I'll drop off the crocodiles for the ceremony, kill some time, and then I'll head outside too.

The ceremony itself takes place in a square with this central tower, so it's very easy to just go outside from the ground floor.

The truth is, I was going to join Lilia and the others first, but they've got quite a few of them together, albeit by invitation. So since it seems difficult for Lilia to rendezvous before the ceremony, Hummingbird has given me a place to rendezvous after it's over, so I decide to see the ceremony by myself.

After traveling in the magic formation for transfer, when I went outside the central tower...... there was an awesome sight spread out there.

A tremendous number of participants… some giants are a few meters away, others have a small race like the fairies, more busy than the temple we visited previously with blessings.

But if you think about it, it's a festival to be held with all of this disastrous and vast city, and it's convincing that when its participants gather in one place, it becomes a sight like this.

However, if you look closely, there are not many people near the central tower. I mean, isn't this, like, off-limits to where I am right now?

... Let's move quickly.

Being aware that I was obviously standing somewhere people were avoiding, I tried to make my way to the people trash a little further away, but at that time I heard a familiar voice.

"Mr. Kite!

"Huh? Mr. Lilia?

Looking back, Mr. Lilia was approaching us with a small wave.

"Is that it? It's hard to rendezvous..."

"No, that's right. Apparently, the rank of the invitations determines the location of the ceremony."

"Really?

"Yes, only those with invitations above the Gold Rank near this central tower, and those accompanying them and those below are not allowed in before that flag position," he said.

If I hear more from Lilia, who joined me, it seems that this huge square is a kind of junction in itself, limiting the position where he can enter by invitation.

I see, that's why there are so few people near the central tower...

"So I left that to Luna and Sieg, and I came to rendezvous with Mr. Kite"

"I appreciate it. To be honest, I'm anxious I don't see anyone I know..."

I really appreciate Mr. Lilia joining me and I feel a little easier. At a time when I opened my mouth to convey that thought, I heard something else.

"... hmm? The young man there..."

"To?"

Turning his gaze to those who spoke, there was a mermaid tribe with marine blue hair...... His Majesty Ragna, who had helped me in the matter of Dr. Fia some time ago.

"Oh! Again, kite to Miss Lilia!

"This, Sire Ragna"

"Oh, Miss Lilia. Not since that one, no - I thought about it then, but you lifted your arms a lot? The most powerful name in the world will be taken to Miss Lilia if you stay alert."

"No, I'm still a young man, such as myself. His Majesty Ragna doesn't have it yet."

When His Majesty Ragna sees us, he approaches with a delightful grin and exchanges words gently with Mr. Lilia.

... I mean, that? Did I give this guy a name? No, well, I've become a lot of fame unwillingly, and it's not weird to know?

Right, well, more than that, I got to see you because of... let me thank you for the help you gave me then.

"Uh, Sire Ragna. Nice to meet you, my name is Hayato Miyama. Thank you for your help the other day."

"Yeah? What, never mind!" My Lord and I will always be able to help you... but please don't talk in any other way, Ragna. "

"... to?

Is that it? Something, Sire Ragna... No, isn't Mr. Ragna's reaction strange? It's almost supposed to be the first time we've met, but you're probably comfortable... talking like we've met before.

Reacting to Mr. Ragna's words, Lilia's eyes narrowed softly, but I shook my head to the side in a hurry. No, I wasn't really hiding it from Lilia, and I don't know!!

When I tell Lilia that with my bare hands, she apparently understands, and Lilia tilts her neck.

"... uh, Sire Ragna? Is His Majesty acquainted with Mr. Kite?

"Oh well, we fought strong enemies together... so to speak, we're not comrades! No - I thought he was a good guy from then on, but I liked him more and more on the one thing ahead! Ugh, kite. Still coming to my son-in-law 'like I said before'?

"... what? Huh? Yes, no, wait a minute!? To Ragna... and I... about Dr. Feea, I've never seen you before, have I?

"... what? Oh, oh, yeah!

I really didn't understand Mr. Ragna's words and when I rushed back to him, Mr. Ragna gave me a strange look... a little bit and slapped my hand as I noticed something.

"That's right, I'm sorry. I don't think so with this look... I'm a crocodile who fished with me in the Hydra Kingdom!

"... Huh?

"No - I forgot I changed my appearance!

"Yeah yeah!? Oh, Grandpa then!?

"Uhm!"

While staying in Hydra Kingdom, my grandfather talked to the public while fishing almost every morning. Because it felt so great, I thought you were a senator... but Mr. Ragna was changing his appearance...

Oh, I see... we fought strong enemies together, you mean fish.

"... Mr. Kite. Where should I turn this emotion right now? It's not like Mr. Kate was lying... but in the end I was seeing him... he was already completing the top of the Three Worlds... Mr. Kate... no fear"

"Yes, no, I don't know... I'm so sorry"

Dear Mother, Father - Yeah. What Lilia feared as a result was a complete hit. No, it's not a matter of me getting mad about this one, but no, but something - I'm sorry.
