The battle against the Empire is over.
　So the peaceful school life has come to an end, but one day, I noticed that the whole town was extremely busy, and I asked Lara about it.

'Huh?　Kurt, you don't know?　We have Culture Day coming up in a month.

　After school.
　Lara rolled her eyes and replied.

"Culture Day........
If you don't know, I can explain it to you.
No,

　As you can imagine, I've been reincarnated in this era and I've learned a lot.
　He unravels his memories and continues on the Culture Day, "As I recall, 500 years ago, there was a coup d'état in the kingdom to overthrow the oppressive Aurelian King.

"If I recall correctly, that was the day 500 years ago when we successfully carried out a coup d'état against the oppressive Aurelian King.
Mmm-hmm.
"The Foolish King Aurelian engaged in a variety of foolish politics, but the one that stood out was the one that stood out, namely, 'erasing culture. Culture gets in the way of politics. That people would be corrupted by useless entertainment such as theatre and painting. Perhaps it was also the case that culture brought people together and prevented them from thinking about anything else...
That's right.

　But the Fool King's politics did not last long.
　The Fool King had a brother.

　His second son was a brilliant political scientist, but he was exiled because he was considered dangerous by his brother.
　The second son's supporters came to his aid and collaborated with him in a coup d'etat to defeat the foolish king.

With the second son as king, there was a return of culture to the kingdom. I understand that this day has been designated as Culture Development Day and is celebrated in the capital.
That's it!　Kurt, you're really good at this. It didn't look like he had much common sense, but he has a perfect grasp of history!　I didn't know that much about it, either.

　Lara spluttered.
　How insane did they think I was before?

Didn't Kurt's hometown have a tradition of celebrating Culture Day?
Unfortunately, it's a rural area. I've heard of it, but I don't have any particular interest in it.
I'm not from the capital, so I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I am not from the royal capital, so this is the first time we are having Culture Day here, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time.

　Lara held out her arms and spun around.

"In celebration of Culture Day, the entire royal capital will be holding a 'culture festival'.
Oh, festivities.
''Yes. Of course, the school also organizes various events to make the festival more exciting. You will find that the entire city is in a hurry to get ready for this festival. I think the entire capital is in a hurry because they are preparing for the festival.

　That sounds like fun.

'Does Kurt not like this kind of thing?'
Why?
It's just that you don't seem to be interested in anything but fighting.

　Ha, what is Lara talking about?

　It's true that a cultural festival in and of itself would not be of any use in a fight at all.
　When the entire royal capital is up in the air like this, it's not necessarily true that other countries won't invade.

　However.

You may not see it that way, but I like the sideshow. ''I'm looking forward to the cultural festival.''

　--So I'm looking forward to it.

　Life is about taking a break.
　It's important to celebrate past achievements and connect them to the future.　
　It's why I've been incarnating for a thousand years.　I think it's because they are bored with life and despair.
　Hence, how could I dislike an event such as a cultural festival?

Oh, thank God!

　Lara's face lit up and she smiled.

I wanted to enjoy the school festival with Kurt. Let's go to the shops together.
Yeah.
'Oh, you just nodded, didn't you?　Don't forget, do you?
Of course.

　Lara's cheeks turned pink and she said, "I see.................so you can have a culture festival date with Kurt? I'm going to be able to have a look at it," he said, smiling happily.

　What in the world is this?

''Oh, first we have to work hard in class.
You said you were going to open a store and... What are you going to do?
It's going to be decided now! The class with the best performance is given a simple prize at Magical Academy. I'm sure that if you win the MVP award, it will be reflected in your grade... and most importantly, everyone will be happy!　I have to work hard.

　Lara clenched her fists.

　Is there such a thing?
　Totally. I don't think it's going to end with just having fun.

"Lara, you don't have to worry about it.

　I imagined the day of the festival and said to myself, "I'm going to do everything to win.

I will try to win at all costs. As long as I'm in this class, I'll be the best in the school festival.
