The Festival
(Part 3)
That same time, east of Lunéville A man set foot in a Harville inn, the inn itself filled with a somewhat melancholic atmosphere
“Nn? Guest, have you lost your way on the road?”
“No I’ll be staying here overnight”
The inn storekeeper’s smile, returned to the man who seemed sincere, eak and contained bitterness
“You are curious as well, then? Even though our inn fees were reduced by Lord-sauests leave”
Harville was an inn town that developed to connect the road between Pinéaville and the royal capital
But now, due to the new threat na completely deprived
(… It ht already be completely deprived)
Looking at the town’s at that wasn’t unreasonable
Vigor, cuisine, public order, culture… as the number of people increases, it’s natural for civilization to advance
When considering those things, it was easy to i role in the country named Rondéville would be Lunéville
(Therefore, I’ for it)
The man paid the storekeeper the inn fees, which were expensive compared to Lunéville, and went to his bed
(Invading by taking advantage of the open event known as its festival Sneaking in as part of the influx of new citizens Or possibly, by other means…)
The man ridiculed himself over his conjecture before it even reached its conclusion, his actions would be obstructed even if he thought about it He abandoned the idea
With his consciousness drifting away into sleep, his optimism left a faintly bitter taste in his mouth
The festival’s traces still lingering, branch er Frank went to the country where the association’s headquarters was located, Guild Port
He harbored worries about his entire trip, about theabsent and about the position of vice branchfilled by association headquarters He felt somewhat restless due to his worry and expectations towards the person that assumed the position of the seat that had been left unfilled for so long
By all rights, the person should have handled transference procedures and the like before the branch er left, but he arrived three days after Frank departed
The reason for it was probably due to the snowfall, so the staff didn’t harbor any dissatisfaction towards him for that However…
“I truly despise being transferred to such a backwater place as this”
With those words, practically unseen even then as the snow continued to fall, the staff members’ expressions stiffened
But as though not seeing their expressions at all, the man’s mouth curved into a loose arc as he continued to speak
“Even so Due to uild association, I will doany corners”
Fiercely changing his conduct in a single breath, the h looking down on thelance at each one
“Carelessness, abuse of authority,work and private matters These are all absolutely unacceptable I will dismiss whoever does these without mercy, so you all would do well to pay careful attention”
Then, as though it were not necessary to say anything further, the man turned around and left the office
Unable to find anything to say to thebut see hi] ritten on the schedule, but they felt as though they were just now sensing the gravity of those words
By the tiain, at least ten seconds had passed since the man left
“W-why, that guy…”
The one to say that was Bard, a black panther beastkin, bewildered into indignation
Unable to explain despite agreeing with hi bitterly, Claude attracted people’s attention towards himself with a loud clap
“There is nothing in particular to report fro hall, or kitchen?”
“No, nothing in particular”
Nodding towards Ilya who had received his gaze and responded, Claude continued with the same bitter expression
“Morning assembly adjourned! Do your best today as well!”
Being able to regain themselves and start their work could likely be called experience they’d built in the industry
Just when the previous bewilderan to settle, it happened
“This branch, why do you wear these uniforms?”
“Fugyaaah!”
The entire dining hall’s gazes concentrated towards Ria’s slightly uncute shriek
The vice branch aze that did not conceal his disdain in the least, gripped and raised her skirt
It wasn’t that he was interested at as inside her skirt, but opposing so like that was natural
“W-what are you thinking!? Lecher! Are you a pervert!?”
“Wearing so that shows this much is more perverted”
Protested against by Ria’s teary eyes, the vice branch er responded in scorn
“W-hat!? Aren’t there a lot of people that wearclothes than this!?”
“Nn? Is that so? Surely, I had no idea that beastkin preferred being so close to nude Kuku”
“Whyaat…!”
Ignoring Ria’s anger, the vice branch lance at her and left the counter with a sneer
As for the thoughts of the people nearby, there were various
