuseppe, the supreme priest, would also take into account that it would be a pressure on various parties.

"Okay. I shall now leave that ritual to Mr Giuseppe. So, when do you perform that ritual?

While exhaling relief at Tatsumi's acknowledgment, Giuseppe quickly calculates this and in her head.

"Hmm... there are so many conveniences to being a temple. Ten days from today, so what?

Tatsumi also snorted honestly at Giuseppe's suggestion.

And behind such a Tatsumi, Calcedonia had a happy grin.

"What? You want me to tell you about the store that deals in jewelry?

The day after Giuseppe cut out her engagement to Calcedonia.

Having finished his training as a cleric warrior, Tatsumi asked Bath that question, who was equally trained.

"Oh, I've never been to one of those shops in this city. If you know a store that deals in quality jewellery, you need to let me know."

"I don't mind, but why suddenly... oh, you know what?"

Somehow convinced of himself, Bath smiles with inclusiveness.

Seems to have been seen through his mind, Tatsumi makes his gaze swim with the smell of light.

"If that's the case, I think you'd rather ask the needs than me, huh? Their home is basically a store that sells weapons to warcraft hunters, but it seems to be an ancient store. You know more about the merchants in this city than I do, don't you?

"Oh well. Well, I'll ask the needs."

"Whoa, do that. So, good luck choosing a good product, huh?

"Ugh, shut up!!"

Bath stares at Tatsumi's back with a frightened look on his face, turning bright red and leaving early enough.

"Even though we've been living together for over six months, it's really always the first time. Well, I guess that sounds like the Tatsumis."

And the time of ten days passed quickly, and Tatsumi was very busy during those ten days.

I also bought ornaments to be used for the engagement ritual at a jewelry store where I was introduced to my needs.

Apparently it's not a ring in this country, but earrings and piercings and other ear decorations that make it a testament to engagement.

While also consulting with the jewellery store clerk I was introduced to, I managed to choose ear decorations that seemed to suit Calcedonia well.

At that time, because the budget was slightly overrun, there was also an act such as borrowing money from Giuseppe.

You couldn't have borrowed money from Calcedonia for the goods you gave her.

Tatsumi has once deposited with Calcedonia all the salaries she receives in the temple. And from that, once again, it is the so-called "penny system" whereby he receives as much money as he is free to spend.

Had her engagement to Calcedonia not been so sudden, Tatsumi would have budgeted a little more closely before shopping.

Others also met with Giuseppe's family.

Giuseppe's wife and their sons. Giuseppe has three real children, all of whom are married and even have children.

Naturally speaking, given Giuseppe's age, Calcedonia was a long time away from the righteous (ah) brothers (to).

Even for Tatsumi, face-to-face with the people who would be his brother-in-law was not much tension, but in advance Giuseppe and Calcedonia had heard about Tatsumi, and he was warmly welcomed by Giuseppe's family.

Still, my brother-in-law's gaze was harsh toward Tatsumi, who became the companion of my sister-in-law, who at her age was no exaggeration to say that she was righteous.

But I was able to break that right away, too. Giuseppe's second son in particular is the Chief Warrior who binds cleric warriors in the Temple of Savaivo.

For Tatsumi, he was also a direct supervisor, and his reputation seemed to have been heard.

By the way, Giuseppe's wife was the heavy town of the temple of the marine god Dalagabe, his eldest son the knight of the kingdom, and his three sons the cleric warrior of the solar god Golaiba and his family with a truly diverse background.

Tatsumi was kneeling in front of a giant stone statue of the Savaive God, dressed in his liturgical clergy and holy seal as a senior cleric and seated in the chapel of the Temple of Savave.

Next to Tatsumi, Calcedonia, also wearing a liturgical garment and holy seal as a priest, kneels, and in front of the statue of the Savaive God, there is the figure of Giuseppe wrapped in his dress as a brilliant supreme priest.

"─ Now here is a vow to the great Savaive God that the two young men will unite a new edge. This vow will never be broken, and it will be a strong chain linking the two forever."

A good Giuseppe voice echoes the wide chapel.

This chapel, which usually overflows with the believers, is now only for the three Tatsumi. It has been notified in advance that the ritual of engagement will be performed on this occasion today, so the faithful in general will wait outside the chapel until the ritual is over.

And some of them must be close to Tatsumi and Calcedonia.

"─ Then, by wearing the oath earrings, the engagement shall be concluded"

Giuseppe, with a solemn expression on his face, turned back to the Tatsumi with ear decorations offered and sanctified in front of the statue of God on top of a round basin.

Giuseppe tells me that Tatsumi and Calcedonia rise.

And before Tatsumi, Giuseppe humbly offered sanctified ear decorations.

The ear decorations chosen by Tatsumi belong to a design intricately intertwined with thin, plate-shaped silver. And in the center of it was embedded a small but transparent crimson gem.

This ear decoration is a delicacy by a Dwarf craftsman, a subordinate who is familiar with flames and specializes in fine workmanship.

Tatsumi took both of the ear ornaments and handed one to Calcedonia.

"Sorry, Cheeko"

"Huh?"

Calcedonia with a sudden apology and an unexpectedly pompous look.

"Well... if it's true, it should be even one step further than the engagement... my very best has put me out of engagement... I'm so sorry"

"Yes, no, no... my dear, my dear... my dear, I summon your master to this world for my own convenience only... - Huh!?"

Tatsumi's fingertips gently touch Calcedonia's lips as she tried to continue her words to block the way ahead.

"That's not true. I'm really glad you summoned me. To be honest, there's not a whole lot of untrained life in Japan."

Compared to modern Japan, it's hard to live in this world.

It's dark at night because there's no electricity, and when it comes to heating in cold winters, it's about a fireplace. Compared to Japan, where air conditioning can be activated to maintain constant temperatures at all times, the ease of spending is different from cloud mud.

Other than that, there will be as much inferior to Japan.

"Still...... there is a Chico in this world. I can live with Chico like this again, separated from death and thought I'd never see her again. That's all... No, I can't think of happiness better than that"

"Your husband..."

In the crimson eyes of Calcedonia, a beautiful and warm colorless transparent gem is created.

Smiling softly at Calcedonia like that, Tatsumi scratched up her hair to expose her left ear, where she mounted her vow ear ornament.

"Cheeko... come on, please"

"YES...... YES...... YES!!"

Calcedonia also attaches ear decorations to Tatsumi's right ear, wiping her overflowing tears with the back of her hand over and over again.

In the Kingdom of Largofiri, men are in the right ear and women in the left ear. Decorating ear decorations of the same design is considered proof of engagement. When this is marriage, the ears that decorate the ears of men and women are reversed.

"Here and now, the engagement of two young men is in place!

With the proclamation of Giuseppe, the temple bell begins with the tone of the blessing.

The majestic tone reaches every corner of the city of Levantis to celebrate the new relationship between the two young people.

Tatsumi and Calcedonia stare at each other at close range, holding each other's hands tightly.

Perhaps now, outside the chapel, friends and acquaintances will be waiting for the two to come out in order to congratulate them on their engagement.

Bath. Needs. The sago. Sheelo.

Senior cleric warriors and facial acquaintances who worked with them during the junior clergy.

Female clerics, beginning with Cooli, acquaintances of Calcedonia.

Maybe the people who live in the neighborhood of Tatsumi's house are also rushing to me.

"Come on, Cheeko. Let's report to everyone with our chests up. That we're officially engaged."

"Yes, Master!!"

The two keep their hands together and walk out towards the entrance to the chapel.

but.

Within a few steps, Tatsumi suddenly stopped walking.

"What is it, my lord?

"No, that's what I call 'your husband'... it's time to stop it?

"Huh?"

"Because... well... Cheeko is certainly my cheeko, but he was already a pet... because he's not a cheeko who was an octopus, he's a single human woman now... oh, I'm going to call him 'Calse' from now on too... so why don't Calse stop calling me 'your husband' too...?

Tatsumi told me, Calcedonia opened her eyes and dew her surprise. But it was only a few moments ago. Soon she smiled happily and blushed.

"So... from now on I would like to call you 'sir', not 'master'... would you mind?

Calcedonia as she blushes.

On the other hand, Tatsumi, who was told that, also dyed his face bright red.

"Uh, yeah, Cheeko... if that's what Calse wants to call it, be, it doesn't matter"

"Ha!! Thanks again from now on, sir!!"

Tatsumi and Calcedonia smile happily at close range while blushing at each other.

Giuseppe watched with satisfaction as the distance between the two lips gradually approached and eventually reached zero.

Then for a while.

Giuseppe called out to the two people who would never let go of their lips, as if they were frightened.

"How long are you going to do this? Come on, man."

While that was good with his mouth, a soft grin remained on the face of the Supreme Priest of the Savaive God.
