I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 169
169 – Side story, Stella’s older sister going out and taking care of her child
About a week has passed since the child was born.
Sister Stella said she was feeling better and started going to work at the church headquarters.
I wanted to suggest taking a break for another month, but I didn’t think I could stop Stella, who had spent nearly a year quietly at home.
I recovered my body with recovery magic, so I pushed ahead without any problems.
Sister Stella’s attendants comforted me by saying that I didn’t have to worry too much because they would take good care of me.
Sigh… Anyway, even if you receive recovery magic after giving birth, they say you can rest for a month…
I don’t doubt that Yongyong’s recovery magic is excellent, but wouldn’t it be better psychologically to rest for about a month?
“Really? Is it Luna?”
Our Luna can’t even babble properly yet.
Rather than answering, he moves his body wildly to answer his father’s questions.
You’ll be babbling in just three months, right?
I’m already looking forward to that.
At that time, I will be able to use the rocking bed I bought.
As I was staring at my daughter with that thought in mind, the door to this place opened.
Someone said it was our maids.
“Master. It’s time for you to drink powdered milk.”
“Ah, is that already done?”
Stella’s older sister feeds her breast milk in the morning and she drinks milk every hour.
Of course, it’s not me who feeds them, but the maids who feed them.
The people who came this time are very skilled.
It’s probably because you’ve already taken care of a child once or twice.
The two people who came inside lifted Luna very kindly.
And when I look at the smile that comes out of my mouth, I can feel that they really love and cherish the child.
After seeing Luna enjoying the powdered milk for a long time, I came out.
I feel like I want to see you more, but Luna needs to get some rest too.
Children sleep for up to 17 hours, so after eating and digesting food, they have to sleep again.
If I act like a fool there, Luna will only get tired.
“Whew… I guess I’ll try swinging my sword again today.”
I learned this while swinging a sword these days.
This is why people in the old days swung swords to unify their minds.
When you swing a sword, you become completely absorbed in it.
When you’re engrossed, you end up focusing on the sword you’re swinging rather than thinking about anything else.
Then, before you know it, you’ve been swinging the sword for 3 to 4 hours.
Even though it seems like it’s only been a while since I swung it, a lot of time has passed.
When I first experienced this, I wondered if I had talent?
They made a fuss about the state of unification of the sword and the sword.
Of course, there was no such thing.
I once asked my brother, the head of the secret unit and Stella’s adoptive brother, and he said that everyone who has started to become a swordsman feels this at least once.
I can’t believe everyone feels this.
I thought this world was really amazing.
Boom!
Boom!
Not only that, but the sound it makes when swinging it has also changed significantly.
At first it was a sloppy swishing sound, but now it sounds like a sword cutting through the air.
They said this is the sound you hear when you put the right amount of strength into both hands.
I heard that if your posture gets better, the sound will change again.
Posture… how should I hold it?
I heard that you can feel the center of gravity of a swing if you swing it alone for a few months, so I swung it hard and I could really feel it…
I’m not sure about my posture.
I don’t even know what the correct posture is.
Is it time to ask the knights?
Should I go to the door and ask?
“Haaam….I’m tired….”
Meanwhile, Dave passes in front of me, yawning loudly and swinging his sword.
I must have just woken up and my head was in a tangled mess.
That guy makes good friends and sleeps in all the time.
If he were an ordinary priest, he would still be working hard.
“Hey, are you awake now?”
“I slept late last night…”
Dave yawns loudly again.
What’s the point of sleeping late…
“Yesterday? Oh, you said you went on patrol with the knights yesterday?”
“Yesterday, you patrolled instead of the people who went on vacation for the day.”
It was like that.
I remember that there were quite a few people in the Knights Order who went on vacation yesterday, so the priests on duty did their work or went on patrol instead.
I guess everyone would have returned by now.
Since we are a very peaceful country, it is unlikely that anything major will happen.
But now I have a daughter.
Just in case, I hope the knights will work hard to protect my house.
“Wake up.”
“I want to sleep more…”
“What? It’s already lunch time?”
“Ugh…”
If you leave this guy alone, he sleeps all day.
After finishing patrol work in the morning, I slept for at least 8 hours.
***
Afterwards, I went to the knights’ waiting area with Dave and asked him to correct his posture a little.
The knight commander’s lieutenant saw my holding posture and corrected it a bit, and strangely, I felt like swinging the sword was easier than before.
This is why it is said that maintaining the center of gravity and posture are important.
They say that if you just pay attention to these two things, you can grow to intermediate level.
“If you’re going to aim for it, shouldn’t you aim for the upper level?”
“I feel like I want to do that.”
As I answered Dave’s obvious and obvious words, sweat poured down my forehead every time I swung my sword.
Looking at the sweat flowing down, I can feel that I still have a long way to go.
Didn’t they say that superiors just swing a sword and don’t sweat?
Sweating means that you keep doing unnecessary movements.
The gap between intermediate and advanced is too big.
It’s funny that the hero is lamenting like this through swordsmanship, but I’m a warrior chosen without a cause or purpose, so I have no power, right?
I wonder if my swordsmanship skills from my previous life are awakened.
I think it would be quite fun if that were possible.
“Oh, you are a saint.”
As I was swinging my sword for a while, Stella came through the entrance.
Looking at the tired looks of the priests in charge behind me, I can see how much they have been moving around all day today.
It’s pitiful…
Our attendant priests are resting well at home…
“Is it already time to get off work? How much did we get caught?”
“Four hours?”
“I don’t think it’s been even an hour?”
“That’s right.”
Has it already passed that much?
From now on, I’ll have to watch the time while swinging my sword.
He put the holy sword he was holding into his waistband and wiped the sweat with his sleeve.
However, the material of the clothes is breathable, so sweat doesn’t get wiped off easily.
“Western man. I’ve been there~♬”
Stella approaches me with a bright smile.
I wanted to pat his head, but I held back because it was covered in sweat and dust.
Because just looking at her smile makes me happy.
Let me do the stroking.
“Are you here? You look happy and have been walking around a lot.”
“Hehe. I came here after wandering around with my mother and sister. By the way…”
She began to pay attention to the profuse sweat that was dripping down her face as she spoke.
Then he took out a small handkerchief from his pocket and began wiping the sweat from my forehead little by little.
From noble mtl dot come
“You’re working really hard. Have you made any progress?”
“Of course there was. Now, when I swing the sword, I can hear the sound of the wind cutting through it.”
You may be wondering if there is any progress at all, but hearing the sound of a wooden stick swinging followed by the sound of the wind cutting through it is a big step forward.
It’s a bit vague considering I’ve been practicing swordsmanship for almost half a year.
“After all, Seo-bi is a man, so I guess it’s inevitable that he likes swordsmanship.”
“Hmm…”
“Hehe, that’s cute.”
Stella, who is so cute, pokes her finger at my cheek.
The more she did that, the more red my face got.
The attendant priests behind us listened to our affectionate conversation… What did they hear?
The expression on his face is funny because he is exhausted from how hard it has been.
“Sister. I think it would be better to let the priests rest instead of doing this now.”
“Oh! I forgot! You can all go take a break.”
“Well… then I’ll call it a day and call it a day…”
Stella has many priests, so they work in shifts.
So, even if they come back exhausted, it is enough to replace them with the lively attendant priests who are waiting at home.
It’s a little strange to say it’s a replacement.
Let’s say it’s a shift.
However, as I was looking at the priests, Stella was looking at me with her eyes sparkling.
Now, if you pretend, you pretend… I think I know roughly what you want.
“So? It’s been a while since you went out. Where did you go with your mother and sister?”
“The southern village! It’s been a while since I’ve been there, so it’s changed a lot!”
That’s right.
I found it after almost a year.
“I’m so happy that so many snack shops have opened up.”
“Next time, shall we take Luna and I together?”
“Really!? Is that okay?!”
“Once you grow up to a certain degree, it will be okay to go together.”
Of course, it will take about a year to see.
At that point, Luna will be up for more time and will start crawling around too.
Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to take someone in a stroller and enjoy a date?
Oh, of course, there will be a bunch of priests and knights sticking around behind you.
