My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

My pet is a holy maiden C87 – Ownership of “Amaryllis” Part 1

Translator: yompyamper

After the battle with the flying dragon, that Tatsumi recounted, what he brought today was put on the table. The royals, including Barride, look at it in an unusual way.

“Well, is this the rumoured “Amaryllis”? Tatsumi, can I touch it?”

“Yes. There’s nothing wrong with touching it, but … it’s not me … I can only use it myself.”

“I heard that from Giuseppe and Bugarank.”

Barride, laughing out, lifts up the gauntlet from the table, with thin shining red gold chains wound around it.

“Hmm… It’s lighter than I thought. As expected.”

“Father, can you hand it to me?”

Looking at the hand reaching out from the side, Barride bunches his brows.

“Can you wait a little, I’m still looking at it.”

“That’s true, but I want to take a close look at the rumored “Amaryllis”. Now, father. Give it to me!”

“Wait a little will you! Didn’t you hear the kings words?”

“Now it’s “family time” right? Don’t you bring your title to “family time” by saying you’re the king or I’m the prince!”

Tatsumi stares blankly at the funny child-parent fight that suddenly began. Calcedonia, sitting next to him, is laughing and seems used to such a scene.

“Ahaha. Did we surprise you?”

Jolt says about his father and grandfather who are still quarreling and won’t hand it over, with cold eyes.

“… I’m surely surprised. Jolt’s family is too ordinary … Oh, no …”

Tatsumi realises that these words could be taken as him saying they are not royal, and hesitates. However, Jolt, his mother, and sister, are smiling without a care in the world.

“Don’t worry about it “Sky Soarer”. We’re just a family, regardless of the official position.”

“Only within family can it be easy to fight like that. Isn’t that right, brother Jolt?”

“… Because this is our base. It’s always like this. Maybe I broke the royal image in Tatsumi’s heart?”

Then I’m sorry, Jolt smiles.

If you think about it, Jolt was quite at ease from the first meeting, probably because he grew up surrounded by such a family.

In Japan, there is a saying “children are the reflection of their parents”, and I’m sure it’s completely the same here.

“By the way, did it become officially Tatsumi’s property?”

While looking at “Amaryllis” that the king and prince are competing over, Jolt asks Tatsumi.

“Yeah, I’m able to use it freely in the future. The supreme priest of the sun god temple told me.”

Bugarank, the sun god priest, who was previously devoted to “Amaryllis”, recognized Tatsumi as the official owner of “Amaryllis”, in accordance to the will of the former owner, “The Great Mage”, Tiate Zamui.

If it is something you can’t use, give it to someone who can use it. If there is no person who can use it, you can leave it at any temple until a person who can use it appears.

That is the will of “The Great Mage”, and Bugarank decided to follow this will.

“However, when I eventually die, if there is nobody else who can use “Amaryllis”, then it shall return to the sun god temple again, as did the previous generation.”

Bugarank told Tatsumi this previously.

“I see, so that means they are actually only lending it, right?”

“That’s correct. I think it’s better to leave it in the care of the temple of the sun god instead of keeping something we can’t use.”

“Now, isn’t it okay for it to stay in the savaiv temple? Tatsumi is a sacred priest there.”

“I thought about that for a while… It was originally in the care of the temple the sun god, so it would be better to put it back there.”

“I see. If Tatsumi and Giuseppe think this way, I won’t interfere.”

Jolt’s eyes are wide open in amazement as he says this.

His mother Freena and his sister, Livern stare blankly with the same expression at one point in the room.

In their line of sight, the battle for “Amaryllis” between the king and the prince is still unfolding.
