Chapter 974 - White God Festival ?
It was finally the day of the White God Festival, the first festival hosted by the God Realm, and our group that would be attending the festival were heading to the God Realm as planned.
We can basically teleport to the God Realm from the gates near the temple, but the temple gates are small and considering the number of people visiting the God Realm today, it’s highly likely that it will be very crowded.
Thus, they have adjusted it so that you can teleport to the God Realm from all the gates today only.
[Even so, it would still be pretty crowded, wouldn’t it? They would have something like a waiting list, right?]
[No, I think we’ll be fine…… Miyama-sama is with us after all.]
Hearing Luna-san’s response to Hina-chan’s murmur, everyone else nodded in agreement.
[Indeed, they probably won’t make Kaito-san line up…… but Kaito-san, have you heard anything regarding this?]
[Unnn? Ahh, I haven’t been told to go anywhere in particular, so should we just head to the nearest gate? We could also use my Teleportation Magic Tool…… but the Teleportation point I had registered was in the upper-level.]
Even though Aoi-chan asked that, all I heard was that I’ll be spending time with Shiro-san in the Sanctuary after 6 pm, and that someone will be my guide once I reach the middle-level.
I haven’t received any other specific instructions.
[Let’s head for the gate! Putting aside Kaito-san, as expected, I don’t think it’s a good idea to thoughtlessly step into the upper-level……]
After Lilia-san flusteredly said this, we headed for the gate closest to our home as we originally planned.
Incidentally, I told Lilia-san that God of Sky will arrive to guide us in the middle-level. Although she had this indescribable expression on her face…… It seemed like she had anticipated the possibility of someone guiding us, so she didn’t faint.
Well, she did mutter “It’s usually not so easy to meet a High-ranking God…… but I guess it’s already too late for that”.
After a short ride in the two carriages that Lilia-san had prepared for us, we arrived at the gate we were heading for…… but as we had expected, there really were quite a lot of people here.
[……Master, I think we’d better get down and walk instead.]
[Unnn. Lilia-san’s carriage has also stopped, so she’d probably get off and walk, so let’s get off too.]
Nodding to Anima, who had judged that it would be difficult for our carriage to advance with all the people around, I called out to the three other people riding within our carriage, Eta, Theta and Caraway. After they quickly made their preparations, we descended from our carriage…… but then, for some reason, the scenery switched.
It seems like we were indoors, but in the middle of that large empty space, we met up with someone familiar.
[Mhmm? You’ve finally arrived.]
[Chronois-san? This place is?]
[Ahh, this is the guest room of my temple. I made it so that when Miyama and the others arrived near a gate, you would be automatically teleported here. If you are riding in a carriage, you will be teleported when you get off.]
When she told me this, I looked around and saw Lilia-san and the others in the other carriage, seemingly also teleported here.
How should I say this…… In the end, we still got teleported to the upper level……
As I was thinking about this, Chronois-san approached Lilia-san and handed her a small booklet.
[Lilia, representing everyone here, I give you this. Here’s a guide to the festival. This is the latest version and it’s slightly different from the one I gave you beforehand, so take a look at it when you go around. I’ll give you a copy for everyone.]
[T- Thank you very much. Ummm, Chronois-sama…… What should we do after this?]
[If you go out of my temple, you will be teleported to the entrance of the lower level venue. If anything happens, call out to a nearby God. All of them firmly remembered Miyama and your group’s faces, so they’ll quickly come to your aid.]
[……I- I see.]
Hearing that all the Gods remember not only my face, but even Lilia-san and the others’, Lilia-san lightly held her stomach and nodded.
[……Aoi-senpai, as expected of Kaito-senpai. It’s the VIP treatment there. He’s getting a super VIP treatment.]
[Rather, I think they’re still holding back. Considering that he’s Shallow Vernal-sama’s lover, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was getting treatment even more absurd than this, but knowing that Kaito-san would feel adverse from that, they’re probably holding themselves from doing that.]
I certainly am prepared for some of the Gods to follow me wherever I go, but I was really relieved to see that they took that into consideration.
It’s just a hunch, but I felt like Fate-san really did great this time.
[Ahh, I forgot to mention this earlier, but your group is free to enter the upper level. If you want to take a break, you can come to the upper level and rest. The others have also known about this.]
[I- I understand. Thank you…… for your concern.]
[I understand how you feel, but don’t worry, Lilia. I’ve already made sure that the special treatment would be kept to a certain level, so you don’t have to worry about situations beyond your imagination. If something happens, I’ll follow up on it, so don’t be afraid and have fun.]
[C- Chronois-sama……]
As expected, it seems that Chronois-san is well aware of Lilia-san’s hardships and promised to follow up on her in case something happens.
Hearing Chronois-san’s words, a relieved expression appears on Lilia-san’s face…… but doesn’t it feel like I’m being perceived as some sort of trouble maker? I’m being discredited here.
It’s just…… Unfortunately, I don’t have any factors that could prove them wrong, so I could only accept it……
