I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

242 – Part 2 Episode 70, The Hero’s Suffering.

Dave and Eri’s daughter’s name has been decided.

I was quite curious about what name they had in mind, but it was an acceptable, not bad, and pretty name than I expected.

“But the name has nothing to do with your name, Dave.”

“Isn’t that the same for you too, Elvin?”

“Hmm…”

Strangely, in our family, the women have a monopoly on the children’s names.

In the case of Stella and I, we decided that if it was a boy, I would build it, and if it was a daughter, Stella would build it, so I don’t have any major complaints.

Still, wouldn’t Dave be a little dissatisfied?

That’s what I thought, but this guy doesn’t seem to have any major complaints either.

“I’m just satisfied that Eri and my daughter are alive.”

“If you say that, I have nothing to say.”

In fact, you can’t be more greedy than that.

Isn’t a desire that is greater than the life of my daughter and wife not much different from the desire that tried to engulf the world into chaos?

You shouldn’t be greedy.

Dave wanting more than that is, in a way, greedy.

Okay, let’s stop talking about this now.

Let’s talk about the child born to Eri and Dave.

The baby’s name is Ern.

If another notation is used, the name becomes Eren.

It seems that they decided to give the name Ern if it was a daughter and Eren if it was a son.

It’s not a bad name since it has the same meaning but can be considered both a girl’s name and a boy’s name.

“But why are you smiling like that from earlier?”

“Whoa… when did I laugh?”

“You’re smiling.”

Dave is looking at me like he’s looking at some strange guy.

That’s right… Dave’s daughter’s name is Eren, right?

What is my name?

I made it up randomly, but first of all, it’s Elvin.

Eren and Ervin.

When I mentioned Ervin and Eren, the first thing that came to mind was a cartoon featuring those big giants.

It’s a comic that few people in this world know about except me, but it’s funny.

“Ugh… my friend is consulting on his concerns…”

“Hmm… That’s because I said it wasn’t like that.”

I was laughing hard and making loud noises until I calmed down to some extent.

I cleared my throat with a single cough and looked at Dave again.

He was in the middle of counseling me about a problem, and it seemed like he was sighing at the situation where the conversation ended up in the mountains.

Dave’s concern was definitely an important one.

“So… you’re saying you want us to reduce Eri’s work as an attendant?”

“I know it’s rude to say something like this to your employer, and you know it’s also rude to your subordinates, right? But I wish Eri would work less.”

Mr. Eri’s health condition may worsen at any time, so he requested that he reduce his workload for a while.

When Dave, as my husband, bowed his head and asked for something, I wondered something.

Actually, Eri is not working right now.

I am taking a good rest in the room I prepared, and taking care of my daughter, Ern, with Boho Mi-bun and the maids who bring my daughter up when the time comes.

It hasn’t even been two weeks since I gave birth.

I heard that postpartum care should last at least 6 weeks, so wouldn’t it be okay to rest for at least 2 months?

However… even if it were my opinion, would Eri be quiet if I told her to rest?

Even if he has to force himself to move his body, he will try to follow me around and work.

Because Eri is that kind of woman.

It’s like watching Stella cook after giving birth, and it gives me a headache.

“As you know, Eri doesn’t listen to me very well, right?”

“But if I speak seriously, won’t you understand?”

“hmm…”

I guess… Eri, if I speak seriously, will you understand me?

I can’t give a definitive answer because I’ve never tried it.

Strangely enough, I am quite weak towards Eri.

It’s not as good as Stella’s sister, but I don’t think she’s someone who can say anything out loud.

Why?

Is it because she’s his friend’s wife?

“I’ll say it first.”

“Thank you… I was so worried…”

“As a husband, I also worry about Sister Stella, so it’s not like I don’t understand.”

Dave It seems like this guy has become a lot more timid.

Before, he was the guy who didn’t even know when Eri was dashing and would just stupidly hit her with bruises.

I think I’ve grown now, perhaps because I became a father.

I’m a complete adult now.

Feeling strange for no reason, I tapped Dave’s shoulder twice and left the living room.

Suddenly, Stella and Eri spent more time together.

It’s to the point where I feel like if things continue like this, Eri will be taken away by my older sister.

I don’t want to lose a capable fuse.

So, for no reason, I sat down next to Stella and poked her side.

“Sir, why are you doing this?”

Stella turns around smiling brightly, probably because she’s tickled.

The rabbit Yuri was sitting in her arms, chewing grass.

Yuri This guy was clinging to the goddess even in his past life.

Because he’s a cute guy.

Ah, but now is not the time to be thinking about that.

The important thing now is to prevent Eri from being taken over by Stella.

“Sister, you can’t take Eri away.”

I said it quite bluntly.

Eri’s eyes widened as if she was slightly surprised, but Stella wasn’t.

He gave me an expression that told me not to worry because that couldn’t possibly be the case.

“Hehe, don’t worry I won’t take it away.”

“Really?”

“If you take away the servant and priest of the West, you might be hated, right?”

“Hmm… Anyway, I don’t think I’ll hate you.”

Will the day come when I hate Stella?

I don’t think that day will ever come, because at least Stella won’t betray me.

On the contrary, if Eri says she wants to go to Stella, maybe I will send her there?

Because your opinion is more important than the opinions of me and Stella.

Stella smiled and gently patted my head.

The touch was so soft.

Maybe you’re reading my thoughts.

Stella, who can read people’s thoughts just by looking at her, is truly scary.

“What about you, Eri? Are you interested in becoming my guardian priest?”

Stella playfully asks Eri a question.

It wasn’t something to think about, it was just a joke.

Eri didn’t seem to be worried much.

It just seemed like he was a little worried about how to answer this conversation.

“…No, my master is only Elvin, His Majesty.”

“I guess so~ Strangely enough, all of our guardian priests are very loyal.”

Stella crossed her arms and nodded, saying it was natural.

It was an action that made me think that he had already asked the other priests who served.

Did you really ask?

I’ll have to sneakily ask later.

***

Kitchen late at night.

You may be wondering if I came here looking for something to do on a late night like this, but that wasn’t the reason.

I opened the upper shelf where the oven magic tool was and took out a small box.

The box contained the elixir that the goddess had given me as a gift.

A total of 3 elixirs have been used so far.

One bottle was brought to the room where Eri was staying as a backup just in case, so there are only two bottles left.

“Ha… I need more elixir…”

I’m a little uneasy thinking that there are only two left.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have asked you to teach me at least a god-level recovery magic instead of an elixir.

Past life… No, if I had learned it in my current life, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this.

Should I ask the goddess for more?

Then, the goddess will quietly give you a box and say that this is the last time.

But what next?

Next time you ask for it, you won’t give it to me without saying anything.

1 command.

Or, you might compromise on two favors.

It may be an order for us to go to a resort and get some rest, but the goddess’ order is something that can change the fate of the world.

For example, he may give you an order that may destroy this happiness.

The goddess is a being who maintains order in the world.

No matter how grateful you are to me, you might give up on me again for the sake of world peace.

Well, in this case it might be an order.

If it’s a favor, things will be a little different.

It might be resolved if I go on a business trip somewhere far away for a year or two.

But, is it possible to leave Stella or Luna’s side for one year or two years?

In the past, I would have forced my head to nod in anger, but now that I have indulged so much in peace, I couldn’t get an answer right away.

No, I might refuse the goddess’s request.

I’m not sure, but I can make a prediction.

But… what happens after you reject it?

If I refuse the goddess’s request, our relationship will be shattered.

In the end, this is it.

No matter what I do, for my family’s safety, I have to go away from my family and farm elixir.

Well, I don’t think anything big will happen right now.

If you’re in a hurry, the goddess might heal you with golden light.

However, if that happens, it is certain that this peaceful life will be ruined.

I simply don’t want to give up my peaceful life.

pain…

It’s so painful to see myself once again in my past life, when I went on an adventure to defeat Chaos for my sister Stella.
