I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

39 – Jinwang Shrine (3)

“Elvin, are you going to Jinwang Shrine tomorrow?”

“I have to go…”

In the ancestral rites at the Shrine of King Jin, Stella and Perry, the holy beast, also participate.

And since I am a warrior myself, I have to participate.

Everyone is resting, so I’m going to rest hard, but I’m the only one who’s having a hard time.

“Hey Alvin! Don’t worry! We’re going to do odd jobs too!”

“I clean!”

“Me too!”

I thought I would have to walk through the vast wilderness alone, but no.

I had ‘colleagues’.

“Keuuugh! Let’s drink and die today!”

I raised the glass of beer I was drinking.

And straight!

It seems that he is starting to get drunk with the feeling of cold, intense carbonic acid flowing down his throat.

“Yes yes, drink!”

“Eat what you drink and die!”

What?

It was obviously a toast in praise of a warm and beautiful friendship, right?

“This guy, did you know that I kissed the saintess earlier…?”

“Hey! Alvin’s glass is empty! Pour more quickly!”

“Stop! Stop pouring!”

My classmates poured a lot of beer into my cup.

He urged me to drink it quickly, so I closed my eyes and poured all the beer into my mouth.

“Wow…!”

He set the beer glass down forcefully on the table.

It was an action that could be done because it had a protective magic on it, so it wouldn’t break.

“Drink well! Now, another drink!”

“That… Stop…! I have to get up early tomorrow…”

“I don’t have a part-time job like that! I should have been careful when I brought the saintess and made fun of her.”

“That… That… It wasn’t something I wanted to do…”

On that day, due to bullying from her seniors and classmates,

I was able to wake up the next morning after constantly drinking beer.

From now on, I will never do skinship in front of these people.

***

At the Shrine of the King of Jin, the ancestral rites for the King of Jin are almost over.

After the Cheonghaengrye and the Singwanrye, the Cheonjorye follows.

After that, wine, the favorite liquor of the King Jin, was offered as a tribute to the royal court and the royal ceremony.

But…

At the request of the great sage, I decided to perform the dedication ceremony of offering alcohol.

So I stand in the center of the temple where the eyes of priests and priests converge.

“Priest Elvin, let’s start the ceremony soon.”

“Yes… Yes…!”

“hahahaha, since King Jin is a kind person, he will forgive Priest Elvin if he makes a little mistake.”

“Whoa… Whoa…”

I wouldn’t say that if I knew what type of wine I’m holding in my hand right now.

This wine is from the vintage that King Jin loved.

This wine was made 3,000 years ago.

It is said that the wine collected by King Jin is still stored in the basement of the church headquarters.

It is not a wine that can be converted by price.

“hahahahaha. Of course, I don’t know if priest Elvin will be able to receive his salary in the future.”

“Hey…”

“It’s a joke. It’s a joke. Ha ha ha.”

The high priest gave me a hard blow on the back while holding a tray with a wine bottle and a wine glass on it.

When I saw the wine bottle shaking at the moment, I almost saw a kaleidoscope.

“Come on! Then go ahead.”

“Yes.”

Stella gets restless as she watches me progress slowly.

And then Perry walked up behind me.

I made up my mind after seeing the two of them.

If you break this, you will be in trouble…

*

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Whoa… Thank you.”

I put the thermos bottle Stella gave me to my mouth and drank it in one gulp.

Is it because the taste of the sweet fruit spreads in your mouth and your blood sugar rises?

I was lethargic and had no strength all over my body until recently, but it seems to be getting better.

“But, real magic is terrifying.”

“Magic?”

When I mentioned magic, Stella tilted her head.

Magic and magical powers are familiar and familiar to Stella, so she won’t be too surprised.

Isn’t the me who flew from this world different?

“To think that 3,000 years old wine smells fresh and fragrant…”

“Aha, that’s what you meant.”

Magic, which seems to be lacking in some places, is strangely different from science in some places.

No matter how good the refrigerators and freezers on Earth are, can wine be stored for thousands of years without spoiling?

No, no matter how good the refrigerator or freezer is, things can go bad due to broken bottles or broken corks.

By the way, it’s not magic.

Once the preservation magic is applied, it will neither break nor rot.

If Stella cooks a sandwich right now and puts a preservation spell on it,

It retains its freshness and warmth even after 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 years.

“Come to think of it, did you say that there is no magic in the world the West came from?”

“Yes, but science was developed instead.”

“It’s hard to imagine… In this world, magic is advancing science.”

Yes, that’s probably the biggest difference.

If science has developed science in our world, magic has developed science in this world.

For example, using fire magic to boil water and generate steam power…

“First of all, I think I need to wipe off my sweat. If you stay like that in this weather, you’ll catch a cold.”

“Umm…..”

I brought a large towel instead of a small handkerchief and began to wipe my face meticulously.

Beside Perry and Yongyong are playing while wiping each other with pieces of cloth.

They say parents are the mirrors of their children…

“Then why did the Great Sage point to the West?”

“I’m sure it’s because you’re a warrior?”

“Hmm… Come to think of it, that might be the closest answer…”

It’s so strange to see how the great sage treats me these days.

Surely, the great sage must be the Sangjeon, but should I say that he feels like he is serving me as the Sangjeon?

It’s also common for people to suddenly shut their mouths while talking.

“I’m sure he’s hiding something.”

“Sure. Shall I ask you a question?”

“Wouldn’t that seem too rude?”

“Um…If the West thinks so…”

Since Stella can’t stand questions, she seems a little downcast.

First, he lightly stroked her hair.

“It looks like the cleanup is over, so shall we go back too?”

“Yes, sir.”

I handed a towel to Stella, who was smiling brightly, and I picked out her clothes and put them on.

I hope next time someone else will order it, not me.

*

“So! Take it off!”

“Ugh…”

I was heading to the dormitory after the ceremony, but Stella kept following what was going on, so I wondered what was going on.

Is it because you just want to be with me? I wanted to, so I divided it so that I could follow you to the room.

By the way, he came into the room and revealed his true colors!

She suddenly asks me to take off her clothes, saying that she will wash them herself.

“If you don’t take it off, you’ll be cold.”

“Chu… It’s cold…”

“It’s not embarrassing to do laundry in the room anyway, right?”

“But… There is a washing machine on the 1st floor, so why does Stella wash by hand!”

How good is the welfare of our priests?

It is a very, very expensive washing machine that even has a drying function.

I don’t use it, so there’s absolutely no reason for the saintess to wash it by hand.

“A wife needs a reason to wash her husband’s clothes! Come on!”

“Ugh… I can’t argue with that..”

What she said is not wrong.

In this world, washing machines are magic tools, so they are very expensive.

It is said that you can count on one hand the number of families you own.

That’s why hand washing is the standard, and people with a bit of money leave their laundry at the laundry center.

Before Stella was adopted, she was raised in an orphanage.

Of course, it must have been washed by hand.

“If you take this off, your clothes…”

“Cover the blanket in bed and stay for a while.”

“…Okay.”

In this world where Stella’s words are the law, I cannot go against Stella’s words.

With her heart, she unbuttoned her clothes one by one, her tears dripping, and she held out her top, which was completely undressed, to her.

Then, the pants were also taken down and handed over.

“It’s cold!”

“Please come in.”

“Chu…. Even if it’s cold, her wife can’t go in to wash her hands…”

I can’t say I won’t get a drop of water on my hands because I’m not good enough

I hand-wash in cold water, but I can’t sit in a warm blanket by myself.

“Hey… I’ll wait here.”

“Mr. West…”

Looking at it from someone else’s point of view, it seemed like an idiot, but

Stella seems to be just ecstatic.

Stella, blushing as much as I was, turned her head around and went into her bathroom.

Ah…

Come to think of it, hot water runs indefinitely in our dorm bathroom.

“You remember now? So please stay inside.”

“No, once I make up my mind, I will act unconditionally.”

Stella finds my promise strange.

I think I can somehow endure Stella’s bitter smile.

*

“Wow… Did you really wash this by hand?”

The clothes Stella gave me were very clean.

She got rid of the old grime that couldn’t be removed with a washing machine at once, to the point where you could even see the illusion that her sincerity was sparkling white.

“Ever since, when I was in an orphanage, I washed my hands every day!”

“Good job, bad job.”

“hehehe…”

As I stroked her hair continuously, Stella’s face quickly became relaxed.

It looks good when you stroke it.
