CH 54.2

「Festival for adventurers?」

「Maa, it will be mainly for the adventurers and the security department.」

「Are you going to have us fist fight in front of you?」

「No, I think it’s more of….running, battling, and competing with each other without hurting anyone.」

「That should be a lot of fun.」

「Venting….no, do you think that will cause dissatisfaction among the adventurers?」

「No, of course not. They’ll all be very happy!」

「Then, let’s do it.」

In any case, I’ll have all members of the Schenker family join.

We should have plenty of spectators and competitors.

「Right, we’re going to call it sports meet and not only the adventurers but clerks and salespeople can participate. Let’s do it here the week after next.」

「Understood. Oi! Listen!」

The sheepkin who was demonstrating suddenly stopped and all adventurers around stopped talking at once.

「Sawadi-sama is going to hold a festival for us adventurers to show our might! Who wants to attend?」

「……..me!」

「Let’ me do it!」

「Uoooo!!」

「I’m in!」

After a short pause, a loud cheer was heard.

「It will be held the week after next in this place! We may be asked to do a lot of preparatory work so you guys shouldn’t shy away from it!」

「Yes!」

「Understood!」

「I’ll take care of it!」

It was a relief to hear everyone’s cheerful replies.

I feel bad for the clerks and managers who had already been exhausted from the festival preparations and clean up but I’ll need to push them to work hard for a little longer.

I’ll give them an additional allowance again.

However, it’s hard to be an organization, isn’t it…..

I’m sure problems like this will keep coming up but we’ll deal with them as they come.

For now, I just want to take a bath and go to bed.

I brush off my shoulders and sand falls off my jacket.

The dust from the adventurer’s performance had turned my entire body light brown.

「Okay, that sports meet…..is it? We know where and when it is but, what should we prepare?」

「You have to draw lines on the ground so we have to use lime. And a lot of red and white headbands since they will represent the team….」

At the headquarters of the Magical Schenker Group, I had come to ask Chicken to prepare for the sports meet.

Next to Chicken, who was dressed in a high-waisted, wide pants with suspenders, is a rather big tiger-type catkin. She’s frantically taking notes of what I’m saying.

I think this girl’s name is Ika-something, or is it Suka-something?

「Please hold on, there are various things to prepare. Also, head….band….what is that?」

「It’s a piece of cloth that is about this wide and long enough to wrap around your head….」

I demonstrated the width using my index finger and thumb.

To be honest, it is okay if we can get them but if we can’t, we’ll just use something else. Clothes are expensive after all.

It’s not always possible to get a large number of the same color and the lower the procurement cost, the better.

「Like bandages?」

「Yes, something like that.」

「We can manage that much but we need to clear the area around the training area so everyone can get in.」

「I’d also like some kind of spectator seats on both sides if possible.」

The purpose of this project is to showcase the achievements of the adventurers and to strengthen their bond with personnel from other departments.

I’m also thinking about inviting outsiders as guests so it would be bad to have them sit on the ground where it’s hard to watch the competition.

「The week after the next, right? The construction team’s schedule is a little too packed. How about rescheduling it in three weeks?」

「Ah, I have no problem with that. However, since I already informed the adventurers that it would be the week after the next, I’ll leave informing them to you.」

「Understood. I’m going to have Isuka handle this one….」

The sharp-eyed tiger bowed her head and introduced herself “Isuka-desu”.

Her big chest is contained in her khaki-colored suit and looking at her, it doesn’t look like she has big tities but wearing a breastplate.

Her long yellow and black tail was pointing straight up which I think is cool.

Even so, her body is really big. Why is this girl a candidate for a managerial position?

「Your physique is really good. Are you a former adventurer?」

「N-no….I used to work in a flower shop. I can’t be an adventurer since…..they fight….」

「I-is that so…..」

Isuka’s big body shrank and her black and yellow tail hung down.

I’ve been told that physique doesn’t speak for a person and she’s a proof.

Maa, even so, in our organization, there are small girls who are working as adventurers so it’s not really a big deal.

In addition, even if her body is big, that wouldn’t matter in a managerial position.

「Well, size has nothing to do with your job. In any case, I’ll be counting on you for the next three weeks. Since we’re going to do this, let’s make it a good festival.」

「Understood.」

Her tail that has been drooping tightened.

This girl’s mood can be understood with her tail.

I guess that’s better than an iron-faced manager.

「Ano….is there something wrong with my tail?」

「Ah, no, nothing.」

「Isuka, do something with your tail that is busy getting up and down.」

I quickly faked it but Chicken, who was dealing with documents nearby, scolded her.

The tiger girl, who was told to do so, hid her tail insider her suit with a surprise look on her face.

Ah….her tail is moving and she’s not aware of it….
