130 – Delinia – 4
After the meeting, I returned to the room with Rosé. At first, Ella said she would give me a separate room, but Rosé said, ‘Huh? Gregory-sama and I usually share the same room. You don’t have to give it to me?’
‘Oh, you and Gregory shared the same room?! Continue until now?! What the hell were you doing outside!’
Since the concept of a summoner and a summoner was not properly grasped by Ella yet, I told her about the ‘imaginary space’ and slowly explained that although they share the same room at the academy, they use separate rooms.
‘It’s not like they’re sleeping together after all… … . Sister, you should think more about the fact that you are the eldest daughter of the Euglia family!’
In the end, I was assigned to the room next to Rosé, and I was lying on the bed in the shape of a cockroach to stay comfortable.
“Good… … .”
It felt like being at a resort. The smell of cypress trees filled the room and the sound of birds chirping outside the window. And a room where I can rest alone.
I had no idea how long it had been since I had been lying there peacefully like this.
“… … I just want to lie down and do nothing.”
But in the end, the reality is that tomorrow we have to fight against a powerful enemy called Halloween.
If you were going to send me to a world like this, I would send you to a time when disaster was sealed and peaceful. Why did you come here at the time of disaster?
No, is that why I came at this time?
When I was staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking about things I wouldn’t normally do———
“Gregory! Let’s go to town!”
The door burst open with a voice breaking the peace.
“Oh, sister! Knock and go in!”
“It’s okay~ Gregory-sama is usually in bed at this time aaah?
“Mu, what’s going on, unniyiyiik?!”
Seeing me lying on the bed, the two sisters startled and backed away.
“Ah, it’s Gregory-sama.”
Rosé enters the room with a sigh of relief.
“Really, when I see Gregory-sama in a dark place, I get really startled… … .”
“… … It’s because this is what I saw, so I’m comfortable with this look.”
Since the children have arrived, he returns to his human form and sits on the bed. And Ella, who is looking blankly at Rosé outside as if it is difficult to adapt to such an appearance.
“… … Something, you look used to it. I almost fainted.”
“Hee hee, because he is my summoned beast.”
“… … Didn’t you faint the first time you saw me? I must have passed out three times in a row.”
“Yeah, that’s a thing of the past!”
Rosé shook her head and arms, blushing, as if she was embarrassed to tell the old story in front of Ella.
“Nothing! I’m not here to tell you that! Let’s go to town!”
Rosé repeats the story as she enters the room, perhaps thinking of the purpose of coming here again.
“A village, do you mean the village of Euglia?”
“yes! It’s a Halloween celebration!”
“… … A Halloween celebration?”
Oh, I remembered.
Halloween festival.
A festival created to bring the people of the city and village together in one place, because there is no knowing what kind of unexpected situation will happen in the process of Halloween’s group moving.
That was the Halloween celebration of this world.
However, what surprised me was something else.
“Do elves have Halloween celebrations too?”
Speaking of Halloween, it must have been a festival held only in villages where ordinary humans live.
It was the first time that the elves were holding a Halloween festival.
“yes that’s right.”
The answer to this was given by Ella behind Rosé.
“Originally, elves didn’t have the concept of a Halloween festival… … . It is said that Lily, who returned to her hometown, grabbed the heads of other families and persuaded them about the merits of the Halloween festival. In response, the family heads also said they agreed after hearing the purpose of gathering people in one place to prevent accidents.”
My mother explained it that way when I was little.
Seeing Ella talking like that, Rosé scratched her head and said, ‘Huh? Have you ever talked about that?’
Lily’s persuasion… … . Did something like that happen?
“Just as the sun outside was setting, the villagers must have started to gather. He came with his sister… … Tequila-san and Demonic-sama also decided to go with us.”
Ella lowers her head and talks, perhaps ashamed to call Tequila older sister.
All the other kids are going, but I shouldn’t throw a candle here saying I won’t go.
“It will be fun. Can I leave right now?”
When I asked as I stood up from my seat, Rose smiled and nodded.
“yes!”
On the way out to the lobby on the first floor with Rosé and Ella, Ella glanced at me and opened her mouth.
“I… … . Gregory? I have a question.”
“Are you curious?”
“yes. You said that you were in your room just now in your original form, so do you usually fight in that form when there is a battle?”
“Ah, is that what you mean?”
Maybe it was the same when I first ran into it, and it seemed that it was bothering me because I saw that it was in wheel form in the room.
“It varies from time to time, but usually we fight in that form. But why are you asking that?”
“… … It was just simple curiosity. How the hell are you going to fight like that? doing.”
“is it.”
Certainly, I think Nara would be curious too… … .
“You’ll get tired of watching it tomorrow.”
“I guess so?”
While chatting for a while, we arrived at the lobby on the first floor. First, we see Tequila and Demonic waiting for us at the door.
Even Tequila wearing the academy uniform was convinced. As an outsider, the only thing that could show her identity was her academy uniform.
however.
“… … Tequila. Why is Demonic like that?”
The appearance of Demonic next to him was not at all normal.
A skull with colorful flowers attached to it, and green grass and tree branches hung between the bones.
Its appearance was such that one would believe that it was a forest fairy.
“Oh that one? It’s a collaboration between me, Ella, and Tequila!”
Rosé shouted while looking at Demonic proudly.
… … After all, the culprit was you.
“Demonic managed to accept that.”
Demonic, who was known to be more stubborn than anyone else, would never have thought that he would accept children’s pranks.
After all, 200 years have passed and the Demonic has changed a lot?
“no? At first, I was running away saying I wouldn’t do it, but I managed to catch on and persuade him~”
“… … persuade?”
“yes! I came all the way to Delinia because of Demonic, but you can’t even listen to me! It’s the first festival that Miss Tequila is participating in, can’t you accept something like this! Are you going to close your jawbone after eating the elixir in our house? Well, since you told me like this, they eventually accepted it.”
“… … hmm. Rosé.”
“yes?”
We promised to call it blackmail. I wanted to say that, but Rosé’s face was so naive.
Well, in the end, Demonic accepted too, so isn’t good good?
Rather, it was a plate that should be considered fortunate that he did not ask me for anything.
“It is nothing. Can we leave right now?”
“yes!”
That’s how I go out of Euglia’s mansion with the party. The sun of Delinia is already setting.
The sun slowly sinking behind the distant ridge was slowly disappearing, bathing in the warm twilight glow just by touching it.
“Hiya~ The sun will set soon. The Halloween festivities start after the sun goes down, so hurry up!”
Rosé, who seems to be very excited about going to the festival, walks ahead of us at a faster pace. Seeing that, Ella, who was standing next to me, screamed in amazement.
“sister! Running hurts!”
“are you okay! My sister is invincible!”
As if Rosé would not be able to stop him, he also speeds up and runs to catch Rosé, and Rosé, who is even more excited to see her, speed up.
“hahahaha! Delinia’s runaway locomotive! Rosé is back!”
“That’s not a good nickname! Because don’t run! Alas! Stop smoking! Other people see it!”
“Catch it if you don’t like it~”
Tequila and Tequila walk together while staring blankly at the two ahead of them, so Tequila, who was next to them, speaks first.
“Rosé seems to be on good terms with her younger sister.”
“That’s right. Seeing that, I can understand how Rosé is always bright at the academy.”
Saying that, I look at the two girls who are still running around.
“I set it on fire! I set it on fire now!”
“I mean, it has mana! don’t stop me! This is our family land!”
“If you know that it’s your family’s land, not your sister’s land, that’s even worse!”
“It’s my heart!”
Rosé eagerly exhales smoke with a pipe in her mouth and runs through the front yard of Eugliaga, and Ella runs hard to catch such Rosé.
“… … Those two must be exhausted before they even go to the festival.”
“I think the same… … .”
Dalgrak! Dalgrak!
Well, everyone seemed to be thinking the same as me.
