Chapter 290: Third day, Morning till noon
The third day of the festival The shogi tournae a at the pork miso soup with steamed potatoes We opted to sit down at the food carts lined up on the streets since earlyour usual breakfast at the castle The food is tasty as always, a viscosity of taro and good chewy feel of daikon radish are suprei tournament finals and the martial arts tournaht?」(Yu a stea to ulus, Reefrees, Paluf, and Rodoi tournas while those fro in the h I wonder how I should feel about Baba-jii-san and Ya our country in the ards to the top picks of the cha of Restia, or possibly the Beast King of Misuic is allowed
Naturally, other strong people will be taking part in the tourna with adventurers even during normal days There are also those ill participate to just test their own abilities
「Touya-sa made sure that she herself would be able to reproduce the flavor of those steams potatoes, Luu now asks me about my plans
「I’ll probably have to announce the winner of the shogi tourna I plan to tour a lot of different places today I also have an appointment at the church later 」(Touya)
I probably shouldn’t worry about the martial arts tournament since I’ve asked Moroha-nee-san and Karina-nee-san to be the referees As for the shogi tournament, Vice-Commander Nicola-san of our household has taken the responsibility ofit
「And what about you two? Yuulus will participate in the shogi tournaulus, they will be represented by Knight Co the martial arts tournament as well Naturally, his appearance has also been altered
It’s a given that a knight commander would participate in such a tournament Nevertheless, even General Leon from Belfast will take part in the tournament as well Oh well It will probably not be found out anyway
「It’s true that my esteei tournament, but it’s useless to worry about them Therefore, I don’t have any particular plans for today」(Yu the whole day together with Touya-sama 」(Luu)
So this is why they’ve asked , eh? Well, I don’t see why I should refuse theh
We pay the fee for our meal, return the now e
Both Luu and Yuht arm, and Yumina takes my left arm Honestly, it’s difficult to walk like this, but they are s if I can actually shake them off No, there’s no way I can do it
Both of therown quite a bit and had become taller since the tier than their actual age even now
From the sense of touch on rowth in that direction…
Right noe’re still probably seen as an older brother who’s being accoer sisters
「Touya-san?」(Yu」(Touya)
I can’t let these sharp girls notice what I’ive an especially calm reply
「Oh?」(Touya)
Ah! Ita piano perfore near the clocktower today That melody… is probably western
My taste in westerna lot towards the “oldies”, the music from the 1950’s to the 1960’s In other words, what I want to say is that it was ht Sousuke-nii-san this type ofright now, is one of the classic rock’n’roll songs which represents the ninety-fifties The original was so aer 1 and Voyager 2, which were then launched to search for intelligent life outside of Earth
That re an autouy perfor a dance party in the past of his world Thatindeed
(TL: basically, this reference, both the song and the film, youtubecom/watch?v=S1i5coU-0_Q)
Given how this is a et hooked once it’s heard, everyone will also shake their bodies and ride on its rhythood look, there are other people on stage aside fro instruments and drum-like percussion instruments
「Is this…」(Touya)
「They see band It looks like they happened to pass by this country They’ve played along with Sousuke-kun here yesterday as well」
The shopkeeper of one of the opened cards lined up at the corner of the clocktower answers to ht about who it was, it turns out to be our own Kousuke-oji-san, the Agriculture God
「Hey! What are you doing here?!」(Touya)
「We’re selling curry made from the harvested crops Hey I want to participate in this festival as well」(Kousuke)
Kousuke-oji-san makes a refined smile This food cart has freshly cooked rice and curry in a deep pot while the wooden box next to hietables Next, I notice a boy holeheartedly peels potatoes and carrots from this pile
「Hht?」(Touya)
「Wha? My naht you be?」(Callen)
The boy looks at e I didn’t notice it because it didn’t affect Kousuke-oji-san, but it’s probably in the “On” state I then cancel the “blue” state, and the central part of the badge turns into the “yellow” state
「Ah Eeh!? Your Majesty?!」(Callen)
At last Callen finally recognizes o round
This boy is one of the knights that enrolled at the sa put to work at “Silver Moon” inn
He coeable about nature’s produce Thus he was supposed to be assigned to work under Naito-ossan, and has been entrusted with duties in the agricultural development sector
「He shows a lot of promise, you know? That’s why I’ve asked him to help me」(Kousuke)
I see It’s not like I don’t understand why He did e to acquire a lot of different edible food in the forest during the survival examination of the enroll to be fancied by the Agriculture God…? He probably receives divine protection as well
「Is this cart being ed by just you two?」(Touya)
「No, I’ve asked Laqshe-san to help as well Right now she is out to get the seasonings To begin with, that girl is weak to fire, so we can’t leave the cooking to her」(Kousuke)
Laqshe the Alraune, huh? That girl is a deiven that she would probably handle fire poorly If I aroup as well, so it riculture God
So this is the curry cart of the Agriculture God, huh? I am interested, but sadly I’ve already eaten steaht I quietly whisper into Kousuke-oji-san’s ear
「By the way, about the arrival of World God in the church around lunch…」(Touya)
「I’ve heard about it from Karen-san However, please don’t fuss over us」(Kousuke)
「Is that fine though? It’s been a long time since you met」(Touya)
「All in all, a thousand years isn’t very much different fro him, I’ll meet him at once」(Kousuke)
He probably retains the senses as a God Oh well It’s no use worrying over that, and the person hiht
Once we leave the clocktoe tour the festival byshopping at the various street stalls lined up here and there
「This is…」
「This figurehead is a specialty product froulus」(Luu)
A thunder bear holding a ives an explanation about a wooden figurine being sold at one of the stalls
These things are sold in any world, I suppose In h, I heard that the nus had decreased quite a bit
「This one is…」(Touya)
「It’s a charm doll which makes anyone want their happiness to extend even to their descendants」(Luu)
It’s a doll with a cylindrical look Once it’s upper and lower parts are separated, siraduation certificate, another doll that looks exactly the sa this doll will yet again reveal another smaller sized doll, and so on up until the doll with the smallest possible size
It’s probably similar to that famous souvenir from Russia The only difference is that this one looksaround the street stalls is certainly as that resemble those from my former world and those that I have never seen before As we spend the entirearound ais that catch our attention
Around the time e start to wonder ill it be lunchtime, we turn towards the direction of the church
This church is built on top of a sed by just two people, a shi+nto priest and a pastor dispatched by the Holy Kingdom Ramisshu However, two more priests are currently stationed there
Their appearances were changed with the help of the badges that I’ve distributed, but one of thedom Ramisshu, Her Eminence Elias Oltra, and the other is the cardinal ruitt
In their surroundings are people pretending to dress as adventurers, but those are probably the Te those two
The nuht preached by the Holy Kingdoht” is the World God hiht even say that I’m a believer as well
However, this isn’t particularly s about being a believer of a person who’s part of iven that I have a position as a God’s dependent I’ve also almost never stepped into the church
Once we enter the te about a st the solemn air
The so-called “Miracle of Isura”
One year ago, the “God of Light” had descended into Isura, the capital of Raht, and they rescued the city fro to shroud all of Ramisshu It’s a story about that kind of event
This st eren’t just the believers, but also people like merchants from outside Ramisshu Because of that, the story has spread around the world in a flash
Most other countries didn’t try to believe that story, yet they say people are certain of one thing alone That a miracle happened there Such were the talks of multiple eyewitnesses
In reality, it was just a mass swindle caused by ood direction since then It’s being said that despotic people, who carried out their indulgences with a slogan “Under the naer there
Her E outside the temple
As we are about to talk towards Phyllis-san and Her Eminence, they quickly dash towards us with a quick pace contrary to my expectations
「Y-Your Majesty! Could it be that the esteemed person is already here?!」(Elias)
「Aah, not yet」(Touya)
