ChapterC.1687: Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑨
<Author’s Notes>
I don’t have much time, so today’s chapter will be a bit short.
Walking out of the target shooting tent, I walked around the Founding Festival venue again hand in hand with Shiro-san. Incidentally, we scored more than a certain number of points in the target shooting, netting us an assortment of sweets as a prize.
As this is a hands-on event that children can also enjoy, the prizes are probably just a freebie. However, receiving an assortment of sweets like this strangely feels rather exciting, no matter how old you are.
As I was walking along with such a thought in mind, Shiro-san suddenly stopped and shifted her gaze.
[……Shiro-san? Is something the matter?]
[Ahh, no, it isn’t that big of a deal. However, it seems Olivia has arrived in the Royal Capital.]
[Eh? Ahh, Olivia-san huh…… Eh? Olivia-san!?]
Shiro-san mentioned it so casually that I just brushed it off, but the name was so unexpected that I turned back. When she speaks of an Olivia-san, she definitely must be referring to Friendship City’s Founder Olivia-san.
[Eh? Why is Olivia-san here at the Founding Festival?]
[I dunno? She’s a long distance away from Friendship City. Isn’t she here to go sightseeing?]
[I’m quite sure that isn’t the case.]
Olivia-san basically never goes out of Friendship City. The White God Festival was just a special case, as except for that, Olivia-san herself said that she doesn’t leave Friendship City unless Shiro-san is involved…… Ahh.
That’s right. Olivia-san is a religious person who has a strong faith in Shiro-san and prays to her whenever she has free time.
Based on my discussion with her during my previous visit to Friendship City, it seems that she occasionally goes outside the temple for things like lunch. However, the majority of her time is still devoted to prayers for Shiro-san.
And Olivia-san had also left the Friendship City to come to the God Realm during the White God Festival just to pray to Shiro-san. It’s easy to imagine what Olivia-san would do if she got information that Shiro-san had come to the Human Realm.
[This is just a guess, but didn’t she come to give her greetings to Shiro-san?]
[Fumu. I see.]
[It’s just, ummm, there’s something I want to confirm…… but Olivia-san’s abilities significantly decline outside the Founding Festival, right?]
[Yes, outside the Friendship City, she should be no better than an ordinary person. If she wanted to, she could return to the Friendship City instantly, so it wouldn’t be too much of a problem……]
Yes, Shiro-san doesn’t seem to care much about it, but that’s exactly the main problem. Olivia-san has tremendous power that rivals the Supreme Gods within the Friendship City, but once outside, she possesses only the physical strength of an ordinary person. I remember this well because she was feeling quite exhausted just by climbing up a gentle hill.
Now, if you ask me whether such an Olivia-san can meet up with us on her own at this Founding Festival, where there are so many people and where she needs a certain amount of physical strength to move around…… Well, I don’t think that’s possible.
[……Shiro-san, why don’t we go to where Olivia-san is for the time being? Olivia-san probably wants to say her greetings to Shiro-san……]
[I understand. Shall we go then?]
The only thing that worries me is that Olivia-san…… well, she probably can’t use Recognition Inhibition Magic outside of Friendship City, and with her not being very aware that she’s a celebrity to begin with, wouldn’t she have caused quite a commotion around her?
Somehow, the scene of Laguna-san and the others holding their stomachs coming to my mind was probably not just my imagination.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Now that Kaito mentioned it, she’s rather unreliable outside the Friendship City, and with the person herself having no idea she’s a celebrity, the stomachache power brought by such a situation must have been incredible……]
