ChapterC.1692: Stomachache Direct Delivery
Would it perhaps be better to have a connection with powerful figures in the Human Realm, rather than the people of authority from the Demon Realm or God Realm, such as the Six Kings’ Executives or the Gods? Hmmm, I don’t know.
[Well then, I’m heading for the Royal Castle. Shallow Vernal-sama, Miyama Kaito-sama, thank you for your time.]
[……Eh? Ah, please wait, Olivia-san. How are you planning to get to the Royal Castle?]
[That is, of course, on foot?]
I had been lost in thought, but I reflexively raised my voice upon hearing her words. For the time being, I think it’s fine for Olivia-san to go and greet Laguna-san and Lilia-san. If I contacted Lilia-san via hummingbird ahead of time, she would probably feel less stomachache.
But before that, I need to know how Olivia-san is going to get to the Royal Castle…… Olivia-san’s physical strength is below that of an average person while she’s outside Friendship City, and honestly speaking, I don’t think she will be able to reach the Royal Castle on foot along the roads crowded with people at this Founding Festival.
As a matter of fact, when we just came here, she was being swept away by the flow of people……
[Umm, there’s a lot of people around, and I don’t really want you turning out like earlier, so I think it would be better if you think of another way……]
[Miyama Kaito-sama, that’s very kind of you. However, please do not worry. As expected, even if this place is outside the Friendship City, I have enough stamina to walk to the Royal Castle.]
[No, that might be the case in normal times…… but with how crowded the place is now, if you go to the Royal Castle, you will also have to pass through the plaza in front of the House of Parliament, right? The area around there is even more crowded than here, and I don’t think you can make good progress walking through there with the flow of people.]
Olivia-san is being somewhat optimistic when it comes to matters like this. I mean, since she basically doesn’t leave Friendship City, she tends to assess her abilities based on her abilities within Friendship City.
Also, this is just my guess, but she probably perceives herself as having the same level of ability as an average person outside the Friendship City…… when in fact, even among average people, she lacks quite a bit in terms of stamina. If anything, her fitness is far below that of the average person, but she herself seemed to be unaware of this.
When I was wondering if I could somehow persuade her successfully, Shiro-san lightly nodded and spoke.
[I also understand Kaito-san’s concerns. Plus, if you were to walk from here at this time, you might arrive just in time for the ceremony’s start, making it difficult for you to make your greetings. That being the case, I will see you off.]
[T- That won’t do, it would be a great disrespect to trouble Shallow Vernal-sama……]
[I don’t mind. Well then, I will see you off.]
[My sincerest gratitude……]
It was decided that Shiro-san would teleport Olivia-san, and Olivia-san, deeply moved by Shiro-san’s consideration, assumed a posture of prayer before Shiro-san and expressed her gratitude.
After giving a nod in response to her prayer, Shiro-san lightly waves her hand and Olivia-san disappears. Well, for the time being, with that, it wouldn’t be like Olivia-san isn’t able to reach the Royal Castle…… Ahh, wait, I was planning to contact Lilia-san, wasn’t I……
In the office of the Royal Castle in the Hydra Kingdom, the sudden visit of the Founder had brought confusion, but even so, the situation was being brought under control for the time being, thanks in part to their cooperation with the Gods.
[……According to the Gods, Founder-sama has safely met up with Kaito.]
[That’s a relief. I’m sure that Founder-sama’s objective is Shallow Vernal-sama and Kaito-san, so as soon as she finishes talking to the two of them, she will return home, so we can be relieved.]
[Yeah. I’m also sorry for holding you up here for so long, young Lilia. The starting time of the ceremony is getting closer, so for now, let’s leave matters here to my subordinates while we make our preparations to head to the venue.]
[You’re right. I don’t feel like this ends our worries here, but as long as an emergency situation doesn’t occur…… It’s safe to say we’ve reached a temporary pause then.]
Since they’ve overcome the worst of the chaos, they can leave the rest to their subordinates and as long as there are no emergencies related to Shallow Vernal, they can just focus on attending the ceremony.
They are already aware that there’s still a good possibility that something might happen later, but just as they were thinking they’ve overcome the critical moment of the day, as if to sneer at the relaxed atmosphere they had around them…… the center of the room was bathed in light, and Olivia appeared.
[ [ ……Huh? ] ]
It’s no wonder that the expressions of Laguna and Lilia, who witnessed this happening, were dyed with bewilderment.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [A- As expected of Shiro, how terrifying…… A special delivery, directly to the stomach…… I wonder what will happen to their stomachs ……]
