My Pet Is a Holy Maiden Chapter 86.2

Chapter 86 part 2

To be exact, Jolt’s father has the same hair and eyes, and his grandfather Barride already has white hair, but his eyes are the same color as his son and grandchildren.

Only Freena, who married in from another family, has different coloured pale blond hair and light green eyes.

While observing Jolt’s family, Tatsumi cringes every time has is called by that unfamiliar name.

I’m too embarra.s.sed every time I hear it, and I feel like asking them to stop.

But it didn’t work.

Because the name “Sky Soarer”, used by Jolt’s family, is the t.i.tle officially conferred to Tatsumi by the king Barride.

Like Calcedonia’s “Holy Maiden” and Morganeich’s “Free knight”, a person can have an extra name.

There are three ways to get this second name.

The first one is that it became a habit without anyone realizing.

Warriors reputation goes by from mouth to ear, and sometimes they get given a nickname. Calcedonia and Morganeich follow this pattern.

The second is to brand yourself with a name.

Although you may give off a bad image by giving yourself a self proclaimed t.i.tle, beast hunters and mercenaries from this town often give themselves a second name.

This is because if your self proclaimed second name becomes widespread, it becomes great publicity. For example, beast hunters and mercenaries without a fixed employer may use their t.i.tle as a way of selling themselves.

However, there is no guarantee that the second name will become established.

Lastly, a t.i.tle can be given as a reward from rulers such as the king.

What is obtained in this way is officially called a “t.i.tle” instead of “second name”, but it will be virtually the same as a second name.

It may be easier to understand if you think of it as an invisible medal.

It is customary to receive a t.i.tle appropriate for your standing in martial arts, and in the past some were given t.i.tles such as “Dragon Slayer”.

In the case of Tatsumi, it seems like “Flying dragon slayer” is good as he killed a flying dragon, but the t.i.tle bestowed by the king as a gift is “Sky Soarer”.

A t.i.tle derived from the act of killing a flying dragon, also known as “king of the sky”, while flying freely through the sky. Needless to say, it’s the high priest who thought of this.

The t.i.tle is officially granted by the country, so if someone other than Tatsumi uses the t.i.tle “Sky Soarer”, it would be a felony equal to n.o.bility’s misrepresentation.

Is this the clear difference between a t.i.tle and a nickname?

“That reminds me, Tatsumi’s position went up in the temple too, right?

After enjoying a cup of tea and some sweets, Jolt told me as he remembered.

Now both Tatsumi and Calcedonia wear priests clothing with holy crests that show the priest’s rank.

As Jolt has said, Tatsumi’s rank in the temple changed from junior priest to priest, skipping one sacrament. Now, even considering ranks in the temple, Tatsumi is lined up with Calcedonia.

“Yes, my husband received the rank of a priest in recognition of the achievement of defeating the flying dragon!”

Calcedonia answers happily on the behalf of Tatsumi.

Seeing her this cheerful, the royalty of this country is amazed.

In particular, the crown prince and his wife who only knew Calcedonia before she reunited with Tatsumi seem to be unable to hide their surprise.

“Well… I’m really happy for you, Calce. I heard from Jolt… Yeah, you’re much nicer than before. It looks like you met a good person.”

“Yes!”

“Ah, mum, about that, if you are shy with Calce, you won’t be able to keep up.”

Jolt advises his mother with an amazed face. Apparently, he seems to have been through it in the past.

“Oh, I want to listen! The beginning of the relations.h.i.+p between Calce and “Sky Soarer”! Would you please tell me?”

“No, don’t say anything bad, stop it, Rieve. Absolutely, it’s too sweet and will give me heartburn.”

“Isn’t that good? My brother doesn’t know!”

“I don’t know…”

Jolt sighs deeply at his sister who is looking at Tatsumi and Calcedonia with s.h.i.+ning eyes.

Two parrows and a decent amount of money were given by the kingdom as rewards for defeating the flying dragon, and the t.i.tle of “Sky Soarer”.

The crisis almost brought ruin to the capital city. The destruction of the capital city is equivalent to the destruction of the kingdom. For the fact that it was saved, in reality, the reward is not balanced.

Originally, he was given a knighthood and a territory, as per usual.

Nonetheless, if he gets a knighthood or territory, Tatsumi would feel embarra.s.sed.

Fortunately, Tatsumi is a priest. Since it is a position isolated from the secular world, there is almost no problem if you refuse the rewards presented by the kingdom.

As a result of a prior meeting between the king and Giuseppe, it was decided that Tatsumi would receive parrows, money, and a t.i.tle.

However, I would have preferred not having the last one.

In addition, Tatsumi has recognized as an official exorcist in the Savaiv temple thanks to this achievement and will be given missions to defeat by the temple in the future.

“I am also interested in the beginning of your relations.h.i.+p, but I still want to hear more about your battle with the flying dragon. Can you talk about it, “Sky Soarer”?”

“Yeah, I want to hear about it! I saw Tatsumi fighting from the royal palace, but it was far away. I want to hear of it from Tatsumi who was part of it, and that’s why I asked you to come to my house today. Now, Tatsumi, talk to me!”

Jolt is full of antic.i.p.ation to hear about it, and Argento, though not as excited as his son, is eager to hear about it too.

If you look closely, Barride can’t hide his excitement.

After all, how many men like adventures? But aren’t these royal men too friendly?

I couldn’t make any judgments, so I started speaking slowly and shyly about the battle with the flying dragon that I experienced.

The person who has the most ecstatic expression is my wife who should have been part of the battle.
