The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Episode 2: Forest Festival * 1

After doing a mochi shop for a while.The time has come to break up with everyone and head towards the party venue where the nobles gather.

Lyla smiled and dropped me off, and Ange honestly supported me. Carnelia smiled and dropped me off while eating the cake, and Lian said, "Well... somehow, give up and work hard." Ugh...

... the party venue for the nobles is on the north side of the forest.

The south is the most crowded place, so it's a little busy... a little noisy, so I set up the venue on the quiet north side, which is less popular.

I drew the venue. [M]

Stone pillars and domed roofs above them.Large skylights in the center of the dome.And in between the pillars were planted the trees of the trumpets, and the trumpets were wood-like shapes intertwined with the pillars.

Under the roof is a round, marble tile like a roof, and on top of it is a garden party table and chair with a slightly casual design.There's a stage in the back... where I make my speech... uhh.

Enter the venue nervously.The venue is built like a garden, so it's good that entrance and exit aren't noticeable.

Now, then, if you look around for Fay or Roses, and try to stay by your side, there won't be much trouble...

"Oh, you were the corn at Rose's, weren't you?"

Looking around for Faye's flashy red-haired head, she was called from another direction.

"Ah, Mr. Saphir."

Long time no see.

It was Mr. Safir who called me.Uh, Rose's friend.The Oscar Territor. You ordered an angel picture...

"How are you?"

"Well, somehow...."

... I wonder if the magic runs out of energy.Uh, let me in.Or simply, I'm fine now...

"How are you?Uh, wife and kids, too. "

When you're talking about me, I'm going to ask you about Saphir because he's been out of magic for days, abducted by the country at night, and out of magic for months.

... oh, but isn't your wife here today?Well, I feel like I can't leave the Mansion if there's a little kid... maybe he's not feeling well...?

"Hahaha... no, my wife is pregnant with her second child"

And I thought, "Happy!"

Congratulations! That's great!... but, oh, yeah, I've been asleep for almost a year, and the feeling is deepening...The flow of time is fast.People's children grow up and grow more and more while they sleep...

Congratulations.

"Yeah. Thank you.... Maybe the kid downstairs likes your angel paintings too.When my wife looks at the angel's paintings, she seems to kick her stomach in cheerfully.I finally moved an angel painting to my wife's room because I felt so well. "

I'm glad. And it lights up a little.

"It's just that the older kid goes where his wife is resting to see the angel pictures... can I order another one?"

"Yes, of course!"

"I'm so glad! All right, I'll place a formal order as soon as I get back. Thank you very much."

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that...

I don't know what you mean when people like the paintings you draw and ask for them like this... yeah.I'm so happy. I've been kind of happy for a while now.

"Oh, Saphire, I didn't expect to catch you soon."

There he is, Mr. Roses.Apparently, he heard Saphir's happy voice and came this way.I'm relieved that more people know about it.

"Oh, it's a corner, so I asked for another painting.To celebrate the birth of your second child... no, to celebrate your first child becoming your brother.Yeah, that's right. If you have a child, I want you to order another one. "

"Hahaha. You're quick."

Mr. Saphir seems a little bothered.Well, I know how you feel. It's a great thing, so I want you to float a lot.

... by the way.

"Um, Faye?"

"Huh, Faye?"

I asked Mr. Roses gently.... even though I'm relieved to have someone I know, both Mr. Roses and Mr. Saphir are somewhat nervous...

"Sorry, Faye is surrounded by ladies over there now."

"... woah"

But going to see Fai seems difficult.Fei is now surrounded by women in beautiful dresses and seems to be dealing with something.Yeah. I'm going there a little...

"That's right, Mr. Corn. If you want someone you know nearby, I'll stay with you if you don't mind.But I don't know when I'm going to end up like this.Anyway, even if I was with Saphir, they'd just keep listening to me... "

Mr. Roses, you're a good man.I feel like it's a driftstone, Faye's brother.

"Oh, Rose, do you want to hear more about me?No, of course, at your request, my friend, I can tell you the full story. "

"I see. Well, I'll ask you to do that later.Um, about Corn.... "

When I tried to tell her that it was enough just to feel.Roseth stared around... and brightened his face.

And then...

"Just in time. Knight over there!Could I have a moment? "

The brave rising knight of the helmet approached us on his big crotch before Mr. Roses called.

"I need his protection. It seems to be very thoughtful."

"Yes, I understand."

The knight of the helmet... Laocles looks at me and laughs a little.I keep smiling because of it.

Apparently, Laocles was in charge of the security of the venue. Very pleasant!

If Laocles were here, everything would be safe at the unfamiliar party venue!

"You seem nervous."

"Of course. Don't be nervous."

"Ha, ha. Is that so?"

Then I talked to Laocles and waited in the corner of the venue.It calms me down because Laocles is a bit of a wall.I like small places and places surrounded by walls.

"By the way, do you want something to eat?"

Laocles cares about me and listens. [M]

... there are various snacks in the venue.Something like a little open sandwich with vegetables and ham on a small sliced bread, or a pick stuck in a white-fried fish wrapped in edamame.There are many snacks that are gorgeous, small, and beautifully made to make it easy to eat with a standing meal.I think it looks delicious after watching them, and I would like to draw them because they are beautiful...

"... I'm nervous and I'm not hungry."

It's not very good, but I don't feel like eating anything right now.No, because I'm nervous.

"Well, how about a drink?"

"... I want a little"

But I want a drink. I'm not hungry, but my throat just dried up...

"I see, then...."

Laocles moved his gaze a little, then quickly approached the nearby table, grabbed a highball and a drink glass, and came right back.Amazing. Quick, but without intimidation...

Is this it?

"Yes, thank you."

Drink the beverage you received immediately.... it looks like you picked someone who wasn't drinking.Maybe this is juice. It has a refreshing flavor and the sweetness is diluted, but quite delicious.

"Where's Laocles?"

"I'm on duty at the moment. I'll have it when I'm done."

Well then, eat plenty when you're done.

"Yes, I will."

I'm kind of sorry about all this, but Laocles' eyes are firmly on the drinker... so I decided not to say anything more.If you want to drink alcohol, please leave work.

... speaking of which, I've never seen Laocles drinking.Yeah, drunk Laocles, I'd like to see it.It's a corner festival, and it's nice to be seen like that.

"Hey, Corn. You having fun?"

"Faye!"

A little later, Faye came to us.The appearance of approaching the big crotch is refreshing, and when combined with a slightly more flashy look for the party, it looks really cool. I want to draw it.

"If you're here, come talk to me right away, Corgo."

Faye's got me in the head, but I'm a little disagreed with that.

"Because Fei was surrounded by women.I thought it would be a bad idea to interrupt. "

"I'd rather be disturbed....."

Ah, is that so...?

"Until now, it was more like, 'Talking is fun, but I have a little ability.'I wonder how many things have come.Since the Red Dragon became a Summoner..... "

That's what Fai said, and he kind of had distant eyes.Ah, yeah, well done...

"... I'm more of a red dragon, ahh, shit!"

Yeah. Um... well done.

"But... yeah, if you're in this forest, you're going crazy about making ugly judgments..."

Faye is leaning on a drink glass next to me while she is shrugging. [M]It seems to be a weak alcohol.When I look at this kind of place, I think that Faye is an adult.

"All the ladies who stopped by didn't look particularly beautiful.It's definitely the woods.Look, the woods are always beautiful. "

Especially Mr. Crowe.

"Oh, especially Mr. Crowe!"

Yeah. Sure, when I get used to Claire, I feel like my ugly standards are going to go crazy.I'm starting to feel crazy. [M]Before you can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, since Krah is so beautiful, you're losing your obsession with beauty...

"Crowe... certainly isn't ugly, but how beautiful is he?"

"Laocles, that's insane! Come back here!"

"I see....."

"Yes, Claire is as beautiful as Laocles's physical beauty!"

"Corn, that's insane!Come back... no, this is from the beginning... "

Faye gave me a face that I couldn't say anything about.Excuse me. Laocles is beautiful.Wow. It's an honor plaster statue.

"Well, not only Claire, but Angel, Lyla and Carnelia are all beautiful girls.Even though you're a knight, you're quite a beauty.And Lene and Corn. Yeah.Moreover, Princess Large is looking at it a little bit more and more..... "

"Fei! Don't let me in when you get in there!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I accidentally..."

Even if Rene can't help it, you can't just throw me in that frame!

"Don't look so complicated.Isn't that nice enough to be said to be beautiful? "

... even if you say so, it's complicated. Ugh...

... and then I kept talking about a bit of a complicated feeling, but it might have been just right.After all, the tension subsided.I wonder if Faye was after this.... No, I don't. Maybe. Yeah.

"Oh, it looks like it's starting."

Then we chat again... suddenly, Fay says so and looks at the stage.

Faye's father was up on the stage.I'm a little nervous watching you dressed up like a nobleman.No, the contents are Faye's usual father, and Faye's father is a kind person... but seeing him like this makes him nervous after all.

"Thank you to all of you everywhere.Welcome a long way to Redgard Territory. "

Faye's father's voice echoed a little unnaturally in the venue.This is a bit annoying for the people at the venue.

... Faye's father is using unfamiliar tools.It's a tool in the form of a shellfish.It seems that when you talk to it, you can hear a loud voice from the large larvae next to it.... how about a microphone and an amplifier?

I made that tool.

Faye laughed proudly as she watched her surroundings.

"Soon....."

"Well, while you were asleep."

Ah, I see.... 10 months was a long time.

"It's been more than a year since this town was built.In the meantime, I apologize for the delay in showcasing this town due to several monster raids, interactions with the country at night, and many other events, and I am very pleased to be able to hold a commemorative ceremony in such a peaceful town today. "

Faye's father keeps on greeting.People are nodding or looking around without notice as they listen to it.... well, there are many things.

"... well, I'm a long way behind, but today I'm going to give this town a proper name... commonly known as the Forest Town."

And finally, Faye's father said... take a slow look around the quiet venue, and then...

"The name of this town is Soleira.It's an old name for the sun. "

"I want you to keep an eye on this town, warm and gentle to the sun above the sky.That's the name I gave you. "

I see. Above the sky...

... you know, maybe because I'm "over the sky"...?

"Alright, keep asking, Spirit!"

When I noticed it, Faye slapped me on the shoulder. [M]No, I knew it...!

"Of course, as always, the common name is' Forest Town '.However, the official document labeled "Forest Town (Temporary)" was hesitant by the boulders.... "

Faye's father smiled, and he smiled at me a little while explaining.The face of the woods... it's no different from being my town.No, it's fine. You don't have to worry so much.If this is how many people live in the woods in this town, that's enough. [M]

"... so please continue to say hello to Soleira, commonly known as" Forest City "."

Faye's father's speech and the unveiling of the name of the town ended with a big applause.

I applaud a lot, too.

... please welcome me.

... well.

Until then, that's fine.It's okay. I was excited by the name of the town, and I felt bright.

It's just... after this. After this!

"All right, Corn! Go!"

Calm down.

"I know...."

... yes, that's my speech!Nervous! Nervous even!

Stand on the stage.Everyone is looking at me. [M]I'm nervous. I'm so nervous!

... but some of the people who were looking at me knew a few faces.

Faye and Laocles, of course, have Rose and Saphir.They also called the Drab family.Dioren is here, too. Wow, Faye's father's connection...

In addition, Princess Large was secretly present, and one day, the Demon King was mixed up!Mahhhh, a faint noise echoes through the venue.

... yeah. It's kind of calming down. All right.

I turn around and start my speech. [M]

"... I represent Soleira.Thank you very much for joining us today. "

When I greeted him, the venue was a little rough. [M]

Maybe I'm not convinced that someone like me is the town's representative.People who know the situation are nodding well, though.

"Some people think that children like me are unreliable because they represent the city.However, we are committed to providing you with peace of mind through our future work. "

You have to make sure you can't lick it at times like this.I'm kind of tired of having to strain my elbows, but this is what we need to live happily ever after.

"I will listen to the voice of the Spirit and promise to make this city better in the future."

I tried to dress up a little and say that.

The venue was upset. Are there really spirits?I hear voices like that, yeah.Spirits are here.

"The spirits who live in this forest have a very good impression on the people of this forest.I was ready to return that feeling to a friendly person.Therefore, I hope that this city will continue to exist amicably, without fear of the Spirit more than necessary. "

In the meantime, I'm supposed to be a "person who listens to the voice of the Spirit", so it's not unnatural to say such a thing.

Fei and the others have also agreed to include this content.The point is that it will have the effect of reminding you that "Spirit Sensei" exists, and it will be just right because I can't be personally licked.

"... about a year ago, there was a monster attack in this town that is new to my memory, but by making the protection of the town stronger, I will continue to move forward with the spirit's heart so that I can live in a safe and secure town."

My senses were like a year ago, or about two months ago... and just after the monster attack, I was seized by the Night Kingdom, so I really don't have any sense of it... but, well, it seems that it's still new in people's memories, so I'll keep a sentence like this.

"The construction of city walls and the installation of gates by ancient magic.abundant fruit and defensive power.This town has grown rapidly under the protection of such spirits.But these are thanks not only to the Spirit, but also to the Red Gard family, the inhabitants of this city, and the neighbors. "

This is the heart. It wasn't my power that made this town so big. [M]All I did was build walls and gates. [M]Then I increased the number of Edamame fields.... that's why from there, it's human power.Thanks to everyone's help, this town is still having fun today.I'm glad about it.

"Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.... and finally, let me pray for the eternal peace and happiness of this town and make it the word of a bond. "

And that's what I'm saying...

It's over!

The speech is over! I bowed and applauded, so I got off the stage and... it's over!It's over! Wow!
