Chapter 1306: Founding Festival ⑧

Amaterasu-san and Mana-san came to my stall, and Amaterasu-san, in her unique outfit, attracted a fair amount of attention, but due to the small number of people around this area, she didn’t cause a big commotion, and came to the front of our stall.[Hello, as we had told you before, we’re here to make a purchase.][Hello, Amaterasu-san, Mana-san. Do you want to have regular baby castellas or ones filled with chocolate?][Errr, let’s see. Well then, we’ll have 1…… no, 2 for each kind please.]I guess that means one for Eden-san and one for hers huh? Just as Amaterasu-san was speaking though, it looked like Mana-san glanced at Amaterasu-san for a moment, making her rephrase it though……As I had such thoughts in mind, I prepared the bags and filled them with baby castellas. This should make it so that the both of them wouldn’t be a problem now, but I suddenly felt some sort of viscous gaze, and turning my eyes towards that direction…… I saw Mana-san looking at me with some kind of scary smile.No, Mana-san herself is a lovely person, and her smile isn’t particularly strange in any way, but for some reason, turning my back towards her makes me feel like a frog being gazed at by a snake…… That was supposed to be a normal smile, but her gaze strangely felt like there was something muddy within it. Am I just overthinking it?[……Haahhh, my bel———– Igyiihh!?][Eh?]The moment Mana-san’s eyes narrowed and she was about to speak, something hit Mana-san’s head, making her bite her own tongue.[Oops, I’m sorry about that. My signpost accidentally slipped out of my hand. Well~~ I’m sorry, Customer-san.] Follow current on novelenglish.net

Saying this while apologizing to Mana-san is Alice but…… Arehh? Wasn’t our signpost just an ordinary wooden one just now? When did it change into a “giant hammer”-like shape?[M- Mana-san, are you alright!?][Y- Yes. I’m completely alright…… You don’t have to worry about me.]Lightly rubbing her head, Mana-san wryly smiled as she stood up. As one would expect from Amaterasu-san’s assistant, she must be a lot more powerful than her appearance would suggest, as even though a huge hammer hit her in the head, it didn’t look like she was hurt at all.[……Alice, what are you even……][No, the signpost really just slipped out of my hand. It was a complete accident.][Right, right, that was just an accident, so you really don’t have to mind it!]It looked as if Alice hitting her head was intentional, but putting aside if it was just Alice saying it, since Mana-san herself also said it was an accident, then I can’t say anything more.[……Is Alice and Mana-san acquainted with each other?][Hnn~~ Well, we’ve actually met each other through our connection with Eden-san. I haven’t met Amaterasu-san though.][That’s because we had different places in charge after all. Back when I…… Errr, Miyama Kaito-san went to the beach, the one who delivered the ingredients being sponsored by Eden-sama was me. We became close at that time.][Ahh~~ I see, come to think of it, that was indeed the case.] Follow current on novel-online.com

Alice mentioned that Eden-san prepared the ingredients we would be using for our meals at the beach, and Mana-san was the one who delivered them at that time huh…… I thought Eden-san would have just created them on the spot, but with her having various detailed agreements with Shiro-san, I suppose that is why she had someone deliver them instead.[W- Well, anyhow, I’m glad you aren’t injured.][You were worried about me!? Haahh, you really are my cu——–][Ahh, this thing really is slippery.][———–!?][M- Mana-saaaaaan!?]As Mana-san was about to say something, Alice swung that huge hammer she called a signpost, making a sound that clearly shouldn’t have been made by a person.That was a pretty strong blow!? Are they sure Alice isn’t seriously trying to break her neck!?[A- Alice, you!?][It can’t be helped, don’t blame me. My hand slipped.][No, you still claim your hand slipped? It’s quite obvious that……][Her hand slipped! The signpost slipped off her hand from my point of view, so there’s no problem at all!!!] Follow current on storynovel.net

[E- Eeehhhh……]No matter how you look at it, it looked like she intentionally hit Mana-san on the head with that hammer, but putting aside if it was just Alice playing dumb, if Mana-san is also doing her best to support Alice’s claim, it makes me confused and unable to say anything.W- What the heck is this strange scene…… I feel like I’m gonna go crazy. W- Well, if she says she’s alright, I guess I shouldn’t say anything about this anymore……[……Errr, well then, Amaterasu-san. Here are 2 bags of each kind.][Thank you very much. Errr, please pass them to Mana-san.][Yes. Mana-san, here you go.][Thank you very much! Do your best with your stall.][Y- Yes, thank you very much.]I’m not really sure what’s going on, but I feel that thinking about this any deeper will only tire me out, so I saw off the two of them off, with Mana-san waving her hand with a satisfied look on her face, and Amaterasu-san deeply bowing with an indescribable expression on her face.Serious-senpai : [I see, because she created that body weak, so she can be stopped by physical damage……]? ? ? : [And so, just like usual, Alice-chan holds the role of supporting others. Alice-chan really is excellent, and I think Kaito-san should reward Alice-chan.]Serious-senpai : [Stop with the one-man play.]
