Chapter 1645: Hydra Kingdom Founding Festival ⑩
While we were talking about all kinds of things, the Founding Festival ceremony had officially commenced. The ceremony began with a speech by the King, Laguna-san, followed by an introduction of the VIPs and brief greetings.
Though I say that, as one would expect, the attention of the gathered audience…… was focused on a large object placed on the stage in the center of the plaza, covered with cloth under tight security.
[……Neun-san, that message is absurdly large, isn’t it?]
[Yes, I carved letters onto a slab of magically reinforced ore created by Funf-sama’s Tempering Magic. The material and other aspects are different, but Laguna asked me to make it have a similar atmosphere to the one placed in the Hero’s Hill……] n)-𝔬.(𝑽(.𝗲/(𝐿)(𝐛-)I./n
[After this Founding Festival is over, she probably plans on putting it up somewhere and turning it into a tourist attraction, don’t you think? For someone who says she wanna quit being King, just as usual, she sure gives it her all when it comes to national interest~~]
The Hero’s Hill is also famous as a tourist attraction, and it’s said that many people visit the monument there every year. That’s how great the name value of the First Hero must be.
Although Laguna-san’s words confirmed the existence of the First Hero…… Whether the First Hero has returned to her original world and made contact with Laguna-san through some means, or remains in this world, possibly surpassing the lifespan of Humans through some method, is not clear. This ambiguity might spark lively discussions and various theories around again.
“Well then, there’s no point in putting on airs any further. Now, I will reveal the message from the First Hero, Kujou Hikari!”
With Laguna-san’s declaration, the cloth over the stone monument was removed, and the stone monument with Japanese characters…… otherworld script unknown to the audience.
Then, a woman who seemed to be in charge of reading the message, having received the Loudspeaker Magic Tool from Laguna-san, read out the content with a somewhat nervous look on her face.
“To everyone in Trinia, it’s Kujou Hikari. It seems that it has already been over a thousand years since I was summoned to this world, embarked on a journey, and concluded the Treaty of Friendship. While I hold this pen at Laguna’s request, many memories from that time come back to me, and I feel a sense of nostalgia. My battle was concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Happiness. I shall not return to the forefront again. However, I am truly delighted to see that all of you living in the present have inherited what I once wove, creating the peaceful and warm world I wished to see.”
Starting with such a preface, the message undoubtedly continued with Neun-san’s true feelings. The message being read aloud contains such a gentle sentiment, affirming that each and every one living in this world, keeping walking forward, is a hero in creating this peaceful world…… and many in the audience listened in silence.
Glancing to the side, I saw Neun-san gazing at such a scene…… at this world she once wished for and struggled to achieve, with a happy smile on her face.

Serious-senpai : [⑩…… This would end up like that, right? I mean, after reaching ?, it would be another subtitle…… This feels like the pattern where a subtitle focusing on lovey-dovey pops up, right? That’s definitely gonna happen…… Stop it……]
