Side Story – People’s Day #4

“Aaron. It’s been a while.”

“How are you, Brother Roland?”

People came from all over the kingdom to witness the kingdom’s largest birthday festival held in Sodomi.

When the Count of Orléans, who had ruled the Palcea region for a long time, arrived in Sodomi, there was a huge crowd of people welcoming him.

“Cathy! It’s cool!”

“Is it a symbol of fertility?”

“They gave birth to quintuplets at once!”

“Yinging yaing… !”

Cathy was a mother of quintuplets and was popular among women.

People who wanted to have children wanted to meet Cathy Orléans, and those who actually met Cathy and touched her collar or received well-wishes soon magically heard rumors that they were having children.

Cathy said, waving her hand to the cloud of people who flocked towards her again today.

“The important thing about having children is love. If you love your husband and take good care of him, you will have children quickly.”

Cathy, Evangelist of Love.

Someone raised a hand towards her.

“Ca… cash… ! It’s really Cathy… ! It’s me, your old lover Al Broitt… ! I don’t remember making passionate love in the stable all those years ago… !? Come with me! I love you!”

In an instant, people started to get upset.

There were a lot of people who were shocked and “I thought something interesting was going to happen. There were more people with their eyes shining with interest, saying, “This is how the festival should be.”

The person that people looked at most uneasily was Aaron, the Count of Orléans.

Aaron was very embarrassed, but Cathy spoke as if nothing had happened.

“Al Broit… . How many boyfriends have you had? Twelfth? No, I was twenty-two… .”

Cathy had forgotten most of the faces of the men she had met.

Not only has a long time passed and I have met many people, but memories of the past tend to become blurry.

“Al Broit. I am the most virtuous wife of all and the mistress of the family of the Count of Orléans. I can’t go with you. Bye then.”

“Big black-.”

Al Broitt kneels in frustration.

Seeing this, the men asked Count Aaron.

“Lord Aaron, how many times does this happen a year? Every year, men claiming to be my ex-lover approach me and try to steal my property or flirt with my wife. Is it okay?”

It was like that.

Count Aaron sat in the position of Minister of Finance to handle the post-war situation, which was a very important position and had high authority.

The problem is that men who find out that Aaron’s wife was the Voltaire family’s Cathy often come to Cathy and say, “Give me money before I reveal your past!” or “Let’s be lovers again! The point was that he was flirting with ”.

Aaron was already well-versed in this type of work.

“Men, listen carefully. Doesn’t the fact that your wife had an ex-boyfriend mean that she was that attractive? And since that process made my wife who she is today, I must also respect her ex-boyfriends.”

Passyuk-.

A few locks of Aaron’s hair fell out and fell to the floor.

The Orleans family has had a lot of hair for generations, but for some reason, Aaron was bald.

“I shouldn’t live like Aaron.”

“My wife wants me to be her first boyfriend.”

“Aaron, he’s amazing in many ways.”

But no matter what, Aaron and Cathy were a happy couple.

Cathy loved Aaron and the quintuplets dearly, and that love was real.

Toddler-.

As Cathy and Aaron each carried the quintuplets, who had begun to walk, in their arms, they entered the sodomy.

There was a man who was watching such a scene from afar.

He was a man called Agiles of Lightning, but now he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with a moderately bloated stomach and a moderately bald forehead.

“Aaron and Roland also came to this year’s festival. Roland: Since I came to live with that guy, Friede, I’ve been wandering around the world, so it’s been hard to see him.”

“So what is there to talk about? Just tell me what you want.”

Midnar, the former abbess of Grande, frowned. It was very annoying because Agiles always said useless things whenever she called him.

“Just, well, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so let’s talk about how we’ve been. Midnar, how are you getting younger and younger?”

“But you are becoming an older and more ordinary man. How many days has it been since you picked up the sword? No, how many months? How many years?”

The scabbard that always hung proudly on Agileth’s waist was no longer there. Instead of a sword, Agiles carried a staff with a jewel encrusted on the handle, which looked very comical.

“Looking at you now, who would think you were Agiles, the Platinum Knight? He’s fat and funny because he’s fat.”

“Midnar, you are saying that because you do not know. Wouldn’t a world where knights’ swords rust and human hunters gain weight be a good world?”

Midnar was slightly surprised by Agileth’s story.

And then he snorted.

“Speak well. It’s annoying to move, so I put down my sword and just gain weight. And, well, it’s not like I always get younger. A wrinkle has increased around my eye here.”

Sze-.

Agileth was busy flattering Midnar, who pointed to her eyes, saying, “You are beautiful too!”.

Midnar said, “The old man is being manipulative!”, but deep down, he didn’t hate it that much.

Receiving attention from men has long been a strange part of women’s minds and has left them in a dull mood.

Toddler-.

Midnar now looked out the window at the countless babies running around.

“Nowadays, babies can be seen anywhere in the kingdom, but there are unusually many children in this sodomy. Surely, I hope that when those kids grow up, all the knights’ swords will be rusty.”

When Midnar said that, he felt a little sad.

She had lived her life alone, relying on her faith since she was young. But when I look at my children like that, I wonder, ‘What was my child like? I also felt like ‘Does he look like me?’

Agileth spoke to Midnar.

“Midnar, they say there is a land outside the map where mysterious peaches grow. They say that if you eat it, you will become younger and enter your second prime. How about going together after this festival is over?”

Adventure outside the map.

Midnar frowned at that story.

“What do old people do by going on adventures?”

“Wouldn’t a world where old people go on adventures and dream be a wonderful land? When you think it’s over, it really is over. But if you think you’re young─.”

“Good.”

Midnar said.

Then Agiles was quite embarrassed.

This was because I did not know that Midnar, who always refused, would willingly accept.

“You look good, Rehoboam. Are you five years old?”

Atalanta, the Pope’s adopted daughter and former princess, stuck out her tongue at Rehoboam, who was also the Pope’s adopted daughter.

Rehoboam was holding Roland and Friede’s hands like a child, an attitude unbecoming of a man in his mid-twenties.

But Rehoboam was confident.

“What’s wrong with a child holding their parent’s hand?”

Rehoboam was the Pope’s adopted son, but was actually the son of Roland and Friede.

Roland, Friede, and Rehoboam enjoyed traveling and eating together as a family and had a great time.

Atalanta hurled a word at Rehoboam for no reason.

“He’s such a mama’s boy. When they see a man like you who is old enough to be caught up in his mother’s skirt, they call him a mama’s boy.”

Even as she said that, Atalanta felt quite envious of Rehoboam, who had a large family.

Atalanta’s hometown, the Domarian tribe, were all dead, and Atalanta had no one she could call family.

So, while my eyes were shining with a slightly envious feeling, Friede spoke.

“Atalanta. I recently went to the southern jungle. There were survivors there who looked like you, Atalanta. They were from the Domarian tribe.”

“What? Really?”

“It is said that they were people who hid in the jungle to avoid war when Gregory was conquering various places. Maybe your mother or father lives there.”

“Hmph, I don’t need a family. The world is about living alone.”

Atalanta said as if nothing had happened.

But my heart immediately wanted to head to the southern jungle.

Rehoboam, who saw this, stung like a bee’s sting.

“It would be nice to show a little more obedience. Atalanta, I want to say something because you seem like my younger sister, and in fact, you are like my younger sister, but-. Men don’t like women who are too strong.”

“What!”

“Since you have gone on a pilgrimage of repentance, I am curious who would take a woman like you. Atalanta, if you want to get married, be a little more discreet─.”

“Hey! Come here!”

Atalanta struck Rehoboam with her fists.

“Aaaah~.”

Although they were not related by blood, they were clearly like brother and sister with a strong blood connection. Rehoboam, who had been beaten for a long time, asked Atalanta.

“Have you heard anything about Kusan?”

“None. Well, you must be living well. There was a rumor that it was seen in the Onan region.”

Atalanta recalled the old days.

The three siblings were never close to each other, but when they were young, they would run around and play in the park together.

Can we go back to that time?

Somehow, I had a feeling that it might be possible.

Pang, papapapang!

At that moment, fireworks exploded in the Sodomy sky.

As the sunset began to set towards evening, flowers seemed to be in full bloom in the sky, and everyone stopped to look at this beautiful sight.

“Long live Rust!”

“Hail!”

A giant straw doll made in the shape of Rust was seen entering the castle gate, mounted on a large wheeled cart.

People began lighting the shape of the rust on fire, and the oil-soaked straw burned brightly as if it had been waiting, leaving a trail of soot toward the sky.

# # #

“Dihon, look at that flame… !”

“It is truly a beautiful firework… !”

Asmodi, the daughter of the Marquis, and Dihon, the Count’s prince, made a fuss as always.

Is there any other couple who gets along so well?

Although all kinds of media and novels portrayed arranged marriages negatively, I didn’t think arranged marriages were necessarily bad.

“Hyde, it’s your turn to speak.”

A festival that has been going on for a long time.

I was very surprised when I realized that it was my turn to hear Psyche’s words.

“Good.”

I headed to the square where people had gathered to give my speech.

There were so many people there, and in front of me, as always, Hans was lying down, pretending to be a footstool.

Sze-.

I stepped on Hans.

Then Hans said:

“Hiiii… ! What an incredible honor it is to be able to become Rust’s stepping stone… !”

This guy has not changed even though several years have passed.

Are you not tired?

I said simply.

“Love each other and have sex!”

The shorter the speech, the better.

That’s how much it gets stuck in people’s minds.

“And love the village of back alley nymphs!”

In fact, people were very impressed and impressed by my speech.

“Burn Hyde’s straw colossus!”

“Burn Hyde!”

Everyone loves me passionately like a flame.

Sze-.

As I came down from Hans’ podium, Hans stood up.

The guy’s face looked a little different now.

I could tell there was something ‘changing’.

“Rust. I want to go back to my hometown.”

“Go.”

I readily agreed.

Who has the right to stop people from coming and going?

Of course I had it.

But there was no need to stop it.

Sze-.

Hans just turned his back.

Are they planning to head straight to their hometown without seeing the festival end?

Now I see a woman crouching in the far corner.

She must be a country girl named Adella.

It was very nice to see a young man and woman get married and live happily.

They will have children, and children will be the hope for a better tomorrow.

“Hans, you have worked hard so far. And continue to work hard. If it weren’t for you, I might have had a much harder time getting to where I am now. The weight of a fork is -.”

“… … !”

Hans trembled as if he had been greatly surprised.

And then he bowed down to me again.

“Long live our master!”

“Then go now! To your world! Now is the beginning of your story!”

Hans didn’t look back anymore.

The sight of him walking powerfully looked as confident as a new groom on a wedding march.

As I looked at Hans’ back, someone tugged at my pants.

“Dad, Hedone is curious about where Uncle Hans is going… ! I wonder if we can meet again… !”

“I’m curious about this mini too… ! Uncle Hans is a man who is good at playing Nymphten game consoles along with this mini… !”

“ This Neo was also happy that Uncle Hans played hide and seek with him… !”

It seemed that the small children were unfamiliar with separation.

This will be a good opportunity to let people know that if there is a breakup, there is also a reunion and meeting.

Pang, papapang-.

The sky over Sodom became dark and firecrackers continued to explode.
