104 – Mayor’s Office (2)
After finishing all meals and desserts, we went outside.
The knights, the maids, and the attendant priests started wandering around with opinions on where they wanted to go.
Dave went to see a wooden statue that he was very interested in recently, and Mr. Eri had fun looking after horses with Stella.
I stopped by an animal shop that sells combs and shampoos used for washing horses.
Aside from the wooden statues, I also have a lot of interest in animals, so I look around the store.
As expected, it was the largest city in the neutral region, so there were quite a few items that were intended to be used against spirits as well as animals.
In the case of Perry, Yongyongi, and Yuri, we can use all the magic called magic, so there are many things we don’t need.
If the sugar in Etheria is the same, it seems that there are many things to take care of.
That’s why Etheria is thinking harder than me.
“Hmm…”
“How about this?”
He looked at the item I gave him and shook his head.
From noble mtl dot com.
Perhaps it was following the owner, the sugar sitting on top of the head also stirred the whale.
“Can I hug Sugar’s head?”
“Yes, here.”
Even if Etheria doesn’t allow it, you can pet Sugar as many times as you like because of your constitution.
Still, I asked because it is polite not to pet an animal unless the owner permits it.
“Ki-ing…”
If anyone sees it, they’ll know it’s being sold.
Although they are calmly held, they start to whine as if they don’t like being held.
You are going to live in my house now.
And we’ll see each other for the rest of our lives.
“Etheria… I guess I don’t like it.”
“That couldn’t have been… Irion…”
When Mom stretched out her hand, she said she would jump out at once, and Sugar tried to run away.
Do you hate me that much?
My heart is about to hurt a little.
“…”
“Alvin… Are you okay?”
“…A bit sad.”
“That’s what spirits are, so I understand…”
Even at the spirit sanctuary, all the children followed me…
Isn’t it a bit strange that one of these puppy spirits doesn’t follow me?
On top of that, I also feel like I clearly dislike it.
“Since we bought everything, let’s go out soon?”
“Yeah…Okay…”
I trudged outside with footsteps.
Yongyong started to pat him on the cheek as if he felt sorry for me.
As expected, my daughters are kind.
In the case of Yuri, the contractor is Stella, and she treats me kindly…
How nice…
“What about Alvin?”
“I think it’s still inside.”
“Are you going on a date with Eri in an arrogant way?”
Recently, the atmosphere between the two is getting better.
It would be nice if Dave proposed and even got married.
Are you still feeling a little pressured by Dave?
No matter how engaged she is, she’ll be anxious if it’s not confirmed soon.
“Is Alvin nervous?”
“She was understandably anxious.”
“Are you nervous about the gate?”
“Uh…”
It’s a big deal.
Looks like I misunderstood.
You shouldn’t be anxious because you’ve received the letter of election.
In the first place, it was decided that I would marry Stella.
To be honest, it is true that I was very worried about what would happen if my marriage with Stella suddenly got cancelled..
Even so, Etheria doesn’t know what my first meeting with Stella was like, so I’ll have to pass it on somehow.
“It’s not like that, I was really afraid that the saintess would marry me with just such a choice.”
“Hmm…That’s right.”
Etheria nodded, but didn’t seem to understand.
In the first place, Etheria, who was born into a royal family, must have had a arranged marriage with someone.
Such an arranged marriage was natural, and there was no need to feel insecure.
“You’re not sure?”
“Yeah. I’m sorry.”
Etheria smiles bitterly after answering honestly.
I stroked her hair once.
“I have something to be sorry for.”
She might be difficult for Etheria, who is still only 15 years old.

“By the way… Why doesn’t it come out like this?”
“Father Mama.”
At the time when Dave and Eri started to get worried.
Someone called me, and when I turned around, there was a holy knight attached to the two of them.
So I looked around to see if it was a return report.
Dave and Mr. Eri were also nowhere to be seen.
“Where did you two go?”
“You are still inside.”
“Then why is the driver out there?”
“Looks like you two have a problem.”
Her mind almost went blank for a moment, but Yongyong’s cold scales brought her to her senses.
“Are they both hurt?”
“No, nothing like that.”
“Whoa…But I’m glad you weren’t hurt.
If he was injured, he might have run amok without coming to his senses.
It’s good if you’re not injured.
“What’s going on?”
“It seems that the store owner, who confirmed that he was a foreigner, tried to overcharge him.”
In a way, it is only natural to try to overcharge foreign tourists.
The worms who want to earn a living are trying to rob rich travelers.
Of course, Dave and Eri have the pocket money Stella gave them.
Our saintess is so kind that she takes good care of her subordinates and subordinates.
“You mean you tried to sell it at a higher price than the actual selling price?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Then just tell them to come out. I’ll protest against discrimination against foreigners later.”
“But… That’s going to be hard.”
What are you talking about? I looked at the driver with a frown.
It wasn’t that I was angry with the driver, it was a reaction that my brain didn’t understand.
“It looks like the store owner has reported damage to the two.”
“What…What…! What do you mean by reporting damages?!”
“They’re forcing me to sell things at a cheaper price… So I guess I should inform them after seeing the guards coming in through the back door earlier…”
Of course, the other knights are protecting the two, so protection against threats seems to be taking place.
I think they did a really good job of sending a few people to the two of them.
“Then let’s go in together. I have to protest.”
“Yes, Mrs. Ma.”
I took the maids and the company-sized knights and went back into the mart.
Do you dare to call a foreigner an outsider?

“Boo…Bu-kun mama…”
“Eri, are you okay?”
Dave and Eri were surrounded by guards clad in steel armor and carrying swords at their waists.
The knights said that if the two were threatened or attacked, they could draw their swords, but they didn’t pull out their swords, so they smoothly went in between the guards.
“What are you all affiliated with?”
“Why are you curious about our affiliation?”
“I won’t tell you twice. Where do you belong?”
He suddenly started threatening to call his affiliation.
Is this guy really insane to put his hand on his sword and say he won’t tell you twice?
“I am the company commander of the Order of the Holy Knights of the Order of the Hellenes. What about you?”
“This is the company commander of the Unio Guards. We came after receiving a report from the store owner.”
After confirming our identities, the company commander of the Unio Guards began reciting the outline of the incident one by one.
It is said that Dave and Eri authoritatively threatened the store owner and even assaulted them in order to buy goods cheaply.
I thought I came back inside to hear this bullsh*t.
Unless you have a mental illness like paranoia, you wouldn’t say that.
“Isn’t that unilaterally claiming it?”
“So you’re saying the store owner is lying?”
The guards who unilaterally conclude the store owner’s words as facts, and our knights who emphasize that it is just a one-sided argument.
I began to doubt whether it was a close relationship.
“These two are priests under the care of Mama, the consort of the Saint of the Hellenes Church.
Do you think it makes sense to say that he used violence?”
That word has two meanings.
The honor of the faith of the two priests, who can be said to be my limbs, and the honor of the big frame of being a priest of the religious sect.
It was an entrapment question.
No matter what this person says, nothing will go well.
On the contrary, the case will become even bigger.
“Hey, aren’t the priests spreading nonsensical ideas to enrich themselves? Come to think of it, you guys are also called the Holy Knights.
Then it won’t be any different.”
For a moment, I doubted my ears.
‘No matter how priestly he is, there can be such people.’ Or, ‘Anyone can use violence if they are angry, even if it’s a priest.’ Same
I thought it would be a very common sense and scratchy level answer.
By the way, this bastard is not only the priest, me and Stella
It was to blaspheme the goddess Hellenes itself, which can be said to be the root of the cult.
