Even after Amaterasu-san and Mana-san left, our stall continued to operate smoothly. Compared to when the festival had just started, more people are arriving in the area as noon comes and we are getting more customers, but there's still plenty of space around and some times when we have no customers.
[Look, look, Kaito. Baby castella skewers!]
[I remember Kuro making something similar back when we had barbeque.]
[W- What did you say... As expected of Kuromu-sama...]
As Tre-san pierced baby castellas on what looked like bamboo skewers, wondering where she got those, I wryly smiled. Incidentally, the baby castellas that Tre-san had pierced are the ones that were left halfway through packaging in the bag or were slightly misshapen when baked, so they were moved to the side for us to eat.
[Kaito, Kaito, turn here and open your mouth.]
[Mouth? Like this?]
[Here.]
[Mnghh... What are you suddenly doing?]
I had somewhat expected this, but as I thought, when I opened my mouth, a baby castella was thrown in. Unnn, it tastes good, but how should I say this... Her actions were sudden just as usual.
[Kaito and I were close after all. I read about this in a book. People in your world do this, right? Wouldn't this mean we're almost lovers already?]
[You're mistaken.]
[I'm mistaken huh~~ Eh? Wait, which part of what I said am I mistaken?]
Seeing Tre-san dexterously tilting her head while happily smiling, I chuckled. How should I say this... She's as fun-loving as ever, and her easy going nature makes for good conversation.
Moreover, while we're operating our stall, I can see that Tre-san has good communication skills, and is very well suited to serving customers.
[Yes, yes. A bag of regular baby castellas, right!? Here you go! We've added a little bit of extra just for you. Yes, you gave just the right amount, thanks~~]
The smile she has as she serves the customers makes those who see it happy, making the atmosphere around us great. This is Tre-san's charm. Her strong point.
While I was serving customers, having such a thought in mind, an elderly gentleman in an elegant suit... Magnawell-san, arrived with Frea-san.
[I'm glad to see you're doing well, Miyama Kaito.]
[Welcome, Magnawell-san. Frea-san too.]
[Sorry to bother you, my comrade.]
The tall, calm, elderly Magnawell-san and the short, youthful Frea-san stood side by side, as if a grandfather and his granddaughter had come to buy something together.
[Even so, I thought the same thing back at the White God Festival, but there sure are so many people around. Perhaps, it's because I haven't had many opportunities to see it from this height before, but seeing how there are actually this many people is surprising.]
[Ahh~~ I guess looking down at Magnawell-san's usual size and actually looking at it in the size of a human are quite different, aren't they?]
[Umu. It's fresh and quite interesting... Ohh, we can't just keep immersing ourselves in the conversation. Give me and Nidzveld a bag of each kind, four bags in total.]
[Yes. Two bags of regular and chocolate-filled baby castellas. Please wait a moment...]
The previous White God Festival was the first time Magnawell-san had participated in a festival from the same perspective as other people.
However, since he was also a guest of honor at the White God Festival, he seemed to have limited himself to a short tour in the middle-level, but the atmosphere is different in the middle-level, where the number of people was limited, and the crowded Founding Festival, where the atmosphere seems to be very enjoyable.
[Working on something close together like this must be nice. If I had been available, I would have liked to participate, but I tend to be a guest of honor at festivals like this, so it's difficult.]
[Ahh~~ Lilia-san said something similar. People in high positions would have problems like that huh.]
[Indeed... However, looking at my comrade's stall, I really feel like wanting to try that out given the opportunity. How about it, Magnawell-sama? How about having something like a Harmonic Symphony in our camp?]
[I see, that sounds interesting. The Dragons are often grouped together in a small circle. It might be a good idea to create an opportunity for them to get to know other races. Let's hear everyone's opinions and consider this again.]
Now that he can participate in the festival directly... Magnawell-san seems to be interested in holding a festival in his own camp, and he seems to be enthusiastic about Frea-san's proposal.
A festival mainly held by Dragons and Demons huh... If that comes true, I bet Lilia-san and people like her will be very happy.
Having such thoughts in mind, I enjoyed chatting with Magnawell-san and the others until our next customers arrived.
< Afterword >
Serious-senpai : [How strange. Thinking of a festival in the Dragon King camp, I couldn't help but think that it would end up being a date with Lilia...]
