Chapter 74
"Should I move it to your room, Master?"
The children's expressions didn't change at all. These guys, how strong are they? I couldn't even feel jealous because they were in a different dimension.
"Sure. I appreciate it."
I smiled bitterly and watched the children disappear into the space. The children who vanished with the portal came back soon.
"We moved it to your room, Master!"
"Good job. Alphi, Chessy, Sasha. Thank you."
I stroked the children's hair and took out another portal from my inventory.
"Oh, there was one more? Where should I move this one?"
"No, you don't have to move this one. By the way, wasn't the portal heavy?"
"Oh, no! We're fine. But it would be hard for humans to move it."
I see. It was possible because the children were strong. I was glad and touched the portal.
Only those who were allowed by the owner could use it, so I thought I would designate the authorized ones first. There was no way to specify it in the portal information, so I touched the portal. Then a system window popped up.
[Please specify who can use the moving portal.]
Is this it? There was no other message, so maybe it read my 'thoughts'. I wondered and thought of the names.
'Alphius, Chester, Sasha, Zain, Troy.'
I excluded myself because I could use it anyway. Then another message appeared.
[Moving portal user settings are complete.]
Oh, it seems to have worked.
Shall I try it out? I walked straight to the portal. As I entered the place where the blue-black hole was swaying, a familiar space appeared.
It was the master's room in the temple of Rovel.
"Wow, how long has it been?"
I looked around the master's room that I hadn't seen in a long time, and turned around to look out the window. The scenery of the temple outside came into view.
The believers walking in the garden and the children running around with smiles.
"Wow! This is amazing!"
"Oh, it's like a space!"
The children who followed me were amazed and passed through the portal several times.
Cute things.
I looked at the children with a smile and went back to Bahano.
Then I remembered something I had forgotten.
"Kids. Do you want to follow me?"
"Yes!"
I left the bedroom with the children.
"Huh? Master. You were with the kids."
"Mas, Master? Who are these kids?"
Then I ran into Zain and Troy in the hallway, who seemed to be looking for me.
"Perfect timing, Troy."
I was going to introduce Troy to the children anyway.
"This is Troy, who recently became our believer. He's helping me by my side."
"Oh, I see! Nice to meet you."
"Ni, nice to meet you."
Alpius and Chester greeted Troy. Sasha just nodded her head.
"And Troy, these are Alphius, Chester, and Sasha in order. Alpius is the high priest of Kyros, Chester is a knight, and Sasha is a priestess and an artist."
"Oh, I see. Nice to meet you. I'm Troy Mont."
Troy greeted the children politely. He didn't seem to have any prejudice against the children who were in high positions, judging by his eyes.
"Zain, Troy. Both of you follow me."
I took the two men into the room. And when I pointed to the portal and explained, they were shocked.
"My goodness... Really. How do you always surprise people, Master?"
"Master, Master is like a magician."
The two men were also amazed and went back and forth between Rovel and Bahano through the portal.
The children followed them, and I laughed for a while.
The morning dawned in Rovel. Max thought that day would be no different than usual.
Until he looked in the mirror.
"Huh?"
His face was the same as usual, but his skin felt unusually smooth. The blemishes were gone, of course, and the pores were not visible.
"...It's true."
His skin had improved a lot. Even though he didn't make any effort.
He had been stressed lately and didn't sleep well.
Max left the bedroom just in case. And he ran to his mother, Laura.
"Mom!"
He met Laura, who was coming to wake him up, and Max rushed to her. And Max was surprised.
Laura's skin had also improved noticeably compared to before. She looked much younger than her age, with no freckles or blemishes.
"Oh my!"
"What's wrong, Max?"
When Max was surprised. His father, Bill, came up with a face that had just woken up from sleep. Max was surprised again. His father's gray hair was gone.
"How can this be..."
Max opened his mouth wide and looked at his parents who looked younger.
It was the moment when the believers of Kyros realized the massive buff that they didn't know, 'The Follower of Beauty'.
The day after I installed the portal in the bedroom.
We received a breakfast invitation from Arhen. The restaurant in the palace was beautifully set with simple foods that were good to eat in the morning.
'I guess we need a cook in the temple too.'
Most of the time, we cooked ourselves or sometimes the children did. But now that the number of temples increased, everyone would be busy.
'So it would be better to have a cook who cooks for us.'
I had to use the lottery ticket before the Bahano temple was completed.
'And I have to go to Aldone to install the portal and take care of the temple.'
It was hard to muster up the courage to go to Aldone, as I had to ride a carriage for a few days.
The children could only come to where I was, so I couldn't send them to Aldone. So I had to visit Aldone myself soon.
"Today, the construction of the temple will begin."
Arhen said as she spread apple jam on her bread.
"Already? That's fast."
"The people and I want the temple to be completed as soon as possible. Besides, the reconstruction of the capital is almost done."
We had acted quickly during the monsterization crisis, so the damage to the capital was not that severe. Not only the lives, but also the buildings.
The most damaged one was the fruit shop building in the chapel, but still.
"Also, when the news of the Kyros temple spread, the workers volunteered to help. They said the construction would be over soon."
"I see. I'm sorry and grateful."
"You don't need to feel that way. I and the people will do anything for Kyros."
I felt a warmth in my heart.
As I smiled happily, I saw Troy eating with food all over his mouth. I handed him a handkerchief and looked at Arhen. She added with a smile.
"And I have something prepared for you."
"Yes?"
"How about taking a vacation for two days?"
I widened my eyes at Arhen's sudden suggestion.
"A vacation? Out of the blue?"
"You seem to have not rested well since you came to Bahano."
I thought about it and realized she was right. The journey had been so tight. Even after the monsterization crisis ended, I had been healing people. I did rest a bit in my spare time, though.
"Princess, if it's a vacation, are you paying for it?"
Zain's eyes sparkled. He looked like he couldn't resist a free vacation.
"Zain, if you reveal your greed like that... you'll be in trouble."
Troy said seriously to Zain.
"Trouble?"
"All the hair on your body will fall off."
"...Are you cursing me right now?"
"No. This is the truth."
I ignored the two bickering and listened to Arhen.
"Of course, I will pay for all the expenses."
Vacation, vacation.
"I want to show you the beautiful scenery of Bahano. Haven't you stayed in the capital every day since you met me?"
"Well, yes, but..."
"If you don't have time, I can't help it."
I had never taken a vacation since I came to this world. So I was looking forward to it.
'Next schedule is not decided yet, so two days should be fine...'
---Yes, my first child. This might be a good opportunity to go on a vacation.
'...Hmm. Let's do it.'
It had been quite a while since I came to the world of Woosebeop. It has already been several months now. Maybe I should take a proper break for once.
"I agree."
My acceptance brightened the faces of Arhen, Zain, and Troy.
Kids, are you that happy?
The vacation preparation was done quickly. Actually, we didn't do much. Arhen must have prepared everything in advance, because as soon as we finished our meal, the servants were waiting for us. So Zain packed his personal belongings and we were ready to go.
We got on the carriage with the Royal Seal. I leaned back on the soft seat and felt drowsy. The Royal Carriage was as good as Holden's.
"Money is good indeed."
"I've never seen such a nice carriage."
Zain and Troy seemed to like it, as their faces were more relaxed than usual.
"By the way, where are we going?"
I had heard the servants telling us, but I didn't listen carefully because Kyros was excited about the vacation.
"We're going to a village called 'White', which is two hours away from the capital by carriage. As far as I know, White is a place where winter comes earlier than other places. There must be a lot of snow already."
Zain's information made me excited. Snow. I didn't expect to see snow in this world.
I smiled happily and turned my gaze to the window. As I did, I saw Zain sitting across from me.
He was rummaging through my luggage and took something out. I frowned when I saw what it was.
"Zain, do you have to work even on the carriage to the vacation?"
"Of course. I can't waste the travel time."
Zain started knitting. This guy.
"Zain, there are things more precious than money in the world."
Troy couldn't help but say. Zain shrugged it off.
"Yeah. I guess so. But to me, money is the most precious."
He had the same expression as usual, but I knew very well that he meant it.
He had no choice but to be like that.
---He must have some reason.
'Yes. Everyone has their own circumstances. Me, Zain, Troy.'
The carriage kept running while we were talking. As we passed the capital that was more lively than a few days ago, a small forest road appeared.
I leaned on the window and closed my eyes. Maybe it was because I felt relaxed for the first time in a long time, I felt sleepy.
