Flying Whale’s Wonderful Life – I who has fused with an Invincible Weapon from the Age of Gods will build a city on my back –

"I think music is necessary."

I was talking to her about the festival idea at Sena's house.

The two essential elements of the festival are sake and music. Looking back on the past, there was no festival where these two did not exist.

In the first place, a festival is a prayer to God, a ritual.

The main purpose was a fertility prayer, which stemmed from a human attempt to control nature through the festival. At the heart of prayer is a desire, after all.

In addition, since rituals also have the purpose of connecting humans to God, alcohol and music that uplift the spirit were indispensable.

Although it is a memorial festival in the absence of God, it will not be possible to omit those that have been regarded as important since ancient times in order to be called a festival.

"If possible, I would like to have a concert at the opening and closing times."

"Is it a concert? I think we need music for the festival, but don't have enough time to open something big?"

Kazuno: "Are you good at music? I'm going to use their power."

Horned people are animals with horns and hooves that resemble herbivores such as sheep, cows, goats, and deer. Except for the cat horns and hooves, the figure is similar to a human. They have a hobby in the depths of the forest, playing music with homemade instruments. So if they leave the festival music, they will be the only ones.

"Oh, you sure are, but only three people?"

Kazuno: "Three people are very familiar with the music itself, but there are a few others who can play instruments, and some are good at singing."

"Eh, what is it ?! It's my first ear."

I smiled and nodded at Senna's surprise.

"He spoke at the sake table. Everybody has a trick."

"Hey, was that so? I'm going to open a concert."

"Yeah, it should be fine. And then-"

Sena also offers a variety of other ideas, and Senna puts them together. On the way, Senna said:

"Would you like to clarify the theme of the festival anyway? I think it would be easier to select ideas."

"It's a theme. At the moment, it's just the first anniversary of the city. For example, what should I do?"

"What about this?"

Say, Senna begins to paint on her tablet. The skill was much better than before, and the image in Senna's head soon became a detailed picture.

The painted picture is a scene during the festival, and the details of the store opening and decoration are also concrete. The overall feel is somewhat fancy or childish.

"Eh, I guess it's all about putting the child in the main?"

"Yes! That's what it is!"

Sena was passionately affirmed and continued.

"Because, as Mr. Quito said, this festival has no gods to pray. So, if we thought about who to pray instead, we think that the future of our children is good. It's just "

"Hey, the future of the children."

"I think the most important thing in keeping this festival a long tradition is that there are people who will take over it. Become"

I was deeply impressed by Senna's words. Sure, that's right.

No matter how luxurious the festival is, it will soon go out of service if no one keeps it as a tradition. Then it is the right choice to put those who will take over first.

If they were impressed and pleased, we would naturally want to leave behind even if we weren't forced.

"I think it's a great theme. Alright, let's go."

"Is it true?"

I smiled at Sena, who was pleased with her hands, feeling deeply emotional. Senna has grown as a leader in the city.

"But if you follow Sena's theme, don't be too busy making decorations."

"Everyone works hard. Thanks to the stability of my life, there seems to be a lot of power. I will be glad to cooperate."

"I see, I have to work immediately."

Senna laughed, "I see."

†

The proposed festival at the meeting was approved with a fervent welcome.

No one objected to the theme, and the festival preparations went smoothly. Each department has its own department, and the responsible person has been decided.

I and Senna are in charge of controlling the whole while checking the progress of each department. Busy enough to look around every day, but challenging.

Even that day, I was running around between the department heads. When I run, I suddenly find Islafil ahead.

Moreover, he rarely walked alone without straddling the ballerina. I have a fishing rod and a bucket, so I'm going to go cloud fishing.

According to the report of Varena, Islafil is also familiar with the city. It was good to pass, but I was worried.

"Oh, one person is unusual."

As I called out, Islafil glanced at him without stopping.

"... Is it bad to be alone?"

"That's not it. What happened to the ballerina?"

"……over there"

Looking in the direction that Islafil indicated on his chin, he found a bruised ballerina surrounded by children. I felt like I was asked for help for the first time, but I think it's probably because of that.

I kept talking while walking beside Islafil.

"So why don't you fish alone? What about these days?"

"……usually"

"It's normal ... but I've been worried about it before."

"……what?"

"You're on good terms with Varena. Why?"

"Why didn't you come in as a caretaker?"

"... Well, that's right, but it looks like the horses are still matching."

"that is--"

"that is?"

"Why?"

As Islafil leans her head, I'm sulking.

Apparently, he doesn't know anything about the identity of Varena. So, isn't it Metatron after all?

"Is that the story? Is it going?"

"Well, there's no other story ..."

I know the schedule is tight so I should move right away. However, something is trapped in Islafil today. I didn't know the answer, so I was frightened, so I followed Islafil.

Islafil didn't show any dislikes even though I was on, but he doesn't seem to have a conversation. As I walked silently, I saw the end of a toy spider, a fishing spot for cloud fish.

The end of the toy spider was once empty, but now it has scaffolding and fences to keep people from falling.

Although it was set to automatically raise by gravity operation even when a person fell, many voices said that they were uneasy without a fence.

Islafil arrived at the fishing spot and cast a bucket. A red magic stone lure draws an arc and lands on the sea of clouds.

The technique of turning the reels around while shaking the poles and appealing to make the cloud fish easy to bite was quite good even from the side. This alone tells us that he was working seriously.

I couldn't catch it once, so I repeated the casting twice and three times, but again, there was no hit.

Islafil tilts his head to another point. I followed my back and leaned my head for another reason.

Why is this thing so worrisome only for today? Ummm, it's strange. Is this really love?

No, not really.

Islafil is a dragon. It is not a love target. Gabriel, his mother, exiled the Balaur and became a human, but since she was a young girl, she wasn't attracted to anything. Rather, it's a story that if you find something that is fascinating, it's dangerous.

So what am I worried about?

Let's observe Islafil again and again. Well, as usual, she's a blond little girl in a blue dress.

What's weird about

"Oh oh oh!"

I thought there wasn't, but there was. Yes, there was clearly something different in Islafil.

"Israfil, you!"

As I point and scream, Islafil turns around and grin grin.

"Huh, finally noticed or fool"

In short, Islafil peeked from the hem of the dress with a tail wrapped in white scales.
