Chapter 973 - Intermission : Each Place's Night before the Event

The White G.o.d Festival was approaching the next day, and people everywhere were talking about it.

In a castle in the Land of Death, in the northernmost part of the Demon Realm, the Death King, Isis, was in a good mood as she was drinking tea.

[You seemed to be in a good mood, Isis-sama?]

[Unnn Tomorrow is the White G.o.d Festival When I partic.i.p.ate in the Festival of Heroes I was by myself but I have Iris and Polaris with me now so Im really happy.]

When Iris asked this, Isis looked so happy that it could be clearly seen even from the side. Being one of the pinnacles of the Demon Realm, she is invited to not only the Festival of Heroes, but also the founding festivals of the three Human Kingdoms.

But up until now, Isis had no subordinates, and whenever she partic.i.p.ated, she was always by herself Seeing the other members of the Six Kings partic.i.p.ating with their companions always made her feel more lonely.

If she were to be honest, Isis didnt even like partic.i.p.ating in the Festival of Heroes very much. She just partic.i.p.ated in it out of obligation, but she always felt depressed attending.

[Ive also been estranged from such events for a long time, so Im looking forward to it.]

[Its fine to look forward to it, but make sure you dont embarra.s.s yourself as Isis-samas subordinate, understand?]

[Youre so stiff, Head-dono.]

But this time, its different. The current Isis has two subordinates, and both Iris and Polaris will be accompanying Isis to the White G.o.d Festival.

This made Isis very happy, and as the day of the White G.o.d Festival approached, her mood was getting better and better, so much that the people around her could tell that she was really looking forward to it.

Seeing such an Isis, Iris and Polaris smiled and sitting at the same table as Isis, they enjoyed chatting with each other over tea.

Around the same time, in a room in the headquarters of the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company in the Demon Realm, there was a certain person with two guards beside her.

[Listen here, Esteemed Sister Tre! Youre allowed to partic.i.p.ate, but youre not to leave our side!]

[Unn, unnn! Im looking forward to the festival~~ I wanna visit a lot of stalls~~]

[Cien.]

[Cento, I dont think telling her off would be of any use. Lets just be more careful than usual.]

While Tre happily smiled, Cento and Cien looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.

The White G.o.d Festival was expected to be very crowded, and it would be difficult for them to find Tre once she got lost. Thats why the two of them hoped that they could just not partic.i.p.ate in this festival.

However, the two of them, who had a soft spot for Tre for some reason, were persuaded to allow her to partic.i.p.ate in the festival.

[Even though it was our fault for being swept along the flow, just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt.]

[Unnn We basically should just walk while holding Esteemed Sisters hands and never let go With the size of the White G.o.d Festival, if she slips out of our attention, its highly likely that we wont find her again.]

[Id like to know if we could ask Esteemed Sister Zwei to keep an eye on her as well]

[Id appreciate it if we could, but Esteemed Sister Zwei was apparently working tomorrow and couldnt attend]

Even though Tre was feeling cheerful about tomorrow, Cento and Cien were discussing countermeasures for the White G.o.d Festival, feeling more anxious and trepid than usual.

Human Realm, in the garden in Kaitos home, Nebula and Illness were having a final meeting about the renovation of the garden.

[From that area, lets smooth it out It would be a path for visitors to pa.s.s]

[Lets seeee. Regarding Kaito-samas hooooome, I dont think there will be many visitooooors that would come riding a carriaaaaaage, so I dont think the path needs to be too laaaaaarge.]

[Yes! Next would be the flower beds, right? So that they wont be a hindrance when Bellfreed and Lindwurm play, they should be placed around here.]

[Yeeees~~ It looks like this area also was as we arraaaaanged.]

After receiving permission from Kaito to renovate the garden, Nebula and Illness held many meetings to finalize the renovation plan, and it was completed with almost no modifications to be made.

As for executing it, with the two of them, much less a day, they should be able to finish the renovation in less than half a day, and what theyre doing now is just a final confirmation that they can proceed as planned.

[Ahhh~~ We also talked about this befoooore~~ Regarding tea leaaaaves, but considering Kaito-samas preferenceeees~~ I think tea leaves in that area is greaaaaat.]

[Theyre indeed great! They all make good tea leaves, and they are easy to blend with other teas. Milord likes teas that arent too strong, doesnt he?]

[Yeeeess~~ He prefers simple teas and those with a bit of sweetneeeeess. On the other hand thouuuuuugh, he doesnt like those with strong flavooooors.]

[I see Their tea leaves certainly are great. Their tea has a subtle sweetness even when served without sweeteners, and it goes well with cookies.]

With the meeting about the renovation of the garden over, the two of them read through a book of tea leaves that Illness brought with her, and discussed what they would grow in the garden behind the mansion.

Although they hadnt known each other for very long, they felt comfortable with each other and became good friends, happily discussing what they thought would make Kaito happy.

Serious-senpai : [Tre would probably slip away from them again]
