I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 975 - White God Festival

Chapter 975 - White G.o.d Festival ②

When we left Chronois-san’s temple and reached the lower level…… There were a lot of people as we expected.

[……This feels as densely populated as the temple when I received my blessing back then.]

[Right. However, compared to the Six Kings Festival, which was only for invited guests, and the Festival of Heroes, which lasted an entire month, I think this is more festival-like to have this many people here.]

[Ahh~~ I guess you’re right.]

Aoi-chan reacted to the words I unintentionally muttered. This certainly feels more like a festival. Besides, even though there certainly were a lot of people, it wasn’t to the point where it’s impossible to move around.

Well, there are still some people waiting at the gates, so these numbers would still increase……

[Master, should we head to the middle level immediately?]

[Hmmm, I think the lower level will be more crowded in the future, so wouldn’t it be better for us if we look around the lower-level first and then go to the middle-level? I’ve heard that they limit the number of people in the middle-level to some extent, but they even provided us a guide, so I don’t think it’s impossible for us to get in.]

While answering Anima’s question, I looked at everyone’s faces, but it doesn’t seem like anyone objects to my opinion…… my earlier thoughts.

[I mean, we’re leisurely in that respect, aren’t we? We don’t have to worry about being trapped by restrictions since we have Kaito-senpai.]

[Indeed, we’re leisurely about that…… but we’re going to meet G.o.d of Sky-sama in the middle level, right…… It’s not every day you get the chance to meet a High-ranking G.o.d.]

[Milady, it’s too late to say that. I mean, isn’t it better that you know about this beforehand?]

While we were talking about this, it looked like we could all move together for the time being, so all of us walked along together. I’ve also thought of this back in the Sacred Tree Festival, but Hina-chan seemed to like festivals a lot as she was quite excited.

As Aoi-chan wryly smiled as she stopped Hina-chan, who looked like she’s about to head for a food stall, I slightly moved my gaze to the side.

The lower-level was lined with a variety of stalls, some of which can be opened upon applications. Some of the stalls were standard to festivals, while some were not……

[Ahh, look over there! That Danish taiyaki there looks delicious, doesn’t it?]

[……Taiyaki huh. As expected of a big festival, they even had some unusual stalls.]

[ [ [ Eh? ] ] ]

Hina-chan seemed to have found a Danish taiyaki stall. As I was thinking that they certainly look delicious, Sieg-san suddenly muttered something that made Aoi-chan, Hina-chan and I all tilt our heads.

From the way Sieg-san was talking now, it seemed like rather than Daiyaki taiyaki, she thinks that taiyaki itself was unusual.

[……Sieg-san, are taiyakis unusual?]

[Eh? Yes, you can find them only at big festivals like the Festival of Heroes.]

[It’s so minor that I almost never saw it at festivals of the scale of the Sacred Tree Festival we went to before.]

After Sieg-san explained while tilting her head, Luna-san gave additional information. Hmmm, I wonder if this is a cultural difference? Taiyaki is popular among us otherworlders after all.

Well, I have mixed feelings in regards to how often they’re sold at festivals…… but come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing any taiyaki stalls in the city. I do remember seeing a takoyaki stall in the Hydra Kingdom though.

[……Incidentally, just out of curiosity, but what’s the most popular food stall for festivals in this world?]

[Baby castellas, I suppose.]

[……Could that possibly have something to do with Kuro?]

[I guess…… Underworld King-sama is a very popular person, and her fondness for baby castellas is widely known.]

When Lilia-san mentioned baby castellas, there’s only one person that immediately popped into my mind. I see, indeed, if one of the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, Kuro, whose hobby is eating while walking, likes it…… baby castellas would certainly become the fad.

No wonder I see them so often…… But in that case, perhaps, that 6th Day of the Six Kings Festival, a day littered with baby castella stalls everywhere, isn’t actually just a gag and was probably a rather possible sight.

[Since we’re at it, would you like to try some?]

[Why not? I don’t get a chance to eat taiyaki very often, and this is my first time eating a Danish taiyaki, so I’m looking forward to it.]

As I suggested that we stop thinking about that for the time being and just eat one, Lilia-san nodded with a smile.

[Well then, I will……]

[Ahh, Anima, I’ll go with you.]

The thoughtful Anima was going to quickly represent our group and buy it, but since there were so many of us, I thought it would be hard for her to do it alone, so I decided to go with her.

It looks like they had both red bean paste and custard flavors, so buying equal amounts of both flavors, I paid for them and left the stall to return to the others.

On the way back though, Anima unexpectedly muttered to me.

[……Master, didn’t the stall owner earlier look a little like Vier-dono?]

[Ah~~ Speaking of which, they certainly had the same hair color and length, so if you look at her from a distance, indeed……]

When I turned around to check again, I saw that the woman who owns the Danish taiyaki stall had the same hair color as Dr. Vier, and even her stature looked the same.

Well, when I looked at her up close earlier, I can easily recognize that she isn’t Dr. Vier because their faces are different, but if you look at her from a distance, it wouldn’t be strange for others to get them mixed up.

……Arehh? Why do I feel like I heard something like this somewhere before? When was it again……

Serious-senpai : [I never thought that Vier (temp) would make her reappearance.]

? ? ? : [No, she didn’t make a reappearance. That’s the first time that woman was mentioned……]
