Two Saints Wander Off Into A Different World Chapter 3
Chapter 3
“What is this!”
The king and the dwarf had arrived at the scene . There were two girls with black hair that were groaning on the floor . The two who had arrived first were now covered in filth .
“It reeks of alcohol . ”
The dwarf mumbled .
“It appears that the current Saintess is of a drinking age then . ”
The king called after the priests who were frantically running around the room .
“The Saintess is not feeling her best . Hurry up and take her to her room so she can be cleaned . Aeris, Zynis, you two should take a bath . Then you can tell me about what happened in my office!”
The priests and knights immediately began to move . There were also two handmaidens who had had to wait idly for six months who looked excited to have something to do again .
“Sir knight, please offer the Saintess your shoulder . ”
“Would it not be faster to carry her?”
“She will surely expel something again if you did that . We must not allow her to sway too much, move her slowly . ”
Like this, nearly unconscious Maki and the very conscious and alert Chiharu were taken to their rooms . Indeed, Chiharu thought . Imagine if the first time you were carried like a princess was because you were being cared for as a drunkard .
The two were quickly cleaned with warm towels before being made to drink water that had a citrus smell . Then they were given pajamas that looked like bathrobes .
“The talk can wait for tomorrow . ”
They were told as they were put into bed . Chiharu had resisted the idea of separate rooms, and so they shared a bed that was still s.p.a.cious with two people in it . Seeing that they had settled in their covers, the handmaidens bid them goodnight .
“If you require anything, just ring the bell by the pillows . Now, goodnight . ”
“Um . ”
“What is it?”
“Thank you . ”
Chiharu said in a quiet voice . The handmaid’s smiled and left .
Maki was sleeping peacefully next to her .
“You really are something, Maki-chan . Thank G.o.d tomorrow is a Sat.u.r.day . ”
She had no idea what was happening . But they hadn’t been asked to do anything impossible as was usual in these other world scenarios . They seemed to be kind people, seeing as that man had picked up and played with a stranger like Maki . She did not know what the future held, but she decided to just sleep for now .
It did not take long for there to be two sleeping people in the bed . The crowd who had gathered outside of the room, ears pressed against the door, sighed in relief .
“Well then . Let us return to my office . Sera, you will come as well . ”
“Yes . ”
The king said to one of the handmaids . Two guards then moved to stand by the door . Then they went back to the office . In the office, waited the elf and beastman . Both were only half dry and had serious expressions . Aside from them, the chancellor, prince, king, dwarf and the handmaid called Sera were in the room . Then the king opened his mouth .
“Well, as they both had bangs, I could not tell which was the Saintess . Who of the two had the mark? Sera . ”
“Oh . ”
Sera hesitated .
“What is it?”
“What is it?”
“Um, they both had the mark . ”
Both the prince and the chancellor, who had not been to the temple, shouted in surprise .
“Good lord! Two Saintesses this time!”
“What does it mean? It has no precedence . ”
The king furrowed his eyebrows .
“Not only that, but this time it took six months for one to arrive . These are strange times . Chancellor, had there been any divine revelations?”
“I have heard of no such reports . ”
“Then that means there are two of them . Or double the purification ability . Or maybe each has half of the power . In any case, thanks to the previous Saintess living so modestly, we have plenty of funds to accommodate two . As there are two this time, their responsibilities in each land might also increase . Well, we will send them out within reason . It should not be a problem . That is all . ”
“May we not have them start tomorrow?”
“We will follow the Saintess manual . They will likely consider it for a month, at worst for half a year before accepting . The thing is to allow them to live quietly and peacefully so they do not go mad at first . ”
Here the hard-faced Aeris added .
“Then perhaps it was a good thing that there are two of them . They do seem to be acquaintances . ”
“She was not afraid of beastfolk . ”
Zynis said . Aeris smirked and cupped his chin with his hand .
“Yes, now that I think of it . You may finally have a Saintess willing to visit your kingdom . She even appeared to enjoy some height . I dare say she may be able to ride the airships . Perhaps we can send one to the beast kingdom and one to the elf lands . ”
“Yes, now that I think of it . You may finally have a Saintess willing to visit your kingdom . She even appeared to enjoy some height . I dare say she may be able to ride the airships . Perhaps we can send one to the beast kingdom and one to the elf lands . ”
“You are getting ahead of yourself Aeris . Really, three-hundred-years-old and you still have not calmed down…”
“But, Arthur . ”
“Women of other countries tend to prefer quietness . You must avoid giving them any pressure . ”
“Ugh, fine . ”
“However…”
The dwarf mumbled .
“What is it? Grudo . ”
“Would such a quiet woman drink to the point of vomiting?”
“Indeed . ”
“Had you noticed that, Arthur?”
The king furrowed his brows again . Zynis and Aeris frowned . That had been quite a shocking experience for them .
“Well, they were summoned with the weight of the world on their shoulders . It would make anyone sick . ”
“That will be the official story then . In any case, I’ve become tired of this boring palace life . Things are starting to get interesting . ”
Said the king and Grudo .
“Tomorrow . We will see how they are doing, and talk if they are able . ”
And so it was decided . As everyone left the room, the prince approached Aeris .
“Tomorrow . We will see how they are doing, and talk if they are able . ”
And so it was decided . As everyone left the room, the prince approached Aeris .
“Um, Aeris . What did you think of them?”
“That is a difficult question . When I first saw them, they were curled up on the floor . And when I helped one of them who was about to fall, I only saw the back of her head . Just as I thought she had looked towards me, she discharged, you know . I only saw that she was short and had black hair . ”
“That seems to be a feature of the other country . I expected that . I want to know what else was different . ”
“She stank of liquor . ”
“So she must be an adult then . I wonder if I we will be able to get along . ”
“Prince, Saintesses do not bear children . It is out of the question for them to marry into the royal family . And it is still too early for you . You are only eighteen . ”
Aeirs said with finality .
“Well, I am still an adult . And it is not as if there were any divine message about them not bearing children . Just because it has been so until now, it does not mean that these Saintesses are the same . ”
“Well, you can hold whatever dreams you want . Zynis, you look very happy . ”
“Aye . I became the first beastman to touch a Saintess in many years . ”
“It is almost surprising that the Saintesses of old did not fear beastfolk, now . I am not sure how I feel about them yet . But I doubt I shall be bored at least . ”
“That is true . ”
They left the room, along with the prince who was still annoyed at being treated like a child . They would get a good look at their faces tomorrow . And then Aeris noticed it, the air in the palace had become perfectly clear .
