My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

A white, pale glow disappears as it is sucked into the feet of the hardened lilinaria.

And as the white glow was inhaled, the hardened part of her leg decreased slightly.

Having confirmed that, Calcedonia chants the spell again.

"Light" "Holy" system, "Detoxification".

Literally, it is the magic that neutralizes the poison, and its magical effect neutralizes the poison that erodes the lirinaria one by one.

When Calcedonia used the magic of Detoxification a few more times, the hardened part of Lilinaria's foot was completely removed.

Beckley and Nemea who saw it, and Lilinaria herself, give a joyous look.

"Now it's okay. But don't push me, okay? Because if you suddenly move a leg that you have never moved before, your body will be more surprised. All right?

Lilinaria nodded joyfully as Calcedonia smiled full of charity as the Virgin did as those two names.

"Ah... thank you... hey sister..."

While blushing her cheeks, Lilinaria calls Calcedonia her sister a little shy of her upper eye.

Called "sister" by Lilinaria, Calcedonia only opens her eyes a little. But soon surprise took the place of joy, with a fluffy soft grin.

The moment the family recognises each other as a family.

But its soft atmosphere is suddenly disturbed.

without any foretaste, by the door of the entrance and exit of the house being pushed open.

"Wow. Get out of my way."

That's what I came into the house to say: Gardo with his surroundings.

"We're treating the sick now. Leave the unrelated."

Even if the risen Calcedonia says so with a harsh look, the Gardos are just grinning slightly and do not show a bare gesture to follow her words.

"Don't tell me you won't take me that, Calse. Aren't you with me? By the way, where did that black man go?

You noticed that Tatsumi wasn't there, and Gardo looked around the house for a moment.

"... it's none of your business"

"Really? You're the one who needs me."

Gardo inexorably approached Calcedonia slightly, stopping in front of her with a humble laugh.

"Hey, Calse. Come to my house at night. 'Cause I'm gonna adore you plenty, all right?

"... why should I go to your house?

Calcedonia looking up at Gardo and firmly answering. There was no colour of fright there, and Gardo, whose grandeur was unexpected, releases his tongue inside.

"... I told you. You can never turn against me."

Still managed to retain a slight grin, Gardo shifted that gaze from Calcedonia to her family.

When Tatsumi arrived at Calcedonia's house again, the house was surrounded by an indescribably sinister atmosphere.

"Something... happened?

"Sir... Actually..."

Calcedonia with a sad look somewhere. Before she said anything to Tatsumi, someone slapped her on the shoulder and stopped pushing her.

"... from there let's talk about it from me. To be honest, I'm nothing but ashamed to say this to you, my son."

It was Beckley who pulled Calcedonia's shoulder and lowered her. As Calcedonian's real father, he is also Tatsumi's stepfather.

"As you can see, my family is poor. There are many reasons why I'm poor... well, let's leave it at that because it doesn't matter now. My daughter like that...... Lilinaria got sick. It's also an illness of unclear cause... can you imagine much later?

"............... Debt, is it?

If Tatsumi answered, Beckley nodded slowly.

"Because this village itself is not so rich. There is only one place to go to sign up for debt…"

I mean at the village chief's, Beckley continued.

Medicine for Lilinaria's illness...... Beckley got as much medicine as possible in the Town of Toga as Priest Bagel told him it was going to work.

The drugs are all expensive, so Beckley said the total amount of silver coins he borrowed from the village chief ultimately exceeded eight hundred.

"More than poor people like us lend such a lot of money, I'm quite prepared to do that."

Beckley's gaze turned to his wife, Nemea.

"... Nephro, the village chief, was obsessed with Nemea for a long time."

Beckley didn't say anything more, but I could largely imagine Tatsumi as well.

And the fact that the Beckleys live in poverty may be one of the causes around there.

"... still... even if we were to impose something hard on Nemea... still wanted to help Lyna"

A little bit, maybe that's the manifestation of their considerable atonement for having had to kick out the other daughter.

"But Gardo, the village chief's son, came earlier and pressed for the debt to be repaid. Naturally, I don't have that kind of money in my house. So..."

Beckley put her breath down and continued her words.

"... what he asked for instead of silver coins... was Calcedonia..."

Slave Calcedonia instead of paying off your debts. That was what Gardo asked for when he visited this house earlier.

"Immediately, apologize to Lord Tianxiang and the Virgin! And never again will your son tell you to be rude to those two! Otherwise, the village of Laguine itself will not disappear after touching the wrath of the High Priest and lords of the land who are in the king's capital!?"

Priest Begil, who visited the village chief's house, so rolled up as soon as he saw the village chief - Nephro - who appeared in response.

Nephro, the village chief, looked with cold eyes at the old priest, who stuffed him with the momentum to spurn.

"The cleric that you called from the king's capital to treat Beckley's daughter... I know, but I'm not going to pay for those clerics' assignments, am I?

"You... now is not the time to talk about gold!! With you, my son, I have no idea what the situation is!!"

A thin arm with a large number of wrinkles is slapped against the table.

The secondment of clerics will require a great deal of donation. The amount is not such that the village chiefs and priests of the peripheral villages can pay it.

This time, Tatsumi and the others visited the land only after. Because their original purpose is to escort the Jolts who visit Toga for inspections.

For this reason, no donation is necessary for this dispatch of Tatsumi's men - paid by the royal family to be exact - but Nephro naturally does not know such circumstances.

"I'll write a letter of apology in my name to those clerics. So what do you say?

"... well, to the extent that I said it was better than nothing. More than that, it's not the future that's liver and kidney. As I said earlier, keep Gardo away from Heaven and Virgin again."

"What's wrong with me?

Suddenly a Bagel priest turned to his voice from behind, and there was Gardo with a thin, laugh.

"Hey, Dad. Beckley's debt, I've been urging you, haven't I?

"You think it's Beckley's debt? I don't care how much I urge you, but there's something about repayment. If I could, it would be enough for me or my wife, Nemea, to become a slave."

"No. It was my daughter who asked me to be a slave."

otherwise Gardo's grin becomes deeper and more favorable.

"My daughter...? What choice does it make to enslave a daughter who's been murdered by an unexplained disease?

"Such a pre-mature little girl, you don't have to be sick to wish. My older daughter told me to give it to you... it's Calse."

"Calse...?

Once the daughter of Beckley and Nemea, expelled from this village.

I've been acting strange since I was a young girl, and I still remember Nephro about my daughter, who I thought was "crazy".

"Oh, that Calse is back in this village. That's what makes a great woman."

"Gardeau!! I didn't understand that much!?"

Anger also cries out to dew by Priest Begil.

"Let it go, Jizzy. What I did was merely a debt reminder. Asking me to be a slave instead of a debt is nothing disrespectful or anything, right?

Priest Begil also stuffs the words in Gardo's words.

Certainly if the debt cannot be repaid and you become a slave.

When I lent him the money, Nefflow didn't expect the debt to be repaid from the start, either, and he was going to let Beckley's wife be offered as a slave.

Once upon a time, Nephro, a young man, was in love with Nemea.

He proposed to Nemea many times, but she never responded to it, and it was Beckley that Nemea married him.

The emotions of the past have become unsettling in the back of Nephro's mind, and he is still groaning.

Slave the woman you once fell in love with - the woman taken from you by another man. Nephro was feeling a dark welcome about it.

"Even my father would rather have a younger daughter than a middle-aged, used Baba if he were to enslave him, wouldn't he? Besides, Calse looked a lot like her mother, didn't she?

"Hmm? Were they that similar?

Nephro's eyebrows moved tingly, as it caught my interest.

"For one thing, will you enslave both mother and daughter, father?

Gardo with a humble grin. Nephro's grin in response was also no less evil than that of his son.

"... So, what did you say?

"... give me a few days,. That's all I said, Gardo asked me to go home once..."

Disappointed to drop shoulders, Beckley sighs heavily.

But his answer was only to postpone the problem.

It is inevitable that he will drop himself into slavery for repayment, beyond having the financial means to repay his debts.

"... I'm a naughty man who can only look sorry for his first son... but still, I'll never abandon him again! Now it's time... Now it's time for my own daughter to try to protect me! Neither Calse nor Leena will ever let a slave! Let me! analogy... even if me and nemea become slaves... ugh!!"

Beckley turned her gaze toward the ground, toward Tatsumi again.

In its eyes resides a firm belief. Along with his father's insistence that only his daughter be protected.

"Sure, I... we abandoned our own daughter once. I know I'm not the only father-in-law who could have said this... but for one thing, could you ask me?

"... what is it?

"My daughter... my daughters, please. Calse is already your wife, and Lyna is your sister-in-law. After we fall into slavery... please, both of us"

"From me, too, please"

Beckley and Nemea both bowed their heads deeply to Tatsumi.

The tragic readiness of the two has been well communicated to Tatsumi as well.

But Tatsumi just says it's nothing like being ready for the two of them, and he calls his wife's name on a really light note.

"Calse."

"What is it, sir?

"Will you come to Gardo's house... to the village chief's house?

"Yes, I understand."

And Calcedonia also accepted her husband's words without hesitation with a smile.
