Chapter 64 One month since the great adventure
After Saint Isha solved the demon problem on the borderlands of Zalug Drashade at the request of the Margrave, a month had passed since the end of her grand adventure with her companions.
In the imperial capital of Calamiera, which serves as her base, a grand celebration was held to report the successful completion of the mission.
Even nobles from other countries were invited to this celebration, making it a grand event that solidified the existence of the religious state known as the Church Nation.
Moreover, the invitees included not only the powerful but also renowned martial artists, knights, court mages, and individuals from various backgrounds who gathered for information exchange.
“Indeed, it’s magnificent! Who would have thought that our esteemed Saint of the Church Nation defeated the resurrected high-ranking vampire in that dungeon and even repelled the three Demon Generals, who are superior beings! This is a remarkable achievement!”
As one of the noble figures of the Church Nation raised their voice before His Holiness the Pope…
“What are you saying! The great feat accomplished by our revered Saint cannot be described with such trivial words as ‘remarkable achievement’! This is an unprecedented miracle, surpassing even the trump card of humanity, the hero! I, too, am a martial artist skilled enough to be called to this gathering, and I understand. The high-ranking demons are formidable opponents, capable of effortlessly crushing even the mightiest warriors with a flick of their wrist…!”
So spoke a martial artist from another country beside them, and those around them responded with further applause.
The extraordinary feat achieved by this group of Saint and her companions, consisting of the subjugation of high-ranking demons and the defeat of the three Demon Generals, had already become an unparalleled legend in the surrounding regions.
However, there was one person who had to interject.
“No, this is by no means a feat accomplished by me alone. It was achieved with the help of Sword Saint Ein Kruger, now the foremost knight of the Church Nation, and His Highness Ars, the son of our ally, Lord Kakyu. But above all, it was made possible by a certain kind-hearted… Yes, truly, a very, very kind, loving adversary.”
So spoke the Saint herself.
Those who heard her clear yet resonant voice in the venue couldn’t help but hold their breath.
The words of a lone girl began to permeate the atmosphere, and all gathered at the celebration, from the seasoned warriors to the influential nobles, found themselves listening intently.
“That adversary said… she loves us. That adversary showed us her resolve. And until the very end of that great adventure, she, Hades Lucifer, was an advocate for humanity who walked alongside us.”
Adversary.
Many gathered here may not understand the significance of that word.
However, the Saint, who understood its meaning better than anyone else, acknowledged, clashed with, and ultimately accepted the absence of the one who was not present in this moment.
“I declare. Someday, surely, this Saint Isha Grace de Calamiera, who possesses a love stronger and gentler than anyone else, will make a nation where she can come to play with open arms… No, a nation where she can come to see me or Knight Ein. That, I believe, is what it truly means to accomplish a great feat.”
With the Saint’s declaration of hope, the venue erupted.
In time, people would speak of this moment.
They would say that this was the moment of change in the Chruch Nation, a turning point in history.
For now, the young Saint, Isha Grace de Calamiera, who did not yet know the vastness of this world, had taken her first step.

“Yes, ahh…”
“A-Ahh… Th-this is delicious, hehe… Yeah… I-I love it…”
“Yeah, I love this snack too. I’m glad you like it.”
Gooaaaahhh!
This couple is way too sweet!
When will Hades develop immunity to Ars’s ‘Ahh’?!
Seriously, you’ve been melting your brains for a month straight!
I’m about to spew sugar just from watching!
And Ars, that doesn’t mean she loves the snack!
She’s saying she loves you, you demon princess!
…Oops, got a bit heated there, my apologies.
Better late than never, I’m Kakyu, honorary chairman of the Ars Observation Squad.
Currently, I’m here in the capital of the Church Nation with Elsa, giving our kids a well-deserved break for solving the Margrave’s issues all by themselves.
“Heh… They’re always so sweet, aren’t they? Just officially start dating already, what’s with this distance? I don’t get it.”
“Do you think so? In terms of being clueless, husband is quite something too, isn’t he? Ars seems to have inherited that from you.”
N-No way!
Th-That can’t be true, Elsa-mama.
Me, clueless? As someone with Devil Eyes and Devil Ears, there’s no way I’m clueless. Th-That’s impossible, right?
Right?
Somebody say it’s impossible.
“Trying to look all helpless and huggable won’t work on me. Do you know how many years it took for me to snag husband?”
“Huh, uh? Umm… Five years?”
“No, not ‘uh’ or ‘umm.’ Five years. Have a little self-awareness, clueless one. Here, ‘Ahh.'”
“Ahh.”
No, not ‘Ahh’!
W-Wait, is that true?
Elsa-mama spent five years trying to ensnare me!?
Since when, when did she start targeting me?
I don’t get it at all…
“When did it start?”
“Hehe. That’s a secret. I intend to take that answer to the grave, so I suggest you find the right answer for yourself.”
“I see…”
I don’t get it.
I don’t get it, but I do.
So basically, Elsa-mama and I are just as sweet as the idiot couple in front of us.
“Sorry, Gaius!
I’m praying for your spring to come too, buddy!”
“…No, it’s fine. Master and Lady Elsa’s lovey-dovey stuff isn’t anything new. I’m used to it.”
“I’m really sorry.”
I’m really sorry.
I said it twice because it’s important.
But yeah, it’s about time Gaius found someone suitable. It’s not like I can force anything, but at least I should provide him with such opportunities.
It’s like welfare benefits for someone who’s served us for years. No matter how great Gaius is, if he can’t find a partner after accompanying us for so long, it’s a serious issue in a way.
“What should we do…”
“Nah, nah, it’s really okay, Master. You’re worrying too much. I’ll manage just fine on my own. Remember, back in my adventurer days, I was an S-ranker, and they used to cheer for me like crazy?”
Hmm, that’s true.
Gaius was always handsome, and he doesn’t need to be babysat like that.
Alright, in that case…
“Well then, let’s take a little break. I’ll lend you Fire Dragon Ballus, which you’ll use for traveling to various places. Take some time off for a while.”
“Yeah, I appreciate it. I just saw Ars and the kids grow up not too long ago. I’ll spend some time on what they call a summer vacation, just like those brats.”
“Yeah, that sounds good.”
Well, knowing Gaius, he’ll probably come back raising his arms, saying something like, “I didn’t find a partner, but I encountered plenty of formidable monsters!” But that’s just his personality. It’s not my place to say anything.
“Now that the kids and the rest of the team are on break, how about we watch some family videos we recorded, Elsa?”
“Yes, let’s do that, dear.”
And so, discreetly returning to our base, we spent the rest of the day holding hands, cuddling close, and reliving our son’s grand adventures through the family album.
