My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

The Free Knight’s advice.

“…… I see. So that’s why Tatsumi and Calce were in this town.

After hearing the reason why they were here from Tatsumi, Morganeich nodded broadly as if he was satisfied.

Of course, Tatsumi explained to Morganeich after getting permission from his clients, Jolt and Yerimao, to tell him about their real identities and purposes.

Tatsumi also explained to Morganeich that, “In case you’re wondering, we can’t stand out. Would you please treat us like normal citizens, Free Knight?”

“Yes, sir. …… I will call you try to call you Jolt-san, just like Tatsumi.” (Morganeich)

“Yes, that’s fine, but …… don’t be too formal, okay?” (Tatsumi)

“I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that.” (Morganeich)

“Then please feel free to call me Yerimão. I’ll call you Morga-kun as well.” (Yerimão)

Morganeich grasped the right hand that Yerimão held out to him.

“What are your plans for the future, Morga?”

“I’ve been planning to hunt around here for a while, but I don’t see anything wrong with going a little further north.” (Morga)

Tatsumi’s expression brightened as soon as Morga said that.

‘So, will you be coming with us?” (Tatsumi)

“Yes. But the reward for me won’t be cheap, will it?” (Morga)

“You’ll have to negotiate directly with the client, Jolt or Yerimao-san.” (Tatsumi)

After saying this to each other with serious faces, they both laughed out loud.

“Fine, fine. As long as the famous Free Knight accompanies us, we’ll pay any amount of money. Am I right, Yerimão-sensei?” (Jolt)

“Yes, you are right, Jolt. Trustworthy and skilled guards are very valuable. The reward will be generous.” (Yerimao)

And so, the “free knight” Morga joined Tatsumi and his group.

As Yerimao said, everyone in Tatsumi’s group brightened at the thought of a reliable and skilled demon hunter joining them.

However.

“…… come out later again and take all…….” (Unknown Person)

After finishing their meal, the group, including Morga, decided to rest in preparation for tomorrow.

For some reason, Morga stopped Tatsumi as he left his seat and headed for the room he had taken upstairs.

“Tatsumi ……, would you mind keeping me company for a moment?” (Morga)

Morganeich, who had not yet risen from his seat, held up his empty mug to show him.

“Sure, but …… it’s just me?” (Tatsumi)

Tatsumi glanced at Calcedonia behind him.

“You’ll be back. I’d like to have a little chat with you, if possible.” (Morga)

I understand. I’m sorry, Calce, but you’ll have to go back to your room first.

“Yes, …….” (Calce)

When Tatsumi told her to do something, there was no way Calcedonia could resist it.

She turned again and again and seemed to be going up the stairs,……, but suddenly turned on her heel and came back to Tatsumi again.

“Master is not a very strong drinker, so please go easy on him, okay?　Besides, you have an early day tomorrow, so don’t stay up too late, okay? It will affect your itinerary tomorrow.” (Calce)

“I know, I know. I’ll be back in my room as soon as I’m done talking to Morga.” (Tatsumi)

Tatsumi smiled at Calcedonia and patted her on the head.

After watching Calcedonia go back to her room, Tatsumi sat down at the table again.

“Yes, she has been a great help to me in many ways.” (Tatsumi)

Tatsumi sat down at the table again. He ordered another bottle of sake from a passing waiter, and when it arrived, Morga took a sip and opened his mouth.

“I’m not sure if she’s really going to be able to handle this one.” (Morga)

“Are you talking about …… Calce?

Tatsumi’s question was met with a nod from Morga.

“I’ve also heard from her in the past about how she was treated in her home village. If she were to return there again, she might reopen the wounds from the past for some unexpected reason. Well, maybe it’s not something for me to worry about, but take it as advice from a friend.” (Morga)

Tatsumi could understand Morga’s concern.

It is hard for a person to deal with pain in the heart. If what happened in her home village in the past was traumatic for Calcedonia, how could Tatsumi, who had never studied psychology, know what kind of stimulus returning home would give to that trauma?

“I used to be a member of the Temple of the Survive, so I know the inner workings of the temple. I also understand that there was no other wizard to send this time.” (Morga)

Of course, there are other healing wizards besides Calcedonia in the Survive Temple.

But this time, because the cause of the disease was unknown, it was necessary to dispatch a wizard with as high a level of ability as possible.

It would be meaningless if they could not cure the disease because they were not good enough.

However, in the current Survive Temple, healing wizards who are equal to or better than Calcedonia are all of the high rank, with Giuseppe at the head of the list, and they all hold some kind of position.

So, if you’re looking for a wizard who can move easily and is also highly skilled, Calcedonia is the only one.

I’m not sure what to say, but I’m going to go with you. I’m not sure what to say. I will help you in any way I can.

“Thank you, Morga-san. I’ll keep an eye out for Calce as we approach the village.” (Tatsumi)

“That’s all I have to say. I’m sorry to have taken up so much of your time.” (Morga)

Tatsumi stood up, bowed to Morga again, and headed for his room.

As he watches him go, Morga gulps down the remainder of his drink.

Then he went to his room to rest for tomorrow.

When Tatsumi returned to his room, Calcedonia was waiting for him with a worried look on her face.

However, as soon as she saw Tatsumi enter the room, the gloom disappeared from her face.

“…… Have you finished your talk yet?” (Calce)

“Yeah, I’m done.” (Tatsumi)

“That was quicker than I expected.” (Calce)

Tatsumi lightly embraces Calcedonia, who walks up to him with a smile.

“What were you talking about?” (Calce)

“We were talking behind your back” (Tatsumi)

“Damn it! You’re so mean, Master!” (Calce)

Of course, Calcedonia didn’t believe that Tatsumi and the others were talking bad about her.

She doesn’t know what they were talking about, but she is sure that Tatsumi will tell her if it is relevant and necessary for her. Believing that, Calcedonia did not dare to ask what they were talking about.

Calcedonia purposely patted Tatsumi’s chest with an annoyed face, but she couldn’t help but feel his warmth and it made her cheeks flutter.

The warmth of Tatsumi’s arms around her back is comforting.

I love the kind look in his eyes as he looks down at me.

I am now being hugged by a man named “Tatsumi” who gives me happiness.

Thinking this from the bottom of her heart, Calcedonia closed her eyes and pressed her cheek against his chest.

Did he sense Calcedonia’s state of mind?

“………………n

The small voice that escaped from her pretty lips was either a sigh of happiness or a voice of sensuality.

She smiled contentedly at his gaze, which was as gentle as ever, and closed her eyes again.

Then, she turns her lips to Tatsumi and offers them to him.

This is not Tatsumi who does not know what his wife wants.

He slowly lowered his head to give his beloved wife what she wanted.

The candlelight was the only source of light in the dimly lit room, and their hot breaths gradually filled the air.

Their arms tightened around each other, and not only their breaths but also their feelings grew hotter and hotter.

As they stood there, hugging each other and devouring each other’s lips, they both fell onto their bunks.

The next morning, “………… I know you two are very close, but can’t you at least pull your weight a little bit while you’re traveling?”
