Around the time when the afterglow of the New Yearās festival disappeared, it was time for the luxury carriage, which had been parked in Polka for a long time, to turn the wheels again.
āNow, there is such a miraculous spring and my daughter. I think itās okay, butā¦be careful of your body, Angeā
āMother. I think itās a long way from coming casually, but once in a while you come to cureā
āI came here and my life has been extended by 20 years. Itās still some way to go before the goalā
Linda nods with her arms folded.
āWell, Iāve been able to do various thingsā
āDo various thingsā¦ā¦?ā
āN. Well, I found that itās difficult to move with just the money account. Fortunately, this Linda Neumann has something to move, though itās not a specialtyā
āI, Iām not sure, but donāt overdo it, motherā
āHaha, well, look at it, Ange. ā¦ā¦Smithson-san I entrust this child to youā
Linda laughs confidently and leaves. Sheās reliable, but Iām afraid she is going to do something.
āāāāāāāāāā
Less than a week later, the day finally came.
āIs this the Holy Beast Labyrinth? No, Iāve only heard rumors that there is a labyrinth in the northern forest, but this is a labyrinth that seems to be peaceful againā
āIt wasnāt peaceful at all. We didnāt do much because there were Dianne, Laila and Sir Bonaparteā
āNonetheless, it canāt be a dangerous labyrinth with so many people gathering at the entrance of the labyrinth. Iāve only seen such tension in the hot spring labyrinth in St. Gardoā
The day of the Holy Beast Festival dedicated to the holy beast. Riding on Maiaās carriage, we enter the field. It takes a little time to walk from the clan manor. It seems that the distance of three days at most is not so painful for an elf who lives in the forest, but even so, we do not feel like marching on foot for a while now. Maia is various.
āNaris, keep it modest. In front of Irina-sama and Andy Smithson, weāre treated as guestsā¦ā¦originally, the elves in the northern forest arenāt kind to anyone elseā
āYes, there are many elves in the south who are also difficultā
āWell, I think itās okay to trust it because itās what Al-chan, an affiliated store in the north, saysā
āIām not a shop!ā
This time, the distance is easy, so the Red Arm group also participated. Well, with dragon wings, it takes less than 3 hours to make a round trip. Even in the land where rare things happen, they came to feel free to do it. It is more fun to have various participants in the festival.
āApple, weĀ“re already here. Look, if it doesnāt work anymoreā
āIā¦ā¦Is that true?ā
Apple also participated this time. Itās been a long time since she rode on a dragon, but Iād like her to get used to air transportation. ā¦ā¦Others such as Irina, Anzeros and Keiron came also along.
āThen I will bring people againā
āThank youā
Maia takes off again with the carriage into the sky. At the request of Irina and Christie, personnel are transported alternately with Laila. For some reason, it seems that each clan is still loose in time and it seems that there are no end to the people who appear in the red clan manor today. Laila, Dianne and Christie are supposed to carry the rest of Aurora and Luna later, while grouping the latecomers. Yeah, the four elf girls who live in Polka also came with me. They will come with Laila soon.
āThere are a lot of clans that come to the orange or red clan and I wonder if itās necessary to pay attention to those who are asleep.ā
I say while looking around the people where Diel gathered. It seems to be worrisome that it cannot be accommodated in the village. But Irina looks at me.
āItās the first time, itās meaningless if you donāt think itās a festival worth going to again, rather than doing something stingy. If you imitate the stock going down, youāll immediately hit the spirit temple. Can you get it?ā
āThatās the case. ā¦ā¦Yes, when it comes to thousands of people, itās really a problem with where to sleep and how to cook. Only the ingredients are gatheredā
Thatās right. No matter how much the distribution volume increases due to the festival, it doesnāt mean that it will increase behind the scenes.
āThatās all you have to do is make it for each person in the name of a offeringā
āIs it okay to expose such a place on the day?ā
āItās better than going back and forth with one food. Originally, elves are a race that coexists with the forest and itās shameful that someone has to cook even though there are ingredientsā
āMuuā¦ā¦I canāt help it, do you go on that line?ā
Diel reluctantly goes to the announcement. ā¦ā¦Well, but.
āI think offering food is a good excuse, white chiefā
āBreakcoreā
After a long time, Breakcore in one-horned horse mode appeared above the entrance to the labyrinth. The elves around all cut the mark of blessing and start chanting the scriptures.
āI donāt need it yet. Save it until the festival beginsā
Breakcore stopped with the sound of a hoof and jumped from above the entrance to the ground.
āIn any case, I donāt need any material satisfaction, including food. However, it is difficult to shape feelings only by words. Show my heart and actually eat for yourselves. Itās a good eventā
āI will show off as a clan chiefā
Irina stretches her chest out proudly.
āā¦ā¦Itās an absolute thoughtā
Almeida hit the back of my head with the tip of her iron staff when I said that.
āThink about reputation. Itās not something you think aboutā
It hurt a little when told by Almeida, the representative of people who canāt read the air.
āā¦ā¦Dark green clanĀ“s dancing spear. Does that implicitly agree with you?ā
āHa, a, no, thatās rightā
Almeida becomes flustered. She desperately asks for help with her eyes, but I donāt know.
āAfter all, Al-chan must be like thisā
āRightā
The Red Arms are soothing.
āI donāt need to reflectā¦ā¦?ā
āI have a good idea, white clan chiefā
āWa, Wait a minute, Irina-sama, Holy Beast-dono!?ā
Irina pulls the iron cane and Breakcore holds Almeidaās neck.
āWhat are you going to do!?ā
āAsk the holy beastā
āBurururuā
Breakcore appealed with a snort that she couldnāt speak. She is taken straight to BreakcoreĀ“s dwelling hut.
And.
āā¦ā¦I just rebuked Andy Smithson, didnāt Iā¦ā¦ā
Almeida, who makes an unfaithful voice, was dressed in a pure white ornate dress, probably tailored for the Holy Beast.
āIt looks good, Al-chanā
āYeah. Almeida-san is a beautiful woman, so youāll be happy. *Laugh, laugh*ā
āWhy are you guys doing that nasty laugh!ā
Almeida turns bright red and resists the mental attacks of her two colleagues.
āIf you look like that, you canāt go wildā
āActually, that elf is beautiful just by looking. And if the atmosphere is feminineā¦ā¦I know why you decided to polish herā
āIām the perfect victim of that guy!? I didnāt wear a collar to polish myself separately!?ā
āUmmā
āUmmā
The horse and the little girl nodded plausibly, but I donāt think they understood it.
So. The reason why Breakcore is in one-horned horse mode is that it seems that Breakcore needs to come out in this style regarding the opening ritual.
āThis is the procedure that was completed yesterdayā
Irina unfolds and reads the scroll that Breakcore dexterously stabbed out of the hut at her horn. And a delicate face.
āā¦ā¦I have trained Smithson-dono with the intention of only speakingā
āItās not that hard, is it?ā
āIf I read it, Iāll do it. ā¦ā¦The procedure has changed. Smithson-dono, it seems that itās not enough to just repeat my wordsā
āE, Eh!?ā
Thatās a problem. I canāt do that at all even if Iām told to cut the mark.
āI canāt do anything difficult ā¦ā
āFor now, have you ever touched a bow?ā
āā¦ā¦A long time ago, I just touched itā
I pulled it a little in the aptitude test before being incorporated into the Celesta army (I could have been incorporated into the archer corps if I was good, but I could not aim properly due to lack of strength) and after joining the crossbow corps, I happened to be in the warehouse of the corps I just pulled it out for fun.
āNuu. ā¦ā¦Holy beast, itās going to be pretty awkwardā
āItās okay. Iāll adjust it on the spotā
ā?ā
What are you going to let me do?
After Laila drops the four hot spring girls, Aurora and 100-man commander Becker, the opening ceremony, which is my biggest showcase, begins. Iām too unfashionable in my usual everyday clothes, so before I knew it, I wore a robe with fine embroidery that was prepared for me and I put a crown with various decorations on my head. It doesnāt look like an aristocrat, but itās a little different from an actor. Anyway, I decided to stand in front of the elves in a state that didnāt suit me. Irina is right next to me and in the audience seats I can see Gorkus, Diel, green clanĀ“s Shaquille and blue clanĀ“s Vois. Meanwhile, I was excited and began to recite the elf language whispered in my ears with an illusion without understanding the meaning.
Along the way, Irina suddenly stops her words and switches to northwest.
(Listen by repeating)
āFukushi⦠tsu, gefunā
I couldnāt respond to what I was told for a moment and I was about to repeat Irinaās words as they were and it became a mistake. Irina utters her words again, as she is a little disappointed with it.
(From here on, itās a theatrical style with demonstrations. Instructions are spoken in human language. If you hear elf language, repeat it as it is, okay? If you understand, take the bow at your feet)
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
As Irina says, I take a bow. There is only one arrowā¦I put it together. And to say a few lines, one-horned horseā¦ā¦Breakcore runs from the forest. Shā¦ā¦She also shouted something in elf language. I also say something back to her. Itās Irinaās words, so I donāt understand the meaning.
(Hold the arrow)
ā!?ā
To who!?? ā¦ā¦I didnāt mean to say it, but Irina was instant.
(Breakcore. Aim at her throat)
Seriously? ā¦ā¦I think, but Irina has no reason to avenge Breakcore, so Iāll do it. As it is, two or three words. It wasnāt such a strong bow, but itās still not something that an unfamiliar person can keep pulling. My arms are a little numb. Breakcore shouts something more, hits the ground with her hooves and seems to start running here. Iām desperate to keep the string. For some reason, everyone in the audience is holding their breath.
(Now. When Breakcore starts running, shoot)
ā!?ā
Breakcore, as the word says, starts running towards me.
(If possible, remove it a little. If you pass by the side of her neckā¦ā¦if it looks like youāve shot her, youāre successful)
Oh. In other words, IĀ“m imitating shooting Breakcore. I was surprised. ā¦ā¦But my arms are at their limit and Breakcore rushes into me from the corner in a few seconds. There is no time to calm down.
ā¦ā¦Release the hand. The arrow pierced Breakcoreās neck.
āAhā
Involuntarily raise a voice. Breakcore vomits blood and collapses. ā¦ā¦And.
(Itās a line. Iāll repeat it soon)
But there is an arrow in Breakcore“s throat!
(She is not going to die if you cut off her head anyway! Donāt panic, itās acting that she fell down)
ā¦ā¦Thatās right. After reciting a few lines, Breakcore is wrapped in light and slowlyā¦ā¦becomes a human, female figure and gets up. And she approaches me while talking gently to me in elf language. By the way, she is naked, is that okay? I was stunned to say something back in elf language and Breakcore grabbed my hand.
Great cheers.
Standing ovation while the elves shed tears.
āā¦ā¦Whatās going on, this?ā
āI summarized your activity last year and made it look like a playā
āI feel that I have a considerable unreasonable summaryā¦ā¦ā
I donāt even remember the scene I played at all.
āBut itās not wrong, right, whiteā
āItās not a big deal. Itās not really a big dealā
While waving with Breakcore with a friendly laugh, Iām sure that a tremendous message game-like arrangement was added.
āThe ritual was wonderful! Itās natural that the holy beast would fall in love with the animal trainer!ā
āIām convincedā¦ā¦not only a dragon rider, but he is also a really amazing animal trainerā
A friendly laugh at the impressions of Savory and Laurier. I would like to know the meaning if possible.
āAre you sure? Did you really do that?ā
āNaris-chan, it seems that the holy beast herself was directingā¦ā¦right? And 10-man captain Smithson, is a quote makerā
Tetes follows up with the suspicious Naris. I mean, Tetes, you understand elf language.
āā¦ā¦Well, thatās the scope of the productionā¦ā¦ā
āPrincess. Did he really imitate that? Reallyā
āThatās why itās a range of directions. Well, if Andy-san comes to the pointā¦ā¦heāll say that muchā
Almeida rushes to Aurora, who says something bland with a subtle smile.
āAurora, tell me. What was that? What cool thing did I do?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āAurora!ā
Didnāt tell her. Thanks to that, I think Iāve become someone who makes a super vague laughter to all the elves who come to say hello.
However, the Holy Beast Festival began with such a ritual.
