Chapter 93 A Shura was There (1/2)
When I returned to the city of Rigforeshia, well, I had already expected this to some extent but…… A tremendous commotion occurred.
That’s no wonder since Lillywood-san, one of the Six Kings, is currently next to me, which must be a shocking situation for the elves who worship Lillywood-san like a god.
Looking quite nervous, the man who is facilitating the event approaches.
[W- Well then, the bag of fruits you collected…..]
[Ah, yes.]
As I handed the bag to the man, right after that…… I think I heard Lilia-san shout something, but to be honest, that sounds scary…… So, I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it.
As I was thinking about that, Lillywood-san was talking to the man who was facilitating the game.
“Fumu, the all-time record was 210 but…… I guess I didn’t even have to help you with collecting fruits.”
[ [ [ ! ? ] ] ]
[W- World King-sama, what does that……]

“This person, Kaito, had already collected nearly 400 pieces before he met me.”
[W- What the……]
The man takes the bag from me in astonishment, while the other facilitators look at me as if I were a monster.
The highest score was 210? Arehh? That’s funny…… I think you’re missing one zero there. I mean, if that’s really the highest score they can get, I might not want to think about it for a moment……
Feeling uncomfortable from the gazes around me, I moved my gaze to watch the tallying, but just when one of the facilitators took the fruits out of the bag…
[……We would need more baskets……]
Apparently, one basket wasn’t enough, and the facilitator, with a stiff expression on his face, continued to transfer the fruits into the baskets…… and eventually, when the number of baskets reached 15, it seems that the contents of the bags was finally emptied.
(T/N: I think the fruits mentioned here aren’t that big, or I really mistranslated and it was actually “berries” instead.)
The man looks at the baskets piled up like a mountain of fruits, and after staring at it for a few moments…… he doesn’t even count them, but just moves his gaze and lets out a loud voice.
[Winner, Miyama Kaito!!!]

[Huh?]
Instantly, a crackling cheer erupted from those around me.
The winner? Me? Ah, no, you haven’t even counted them yet…… Around 210 was just the average amount, is what I was thinking but…… Arehh? Isn’t this bad?
[Amazing, that guy’s amazing!]
[What’s with that number, 1000…… No, Isn’t that about 2000?]
[And look at that number of spirits! The other spirit mages won’t even reach his level!]
[Yeah…… He must be the apostle of World King-sama…… Thank God, for gracing us with your presence.]
Yep, how should I say this…… I may have harvested too much.
W- What should I do!? I mean, it already causes a huge fuss around us, and somehow…… some people started worshipping me as Lillywood-san’s apostle!? I need to settle this down immediately…… Ah, this is dangerous, I feel like a wave of humans is about to surge towards me……
“Silence!”

The noise disappears all at once, as Lillywood-san shouts at the people who were about to rush towards me with excitement.
Lillywood then stands a few distance in front of me and quietly looks around the people around us before speaking.
“First, we should do the awarding. If you wish to speak with Kaito-san, do so after the festival. When doing so, please keep everything in moderation and don’t cause trouble…… This is a strict order. Is that alright with everyone?”
Hearing her dignified voice resounding everywhere, many elves prostrate themselves with their knees and hands on the ground.
“It’s safe to say that Kaito-san is now the winner, and since the atmosphere is already in place…… Do you mind if I do the awarding? I would also know the amount of fruits he had acquired.”
[O- O- Of course!]
“Well then, Kaito-san…… come with me.”
After getting the facilitator’s approval, Lillywood-san lightly taps the ground with the wooden staff she held.
Thereupon, a tree grows from a little distance away and it wriggles and turns into a large altar-like shape.

Then, Lillywood-san moved to the center of that wooden altar and called out to me…… Eh? You want me to go over there? While all these people had their eyes on me?
Climbing up the wooden altar and standing in front of Lillywood-san, exposed to a level of attention that’s already on the level of being in a public execution.
I didn’t know what to do, but since the other part is Lillywood-san, one of the Six Kings, and since we’re in public, I decided to get down one knee and took the formal way of bowing to someone.
“Otherworlder Miyama Kaito.”
[Y- Yes!]
“You have communicated with many spirits at the harvest festival and won their strong and deep trust. For this great work, I commend you.”
[T- Thank you very much.]
The awarding ceremony began in some sort of flow, and I very nervously responded to Lillywood-san’s words.
“You have collected a total number of “2,321” fruits……. This is a result unseen even back in the past, and it proves that you are truly loved by the spirits.”
[………………..]

Most of that number was the fruits collected by Lillywood-san, so it’s not really collected through my efforts but…… Unfortunately, this isn’t the place for me to say such a thing.
Lillywood-san then continues to praise me with her dignified voice, and the people around us applaud and cheer.
“The original winner’s prize is of course as stated by the rules…… But your achievement isn’t something that can be evaluated on its own. Therefore, I would like to give you some kind of reward from me as well. Tell me, what do you desire?”
[Wha? Huh?]
