Chapter 1573 - Stomachache-Filled Founding Festival ①

[Megiddo-san, these two are Mizuhara Kaori-san and Mikumo Akane-san, people who are from the same other world as me, and used to be Hero actors.]

[Ahh, I see, you’re former Hero actors! That’s why you looked familiar. I do feel like I’ve seen you in a Festival of Heroes back then.]

[Also, you’re scaring them.]

[Ahhn? Why would they feel scared? Did they do something to feel guilty about?]

Kaori-san and Akane-san’s shoulders shook when they heard Megiddo-san’s intimidating voice, but as someone who had known her for a while, I know that she was just being her usual self and wasn’t mad at them. However, for people who hadn’t met Megiddo-san very much, it wouldn’t be strange for them to think that she’s angry.

[No, it’s because of your gaze and the pressure you’re emitting. Even if that wasn’t what you had intended, it looked like Megiddo-san is glaring, so it would be better if you’d at least lower your voice a bit.]

[……Kaito, seriously…… Why do you take such a light tone towards War King-sama?]

[W- W- W- Wouldn’t they get mad? T- They might kill us……]

[No, please calm down, you two. It’s not like Megiddo-san is angry. Sh…… They’re just being usual. They’d even get in a better mood while drinking alcohol.]

When Megiddo-san is in a good mood, she smiles a lot and one would really feel how cheerful of a person she is, but in normal circumstances, she may look a bit grumpy, even when she actually isn’t.

This is hard to tell unless one had actually seen her in her angry mood, as when she is angry, she looks much more intimidating.

[……So, which one is which?]

[Ah, errr, this one is Mikumo Akane. I’m the Chairman of my trading company, Mikumo Trading Company.]

[Ou, I see, I’ll call you Akane then. Mikumo Trading Company…… Ahh, I think that one’s familiar. You operate a mobile trading company, right?]

[Y- Yes, that’s right.]

Akane-san seemed surprised that Megiddo-san knows about the Mikumo Trading Company, but even when Megiddo-san looks like that, she’s someone who invests in various things such as trading companies, so she’s knowledgeable about them.

After talking with Akane-san to some extent, Megiddo-san then turns to Kaori-san.

[That would mean this one’s Mizuhara Kaori then? I’ll call you Kaori.]

[Ah, yes. I’m Mizuhara Kaori-san. I work in a restaurant in Friendship City called Suiren, where I serve dishes from our world.]

[Hou, other world dishes huh. Sounds interesting, I’ll come eat there some time.]

[Hwoehh? Ah, yesh, I’ll be waiting.]

Kaori-san looked like she was gonna cry for a moment when Megiddo-san told her that she was interested in other world cuisine and that she was going to go to her restaurant next time, but of course, there’s no way she’d be able to deny her.

As expected though, with all the things happening, I couldn’t help feeling worried about Akane-san’s stomach, so I decided to help her out.

[Megiddo-san, let’s go together at that time. I know where her restaurant is.]

[Ou, I’m looking forward to it!]

[K- Kaito-kun……]

Kaori-san’s mental state would somewhat be more relieved with me there with them, so I suggested that for the time being, to which Kaori-san looked as if she found salvation in hell.

After a brief conversation, Kaori-san and Akane-san decided to continue looking around the festival, so they politely bid their farewells to Megiddo-san before hastily leaving.

After seeing them off with a wry smile, I turned to Megiddo-san and called out to her.

[Speaking of which, it’s a bit too late to ask, but did Megiddo-san come to attend the Founding Festival?]

[Unnn? Ahh, I came to buy some booze. There’s this delicious booze called Dwarven Fire Wine, but they don’t sell it in large quantities unless it’s for a large festival. I just bought about a hundred barrels of them.]

[……A hundred barrels…..]

Errr, a barrel of alcohol…… should be 160 liters, right? That means a hundred barrels would be 16000 liters? I thought for a moment that she may have bought too much but well, Megiddo-san should be able to calmly drink that much huh……

[……So you’re not gonna attend the ceremony like Lillywood-san and Magnawell-san then?]

[Ahhn? Lillywood and Magnawell are here? Not their subordinates?]

[Yes, and it seems that all the Supreme Gods would also be in attendance this time.]

[Hou~~ I see…… Then, I guess I’ll check it out later.]

Megiddo-san happily smiles as she said this, but is it really alright to do something flippantly like that.

[Eh? Is it really alright to do something flippantly like that?]

[Ahhn? I’m not gonna attend the ceremony, just gonna give Lillywood and the others a quick hello, so they shouldn’t mind.]

[……Huh.]

Hmmm, well, I guess that could be the case? Indeed, if she’s just going to greet them…… Her Humanized-form’s face is also well-known that they’d easily let her inside the castle……

[That aside, quite the interesting stuff you got here…… Wait, if it isn’t Amel? So you’re also here.]

[It has been a while, O King of the Raging Flames. I thank the guiding stars for this chance encounter in this festival……]

[Ou, you’re still making no sense like usual.]

Megiddo-san seemed to know Amel-san, as she heartily smiles at her. Since Megiddo-san is a person who likes someone as long as they’re strong, Megiddo-san didn’t seem to care at all about the way Amel-san talked. That part of her really is just like Megiddo-san.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai: [No, the heck is that title!? N- No way, the chain still continues huh…… However, how are things gonna go after this……]
