"Are you OK?"

The consciousness might have gone away until Walrus called out.

"Oh no, it was a bit shocking ..."

I didn't want to report it to God, and when I cleaned up Walrus's room, I left the room without seeing the young statue of God.

"What did I keep being deceived by?"

What were the gods for me? Client? The benefactor who picked me up? When I came to this world, I was barely involved, but the gods suddenly appeared in front of me. Did you just become a more convenient person because of the higher level? What did I consider my mission to be?

"In such a case, should we marry Melissa? You might have been dating Thione or Irene. What was Sarah ...?"

I stopped in the middle of the hallway and exhaled greatly.

"I wish I could just ignore the voices of the gods and live as much as I like ... This is more of a fool than a good person."

Your life is yours. It doesn't matter if you're picked up or blessed. Because I stand in this world on my own feet, I am responsible. I was stunned by my stupidity.

"They are swept away and have no will of their own. Well, this is what the president was doing."

Every time she sighs, she sighs at her stupidity and sighs every time she sighs. If you want to cry but shed tears, you will be more miserable.

"I came to the end of the world without any will."

If everything was stupid, footsteps approached from far away.

"Naoki! What are you doing?"

It's a sea lion face Otari. I helped clean the telescope before.

"I just felt the sunshine of my life"

"Hey ... can you help me prepare for the festival?"

I don't know what it's like, but I might have seen me and talked to me. I followed Otari in a way that pushed me to youth.

"What kind of festival is it?"

"It's the summer solstice. It's also a coming-of-age ceremony. This Polar tribe is called the" Kusin Festival "."

“The summer solstice has changed for the coming-of-age ceremony”

"Because the sun never goes down in the night, I think that you can drink as much as you want."

I don't think there's anything scarier than an endless banquet. What if you have a song you shouldn't sing, or a word you shouldn't say? I suddenly remembered a short story from the previous world. Suddenly you become a suspicion, and you only make bad imaginations.

"Well, you can see if you look at it."

Otally laughed and went out of the base.

Outside the base, where short flowers are growing, fur-laden Polar youths were already preparing. Everyone is working from time to time looking up at the sky.

"What comes from the sky?"

I asked Otally.

"It's the opposite. I'm pointing to the sky. Everyone is watching the wind and the clouds."

Polar youngsters are measuring the distance with a string to find something to build on the ground and laying a sign stone.

"What is that doing?"

"I'm drawing the magic circle on the ground, so I want Naoki to help."

"Oh, that's it."

The Polar youth who saw me showed me the blueprints of the magic circle, saying, "Encouraging!" It seems that the blueprints are used many times, and the end is tattered, saying, "Please cooperate and draw a beautiful arc! And other seniors' advice. The effect of the magic circle seems to be to stop the impact from going out of the magic circle.

"It's a special magic circle"

"Do you understand just by looking at the magic circle?"

Otali and the youngsters were surprised at me, who guessed the magical effect.

"I just have that kind of skill. How far are you trying to paint this?"

"Hey, do you see that Monosera with the horns is building a long stick?"

Looking at the one pointed to by Ottery, a narwhal beast's daughter, whose horn was growing about 20 meters ahead, had pierced a stick into the ground.

"Oh. Is that up?"

"That's the center, the end we stand on."

A magic circle with a diameter of 40 meters is quite large.

"Well, we need a lot of people. And because of this complex magic circle, it takes time?"

"Because it's a white night, I can work all the time."

Is it that you can work overtime? That's hard.

"I just draw it on the ground. It's better to level it out. If we start the magic circle, we need weeding."

When I said that, the youngsters began to consult, "Can we weed?" "How can we flatten the ground?"

"If you do it in a magic circle ..."

Swallowed the word, I decided to leave it to the young people. Perhaps drawing a large magic circle in this place may itself be a rite of passage to adults. Probably you need to work with your peers to level the ground, and the Arctic continent has different values for organic matter, which can be a catalyst for thinking about how weeds use organic matter and how to use limited resources effectively. Maybe.

The festival seems to take place considering the social nature of living at this base in the Arctic continent.

"Naoki, what should I start with?"

I was asked by Otari.

"Maybe it's the 'Kusin Festival', including thinking about it. We all have to cooperate and grow up. I'll help but don't talk."

"Yes, that's right. We're the adults."

Ottery nodded and began talking to her mates.

"I'll help only what I'm told."

With that said, I waited for instructions at my daughter, Monocera, who had a lonely stick.

"Old man. Is it hard to hold a stick?"

"No, it's not hard. Why am I sleepy since morning. And it's cold because I don't move."

Monocera was a daughter with a unique way of talking.

"But the center is important. If you fall down, you'll start again. If you don't help with the work, you won't be able to move.

"I don't know if you say that. I'm just piercing, I just have to keep it from falling by the wind. I've felt seriously responsible, what can I do?"

Monocera touched his corner and heard anxiously.

"I'm seriously responsible from the beginning. Did you notice it now? What kind of research is Monocera doing?"

I asked the Polar people because they have a lot of researchers.

"I'm studying curses and curses around the world."

"Hey, isn't it magic, is it?"

Monocera nodded at my question and said, "No."

"A curse or curse has something to do with meaning or a person's thoughts. It's a bit different from magic that only produces results."

That may be the case.

"Although adult rituals are a kind of magic."

"Isn't the" Kusin Festival "a magic?"

"That's right. When you read an adventurer's note about the coming-of-age ceremony in the world, it's almost like a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Is that a near-death experience? Speaking of which, there were tribes in the previous world who did bungee jumps and performed adult rituals. In religion, there was also a passage ritual where people in the river dived to their heads and then helped by others.

"It would be easier for people to experience death and be aware that they are living with others around them."

"Monocera is studying difficult things."

"It's not so much. There's no help in chasing only simple and easy-to-understand things. I'm an adult soon."

At that point, you're probably an adult. It's embarrassing as an adult.

"So, I don't know well, what do you do in the sky in Kushin Festival?"

"Are you trying to help without knowing it?"

When I nodded, Monocera said, "I like people."

"Toward the sky, we announce our research results."

"What are the research results?"

"That's right, even if it's reckless or unacceptable to others, it's also a willingness to continue to work on your own will and responsibility. Sometimes it explodes your research There seems to be people, and I need a magic circle like this. ''

Indeed, was the magic circle for the safety of the surroundings?

"I heard that I was fighting my research."

An otter approaching me suddenly talks.

"What? What?"

"No, it means 'Kusin Festival.' I've heard from walrus even if it's a pile of things that I've accumulated so far and I can't move forward, even if it's a break to fight what I've piled up I'm sorry. "

"Hey, there are a lot of wishes in here. Well, if you don't grow up, we'll be like me."

They both said, "That's it ...", but they probably don't know much about me. After all, I'm just going right and left on the palms of the gods. The two who stand on their feet are much more adults.

"Then we'll start from the weeds, so please help!"

"Roger that!"

I participated in weeding under the direction of Otari. He said that the extracted grass would be used as a pharmacy material and used for experiments and cooking. It seems that Otari is playing the coordinator.

I was saved during my work because I couldn't help thinking negative things.

All of us pick the flowers, level the ground, and draw a magic circle.

On the way, Koma-san came to call me, "It's too late to do it tomorrow." Apparently, it was bright outside but around midnight.

People at our company were paying off, either cleaning the dungeons or acting according to their interests. I slept alone in the assigned room on the base.

The next day I headed for the Kuusin Festival.

It was fun to just listen to Otari's instructions without thinking anything, because I was so alone that I couldn't help.

After drawing the magic circle, we will start testing each one that will be launched into the sky. Those who left are to make the venue for the day. It seems to be a sunny adult to show to the people at the base.

"It's strange, it's a festival of intent to do my own research for no one, but to have a seat for the viewer."

"Do you think outsiders think so too?"

Monocera seems to have the same question.

"Well, I think it's also meaningful to show your research that he's useless, whatever he says in the future."

Monocera, who can convince herself about the contradictions of the festival, felt a very adult.

Dosh ~~~! ! !

"Oh!"

The youngsters were launching something in the sky on a trial basis.

Those who are trying to launch something like a rocket in the sky or those who are trying to make their own research results with something like a large balloon, making a clearly concentrated growth agent and planting vines from the seed at once There are various ways of presenting research results, such as those who try to extend, those who just try to launch into the sky with an air cannon using a magic circle. You just enjoy watching it.

Of course, it is an announcement to the sky, but there is research that does not fly. For example, the development of fermented foods and new flowers. They seem to make kites and raise them in the sky. Otari also claims to make kite a piece of paper that depicts a new star map or a planet schedule.

The most amazing thing about Monocera's research was that he collected white balls embodying the idea of thin memory, imitating the shape of a bird, and letting them fly off. I thought I wasn't sure what I was looking at.

After everyone's announcement, a drinking party like a launch is on the base, and the liquor hidden by the patriarch Sean will be served.

Summer solstice, "Kusin Festival" day.

The festival was held without delay, and everyone at the base gathered near the magic venue, the venue for the festival.

The sky is clear and this year we have Komuro Company and Johan, so it's more exciting than usual.

The Otteries will not be told by anyone, but will continually announce their research results into the sky. It is a free festival where the audience sees it without permission.

The researchers who have presented have families, each cheering and criticizing loudly, but the researchers in the magic circle have ignored them altogether. I felt a strong will not be misled by anyone.

As I watched the adults grow up one after another, I couldn't decide what to do with the unknown gods.

"Today we have grown up as researchers on the Arctic continent! Even if our research is denied or stopped by the gods, we believe ourselves in our hearts, I'll do my best! "

After the presentation was over, Ottery, who became a leader, declared in the sky. There was no opening or closing word, but applause and whistling arose from the audience.

As the drinking party started at the base hall, I remained at the festival venue.

"The shock won't go out here. No matter what the punishment will go out."

I stared at my feet.

I also have to stand on my own feet.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"It's time to start a drinking party! It's time for a naked dance!"

Our employees came out of the base. He would have come to call me because I wasn't there. Perhaps the two old stocks are worried about seeing me recently.

"President! Please look at the dishes from my research!"

"To Ehehe! I also developed a new jumpsuit, but I think it's perfect for the president!"

Seth and Melmo are also worried.

"Just good! Everyone, listen!"

I shouted out to all employees.

"Company, I think!"

My voice echoed in the clear sky.
