Chapter 1907: Ship Party 27

<Author's Notes>

I was busy celebrating my birthday so I didn't have the time to write, so today's chapter is a short one.

As I was moving around the party venue greeting people I saw, I suddenly spotted a group with an unusual combination. The people I was looking at were a group made up of Shigenobu-san, Hannah-san, Rei-san and Fia-san...... those people making a group is not unusual. I had heard from Shigenobu-san and Sieg-san that Rei-san and Fia-san used to be Shigenobu-san's old traveling companions, so there was no question why they were together.

What was unexpected was Chapel-san, the manager of the Monster Racetrack, being there with them. And since they seemed to be quite friendly with each other, I wonder if they might be acquaintances.

[Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming today.]

[Ahh, Miyama-kun. Thank you for the invitation.]

[Ou, making rounds must be rough, isn't it?]

When I approached them, Rei-san and Shigenobbu-san were the first to respond, and the others greeted me in turn. Of course, Chapel-san was among them.

[Since this is my first time hosting a party, I sent invitations to everyone I know who I could contact...... but this was a combination I hadn't expected. I mean, is Chapel-san acquainted with Shigenobu-san and the others?]

[Wait, Shigenobu-dono...... Please stop with that weird way of speaking. It might make Miyama-dono misunderstand some things...... To briefly explain to Miyama-dono, who is unaware of the circumstances, I was born into a family of traveling merchants. When I was young, I saw a beautiful vase at one of the trading destinations and couldn't forget it, so I joined Shigenobu-dono and the others on their journey to find it.]

[Ahh, I see......]

[It took a considerable amount of time, but I eventually obtained the vase I was looking for. After that, I left the journey and returned to my homeland, the Archlesia Empire. Through various connections there, I was eventually appointed as the manager of the Monster Racetrack.]

This is a very unexpected turn of events. From the way he spoke earlier, I got the feeling that they had not met since he left their journey.

As was the case with Kaori-san, there are a certain number of people who don't have a hummingbird, so contacting each other must have been difficult.

Well, whatever the case may be, I am very happy that they were able to meet again because of this party.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Isn't the period until reappearance longer than that of Seigi-san?]
