19 Chapter 19. How to enjoy the festival One day, I, Arell, was seriously thinking about something.
‘Come to think of it, that was a blind spot... …
When people are free, they tend to have a lot of random thoughts.
As usual, I was looking for something to play with, and I suddenly realized something important.
A weakness is a weakness.
While pursuing only the development of the city, such as casinos, etc., I missed one obvious thing.
‘This is a mistake... …
Arel mistake!
If yes, it is something that needs to be improved. Humans are reflective beings.
think and reflect and crash again Infinite loop like that.
That's why I talked to everyone seriously that evening.
“… … Actually, I realized something.”
“oh? Looks like you're about to do something outrageous again. Whoop whoop.”
“ok… … does that happen? Haven't I said anything yet?”
“sure. It's none other than Arel-sama.”
Asha was smiling as if she couldn't help it, and showed a passing attitude as if everyone were the same.
Gently, as if familiar, it spills out with the feeling that it always happens.
Pena also shook her head lightly.
“Arel. Last time, after suddenly bringing up that story, you went to a snowy mountain to play, right?”
“dad! I want to play again!”
Arna's eyes also sparkled.
No, let's go again next time. Arna, I don't know if you want to play, but everyone is avoiding their eyes as if they're embarrassed.
After all, snow, kids, and puppies are the strongest. Adults chase and stretch.
And it's a story that even kids like Arna will love.
“Actually, I'm on my way back from last time I had something to talk with Marquis Karet, but he's doing something in that city.”
“What were you doing?”
“They say it’s a festival.”
“Hey?????
They nodded their heads as if there was nothing surprising.
“Because it’s a festival, there was definitely one in my hometown. It's something like a harvest festival, though.”
He explained as if he missed Seina.
In their case, harvest is harvest, but it was hunting.
Every year, when wild animals or monsters come down due to lack of food, they hunt and enjoy the results.
“There is something similar in the magic tower, but… …
In the case of the Mage's Tower, elements such as academic presentations are strong. Maybe that's why it's not a very pleasant memory.
“The apprentice level wizards almost died mentally at that time.”
“Well, those difficulties are the same everywhere.”
To put it in perspective, does it feel like a good student being bullied by a university professor?
“I know there are many things. Actually, there was something similar during the royal era.”
It's just an event to commemorate the founding of the country or some other national holiday.
“Come to think of it, that was not enough for us. It feels like playing.”
“???? yes?”
“???? what?”
Eh?”
yes'?”
What is your reaction now? hello? Why are you reacting like I'm suddenly saying something nonsense?
“Did I just say something strange?”
“But Arell? Do you remember what you did last time?”
“The other day? ah… … Come to think of it, have you been to the sea in a while?”
“Before that?”
“Did you go to the Dragon City side to play?”
“So what is missing?”
“Playing.”
Everyone's eyes are amazing.
Well, I'm aware of it too.
“At least two is a joke.”
“… … Ugh, is the rest serious?”
“anyway! The dry money I said was lacking means something else.”
So far, it means that we have been playing around with each other in a simple way.
But you have to look a little broader.
“By the way, Fahilia didn’t have a festival or such a concept yet.”
“Is that why you brought up the same story just now?”
Dia nodded in agreement.
“What is the festival?”
Meanwhile, Arna tilted her head as if she was unfamiliar.
look In that respect, it is a weak point.
“Just in case, I asked people who knew Fahilia in the past, and they said there was a similar event.”
There are festivals everywhere to soothe the human mind and body. It also has other purposes.
For example, in rural areas, there were also festivals to honor folk beliefs.
Fahilia was no exception.
“Eh? Was there anything like that here?”
Seina tilted her head in surprise. She, who had been appointed here once in the past, also had an expression that she had never heard of before.
“I've never heard of it... …
“Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it because it was hard to make a living.”
“aha??????
In the end, if you don't have the minimum margin, you can't do that either.
“From ancient times, tradition should be considered important. cancer.”
“Come now?!”
Clearing the snow and mountains in this place, clearing the village, and making the city, I say, it is indeed overflowing with credibility.
“Anyway, it's a pity that Fahilia doesn't have an event like this.”
“The purpose is understandable… …
The excuses are plausible. Not because I want to play. It's a concern for tradition, local residents, and guests.
iced coffee. The true lord is here.
“Isn’t it like a revelation? huh. it's a revelation It must mean that this true lord will revive the traditions of this land.”
“Wow... You're shameless.”
“Arell-sama’s way of saying things like this is too strong.”
“That’s what I mean.”
In any case, not everyone was against it. I understood the purpose, and the intention was not particularly bad.
And they understand that recreating the festival is fun in many ways.
“So, from now on, we're going into the festival season!”
This is a matter that has already been decided.
worse than war. And seriously.
I decided to recreate the festival in Fahilia.
Build a city, build a tourist destination, and establish a tradition.
and i play
It's perfect.
What was the festival of Fahilia in the past? Of course I don't know that far.
Then, who knows the old tradition well?
Of course there is nothing to ask.
“It is truly an honor. I never thought the lord would call this old man to hear such a shabby story... …
While terribly embarrassed, the old man did not know what to do.
One of the village chiefs who led one of the villages before the city of Fahilia was founded.
“You seem to know the oldest story well, don’t you?”
“Not quite like that, but… … I'm worried if I can at least answer the lord's questions.”
“First, listen to what you know.”
As I waited leisurely to listen to his story, the old man began to speak slowly, as if retrieving his own memory, about the old Fahilia.
“this is… … It is a story that has been handed down since the days of our ancestors.”
?Uh?
“Originally, it is said that Pahilia was an uninhabited land.”
Originally, it is an uninhabited land.
However, it seems that back then it was not as far as the land where the snow does not melt.
For the purpose of pioneering it in the Kingdom of Ernesia at the time, it was sent by supporting migrants, and people came to live there.
“In fact, there is a little anecdote about the reason for the settlement. … … Whether it's true or not, even this old man doesn't know.”
“An anecdote? say it.”
As I said, Fahilia at the time was uninhabited.
And those who received the order to pioneer the place and became the ancestors of the current residents came.
However, it seems that he had no intention of settling here at first.
I understand.
Common sense suggests that there would be no desire to build a house in snowy land.
‘I'm the only one shouting cheers in a snowy land.'
I am aware that I am not normal.
“The ancestors said they saw something strange here. How do you say that you settled here as a result?”
“It's strange...
It must have been something that made him decide to settle down here.
Once I heard about their settlement.
long long time ago.
It is said that there were people who came from distant lands.
They were looking for a new place to live.
The King of the Kingdom of Ernesia at the time wanted pioneering in as many lands as possible among the empty territories of the kingdom, and the lords who were blinded by their achievements were busy wiping out the people of the territory.
Their position was similar. Pushed by the lord's compulsion, he walked and walked to find a new home.
Then we reached this cold, cold land.
A biting wind was blowing and even snow was falling.
It might get better after winter, but at least I never thought of settling down here.
“What should I do?”
“Should we go on like this? or not… … Should I go back?”
Their mission is to pioneer this land. However, no matter how far we go, there is no hope here.
Above all, it was not easy to establish a village.
The pickaxe breaks and the tent is blown upside down by a wind that mixes snow and ice.
“This place is like hell.”
“If I live in a place like this, I will freeze to death within a month.”
“Are you telling us to die?”
Pioneers complained as one. It gradually became a dangerous atmosphere.
It's nothing strange if a fight breaks out right away.
Rather than freezing to death, there is a better chance of surviving by escaping.
The most difficult person was, of course, a man with a position to lead the pioneers.
You cannot violate the lord's command.
Even so, leading them on the run would be hopeless.
“I… … I'll see you in a while.”
Taking his own risk, he decided to come and see if there was any good place.
There is nothing to say even if those who can't stand it anyway start a rebellion.
Even if you try to convince them, you won't be able to overcome those who have run out of patience.
I'd rather die wandering through that snowy forest with even a faint hope.
I had that kind of feeling.
“Kuh… … It's cold... …
Cold and hunger plague him.
This is what happens when you wander through a snowy forest without any countermeasures.
There is no hope.
Then maybe it's better to close your eyes... … .
However, instead of helplessly closing his eyes, he had to open his eyes in amazement.
“That one… …
There is something. However, it is neither a monster nor a beast.
In an instant, the snow stopped.
No, it doesn't stop there. The accumulated snow... … The cold things that covered his body disappeared from this area like a lie.
“I can't believe it… …
As if possessed by something, he gazed beyond it.
There is a girl with blue wings.
But I don't think I'm human.
Above all, there was no way humans could live in a place like this, and the aura that that girl gave off was extremely heterogeneous.
What if not human? monster?
or something else.
However, he was unable to think complexly with his hazy head.
He just acted instinctively.
I don't know why, but I thought I had to do this.
“please!”
He fell down and groaned.
He said he had no other thoughts.
“Please allow me to live on this land!”
He begged the girl for some reason.
“I have nowhere to go! Allow me to live on this earth! Please protect us!”
Why should I ask permission?
What kind of existence is that girl?
It was instinct. I felt as if I couldn't do it without the permission of that being.
“Give me a favor and I will never forget you! So please watch over me!”
But will that girl listen to me being so condescending? No, will the words work in the first place?
Let him barely raise his head in such anxiety.
“… … hmm?!”
does not exist.
As if he had seen something in vain, the girl was gone.
Am I really mistaken? He was puzzled and barely got himself up.
Strangely, the body moved.
In the end, he had to return without achieving any results.
But what greeted him was a truly unexpected sight.
eyes are weak
The cold that had been bothering them so much had weakened, and the land, though harsh, was becoming a place where people could live.
Even if it is less fertile than other territories, at least it is not a reason not to settle here.
“What a miracle… …
He was sure he hadn't seen anything wrong. His plea worked.
He deeply appreciates the unknown being and never forgets it... … And it is said that he made a decision not to forget that gratitude in future generations. How
