Oh, oh, oh!"　There are so many people!

　The entire city of the capital of the Kingdom of Races was currently in a state of festival due to the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Kingdom of Races" being held.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not only the original residents, but also merchants who saw the festival as a commercial opportunity, people like us who came to enjoy the festival, and security soldiers filled the main street.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazuna, who was holding hands with Yume, exclaimed in surprise at the sheer volume of people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are more people here than at a New Year's Eve festival!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There seemed to be so many people that even Yume, who had lived in the capital of a racial kingdom for several years, was impressed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's probably why this festival, the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom," is attracting so much attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We gathered on the side of the road and gave Yume and Nazuna our attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As you can see, there are a lot of people on the streets, so make sure you hold hands and don't get lost. Also, you must follow our instructions. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to call us.

All right, Goshu--Master Dirk!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll follow everyone's instructions to the letter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazna almost calls me 'master.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In case you are wondering, I am currently only a member of the "Black Clown" party that escorts the daughter of a wealthy merchant and her two milk sisters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, since it is not nice to be called 'master' or 'ni-chan,' I had asked them to call me 'Dirk,' which was my pseudonym when I was an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume's "Ni-chan" was not so bad, but Nazuna's "Master" was not so good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazuna was about to say it right away, but I just barely endured it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While feeling a little uneasy, we immediately paraded around the town, which was now in a festive state.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First of all, I went to the food stalls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sister, look, look, there are sweets for sale!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazuna pointed to a food stall selling sweets.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume proudly told Nazuna and us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are baked cookies with nuts and dried fruits and stuff. They are a staple at festivals and other occasions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow, my sister knows a lot!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Do they sell sweets at festivals in town? ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Personally, I only had the impression of 'a full meal of meat and bread' during the festival in the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the most exciting day of the year, when the New Year was celebrated, the adults drank and the children ate their fill of rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there was not enough time to get even sweet foods, and the custom of "eating sweets" at festivals is not common in villages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is something that can be said to be unique to the town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume has lived here for several years and does not seem to mind the difference from the village festivals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since it was a good opportunity, I bought some baked sweets with nuts and dried fruits kneaded into them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mei pays and receives the baked goods.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It tastes nostalgic," she says. It's not a fancy taste, but it's a simple taste that makes me feel at home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know how hard it is, but my sister is right, this is delicious!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume eats the baked sweets with nostalgia, while Nazuna puts them in her mouth with relish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We were also guards, but since it was a good opportunity, we ate one piece at a time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Yume is right, it's not fancy, but it's a simple taste.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Compared to the sweets and other treats eaten in the lowest levels of the "abyss," the taste is not just one level, but several levels lower. But that does not mean that these baked goods are bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The quality of the ingredients is low, but you can tell that they have put a lot of thought and effort into making them as tasty as possible. And perhaps because of this, the taste is even nostalgic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't help but feel nostalgic.　Tin, I want some of those baked goods, too!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Turning to look back at the voice, I see Lorimera, who has shrunk in stature, standing a short distance away, flirting with Suzu, a girl with a hood over her head standing by her side, and making sweet noises like a girl of her age.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Both of them are guards who are there to keep a distance and protect the yume from the outside. Therefore, they are moving independently so that they appear to have nothing to do with us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mela adjusts her body according to my instructions and changes her appearance into a girl about the same age as the current Yume. Since it would be conspicuous if the girl moved alone, she is accompanied by Suzu as a sister.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tin was leaking a subtle vibe when Mera called her 'onee-chan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Kekekekekekekekekeke!　That's good, Suzu-chan. Buy me some baked goods too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lorimera seems genuinely amused by Suzu's leaking of a subtle atmosphere and takes on the attitude of a young girl in a teasing manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people passing by the sisters were smiling at Lorimera's cute appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These gazes further accelerated Suzu's subtle atmosphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(In a sense, this is a natural interaction.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a jerky movement, Tin pulls out her purse and purchases a baked good from Lorimera.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I too let out a slight giggle at Lorimera's performance and turn my attention back to Yume and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume's next stop is the plaza where the street performance is taking place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Look, Nazna-chan, they are throwing knives!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Knife throwing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazuna twists her head at Yume's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You see, knife-throwing is..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to Yume, there are many street performers in the plaza who show their tricks and receive money from the audience, but there are also those who let their customers play with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A typical example is the knife-thrower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The player pays money and throws three knives at a target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the three knives hit the center of the target, you get back more money than you paid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It can be played anywhere as long as you have a knife and a target, so it is said to be a staple at festivals in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yume will show you how it's done!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume excitedly grabs Nazuna's and my hands and pulls us into line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, she wants to show us how good she is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nemmu also gets in line behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　May and Gold were not in line, but they were there to escort us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When it was Yume's turn, she paid the money May handed her and took the knife.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She turns around and tells me, smiling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Watch me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume turns to the target and throws!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The first one misses, the second one fails to reach the target, and the third one sticks with the edge of the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I did it!　The last time I did it I didn't get one stuck, but I got one!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume is delighted to let go of her hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps because she looked so cute, she received warm applause from the onlookers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's great, little sister!　Then I'll take the next one!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While praising Yume's achievement, Nazuna pays the fee and receives the knife with a gesture of rolling up her arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume's knife, which had been stabbed at the target, is pulled out and she stands at the designated position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazna plays with the three knives handed to her by her father and throws them one by one with her right hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hoi, hoi, hoi!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a quick tempo, he throws the knives with a clank and stabs all three into the middle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The crowd cheers louder each time a knife is stuck in the middle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When all three knives were finally stuck in the middle of the target, they applauded in admiration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazna's chest heaves loudly at the impressed applause from everyone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a level 9999 Nazna, this should be a piece of cake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're doing great, Nazuna!　I can't believe they all went right through the middle of the target!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I've got this much time on my hands!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, that's really great, sweetie. Yes, here's your refund and your prize money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thanks, Uncle!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The store owner hands over the entry fee and double the amount to Nazna.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nazna thanked him with a smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Next, it was my turn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good luck!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gosh--Master Dirk!　Come on, man!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I pay my father and receive three knives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yume and Nazuna cheer me on from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(......) As an elder brother and the lord of the lowest level of the "Abyss," I absolutely must hit the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I myself was ready to show my sisters my dignity as an elder brother and master by raising my knife with renewed vigor.
