I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

258 – Part 2 completed, inside the 3rd warehouse.

As soon as our saint’s order is given, the surplus replica holy swords from various places are being moved to the church headquarters.

Since I am also a mid-level priest at the church headquarters, I have been assigned to transport swords and am now in the warehouse of the church headquarters for the first time in a long time.

The warehouse at the church headquarters contains all kinds of items.

There are weapons used by the Holy Knights, as well as various items stored by the Order from the past.

From what I remember, I heard that the cane that the Pope used 1,500 years ago was also kept there.

I wonder why something like that is kept there.

It turns out that once you get in here, it’s very difficult to get it out.

It’s not physically difficult, but procedurally.

That’s right.

This is where such items are stored.

Would it be possible to randomly insert and remove items?

For the sake of safety, it is normal to put in place extensive security procedures.

“Whoa… It’s really heavy.”

“Elvin, why is this sword so heavy?”

“It’s bound to be heavy. Mithril and Styx use steel that matches the proportions.”

“What is the ratio?”

“If you use 1g of Styx and Mithril, the steel will be about 1kg?”

“Wow… just by simple calculation, you’re saying we need 500 times as much?”

“That’s right.”

It is not easy to melt Mithril and Styx into steel.

The two metals, which have strong magical properties, have high resistance and do not mix well with steel.

So what should we do?

Of course, the only way to do this is to stretch the steel and force it to melt somehow.

“Is that why a sword like this was created?”

“What’s interesting is that as the proportion of mithril or styx increases, it becomes easier to stabilize even if less steel is added.”

“You’re so arbitrary, aren’t you? It’s a precious metal, so you’re picky.”

Dave laughed and struck the chestnut with the large sword.

What’s even funnier is that they thought they deserved it because Styx was gold and Mithril was silver.

“There! Move carefully!”

“I know it’s because if you drop it, I’ll make you pay for refining!”

As if I had seen that scene again, I heard a shout.

I don’t know if it’s the knights or the priests, but they’ve been shouting loudly here and there from high above.

The place we are now is a place called the 3rd warehouse at the church headquarters.

Perhaps because it was indoors, the voice sounded louder and I had to squint my eyes.

I understand that they are saying to be careful when moving these items since they are rare and expensive, but isn’t that too harsh?

Nothing like dropping a sword has happened yet.

I understand the point of being careful, but it seems like you’re trying too hard.

Well, I have no intention of saying it out loud.

Even though I’m like this, I’m the type of person who keeps quiet while working.

“You have a precious body. What can we do?”

“In some ways, you could say that they are more precious than us.”

“Are you saying that yourself? Then what am I?”

“Something hard to describe?”

“This is also a friend…”

“Because we are friends, we can have this conversation.”

Would Dave have had this conversation with me if we weren’t friends?

It doesn’t really matter to me, but Dave probably had a hard time.

While we were having that conversation, Cain was passing in front of us.

Cain, who was now over 180cm tall, was carrying that large sword by himself without any hesitation.

“Hey… Dave.”

“What’s wrong? Like someone who saw something they didn’t see.”

“Was Cain really that strong? He’s moving that thing by himself?”

“For Cain, isn’t that the weight you usually carry around when training?”

“What? Really?”

“I heard he came from the Holy Knights as a scout? But he said he didn’t want to go because he liked working as a priest.”

I never thought Cain would have such a brave heart…

I feel like tears of emotion will flow at any moment.

I need to take care of something later.

For Cain, you can change the appearance of the replica holy sword and allow him to wear it.

Haa… why am I loved so much?

It seems like he is loved not only by Stella but also by all the priests who serve him.

This is why I was able to endure it.

Or maybe he’s already fallen somewhere.

If you care about me this much, is it okay if I don’t know about it?

“Come on! It’s almost over, so let’s do our best!”

“There are less than 10 bags left!”

Huh… there are 10 more to go.

I think Dave and I have moved a total of about 10 bags so far.

The sword we are carrying now is a replica of the holy sword that was used to defeat the minions of Chaos not long ago.

This item was returned from an area where no servants of chaos have been found for nearly a month.

If you add them all together, wouldn’t it be about 150 bags?

This is evidence that they were printed indiscriminately because a large quantity was needed to be used here and there.

From now on, I need to think before taking action.

I never imagined that something I thought would be easy would come back to me like this.

*

After moving all the swords, a break was given.

After resting, I was told that I could leave work and go back to my original department, and I was given bread and milk.

Delicious castella bread and milk produced today in the vast pasturelands of the Church of Christ.

How would I have survived such a difficult task without this?

These snacks are distributed to priests and knights at the church headquarters every day.

Since I ate it every day, it is now an indispensable snack.

“Wow…! Why doesn’t it taste like this when I eat it at home!”

Dave took a sip of the milk and let out an exclamation.

He was a guy who usually gulped down his drink like that, but today it was so exciting that I thought he might have been a dwarf.

“Drinking at work is different from drinking at home.”

“Is there really that much of a difference anyway?”

“As far as I know, it’s because milk contains something called lactose.”

“Oh, Cain knows.”

If you add sugar to your hard-working body, it will become more active and your appetite will increase.

That’s why I eat a lot after working.

Or maybe it feels that way because of thirst.

The two may be creating a synergy that is close to explosive.

“That’s right, Cain. I heard you were offered a scout by the Holy Knights?”

“Yes, but I declined.”

“Ugh, you cute guy.”

Why is this young guy so good at social life?

I thought about pinching his cheek at least once, but it wasn’t easy to pinch Cain’s cheek, who had grown much older than me.

Let’s just say it in our hearts.

He’s really growing up…

Are all kids like this these days?

Or is Cain just so unique?

“But, Cain. Does your family usually grow up quickly?”

“Huh? Growth?”

“Yeah, no matter how you look at it, it’s not a normal growth rate, right?”

“Is that so? Wouldn’t he be a little faster than his peers?”

“hmm…”

Can you say that’s a bit fast?

Cain would be 16 now.

At the age of 16, he is over 180 cm tall and has massive muscles.

If that were possible, this world would be ruled by macho people.

“Isn’t the younger siblings growing at a normal growth rate to dismiss it as family history?”

At that time, Dave chimed in.

Come to think of it, Cain’s younger siblings are showing a very normal growth rate.

“Well, growing up is a good thing.”

Just don’t worry about it.

It’s a good thing that little Cain is growing up, right?

“But just in case, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to get a diagnosis or something like that.”

“A diagnosis?”

“I heard it once before, that if you have a lump on your brain, you will grow incredibly tall.”

“Uh… I think I’ve heard that before somewhere.”

A mixed martial arts athlete named Choi Xman of the Earth said that.

This person grew to 220cm tall, but it turned out that the pituitary tumor continued to secrete growth hormones and continued to grow.

I remember that growth stopped after the surgery.

“Would you like to try some elixir just in case?”

“Eh…elixir. It’s so precious…”

“You never know. Let’s go home and have a drink.”

You never know.

How do we know if something abnormal is happening in Cain’s body and his height and muscles are growing at random?

We can’t leave our precious guardian priests unattended!

***

Fortunately, nothing serious happened to Cain.

Even after drinking the elixir, I did not shrink or lose strength or any other unfortunate events.

In other words, there is nothing wrong with Cain’s body, he is just doing his best to grow.

It’s just amazing that such growth can continue.

“Children grow up quickly, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Our Luna too?”

“Of course our Luna will grow up, right?”

Stella is sitting on my lap and stroking the head of Luna, who is shaking her head wildly.

Luna looked at her mother and tilted her head.

“Dad, what is growth spurt?”

“When you ask your father, you have to look at him before speaking, right Luna?”

“Yes~”

Only then did my daughter look back at me, her eyes sparkling.

“Dad! What does growing up mean?”

“It means that our Luna will grow up like her mother someday.”

“Are you Luna? Really?”

“So. Even after 10 years, you will have grown up like your mother?”

Luna 10 years from now…

It will probably grow very pretty.

But strangely enough, I hope that day comes a little more slowly.

You never know when she might bring a man and say he will marry her.
