Chapter 084
“Oh my, this is [Mira’s Choice].”
“Hoh?”
At night, I showed everyone the items for apology. It seems that Seliana knew the title as soon as she saw the painting.
“Is it a famous painting?”
It is a painting of a woman in a red dress, and from the left, a man who looks like a prince, a splendidly dressed old man, and a naked macho guy kneeling.
What the hell?
I didn’t have any impressions other than that… is it expensive?
“I’m talking about its motif. It is often given to adult women by their families. It means you should not be blinded by power and wealth.”
“Hou, hou.”
So that’s it.
Some kind of teachings?
What is this macho on the right?
Since she didn’t bother speaking about it, probably being unfaithful?
“But why to me?”
“It’s also famous as a painting, and it might be because they heard about [Mira’s Blessing]? They should not be stupid enough to give meanings to the item of apology they are sending to you.”
That sounds a little harsh, but it’s true.
“Speaking of which, what are you going to do for the founding festival tomorrow? Elena and I are going to the castle.”
“Hmm? I’ll be rolling around and relax in my room?”
“…don’t commoners look forward to festivals?”
Well, it’s true that the whole royal capital has a slightly glamorous atmosphere.
It was also like that when I was in the city of Lutor.
But…
“At this time, I was always forced to wash the dishes at the bar from morning till night. The customers are coming endlessly, so… I wished they die.”
I’m getting annoyed now that I remember…
“…Alex, take her with you tomorrow.”
“I understand. So I can’t drink huh…”
Alex nodded while shrugging his shoulders.
“We’re going back to Zerkis next year, so this might be your last chance to see the royal capital’s founding festival. You should let him take you to see it.”
Elena says to me who was pulling a long face.
Well, I just messed up recently, so I’ll listen to you.
“Oh and.”
When I was about to agree to go to the festival, Seliana started talking as if she remembered something.
“Tomorrow, wear a dress. It’s an item of apology, so you should wear it properly.”
“…ha?”
◇
I don’t know the official name, but it’s basically a festival commemorating the founding of the kingdom.
There are three days in all, and there are various events at the royal castle, such as the display of the sacred sword, which is a national treasure.
However, only nobles, foreign dignitaries, and those who have been invited after making some kind of achievement can see it.
It’s just an aristocratic event.
What about commoners?
They are also covered.
During these three days, it is usually necessary to go through several examinations and obtain permission, but during this period, you can open a stall just by applying.
Furthermore, it seems that this applies to all shops, not just street stalls. All sales during this period are exempt from tax.
I don’t know what kind of tax collection system they have, but I know one thing.
Is this the reason why I’ve been busy?
“What’s wrong?”
“Gunununu…”, I groaned and maybe he heard me, Alex called out to me.
“No, I just thought there were too many people.”
We left the aristocratic district and came to the commercial district. Not only the shops that usually serve meals were there, but also the new shops lined up.
It’s still early in the day, but there are a lot of people who are especially looking for them.
“Although those from other territories won’t come, those within the area around the royal capital would come after all. Don’t get off, okay? I can’t find you if we are separated.”
“Aight~.”
By the way, I’m on Alex’s shoulder.
Wearing a red dress, red hat, and red shoes.
It’s a lady’s style.
I heard last night that Mira is usually depicted in red clothes.
Everything I’m wearing right now is a gift, but it might also be connected there.
It’s amazing how they were able to prepare these things in a short amount of time.
I felt their sincerity.
However, my whole body is red.
It’s flashy.
I didn’t get permission because I would stand out too much by using my [Floating Orb] in this outfit even if there are more people than usual.
As a result, I could only sit on Alex’s shoulder while carrying the [Floating Orb].
The [Floating Orb] itself has no weight so it’s not a burden, but I’m making him take care of me because of this.
