After watching the Sea Dragon Parade, we immediately headed to the plaza in front of the House of Parliament where the ceremony was to take place. To be honest, we didnāt have much time to spare.
The Sea Dragon Parade is one of the many events of the Founding Festival, and since itās not a government-led event specifically linked to the ceremony, thereās not much time in between.
If we want to watch the Sea Dragon Parade at the end of the procession, we will not make it in time for the start of the ceremony.
Well, I think that the main purpose of those who are going to the ceremony isnāt the ceremony itself but the message of the First Hero, so we may actually have some time if we only focus on that aspect.
[ā¦ā¦No, I mean, there sure are a lot of people. Seriously, itās like itās some grand migrationā¦ā¦]
[Youāre right. F- For there to be this many peopleā¦ā¦ As expected, wouldnāt moving through them be difficult? It feels like even moving just a few meters would be rough.]
To be honest, as is the case with Neun-san, the person involved in this matter, I might have underestimated the name value of the First Hero a little. The main street was crowded with people like us, heading towards the ceremony, and with the way things are going, I didnāt feel confident that we would reach the Parliament Plaza by the start time.
The content of the message itself would probably be introduced in various magazines after the Founding Festival, but there seemed to be a huge number of people who wanted to see the moment of the announcement on the spot.
[Unnn? Alice, that isnāt the way toā¦ā¦]
Guided by Aliceās voice, I moved my gaze and saw Alice pointing to a path away from the main street. Compared to the main street, there were noticeably fewer people on that path, so this path clearly didnāt lead to the plaza. In fact, the direction the path is heading to seemed to lead further away.
As I tilted my head at her suggestion, I followed Alice and walked along the road with few pedestriansā¦ā¦ and arrived at a dead-end with only a wall in it.
Well, if the destination is a dead-end, itās no wonder thereās little foot traffic here, but just as I was wondering what was going on, Alice walked towards the wall. As Alice approached the wall, vertical lines of light ran along it, and something resembling an entrance opened up.
[ā¦ā¦Unnn? Could that be Gluttony-sanās?]
[Yes, well, I could do this myself, but they get so happy when I let them do the work in this kind of situationā¦ā¦]
Gluttony-san is one of her fanatics after allā¦ā¦ Theyāll definitely be very happy to be of service to Alice. In any case, by looking at that pathway, I could sense what she was planning. Itās difficult to navigate through that crowd, so weāre going to use Gluttony-sanās Space-Time Magic for transportation.
With the Founding Festival around, Hydra Kingdom would normally have a strong Teleportation Inhibition Barrier, but it seems that those who are extremely good at Space-Time Magic, such as Gluttony-san, can ignore those barriers and teleport.
As a side note, itās said that even those who are skilled in Teleportation Magic canāt break through the single Teleportation Inhibition Barrier in the Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary is a special place that canāt be reached without Shiro-sanās permission, and unless they are on par with individuals like Kuro or Eden, it seems like you canāt even pursue the path toward the Sanctuary without Shiro-sanās permission.
[ā¦ā¦However, even if we were to use this to get to the vicinity of the venue, it would probably be quite crowded, but is there a space for us to get in now?]
[Ah, guess youāre right. It should be even more crowded over there than the street we just left.]
[Well, it should be alright. Thereās no way that Alice-sama hasnāt thought about that, so we can just pass through without worries.]
In response to Neun-san and my question, Hapti-san relaxedly entered the glowing gate-like entrance, to which Neun-san and I exchanged glances before entering as well.
Squinting our eyes slightly due to the brightness, we passed through the gate and arrivedā¦ā¦ in what seemed to be a large room.
[Arehh? Indoors? ā¦ā¦Is this some kind of conference room?]
[ā¦ā¦A- Alice-sama? Are we inside the House of Parliament?]
[Thatās right. You can see the whole view from here.]
[ā¦ā¦I think the House of Parliament was off-limits during the Founding Festival, even to their own staff thoughā¦ā¦]
[Do you really think I canāt handle something like that? Donāt worry, Iāve reserved this place properly through the official procedures.]
[Well, that was a pointless questionā¦ā¦]
In response to Aliceās composed reply, Neun-san has a distant look in her eyes, a resigned look on her face. Well, it certainly isnāt surprising if Alice can reserve the House of Parliament.
According to what Laguna-san said, Alice should have already gained control of the majority of the parliament members, and if she just so wishes, she can apparently change the laws of Hydra Kingdom as she pleasesā¦ā¦ Hmmm, thatās astounding.
[Nice! Now this is what weāre talking about, Alice-sama! In that case, I can sit on a chair and watch from a good spot. Letās see, which oneās a good chairā¦ā¦]
[Canāt you at least be a little perturbed!?]
No, wellā¦ā¦ That person youāre talking to is also Alice soā¦ā¦
Serious-senpai: [The tempo is too fastā¦ā¦ This isnāt good, I feel like I can see through the Authorās intentions to quickly finish off the essential events and move on to the sweet developmentsā¦ā¦]
