Just as Shiro-san suddenly arrived, Shiro-san also suddenly set off fireworks on her way back. Well, putting that aside…… I have a feeling Chris-san and the others are considerably worrying about that mysterious firework forming into otherworld letters, but for the time being, there’s no way for me, who is over here, to assess the situation on that side, so I will just leave it at that.
Just when I thought that Shiro-san left and things are now settled…… Fate-san suddenly appeared in front of me.
[……Eh? She went back!?]
[Shiro-san? Yes, she already went back home.]
Although Fate-san was unusually flustered that she hadn’t even spoken who she was talking about, it was needless for me to think who she was referring to.
When I told her that Shiro-san already left, Fate-san’s tense expression relaxed and seemingly deflating, she collapsed on a suddenly appearing floating cushion.
[Haahhh~~ Well, I’m glad but…… I, uhhh, rushed here, you know……]
[Ahh, after you sensed the moment Shiro-san appeared?]
[Unnn. I really rushed here. We knew that if Shallow Vernal-sama appeared here, it would cause a huge commotion, so I used my Authority of Fate to quickly prevent people from reaching this area and manipulated people’s memories to ensure that what happened here wouldn’t spread…… After needing to consider various things, I kinda feel mentally drained…… Well, at least things turned out well.]
I see, I think I can guess the general situation. The Supreme Gods probably sensed Shiro-san’s magic power and went into a frenzy at the party venue.
When Shiro-san comes to the Human Realm or the Demon Realm, it’s almost always with all Gods, so Fate-san probably rushed to the scene in an attempt to respond quickly.
Perhaps, just like that time when I first met her, Fate-san came to use her Authority of Fate to keep people at a distance…… Well, Fate-san came all prepared for that purpose, but Shiro-san returned immediately, and considering how this actually leads to the best result, she’s probably having complex feelings right now.
[Haahhh~~ I’m mentally exhausted…… Kai-chan, hug me, pet me…… pamper me.]
[……I don’t know what you’re demanding me that for…… Yes, yes. Like this?]
[Haahhh~~ I’m feeling healed~~]
Fate-san swiftly moved from the front of the shop to the back and hugged me, so I lightly embraced her as requested and gently stroked her head. Perhaps due to mental fatigue, she seemed to enter a state of rest for a while. Somehow, a somewhat relaxed atmosphere suddenly appeared around us, and I couldn’t help smiling wryly.
At the venue where the Founding Festival party was being held, Chronois, with a serious expression on her face, was looking out the window at the sky.
[……The symbols from before…… I often saw Shallow Vernal-sama use those, so those fireworks must be done by Shallow Vernal-sama.]
[I heard from Kaito-san that those were otherworld letters, and Shallow Vernal-sama apparently uses them when she’s in a relatively good mood……]
[Fumu, in that case, we can take it as Shallow Vernal-sama satisfied for the time being.]
After hearing Chronois’ muttering, Lilia added some explanations, and upon hearing those words, Chronois looked relieved. At the very least, it seemed that the situation didn’t turn into one where they had upset Shallow Vernal’s mood……
Well, with the mysterious fireworks going off in the sky above the Imperial Capital, Chris looked as if she was about to faint……
As Chronois and Lilia exchanged such a conversation, Life came up to them.
[God of Time and Space. For the time being, I told God of Thoughts that there’s no longer any need for them to come this way.]
[Yeah…… Even so, I couldn’t understand the situation. It is certain that Shallow Vernal-sama returned, but the circumstances surrounding her return remain a mystery. Perhaps Miyama was able to persuade her successfully?]
[It seems like God of Fate has yet to return.]
[I can sense her magic power in the location of Miyama’s stall, so she’s probably confirming the situation over there. She should return once she confirms the situation, so if God of Fate says that there’s no problem anymore, we can lift the blockade here.]
For the time being, with Shallow Vernal’s departure, the atmosphere has calmed down to some extent. Once Fate, who is probably confirming the details with Kaito, comes back, they can hear the full story and bring this matter to a close……
Or so they were thinking, but Fate opted to act spoiled around Kaito and slacked off on what others consider her duty, not even bothering to confirm the circumstances…… Not going back until Chronois finally ran out of patience and angrily picked her up……
**********
Serious-senpai: [Fate starts slacking off as naturally as breathing…… Certainly, since the Airhead God had already returned, she got no reason to work seriously…… And at the end of the festival, Chris’ stomach receives tremendous additional damage. This is but an initiation for a new Stomachache Warrior.]
