Chapter 95 As I Thought, Lilia-san Fainted (1/2)

After a good amount of time, Lilia-san came back to life and after we moved to Rei-san’s house, we listened to them talk about the main festival that would happen this evening.

[The main festival is, simply speaking, a big party. There’s all the food and beverages you can eat and drink, and everyone gives their thanks for a year of good harvests. Well, with the presence of the World King-sama this year, it’s probably going to be even bigger than that.]

[I see, so we’ll just relax and enjoy our food.]

[……Well, Lilia-chan and others would probably relax…… but I doubt that’s the case for you though?]

[Eh?]

The main festival is described as a big feast, but in the end, it seems to be about having a meal while chatting with everyone, which is exactly just how busy festivals occur but…… For some reason, Rei-san was looking at me with a strange look on his face.

[Miyama-kun is the winner of the harvest festival. In the main festival, after the greetings are over to a certain extent, “you will spend the night in the Spirits’ Forest”.]

[…..That’s the first time I heard that though……]

[Well, my bad. I didn’t think any of you were going to win until what happened yesterday……]

[……Spending the night in the Spirits’ Forest, where will I sleep?]

[……There’s a shrine over there.]

[A shrine!?]

It is said that the winner of the harvest festival is expected to spend the night with the spirits in the forest every year.

I heard that being allowed to stay in the Spirits’ Forest is a great honor for the spirits mages…… To me though, it’s like being thrown out in the forest for the night after a quick meal.

Moreover, I would have to sleep at a shrine…… No matter how I think about it, it’s not a facility for sleeping, and of course, there doesn’t seem to be any futon or anything like that, so if I’m not mistaken, it will probably be as if I was sleeping outdoors.

[Ummm, that doesn’t sound so safe……]

[It’s alright. The spirits will protect the winner of the harvest festival while he or she stays, and this year, the World King-sama is present, so there won’t be any mishaps.]

[……Is that so……]

I wonder how this happened?

It’s supposed to be a joyful thing to say that I won but…… How did we end up in this penalty game-like situation?

[Luna, please have a blanket ready for him.]

[I respectfully obey.]

[Miyama-san, please do your best.]

[Senpai, fighting!]

Apparently, it was already decided that I will be going camping.

After thanking everyone who was throwing words of comfort and support with a stiff smile on my face, I let out a big sigh.

It’s useless to think any further about camping…… or rather, whenever I think about it, I only think about how cold it looks or something bad may happen, so I decide not to think about it.

As we were chatting for a while, the sound of the doorbell alerts us of a visitor.

[Oya? Who could it be?]

Muttering this, Rei-san stood up and went to the front door and opened it.

And seeing the visitor who appeared, Rei-san slumped to the spot as if he lost the strength on his legs.

“Excuse my intrusion.”

[Wha!? W- W- W- World King-sama!?]

To our surprise, it’s Lillywood-san, and of course, Rei-san and we’re surprised.

Lillywood-san looks at the surprised Rei-san and us, and after slightly smiling, she bowed her head.

“I apologize for my sudden visit.”

[N- N- No! You don’t have to apologize! World King-sama is always welcome even within our drabby home.]

“Once the main festival begins, I’ll be busy with other stuff, so I thought I’d say hello to the noble that was taking care of Kaito-san.”

[ ! ? ]

Hearing Lillywood-san’s calmly telling us that, Lilia-san jolted and her back straightened.

Perhaps noticing her movement, Lillywood-san moves her gaze towards Lilia-san before calling out to her.

“Oya? Aren’t you…… “Princess Lilianne”?”

[Yesh! Ah, no, I’m now calling myself with the name Lilia Albert.]

“Is that so…… I have seen you several times at the royal palace, but this should be the first time we spoke like this, right? As you may know, I’m Lillywood Yggdrasil. Henceforth, I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.”

[Y- Y- Y- Yes. S- Same here!]
