Infinite Gacha - Chapter 417

The next day, the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom" is finally held.

Lilith will once again take the throne in front of the representatives of each country at the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Races (actually, it is only a little bigger than a mansion).

Afterwards, she will leave the castle and go in a big parade around the capital, proclaiming that she is the current Queen of the Kingdom of Races.

Naturally, the parade route is heavily guarded, and among the spectators there are several cherry blossoms shouting "Long live Queen Lilith.

If the parade ends without incident, it is safe to say that it will be a success.

undefinedTherefore, naturally, the anti-Lilith faction will move to stop the parade.

As a way to obstruct the parade, magic tools that have been scattered throughout the city will be detonated as bombs.

While the city is in turmoil, soldiers will be sent out from the royal castle to get manpower to calm the people down, and they will be stretched thin.

Aiming to take advantage of the situation, Godot, the heir apparent of the first prince Claud's faction, who is already waiting on the outskirts of the capital, takes his private army and runs backwards through the castle's underground corridors.

They aim to assassinate Queen Lilith.

Of course, in order to rescue the first prince, Claw, from the "quarantine tower," Claw's faction's Viscount Fite is also standing by with a force.

While the bomb explodes and chaos ensues, they attack the "Segregation Tower.

The objective was to attack the "Isolation Tower" in one fell swoop, rescue Claw, and escape to their own territory without any reinforcements from Lilith's side due to the chaos in the capital.

However, the magic tool bomb had already been detected and recovered by the lights.

They are going to be used in the opposite way. ......

Nazna!　Look, Lilith-sama is coming through here to show herself to us!"

'Hmmm, but Lilith-sama?　What fun is it to watch?"

Yume and Nazuna are holding hands while talking about the route Lilith will take in the parade.

The parade is scheduled to start in the afternoon, but the security soldiers are already lined up at equal intervals, and the people who want to see Queen Lilith pass by from a good position are already in the front rows, so a crowd has already formed.

Yume pointed through the crowd and explained the situation to Nazuna, but she couldn't understand what was so interesting and tilted her head.

Yume was not offended by Nazuna's reaction and explained.

Lilith wore a beautiful dress and rode in a carriage in the parade before. That dress was really beautiful, reflecting the sparkling sunlight on a sunny day like today. It was also a lot of fun to watch the soldiers of the castle riding around on their horses and playing their musical instruments as they went along."

Wow, it's that much fun?　I'm kind of looking forward to it, if my sister says so much!"

Nazuna listens to Yume's explanation, and honestly begins to look forward to watching the parade.

Seeing Nazuna, Yume seemed to recall a parade she had seen in the past.

Yume also has never seen a parade like this," she said. I've only seen it leave from the castle, so I'm looking forward to it. The preparation before that is really hard. ...... Yume, you are only an apprentice maid, but don't try to make me manage Master Lilith's expensive ornaments Nono, head maid!　Not enough manpower?　But that doesn't mean I'm not still an apprentice maid!

Sister?

Yume removes her hand from Nazuna's and starts to hold her head.

She seems to have remembered a trauma from the past.

Nazuna looks flustered and flustered at Yume's side, and the people around her look back at her and say, 'What's going on?

After calming down, Yume and Nazuna once again hold hands.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout so loud. I just remembered the old days. ......

Are you all right, little sister?"

Yes, I'm fine. I've calmed down now. Thanks for worrying about me."

Yume thanked Nazuna with a smile, but her face immediately clouded.

But with all these people, I don't think I'll be able to see the parade. ......

You don't have to worry. I've already prepared seats for you in anticipation of this happening.

I kept my mouth shut so as not to interrupt their interaction, and then I opened my mouth.

We've secured a building with a good view of the parade. When the time comes, you can watch the parade without being disturbed by the crowds.

That's my master--Master Dirk!

Nazna is almost in a state of saying 'master' already, but she is innocently pleased.

Of course, I want them to enjoy the parade, but it is easier to escort them from the top of an isolated building than in a crowd of unspecified people.

That is why they prepared seats for spectators.

Yume, unaware of the preparations that had been made, was delighted with a big smile on her face.

Thank you!　I didn't know you had it so well secured."

You're welcome. So you two can enjoy the festival in peace until it's time to go."

Then I'm hungry and I want some meat!

Nazna, you ate so much breakfast?"

Yume makes a surprised expression at Nazuna's appetite.

This morning, he took advantage of the dining room at the luxury inn and had a mouthful of breakfast.

Even though Nazna ate more than twice as much as Yume, she was already hungry, although there was still a lot of time before lunch.

Yume is surprised at Nazuna's appetite, but they hold hands and move to the food stall she points to.

Naturally, we were with them.

Meat was being grilled at the stall that Nazna pointed to, and the good smell wafted surprisingly far into the distance, perhaps because it was carried by the wind.

Perhaps attracted by the smell, orphans who were sleeping on the street peeked out from the alleyway near the back of the stall and looked enviously at us.

(Flowers in one's hands?　(...... so they're trying to sell flowers because the festival loosens the purse strings)

I look at them and immediately guess.

When I was an adventurer, I remember seeing children like them selling picked flowers during the daytime, although not at festivals.

It was a standard job for those too small and dangerous to go outside as adventurers to pick medicinal herbs or firewood to earn money.

The buyers, too, would pay money out of the goodness of their hearts and out of pity for the orphans. However, such people are hard to come by, so naturally there is no profit to be made.

However, thanks to the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Racial Kingdom" - a festival - people are buoyed up and their purse strings are loosened.

It's quite an astute group of kids to not miss out on a business opportunity, spot it, and try to sell flowers.

............

Nazna-chan?"

Nazna stops and fixes her gaze on the orphans peering from the alleyway to the front street.

Yume calls out to them curiously, but they do not respond.

Instead, she takes her hand away from Yume's and walks toward the orphans, taking out a card from the item box without being noticed.

The card was glimpsed, and it appeared to be "SSSR Breath of Prayer (Overheal).

Nazna, not caring about the gazes of the people around her, marches up to the orphans.

Nazna-chan!

Surprised at what she is about to do, Yume calls her name, but she doesn't get there in time.

Nazuna had hit the orphan child in the stomach with her bare hand.
