chapter 44
44 – Sleeping Out (2)
After washing each other’s bodies and having a proper physical conversation, we went outside.
It was nice to have a bathtub inside, so if this happens again next time
I think I will come here without hesitation.
I don’t know how many times I’ll come back here.
“Seobang-nim, I’ll clean it up for you.”
I brought a really big towel and started wiping myself thoroughly.
As far as size goes, it was big enough to cover with a cape.
“Huh…It’s spring, but it’s still cold.”
“Still, the Church is warm. There are places where the sea is still frozen.”
“Wow… That must be a huge trade disruption there.”
Since trade is carried out by land and ship, it would be very difficult without a floating port.
And considering that it is spring, the monsters must have been activated…
That’s terrible.
While I was thinking about that, Stella thoroughly cleaned my body.
To the extent that you can feel the tenacity of not leaving any moisture behind.
“Now, get dressed.”
Stella handed me the gown.
The pure white gown had just been washed, and the smell of sunlight wafted through it.
Magical drying is good, but drying naturally in sunlight and wind is also good.
“Before that, I’ll clean Stella, too.”
I picked up an extra large towel lying on the bed with my hand.
Maybe it’s because it’s outside, but it’s somewhat dry, so I didn’t think I’d wipe it off much.
In the case of the hair and down hair, it was still wet, so I had to clean it thoroughly.
“A place like this should be thoroughly cleaned.”
“If you… Polish too long, something else will come out…”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Because there may be a situation where you have to go to wash again after washing
I decided to clean it moderately.
*
“Ah! I lost again!”
“Seobang-nim is not good at card games.”
I made a one card with a card borrowed from the desk on the 1st floor.
I don’t know if I’m bad or if Stella is good at it.
Last time, and this time, I keep losing, but I don’t think I’ve ever won.
“One more time!”
I can’t lose like this.
Don’t you have pride as a man?
As I begged for another fight, Stella began to think about what to do.
“I want to do more…”
Stella turned her head to the side.
After checking something, he came close to me, took my hand, and stroked the back of my hand.
For some reason, it feels like parents are comforting a small child.
“Wouldn’t it be hard to get up early if you don’t go to bed soon?”
I listened to Stella and looked at the clock hanging in the room.
It was already late when I came here, and it was already time to sleep while breathing for a long time.
While we were laughing and talking, quite a bit of time must have passed.
When I play with Stella, time really seems to pass in an instant.
“I can’t help it. Should I go back and deal with the cards instead?”
“I’ll do whatever I want.”
Stella, smiling brightly, rose from her chair and brushed his ass.
Did the chair have anything on it?
I don’t think there’s any dust or anything.
“Seobang, what are you doing?”
“No. Let’s go to bed now.”
Stella has already lifted the covers off the bed and tidied them up.
Looking this way, I saw the figure tilting its head, and walked to the bed with a smile.
“But what are you doing?”
Since before, I’ve been flipping the pillows and blankets and putting my hands in to do something.
So, I think she’s cool because she’s a very family woman.
“I was wondering if there might be bugs or something.”
“Ah, can there be bugs in such an expensive place?”
“Because bugs are everywhere…! Oh, there they are!”
Did he snatch something?
She took something out of the blanket at high speed.
It was a small insect caught in Stella’s hand.
She looked like a bed bug.
“It hurts a lot to be bitten by this guy.”
“I’ve been bitten once before.”
“Where?”
“I got it once at an orphanage in another world.”
It was an orphanage with a yard, and she was drying blankets and pillows.
It seems that the bed bugs in the grass have crawled in.
The first time I was bitten, how painful was it…
Even now, when I think of that pain, my hamstrings tingle.
“Ugh… Ever since I was bitten at an orphanage when I was little, it’s become a habit to look for bugs every time I lie down for the first time.”
Stella smiles bitterly with a sarcastic expression.
It seems we already have the same experience.
“By the way, there are bedbugs in winter…In spring too.”
“Yes, fire!”
Rest.
Stella used fire magic to burn and kill the bug she was holding in an instant.
Is our saintess not a holy attribute but a fire attribute mage?
“I caught the bug, so go in now.”
“Thank you.”
“hehehe…”
Because Stella knew that being bitten by bedbugs hurts, she was able to be considerate.
Because I didn’t want to go through that experience.
Though I’ve already been bitten by bedbugs and say I know how painful it can be, that’s it, and this is this.
Stella’s consideration is flawless and beautiful every time.
“Thanks to Stella, I have not been bitten by bed bugs.”
“Good job?”
“It was so good that it hurts to say two words.”
Praise constantly.
To her who caught her bugs for me.
She says she made her think of me in situations where her self could bite.
***
Me and Stella, who woke up early in the morning, joined Mr. Delic, who was already up and waiting for the carriage, and returned to the northern village.
Is it because I slept late?
My eyes keep closing, my body is awake but my mind seems to be sleeping. I keep feeling floating in the air.
“You seem to be sleeping a lot.”
“I had to sleep nine hours a day.”
“Can I not sleep like that now?”
“After becoming a priest…”
During priestly training, I went to bed at midnight and woke up around 5:00, repeating a hellish life.
To be honest, I don’t know how I got through that time.
“Anyway, Seo Bang-nim’s grades were really good?”
“Hmm…Certainly the grades were good.”
Because of the grades, the reputation was good…
Recently, things like my marriage to Stella have ruined my reputation, but up until then my reputation was very good.
The priests were so busy praising me.
“But it’s a bit unfair. I didn’t do anything wrong, but my reputation is getting weird…”
“Your reputation?”
“These days, there are rumors that he is an unscrupulous guy who hangs out with the saintess…”
Is it a sin to flirt with your wife?
Should I ban fan club activities?
“Stella, where did you send the furniture?”
“I sent it to my house.”
“You haven’t moved yet?”
“I’m going to finish the interior and move it.”
“Hmm… How do you plan on relocating?”
As far as I know, moving a building is a crane or something that moves a prefabricated building at the time of construction.
By the way, the house we went to see was just a house made of concrete and marble.
“Uhuhu… You don’t know anything!”
“Do you know Stella?”
“Of course!”
During the show of knowledge, Stella punched his chest with his fist.
Her fist hit her fluffy chest and bounced with a squeaking sound.
“Removing is to remove and move an entire house with magic!”
“All?”
“Yes! From the yard to the water tank!”
“With magic?”
“So it takes less than 30 minutes to relocate.”
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?
I understand moving houses…
So you mean moving the whole house?
It’s not dismantling or moving something… It’s floating in the air with something like magic…
“That’s right, floating in the air…”
Looks like what I think is right.
Should we call that a two-axis?
*
“Saint!”
When I arrived at the headquarters, I was walking around the inside with Stella for a while, when someone came running from behind.
Judging from her attire, she was a mid-level priest, so she slightly stepped aside and greeted her.
“Priest Elvin was also with you!”
“What’s going on? Delia is running…”
Mr. Delia…
Come to think of it, there were priests and priests who assisted Stella.
Among them, I think I heard from Stella that her leader is Mr. Delia.
By the way, you have a hard-to-see hair color.
It’s the first time I’ve seen purple hair.
“The Pope is looking for you now!”
“Father? West also?”
When the pope calls me and Stella at the same time, it is usually for a trivial matter.
The people who come to call us are on errands for the pope, so they are very fussy, but most of the content is to drink a cup of tea or
Mostly everyday conversations, such as asking if there are any difficulties.
“You’ve got a good idea for your wedding.”
“Haa… How many times have you called me for that…”
I’ve never been particularly strong, but you called yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Although she is an adopted daughter, she seems to want to have a proper wedding, perhaps because she is the only daughter.
“There are rumors that His Holiness the Pope has been very bored lately…”
“Isn’t the older brothers here?”
“Everyone is out of town.”
“Then it’s worth it.”
Stella has four half-brothers…
So, for me, there are four people who are equivalent to her older brother.
I haven’t met her yet, so I don’t know what to say, so let’s move on.
Now, the priority is to go to my father-in-law.
