The Festival
(Part 5)
Snow even now continued to fall on s in Lunéville
In an inn’s rooht
His goal was to draw in and stand out in various ways, he had even been able to acquire various evidence
However, all of the infors None of the infor that could become solid evidence, it was as if the closer her approached, thea cloud with his bare hands
As for what thebut a solid fact
For his entire life, if someone was innocent, that person must have some trace of corruption as well If there was a person whose behavior could only be thought of as pure white, they must actually be pitch-black
It would be easy if those people showed their true colors, but since they don’t, it could be said that’s the reason why this man was sent
“… Haah”
His unintentional sigh didn’t fog the air, so he felt thankful towards the rooed cold outside
In contrast, there were two young human and beastkin boys outside the , chased after by a young beastkin girl while breathing out white breaths Further after the three people
There were all s
Seeing the scenery and events happen one after another, the ly smiled
There was so he had to do
Thethe whip to his th He stood up and stretched his hand out to his jacket
A few days later When snow that had been piling up was being removed at a faster rate than it fell, the dissatisfaction that had was accu in the branch had finally reached the point of eruption
“Ilya, it’s alright to kill that right right?”
“Please don’t say soerous, Bard-san”
Considering his background, she didn’t take it as a joke
Likely still afraid of Ilya, Bard fell silent as though he were sulking To make up for that, a voice came from across the counter
“But ya know, no one who sees that guy thinks he any good”
“No one supports that guy, shouldn’t everyone go on strike?”
Hearing that voice co hall spoke their agreement and approval
“… Everyone has been made to have an unpleasant time as well I am sorry”
“Ilya doesn’t have to apologize!”
“Yeah yeah! It’s that bastard’s fault!”
“… Well, the reason we can’t work in this weather is also because we’re here with our built up anger!”
Ilya doubted that
They didn’t have that ular customers that spent all their tialantness froation was no where to be seen, as though it were bloay by its breath
Even so, it was only in the beginning that they were able to be in high spirits with the unfa their actions was real
(I wonder… is there anything we can do to relieve some stress…)
Ah she was thinking absent to act as protection against the cold could be seen entering the branch
Although most of them drew close to the fire stone heater to warm themselves, Darren, a beastkin that was part of the branch’s staff, headed towards Ilya
“Ilya, the roof snow’s shoveling has been completed I confirmed it”
“Alright, thank you for verifying the work”
The roofs of Lunéville’s traditional housing were flat in order to make use of the little rainfall, not ones with snowfall in mind unlike slanted ones [1]
Setting aside the s that were sturdy, the older ones’ roofs were aged and deteriorated, so the danger of collapsing froh
Even though there was a pressing need to remove the snowfall, they couldn’t very well excessively waste their insufficient fire eleic wasn’t so versatile as to be fine-tuned enough for that Therefore, guards had their hands full with plowing snow from the street and the lord couldn’t stand the situation any longer, so he sent out a couild
(… Snow, huh?)
With a few reeted Darren, as prudently shedding snow from himself
“Darren-san, as done with the unloaded snow?”
“The unloaded snow? Entrances and streets were avoided… ere there any designated areas?”
“No, it’s nothing”
The answer that ca had been particularly done with it, but that was a convenient answer for her
Finished with the procedure of co her break
Ilya headed down the street wearing a pea coat so as to not see was completed, people eren’t accustomed to the snow still weren’t able to walk too easily due to the ankle-high snow cover Holding Haku and heading to the lord’sattention to how ed to er This wasn’t a coincidence of course, it was due to her using skills like [Presence Inference]
Accepted inside without any proble such a sudden visit, she met Hector in the parlor
“It feels like it’s been a long time since we last saw each other, Ilya”
“Yes It’s been a little troublesome”
Recently they’d only been able to talk through documents, so the topic naturally flowed towards that
When she cut straight to the point and showed hi, Hector gave a puzzled look
“Your plans seethe reward?”
“Yes I designed it after all”
“You can take it froet to some extent you know I’m not unrelated as the lord either, there’s even the possibility of a return if it goes well, right?”
Ilya agreed
However, a paradoxical supplement came from her mouth
“Even so, I can’t predict the reaction without actually atte it Moreover, this may be the final chance”
“… That’s also true”
However, although Hector admitted it, he immediately shook his head in denial
“No, that’s no good I’ll put out the reward”
“But…”
“Don’t worry about it I’ out the reward as the lord, but as myself as an individual”
After though, although the two talked a little
This was Hector’s obstinacy that Frank had spoken of
Realizing just how correct those words were, Ilya could do nothing but smile wryly
Drawing up the commission chart that same day, she stuck it to the bulletin board Several people who saeren’t able to believe it, letting out perplexed voices The crowds reacted as though they were caught on a hook
“Ilya-chan, this commission from Lord-sama… what is it?”
Hearing the question that everyone nearby was thinking, they also looked towards her
Finally receiving that question, Ilya smiled and answered
“By participating, you will be co snow”
The entry requirees in Lunéville could join, regardless of guild They could register in groups of ten or less and would be assigned an area to manufacture their monument at There were no li with a fine Rules such as co between between branches would be set in the future The three top participants would be given a prize
To speak in japanese terms—
“It’s a snow festival”
Scenes of an event froh her mind
Although people looks a little confused when she first said what it was, people put their na day saw the reception area packed full of people, turning into a situation where the reception area would temporarily be moved to the second floor’s private room
However, even though it should have beco to explain to the occasional people arrived late and inquired about it
But there was also trouble on the service side as well
“What is theof this…!”
“What do you mean?”
In the parlor on the third floor, Ilya was being subjected to the branch vice
His eyebroere knit together to the point that one would wonder if they weren’t connected With his te, it was obvious that his level of resentment wasn’t normal
“Don’t play dumb!”
The branch vice er struck theframe
Beyond that , citizens were frantic… but it was as though they were enjoying theures
“Staff members cannot prepare a commission that would paralyze the town’s functions and involve all citizens!”
“I understand, however, this commission was released under Lord-saed to carry out and complete their personal duties beforehand as well, they had consented that there would be penalties and even the construction will be progressing as planned through overtime hours carried out ahead of time”
While thinking that his rejection was a little surprising, Ilya spoke the words she had prepared beforehand
She hadn’t intended to purposely increase the nus, but it would have been unfortunate if she hadn’t thought that soree would happen
“Sophistry!”
“He will assume responsibility as well Still, I would like you to wait to see if any problems occur”
Anything she said would have likely been wasted Judging that, Ilya decided to drive the situation to her concession
However, if he still wasn’t pleased with that, he should be satisfied with the state responsibility
Even if his true intention was about soun and was under Hector’s naer could not help but to accept the proposal
