Chapter 1308 - Founding Festival ?
A little after noon, Luna-san, Sieg-san, and Hina-chan arrived as scheduled, and while we were chatting with each other, they took over the shift.
I also remembered to register the coordinates of this area in my Teleportation Magic Tool just in case we need to return.
[With the location of our stall, we’re able to sell baby castellas at a leisurely pace…… How was the ceremony?]
[The ceremony was spectacular. Since all of the Six Kings were participating, it seems that they spent a lot of money this year, and it was more flashy than in the previous years.]
[We only caught a glimpse of it from the audience seats, but the guests of honor were all amazing…… Lili, who was also sitting there, had eyes like a dead fish though.]
From what I’ve heard from Luna-san and Sieg-san, who sent Lilia-san to the venue, it seemed like the situation somehow turned out rough.
H- Hmmm, I wonder how much influence I had in this matter? You wouldn’t be able to say that I was the cause of Lilia-san’s dead fish eyes, right? ……I feel like you could say this happened because of me just as usual.
[Was Lilia-san seated near the Six Kings?]
[Rather, it’s more like she was seated in a position acting as the representative of the Humans.]
[Eh? Is that so?]
I tilted my head slightly at Hina-chan and Aoi-chan’s words, but I immediately thought of the reason why. Lilia-san has interacted with all of the Six Kings, has received the True Blessing of the God of Time and Space, is currently one of the strongest in the Human Realm along with Laguna-san, and is related to Symphonia’s royal family…… Unnn. No matter how you think about it, it’s inevitable that she would become the Human side’s representative.
[……Luna-san, how much of this time do you think is my fault?]
[Let’s see. This time, Miyama-sama just wanted to open an ordinary stall, and you had talked about this with Milady in advance, so it’s not like a big announcement was suddenly made…… Overall, I’d say about “90.5%” your fault?]
[In other words, it’s mostly my fault. Please bring her some baby castellas when you pick her up.]
I knew it. That really would be the case…… No matter how you think about it, I’m the reason why the Six Kings made the decision to participate.
Well, they were originally going to have their subordinates participate as their representative, which is probably why they themselves could easily decide to change their mind, but I was still the motive that brought that change.
Please, I pray that while she’s at the venue, Lilia-san’s stomach remains safe…… I know it may sound like I’m acting like this is another person’s problem, but I hope Chronois-san supports her nicely.
[……F- For the time being, we will go look around the festival.]
[Yes, please leave things here with us and go have fun. If you have time to spare, you might want to go to the ceremony. The initial formal ceremony is over, and now the focus is on entertainment, such as singing and dancing.]
[I see, that sounds like fun. If I have some time, I will do that.]
After responding with words of thanks to Sieg-san, who saw me off with a gentle smile, I moved away from the store with Tre-san and the others, who have also completed handing over their tasks, to enjoy the Founding Festival.
[What should we do first?]
[Hmmm, it’s lunchtime already, so I guess let’s eat something. However, we have been frequently eating while cooking, so let’s get something light.]
[While we’re at it, I’d like to eat something unique to the Founding Festival…… but is there something like that?]
[I don’t know!!!]
What a powerful denial. She was so confident when she said that that I couldn’t help but feel impressed.
As I chuckled at Tre-san’s words spoken with pride, Cento-san thought for a moment before speaking.
[……How about “Symphonia-yaki”?]
[Eh? That sounds like a very typical dish at a festival, but what kind of food is it?]
[If I’m not mistaken, it’s a dish similar to a crepe, with many vegetables and fruits baked and wrapped in an egg batter. It isn’t exactly served only in Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival, but it’s famous as a specialty of the western trading cities. You don’t usually see them being sold in the royal capital though, so I think having that would be a good idea.]
It’s something like a fruit crepe huh? That does sound delicious, so I definitely would like to try it out…… but would we really be able to conveniently find a stall selling that in this crowded festival venue?
[It sounds great and I’d like to try it out…… but will we be able to conveniently find a stall that sells that?]
[In that case, please leave it to me……]
[Cien-san?]
[I’m good at wide-area detection, so I should be able to find such a stall in no time.]
How reliable. That means that if we ask Cien-san, she can find not only Symphonia-yaki, but also other stalls.
……I wonder if she’ll be able to find Elise-san’s stall as well? I would love to go there since she has helped me in many ways but…… Hmmm, no matter how I think about it, I can only see a future where I will be greeted with a blatantly displeased look.
Moreover, even in the end, she didn’t tell me where she was going to open her stall…… so I guess it would be better if I stop trying to search for it.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [There rises a refreshing “coincidental discovery flag”…… This is the power of the Special-Class Flag Architect huh…… ]
