17-Rest 2: New Year's Greetings
"Hopefully your new year is fun…"
"Silvia…!"
"Hopefully your new year is fun…!"
Receiving the millionth happy birthday from me, Aze san welcomed her back like she was shocked…
Making use of the time difference between the royal capital and the Boruenan countryside, I came to Boruenan Forest to wish you a happy new year…
I had prepared the pretext of using the new Unique Skill of the Arrangement Unit, but everyone was sound asleep because they had been having fun until late at night during the evening party and the party after yesterday…
Today Aze san is even sweeter than usual…
No, I have to say that she's beautiful in her miko outfits, huh…
"I like your usual clothes, but miko's clothes are also beautiful, aren't they…"
"T-accept ka…"
He said the last part shamefully and bashfully, I could hear it, but since I could see Aze san blushing, I considered it good…
"Aren't you using the little girl's illusion today…?"
"That-that…!"
"N-not like that…!"
"That's…"
When I was playing around with Aze san, Lua san came wearing a miko outfit…
"Ara, Secilia…"
"Is it okay for you to be away from Shiga Kingdom…?"
"Yes, of course not…"
I had told them about the greater demon and summoned part of the Demon God first with the Telephone magic…
"It's time for the ceremony, let's go to the world tree…"
"Secilia will also come, right…?"
"Yes, of course, I'll observe…"
I came here because of that…
They told me that they would be offering dance at sunrise at the world tree observatory, so they needed to prepare things…
An altar like the one in the Shinto shrine has been prepared in the observatory, and including the Aze san, there are over 100 miko and diviners preparing things…
The light closed when everyone had taken their positions, the room wrapped in silence…
When the first rays of sunlight began to be seen on the distant horizon, the sounds of transverse flutes and organs began to spread…
The sun's light is moving like freezing and in fact the speed of light is the normal speed of light which is 300 million km/h…
But I enjoy the speed of light as it freezes from my pandagan…
The “shan-shan” sound I hear sometimes may come from the kagura bell that miko and the Diviners have…
And then when the sunlight shone on the observatory, the standing Aze san began to dance the Kagura Dance with a dignified expression…
The other Miko began to dance one after another, while the comforting sounds of the paradiviner filled the altar with a solemn atmosphere…
Their movements were accurate as if they were already programmed for it…
They do not look mechanical…
Looking at it from the perspective of the elves, perhaps this was a dance they had been doing for hundreds, thousands of years, so it might have become as ordinary as breathing for them…
This dance continued for about 30 minutes, and I had recorded it perfectly from start to finish…
I'll show it to Mia and the others later…
As I stared at the prime and the exact fashion of Aze san, she seemed to notice me and came while carrying Lua san along…
"Silk…"
"Good work Aze-san…"
"That's a very wonderful dance…"
I handed the fluffy towel to Aze san…
While looking at him wiping his sweat from the side, I asked him the question that was on my mind…
"Aze san, which dance for the Gods is dedicated…?"
I asked when I knew the answer…
"It's for Dragon God the same…"
Dragon God Akon Kagura…?
There was no way he would accept this kind of thing, he was a shitty person who only enjoyed wandering the Unknown Domain and playing around with the other Voyagers…
"A-do the elves worship Dragon God…?"
If that's the case, then I have to admit that I killed her avatar...
"No, it's not like that…"
"Instead, we elves only worship the Creator God who created the seven pillar God…"
He again yes, he is also one of the Voyagers with Kagura and he has reached the highest realm of places called Sea Of Zero or The Creator Domain, but Creator God and The Creator are very different…
I was kind of sorry for him who was willing to throw everything away in order to reach the highest realm and merge with The Creator…
"This is the first time I've heard of Creator God…"
I had a chance to meet him, but he had fused with The Creator and only left the Avatar alone…
"That's natural…"
"He is a God who came from a faraway world along with the seven pillar God…"
Lua san answered my doubts…
Come to think of it, the same thing was written in picture books about myths from before…
"Is it independent…?"
"Yes, about 100 million years have passed since they came to this world, but never an oracle came from Creator God…"
"There are many Gods who left their world and that particular God has a non-interference policy…"
That time frame is strange…
Instead, so there are many Gods in the other world, huh…
Oops, the story has been rerouted…
"But, why is the dance dedicated to Dragon God…?"
"That's because…"
The thing Aze san told me was the same as the contents of the mythical picture book I read earlier…
As a thank you to the Dragon God who welcomed the Gods who came to this world, they had been offering dance for generations in the span of 100 million years…
100 Million years, yes...
Staying silent would be too dishonest for me…
I steeled myself, asked to meet the Demi God Aze san mode that was connected to the world tree archive, and confessed that I had killed the Dragon God avatar…
"On Dragon God…?"
Demi God Aze san's mode looked puzzled for the first time…
"You don't seem to be lying…"
After a while, he deeply took a breath and turned his calm eyes at me…
"Secilia, I've been shocked by you so many times, but this is the first time I've been in shock in 100 million years after I came to this land…"
"However, there's no problem if you just kill the Dragon God…"
Waw?
Here what I killed was not him, you were just his avatar…
"When the gods had just come to this world, Lord Zaikuon and God Garleon challenged the Dragon God and got themselves killed, but they were revived within 1000 years…"
"If it was the Dragon God then he would probably be revived in 100 years…"
As expected of the God avatar…
Or rather, does that mean he will take revenge in 100 years…?
Well, I guess that's fine…
"Fufufu, Secilia really thought of some interesting things…"
Oops, the Demi God Aze mode san can read your mind in this room is just that…
Wow, she's amazing at being able to read a part of my mind, and she won't be able to read my real thoughts
"Dragon God hates defeat, but he doesn't mind the method of fighting…"
"If you don't want to fight with strength, then you can fight with intelligence or games…"
"I understand…"
"Please let me participate when that happens…"
"Yes, of course…"
I thanked Demi God Aze san mode, and then I returned to the usual tree house along with the usual Aze san…
"Oh right, I brought a new year dish because I was thinking of eating it with everyone…"
"Ara, we should call Nea…"
Lua san who followed us asked the pixie who flew nearby to become the messenger…
Nea San is a researcher of elf cuisine who risks her life to make the Japanese cuisine told by the hero before…
"Hey, Daisaku said that you ate a new year's meal with your family, is that true…?"
"Yes, that's right…"
Of course, you also treat your friends who visit you with dishes, but most are eaten together with your family, right…?
"Is that so…"
It seems like Aze san was happy with my answer, she sat happily beside me…
There was only enough room for Mia to sit between us…
"Well! Is this a new year dish…?"
When I spread out the six food boxes, Nea san who came from the window with wind magic asked with a strange pronunciation…
"Good new year, Nea san…"
"Ara, I'm of everyone…"
Nea San apologized for her bad attitude…
No no, the tension of Nea san is always like this when it comes to food…
"Secilia san, happy new year…"
"Please take care of me this year as well…"
It won't…
Nea-san keeps her appearance like a graceful woman, but her eyes shine like she found prey, researching new year dishes…
I secretly handed over his recipe collection without a bribe…
He can definitely perfect the “faux” new year dish that Totona and I made…
"Then let's eat…"
"God…"
With Lua san's signal, Aze san agreed it was like a child…
It seemed like he was weak at such a delicious meal as usual…
"This omelet is delicious…!"
"That's called datemaki…"
I explained the dish only to Aze san who stuffed her mouth with datemaki…
Aze san listened happily, “uh-huh”, but since he was engrossed in tasting food, he might forget about it tomorrow…
"My sister said…"
"If you yell at your lover while you eat datemaki, you will learn “six sword style”, is that true…?"
Hero Daisaku…!
Please be more moderate as you play around with Aze san…!
I complained to the previous hero in my mind…
Maybe I'll see him later…
"Is this soup a clear soup…?"
"This is Ozouni…"
"Ehh…"
"This mochi…!"
"There's red bean paste inside…!"
"Cute Ozouni, I love it…"
"Aze san, does Ozouni suit your taste…?"
"Yes, it's so sweet that I like it so much…"
I wanted to praise my former self who decided not to make the light brown miso ozouni that Lina asked for, but the ozouni that Aze san liked…
I went back in time to praise myself for making ozouni and then back again…
The process took no time at all and I used only my speed to get to the past in less than 0 seconds…
Normally Lua san would look like she was about to spit out sugar, but today it seemed like she was busy with the dishes she had seen for the first time, it seemed like she was not paying attention to me with the seductive Aze san…
Rather than calling it seductive, this feels more like a relationship between a guest and a waiter, but that's not true…
Subjectivity is important at times like these…
"This boiler..."
"If you hold it like this and do this, you can take it off easily, you know…"
"That's right…!"
"As expected of Secilia…"
While teaching how to break sea bream into small pieces, I taught Aze san who had difficulty with shrimp to skin it, we spent time talking about various stories…
As I thought, visiting the Boruenan countryside really healed me…
As the multi-tiered food box emptied, Aze-san muttered “I can't eat anymore” happily while curled up in my lap looking satisfied…
I want to enjoy this happiness for a little while, but since Tiane contacted me “It's time to leave for the Kingdom” Conference via World Phone, I bid farewell to Aze san and the others.
I will buy fresh shrimp in the royal capital, and make kare shrimp…
New Year's dishes are delicious, but kare is also delicious…
