I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 166
166 – Side story, let’s train the holy sword.
I was summoned as a hero, but I didn’t receive any ridiculous special morale skills or anything.
Rather, they have physical strength that is inferior to that of people in this world.
Still, I was able to run well for long periods of time because I had outstanding tenacity.
When you were receiving training as a priest, wasn’t there a time when you kept spinning around the playground?
Anyway, that’s why I’m not sure if even a hero can use the holy sword properly.
Swinging a sword is possible because I worked hard for about a year, but…
“But what’s different about it being a holy sword?”
First, I am cleaning the dirty sword.
When I first found it, it was dirty, no different from the practice swords that priests used for practice, but now that I have cleaned it, it has become a sparkling, wonderful holy sword.
But that’s it.
It doesn’t seem like he has great power or anything like that.
Isn’t this guy’s only ability to stalk?
The ability to stalk only me.
“Well… I didn’t bring it because of your abilities.”
I felt a little sorry for this guy who wanted to be with me.
However, I was unfortunate enough to be sealed once…
Anyway, since I announced to the world that I am a hero, I can keep it now, right?
The holy sword belongs to the hero.
“Well, it’s completely clean now.”
I cleaned it thoroughly using two tissues.
I feel like taking it to the bathroom and washing it clean, but it would be crazy to do that because the black moisture will rust it.
But what’s the point of using alcohol?
Since I’m not trying to sterilize, I think side effects will just happen.
“Hmm… I’ll try swinging it slowly.”
I threw away the trash I had left to organize my sword and went out into the yard.
The heat has broken and a cool breeze is blowing outside.
Now the weather is suitable for some exercise.
Or should I just use the basement to create a training room?
Well, I’m the only one in my house who can use it.
Boom-!
Boom-!
As I grabbed the holy sword and swung it, the sound of the wind breaking was heard in my ears.
The sword itself appears to be well-balanced, as the wind noise is heard even though it is not struck very hard.
If you swing a well-balanced sword, your physical balance will also be good.
I heard that you can feel the difference from swinging the sword.
“Hmm… it’s still a little lacking…”
Can I boast in this world that I know how to use a sword with this level of swing?
If you see the Holy Knights using swords, let alone boasting about them, you will not be able to say that you have ever swung a sword in a conversation in a bar where the men’s bravado is filled with alcohol.
“As expected, you will need a teacher to learn swordsmanship…”
But is there anyone who can teach me how to use a sword?
All I can think of are the priests at the church headquarters.
“It’s not like a guy who’s already retired as a priest can ask for a favor. Right now, I’ll just have to take some swings.”
I’ll ask Stella later.
For now, let’s just swing it.

Since I’m swinging a sword at home every day, something comes to mind.
At first, things like posture and how to hold the sword came to mind, but as time goes by, practical and sure ways to swing the sword come to mind.
How to hold a sword to make it more comfortable, and how to hold a sword to become stronger…
Things like that.
Are these memories of my past life?
Since I know very well what my past life was like, it is surprising and truly gratifying to be reminded of memories from that time.
It’s basically peaceful, but if you go outside, there are monsters swarming around, right?
Just in case, like last time, I go abroad with Stella or have something to do.
I remember how monsters suddenly appeared in large numbers and our spirits worked hard.
Anyway, my sword skills are improving day by day.
Since I feel like I’m growing every day, it’s only natural that I find swordsmanship fun, right?
After all, a warrior must stay with the holy sword.
If I had known this would happen, I would have treated Seonggeom well from the moment he first came to me.
Wow.
Isn’t this a total regret?
I wish they would do it better sooner… I think I’ve seen a lot of web novels that felt like this.
“Whew… I guess that’s all for today.”
No matter how cool the day is, I’m starting to get tired after swinging the sword for four hours.
I still feel like technology can’t keep up with my body, so I get tired quickly.
I was confident that I had improved my physical strength considerably while serving as a priest.
I guess it has decreased a lot after being unemployed for over 5 months.
It won’t work.
Wouldn’t excellent swordsmanship require stamina to be effective?
Starting tomorrow, I will wake up early in the morning and run at a canter.
At the current level, it is not enough to make me feel sorry for the Holy Sword.
“bruise!”
“Huh? Perry wants to run with me too?”
Are you saying it’s not a dog spirit for nothing?
As soon as the word ‘gubo’ is said, our ferry suddenly appears and barks.
It looked no different from a dog that reacts when it hears the word ‘walk’.
Perry is the type of person who goes out and comes back on his own when he wants to go for a walk, so I thought he didn’t mind too much.
Okay, from now on, my brother will take me out for a walk.
If you’re going out for a walk on the ferry, the purpose is clear, so wouldn’t you try to go out every day even if it’s annoying?
I picked up Perry, whose little tail was wagging wildly, and hugged him tightly.
Sniff… After all, it’s a spirit, so it only has a soft smell.
“bruise!!”
As I hugged him, Perry started barking at the holy sword lying on the floor.
I was wondering something, but Perry and Seonggeom had known each other for a long time.
Are they happy to see each other after such a long time?
Or did he just react because he saw a sword he had seen before?
“Holy water and holy sword… Looking at him like this, he looks like a real hero.”
He is a strange warrior who is unemployed and only swings a sword all day.
Swinging a sword is nice, but I need to think about what I will do for a living from now on.
The priest’s job is a bit different.
In the first place, there was no way for a hero to be a priest.

What’s the point of being unemployed? I’m thinking of doing a little housework.
So I came out to see if there was anything I could do to clean up the yard, but the gardener who took care of our yard was so skilled that I didn’t need to mess with it at all.
No, to be precise, it feels like you’ll be ruined if you touch it?
I thought it would be a mess if a non-expert like me touched it.
Then chopping firewood…
Come to think of it, we didn’t use firewood, we used horse power coal.
And since the magic coal is provided by the church headquarters, there is no need for me to transport it or move it separately.
From noble mtl dot come
Because everything is handled by the church headquarters…
Um… then the kitchen?
I went there to do some dishwashing, but the maids sent me out, saying it wasn’t good for a man to work in the kitchen.
Is this even more so because it is a religious country with strong patriarchal tendencies?
That’s not true, most of our maids are not from religious countries but mostly from foreign countries.
“Hmm… I really don’t have anything to do if it’s like this.”
My family seems to be doing very well even without me.
Not having to do housework is a happy thing whether you have a dual income or are a full-time housewife, but for an unemployed person, it causes anxiety and burden…
Unemployed people also had their own difficulties…
Let’s respect that from now on.
“No… Now that I think about it, I will take care of it later when the baby is born… Ah.”
When a child is born, parents take care of it.
That thing is natural in this world, but when your wife is a saint, it becomes no longer a natural thing.
I heard that three more people were selected from the maid guild to babysit this time.
I heard that basically taking care of children is a maid’s job.
I’m not an aristocrat, but strangely I should say that I have similar values to an aristocrat…
It’s not that I can’t take care of my child, but I’m not at the level where I consider taking care of my child like work.
People with experience taking care of children will do a much better job than me.
………..I don’t know.
I just need to get my watch repaired.
Should I just open a clock room or something?
As I repair watches, my watch skills are improving.
Not long ago, I fixed the watches of two of my classmates.
I took the quartz apart, removed the debris, and replaced it with a similar part, so it worked normally.
Should we say that this is thanks to the uniformity of all parts of the watch?
In any case, repairing a watch is not that difficult.
Despite this, there are very few watch repair shops.
Now that things have come to this, I wonder if I should at least open a store in front of my house that sells and repairs watches at the same time.
What a joy it is to be able to bring a hobby to work.
Hmm… I’ll have to keep it in my head for once.
But the more I think about it, the more I like it.
A person who sells/buys/repairs watches.
Since there aren’t many people interested in watches, there won’t be that much work.
Wouldn’t this be the job best suited to a leisurely and peaceful life?
