Chapter 1545 - Omen ⑦
Chapter 1545 – Omen ⑦
Yggfresis is a large city in the Demon Realm. At the foot of the World Tree in the center of this city, Lillywood was checking her schedule at her castle while drinking water brought by Camellia.
Lillywood is one of the Six Kings with relatively close ties to the Human Realm, and she has many opportunities to participate in events in the Human Realm. Rather, it should be said that many such related jobs come her way due to aspects regarding Lillywood herself.
There’s Isis, who has her problematic magic power of death, Megiddo, who is dangerous without a stopper around, Magnawell, who has difficulty participating due to his physique, and Shallear, who doesn’t appear in public in the first place…… The only one who is relatively involved in the Human Realm events to a similar extent as Lillywood among the Six Kings is Kuromueina.
[And so, you’ll be attending Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival this year, right?]

“Yes, considering the events back in Symphonia Kingdom, there’s a possibility of a misunderstanding that only Symphonia Kingdom is particularly friendly with the Six Kings, so having the power balance of each country in mind, it is better for us to attend. I heard that Magnawell will also use his clone body to participate, and if I go too, it will keep up appearances to a certain extent.”
[I see. Well, Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival back then was just a special occasion, and all the Six Kings attending an event isn’t something that normally happens.]
“Right. Rather, it was fortunate that the Gods remained silent back then. If even the Supreme God or Shallow Vernal-sama herself appeared back then, it would turn out into a major incident.”
Because of the balance of power among the three countries in the Human Realm, Lillywood was also planning to attend Archlesia Empire’s and Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festivals.
Since Magnawell was invited to Archlesia Empire and Megiddo was invited to Hydra Kingdom every year, LIllywood decided that the presence of two Six Kings would be able to keep up appearances to a certain extent by attending both celebrations.
However, Lillywood’s assumptions were shattered by the words of her subordinate who rushed into her office shortly afterward.
[T- This is bad, Lillywood-sama!]
“What is it? Did Megiddo go on a rampage again……”
[While this information is uncertain, there are apparently talks of all the three Supreme Gods attending Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival!?]
“…………Huh?”
It isn’t unreasonable that Lillywood becomes dumbfounded at the words of her subordinate. The Supreme God has even fewer connections with the Human Realm than the Six Kings. Or rather, in the first place, the Gods themselves have little connection with the Human Realm.
While there have been recent instances of Gods, such as the White God Festival, showing a willingness to step up, and their involvement with the Human Realm and Demon Realm has increased compared to before, it was still an extraordinary situation for all the Supreme Gods to participate in a country’s Founding Festival.
[……Have you identified the reason why?]
[No, the information we’ve acquired are convoluted, so we’re still working out the details…… However, it’s a prompt report from a reasonably reliable source.]
“……………….”
In response to Camellia’s words, the subordinate who brought the information said that the details weren’t fully confirmed. In response, Lillywood remained silent for a moment before speaking.
“……Gather information on all those who would open up their stalls. This includes not only the registered stallowners, but also their collaborators…..”
[Stallowners?]
“Yes, if all the Supreme Gods are making their move, Shallow Vernal-sama definitely must be involved. Without specific instructions from Shallow Vernal-sama, it’s highly unlikely for all of them to attend a country’s Founding Festival. And when Shallow Vernal-sama makes her move, the main cause would definitely be Kaito-san.”
Of course, Lillywood also pays attention to information about the World’s Singularity, Kaito, but at this point in time, there was still no information about him opening a stall in Archlesia Empire.
“……It’s likely that Kaito-san himself isn’t running the stall. There should be another entity that opened their stall as a representative…… If someone one wouldn’t normally expect to open a stall at the Founding Festival is planning to open a stall, please investigate them in detail.”
[Understood. We’ll move at once!]
The reason why Lillywood hadn’t been able to obtain information until now was Amel. This is because when Amel applied to open their stall, she didn’t mention Kaito’s name and referred to him as “My Sworn Friend”.
Of course, Lillywood would have known she was referring to Kaito when she saw it herself, but even if her subordinates and followers in Archlesia Empire were to see this information, they wouldn’t realize this was Kaito, so no breaking news was circulated.
“……Things are becoming troublesome. Isis and the others will definitely react to this, but if they suddenly decide to participate now, it will cause a great uproar in Archlesia Empire…… On the other hand though, it would also be impossible to have that day arrive without them noticing…… Haahhh…… What should I do……”
As she thought of all the things that could happen and the things she would have to do, Lillywood held her head in her hands.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [Hou, the stomachache warriors are assembling…… Things are turning exciting.]
Serious-senpai : [Stop with the stomachache warriors.]
