Chapter 93

The next day, I headed with Anna to the Valley of the Flying Dragon and came to the Temple of the Winds.

“A-Allen-san, h-hello. Ah, your important person is also doing well. “

As soon as I landed the Buitor Rev. on the snowy plaza in front of the temple, Jerome-kun jumped out.

“Long time no see! Huh? Where’s Melissa-chan?”

“Ah, um, you know, inside.”

“Then, let’s get in. Come on, Anna.

“Oh, oh.”

Thus, we followed Jerome into the temple.

And when we entered the temple, the inside of the temple was unexpectedly warm, unlike the cold outside.

“Oh, welcome, Allen-san. And your important woman is doing well, is she? That’s great.”

Melissa-chan laid down a large amount of grass in the temple, curled up on it, and turned only her head toward us.

“Yeah, thanks to the two of you. Anna got well, so we came to report and express our gratitude for your kindness.”

“I see, that’s very kind of you.”

“Me too, it was thanks to Melissa-chan and Jerome-kun’s help that I was able to save Anna. Thank you very much.”

“It’s okay. We’ll never forget what you did for us. We were just returning the favour.”

“Yes, that’s right, Allen-san. It’s thanks to you Allen-san.”

“Still, I’m glad. Also, she’s my fiancée, Anastasia. We’re getting married next fall.”

I introduce Anna as such and bring her forward. Then Anna took a firm ladylike bow.

“My name is Anastasia Clynel von Ramslett. I am Allen’s fiancée. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly the last time we met. Melissa-sama, Jerome-sama, I heard that you both helped to rescue me from the empire and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to thank you despite the fact that–“

“It’s long, you know? Um, is it okay with Anna-chan? If Allen-san’s precious woman is saved, that’s all that matters. We didn’t do much.”

“Melissa-san…”

“But, yes. When you are going to destroy the Imperial capital, you should tell us, right? I won’t allow you to sneak off and destroy it, okay?”

“Eh? Eh?”

Jerome-kun also nods his head excitedly.

“Melissa-chan, I don’t have that plan for now anyway. Because I killed the two masterminds. Well, that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven them.”

“Is that so? Well, anyway, I can’t go now.”

“Eh?”

“We’re going to be mom and dad before Allen-san and Anna.”

Melissa-chan said this and moved her curled up body. Then there was a big white egg.

So that’s it. Was Melissa-chan keeping this egg warm for a long time?

“Congratulations, Melissa-chan, Jerome-kun!”

“Congratulations!”

“Fufu, thank you. And, Anna, you don’t have to talk in that strange way, okay? Why don’t you speak normally? Also, you can call us as you like, both me and Jerry.”

“Eh?”

“Isn’t it okay? Melissa-chan says so too.”

“Oh, oh. That’s right. Then Melissa, Jerome, nice to meet you.”

“Fufu. Nice to meet you.”

With that said, Melissa returned to her egg-warming position.

“Hey, hey, can I give you both my blessing? Well, so many things happened, and I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’ve become an Ice Saint.”

Blessing is one of the abilities of the Ice Saint.

However, it is not as powerful as the blessing of that pervert but is said to be a good luck charm, so to speak, as it promotes healthy growth and protects a little against serious illnesses that could bring one to the verge of life or death.

It seems that Anna doesn’t understand this area well, so I’ll investigate it one by one.

“Oh? Is that so? Good for you. But, well, if that’s the case, can I have it for my unborn child? We have the blessing of the wind god, so that’s enough for us. We will face retribution if we ask for too much.”

Melissa responded to Anna’s offer in a lighthearted manner.

“Y-Yeah. I think so too. I’d like to give it to my child.”

“But …”

“Well, if that’s the case, we’ll come back when the baby is born, okay?”

“Oh, oh.”

When I said this, Anna backed down, albeit reluctantly.

“Also, I brought you plenty of beef to thank you. And I bet you’re going through a rough time right now, right?”

I say that and serve them the beef I’ve packed in a large quantity in my magic bag.

“Ah! Thank you! Allen-san is the best!”

Melissa was overjoyed when I told her this and proceeded to eat the beef as if devouring it.

“Oh? Jerry, you don’t want some? If you don’t want it, I’ll eat it all, okay?”

“Oh, is that okay?”

“Allen-san brought this for both of us, you know? How could you not?”

“I-Itadakimasu.”

Jerome-kun, who was told that, shook his tail happily and started eating meat with Melissa-chan.

By the way, I went to thank the pervert while asking her to take care of the 『Staff of Divine Guidance』 afterwards, but she said ‘I see. Well then, I look forward to the birth of your child,’ in a cat-like manner.

Ah, but Anna who heard it turned bright red and was very cute.
