After Lilia-san left, I continued talking with Amel-san and Roze-san at the stall. It seems that Roze-san originally came to visit my stall out of curiosity, and they don’t have much interest in the Foundation Festival itself. After browsing through the products at my stall and making a few purchases, they playfully climbed onto my shoulder and swayed their body, seemingly enjoying themselves.
(Roze, you see, loves this kind of festive atmosphere~~)
[I like it a lot too. Amel-san, Roze-san seems to like the festive atmosphere, how about you, Amel-san?]
[Being a Winged, I’m easily misunderstood, but I like this atmosphere too. This world in which I alone dances, merely observing the people gathering at the festival has changed. Even watching the scenery flow within a small box can be a delightful experience.]
(……World? Box?)[Amel-san is a Winged, a species that were enclosed from others, but she seems to like the atmosphere of festivals. However, it seems that Amel-san finds the experience fresh compared to when she simply participated in the festival or ran a stall like this.]
(Fumu fumu.)
Whoa there, this might be quite challenging, isn’t it? First of all, Amel-san cannot read Roze-san’s magic wavelength as a language. Therefore, I, who can recognize the magic wavelength as a language thanks to Shiro-san’s blessing and my Sympathy Magic, have to interpret for her.
And since Roze-san also couldn’t understand the meaning of Amel-san’s chuuni phrases, it’s necessary for me to interpret for her.
In other words, in order for these two to have a conversation, I have to step in between them and interpret each time, which is quite a hassle.
A solution would be for Amel-san to speak plainly, so I would only have to translate Roze-san’s words…… but well, Amel-san seems reluctant to reveal her true self, so I don’t think she’d willingly do that. Besides, the effort required for interpretation isn’t that much, so I’ll just take it easy and enjoy translating for the two while having a conversation with both of them.
In a luxurious room in the Imperial Castle, different from where the party is being held, Kaori and Akane looked nervous.[……How did this happen?]
[I can only say we had bad luck…… but it’s a good thing we didn’t have to attend the party. That party filled with nobles isn’t comfortable both for my mind and my stomach.]
[Akane-san, isn’t this a chance for you to get customers?]
[Our trading company isn’t aimed for the wealthy. Yeah, we may be able to expand our sales channels, but it won’t be that much~~ Basically, we are a type of trading company that handles wholesale deals, rather than handling expensive items.]
Though they were drawn into the festival due to Megiddo bringing them along with her, thanks to Chris’ consideration, the two of them didn’t participate in the palace party. Instead, they were able to take a break in a separate room.
Ideally, it would have been best for them if they could return after the ceremony. However, considering that Kaori coincidentally had a reunion with Chris, it felt like a missed opportunity to leave without even talking.
Of course, Chris being the Emperor couldn’t immediately make time to talk, so they agreed to do so after the party. Both of them had unintentionally drawn attention during the ceremony, and they were mentally exhausted, so they gratefully accepted Chris’ kindness and took a break in a separate room.
[Even so, Kaito sure is the type of person who influences those around him…… No, seriously, if we hadn’t found Kaito’s shop there and hadn’t coincidentally met War King-sama at that moment, this development wouldn’t have happened.]
[Seriously, what a stomach-churning boy he is…… However, I’m honestly glad I got to meet Chris, and it’s not like he intentionally did anything, so I can’t really complain.]
[Hmm, guess you’re right. From my perspective, our trading company has gained prestige, and considering that we were able to meet War King-sama, we’ve got significant positives. However,that doesn’t change the fact that my head and stomach hurts……]
In fact, Kaito’s influence is tremendous, but in the end, it generally turns out positively for those swept away by it. The same goes for Lilia, there is a high possibility that her connections with the aristocrats of the Arcresia Empire will increase due to this incident, and the advantages for her Duchy are significant.
The same also goes for Chris, as despite the unexpected incidents, the ceremony has become unprecedentedly high-profile with three Supreme Gods and three of the Six Kings in attendance. There’s also a high possibility of the overall prosperity of Archlesia Empire improving.
Yes, in a way, thanks to Kaito, numerous people have received tremendous benefits…… that is, only in exchange for stomachaches……
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [The contrast between the atmosphere of the Stomachache Warriors and Kaito remains as usual…… And indeed, in exchange for stomachaches, significant benefits have been granted…… It’s just, this is the type in which you exchange your stomach for profits……]
The manga’s Volume 8 will be released on July 25th. Here’s its cover image.
