Chapter 1546 - Omen ⑧
[Speaking of which, I heard Kaori was summoned in Archlesia Empire?]
[Yep. When I was first summoned, it was supposed to be summer, so I was surprised at how cold it was.]
[Ahh~~ I see, the time when they summon people is at the end of December back in Japan, and Archlesia Empire has an especially harsh winter. I also visited Archlesia, so I know how you feel. It’s warm around Symphonia though.]
[The climate in Symphonia Kingdom is stable throughout the year.]
The two sides enjoyed conversing with each other, reminiscing about when they were summoned as Hero actors.
[In Archlesia Empire, I was especially indebted to Chris-san.]
[That’s the current Emperor, right? She still wasn’t one when I was summoned.]
[Unnn. Well, she wasn’t the Emperor yet when I was first summoned. When I opened my restaurant, I got a lot of help from her, so I’m overwhelmed with gratitude around her. She already stands in such a high position now though, so it’s difficult for me to visit her.]
[Hou. Speaking of Archlesia Empire, it will soon be their Founding Festival, right? Aren’t you going to go?]
[Hmmm, it’s not that I don’t want to go, but Archlesia Empire’s Capital is far away…… That would take time and money.]
There is quite a distance from Friendship City Hikari, where Kaori’s restaurant is located, to Archlesia’s Imperial Capital. Using transportation methods such as Flying Dragon Flights or carriages would take a considerable amount of time, so her only option would be to travel using Teleportation Magic. However, teleportation establishments can be quite expensive, making it a tough expense for a commoner like Kaori. In addition, it’s common to wait several hours before teleportation because teleportation shops are very crowded during such events.
When Kaori told Akane that it would be difficult for her to go to the event, Akane spoke with a smile.
[What are you talking about? I can easily bring you there. I’ll take you as far as Archlesia Empire in a flash.]
[Eh? Really? I’m glad to hear that…… but is that alright?]
[Yeah, I was just thinking of taking a little peek over there too, so taking a stopover over here isn’t too much trouble.]
[That’s great! Thank you, Akane-san. I’m looking forward to it~~]
Akane decided to take her to Archlesia Empire, so with all her problems solved, Kaori decided to participate in the Founding Festival, thanking Akane with a smile.
[As expected, meeting Chris-san would be difficult, but seeing her face at the ceremony site would be nice.]
[Right. Well, she’s now an Emperor, so even if you say you’re acquaintances, that doesn’t mean you can easily meet her……]
[Come to think of it, aren’t you going to open up a stall, Akane-san? Festivals are a good time to make money, right?]
[Hmmm. If I try running a stall intending to make a solid profit, it would usually be hard. Putting aside if I’m just setting it up for fun, but if I’m setting it up intending to make a profit, I don’t really feel like it. Our business and festival stalls may be similar, but it’s still different.]
Akane leads a mobile trading company, but it’s a little different from festival stalls. As they are a trading company, the products they handle aren’t food or beverages, so they aren’t suitable for a festival.
Therefore, she intends to participate in the Founding Festival purely as someone enjoying the festivities.
[Ahh, I just remembered, but the stall Kaito-kun had at Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival was amazing, wasn’t it?]
[Never expected he’d have the Phantasmal King as his clerk.]
[Seriously. That child is just outrageous…… I’m glad we didn’t run into the Six Kings or anyone like them who happened to be at Kaito-kun’s stall. Just seeing Phantasmal King-sama there already made me nervous, so I’m confident my heart would have stopped if Death King-sama or War King-sama had been there.]
[Hahaha, right…… Well, I don’t think Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival would get in that much of a fuss, so let’s just take it easy and enjoy ourselves.]
[That’s right!]
What the two of them, lightheartedly laughing like that, didn’t know about…… was that an unprecedented situation has arisen at Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival, where all of the Supreme Gods are in attendance. And the primary factor behind it is none other than Kaito, whom they just mentioned…… only becoming aware of this on the day of the event.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [Whoa there, it seems like the stomachache supernova is also participating. Things really are getting interesting.]
Serious-senpai : [Do you plan on thoroughly body-blowing everyone, Kaito……]
