Chapter 1644: Hydra Kingdom Founding Festival ⑨
With an almost illegal move of renting out the House of Parliament, we became able to sit indoors and watch the ceremony.
I was worried that we might attract attention, but the windows of the House of Parliament were arranged like the magic mirrors in my previous world, so those outside were apparently unable to see inside. So, there’s no need to worry about drawing undue attention.
As we had expected, the plaza really was bustling with an overwhelmingly large crowd, seemingly as if the place was packed with people, making me really feel the high level of attention on this event.
[Ah, look over there, Kaito-san. There’s a gorilla over there.]
[Unnn? Ahh, it really is Megiddo-san…… Megiddo-san sure stands out.]
[Well, they’ve got a massive size after all.]
I had heard in advance that Megiddo-san, who has deep ties with Hydra Kingdom, and Lillywood-san, representing the Six Kings, would be in attendance, but Megiddo-san, who is well-known to the public as the War King, standing over 10 meters tall, was immediately recognizable as she attended the ceremony.
Thinking that the area she was in would be the VIP section, I looked at the area Megiddo-san was sitting…… I saw Lillywood-san, Pandora-san, Iris-san, Frea-san, Sechs-san and other people I know in attendance.
While I may not be that famous among the general public, it seems I’m recognized by nobles and people in high positions within each camp, including the Six Kings’ camps, so I suppose I would certainly be someone they’d want to invite as a participant.
Well, I’ve opened a stall for Symphonia Kingdom and Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festivals…… and besides, how should I say this…… I’m not a fan of overly formal events, so I wouldn’t really want to participate in such things even if I were invited.
However, hmmm…… If Ryze-san, Chris-san or Laguna-san asked me to attend an event…… With how much I’m indebted to them usually, I would probably nod my head in agreement.
[Incidentally, those kinds of stuff are handled by Alice-chan…… the others are also firmly keeping such things in check, so there are no such invitations. No, well, the ones who kept those in check were actually part of the inviters? as well…… so if Kaito-san were to express a desire to attend, I’m sure the other party would be overjoyed.]
[Hmmm. No, sitting in VIP seats like that is a bit…… That’s why I’m really glad you’re screening those stuff away. It really helps. By the way, those others you mentioned…… Who are they?]
[Some of Human Realm’s nobles were apparently traumatized by a certain dangerous God. In fact, they’re even more scared of her than Alice-chan’s restraints, so that’s why there’s no strange invitations being sent to Kaito-san’s place.]
[……Ahh.]
Indeed, she sure is dangerous…… Unnn. If one doesn’t follow her warnings, she certainly seems even more unforgiving than Alice, and even when she was just warning them, she had probably scared them already.
However, considering that it prevents strange invitations and other such things, that’s something I’m grateful about, so I can’t really reprimand her about this too strongly…… I wish she could be a bit lenient with them though…… Though asking her that is probably impossible.
<Afterword>
Makina : [My beloved child really is kind. He is indeed like the embodiment of mercy. Unnn. I suppose I should be considerate of my beloved child’s wish…… but that’s after I finish threatening all the nobles……]
