Chapter 46: I Want to Go to The Festival
The next day, Izel fort was so boisterous from the morning. I wonder if another bigshot came? But for some reason, there were many merchants who successively passed through the front gate and went to the courtyard.
After I had a meal in my room so that I wouldn’t meet with anyone, I went to Leon-san’s office when Argo-san… no, Ar-niisama told me.
“About that. We’re holding a celebratory festival to commemorate Yuuri becoming our family’s child.”
“Eeh? Is that so?!”
I knew that Argo-san was a noble, but was his family so amazing that they could hold a celebration in the fort?
Is it alright for me to be adopted into such a family?! ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
“”—Obviously that is not the case.”
Amanda-san lightly hit Argo-san’s head. I was relieved hearing that.
T-thank goodness. Apparently, it was only a joke.
That’s right. No matter how you look at it, it isn’t something that’s worth holding this much uproar.
In order to calm down my racing heart, I caressed Noir’s back as it was within my embrace.
I felt relieved upon feeling the warm temperature that was transmitted to my palm. Noir’s animal therapy gave an instant effect.
Nevertheless… Amanda-san isn’t a noble, yet she hit Argo-sa… no, Ar-niisama’s head like that, would that be fine?
If only Amanda-san had a paper fan with her, it would certainly suit her so much.
…Come to think of it, there was a joke equipment called as [paper fan].
No, no. It was a joke equipment that only had 1 offensive ability that was distributed during an event by the Game Master. No matter how much it suited her, I couldn’t give such a thing to Amanda-san.
“After the Monster Flood ended, everyone would receive one year holiday, right? That’s why we have the merchants coming, since it’s customary to purchase souvenirs for the family that we haven’t seen in a long time. However, before we even noticed, it suddenly became something similar to a festival.”
“Everyone will have some money to spare since we’d receive a special salary after dedicating ourselves to handling the Monster Flood.”
I see~. That is certainly something worth becoming a festival, I guess.
Since lots of stores are going here, it’d feel like Ennichi1
Whoa. I wonder how a festival in this world will be like?
“I’m excited, Noir.”
When I said that to Noir who was in my arms, Noir said, “Nyan,” as if agreeing with me. Purun who was on top of Noir’s head was also shaking as if it agreed.
“Oh my, but Yuuri-chan—”
“There is Count Rainier here…”
Eeh?
I can’t… go to the festival?
Even though it’s the first festival that’s happening since I first came to this world…
Besides, I’ve already become family with Ar…-niisama, so it’s not like Count Rainier can do anything to me, right?
But Ar-niisama and Amanda-san did so in consideration of myself, not like they were doing this to bully me, so… It’s really, really unfortunate, but I should give it up. …Should I? I’m getting depressed…
After looking at me who was crestfallen, Ar-niisama and Amanda-san looked at each other.
“But, it will be fine with me and Amanda coming along, right? When push comes to shove, Leader can shield us.”
“T-that’s right! If Leader is watching, I think Count Rainier wouldn’t dare.”
So I can go?
Hurray-!
“Thank you! Ar-niisama, Amanda-san!”
As I held Noir with my left hand, I hugged Amanda-san with my right hand.
“Eh. Wouldn’t your big brother over here need to be hugged, too?”
“Fufun. Even though Yuuri-chan and I aren’t family, and just good friend… Oh yeah, where is Leader who called us?”
“It’s about the time for the magical bird that flew to the royal capital to return, so Leader should be back soon, I think?”
“Royal capital… Could it be?”
“—If we have the acknowledgement from the royal family, the adoption will be smooth, don’t you think?”
“Good grief… Even the leader has to move…”
When I raised my face with a happy expression, Amanda-san’s red lips formed a smile.
“It’s said that the good wind is the one that blows quickly.”
I turned my line of sight towards the owner of the proud voice and I saw Ar-niisama wink at me.
“Argo, way to go.”
“It’s for Yuuri after all.”
“Keep it up, and I’m sure you’ll be able to protect her.”
“Of course.”
Ehehe.
My big brother and big sister are really reliable.
“Then, I can also go to the festival?”
“Of course.”
“Yeah. Let’s go together.”
Yay~!
I wonder how the festival will be like. I’m looking forward to it!
