Chapter 1633: Omens Before the Festival

Chapter 1633: Omens Before the Festival

Regarding Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival, the day of the event drew closer without anything particularly significant happening.

Fors-san had also been delivered, and Laguna-san made sure she would stay at the castle...... or rather, she would let her stay until the day of the event, so there’s no need to worry about Fors-san anymore.

It seemed like she had called several Court Mages to have a magic formation applied to Fors-san’s room, preventing her from coming out on her own...... but well, that certainly sounds like the right idea.

[Well, even so, despite all the hustle and bustle surrounding Symphonia Kingdom and Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festivals, it doesn’t seem like Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival will be like that, so I’m relieved.]

[......Hmmm. I wonder why? This is just a hunch of mine, but with Kaito-kun looking at it that optimistically, I kinda have a feeling that something might happen......]

[Can you not say something worrying like that......]

After I muttered those words, Kuro, who was eating baby castellas, delivered rather ominous words. Well, I can’t say I don’t understand what she’s feeling...... I mean, I actually have this feeling that things might be going a bit too smoothly, which is why I ended up saying those lines earlier.

[......Speaking of which, Kuro, how would the Six Kings’ attendance be like at Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival?]

[Ahh, Megiddo, who likes Hydra, and Lillywood, who was present in both Symphonia’s and Archlesia’s, will attend.]

[Fumu. In the end, Lillywood-san will have a perfect attendance huh.]

[Kaito-kun is also attending all three yourself.]

[Come to think of it, that’s right.]

With Megiddo-san and Lillywood-san in attendance, along with the First Hero’s Party Member Fors-san, and along with that, an exhibition of a message from Neun-san...... or rather, from the First Hero, in terms of relevance and interest, it doesn’t lag behind the other two countries at all.

It gives the impression that Symphonia Kingdom has deep connections with the Six Kings, Archlesia Empire with the Gods, and Hydra Kingdom with the First Hero.

Even so, well, the more I hear about it, the more it seems like nothing is going to happen, and it feels stable. Well, not having anything happen is probably the best scenario...... but well, the fact that there are no omens of anything happening at all up to this point in itself also makes me anxious.

[Well, even if something does happen, I don’t think it’s likely to escalate to a level surpassing those that occurred in Symphonia or Archlesia anytime soon.]

[I guess you’re right. As is the case with me and the other Six Kings, it’s not likely that more attendees would join at this point.]

[Indeed, the attendees are already decided, and as long as Shiro-san doesn’t unexpectedly show up, everything should be fine. Besides, she has already done that once back in the Archlesia Empire......]

[The Supreme Gods are also unlikely to attend without Shiro-san’s instructions, so it really seems like nothing unexpected is going to happen...... Ahh~~ But what about Earth God?]

[Eden-san? Hmmm, no, I was actually worried about this myself and confirmed this with her, but it seems like this time, it seems like she doesn’t have any intention of attending at all.]

Actually, I was concerned about Eden-san’s arrival, so I personally asked her. She calmly replied that she doesn’t feel like participating this time nor does she intend to suddenly intrude either, and it doesn’t seem like she’s lying.

However, back when I was talking to her, she seemed to be taking glances at something behind my back, something I didn’t see when I turned around, and that was something I’m not quite sure about.

In any case, with the situation like that, it doesn’t seem like something is about to happen...... Right?

While Kaito and Kuro were talking about this, Shallow Vernal was quietly pondering about something in the Sanctuary, God Realm.

(......Back in Symphonia Kingdom, I had received baby castellas from Kaito-san in advance, and back at Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival, I had an agreement with Earth God not to visit the festival myself. However, we didn’t make any sort of promise for Hydra Kingdom...... I suppose it would not be a problem if I went there, right?)

Due to her position, Shallow Vernal hasn’t been able to visit Kaito’s shop in a proper manner during both the Founding Festivals of Symphonia Kingdom and Archlesia Empire. n0veLUsB.c0M

......And this is something she was somewhat dissatisfied with. However, for Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival this year, Kaito had promised to go around with Alice, and she didn’t want to interfere with that.

But even if that were the case, she was thinking about taking some action and was in the process of looking for a good way to do so.

(......I will not interfere with Kaito-san’s date with Alice. However, for me to enjoy something festival-like with Kaito-san...... Fumu......)
