Chapter 87 I was Chosen as a Potential Winner!? (1/2)
There were some unexpected troubles, but the harvest festival where Kusunoki-san, Yuzuki-san and I were going to participate was finally approaching.
After gathering at the entrance of the inn, before moving to the Spirits’ Forest, where the event will be held, Sieg-san gave us packages wrapped in cloth when we gathered.
[Sieg-san? What’s this?]
[……………..]
[Eh? Our bento huh? Thank you very much!]
[……………..]
Apparently, Sieg-san packed bentos for the three of us.
The harvest festival is held from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and while some will return to the city once to eat, the majority prepare bentos to eat lunch.
Sieg-san seems to enjoy baking, and I’ve tasted some of her sweets before…… It was all really well-made and delicious, and since she mentioned that she usually cooks, I’m looking forward to having my bento for lunch.
After properly thanking Sieg-san, we received our bentos and everyone moved to the venue.

Incidentally, Lilia-san and the others aren’t going to participate in the harvest festival. This is because, although the threats of Black Bears is no longer a concern, the annihilation of the guards is still causing concern in terms of security of the area, and it seems that the participants of the hunting tournament have decided to call for volunteers to patrol the perimeter of the Spirits’ Forest, and Lilia-san and the others will join them.
When we arrived near the exit of the city of Rigforeshia, there was a large crowd of people who seemed to be participants of the harvest festival.
What was different from yesterday’s hunting tournament though, was that I think there were very many women and children who participated, I think?
[There are lots of kids here.]
[Yeah. The main purpose of the harvest festival is to get to know the spirits. Especially for the elves, a good performance at the harvest festival could become a pact for the future. All parents who have children want their children to participate in the festival.]
I see, for the elves, being loved by a spirit is a great honor, and if they were to perform well at the harvest festival, they will be able to become a spirit mage.
It seems that Spirit Mage is a very privileged position among the elves, and I guess it would be expected for parents to want their children to follow that path.
It seems that while Rei-san was explaining to us, Lilia-san applied for our participation, and the male elf who seems to be in charge of the harvest festival came to talk to us with a soft smile on his face.
[Well then, the three of you who will be participating need to listen to some explanations and things that you need to take note of. It’s going to take a little bit of time……]
The male elf gave us welcoming looks and began approaching us while saying that…… and immediately afterwards, his body floated. No, it was being lifted up.

[……You dare waste the master’s time which is worth more than thousands of white gold, for such disrespect, you must be looking for death huhhh!? If you have such a death wish, let me tear your body to pieces, right here and now!!!]
[……Anima…… Let him go. Where the heck did you even come from?]
[Hahh!]
Anima suddenly appears and grabs the man’s collar, making such a disturbing statement while easily lifting his body in one hand…… Seeing this, I let out a big sigh before commanding her to let go of him.
Anima obeys my order and immediately lets go of him, and after turning to me, she salutes.
[Good morning, master! I was patrolling just now! In the midst of my patrol, I happened to notice his disrespect towards master, so I came here to “remove” this disrespectful being!]
This child seriously is…… geez, let alone a knife pointed at others, it’s like she’s a dynamite that’s ready to explode…… Unnn, I’ll absolutely go warn her a lot later.
You could even call it a super theory, but I decided to give Anima instructions for the time being while holding my head in my hands at Anima’s thoughts.
[Unnn. I’ll be fine here so…… you can go back to work.]
[Hahh! This Anima will now return to her duty!]

[Unnn…… Do your best.]
[Your words are wasted for this unworthy me! Well then, I will take my leave!]
After straightening as sharply and replying as loudly as ever, Anima returns to her patrol with a systematic march.
After seeing her off, I bow to the man who looks confused.
[I’m sorry for Anima’s impoliteness……]
[A- Ahh, no…… I see, you are the rumored master huh……]
[Rumored?]
[Yeah, I’ve been warned that if I say anything disrespectful to her master…… you, in front of her, she’ll instantly beat me up.]
[……I’m really sorry for everything.]
