I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 172
172 – Part 2 Episode 1, The Changing Church
At that time, I was about to return home from work at the convenience store.
Suddenly, I was transported to another world by a blue light that enveloped my body.
The world I was summoned to was not a fantasy world with a medieval feel.
Rapid development was being achieved by using magic in daily life, and if we were to consider the Earth, the development status was similar to that of the United States in the 1910s and 1920s.
A world where science and magic mix to achieve progress.
I was summoned to that world as a hero.
“Just because I’m a hero doesn’t mean I’m a hero who fights…”
There are quite a few reasons why I was called to this world.
First of all, the biggest reason is to find a husband for a ‘saint’ who can be said to be the representative of the goddess.
For political reasons, the leaders of the religious order decided that they would not be able to find a husband in their own country or in other countries, so they decided to summon a warrior and give the saintly woman a hand in marriage.
This is because a warrior is determined by the goddess and is a saint with an immaculate soul and mind.
Regardless of whether I really am that kind of person, the reason the goddess brought me here is probably because I was suited to be her husband.
And the second reason.
Should I say that this is again the goddess’s will?
Because my past life was a bit unusual, it was for a strange reason: to repay the favor of my past life.
I still don’t remember completely, but…
In my past life, I was the first warrior called ‘The Former King’.
An entity that sealed the chaos that was trying to destroy the world by making a contract with the great spirit Seongsu and holding the holy sword.
He is the ‘Former King’ who is praised as the being who brought comfort and future to this world.
Was he sorry that he had brought me to this world in his past life and made me live a strange fate?
This time, they transported me here, telling me to live a fun and peaceful life.
I was happy to meet ‘Great Sage’ after a long time and meet ‘Perry’, ‘Yuri’, and ‘Yongyong’.
And I, who had lived without a single friend, let alone a family, now have a family.
Now that I have a loving wife and daughter, I just want to spend the present faithfully without thinking about the past.
“Woof! Mow!”
Sure enough, Perry, who was involved 3,000 years ago, also seemed to think the same thing and cried in my arms.
This child looks just like a baby Pomeranian, no different from 3,000 years ago or now, and is really cute.
He was the first friend I had as a person who loves dogs.
“…You seem like a very pitiful person since you say your dog is your first friend.”
It was true that he was a poor human being.
anyway…
But if you think about it this way, Perry has known who I am since I came to this world.
It must have looked different and the harvesting process would have been different, so how did you know?
I grabbed Perry’s side, lifted him slightly, and laid him down.
It felt like an airplane game for kids.
“bruise!”
“I wonder if the day will come when we can give our Luna a plane too.”
When will it be?
I’m probably the only dad with a smile on his face at the thought of letting his one-year-old child fly on an airplane.

Recently, there is one thing I felt while staying at home for nearly a year.
I thought that if I continued to spend time at home like this, I would really live a life like a pillar.
I wouldn’t know if I was a noble person from the beginning, but in my case, I’m not suited to living an unemployed life.
Even if you stay at home, the maids do all the housework and take care of Luna, right?
So I decided to go back to work.
Since the only job I could do in the religious order bureau was as a priest, I decided to become a priest again.
As before, his rank is low-ranking priest.
No matter how much he was a warrior and the husband of a saint, there was no change in his rank.
“It feels a little unfamiliar since I haven’t worn it in a long time.”
If there is a difference, how much is the difference in the behavior of the serving priests?
Even after I quit being a priest, the number of priests who served as a priest continued to increase, and this time too, people who became my guardian priests are helping me here and there.
You can wear it alone, but given my status, I am not allowed to wear it alone.
Sister Stella, a saint, felt a little dizzy when she was told to give up because the priest was changing her clothes.
No, Stella is a woman and she is a female guardian priest, so their genders match…
In my case, I’m a man and it’s just embarrassing to hear that a female attendant changes my clothes.
And Stella might not like it.
Of course you wouldn’t hate it if your husband was being dressed up by other women, right?
There was a time when I thought…
That was just the delusion of a child who had no idea about everything in this world.
When did you realize that my wife wasn’t such a narrow-minded person…
Even though you knew I was taking a bath alone, you jumped into the bathroom accompanied by the priest of Subal?
Or did you come into the dressing room with the attendant priests while I was changing clothes?
All of these may seem like lies, but they actually happened.
To begin with, our saint is the adopted daughter of the Pope.
Naturally, she lived a worse life than the nobles, and in the saintess’s common sense, it was common sense, reason, and natural for someone who served her to look at the master’s body.
Isn’t there something like that in fantasy web novels?
A male servant helps a noble lady take a bath, or changes everything from underwear to clothes.
For our saint, it was just a female servant, not a male servant.
Additionally, since this world has a somewhat male-dominant tendency, it is natural for men to also be changed by female servants.
“ha…”
“Father, ma’am. What’s going on?”
“No… I’m just a little embarrassed.”
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t embarrassed.
How can you not be embarrassed when everything is completely stripped away?
Plus, I vaguely sigh when I think about starting life as a priest again from today.
“You don’t really like priest work, do you?”
As I spread my arms, clothes are put on one by one.
A white priest’s uniform was put on, and finally, earrings were placed on both ears.
On the left are wedding earrings.
On the right was an earring that looked like an ID card proving that he was a warrior.
And finally outerwear.
This is something I didn’t normally wear, but it is said that the church headquarters made it out of consideration for me.
A thin, pure white outfit with gold embroidery.
Should I call it a distinguishing mark so that no one misunderstands?
Anyway, that’s it.
“Rather than that, I should say that I’m a little worried about what I’m going to do starting today.”
“Aha, actually, we’re a little worried about that too… but I think you don’t have to worry too much since we’re with you.”
The attendant priests who comforted me and told me not to worry.
their
My job from today is to assist in the training of priests.
It seems like the church headquarters is trying to use the fact that I am a warrior to make the training of new priests a little easier.
The lower-level priests who were selected for priest training were often looked down on.
After the training is over, since they are all junior priests, they have the same status, although they have a relationship of senior and successor.
It seems that the church headquarters is aware of the problem because of this.
The fact that I wore the priest’s clothes again this time was also an extension of that.
But then, I wonder if it would be okay to take mid-level priests who are one level higher than low-level priests.
I was selected because it was not a problem that could be easily solved.
Anyway, you won’t be able to go against me as I am a low-level priest and have the status of a warrior.
And isn’t he the saint’s husband?
If you get caught wrongly, you must be prepared that your life in the religious world will be painful and difficult.
There wouldn’t be an idiot who spends half his life on hard mode just to spend his time comfortably for only about a month.

As expected, it feels a little different since I’m wearing these clothes.
Even though I am a low-level priest, the middle-level priests slightly bow their heads and greet me first.
After all, I’m not used to being greeted by my superiors.
Now that I’m back as a low-level priest, aren’t those people my superiors?
The place we are currently working is where new priests receive training.
Those people just now are the people in charge of this place and the people who raise the low-level priests who will support the religious order.
We also received education from them.
When you are greeted by people like that, you can’t help but feel a strange feeling.
And from today onwards, we will be doing auxiliary work here.
Sometimes, there will be times when I lead new low-ranking priests and ask them to do their work.
“Does work mean we can do whatever we want?”
Dave, who had listened to the brief explanation with me, scratched his head.
This guy, who is scratching his head and saying he doesn’t know and has a sinister smile on his face, is really no different from the devil.
His eyes looked like he was really looking forward to rolling it this time since he had rolled it too.
After all, this b*stard is a devil.
