The Struggle of Returning to The Other World

Between troubles, time keeps flowing.

Noel and I were awkward, four and a half months after I returned to King's Capital.

Finally, the festival's production is here to celebrate Master Ardina's second anniversary as a witch.

This plan, which began with my thoughts, is also becoming one of the biggest events I have seen in recent years, involving a lot of people if I realize it.

The restaurants that open eventually become eighteen, and there is a wide variety of genres, from solid dining to beverage and sweet shops. I was shown the listing food of each store beforehand, but they were all as Ardina imagined, delicate and beautiful, with a soft impression finish, and each taste was wonderful.

Also, Mr. Corey has worked hard for me, and I was able to rent expensive magic items for a broken price, so it's so authentic that I don't think it's an outdoor event, from setting up a store to kitchen facilities.

On that day, sunny weather.

The venue is the city square, where dance parties for young people once took place.

Visitors have been hissing around the square since before the opening, giving a hunch about the big bang.

From each booth set up to enclose a large circle, there was a nice smell that didn't attract them like that.

Eventually the opening time came and a representative of the union greeted him on the stage.

When the brightly colored demonic props, very similar to balloons, were released into the sky, a great deal of cheer arose from the square.

"It's finally started, Halka!

Senna came in a good mood, looking at the colorful balloons scattered across the blue sky.

"This is the real deal. Let's go cheerful and fun!

"... Yes!

I laughed and nodded back.

After what happened to Noel, my mind was somehow left out of here, but I couldn't help but block it. If a year goes by while I'm cuddling, isn't that why I don't know what I'm here for?

Anyway, let's have fun today.

"My fixer, because I'm watching. Hulka watch out for the whole festival. I asked for it."

"Yes, I understand. Best regards,"

Being the festival's teller, I am assigned to a fully operational staff position.

It's a bigger crowd than I expected, so I don't know where and what happenings will happen. While we're enjoying ourselves, we need to be attentive to our surroundings.

"Oh, hey, Halka!

Waving this way from the other side of the crowd are Mr. Corey and Mr. Luna.

I was a little surprised because I'd never seen him around the city like this before.

"Mr. Corey, Mr. Luna! You came, didn't you?"

"Yeah. I've come to think I need people to be able to see how the magic props are... Hey, that's a hell of a big deal. I'm going to get drunk."

"You seem to have a lot of shops. This is about domination of the entire store and being worth it! Mr. Hulka, is this one item per store?

Mr. Luna's eyes are shimmering.

"Eh, looks like some stores have a few items on offer. It's sweet and stuff."

"I see, that's superimposed. Then I shall hurry up and come! Corey, it's good to break up here."

"What, are you acting different?!?

In the meantime, Mr. Luna is invisible.

"Wow, Luna, I'm not here anymore..."

"Damn it, Luna's guy, 'cause he's really thin"

"Mr. Corey, please stop by our fixer if you like. Your husbands and Senna will be delighted if you eat and go."

Because of this, I suggested so, and Mr. Corey slightly blushed and cheeked.

"Is Mr. Senna here, too?

"Well, she's our diner's billboard daughter."

"I've heard rumors of shadow bosses."

Oh, Mr. Corey, did you have the skills to tear up about my dear Senna that way? When did this happen, and the distance between the two is closer than I thought... maybe.

"Oh, I found it"

That's when. From another direction, I heard a familiar voice.

Looking back, it was Mr. Sizzle and Mr. Elliot who drew the crowd closer together.

On one of their hands, they have one dish that they've been sourcing properly in some store. At first glance, it's like a raw spring roll. That's translucent thin skins layered like lace, not only beautiful, but also very tasty at the same time.

"Mr. Sizzle, Mr. Elliot! Hello."

"Do you know him?"

To Mr. Corey's inquiry, I nodded.

"In this project, you are two soldiers of the Royal Palace, who are in charge of guarding the square.... What is that in that hand?

Staring at Djotori and Raw Spring Rolls, Mr. Elliot excused himself as if he had panicked.

"No, this is what the store clerk said to me about security."

"So-so. Seriously, you're not supposed to buy and eat on your own while you're at work, are you?

That's zero persuasion with regard to Mr. Sizzle, who's hitting the spring roll with that being said.

"Heh, looks delicious. I'll go around the store soon and say hello to Senna and the others. [M] See you later, Halka."

After dropping off Mr. Corey leaving, Mr. Sizzle shrugged.

"... boyfriend?

"No. I'm a magician at the Royal Palace. He borrowed all sorts of magic tools, so he came to see how it was going."

"You're a magician...... You didn't really look that way."

Elliot gives his best thoughts.

"He's a good man, really. Don't think of all sorcerers as hateful bigots."

"No, I didn't say a word of that."

With a slightly tight look, Mr. Elliot corrected.

"Better than that, you, eat this"

That's what he says, he offers me a plate with raw spring rolls.

"No, I'm sorry. Elliot gave it to me. Elliot will eat it."

"I'm not buying and eating while I'm at work. Tell me something special?

Mr. Sizzle, you said you were already finished eating that scratch.

"That was a joke, I said. It's a festival because of it, so both of you should enjoy your security. Please tell the other guards. Don't hesitate to attend the festival."

"I'll tell him that. But I'm not even hungry right now, so this is good."

They pressed me hard to eat.

I'm glad, but I wonder if it's really okay. Would I have sent such an appetizing gaze?

"Well, if you need anything else, I'll report it"

"Bye."

With a light greeting, they both walked away.

Nevertheless, as I stroll through the square in this way, I still feel that something called Wang Du is being created by the residents of the city.

It is the kingdom and the king's capital and the royal palace with the king, but without all of the city, they will not be made after all. Old and young, each laughing and crying, eating up their teeth, and living in support of each other.

Everyone smiles today.

You're delicious, and you smile, and you look beautiful, and you're impressed. Next time let's go over there, now let's go over here, I can hear you playing like that from all over the place.

There are occasions when a little trouble is going to happen, but then everyone decides to say it. It's Aldina's celebration today, so let's stop arguing.

(Aldina's thoughts have been so good to this point)

Dear Ardina, that you have re-summoned me because of the weakness of your own heart.

I would have been exhausted, weak, and hurt a lot. Still, what she brings to everyone as a witch certainly grows that bud in this way.

(Wow, Master Ardina is)

For him, there may have been a lot to regret. But I also realize that what I could have done because of her did happen.

In the end, a soothing time passed without major problems.

The popular store seems to have sold out in stages without waiting for the end time of the festival, which seems to have been the same for our fixer.

"Hal, why don't you stop by?"

When the festival was almost over, the fixer's grandmother called me in with her face from the store.

"Good luck to you, old man. Looks like the sale went well."

"Things are going well, I'm already a heck of a lot. I just got my last plate."

Oh, boy, your grandmother slapped herself on the shoulder and still doesn't seem to be all right. Senna, who was starting to clean up the store, and Rick, a helper, are watching how such a stranger looks as he grins.

"Even on patrol, I heard a lot of voices that our food was delicious."

"That was good. But Harka's been working all along, hasn't she? Did you have some fun?"

Your husband, who was cleaning up in the same way, speaks to me like he cares.

"Yes, of course. Everyone else in the store seems to remember my face, and let me have it, wherever I go, eat this, eat that one too."

I was already hungry, too, and I could slap my pampered stomach.

"Oh, my God, you're eating more than regular customers."

That's how we all laugh.

Come on, one last job.

The excursion is said to be until we get home. The festival is also a festival until the end of cleanup. When I thought I'd get back in the mood and even start disposing of the garbage that came out at the festival...

The venue air shook.

Then, at the same time, the twist spreads.

The gaze of those who were visiting was focused on one point. What lies ahead is barely visible from here because of the crowd.

What the hell is going on?

Since I was about to open up peacefully and safely, did I come here and something went wrong?

It was when I took a step to rush to the center of the noise.

In the next moment, that leg stopped.

Because - that "whirlpool person" came this way.

I won't stop twitching.

But the people who were filling the square, very naturally, paved the way for "her".

People's waves crack in two.

And it was Master Ardina who walked over from the other side of it.

"Why..."

Master Ardina is here.

Surprisingly, my voice blurred.

But even without saying it to everyone, my thoughts would have been clearly conveyed to her.

When Lady Ardina came to my sight, she stopped her legs and then smiled gently.

It was as if the goddess had descended from heaven to earth.

The pale blonde hair waves glossy as usual, and the white, luxurious piece, which looks sparkling, still wraps her skin fluffy as usual. Standing there should no longer have been Master Ardina himself, whom I was accustomed to seeing, but when I met him in this way throughout the city, his beauty was felt even more prominently.

"I'm sorry I surprised you"

Master Ardina said so with a smile.

Her voice, which she hasn't heard in months, is not just tender, but has a definite strength.

"When I heard everyone in the city was celebrating my second anniversary, I really wanted to meet you in person and thank you."

Then Master Ardina took my hands and held them tight.

"Mr. Hulka, I hear you planned this festival. Good luck. And thank you so much."

"Uh, that."

I don't know, this situation was totally unexpected.

What am I to do here?

Looking around at the grate, I found Mr. Sotini holding back behind Master Ardina. She shrugs her shoulders as she shrugs and glances over to preach firmly. And beside it - there's no sign of Noel. Instead, a knight I didn't know was only quietly refraining.

"I'm most glad to see your pleasant smiles this way. Thanks to everyone who supported this festival, including Haruka."

"Dear Ardina..."

I shook her hand back.

And keep going, wave your hands probably.

"Dear Ardina, thank you for coming so far. I was very surprised that Master Ardina herself would give me a leg, because I never dreamed of it. But I'm so happy at the same time. - Of course, not just me, but everyone in the city, I'm sure. Because everyone loves Aldina."

When I conveyed my honest thoughts with excitement and chill, my applause went up.

As if the people in the square would show their endorsement of my words.

The applause is getting louder and louder instead of showing signs of ringing. Surprisingly looking around me and Master Ardina quickly wrapped up, the square surrounded by unity. Me and Mr. Ardina, in a storm of applause, held hands together and looked at each other, then laughed at each other all the time.

"Dear Ardina,"

"Yes."

Because of the loud applause, it's to the point where we can finally hear each other even when we're next door.

I love this city. I love this world.

"... Yes"

"The first time I came here, I left without knowing about this world. So it was almost over."

"Yes."

"So glad to be back in this world... now I sincerely hope"

"Mr. Hulka."

Master Ardina laughed with great pleasure.

It's not like smiling as a witch again. It was one woman's, uncontrolled grin.

And Master Ardina turned to the people of the city, holding one hand with me. Keep it up and show it waving at them loudly.

Once again, a great deal of cheer arose - and thus the festival fell under the curtain in great success.
