Episode 280: Saint

 Many of the people on the coast begin to seriously prostrate themselves towards me, and the gazes of people other than the locals gather on me.

“Wait, please stop!!”

 I try to get them to stop prostrating as soon as possible.

 However, I can’t get them to stop, and the place becomes noisy, but when I bow my head, they finally stop.

 They feel sorry for making the Saint lower his head …

 I told you, I’m not a Saint.

“Saint-sama, would you please join us at our banquet?”

 After I manage to be treated normally, an old man says that to me.

 There is a legend in this area that after thousands of years, a Saint who will divide the seas will appear again, and today I came just as the prophecy predicted.

 This is a harbinger of auspicious events, so people will be gathered in a nearby village for a feast. He wants me to participate in the banquet as well.

 The old man is the village chief.

 Well, I don’t feel bad about being welcomed, and I think it’s okay to participate because they’ve lost the humble attitude that they had before. The next time they prostrate themselves and treat me with humility, I will also prostrate myself.

“I understand. Can we all go?”

“Of course. As long as they are the wives of Saint Fuhito-sama, there will be no problem.”

 The village chief answers my question, but he makes an overwhelming misunderstanding.

 Nanami is my Imouto, and Shia is on hold, so I can’t say that’s a misunderstanding, but Amane and Rei don’t seem to be like that.

 They’re on good terms with my parent, and they’re party members who dive into the dungeon together, when we go shopping I carry their luggage, I listen to their requests and travel while doing research while staying overnight together, it’s a relationship to the extent that we stay together in the same room with a see-through bathroom.

 Yup, yup, no problem.

“No, it’s not like that, is it?”

“I understand. I understand.”

 Recognizing that we have a very healthy relationship, I try to correct the village chief’s misunderstanding, but the village chief nods with an expression like he knows everything.

 He definitely doesn’t understand this.

“I can’t believe I’m Onii-chan’s wife … ♡ ”

“Nn. I’m Fuu-kun’s wife.”

 Nanami puts both hands on her cheeks and twists her body, while Shia makes a heart-beating motion with her ahoge while proudly making a selfish declaration.

 Why does Nanami look like she’s not as dissatisfied as she’d like others to believe?

 I don’t have the slightest desire to see my Imouto as a love interest, do I?

 Also, Shia, we’re not even dating yet, are we?

“I, I’m not Fuhito-kun’s wife, but the pa, party looks like it’s going to be fun, so I don’t mind if we go with such a lie just for today.”

“I, I may not match Satou-kun in terms of age, but I will allow it to look like that for today.”

 Amane and Rei look away in embarrassment, but seem to be planning to act like my wives just for today.

 However, I don’t want to go to a party with such embarrassing feelings. I wish they would just say so.

 Putting aside their individual attitudes, everyone seems enthusiastic about participating in the banquet.

“Understood. If you’re all fine, what about these guys?”

“Yes. These people are brothers who originally lived around here. It’s a family I know, so there’s nothing wrong with participating.”

 I see. The Scorpion Brothers are originally from the local area, so it seems that they can participate.

“”Thank you very much.””

 The Scorpion Brothers bow to the village chief when he gives permission. After that, we are guided to the village chief’s house and have a pleasant chat until the banquet begins.

 After a few hours, it seems that the preparations for the banquet are complete, and we also move out of the house.

“”Uoooooooooooooooooooo!! The Saint has appeareeeeeeeeeeeed!!””

 As soon as I step outside, I see a large number of people, or rather, the number of people in front of me is like when a popular artist performs live.

 I think there are thousands, not just hundreds.

 Where exactly did all these people come from?

“We called out to the neighboring villages, so most of them gathered here.”

 Knowing my feelings or not, the mayor says such things to me.

 No matter how you look at it, you’ve gathered too many people. Will food and supplies be okay.

“Then, at this time, we will hold the second coming festival of the Saint-sama’s second coming. Recently, the world has suffered enormous damage from the dungeon Stampedes, but now that Saint-sama has returned, there is nothing to worry about. Saint-sama-tachi will do something about it. You should live in peace. Here are some words from the Saint-sama. Listen carefully.”

 Unaware of my concerns, the village chief suddenly starts talking about me, introducing me with too high of expectations as a Saint, and urges me to give a greeting.

 All the residents who have gathered look at me.

 Uwaa … This is tough …

 The people’s begging gazes are very heavy.

 But, the village chief’s gaze of anticipation is amazing.

 I can’t let this happen!!

“Everyone, you have done well to gather here. I was introduced as a Saint, but I just punched the sea, so I’m still full of feelings of disbelief. There’s not much I can do, but I would like to do my best as much as I can. Please be assured that we will be able to cooperate with you, especially concerning the threat of monsters. Luck!!”

“Won!!”

“”Uooooooooooooooooo!?””

 I call Luck after greeting them.

 The humans in the village hall scream in surprise at the sudden appearance of Luck.

“This child is my subordinate demon and is named Luck!! This child can create many shadow clones, so if a Stampede occurs, or if there are any monsters left behind, they will eliminate them. If there’s anything else I can help you with, they will follow instructions they are told as long as it’s not unreasonable, I would be happy if you could get along with them. That’s all.”

“”Uooooooooooooooooo!!””

 After I introduce Luck and finish my greetings, the venue is filled with excitement.

 It seems that the threat of monsters is one of the biggest problems for them. When they hear that something can be done about them, they seem to scream in excitement.

“Saint-sama, thank you very much. As I though, my eyes weren’t crazy. You are still a Saint-sama. Everyone!! From here on out, let’s drink, eat, sing, and make a lot of noise!!”

 After the village chief who is next to me bows his head, he shouts at the people again.

 I was desperate, but for some reason he was extremely grateful.

 I wish I can be of some help.

 It’s not that I’m amazing, it’s just that Luck is amazing.

“”Uooooooooooooooooooo!!””

 The banquet begins with a loud cry from the people. We are guided to seats that stand out a lot, and enjoy Egyptian cuisine while being welcomed.

“Saint-sama.” “Saint-sama.” “Saint-sama.” “Saint-sama.” “Saint-sama.” “Saint-sama.” …

 It goes without saying that, unlike with ‘Aniki’, I lost the timing to correct them since I thought it would be bad to deny it because everyone called me ‘Saint’ too much.
