I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

103 – Mayor’s Office

“Did you get all these watches as gifts?”

“Yes…”

“There are too many?”

“I think so too.”

Dave already knew that I was interested in collecting watches, so he was surprised.

I was a little suspicious at first because he was the only one who would leak information, but the more I looked at it, the more weight was put on me that he wasn’t the culprit.

As I predicted, maybe the knights who followed Stella

I wonder if it was leaked from the report of the knights who secretly follow us.

There’s no way they voluntarily talk about my hobbies…

“Still, I’m envious because she doesn’t oppress her husband’s hobbies, and instead cares about them.”

“No matter what…Look at these watches.”

I handed Dave a watch.

It was a watch with a very powerful preservation spell.

No, I wouldn’t call it a watch, but rather a work of art.

It was a quartz watch made by carving a meteorite.

“Have you seen anything like this before?”

“No… I’ve seen meteorite-cutting guns in museums.”

Meteorites do not fall in the Church of God.

The protection magic cast by the first saintess outside the church is still in effect, and the protection magic has become like a guardian deity that protects the church from all harm.

To put it simply, it’s a falling meteorite and a nuclear bomb.

Everyone gets caught in a protective spell and disappears.

The existence of a meteorite is so precious that the Church Bureau cannot even see it.

In addition, meteorites are highly valued in foreign countries as a catalyst for research and magic.

It is so valuable that meteorite fragments and powder are included in items designated by the Pope.

“Isn’t that gun made from a meteorite also made by crushing fragments and powder?”

“Yeah, sure enough.”

“But this is a cut object? How big a meteorite was cut…”

A thing made by carving each part from a meteorite…

The person who made this, the person who sold it… And the person who bought it are all funny people.

“I just wear everything else.”

“Yeah…That’s what…”

This meteorite watch is an absolute seal.

I’ll keep it, and give it to my father-in-law and cardinals later when exporting meteorites is difficult.

Dave picked up a watch and carefully removed it from the box.

The guy didn’t pay attention to the watch, and he slowly began to look at the box it was kept in.

“The watch is great… And the case is no joke.”

“Well… It looked pretty.”

“It’s not a pretty level! This is a polar tree!”

Dave, who could be called a woodcraft otaku, exclaimed loudly.

It seems that the quality is quite rare.

For reference, the polar tree is a brightly shining tree, a valuable tree found in very deep forests.

I understand that 15 gold coins are traded per 1kg.

Speaking of singularity, should I say that the tree itself glows at night?

It’s not a cheap light like luminous light, but I know it emits a soft and beautiful color light.

“Eh… Alvin… That’s what you mean…”

“Well… At least one would be fine.”

“I…Really! Thank you!”

It’s been 9 months since I met Dave, but I’ve never seen him like that.

And this is the first time I’ve been sincerely grateful like that.

“Is it that good?”

“Of course… I’ll go to the village later and get an appraisal of who made it.”

“Hmm…That’s nice too, but can you help me organize the clock first?”

My eyes hurt because there are so many flashing clocks on the table.

You should store this carefully and take it home carefully.

***

And the next day.

I didn’t intend to come out, but Stella came back with a lot of watches, so I wanted to take a look outside.

Not only quartz watches, but also old-fashioned watches such as hand-wound watches are popular around here.

It was because I thought it would be fun to buy a suitable watch that matches my hobby while enjoying eye shopping.

“Thank you, Yongyong.”

“Kyung!”

I heard that Yongyong made a membrane that encloses Stella in a circle and created a cooling membrane that continuously blows out cold wind.

There are also very fine holes in the cooling membrane, so it is said that it is designed so that carbon dioxide can be discharged well…

If I had known such a thing existed, I wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble yesterday.

I should have gone out and had fun!!

“Are you the only one using that…?”

Since he is inside the cold and cool cooling screen, Dave is making an expression as if he is going to die at any moment.

By the way, Etheria and Eri have already made air-conditioning screens, so they are having a cool time.

Since this is not visible to other people, perhaps it is because he thinks that he is not the only one who is hot.

I think not being able to say hot is really cruel.

I smiled at Dave’s face, which looked like he was about to die.

Then he asked Yongyong to make a cooling screen for Dave as well.

“Whoa…That’s cool…”

“Actually, except you, we all had air conditioners on.”

Not only the maids who followed me, but also the knights who couldn’t hold back their laughter and burst into laughter little by little.

Everyone was walking coolly.

“Haaa…”

Dave, who was drooping as if he didn’t have the energy to get angry, stood up with his arms stretched as if he had taken a break inside the cooling screen.

Still, he smiled bitterly at me, probably because he gave me a case made of aurora wood yesterday.

Should I say the look in his eyes that realizes that nothing will change if he gets angry?

“Hey, Alvin.”

“Yes.”

“Look… Look at that.”

Suddenly looking at me and asking where to look…

I didn’t know how to look around, so when I looked at Dave, he turned my face and started pointing me in the direction.

I thought my neck was breaking for a moment.

“Look at that. That person is wiping hard.”

“That’s…”

No matter how ignorant I am, I know what that is.

This is a common item in neutral regions, and prohibited from possessing by anyone other than priests and knights in the Church.

It was an automatic pistol.

It looks very similar to the model called m1911, which is called Cabal here.

Anyone can own a gun because gun ownership is free in neutral areas.

So he said it was a common sight to see street vendors carrying pistols or rifles.

“It’s scary, it’s scary…”

“It’s scary… If we become intermediate priests, we’ll carry a pistol each.”

“But I hate…”

I just don’t like it physiologically.

This must be because I have the values of living in Korea.

I thought it was cool when I was younger, but now it’s just scary.

It is scary that a human who has lived for several decades can be eliminated from the world with a single bullet.

“Dave, let’s go.”

“He’s a bit younger than I thought.”

Dave treats me like a little brother despite being the same age.

Seeing that, Eri, who is older than her, smiled brightly.

Etheria was just expressionless.

“Mama, this is the drink you ordered.”

“Thank you Mr. Eri.”

We went into a restaurant that seemed unpopular to anyone and ate.

Since it was a desert, there was no seafood, but the meat dishes were really delicious, so I wondered why there were no customers.

It was a bit in the corner, but at this level, word of mouth will burn and you will soon become famous, right?

“It seems that the mayor’s office evaluates restaurants in this city.”

“Are you running a certification system?”

“Yes.”

Isn’t it normal then that word of mouth should get more famous?

When I tilted her head, Mr. Eri smiled bitterly and opened her mouth.

“It seems the owner of this place made a mistake.”

“Hmm…”

“The mistake seems to be quite serious, so it seems that the authentication has been canceled.”

So, it seems like it was like losing a Michelin star because of a big accident.

Still, isn’t it normal for a restaurant to have a lot of people?

“People say they don’t go to places marked by the Mayor’s Office because they don’t want to be harassed.”

“Does the president know all that?”

“You know… But you can’t interfere with what’s happening in the city…”

It is said that if he interferes, it may go beyond the act of overstepping his authority and interfere in internal affairs.

Because the confederation of nations only lends land to this large city.

“Well, I’m done with that guts.”

“Why?”

“Because my husband found an oasis that is much wider than the oasis in this city. The National Federation Building will also be moved to the newly created city.”

Mr. Eri nodded, saying that it is the law to have the headquarters of the National Alliance in the largest city.

Mr. Eri, where did you get that kind of knowledge from?

Our priests and maids are so competent that it’s a problem.

I look so incompetent.

Well… It’s true that I’m incompetent.
