Chapter 286: The Additional Participating Nations, and the Opening Announcement (2/2)

Follohat I’ve said, Princess becoer brother after she has placed her badge on the table He probably looks like a boy whom she has never seen before

By the way, I’e, so everyone appears the same as usual to me

「This star is also iic than usual inside, the stone will change its color to “Blue” If ever you are in danger when the badge is in that state, it will automatically transfer its wearer to his or her rooardless of the weapon or method used Please keep the star in a “Blue” state, and under no circu the festival」(Touya)

Of course, the saht by each head of state Though if they end up keeping the badge in a “Blue” state, they will inadvertently be transported the e That’s why they keep it in a “Yellow” state in case there aretheof Misumido are asked to keep theirs in a “Blue” state outside of matches There are no h Actually, there is no need for people who don’t have thatlike Lyon-san or Juutarou-san to conceal thees since it would be inconvenient for them not to be able to discern some people from others

「In addition to that, please take this one along with you」(Touya)

I then call upon a white puppy fro them smartphones, so I’ve decided to attach a summoned beast as a follower to the heads of states which aren’thappens, touch this guy and talk to him That way, you will be able to contact me He hiuard」(Touya)

「Thank you veryof Paluf squats and brushes the puppy’s head, to which the puppy narrows its eyes and wags its tail in apparent delight Although I’ve said that it’s a dog, it’s actually a wolf It’s a child of a Sunora Wolf which lives in snowfields

The one watching this cub with interest froo is none other than Rachel, the daughter of Duke Rembrandt It see of Paluf does, but it looks like she doesn’t want to corown to treat me as someone she can’t deal with, hasn’t she?

I then express roup of people frooes to where the boy king is and starts brushi+ng the puppy Seeht, huh?

Well then, it appears I’ve finished explaining everything to the kings here There are some who have returned to their roo their discussions After all, they now have an opportunity to talk to the influential people of countries who entrusted this place to Yunima and Luu, I transfer to “Silver Moon” in the castle tohere the other guests are gathering

As I enter the large dining hall of the inn, I notice the figures of Elzie and Linzie a their breakfast

Sitting next to the two are their Aunt Rana and her children There are seven people in total including the eldest Emma-san, who is older than me The whole family — with the exception of the eldest son, who has already becoether

「Oh, Touya Is everything in the castle finished?」(Elzie)

「For the tiuess How about here?」(Touya)

「Well, sonito after all」(Elzie)

I exchange a feords with Ezie and then greet both Aunt Rana-san and Emma-san

Aside fro hall, like Balar-san from the weapon shop and Sireet and wave them

We’ve instructed the invitees that ill handle their hotel charges and oes for “Silver Moon”, they are providing guests with particularly nice roo of which, I don’t see Doran-san anywhere Did so happen? 」(Touya)

「You see, Doran-san has ended up helping Mika-san in the kitchen The inn is fully booked due to the festival, so they seem to be understaffed」(Linzie)

So explains Linzie Oops! Looks like the troubles happen even in a place like this It probably means that the second inn may be busy as well

For the sake of clarity, the “Silver Moon” here in Brunhild is a branch store, and there’s nothing wrong with Doran-san helping out since he’s technically the owner of the “Head Office”

「Remind me, at what hour does the festival start?」(Elzie)

「It starts at eight, which is about an hour or so fro, ill do a few shauess we’re going to rand training field, you ears?」(Elzie)

The northern grand training field is different frohts, this spacious training field is separated froears Only authorized people are allowed access there because that place is dangerous, not because it has secrets in it

There’s a powerful barrier installed on the grounds, which is capable of preventing any da outside If I’m to be asked why it’s installed, on’t be able to ensure the safety of people in there otherwise since we also conduct experiic and bullets that tend to fly everywhere

In the first place, fra by the field, so we can’t do anything secretive there

It appears a crowd tends to gather outside of the training field during training hours Turns out that watching those battles is an amusement for the townspeople That’s why it has been decided that ould conduct a proper event this time

「Afterwards, ill do the first round of matches of the first baseball tournaa four ames will decide the teams that will advance into the matches tomorrow」(Touya)

「Have the opponents already been decided?」(Linzie)

「Not yet We will do it with an iht teams in total, so it won’t even take much of a time In fact, the selection in itself is one of the events for this festival

Our Brunhild teaht order as the captain, but its strength is frankly questionable It’s neither tre nor it’s weak, but I can say that our tea on their opponent Nevertheless, it’ll be fine if they can just keep at it and enjoy the gaive several discount coupons to Aunt Rana and her children as presents Those coupons are liive a half-price reduction Then, I transfer to the school located in the castle town

「Uoo! What the hell ?!」(Touya)

I falter a bit at the sight of a crowd of cats assembled in rows on the caer-striped Cats of various lineages are all looking at Nyantaro, who hi his sword to the sky

「My friends! Today is our big day to shi+ne~nya! It’s no exaggeration to say that the peace of this town is hanging on us on this very day~nya! Each of you, get psyched and patrol the streets ~nya! 」(Nyantaro)

『Nya-a!!』

「Should you find a suspicious person, observe the happens, iuard stations and lead them to the place~nya!」(Nyantaro)

『Nya-a!!』

「A cat for the sake of person! A person for the sake of cat! Oh lory awaits you at the end of your duty ~nya! A katsuobushi+ for each, specifically speaking ~nya! Go then now ~nya! 」(Nyantaro)

『Nya-a-a ! ! !』

Simultaneously, the cats run off toward the town His leadershi+p is aood to be wasted on cats Looks like the power of katsuobushi+ is so

「Ooh, if it isn’t His Majesty Are you here on inspection ~nya?」(Nyantaro)

「Well, soh it looks like there’s no need for me to worry」(Touya)

「Naturally! Both the safety of the town and the princess’sthe festival will be kept by this Nyantaro… danan ~nya!」(Nyantaro)

Looks like he’s getting his na on his own already Oh well, both naht, I have to warn hi of Zenoasu will be visiting Fiana-san…」(Touya)

「I’ve already heard about it from the princess ~nya She doesn’t mind if I kill him should he behave insolently in front of her erous!」(Touya)

It will certainly turn into an international probleiven hie he’ll receive because of how his own daughter treats hie I feel pity for hi, I have Nyantaro just put an end on killing and ask hiuard

Once this is done, I receive an email from Professor Babylon on my smartphone, so I decide to return to the castle Looks like the preparations are in order

Upon yoku, Sango, Kokuyou, and Ruli — greet ned to guard duty and the observation of the streets』(Kohaku)

「Okay Lethappens」(Touya)

Aniyoku, tiny snakes for the likes fro the town As expected There’s no e can call upon Ruli’s dependents, the dragons, so she will be observing the town from the skies That way it would be immediately obvious to her if there’s an uproar

As I arrive at the castle gates, I notice a group fro forth into town Looks like son countries are already in town, huh?

As Her E accompanied by a priest Hht?

She became a cardinal after those past events, if I remember correctly Aside from me, she’s the first person who had ever meet Kami-sama Even so, the last person is Her Eminence

Both of theht! They are keeping theirs in the “Blue” state

「Y-Your Majesty The Dukedo Won’t you happen to knohen “That person” would be co?」(Elias)

“That person” is the term Her Eminence uses for Ka to descend, she panics quite a bit Even so, it looks like she has ed to somewhat calh Oh well I can’t do anything about that

「I think he won’t be co today at least He contacted me yesterday, so he should be here from tomorroards Please be relieved I will properly contact you when he arrives」(Touya)

「H-He re worried, Phyllis-san addresses ht ~nanoyo The world God hasn’t grown senile yet, you know ~nanoyo? 」(???)

「Waa! You’ve surprised me! I’ve already told you not to appear all of sudden, haven’t I?!」(Touya)

Towards Phyllis-san’s inquiry, Karen-nee-san suddenly replies frorief! She really has a literal knack to appear unexpectedly!

「I’ll be opening a love consultation office in the church as well today ~noyo I’ll thoroughly settle every single query ~noyo I’ve been itching to put my skills to use ~noyo!」(Karen)

Hood, but why do I feel uneasy when she speaks like that? I would really like her not to cause any strange uproar

「Well then, it’s tio to the front, ~noyo! The lost la for us ~noyo!」(Karen)

「Ah! W-wait for us! Karen-sama! please!」(Elias)

「I-I am sorry, Your Majesty! See you later!」(Phyllis)

Pulling the hands of those two, Karen-nee-san starts walking to town Their guarding knights then start chasing the trio in hot haste Although I’ve a feeling that there’s nothing to be sorry for, I probably shouldn’t be worried about that group as long as Karen-nee-san is with theroups have walked to the castle town I guess it’s about time to start

Once the clocktower in the center of town strikes eight o’clock, a great number of fireworks are launched into the sky froins playing violin, producing a tune with a high voluar, Pomp and Circumstance Marches

This melody, called as such in japan, is apparently called the “Land of Hope and Glory” in the United Kingdom It’s loved so much that it’s even called “The Second national anthee for this music to be played in a different world

As for me, I include in it my wish for Brunhild to becoo up to the microphone that’s connected to the speakers of the clocktower and declare the opening of the festival
