That day, Leather Street in 3rd Avenue was so crowded that people packed it, it was crowded and suffocating.

Scratching that crowd, a luggage truck, decorated with cloth and loaded with tightly packaged crates, leads the clergy through the streets, sandwiched by armed and resilient men. The men are men of a first-class clan swordtooth regiment among the city's adventurers.

Citizens of high faith offer their prayers unexpectedly to what is loaded in their cargo, and the curious whisper with excitement.

Anyway, the dedication from this city to the Cardinals has been constant for over 80 years.

The honor of the handyman is also that of the citizens of the city.

The line of people surrounding the offerings to the Cardinal is uninterrupted, and it continues to connect to the Cathedral.

Because the Cathedral, a period usually closed, is specially opened, thanks to the work of the leading priests who stay in the city.

Few things were loud and noisy, but the citizens accepted a queue of strictly guarded offerings as part of a sacred ritual and continued to travel with Zorozolo.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

I walked beside the cardinal's shoe-loaded luggage and couldn't hide my nervousness while smiling.

What I suggested to Michelino Festival was that the delivery itself would be made into a sort of ritual.

Doing so makes it harder to raid secretly because it concentrates citizens' eyes, and raiders are more at risk of buying citizens' objections.

It may also be possible to disperse and raid on the citizens, but it will be difficult to break through the walls of a regiment of swordtooth soldiers who are good at marching in groups and maintaining formation.

Besides, having the clergy take the lead makes the raid, that is, hostility to the Church.

If the opponent appeals to the dark means of conspiracy and assassination, this one should stand in a thoroughly bright spot and fight with the power to appeal to people.

Most importantly, it suits me and Jilboa's nature better.

Thanks to the citizens surrounding us, the queue quickly reached the square in front of the cathedral, even as it proceeded loosely.

At the entrance to the cathedral, a priest Nicolo dressed in rare and flashy attire waited, following the priests on the facade, and the queue stared at the ritual in such a way as to surround us and the priests, in a way as to paint a circle with nature.

As head of the Cardinal's shoe production, I walk over to Priest Nicolo and kneel at his feet.

In contrast, it appears that Priest Nicolo raised one hand and uttered some blessing.

When the surrounding hedgerows raised their faces and said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Does this mean that we have received a blessing?

Thus the cargo vanished to the back of the cathedral, towed by the priests beside the priest Nicolo, and the ritual of delivery ended.

"Oh my God, it's finally over"

Anne, who's in charge of publicity, said I was calming down in the office and getting Sarah to brew tea and rest.

"Kenji, you're such an idiot! You can't just make all this noise and do it for free!

I wasn't sure what Anne meant, so I blinked my eyes and stared at Anne.

Sure, I may not be sorry, but the Cardinal is a little ahead of us to unveil the pioneer's shoes, so why don't we just sit back and have some tea?

Anne then stepped on her feet in frustration.

"Oh, already! You did it to the citizens of the city, and my workshop is for the Cardinals, just like you advertised it out loud! People from all over the city are going to push us over!

If you say that and look outside the workshop from the gap in the office, you can see people surrounding outside the workshop.

I simply thought that the excitement of the queue was soaking in the aftermath of the noise.

"... those large crowds, are you a little customer?

"Yes! So just think of something depressing!

That said, Anne slapped my ass hard.
