“The atmosphere is very lively and fun.”
“We also caught a glimpse of the cherry blossom viewing festival, and it was very exciting.”
As everyone was having fun, the Margrave and the group of Holy Knights arrived. A group of about thirty Holy Knights had also taken off their armor and were dressed in knightly uniforms.
The Holy Knights couldn’t help but smile when they saw the children having fun.
“Speaking of which, do some of you know the Holy Knights? The last time they patrolled was before the current priest was assigned, right?”
“That’s right. It’s true that there haven’t been any Holy Knight patrols since the current priest took over.”
The chairman of the executive committee is talking to the former Margrave.
Apparently, the Holy Knight regularly patrols each territory.
Hmm…. in that case, the Holy Knights may not have been aware of the current situation of the church.
Then, another person appeared in the party room.
“Oh, everyone’s here. Things are starting to move over here too huh.”
“I see. You started working on that too I guess.”
Appearing in the party room were the Guild Master and the Deputy Guild Master. They are talking to the Margrave about something.
But what it is though?
“Shun, you guessed that maybe there is someone in the guild who is connected to the church, right?”
“Yes. Ah! Did that person start making his move?”
“That’s right. The cherry blossom festival just ended today, and I told the guild staff members that we were going to the Lord’s mansion. To my headache, several people started to move.”
The guild master said so with a wry smile.
But now he was able to identify the suspicious person in the adventurer’s guild.
Then the Margrave began to speak to us.
“At present, the knights of our territory are guarding the church, and we have also closed the gates leading from this town to other places.”
“Are we going to do it tonight?”
“That’s right. So, I’m sorry, I can’t serve alcohol this time.”
“What are you saying? Don’t worry, we can celebrate again after we’ve cleaned them up.”
““““That’s right!””””
It seems that they are planning to raid the church all at once when the time comes.
The executive committee chairman and the others also had their weapons from their bags drawn and answered with enthusiasm.
Ahem, and even the wife and the daughter of the executive committee chairman have a mace.
Anyway, enough of that topic and let’s get to the meal.
“At one point, the cherry blossom viewing festival was in danger of being cancelled, but thanks to everyone, we were able to finish it off with a bang. We still can’t let our guard down, but for now, please enjoy your meal to the fullest.”
““Ou!””
“Now let’s have a toast.”
“““Cheers!”””
With the Margrave’s toast, the meal officially began.
Everyone toasted with juice and started eating.
“Shun-oniichan, this meat is delicious.”
“Mmmm. It’s curry-flavored meat.”
“I can eat a lot of this.”
“Well, that’s good. But let’s eat slowly without rushing, okay?”
The chef at the mansion have devised a dish in which curry was rubbed into the meat and grilled afterwards. Not only Shiro, Fran and Horn, but also the other children were eating curry-flavored meat deliciously.
“Oneechan, can we eat with you?”
“Sure. Come over.”
At the table of the female adventurers and the daughter of the executive committee chairman, children came to the table while bringing food.
Looking more closely, I saw that in addition to the shopping district committee members and the Margrave’s family, the other children were also heading to the Holy Knight’s table.
Naturally, everyone was smiling as they dine with the children.
It seems that the children did their best to serve customers during the cherry blossom viewing festival, so they lost a little shyness.
“Everyone has such a good smile on their faces. I hope they continue to grow up steadily.”
“Yes.”
Hearing the words of his wife, who looked at the children with a smile, the former Margrave nodded deeply.
Thus, the meal ended amicably.
