Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

In the Capital City: Victorias, the festival celebrating the birth of King Rudolf van Strauss Arclaim and his daughter, Lilith, had begun. Coincidentally, the two had been born on the same day of the same month.

Although it was festival, it wasn't a large event that took place across the entire nation. Even though it was referred to as the festival of birth, the reality was akin to a birthday party that took place within the confines of the castle. However, for those taking part in the celebrations were very important people.

Of course, the royalty was a given. The guest list extended to famous writers and musicians, painters and chefs, and even famous adventurers. The line-up was so overwhelming, one could only describe it as amazing. Everyone in attendance was someone whose name was well known throughout the country.

Taishi: Congrats, Lilith!

The one who had called out to Lilith who was visibly exhausted from greeting celebrities was one of the heroes summoned from another world. One of the ones that held the fate of the world on their shoulders, Taishi Aoyama.

Lilith: Ah, Taishi-sama(1)!

Lilith joyfully rushed over towards Taishi while making a blossoming smile, as if her fatigue had been blown away. Although she normally didn't wear makeup, as this was a fairly important occasion, not to mention that she was the subject of the celebration, she had firmly applied it.

Liliths makeup was very natural and looked very good on her. Taishi thought she was always cute but she was even more so today, and he had his breath taken away.

Taishi: (Uu(2) Cute!)

Seeing Liliths beaming smile as she ran towards him like a puppy, Taishi had a strong desire to embrace her. However, he couldn't do that. He could tell that if he did, the girl next to him would hound him.

*dosu*(3)

Taishi: Gufu!(4)

He suddenly feels an impact in his side. When he looks, he can see the girls elbow buried in his side.

Taishi: W-What was that for, Chika...

Thats right. That girl, like him, was also a hero that was summoned, Chika Suzumiya. She had brown, healthy-looking skin and a nice, slender body. Also, the dress that she was currently wearing had a slit in it that resembled a China dress. It suited her very well.

However, that girl was currently wearing a sour look while wedging her elbow into Taishi.

Chika: No reason~. Its just that you were looking at Lilith with a perverted look on your face so I thought Id just caution you.

Taishi: What do you mean caution? This is just violence. In the first place, I wasn't looking at her with perverted...

Chika: You weren't looking at her? Nnnn?(5)

Taishi: T-Thats...

Looking at Liliths pink dress, which slightly exposed her breasts, Taishis face turned red, answering while averting his gaze. Noticing where he was looking, Chika stabbed his eyes with her fingers.

Taishi: Gyaa!?(6)

Lilith: T-Taishi-sama!?

Chika: F-Fun!(7)He got what he deserves!

Lilith nervously tried to support Taishi who was causing a commotion while holding his eyes.

There were two people who were looking at those three from a different place. Those two girls were also heroes that were summoned. The one wearing a yellow dress, which did nothing to hide her voluptuous breasts, was Shuri Minamoto. The other, wearing a deep blue dress while holding a plate full of food, was Shinobu Akamori

Shinobu: Nyahaha(8), Taishi-chi(9)has it rough~

She speaks while bringing food to her mouth as if she were a completely unrelated third party.
