I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

59 – Neighbors

“Ugh…”

Wake up in the morning and feel tired.

I was naturally tired when I thought of the late night with Stella yesterday.

This is why no matter how young you are, you have to do it in moderation.

“Haaam…”

I yawned loud enough to tear my mouth apart and groped for the sides.

Since it’s a month-long break anyway, I thought Stella would be sleeping early in the morning.

But when I reached out to the side, I couldn’t catch anything.

Either hips or breasts.

Nothing.

“Sister…?”

When I opened my eyes wide to check, Stella was not sleeping next to me.

It seems to have already happened.

“It’s hard to tell where you are…”

Whether you’re washing up, preparing breakfast, or staying with the kids in the next room…

Since the house is so big, it’s hard to guess where it is.

It will be a little more comfortable if the maids and priests come soon.

“Uracha…”

I bounced off the bed, stood in place, and stretched out.

Today is the second day.

What should I do when I move?

Of course you have to turn the rice cake.

It is said that in Korea, it is now an era where you do not even know who lives next door.

In this world, it is taken for granted to pass rice cakes to the next door when you move in.

“By the way, it’s not rice cake, but wheat cake…”

In the first place, it is strange that there are rice cakes in such a modern country of Western powers.

Should I say it’s a jumbled feeling?

“Still, wheat cakes are also delicious.”

Especially, it is delicious to make tteokbokki with bar rice cake.

It’s not difficult to make gochujang, so let’s ask Stella to make it next time.

“Nuna~ Where are you?”

“It’s in the kitchen!”

This is definitely on the 4th floor, but I heard Stella’s voice coming from the kitchen on the 1st floor.

Could it be that these things are connected by magic?

No, Stella might have heard it because I shouted it out loud.

Let’s talk quietly.

“Nuna~ Where are you~”

“Huh? Didn’t you hear me? Mr. Seo, I’m in the kitchen!”

I spoke in a very low voice, but Stella seemed to understand.

And you can see that the sound coming from the other side is as loud as if it were right next to you.

As expected, it seems to be magic.

“Haa…When will I be able to learn magic?”

“Magic? Would you like to learn from me today?”

“Stella, are you going?”

“Even so, I am confident in magic. Except for elemental magic.”

“Tell me then.”

After asking her to teach her, she put on the underwear and clothes she had thrown away last night and went out.

I went into the bathroom yesterday and didn’t drain the water, so the sump filter must have cleaned it.

I’m going to go wash up just looking at Stella’s face.

“Oh, it’s been less than a day since I moved into the house, but I guess it’s a habit…”

This mansion has an elevator.

It looks like it’s called a ‘magic powered elevator’, but I’m not an engineer, so I don’t need to know about that.

First of all, shall we go see the children?

Originally, they were supposed to go to the shelter every day, but as we were on break, it was decided that the children would also take a break.

Anyway, the spirits of the shelter will not make much of a difference because if I’m not there, Yongyongyi will come up with something else.

“It’s Perry…Yongyong-ah…Yuri…”

Looking around the room, I saw children sleeping soundly on something like a crib.

Laying down separately, I feel like a real baby.

The reality is that they are over 3,000 years old.

Looking at the children, I slowly closed the door to my room and came out.

After pressing the elevator button and waiting for a while, the elevator door opened with a ding-tong sound.

“The inside of this place… Looks like an elevator to a high-end apartment…”

It’s five stories tall…

I don’t know if it’s an apartment with just over 80 floors, but I think this kind of interior is a bit excessive.

What was the previous owner doing?

In less than 20 seconds, we reached the first floor and the door opened.

Get off the elevator at the end of the quiet hallway and walk a little to find a right turn.

From there, if you walk a little and turn left, you will see the front door, then turn right again and go to the end and you will find the kitchen.

It’s really wide, so if you go wrong, you might get lost.

As you get closer to the kitchen, the savory smell grows stronger.

I thought Stella would bake the bread…

I felt a little sorry because I wondered if I was having a hard time waking up early because of that.

“Are you awake?”

Stella, just like yesterday, is wearing an apron and covering her cheeks and mouth with flour.

I’m sorry but it’s really cute.

This is not the time.

I took a handkerchief out of my pocket and headed for the drinking fountain.

I wet a handkerchief with water and stood in front of Stella.

“Seobang? Umm…”

“Why is your sister so unpretentious?”

“Seo…I never thought I would hear such a thing from Seo…”

That’s why Stella happily accepts my towel without avoiding it.

After this, he smiled brightly.

“I’ll wash first.”

“Go…Together…”

“We wash together in the evening. It’s too hard in the morning, isn’t it?”

Unlike usual, I stroked Stella’s cheek as if to tell her.

“Please finish your meal later and teach me magic.”

“Of course! I’ll tell you the way I learned!”

Stella became confident.

Seeing that, I smiled bitterly.

***

“Heh…It’s hard…”

Before practicing magic, they are training how to draw out magic.

It was really easy to learn how to feel the magic you did at first.

I just had to find the flow of my magic by catching the magic flowing through Stella’s hands.

Simply put, wouldn’t it be easier to spot if you threw a black ball into a pool full of white balls?

Because the color is polar opposite, even children will be able to find the black ball easily.

Like the metaphor, a method of channeling someone else’s magic to make it easier to catch one’s own.

This is said to be the way to draw out mana.

By the way, the problem now is after that.

It is to make a magic ball with the drawn magic power, but it is not successful.

It is said that creating a magic sphere is not difficult.

Children who grew up familiar with magical powers from birth

Even if you learned it when you were 5 years old, you could easily do it.

By the way, since I came from another world and didn’t have magical powers, it seems that learning is quite difficult.

“Seobang-nim, you haven’t made a magic orb yet~”

“This is how you practice, right…!?”

“Sure. That’s how they trained at the orphanage.”

If Stella is like that, it must be like that.

But maybe it’s not the right way for me?

Because the hero had to grow quickly, there might be some secret.

“Can’t nu…Nuna talk to the goddess?”

“Um… Do you have any secrets related to being a hero?”

“Yes! That!”

The goddess said that she might know… No, she must have known, and I made a big fuss and said it out loud.

Stella nodded, saying that there might be something like that.

“But will the goddess tell you that?”

“Oh, it’s okay. You said you were sorry for bringing me here before.”

“I see…….. Huh?”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, Stella’s expression hardened.

I tried shaking my hand close to her face, stretching Stella’s cheeks, or gently touching her breasts, but there was no response.

Ugh…

Is it that shocking to hear that the goddess came to visit me?

The saintess said that it was the only section through which she could communicate with the goddess…

Then it’s definitely embarrassing.

“Sister? Smart.”

“Seobang-sama! By any chance, when did the Goddess come and go!?”

“That…At our wedding.”

“Uh…How?”

Stella rushes terrifyingly.

Her face got closer and pushed me against the wall.

In an instant, I hit the wall with a thump.

Stella held me back with her arms and brought her face closer and closer.

Is this it?

The one from the love comedy called Wall Kung.

“Sir Bang!”

“Ah…Okay… One of our classmates is called Etheria, right?”

“Are you referring to a priest from a small country’s princess?”

“Yes…Is he possessed, or is it a return? I don’t know if that’s what happened, but he said he was celebrating right before entering the wedding hall…”

“And what?”

“Uh… Did you say congratulations on awakening your magical power and thank you for answering the call again, even though it’s no different than killing yourself in your previous life?

I heard the latter part clearly, but I can’t remember it well.

Some things were too sudden, and it was probably because it was the day of the wedding, so I didn’t want to focus on things like that.

Anyway, when she told Stella about what had happened, Stella let out a big sigh.

Her body trembled, wondering if she was being scolded.

“Phew… I’m not talking about Mr. Seo.”

“That…Isn’t it…?”

“But if that happened to you, please tell me..”

He smiled bitterly and began stroking my hair kindly.

I, who had completely hardened, just calmly accepted Stella’s touch.
