Two Saints Wander Off Into A Different World Chapter 7
Chapter 7
It was quite the luxury to have lunch prepared for you in the garden . They would not have been able to ask for it yesterday . However, it seemed that being overly modest here would probably only make them worry . Or so Chiharu thought, and so she had declared that she wanted to go out to the gardens .
The season seemed to be the same as j.a.pan . As they looked at the garden with its beautiful rose-like flowers, a table was set out with some light dishes for them to eat .
“We prepared some refreshing drinks for you, but please call if you prefer some tea instead . ”
So saying, the guards and even Sera moved away to where we couldn’t see them .
Chiharu and Maki sat down in their chairs . The wind was refreshing .
“I wasn’t able to ask about whether we could return . ”
“There was hardly an opportunity to . ”
“Yeah, I was too shocked . ”
Both touched their smooth foreheads at the same time .
“…”
“…”
“Something’s growing again . ”
“I hope it doesn’t fall off this time . Can you imagine accidentally dropping something worth a million?”
A small gem was already taking shape on their foreheads . But wasn’t it supposed to be just once a month?
“I know! What if you covered it with a net, kind of like those hothouse mangoes?”
“Aah, so it will fall off when it is ripe and the net catches it . ”
“Yeah . ”
“But then I’ll look like I’m injured . ”
Chiharu protested . Maki thought about it .
“Oh, I know . That ninja thing . ”
“Ah, a headband?”
“Yeah, you can put a Saintess mark on it . ”
“Saintess mark? …like a third eye?”
“No waaay . ”
“No way . ”
Both of them looked up in despair . Then Chiharu said:
“Realistically, I think we should cover it with a ribbon and tie the bow on the side of our heads . ”
“Ouch . I can’t do that as a 25-year-old . ”
“Well, it’s better than a net or a bandanna . And dropping it too . ”
“I guess so . ”
“So in other words…”
“Huh?”
“He said ‘once a year’ at the end . '”
“Yeah . ”
“That means we’ll die here without ever going back, doesn’t it?”
“…Yeah . ”
The sky was blue, and the wind brought the scent of flowers with it . The food smelled good .
“Let’s eat . ”
“We can’t fight on an empty stomach . ”
“We can’t fight on an empty stomach . ”
“Because you’re a ninja now?”
“We already rejected that option . ”
Their breakfast had consisted of rice b.a.l.l.s, but lunch was centered around bread . The first thing that caught their eyes was the salad . It was shredded carrots and radishes that were marinated and placed into small white bowls . The subtly sweet and sour flavor was a great appetizer . Next was thin slices of what resembled French bread that was covered in blue and yellow pastes . There was also thin slices of ham and fat omelets that were half the size of the palm of your hand . There were also oysters that were cooked in a golden oil and stuffed with meat .
Once they took their first bite, they could hardly stop . Of course, this was not an amount that they could actually finish . However, the food had just the right kind of spices that kept the food delicious even after it cooled down . And they wanted to take at least one bite of everything .
Once they were satisfied, they tasted the drinks that had been prepared .
“It smells like grapefruit . Maybe it’s water with just the peels inside?”
“It’s not sweet, but it’s refreshing . I feel like I drank this before?”
“Last night, before bed . ”
“Ahh…”
Some things were best left forgotten . The sky was so blue today . Maki thought .
“What should we do now?”
“Regardless of how much money we have, or our position as automatic gem production machines, I would still like to have a job . ”
“That’s true . ”
“But if we have clothing, food, and shelter secured for us, we should start with something that we want to do . I think that it’s part of our job to use the money as well . ”
Chiharu said . They didn’t have to start some big initiative just yet, they should try and use the money that had been saved for them .
“I want to go to Rasche’s country!”
“You mean Zynis . ”
“Right . I wonder if they are all like him . Do you think there are cat people too? What about pandas?”
“I doubt there are so many different types . ”
“They also said something about a train . ”
“They also said something about a train . ”
“Oh, that would be fun! I wonder if they sell food inside?”
“I bet they do . It’s an old style after all . There will be tea that’s not in plastic bottle and sandwiches . ”
“Maybe the tea will be in unglazed pottery . ”
“That you can toss out the window when you’re done?”
“Maybe each train station will have their own special foods . ”
“Like lunch boxes . ”
Both of them were now quite carried away with making future plans .
“I wonder what Aeris’ country is like . ”
“He is an elf . They live in forests . ”
“I read somewhere that they mainly eat thin cookies and avoid any meat . ”
“And they like archery . ”
“Why do they need bows if they don’t eat meat?”
“Well, maybe they do eat meat then . ”
“We will have to learn more about this world if we want to travel . ”
“Research first, huh?”
After that, they continued to discuss what they would do, until Sera called to them .
That night, Edwy was making preparations to go to sleep .
“I couldn’t ask them their ages after all, but they are probably close to mine . But they seemed pretty mature, so maybe just a little older . ”
There were paintings of the past Saintess’ in the royal palace . They all had dark hair and eyes and were generally short in height . The prince had seen these painting since he was young and been enraptured . And now there was one before him . Specifically, Chihaaru .
Of course, Maki was splendid as well . However, while Aeris had gotten there first, the way Chiharu had fainted only to come back with the most pragmatic reaction was something he could not forget .
Of course, he had the resolve to protect his people as the next king . But he also wanted to protect Chihaaru… Edwy was already considering changing everything for Chiharu at a moments notice, if she would only ask . Just then…
“Edwy, do you have a moment?”
“Aeris, Zynis . It’s rare for you to come to visit so late . ”
His senior friends had come to take him somewhere .
“Where are we going?”
“Well, you will see . ”
They were headed for the Saintess’ room . There were two guards by the door, along with Sera, the King and even Grudo .
“Father, you’re here too?”
The king gestured for him to be silent . Quiet? But why?
This room was a normal guest room, there was no sitting room inside . In other words, Chihaaru was just behind the one door . Of course, so was Maki .
He tried to quiet the beating of his heart as he slowly walked closer to the others . And then he was startled .
There was a faint crying sound from the other side of the door . He couldn’t understand what was being said, but he could tell that they were taking turns saying something and crying . Edwy looked at Aeris and Zynis . They nodded . They had told him to not be fooled by how cheerful they looked . So that’s what they meant .
They kept watch by the door, praying together until the sounds disappeared from behind the door .
They prayed that the darkness would at least be kind to the two .
