My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

"I need to ask you something... okay?

"What is it, Grandpa?"

That was at the training ground just after Tatsumi disappeared.

Giuseppe questioned the upbeat tatsumi as she gently held the shoulder of the nurturing woman (Muzume) caught in deep grief, waiting for the carriage to be ready.

"Lord... did you need to fight your son-in-law?

"What do you mean?

"Because of the circumstances in which Levantis is currently located, it is up to you to take the lead in the negotiations. If your lord had been strong, you wouldn't have had to fight your son-in-law..."

Tatsumi is holding Levantis hostage through the threat of a military dragon. If Tatsumi cares about it, it's not impossible to get the "hostage" card to pierce his demands.

"That's where you can grab Calse and jump into a different world than this one, for example?

"Ah? Aren't you an idiot? Why would I have to do something that makes Chico sad? There are people in this city who are important to Chico like you. And yet, if you leave this city, you can see Chico grieving, can't you?

"With all that said, didn't your lord do what Calse was most sad about?

"... he's the only exception. He was the only one who really wanted to get rid of this world... he was the only one who didn't want it to exist under the same sky as Cheeko... I'm the only one who has Yamagata Tatsumi in this world."

Hearing the words spinning out of Tatsumi's lips, Giuseppe's eyebrows shake with fright.

Seek Calcedonia until you "hold" the whole city hostage, and take care not to let Calcedonia grieve while forcibly eliminating the presence of Tatsumi from this world.

That chigusa bothered Giuseppe.

"... what the Lord wants... what the hell?

"I told you before, didn't I? What I want is to live with Chico as before. Being with Chico as a family."

"... I see..."

Convinced of something, Giuseppe's eyes emit a hard and sharp light. But Calcedonia and Tatsumi don't seem to realize that.

And the three of them stood quietly in the training ground as they were until the sound of the wheel of the carriage called Hanging approached them.

Tatsumi who seems unhappy because Giuseppe can interact with them and see them. And Giuseppe smiles satisfied when she sees a regrettable tatsumi.

The Taurods, who watched the two of them from a short distance away, looked at each other with a strange look on their face.

"That's surprising. He seems to keep his promise to his father, doesn't he?

"Oh. He's like putting a military dragon under control and making this whole Levantis a 'hostage'. I honestly didn't think I'd keep anything but a promise... but maybe my father had some such certainty"

Tawlord and Leiluk exchange words. If Tatsumi wasn't going to keep his word, he was also thinking of eliminating Tatsumi with strength.

Assuming that happens, no matter how many tawlords, they may not have been safe. Still, if you want to protect your righteous sister as a brother, you have no hesitation in putting your body up.

"My father had proof that he would keep his word? What do you mean, brother?

"I don't know what you know about me either. But it's about that father. You must have noticed something we wouldn't notice."

Giuseppe's response, in the form of a fried leg of the conditions put out by the tatsumi. It is certainly dangerous to serve such a thing on someone who is "holding" the entire city hostage.

As Taurod put it, Giuseppe probably had some certainty that Tatsumi would keep his word.

Leaving room for such an exchange between his brother and brother, Slate stared at Tatsumi.

"Whatever he's going to do to keep his promise to my father, it's honestly not that much of a problem if you try it on me. The important thing is to protect Calse, no matter what happens. Otherwise, when our righteous brother returns, he will have a face as his brother."

"Right."

"Oh, our brother-in-law will definitely be back."

The elder brother and the youngest brother snorted at the words of the determined second brother.

Giuseppe, having finished his interaction with Tatsumi, once again called Calcedonia aside.

"I'm sorry to be home early, but I'd like to ask the Lord for someone to come to my house from now on"

"Customer…?

"Dear Left, The Lord, who has already married my son-in-law, is not exactly from this house... but there is no problem in acting as a parent while you are home."

Seeing Giuseppe narrow her eyes with pleasure, a small alarm sounds in Calcedonia's mind. Because my grandfather must be up to something at a time like this.

What Giuseppe plays a prank of no other love for his body is that everyone in his family understands it through themselves.

"Guests are not going to stay in this mansion for a while. In the meantime, I'm gonna need a guest. Well, apparently the guest is here."

Calcedonia's ears also hear the wheels of the carriage. If she turned her attention to the sound, there was a carriage with the Holy Mark of the Temple of Savaivo on the side, about to dive into the gates of the Chrysoprese family and enter the premises of the Mansion.

The carriage slows down gradually and stops in front of Calcedonia and Giuseppe. And then that carriage door opens, and some humans descend from inside.

"Ha, Calse. The High Priest called me in."

"You can rest assured now that we're here. 'Cause even if you're a Tatsumi impostor, I won't let you touch one finger."

"Mr. Mille, they're not Tatsumi's impostors, they're the same, aren't they?

"Madam General, we don't understand one thing right now about that 'Dowitzsonzai' and what they look like..."

Understand who those who came out of the carriage are, and Calcedonia shines its face.

"Mr. Jaddock...... Mr. Mille...... General...... Morger......"

Calcedonia is called by name, and the four react to each of them.

Jaddock put a lot of effort into one of his four arms, Mille slapped his chest harder and harder, Elle had a gentle grin, and Morgarnike nodded forcefully.

As Jadock put it, it was Giuseppe who invited them here. Of course, its purpose, like the three brothers-in-law, is the protection of Calcedonia.

Sometimes Mille and Elle, especially of the same sex, can always act together with Calcedonia, and if you try Calcedonia, it can be described as a more comforting reinforcement.

"That's why I'm Calse. They are important guests of Nong. You don't want to deal with him like he's crude, do you?

"Yes, I understand, Grandfather"

Calcedonia appreciates Giuseppe's understanding of his sincerity and his concern.

"Shall I show the Guests to their rooms? I've contacted the house, so you're already ready for your room. Look, why don't you come over here and tell me your lord isn't infidel?"

If Giuseppe walks out, Tatsumi follows him with a disgruntled look on his face. And then Tau Road and Leiluk follow as they keep an eye on that tatsumi.

"Now, you all come this way."

Calcedonia leads the Morgarnikes, nominally guests of Giuseppe, to the mansion.

But he stopped his leg going to the mansion and turned again to his friends.

"This time... it bothered me... but I'm really glad you came... honestly... my husband suddenly disappeared... so thoughtful..."

Calcedonia leans down and tells her friends in a small voice. At its feet, a pompous little Shizuku falls.

As Elle advanced out of her friends towards Calcedonia like that, she gently held her body, trembling fine.

"It's okay, Mr. Calse. Mr. Tatsumi... your husband will surely return to you."

"... Huh?

With his face slightly wet in tears, Calcedonia sees Elle's face seriously.

"Tatsumi seems to have been forcibly deported to Japan... but there's no way you can stand still. I'm sure he's starting to act to get back here by now."

Elle's mouthfeel, like he believes in Tatsumi's return and doesn't doubt it. Calcedonia stared silently at such an el.

"Oh, my lady general... my husband... is my husband really... will he be back...?

"Of course you are!

Elle responded to Calcedonia with a trembling voice, closing one eye.

While Calcedonia and Elle were secretly discussing it, their former bosses and subordinates were also exchanging words again.

"Apparently, training is missing."

"Yes, even if it's a warcraft hunt in Ichii, I'll keep what you've been taught."

It's been a long time since my former boss and subordinates met. Slate and Morgernike met their fists from either side.

When Morganik was a cleric warrior in the Temple of Savaive, he was naturally acquainted with Slate, the chief warrior. On the contrary, Morgarnike at the time was blinded by Slate and even beaten straight into the way he fought.

So to Morgarnike, Slate is also a master as a cleric warrior.

"I'm counting on you this time, aren't I?

"I'll take care of it. Tatsumi and Kalse are dear friends to me, regardless of the request from Chrysoprese."

"Right. I've got a pretty good look on my face."

Slate's fist slapped more and more of Morgarnike's breastplate with an unpleasant refreshing grin.

"Huh. That's the other Tatsumi."

"You really look just like me. I was listening, but I was actually surprised to see it."

Watch Tatsumi walk silently behind Giuseppe and talk about what Jaddock and Mille think of each other.

"Ala, I wonder. Compared to the Tatsumi, there are a lot of differences, aren't there?

"Huh?"

"For example, you're less tall than the Tatsumi, aren't you?

"If you say so..."

Again, if you look at it, there does seem to be a difference in height between Tatsumi, whom the Mills know well as Jadok says, and the other Tatsumi in front of them.

When the Jadocs met, the tatsumi were a little higher than Calcedonia. However, Tatsumi has grown taller lately and is no less pale alongside Morgar Nike.

Specifically, the height of Tatsumi, which at the time of the summons was in front of 170 centimeters, is now about to reach 180 centimeters due to his youth of seventeen or eight years.

Compared to Tatsumi like that again, Tatsumi seems a lot smaller. Probably not so different from Calcedonia.

"At first I was distracted by all the things that looked just like Tatsumi and didn't even care about her height... if you ask me, maybe you're right"

"Besides, it does look just like the face itself, but if you look closely, the face is somewhat younger or softer than the Atsushi's Tatsumi... the vibe is a little different."

"As always, you've been watching every detail of Jaddock."

"Well, yes. 'Cause that's a good thing, isn't it, a good woman's prerequisite?

Jaddock showing a chisel and one of the four eyes closed. With his sharp vision, he observes the tatsumi walking forward carefully.

Is there any other difference with Tatsumi? Do you have a little habit of moving your body? Either a dominant arm or a dominant foot.

With his "eyes" as a warrior, Jaddock observes Tatsumi. That, of course, is the opponent's intelligence gathering to fight a little in his favor for when he can cross a blade with a tatsumi that will come one day.

In doing so, Jadok looks up to heaven. As always, from the gray sky covered by thick clouds, constant snow continues to fall.

"... come home soon, Tatsumi. Until Tatsumi gets back, we'll keep Calse safe with the Atsushi."

Jaddock also believes. No, it's not just Jaddock, it's not Mille, it's Elle, it's Morgernike.

There is no one who does not believe in the return of Tatsumi.

The snow continued to fall without sound, as it engulfed them who cemented their determination.
