The Festival
(Part 6)
Fairies
This race, originally called fairiel welvats, grew up to be around the size of someone’s palm at most
Although they shared the same ancestors as the elves, also known as fairiel falverihi, the cause of their appearances were so different because of a kind of curse
Only the elves, despite the dienetic history, by endeavoring to safeguard their knowledge concerning the crystal pillars’ protection and Gods, were allowed to possess perpetual youth and longevity by the Gods,their mystique
Coating people however they felt, bla the world’s peace
They were deprived of all of their God elements, and so that their bodies would weaken and become unable to mate with other species, received a curse that shrank the size of their bodies
The [Spirit] character in fairy was taken from [Deceased Spirit] as their dispositions were si [Spirit Sight] which is coht] was a skill that could read theat Partia, also holding the [Observation] skill, very likely understood what the branch vice[1]
Although Ilya was thinking about that, so that she wouldn’t use those skills herself, she decided to hear the detailed account about it from her later
“Ilya-ane’s hiding her claws again isn’t she”
“Don’t say so so scandalous”
Se, Ilya held out a small cup of black tea she had prepared for her use
Although they had planned to talk in Ilya’s private room, since it was tiuided theuest seats
“But really, I didn’t expect for the ice dragon to be defeated~”
Partia laid face-down on the table
“Didn’t you think it eird when you saw people in the town?”
“Nnn, I thought they went mad”
She said so that extre
“But really”
Partia sat up and looked around the roo topics
“Even though this branch is so huge, there’s no one here!”
“You’re right Even though I heard ru full…”
The only guests in the first floor’s dining hall were Partia and Gabriel, so Ilya couldn’t do anything but smile wryly
As for Cynthia who should have also been together with her at the reception desk, after telling the branch viceho hard atsnow sculptures in front of the branch
Further hall’s people were outside in the courtyard
“My one’s tail is thinner than yours!”
“Bard-kun, it’d look so much cuter if you did it like this—”
While chattering andthe their snow sculptures
If someone were to see only this current situation, it would look exactly like a shop that was just about to collapse
“Have you two eaten already?
Hearing her abrupt question, the two answered while inclining their heads in sync
“No, not yet”
“Coood… but my my… it doesn’t look like I can expect much…”
Partia let out a sigh
While thinking that she looked so adorable like that, Ilya handed the two of them menus
“Please letyou like”
“Will do~”
“Yeah Got it”
Flipping the pages one by one, their expressions slowly started changing
To say nothing of Gabriel who loved eating and tended to be very indecisive, even Partia who usually wouldn’t have trouble deciding was captivated by the sheer diversity of sweets available
While the tere having trouble deciding, the doors to the branch were open and Cynthia could be seen walking inside
“I’reat but it’s really cold!”
“Pi~!”
“Right! Work, work!”
Haku, as outside playing with Cynthia who had coht towards Ilya While Ilya was holding Haku and petting away the snow that covered him, Rachelle, Ria, and the others returned and opened the office’s door to prepare to serve guests
Because they’d been out in the courtyard, the little snow rehtly leaving tracks on the ground behind them
“Welcome back everyone Haku, did you have fun?”
“Pi!”
“Haku dashed about everywhere, he never stopped ~”
While saying that, Cynthia’s face broke into a grin Haku, who had grown large enough to need two hands to carry, had gotten to the point of being able to play on his own
“Ilya-ane, that’s…”
“Pi?”
Haku, seeing Partia speak, was i that could talk
Its intent and straightforward stare caused her to falter
(Why is the dragon God’s child at a place like this?!)
Partia, able to see through the fact that Haku was the dragon God’s hatchling with her strong ability, figured out exactly how much time it would take to escape back to Gabriel as Haku watched her like he wanted to pounce on her
As though just to wash away this explosive situation(?), several men and women opened the door and walked in
“Welcome~”
“Morning Rachelle, today’s cold too huh~”
Taking off their protection against the cold while sitting down in chairs and co on the cold, the customers placed their hands on some stones meant to warm hands that were provided on the tables
“GoodWould you like a menu?”
“It’s alright I’ll get the usual!”
“I want soy ramen with a side of fried rice!”
“I think I’ll have some carbonara pasta Ah, lots of peppers please!”
“Certainly”
Saying that, Rachelle left the table
Then, the scene that Partia and Gabrielle was seeing suddenly amped up—
“You gotta eat spicy stuff when it’s cold ya’know!?”
“Ah, then, I’ll have the mapo tofu special!” [2]
“Margherita pizza! And some stew too!” [3]
“Guess I’ll go with some soup Soup!”
“I want soarnished pork soup!” [4]
“I’ll go with some hot sake Ah, and…”
“Some meat soba please!” [5]
“How ’bout a hot pot?”
“No way I want penne all’arrabbiata” [6]
Seeing the hall fill up in no time flat, the two of them looked around in surprise
“T-the heck’s this”
“There’s so many people”
“It looks like everyone’s been doing their best atback to eat That’s why I said to let me know as soon as you could, you know?”
The two suddenly looked back down at the menu
But it was already too late Rachelle and the hall, the kitchen in its own version of hell A sign saying the branch was at its capacity was hung in the
“Onee-chan’s a meanie!”
“But it’s so much fun~”
Although so the fairy, most people didn’t see about the progress on their snow sculptures and asking what other groups were doing, getting excited about the snow festival
There weren’t any proble hoell the event was reducing their stress, Ilya let out a sh of relief
The people who had co on their snow sculptures, so the next people to couards, as well as people who completed their commissions ahead of schedule
When all of their coistrations were finished, it was time for receptionists to switch out Ilya decided to take a short rest before going into the kitchen, which was her next job
Ilya, who had taken her break tiether with Partia and Gabriel in her uncrowded private room, however—
“… You two are still eating?”
Partia was eating a whipped crea her lips at the strawberry jelly’s sweetness
Gabriel was being Gabriel, slurping down his third bowl of miso ramen [7]
