Thanks to Gluttony-san’s Teleportation Magic, we arrived at the area where Jutia-san is in charge of in an instant, and it was, how should I say this…… An overwhelming sight.

  The area was lined with trees and looked somewhat like a plaza in a forest, but what was most impressive was the overwhelming number of Spirits around.

  The numbers of the Spirits flying around here and there was even greater than what I saw back at the Sacred Tree Festival, and this was likely a large gathering of Spirits from the Spirit Trees, not only from Rigforeshia, but also from those in the Demon Realm and other places.

  [This is quite an amazing sight.]

  [So many Fairies…… It’s so sparkly and beautiful.]

  As I was overwhelmed by the sight of the vast number of Spirits flying around, Hina-chan’s eyes lit up as well, seemingly moved.

  [I wonder what they’re presenting here? From what I see, it feels like the stage is more of an open space……]

  [About that, about that, you see, we’re all going to sing!]

  [ [ [ [ [ [!? ] ] ] ] ] ]

  Immediately after Sieg-san’s muttering, a familiar voice came from behind us. It was so unexpected that everyone was surprised and turned around to see Jutia-san with a bright smile on her face.

  [Sorry, sorry, did I startle you? I knew someone was coming through Teleportation Magic, and I got curious and came to check it out. And then, and then, I saw that it’s people I’m familiar with, so I called out to you. Welcome, welcome, I’m happy to meet you again.]

  [So that’s how it is. Once again, hello, Jutia-san. I had been in your care back at the White God Festival.]

  It seems that Jutia-san sensed our teleportation and came to talk to us. As usual, she was cheerful, kind and easy to talk to.

  [J- Jutia-sama! T- Thank you very much for that time.]

  [If I remember correctly, you’re the High Elf Sieglinde, right? I’m glad to see you’re doing well.]

  Responding to the nervous Sieg-san with a bright smile, Jutia-san turned to me and spoke.

  [We’re almost ready to start, so have fun if you’d like. Speaking of which, speaking of which, I’m going a bit off-topic, but are you attending the tea party as well, Kaito?]

  [Ah, yes. I intend to.]

  [I see, I see, I’m looking forward to it then. I always look forward to the tea party every time the Harmonic Symphony is held, and I’ve prepared some of my favorite teas for this year too.]

  [I’ve also prepared a very special tea.It’s a really amazing item. I don’t know if you already know about it, but it was a tea praised by Kuro’s…… the Underworld King’s camp’s Ein-san as one that revolutionizes tea.]

  [……………………Eh? Really? That Ein-sama said that?]

  Those were just casual remarks. To be honest, I can’t really say I’m not bragging about Nebula……


  However, upon hearing my words, the smile Jutia-san had on her face a moment ago disappeared, and she looked truly astonished, which I can say was the first time I had ever seen such an expression on her face.

  [You’re talking about that Ein-sama, right? I’ve met her a few times, and I can say that she has mastered all kinds of tea…… and that Ein-sama praised that tea as one that revolutionizes tea? I- Is there really such an amazing tea? K- Kaito, what in the world is that……]

  [H- Hmmm, I could certainly tell you that here…… but since there’s an opportunity for that anyway, why don’t we save it for the tea party later?]

  [Uuuuu, indeed, I guess we really should save the fun for later. H- Hmmm, I’m curious, I’m curious, but I’m going to hold back.]

  [I will immediately show it to Jutia-san when the tea party starts, so please look forward to it.]

  [Alright. I’m extremely, extremely looking forward to it!]

  I actually brought some cans as a souvenir for people asking about it like Jutia-san, and I could explain and give it to her here……but I think it would be better to have her actually drink it before giving it to her.

  [Oops, well then, well then, it’s about time I get ready, so everyone, enjoy yourselves!]

  [Ahh, Jutia-san, I’m sorry for bothering you when you’re busy, but would you mind giving Sieg-san your autograph?]

  [Oyo? My autograph? It’s alright, it’s alright, that’s not that big of a deal.]

  It looked like Jutia-san was going to go back already, soI decided to ask for her autograph in Sieg-san’s stead.

  Hearing my words, Sieg-san happily took out a piece of colored paper and handed it to Jutia-san, who signed it without hesitation.

  [Well then, well then, see you later~~]

  [Yes. Thank you very much.]

  After thanking Jutia-san, who left with a bright smile and a wave of her hand, we followed the Spirits’ lead and moved to the center of the plaza to wait for the performance to begin.
