Chapter 1304 - Founding Festival ⑥
Chapter 1304 - Founding Festival ⑥
After Amel-san’s arrival, customers began arriving sporadically, and the event was moderately enjoyable as originally planned.
Baby castellas are basically standard items in this world, and there are probably plenty of other baby castella stalls at this festival, so we didn’t have a large number of customers.
However, the customers who ate our baby castellas at the storefront gave us very positive feedback, and those who ate them there almost always bought some more.
While the customers were away, I spent my time in harmony with Tre-san and the twins, chatting with them and eating the street food that Tre-san had bought, when I suddenly felt the presence of someone I knew.
Turning toward the presence I felt through my Sympathy Magic, I saw Agni-san walking toward our direction with her hair swinging like a scorpion’s tail.
[Miyama-sama, it’s been a while. Tre-dono, I’ve come as I promised.]
[Ahh, it’s Agni~~ Yahho~~]
[Hello, Agni-san.]
After bowing politely to me in front of the store, Agni-san spoke to Tre-san with a wry smile on her face. Come to think of it, Tre-san mentioned how they were friends, so I guess the two of them were actually quite close.
No, well, it feels like Tre-san gets along with everyone considerably well……
[I’ve actually been asked to buy for Megiddo-sama as well…… I know it’s a lot of work, but I’d like to have 20 bags.]
[It’s alright~~ There are also lots of other customers who have ordered as much, so we made sure to cook plenty in advance. I mean, is 20 bags even enough for Megiddo-sama’s size?]
[No, as expected, he would eat them while in Humanized form…… No, he originally told me to order at least 1000 bags, but when Kuromueina-sama said “Even though I was only able to ask for 100 bags, there’s no way Megiddo would order more than me, right? Or perhaps, you’re doing that to trouble Kaito-kun?”, he changed it to 20 bags.]
Agni-san’s explanation was spoken calmly…… I think Kuro may have said that while emitting a very intimidating tone.
I mean, Kuro had said she wanted to buy 10,000 bags before she was pulled away and had her request rejected by Alice……
[Speaking of which, Agni-san. How is the ceremony going?]
[This year is considerably more lively than usual. There are indeed all of the Six Kings participating in this ceremony, but there’s also the Chief of the Wingeds Amel-dono, who happened to be in the neighborhood and joined in the middle of the ceremony, so there are quite a few famous people that gathered.]
Ahh, Amel-san headed toward the ceremony after coming here…… Well, considering her position, it certainly wouldn’t be surprising that she participated.
[I mean, it’s possible to attend the ceremony midway?]
[Yes, it would be a different case for the party that will later take place in the royal castle, but the ceremony itself has a lot of space, so there’s no problem to join the ceremony midway. As expected, if the venue ends up having too many people, they will probably start refusing people……]
[Heehhh~~ I have never attended one of those before, so I didn’t know that. By the way, Agni. Have you spotted other unusual participants?]
As I was conversing with Agni-san while preparing her bags of baby castellas, Tre-san also got interested in the ceremony participants and asked.
[All the Six Kings being in attendance is unusual, but when it comes to people I’m acquainted with, I might have seen Frea-dono there as well. Meanwhile, Death King-sama was accompanied by an unknown strong being. She has considerable magic power…… but as for the others, there’s the God of Fertility. It was unusual seeing a God from a temple in another country coming…… but I think that’s about it.]
[Fumu, I see…… As for the Six Kings, I think their aim would be Kaito…… This stall we had set up. They won’t come here all at once, right?]
[Ahh, that’s something we ourselves obviously understand, but No Face-sama is managing the order of their visit. It would be troubling if everyone visits at the same time…… That’s why I came at this time, a little after the opening of your stall.]
Alice…… You’re seriously too excellent. As I had such thoughts in mind, I looked at the cat costume standing in front of the stall holding a sign, and she looked back at me and gave me a thumbs up.
Casually expressing her thoughtfulness behind the scenes, this really is an amazing aspect of Alice, and I’m sincerely grateful for her help.
[In any case, the order has been decided so that after I return, Death King-sama’s subordinate will be on their way here. Even so, seriously, I wonder who that woman is…… She seems to be a Spirit, but how could I not know of a Spirit with that much power……]
[Ahh, that would be Spica-san, and it seems she’s the Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flower. She had never manifested in a Spirit Body before, so that’s why even Lillywood-san didn’t know about her.]
[Oh my, so that’s how it is. As expected of Miyama-sama, you’re a very knowledgeable person.]
[No, I only heard about this from Isis-san…… Ah, here are your 20 bags.]
[Thank you very much.]
It seems that Spica-san and Eul would be coming after Agni-san. It’s nice to know in advance.
Considering the people they told me would be coming beforehand, after Spica-san and Eul…… I guess it would be Magnawell-san? I’m not sure if she would be acting as Lillywood-san’s proxy, but I had also talked to Camellia-san about our stall and she told me she would come to buy some.
As for the people whose actions I wouldn’t know about, there are Amaterasu-san and Mana-san…… Well, for the time being, let’s just look forward to my first meeting with Spica-san.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Alice is d*mn excellent. Also, I knew the real concern would be that dangerous God…… Well then, I wonder when she’ll show up?]
