My Pet Is a Holy Maiden 63 Giuseppes Skill

Were the schedules of my shifts during the afternoon of the first day and the morning of the third day?

Then, since Tatsumi and I are in the same group, my shifts as are also on the afternoon for the first day and morning on the third. Then, it seems we can watch the horse jousting competition at the last day afternoon. Okay, lets go and watch it with Nanau.

We brothers are working at that time Damn, I was looking forward for it; the horse jousting competition

There is no choice, Big Brother Neez. This is also work.

In the Savaivs Churchs courtyard, Tatsumi was lively taking with Neez and Verse while confirming the work schedule for the upcoming New Year Festival.

Im sure that I would be working on the morning of the second day Oh, and, grandfather asked me to help with his blessing ceremony on the afternoon of the third day.

Ah, thats what I was I was asked too.

While blushing a bit, Tatsumi diverted his eyes away from Calcedonia who was sitting next to him.

Despite Tatsumis attitude towards her, Calcedonia had thought out their schedule for the festival.

So, I can enjoy the festival with Husband on afternoon of the second day!

Yes, thats right.

Speaking of the second day afternoon, isnt there a treasure hunt event hosted by the Glavavy Church? What if you join it with Calsey? If its Tatsumi, even if you dont spend time moving, you would be able to find a lot of treasures, wouldnt you?

What about you? I think its not that easy, but How is your schedule?

Mine? My schedule on the first day Other than waiting in the corner while His Majesty is giving his greetings, I have no other plans? Regardless of who my father is, I am still treated like a child.

Somehow, Jolt frequently came and go to the Savaiv Church.

At first, Verse was quite suspicious of who he was and predicted he might be an aristocrat; probably from a high-ranking family. But he seemed friendly to Tatsumi, and he identify him as such afterwards.

As expected, Tatsumi didnt reveal Jolts status either. If Verse knew of his identity, even if hes Tatsumis acquaintance, he wont make close contact with him.

By the way, Jolts previous statement waiting in the corner while His Majesty giving his greetings didnt make Verse feel any sense of discomfort. When the king gives the New Year greeting, it is customary for aristocrats to stand beside him.

However, to Jolt and Tatsumis intimacy, the one who was the most surprised is none other than Calcedonia.

Jolts sudden appearance at Savaiv Church. When she saw him walked in the church leisurely, She doubt her eyes.

Furthermore -Hello, Calsey, long time no see. By the way, wheres Tatsumi? Are you not together?- For him to be friendly with Tatsumi, her surprise became even bigger.

Later on she heard about Jolts encounter with Tatsumi,

Personally, I want to see the horse jousting competition.

If so, wont the qualifiers be held on the afternoon of the second day? On the third day the main event is on late afternoon, so there is a qualifier before that.

I see. Well then, maybe I should go see it? Will Calsey go with me?

Yes, of course I will go!

Being glad to be sight-seeing with Tatsumi, Calcedonia responded with a big smile.

This was usual for Verse and Neez, but not quite so for Jolt. This was the first time he saw Calcedonia with a big smile so far.

Wow, Ive been hearing stories, but when I see it, Calsey will give such an expression towards Tatsumi. Really, I was surprised.

No, Jolt. As we told you, Calcedonia is always like that when it comes to Tatsumi.

Yeah, I heard it from both Verse and Neez, but I wasnt convinced until I see it for myself. Its as if you know the former Calsey.

We only know about the former Calcedonia from the rumors. It was just before her engagement with Tatsumi that I got to know her, and at that time she already behaved like this.

But the current Calsey is better than the previous one, right? Then again, Tatsumi can do amazing things himself.

Uh, um, Jolt? Um, the thing that I told to you about before

After all, it is embarrassing to say that it is a thing of the past. Calcedonias looked at Tatsumi who was beside her as his cheeks reddens.

Tatsumi nodded to Calcedonia with an its fine gesture.

A smile returned at Calcedonias face. Then, by casually shifting her bottom to shift her sitting position, she bring her body closer to Tatsumi.

Ah, yes, Calsey. Can you please not call me with Lord? Since Tatsumi and Verse have already stopped using it, so you can also stop using it. Will you?

Well, er, but

If you think it is hard to stop, how about call me Jolty like you used to? Remember that you used to call me that when we were introduced by our grandparents and got to know each other?

Well, that was when we were still young um, well are you okay with that?

Yes, its fine, its fine.

Jolt smiled happily.

Um, excuse me! If, if possible, I would like Calcedonia to call me Schero! Better yet, I would like you to look at me with your cold eyes and step on me with high-heeled shoes!

Until then, Schero who looked at Calcedonia and Jolts interactions with envious eyes, opened his mouth.

Of course, it was ignored.

Tatsumis leisurely break time was abruptly stopped when one of the priests showed up at the courtyard.

From the priests clothes and holy symbol, he knew that he was a high priest.

Senior Priest Yamagata.

The high priest who appeared called to Tatsumi with a gentle smile with a calm, low voice.

Yes.

Tatsumi whose name was called quickly stand up. No, not only Tatsumi but both Calcedonia and Verse also stood up.

Only Jolt, who wasnt a priest, was sitting on a chair with a cool expression.

Patriarch Chrysoprase requested your presence. Please head to his office immediately.

I understand.

Tatsumi answered immediately with a calm but strong voice.

After giving Giuseppes message, the high priest left the courtyard with his back facing Tatsumi, smiling.

Well, then. Break times over. Lets get back to work.

Verse said while stretching out.

Both Calcedonia and the Neez brothers went back to their respective work after break time.

Well, everyone. Do your best at work.

Alone, Jolt casually encouraged Tatsumi.

What are you going to do now Jolt?

Me? I dont want to interfere with Tatsumis work, so I think I will head straight back home.

Jolt glanced quickly to the direction of his house the royal palace.

But, why kind of request that Grandfather called for Husband?

Well, uh, um, well, I guess you can understand?

Tatsumi responded to Calcedonia who was tilting her head with vague words.

Well, I will head to Giuseppes office now.

Yes. Well, see you at the house later.

Calcedonia waved merrily at Tatsumi who was heading to Giuseppes office. Verse and Neez went back to their respective post and Jolt also left the temple.

How about it, son-in-law? Have you get used to being Calseys man?

When Tatsumi entered Giuseppess office, the Savaiv sects Patriarch asked him with a merry face.

Yes. Its okay I think. I havent said anything at home.

Is that so, good. I will be secretly counting on you for a little bit more.

Giuseppe smile mischievously while planning something. Tatsumi can only laugh bitterly at his teachers mischief.

And, by the way are the preparations ready?

Well, that fox woman cooperates with us happily. It seems that things at their end are already finished, and we only need to wait for the actual event. How about your costume?

I was also taught by Giuseppe and finished preparing my costume at the store. Of course, I didnt say anything to Calsey.

Giuseppe nodded satisfyingly when Tatsumi answered.

At last, the festival is coming soon. Im looking forward to this years festival.

To be honest, I am not. I am so nervous Im about to stop breathing.

Ho ho ho. If this keeps up, it seems you will be dead on that day.

Giuseppe laughed happily. However, he unexpectedly changed his expression,

Im sorry, son-in-law. It may be annoying to go with my whim, but think of it as a long-awaited dying old-timers request.

Oh, a dying old-timers Isnt Giuseppe still fine?

Isnt that so? Ive already lived for quite some time. And the Gods calling slowly approaches us old people, and this is a good proof of happiness.

My grandparents die, my parents die, my children die, is it?

Hmm? What does that mean?

My hometown This is something I heard long ago in some local folks tale or somewhere in Japan Although the details are a bit vague, the main point is that the death of an elderly is inevitable and it is a proof that everyone has a complete life in a disease-free environment.

Hmm, I see that is quite a deep story. Let me hear more about the story when we have the opportunity someday.

Giuseppe who heard Tatsumis story nodded repeatedly with interest.

By the way I havent told Calsey about this, but how about my other acquaintances?

Hmm, recently son-in-law seems to have acquire some friends, so Id like to have their point of view. I dont want son-in-laws acquaintance to know, but can you find the ones who can keep a secret without giving it away?

Yes. I will keep it confidential to those who cant keep a secret.

If you hear from the exchange between the two person, it seems that he is quite skillful, but with Tatsumis somewhat embarrassed appearance that it is easy to presume that it is not just mere skill.

In this way, Giuseppes so-called Skillful Maneuvering was spread to Tatsumis acquaintances except for those who are loose-mouthed and quietly show excitement.

And so.

Finally, the day of the New Year Festival that was held to announce that a new year has arrived.
