Chapter 1319 - Founding Festival - Noon ⑩

<Author’s Notes>

The manga’s Volume 7 will be released tomorrow, October 25th. Please check the official website in the Activity Report.

After entering the Eastern Street and walking around for a bit, I could feel that the atmosphere of the stalls here was different from that of the Central Area, where there was more food, as the Eastern Street was more lined with stalls related to handicrafts and the like.

It was an area with a unique atmosphere, lined with pottery, woodwork and other such items. According to Cento-san, Symphonia is considerably famous for its Five-Colored Pottery, and I got the impression that this place has a lot of pottery products.

[Is that area famous for its Five-Colored Pottery?]

[I suppose. That area indeed has a lot of Five-Colored Potteries, but that stall over there and a couple of others are from Hydra Kingdom. Some of them are traditional like the Five-Colored Potteries, while some of them are newly created, especially those referred to as Class Blue wares of the Hydra Kingdom.]

[I see…… From your point of view, Cento-san, are there any stalls that catch your eye?]

[As one would expect from a national festival, there’s a lot of good stuff around. I want some small plates…… That stall looked like it would be good.]

The stall that Cento-san indicated had plates of various sizes, all of which were colorful and beautiful. If it had piqued Cento-san’s interest, I wouldn’t have an objection to going there.

As we arrived at the front of the stall, I watched Cento-san looking at the plates with a serious expression on her face from a little distance so as not to disturb the other customers.

[……By the way, can you understand what it is that Cento-san was looking at, Tre-san, Cien-san?]

[No clue. I just think they’re beautiful.]

[I can understand it to some extent…… It seems that the Five-Colored Pottery that Cento mentioned pays particular attention to the vividness and balance of the colors of the pottery. It’s apparently not just about whether the colors are beautiful, but also about the balance with the other shades of colors……]

I see, shades of colors huh…… I guess my thoughts were the same as Tre-san. I think it’s beautiful, but I’m not sure exactly which ones and how are they beautiful.

Having such thoughts in mind, I absentmindedly watched Cento-san as she chose her plates, when I suddenly saw an acquaintance at the edge of my vision.

[Ahh, Tre-san, Cien-san, excuse me. I just saw someone I know, so I’m going to go say hello.]

[Unnn? Alright. Then, we’ll be right here in front of this stall.]

[I understand.]

It seemed like Cento-san would take some time to choose, so I decided to say hello to my acquaintance, and after notifying Tre-san and Cien-san, I started moving.

Even so, meeting her here was quite unexpected…… No, earthenware pottery may not really fit her image, but I suppose woodwork would really fit her.

[……Hello, Camellia-san. What a coincidence, meeting you here.]

[Oya? Kaito-san? Hello…… You really notice me well. It’s not often that someone I know finds me in a place like this……]

Yes, the person who I had noticed was Camellia-san, as she was looking at a stall with wooden cups and other items in it. Turning her head, Camellia-san lightly chuckled before gently smiling.

[However, I’m glad to see you like this. Thank you for your hospitality back at the Harmonic Symphony and the tea party after that.]

[No, it’s my pleasure.]

[……Ahh, we really shouldn’t be chatting around in front of a stall like this. Please wait a bit.]

After telling me this, Camellia-san bought two wooden cups that she had been looking at, and after storing them with Space-Time Magic, she moved with me to a place a short distance away from the stall.

[I had planned to stop by Kaito-san’s stall later, but I didn’t expect to meet you here. Were you here to buy some handicrafts?]

[Ahh, I came here not because of myself, but because Cento-san, who I was touring with, likes ceramics.]

[I see…… Speaking of which, you were running a stall with Tre-san and the twins, weren’t you?]

[Ahh, I see, you obviously would have known Tre-san and the twins. I should have brought them along.]

Camellia-san is also one of the Six Kings’ Executives and has lived quite a long time, so she must have interacted with Tre-san and the twins. Tre-san, in particular, seems to be on good terms with Tir-san, so she may have a lot of interactions with the other Executives.

[I don’t have a lot of interaction with Tre-san and the twins, but I did have the opportunity to meet them often. The ones who have a deep connection with Tre-san and the twins would be Tir-san and Jutia-san.]

[Ahh~~ I can certainly somewhat see how those two were compatible with Tre-san.]

Tir-san and Jutia-san, who are bright and sociable, certainly seemed like they would get along well with Tre-san, and I could imagine the three of them having a lively conversation.

[……Speaking of which, I’m changing the subject, but Eri mentioned how she would like to invite Kaito-san to her “Garden of Myriad Flowers”, so please tell us when you’re free.]

[I understand. Should I tell that directly to Rosemary-san?]

[Yes, she has been saying this for quite some time now, but if I just leave it to Eri, it seems like she won’t bring it up forever……]

[Ahaha, that certainly sounds like Rosemary-san.]

Rosemary-san is a rather reticent person, so I can certainly imagine her finding it difficult to invite me on her own.

After having a pleasant chat with Camellia-san for a while, I went back and met up with Tre-san and the twins again.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Speaking of which, Serious-senpai. Seems like you got executed by Shallow Vernal-sama on the manga Volume 7’s back cover.]

Serious-senpai : [……I hate her.]
