Chapter 96 She Came Along (1/2)
Night had arrived, and the main festival of the Sacred Tree Festival had begun.
The plaza in the center of Rigforeshia was beautifully decorated and crowded with people.
I don’t know if it’s because the hunting tournament was canceled this year, or because I was the only one who achieved victory, but many people rushed to my side.
Honestly, there are lots of people out here, and I was hoping that they wouldn’t be able to find me easily but…… they could tell I was the winner because of the medal on my chest.
[Congratulations on your win, you did really great…… By the way, my daughter was just around your age……]
[No, err……]
For some reason, an adult male elf is desperately trying to introduce me to his daughter……
[Umm, I’m going to the royal capital…… And I was wondering if you’d like to have dinner with me or……]
[Huh? Eh?]
A young female elf, with her cheeks dyed red, invited me to dinner……

[Miyama-sama…… a caterpillar like me……was foolish enough to challenge you. Please accept my apologies.]
[……I don’t even know who you are.]
And for some reason, a female elf who seems to be a spirit mage gets down on her knees just when we first met……
Anyway, things got so dreadful and the flustered me couldn’t handle them well.
But then…… Someone I never expected became my savior.
[How rude! Don’t talk to master so casually, or I’ll tear you to pieces!!!]
[………………….]
Yes, this is where Anima came into play. She gallantly appeared, and just like a breakwater, held off the people who were coming at me like a tsunami.
Yep…… It looks like a few people have gotten beaten up from time to time, but it really helps that the barrage of questions stopped.
[Thanks, Anima. You really saved me there. I’d like it if you were to keep things in moderation though, but please keep it up.]

[Master…… Yes! This unworthy Anima is going to do everything for her duty!!!]
I don’t know if she was happy to be praised by me or not, but she smiled at me like a blooming flower, and then turned away the people who were closing in on her with more vigor…… I feel like the number of people who have been beaten up was increasing though, did she hear my instruction of keeping it in moderation? Ahh, another person flew away……
With Anima’s great efforts…… no, it looks more like her great rampage, I went to greet the elven big shots.
I guess I’ve expected it, but because of Lillywood-san, they all treated me favorably, and our greeting went smoothly.
[Kaitokun-san! Congratulations on your win~~]
[Thank you very much, Raz-san.]
Raz-san threw her congratulatory message at me, to which I returned my thanks.
Thereupon, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t find Neun-san, who was supposed to have come to the Sacred Tree Festival with Raz-san.
[Ummm, Raz-san. Where’s Neun-san?]
[……That is well, Neun-san is acting strange again.]

[Eh? Did something happen?]
[I don’t really know, but after she cheered up back on the first day of the Sacred Tree Festival, she would sometimes turn strange…… Look, Neun! This way!]
It seems that Neun-san had apparently become strange, and when I asked her concern, Raz-san turned somewhere and called out.
Turning to where she called out, I saw Neun-san hiding in the shadow of a building.
When Neun-san turned our way, although it can’t be seen from the armor she’s wearing, she moved her body as if she was flustered, and after a little while, she slowly walked towards us.
[Neun-san?]
[ ! ? K- K- Kaito-san, g- g- good morning!]
[……It’s currently night though?]
[C- C- Congrachulations on your v- v- victory!]
[Y- Yes…… Thank you very much. Ummm, Neun-san, are you alright?]
