I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 158
158 – Earthquake
It was early in the morning, not as bright as usual, but rather overcast with dark clouds.
I was in the middle of waking up Stella and coming down to the kitchen to eat.
“……ha….”
“Aren’t you going to eat? If you don’t eat, you’ll be hungry later.”
Stella, who normally would have already finished eating and cleaned up, was only sighing without taking a sip.
That favorite cream stew is getting cold.
From noble mtl dot come
Or did the maid miss something?
“Would you like some pepper?”
Cream stew tastes good sprinkled with pepper, so I held out a pepper grinder to her.
But Stella shook her head from side to side and pursed her lips.
“I have no appetite.”
“I wonder if I have a cold or something.”
When I placed my hand on her forehead, I felt a slight but slight heat.
The button hasn’t been pressed properly yet, but it felt like the windup button would be pressed if left like this.
I have no appetite, I have a fever… my condition is not very good.
It seems like I’ve been having a lot of trouble mentally recently due to a lot of things happening at the same time.
“Don’t go to work today, rest at home.”
“But…there is a prayer meeting today…”
“Because my sister’s body is more important than the prayer meeting. I listen to what my husband says.”
“yes…”
Stella nodded that she understood.
I even think it’s a bit pitiful that he looks so tired.

“Pfft!”
Yuri cast a recovery spell on Stella, who was lying down and sleeping.
The fever seems to have gone down and the expression has become a little lighter, but due to the nature of recovery magic, it is easy to treat serious illnesses, but difficult to treat mild colds.
A cold is an illness caused by a mild virus.
“Yuri. Stay close to your mom.”
“Pfft.”
That’s why colds are scary.
It is a disease that is difficult to predict because it is scary what kind of virus it is and how the condition will change.
But it’s different when the glass sticks to it.
Even if your body gets worse, if you use infinite recovery magic, you won’t even feel the pain until it gets better.
With that in mind, I lifted Stella’s bangs and stroked her from her forehead down to her cheek.
Stella smiled slightly, as if it felt good to have cold hands taking away the body heat from her hot body.
“Cute, cute.”
Stella was already holding my hand and rubbing her cheek.
It looks like I woke him up when I stroked his cheek earlier.
“How are you feeling?”
“Thanks to the recovery magic Yuri casted on me, I’m not sick.”
I jumped out of bed and stretched out loud.
But I can’t let it continue like this.
I placed my hands on both of her shoulders and pushed them slowly, putting strength into my arms until her head touched the pillow.
Poook-
Only after I heard the sound of the pillow being compressed and sinking in did I take my hand off her shoulder and sit down on the bed.
Yuri jumped around next to Stella and came into my arms.
“If you’re hungry, tell me anytime. The maids will give you carrots…”
“Hipp…”
“No, I made a cream stew with potatoes and broccoli.”
Yuri freaks out at the mere mention of the word carrot.
I can’t even say the word carrot anymore.
“Mmm….but I still have an appetite….”
“Don’t force yourself to eat. If there’s something you want to eat, please let me know.”
I smiled and smiled and tried to go out the door.
If Stella’s fan club finds out that she woke up a sick person and made him talk to her, she will be harassed to the point where she, her husband, and her body will no longer survive.
At that time, Stella grabbed the sleeve of my clothes and wouldn’t let me go.
Is he trying to say something cute like please stay by my side?
“Sir, do you have any fruit or anything?”
fruit?
I wasn’t asking you to stay next to me, but I was looking for fruit growing on a tree!
Ugh….I can’t be this sad.
Well, I did stock up on fruit…
“I bought tangerines and pineapples yesterday…”
“I guess I have a cold and I’m craving something sour.”
“Is it okay? If you’re craving something sour, I think it would be better to add citric acid to water.”
Normally, when I have a cold, I crave something sour.
So, mixing a little edible citric acid in hot water and drinking it is perfect for your health.
And eating fruit on an empty stomach will only harm your body further.
“Hmph…I want to eat tangerines…”
“If you really want to eat it, I’ll give it to you with cream stew and some bread.”
The method of scolding a child who does not want to eat has gone too far.
I didn’t live in an orphanage for 19 years in vain!
Stella’s eyes began to sparkle as if she had taken the bait right away.
He said he would bring me fruit as long as he ate, so he seems like a complete hamster.
“Really?”
“When have I ever lied?”
“oooh…then I’ll eat it.”
“Yes, yes, even if it hurts, you have to eat.”
He patted Stella’s head gently and called the maid waiting outside.
She bowed her head and left, and less than three minutes later, there was a knock on the door and the food arrived.
First, install the dining table connected to the bed frame…
A simple dining table could tip over, so I modified it just in case.
On top of it is half a slice of bread and a small amount of cream stew, enough to disappear in 6 spoons.
Eating too much when you’re sick isn’t good for your health, so I guess I only ate as much as I could in moderation.
“Now, hurry up and eat.”
“Mr. Seobang….”
“What’s wrong?”
Stella’s face was slightly red as she lifted the spoon and held it out.
Her eyes looked like she was hoping for something, but it felt like she was pulling back as if she was having a bit of trouble speaking.
I don’t know much and I don’t know this.
I’m asking you to feed me with that spoon.
Didn’t Stella feed me when I was sick before?
Although it was a little embarrassing, it had been a long time since I felt that much love.
I grabbed the sponge and scooped up some creamy stew.
It doesn’t seem to be sprinkled with pepper, so it doesn’t suit my personal taste, but it would be perfect for people who are sick.
“Ah~”
When I put the spoon near her mouth, her mouth immediately opened wide.
Stella opened her mouth accordingly.

When we finished eating and served the table, fruit was immediately placed on the table.
The maids must have bought other fruits, so I saw fruits that weren’t in the refrigerator earlier.
Green grapes, strawberries, oranges, pineapple.
It’s more orange than tangerine.
Stella started poking the fruit with her fork and putting it in her mouth.
Like her pet squirrel, he stuffed the contents into his mouth and started chewing them all at once.
If you’re going to do that, grind it up and drink it.
What kind of taste is it to eat?
***
“How are you, Saint?”
“Hmm…I think it’s okay, but…”
I sighed as I looked out the window of the bedroom where she would be lying.
In the end, Stella poured all the fruit into her mouth and lay down on the bed with a happy expression on her face.
It made me wonder if it really hurt.
“Well, I guess it’ll be okay. There’s Yuri next to me.”
“Then, let’s leave quickly. If we continue like this, I’ll be late again.”
“Or take it out or!”
Anyone who sees it will think you were late because of me!
The fault lies entirely with me.
Even so this time!

Well, it was a path that took less than 5 minutes to walk, so I walked slowly.
The entrance to the church headquarters is always crowded at this time…..
No, why is the entrance to the church headquarters so crowded?
In the first place, people inside the church headquarters do not go outside unless it is time to go out.
So there is no reason for the church headquarters to be crowded.
Even if you’re a person who commutes to and from work, it’s not much…
Did something happen?
“I’ll go and find out.”
“Don’t go alone, come with Dave.”
I can’t send Eri alone to a place crowded with men.
He pushed Dave’s back and ordered him to come with him.
Eri and Dave, who ran over, listened to the people at the entrance and nodded.
Now that I look at it, the expression seems a little dark.
“Has there been an earthquake somewhere else?”
“It happens often these days… I received a telegram saying there was an earthquake in my hometown.”
“Mr. Ether, where is your hometown?”
“It’s east of the Church of Christ.”
“east…..”
It was clearly a place with some type of castle wall.
Well, I don’t think it’s related since earthquakes are occurring in other places as well.
“How’s the situation at Ether’s house?”
“…I think it’s very bad.”
“……many?”
“yes….”
Mr. Ether’s expression looks very bad.
Should I say that the water is full of depth?
No, then at least tell me.
Why isn’t this person talking?
“How about filing a claim for damages?”
“I did it, but the situation seems to be bad in other places too…”
“Ha…you should tell me that first….”
Priest Subal is my family.
No matter how ugly I am, a man is a creature that wants to support his family until the end.
Due to frequent earthquake damage recently, personnel from the church headquarters are being dispatched.
However, that also means that people have to pay attention to make a decision and move on.
If you just say you came to file a claim because your house collapsed, they won’t send anyone.
From noble mtl dot come
Roughly speaking, they would say, “Please help by putting a pipe in a nearby church.”
Still, we can’t blame the church headquarters for that.
Because there is a shortage of workers.
“I guess I should go find Sister Esili.”
“Chu…Cardinal?!”
“Those people over there are probably short of manpower due to the earthquake damage, so they came to ask for manpower. If you combine the priests and knights at the church headquarters, there are tens of thousands of people, but let that manpower go to waste!”
Now is not the time.
