Chapter 1637 Hydra Kingdom Founding Festival ②
Chapter 1637: Hydra Kingdom Founding Festival ②
After buying some food, I walked around the festival with Alice while eating. I purchased small fish skewers, and they tasted like sweetfish with just the right amount of saltiness, making them very delicious. The downside is that they’re large enough that one skewer fills me up quite a bit…… but well, Alice is eating them as if she’s gobbling yakitori from a bar……
[Come to think of it, Alice, there was someone around the Royal Capital’s entrance talking about some same-day tickets, but what was that about?]
[Ahh, those were tickets to see the Sea Dragon Parade at noon. It’s a popular event and tickets are usually sold out long before the event starts, but if stuff happened like cancellations or such, same-day tickets like those are sometimes sold at the entrance on the day of the event.]
[Sea Dragon Parade?]
[If I were to explain it in a very simple way, I guess it’s like a mikoshi or a lion dance. A large dragon model is carried through the streets by a large number of people. The Hydra Kingdom historically originated from several nations that came together to form a single country. On the day of Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival, there used to be a festival that originally extolled sea dragons, and due to this tradition, the Sea Dragon Parade became a part of the Founding Festival.]
[……Fumu. Why sea dragons?]
Come to think of it, I remember reading in a book that Hydra Kingdom was formed when several nations that had been badly affected by the invasion of the Demon Lord joined forces to create a coalition army.
[God of Ocean? Now that you mentioned it, I’ve met the God of Sky, Sky-san, and God of Earth, Gaia-san, but I haven’t met the God governing the seas.]
This is just my own impression, but I have this impression that the land, sea and sky were like a set of three, so now that she mentioned it, I couldn’t help wondering about it now.
No, well, putting aside Sky-san who was arranged to guide me, I just happened to meet Gaia-san back then, so it’s not really that strange that I haven’t met that God of Ocean but……
[Supreme Gods have two High-ranking Gods as their close confidants, and the God of Life, Life-san’s close confidants were Sky-san and Gaia-san. On the other hand, God of Ocean…… Marine-san is the third in the order of Life-san’s direct subordinates…… She comes right after Sky-san and Gaia-san in the hierarchy, but because she’s not considered a direct confidant, along with the fact that she doesn’t have any particular distinctive traits, she doesn’t stand out much. Well, the person herself is a reliable and sensible fellow though.]
Listening to Alice’s story, Camellia-san suddenly came to mind. Well, Camellia-san is World King’s Strongest Subordinate and a Super Maid, so she does have quite the distinctive traits…… but it seems that they share the common trait of not standing out much.
God of Ocean, Marine-san huh…… She sounds like an interesting person, so I’d like to get to know them someday.
<Afterword>
Makina : [God of Ocean Marine seemed like the excellent but inconspicuous type. Well, omniscient that I am, I can understand everything I want to know about her, but since she’s not my child, I have no interest in her.]
Serious-senpai : [Although she lacks individuality, she seems to be the competent type who gets her work done reliably…… She’s kinda like me.]
Makina : [……I feel like Serious-senpai has nothing but individuality…… There’s no way you can’t see yourself, right? Are you alright? Want to talk about my beloved child?]
