My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Early morning.

By the time the sun starts coming out of the other side of the mountains.

In the corner of the village of Laguine, where it was time to wake up, there was a clear singing voice.

The lord of singing is a woman.

The woman lowers her hips to Marutai, who is stacked at the garden tip of the village chief's house as a firewood ingredient, closing her eyes and singing slightly shaking her beautiful platinum long hair.

The song is a tribute to God - a hymn.

Numerous words in honor of God, falling zero from the poor lips of cherry blossoms. The words were given a beautiful melody, which became a song and shook the air around them.

The people of the village of Laguine - especially those living near the village chief's house - listen to the beautiful singing they hear.

"Is this... the rumored Virgin?

"Oh, I used to live in this village, my daughter at Beckley's, right? They used to say crazy or something..."

Two farmers on their way to the field exchange words as they listen to the singing.

"Well, I hear you're not. Anything, the Virgin has excelled in magical power since she was a young girl, and she had some kind of foresight that was a dream."

Since childhood, the Virgin, who had a certain foresight through her dreams, had told the adults around her about it.

But her words, which were still young, did not pass well on to the adults and were mistaken for insanity.

That's the rumor that everyone has often heard all over the village of Laguine these days.

"And the foresight occasionally came into the ear of a very great priest in the King's capital, and he picked up Beckley's daughter and raised her by the time she was called the Virgin."

"Well, when you're a great priest, you know that just by listening."

"I'm sure you used magic or something?

"I see. If I were to be a great priest in the king's capital, I'd be able to use it magically. What kind of foresight is that?

"Young lady at the deputy...... no, are you the village chief of Nan La already? The mayor said that when this country was in distress, the Virgin had foreseen the emergence of a savior who would save this country since she was a child."

The inhabitants of the village of Laguine had also heard rumours that a terrible monster had recently struck the King's capital.

And the Savior appeared as the Virgin foresaw, and exorcised the monster brilliantly. That is what Diguan, who became the new village chief of this village, told the inhabitants of the village.

"So the Savior who defeated the monster seems to be the pavilion owner of the Virgin."

"Oh, that Jen who always wears black armor"

"That black armor is a testament to the exorcism of the monster."

Of course, these rumors were dared by Jolt to circulate.

Once, Calcedonia was considered insane in this village.

To dispel the past, Jolt purposefully spreads the rumor.

The spread of this rumor will also change the way villagers view Calcedonia. Of course, the way she sees her family.

The song of The Virgin, which sounds like a rave.

Another melody suddenly overlapped in its high and clear singing.

It is the voice of a man, who plays a lower melody than that of a woman.

If the female singing is analogous to the wind blowing through, is the male singing a great tree firmly rooted in the earth?

As the wind trembles the branches of the great tree to play the sound of leaf rubbing.

As Daiki gives herself to the gentle breeze that blows through.

The two singing songs flow through a corner of the village of Laguine, elevating each other.

Calcedonia opened her eyes, which were closed, to a singing voice that was not her own that she had suddenly heard.

In her open crimson eyes are, of course, the people she thinks are the most adorable in this world.

As he approached Calcedonia singing, Tatsumi sat down next to her.

Tatsumi is also a cleric and naturally remembers all the hymns.

Originally, Tatsumi doesn't hate songs. Sometimes he received more musical cues from his father, who was a musician aspiration, and about a runaway bard has the skill to sing.

Tatsumi and Calcedonia keep singing as they smile at each other.

The low singing of Tatsumi and the high singing of Calcedonia create a thickness in the melody, slowly flowing through the village of Laguine in the early morning, mingling hands and hands together.

Eventually the lyrics to the hymn come to an end.

The two exhaled their remaining breath in their lungs at the same time. And look at each other again and chuckle.

"When I woke up in the morning I couldn't see Calse... and I was wondering where she'd gone, I could hear her singing out the window"

"I woke up early... my husband was still off, so I woke him up alone"

Now, Tatsumi and the others are sleeping at the village chief's house.

The Calcedonian raw house is too small to afford for the two of us to stay.

At first, I was going to stay at the inn, but Digguan, who became the village chief, is making me stay at the village chief's house.

Of course, Jolt and Yerimao, who finished their inspection in the town of Toga, and Morgarnike are with them.

"Are you feeling all right? Calse's the star of the day, right?

"Yes! Good luck getting rid of stone rats!

Today, an operation is scheduled to take place to overwhelm the stone rat.

Stone rats with the habit of forming herds. Calcedonian range-shaped attack magic is essential to beat that swarm of stone rats at once.

For this reason, Tatsumi and Morgarnike turn to support, and Calcedonia magically wipes out the stone rat. That is the general content of today's operation.

"I slept well in the evening, so I am fit and magical. But....................."

Calcedonia smiled and looked at him as she dyed her cheeks just a little, snuggling at Tatsumi, who sat next to her, shifting her buttocks and buttocks.

"............... just for a little while, can I stay like this?

Calcedonia placed her head on Tatsumi's shoulder while entangling her own left arm on Tatsumi's right arm.

"... doing this... makes me feel more energetic..."

Calcedonia keeps her head on Tatsumi's shoulder and closes her eyes looking good.

Tatsumi caressed her head gently, smiling softly at her like that.

The stone rat, although it is the name "rat" that comes with it, its lifestyle is close to that of a kawauso.

It builds nests by the water and uses small fish and small aquatic animals as staple foods.

Sometimes I eat nuts and such away from the water, but not so far from the river.

Perhaps the stone rat who attacked Lilinaria is also an individual who went up to land to eat vegetables from her house's fields.

The stone rat is a small warcraft, so it's hard to realize its existence when you're focused on field work, etc.

Lilinaria, who didn't realize there was a stone rat nearby, would have surprised the stone rat unknowingly and received its poison needle into her body.

Although wells are all over the village of Laguine, the river is not flowing.

There is a large river a little further away, but still the only river that flows through the village is a small one near the Beckley family house outside the village.

Calcedonia and Morgarnike, knowing the ecology of the stone rats, decided that it was the surroundings of this creek that were the area of activity of the stone rats and at the same time that only Lilinaria was poisoned by the stone rats in the village.

In yesterday's expedition, Morgarnike was discovering a nest hole in a stone rat somewhat upstream from Beckley's house.

Though he could not discover this nest hole in Tatsumi, Morgarnike, with more experience as a warcraft hunter than Tatsumi, had brilliantly discovered this nest hole, which had been cleverly hidden.

"... is this the nest hole of a stone rat..."

"Oh. It'll be helpful in the future, so it's a good thing to remember"

Tatsumi nods honestly to the words of Morgarnike, a senior warcraft hunter.

After a neat time with Calcedonia, Tatsumi had been taken by Morgarnike to see the nest hole of a stone rat.

The aim, of course, is to feed the future, as Morgarnike put it.

Tatsumi also looked into the location of this nest hole yesterday, but in his eyes he could not discover this nest hole. But the shore of the creek, just as hidden in the shadow of the grass, did have its nest hole.

The stone rat is a small warcraft, so naturally its nest hole is also small. Sometimes its small size and the shadow of the grass, the inexperienced Tatsumi overlooked the nest hole.

"Can't this just plug the nest hole?

"Stone rats are good at digging holes. Even if we block this place, we'll just make an exit somewhere else."

The stone rat's nest hole is also as complex as Tatsumi's known nest of ants, making it difficult to exorcise the entire herd, even if it strikes attack magic from the entrance and exit, Morgarnike told me.

"Then, as initially planned, do we have to beat Calse's magic once and for all where he came out of the nest hole"

"Don't be. The stone rat will act most active from around evening until dawn the next day, so just before sundown it will be a battle."

Tatsumi and Morgarnike gently leave the nest hole of the stone rat.

"The plan is on schedule. We'll be ready by evening."

"Yes, I understand."

Tatsumi nodded forcefully at Morganik's words.

Land a little further from the nest hole of a stone rat. There, there were tons of little fish piled up.

There is a unique smell of raw odor emanating from dead small fish around.

These little fish are, of course, to lure out stone rats.

At the behest of the new mayor of Diguan, small fish were collected during the day with the help of the inhabitants of the village of Laguine, and kept close to the nest hole of the stone rat.

If the sun goes down and the stone rat is active, the warcraft, who are not so vigilant, will be invited by the smell to show their appearance.

By the time the sun eventually sets and the surroundings begin to stain from red to herd blue.

A small rat-like creature emerged from the nest hole, tingling his nose and smelling the smell around him.

As one of them begins to move from the hole to the small fish, one more faces out of the hole and finds out what's going on around him.

Then one, and another creature like a rat - a stone rat - emerges from the nest hole and gathers to the piled little fish.

It was Tatsumi and Calcedonia who monitored the situation a little away from the nest hole.

Calcedonia explores what's going on in the nest hole in the "Life Sensing" of the "Holy" lineage, which has been developed beforehand.

"─ ─ ─ Apparently, all the stone rats that were in the nest went outside. Twenty-eight in all."

"All right, then, let's get started."

Having heard the words of Calcedonia, Tatsumi moves herself and Calcedonia in "Moment Transfer".

What emerged after several transfers was the shadow of a tree about twenty metres away from the mountain of small fish with the sensation of Tatsumi.

There, Morgarnike, already ready, refrained.

Even looking at Tatsumi and Calcedonia, who suddenly appeared, Morgarnike did not look particularly surprised.

Everything is exactly as we were meeting beforehand.

Tatsumi and Morgarnike nod silently at each other. At the same time, Calcedonia entered the chant of the spell with a low voice.

And at the end of her chant, several strips of thunder fell around the pile of small fish.
