In this world, it might be obvious, but there’s no such thing as online shopping. So, when you want to shop for sothing, you have to go directly to the store.
Well, it seems that so nobles summoned rchants to their hos…… but anyhow, I often go shopping and have beco quite familiar with the streets near my house.
But today, the atmosphere sohow seed different. It’s difficult to describe, but it felt more restless than usual. I an, this place had always been lively, but today seed a little different.
It feels strange, but then I rembered that Elise-san’s store was nearby, so I decided to drop by.
Since Elise-san has a store on this street, she might have so idea of why it feels strangely different.
Gathering my thoughts, I arrived in front of Elise-san’s store, just in ti for her door to open and Elise-san to appear…… with a blatantly displeased look on her face.
[……Geh, it’s Human-san…… What timing for you to arrive.]
[U- Unnn? Errr, hello.]
[Yes, yes, hello…… Get out of the way.]
[Ah, yes.]
After she moved aside with her usual unwelcoming treatnt, Elise-san put a sign on the door of the store. The sign read “Temporarily closed today”.
[Ahh, are you going out sowhere? If so, I apologize.]
[It’s not that I’m going out sowhere…… Ahh, fine. Just get inside the door quickly.]
[Eh? Can I co in?]
[You’re gonna be in the way if you just stand there.]
I thought about leaving because it sounded like the timing of my visit was quite bad……. but it seed like she would still let in the store. For the ti being, I nodded to Elise-san’s words and entered the restaurant.
[I’m going to brew so coffee, so just sit down.]
[T- Thank you.]
H- Hmmm, the tone of her voice sounded really unwelcoming, but in reality, that was how I normally interacted with her.
The feelings conveyed by my Sympathy Magic also told that she doesn’t dislike .
[So, what is it this ti?]
[Ahh, no, I was just in the neighborhood, so I thought I’d drop by…… Elise-san, errr, since you closed up shop temporarily, you must have sothing to do, right?]
[Well, I guess you could say I have an errand to run. I planned to prepare for setting up my own stall this afternoon, so I decided to close temporarily for half a day.]
Elise-san explained as she placed a cup of coffee in front of . A stall? I rember that she had a stall back at the White God Festival, and since we first t at the Six Kings Festival, she may have set up quite a few stalls like that.
[Heehhh, when you say stall…… Does that an there’s going to be another festival sowhere?]
[……What the heck are you saying, Human-san…… That doesn’t sound like you’re saying a rather boring gag…… You’re seriously saying that?]
[Eh? Errr……]
She’s looking at with an outrageously astounded expression on her face!? Eh? What’s going on?
As I was puzzled, Elise-san let out a light sigh and spoke.
[Rather than there being a festival sowhere, you do know about “Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival”, right? It’s gonna be held here, in the royal capital.]
[I- Is that so!?]
[……You seriously didn’t know about that? Ahh, co to think of it, Human-san has just co back from the other world for about 2 years. The Founding Festival isn’t held during the year of the Festival of Heroes, so I guess this will be your first Founding Festival huh.]
[Yes, errr…… I had been thinking the atmosphere on the streets was a little different from usual, but I see, they were preparing for the Founding Festival.]
[It’s going to be held at the end of the month. Even though there are still a few days before it’s held, everyone is starting to get ready for the festival.]
I see, it was the Founding Festival huh…… I had only heard about it being ntioned in passing, but I didn’t know it was coming up soon. Well, when it’s going to be held at the end of the month, there are still more than 20 days before it, so perhaps Lilia-san and the others were planning to tell us when it got closer.
However, I guess that ans that Elise-san and the others who would be setting up their stalls would need to get ready soon……
[……If you want, why don’t you open up your own stall too, Human-san? Even commoners can open a stall if they apply for it…… Well, it would be a big mistake to count Human-san as a commoner……]
[A stall of my own huh…… I see, that certainly sounds like fun.]
[……I may have said sothing unnecessary. If you’re really gonna set up your stall, I hope you will build it sowhere as far away as my stall as possible. I’d like to excuse myself from all your unnecessary ruckus.]
Putting aside Elise-san’s harsh words, opening a stall could be interesting. I could probably make yakisoba or sothing like that, or perhaps, I could ask soone to help out and we could work in a stall together.
It kinda reminds of a Cultural Festival, so it feels like it will be fun. I don’t think I really participated back when I was a student, so I’m slightly attracted by the idea of doing this.
Hmmm, maybe I should think about this earnestly……
Demon Realm : [ ! ? ]
God Realm : [ ! ? ]
Human Realm : [ ! ? ]
Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital : [……It’s over now…… It’s the end……]
Symphonia King : [……What is this? This chill I just had in my stomach……]
