101 – Stella’s Day in the Neutral Zone
Clear weather with no clouds and hot sun.
If it weren’t for the desert, it would have been great weather to go outside.
The temperature outside is a whopping 50 degrees!
Still, there is no moisture, so the discomfort index is much lower than expected.
Seobang-nim checks the weather outside in the morning and doesn’t even think about leaving the room.
Drinking a cold drink under a cool air conditioner while stroking Perry’s hair…
Obviously we decided to go play yesterday!
I was really looking forward to it because you said something so cool that I was moved!
“Women can go out together.”
“Do you still want to go out with Mr. Seo?”
“Ah, if I went out anyway, would I just get in the way? I’ll go shopping with you when I go back to the Church Office later.”
“Really?! You’re not lying?!”
If the West would go shopping with you when you go back to the church
I rather like it!
As you said, it will be difficult to survive in this weather!
“Then can I take Etheria and Eri with me?”
“You two will be bored. You can take me with you.”
If the West doesn’t leave, the two of you will have to stay in the room together.
The exception is if I take you with me.
“Yuri. Shall we go for a walk with mom?”
“Quack.”
Yuri, who was playing with Yongyong, came up on my head in an instant and sat down.
But for some reason, Yongyong started staring at me.
Cute round eyes.
It looks like he wants to go out with Yuri.
“Seobang~ May I take Yongyong too?”
“Yongyong?”
Seobang-nim turned his head around and started looking at Yongyong.
Yongyong nodded his head up and down.
“If Yongyong wants to go, I’m fine, of course.”
“Yongyong-ah, do you want to go out with your mother?”
“Kyung!”
The dragon lovingly climbed onto his shoulder and rubbed his head against my cheek.
He’s a really cute kid with a lot of aegyo and a lot of childishness.
Then I’ll have to change my clothes so that I can go out after the priests and knights are ready.
*
“Yeah, everything is ready.”
“Then let’s go out soon.”
I wrote my name on the entry and exit addendum to get everything ready and go outside.
I think it’s a very good way to check the names of people who come and go in case of an unexpected accident.
I think it would be good to go to the Church Bureau headquarters and try it out.
It may be uncomfortable at first, but it may benefit everyone later.
“Will your wife be okay by herself?”
“Seobang likes to be alone. And Dave is with you too, right?”
“Yes, but…”
My priests, rather than those of Mr. West, started to worry.
There are three priests in total, and two of them must be worried about coming out with us.
“There are also maids inside.”
“I see. I think I was worried for nothing.”
“Worrying for nothing. Who would think that worrying about your husband was worrying for nothing?”
On the contrary, you should thank them for their interest.
It means that when the West is inconvenient, my attendant priests are willing to help.
After leaving the headquarters, the sun started beating down hotly.
In this weather, it is very good to wear thick long sleeves rather than light and short clothes to protect your skin.
Well, it’s because it’s usually under the effect of a cream and magic that blocks ultraviolet rays.
It won’t hurt your skin, but it could happen.
“But it’s strange that you can’t see inside from the outside and can’t hear from inside, even though it’s definitely in the middle of the city.”
“It’s because the great mages gathered in groups to enchant them.”
As the head of the organization called the National Alliance is selected by the Goddess, it has a building similar to the headquarters of the religious organization.
Of course, in terms of legitimacy, there will be a big difference, but
As an alliance linking nations, we are working hard to maintain world peace, so the virtue is also very great.
Anyway!
Now is not the time for this.
I want to go around the city and look at the goods brought in from abroad.
Because I like to look around rather than buy things, I often stop by East Town even when I’m in the Religion Bureau.
“Yeah, there’s a place that sells precious watches over there.”
“Is the watch valuable?”
“I heard that countries located in the northern part of the country make and use watches with a system called quartz.”
“Quartz…?”
It’s the first time I’ve heard it, but for some reason, it’s a word that exudes a luxurious feeling.
“It wouldn’t be bad to take this opportunity to make a present for your husband.”
“Seo… Will Seo-Bang like it?”
“I’ve confirmed that you’re collecting decent watches with your recent salary.”
Can’t be!
If you have a hobby, you obviously asked me to tell you first!
It seems that you are only making purchases with your salary without telling anyone.
By the way, I’ve never seen Mr. Seo have an unusually large amount of watches?!
“This is what I heard from the knights, but it is kept in the safe in the private room of my wife…”
“Is it that expensive?”
“No. I understand that these are inexpensive items that cost only a dime or two of silver. But it seems that you are delighted to have them hidden away.”
“Uh…”
I was taken aback for a moment and didn’t say anything, but it’s not a particularly strange hobby.
I also have a hobby that makes me happy while storing my favorite things in a safe.
From noble mtl dot com.
Perhaps you are moved by the fact that your hobbies are growing one by one.
In that case, you will have great regret for missing one day out of the 30 days you have in this city.
“Then I’ll buy a few more expensive watches and go home.”
“Yes, sir.”
Today, I think I will be able to see what Mr. Seo likes.
I’m looking forward to it!
***
“Whoa…Refreshing!”
“They say that the water from the oasis is no different from a hot spring.”
“Wasn’t the oasis groundwater?”
It is true that there is nothing different about hot springs because the underground water is heated by the heat and rises up.
And the water of the oasis is the life-giving water of the desert.
It must be better for the body since it is water heated from the water of life!
Of course I am well aware that it is a metaphor.
We washed our bodies clean with the water of life and returned to our room.
I sat for a long time enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner.
Then he picked up the paper bag containing the quartz watch he had just bought and placed it on the table.
Then, the wooden cases inside were lined up on the table one by one.
Seobang-nim, not knowing what it was, just tilted his head.
You don’t know how cute that figure is.
“What is that?”
“It’s something the West likes.”
“Me?”
You think about it, and you must have something on your mind, right?
He was startled and started to pretend.
It was as if a child had been caught playing pranks by her mother.
Your privacy should be respected, but hiding your hobbies from me is really bad!
“hehehe, I know everything.”
“hehehe…”
“So! I brought you something fun!”
The lids of the wooden cases were opened one by one to reveal the inside.
Most of them were made of silver and were shining brightly.
Some of them were made of meteorites, so I bought them.
From what I’ve heard, it seems to be a limited edition.
“How is it? Do you like it?”
“This… This can’t be…”
Seobang-nim picked up the silver watch and checked the back.
I didn’t know what he was checking, but for some reason he looked really happy.
“This…This is a movement…”
“Huh? How do you know?”
“The watch I’m wearing is a quartz movement watch.”
Seobang-nim showed me the watch he was wearing when he came from another world.
I heard that that watch is a watch that expresses minute by minute.
What kind of world was it that it was necessary to divide the time so finely?
I’m not sure because the clocks in our world move in increments of 1 each (15 minutes).
Seobang put a smile on his face as he checked this watch and that watch one by one.
It’s a really cute and lovely expression, but I have to listen to what I need to hear!
“How are you? Are you happy?”
“I’m happy…I’m happy, but these watches look so expensive…”
“Don’t worry, it’s not that expensive.”
I used about 1500 gold coins, but as long as the West is happy, money doesn’t matter.
I think it would be good to give presents often in the future.
