Uncle, I want to eat this too!

　A dark-haired girl with bangs that reached below her eyes was buying and eating at a festival stall.

'Here you go. You look so good eating, young lady.

Because it's so good!

Okay. Okay, this is a service.

　The old man at the stall puts a small curry bun in the girl's hand.

'Are you sure?'

'Oh!　That's because it's one of our most popular products. You gotta try it.

I understand. Thank you!



Hehehe. I've been served. The people of this country are very kind.

　A girl away from the stall mumbles and puts her hand on the curry bread she was given.

'Yeah, yeah!　This bread is delicious too!　That stall is around. We're going to keep it.

　He took out a pen and paper from his pocket and a girl was writing something down.

"Glendale, King's Landing, delicious curry buns from the stall, last to be destroyed...

　After taking notes, the girl put away her paper and pen and began to make her way through the crowd of people crowded with the festival again.


''Hmm. What would you like to bring back to the evil gods?

　The girl was a shikigami who served the evil god.
　The evil god is still sleeping.

　The gods that were supposed to serve them were sleeping all the time, so the shikigami, who were bored, came to play in the human world like this.　


''Oh!　Soooooooooo....

　The shikigami is transfixed by a huge ice monument installed in the central square of the royal capital.

　It was created by Undine, the Spirit King of Water, in cooperation with Sylph, the Spirit King of Wind.

　The country of Glendale is promised a bountiful harvest thanks to Undine's blessings. Four times a year, a festival is held in this way for the people to show their gratitude to her.

　This year was the fiftieth anniversary of Undine's blessing on the country, and so she had presented it with an ice monument.

　Dazzled by it, the shikigami didn't look ahead.


''──Ah!''
"Whoa?

　I bumped into the back of a young man with dark hair and black eyes.

''I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at the road ahead and...

　The shikigami couldn't help but admire the young man with a well-formed face.

''I'll be fine. But it's going to be crowded down the road, so please be careful.''

'Yes, sir!　I'm really, really sorry.

　Any further conversation was going to make the young man more concerned, so he turned away and tried to leave as soon as possible.

''Oh, wait a minute. There's trash on your back, I'll take it off.......yes. It's fine now.''

　The young man seemed to have taken the leaves from the shikigami's back.

　His smile was dazzling as he showed her the leaf, and the shikigami found himself blushing.

'Well, I'll take it then. Festival, have fun!

　Saying that, the young man left the shikigami's presence.

　The shikigami followed his back with his eyes until he was out of sight.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ********──.

''Oh, I've got it. I didn't buy a souvenir for the evil gods...

　The shikigami who had returned to the God Realm noticed.

''Well. Evil God-sama is still sleeping, so it's fine.''

What?　What's the point?
''──?''

　Suddenly, a voice called out from behind and the shikigami turned around in surprise.

''Evil God-sama!　Oh, you're awake!

　There stood the evil god with a still sleepy expression on his face.

''Ah. I woke up just now........so?　What do you bring back?

'Well what are you talking about?

Huh? Are you going to cut the white out of it? Well... that curry bread looks pretty good, doesn't it?

Well, that's not what happened.

Oh. I'm up. Well, you looked really happy. You left me sleeping, and you're the only one in the human world participating in a festival for the human race.

Ugh.

　The evil god's words stabbed at the shikigami.

'So?　Was that curry bread thing good?

'Yes!　It's so delicious...

''Then go and buy one for me, too!

　The evil god's shout echoed throughout the temple.



　Incidentally, the shikigami had firmly brought the souvenir back to the temple of the evil god.

　That souvenir was ...


Hey. Your clothes ... did you have that magic circle on your back?

A magic circle?　What are you talking about?

　The evil god noticed the magic circle attached to the shikigami's back.

''Eh, what is this?''

　There was a magic circle affixed to his clothes that even a ceremonial god serving a god would have to look very closely to notice.

　The shikigami hurriedly took off her jacket and threw it on the floor of the temple.

　That magic circle was not attached to her body.

''It's not some kind of curse, is it?　A shikigami who serves me (evil god) is cursed, that's not funny at all.

'So far, I don't seem to have a problem with it but what in the world is this magic circle?

Hey. Let me check it out for you... ahhh?

　The evil god who picked up the shikigami's jacket on the floor was surprised.

　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

''What's going on.......what is this?

Wow, I don't even know what I'm talking about.

　After that, the evil gods and the ceremonial gods tried their best, but the magic circle did not disappear from the temple of the evil gods.


　

'Master Hurt. What has happened to that magic circle?

　In the living room of the mansion, Tina calls out to Hurt, who has created a small magic circle at hand and is looking at it, curious.

　The question is answered by Hurt with a smile.


''This is. I'm sure you'll be able to get a passport to visit a certain god.
