I Was Reincarnated Chapter 48
Guld Festival < birthday="">The knight came again
Seriously, this guy is annoying
Even though I keep telling him not to come
It seems that this time he came to tell me to attend something like a harvest celebration called the Guld festival
"Ha? Why should I go to a human festival?"
I was invited to Gudoudotelia's castle but those guys from other countries will come too it seems
A parade of annoying guys
Moreover other races have nothing to do with the human festival
I tried calling Dea to ask, but it seems other races don't get to take advantage of the human festival
In other words, Rau and Rune, as well as Rona and Dea have nothing to do there
It's not like I must go to such a festival
However, there was one miscalculation
According to what the knight said, that festival day, is the birthday that Rau turns five
For the sake of my self-satisfaction I intended to do Shichigosan [celebration/dress up at ages 7 for girls, 5 for boys, and 3 for both], so in order to show off Rau, it's perfect to go to where the guys from other countries are
The five year old is supposed to be the one for boys, but it's because she'll be going to school when she's seven
As it's a different world, it's fine not to stick to the formalities that much
I am interested in dressing her up in a kimono, though
although it'll be difficult to make the tail hole, since I will make it with my power I should be able to manage
Demon G.o.d power, banzai
"The Guld festival is whatever, but let's go to show off Rau"
"Ha? What do you mean by that?"
The knight seems to not get it
This world doesn't seem to have the custom of shichigosan even for the humans, it's natural he wouldn't know
"Return"
I teleported the knight to the royal castle
There's already nothing more to talk about
On the day, I dressed Rau in a kimono
Rau was instantly dressed in a kimono according to the image I have of it in my head
I can't do something like a fitting
"Waaaa~ these clothes, cute!"
Rau seems to be pleased so it's fine
It was a pink colored kimono with a white and red flower pattern on it
The obi was was covered generously with light pink colored lace
I also put up her hair with my power
The collar and sleeves boht have white frills attached
Since Rau seems to like frills
"Are these formal clothes from master's world?"
Dea asks
I did tell him that kimonos were the formal dress of j.a.pan
"It's a slightly altered version though"
The formal dress doesn't have things like frills and lace
Shall I try having the three wear kimonos as well next time?
—No, would a yukata be better?
As for male kimonos, they give off a chivalrous sort of image
"Rau, come"
"This, walking's difficult"
If you're unfamiliar with geta, walking would be difficult
"Today it's fine not to walk"
I held Rau
I don't intend to have her walk
Since I intend to show her off
The other three have on their normal style
Dea was wearing the servant clothing, but I had him change to different clothes
Since it's not like this is work
"Well then, shall we go"
Like that everyone was teleported
Even if they don't hold onto me I can teleport them together
If I desire for the person to come with when teleporting, I learned that they would
Up to now I had to hold them or such, so it's quite convenient
"Demon G.o.d! So you came"
"I didn't come for your sake"
The knight approached
Disgusting
I take out a sofa and sit
I'm in the way you say?
Such a thing, as if I care
"Everyone else too, sit"
I call out to the three
Since I took out a sufficiently large sofa, it's fine even if everyone's sitting
The three are also dressed nicely
Me?
I'm still in sleepwear, but so what?
Though I do have on the veil
Black dress like clothes are my sleepwear
"…..she's wearing some different clothes, huh"
The knight says when he sees Rau
"Isn't it cute? ……don't do anything though"
If she were taken from me I would have to give a fitting retribution
Well, their life would probably be forfeit
Compared to before, I feel like my morals have fallen since coming to this world
Is it because the surroundings would die too quickly
It would be too easy, there would be no feeling of killing
Before, giving one kick wouldn't have done something like killing a person
"There's no guy who would take something from the demon G.o.d, right? Since nothing but death would await them"
The knight said so, but the other guys don't know, right?
Their faces clearly become pale
Now they should know
(That's right! Speaking of birthdays, there should be cake)
I completely forgot
Even if I bring one out through magic, it's not easy to bring out things not from this world
It would be faster to just make it
"Hey, lend me your kitchen"
"Kitchen? What would you use such a place for?"
"For cooking, obviously"
There's no need to go into a kitchen to do anything else
What's he saying, this guy
"……..demon G.o.d can cook!?"
Is it that surprising?
…..speaking of, in this world, people with power don't do that sort of thing
Particularly the men
However, this world's common sense has nothing to do with me
(If it's this outfit then it'll get dirty)
Black clothes and white flour…….
It'll be quite conspicuous
Shall I change clothes
"Hair, shorten. Tie up. Veil, disappear. Change to cook clothes"
My hair became short and tied up at the back, the veil disappeared and I'm now currently wearing cook clothes
"Alright, this should be good. Lead the way"
"……A, aah [yea]"
The knight was in a daze
…….What?
Was there anything that surprising?
"Shin-sama, where are you going?"
Rau had an anxious expression
"Wait, I'm going to make you a dessert"
"Day-zert?"
Speaking of dessert in this world, it's mainly fruit
For things like baked sweets there's only stuff like cookies, it seems there aren't too many luxury food items
It seems that it's the same for humans, even in the stores things that fall under the dessert category are only fruits
Besides fruit would be something like fresh-squeezed juice
However, speaking of birthdays, for me there's an image of a cake, and at a child's birthday like Rau's it's just not the same without a cake
If there isn't one then it's fine to make it
Since there are similar ingredients [in this world], it's possible for me to make
"You four wait here together. It's fine to ignore the surrounding humans. Because the moment those guys touch you, their arms will be blown off"
I said it so that the surroundings could hear it, and the knight ahead sped up
So he could walk faster, this guy
(Should I make a three tiered cake)
Right before I cut the sponge [cake], I marked three sections
Since there was a machine that resembled an oven range stove, I just had to insert a bit of magic power to adjust [the temperature]
As for something like baking failures…….that's impossible, right?
Although it would be good to use even bigger tiers, since I'm worried about four left among the human guys, I could only bake one sponge [cake]
I put fruit and cream between the layers and pile it up
Since there was nothing like a cream piping bag, I brought it out with my power
Although it's troublesome it can't be helped
It's for Rau
Since I had the sponge cool down with my power, I was able to make it faster than usual
But I still used magic to teleport and return to where the four were
The knight?
I left him behind
He can walk over on his own, you know?
"Shin-sama, that is?"
"It's a cake"
"Kei-ke?"
As expected, it seems it's their first time seeing it
The four's pure eyes gathered on the cake
"Shin-sama! Please teach me the recipe for this kei-ke"
Rona looks up at me with sparkling eyes
He's the same as ever
"Another time"
I pat his head
I mean this guy is 125 years old
When cooking's involved, Rona either becomes pa.s.sionate or like a kid
Today it's like a kid
(Of course, there needs to be candles)
I put in five candles and light them up
"Rau, blow them out"
"Ok~ay, fuuh~"
"…………….."
She couldn't blow them out
It's because she just said "fuuh~" with her mouth
I raised a breeze and extinguished them
Since I don't want wax to drop onto the cake
I divide it into eight more or less equal parts and put them on plates
Since I made one that was quite gigantic, if I divided it into four parts it would probably be too much
As for the remaining half, if they want to eat it it's fine to eat it later, if they don't want it it's fine to throw it away
Since it's something I made using this castle's ingredients
I take out a table in front of the sofa and put it there
"Yummy! Swe~et!!"
On top of my lap, Rau put her hand to her cheek as she ate it looking happy
There was cream on the side of her mouth
Although I went to wipe it, that reminds me, I, am wearing gloves
"Rau"
"Ye~s?"
Rau turned towards me, and I licked the cream near her mouth
As expected there was no taste
Even though it should be sweet since I used quite a bit of the sugar-like flavoring
"Next time I'll make a different cake"
"Really!!"
"Since it'll soon be Rune's birthday"
"…….Eh?"
Rune looked on blankly
Since there's no custom of celebrating birthdays, it probably seems strange
Dea and Rona's birthdays?
Don't know
Should I ask them next time
It's already been more than half a year since those two came, their birthdays might have already pa.s.sed though
(However, for shichigosan……I don't really know what to do)
I only know about going to the shrine and getting chitose candy
What else do you do?
In this world there is no shinto priest
There's no shrine maiden either
It seems a shinto priest like guy does exist, but this world's humans are annoying
As expected, making candy is troublesome
Also, I don't know how to make it, would it be alright
The four are single-mindedly eating the cake
Even Rona who doesn't really eat sweet things, doesn't stop moving his fork
(……Aren't they eating too much?)
Won't they have a stomach ache later?
However, the cake was gigantic and as expected it seems I made too much, and half remained
"……..demon G.o.d, that, if you don't want it, won't you give it to me?"
The knight spoke to me
"Since it's something I made from this place's ingredients, if you want it take it"
It completely feels like I'm throwing it away
"Really! Then, I'll take it"
He took each plate
Can he really eat that much cake?
Is what I thought, but it seems he divided it to eat
The royalty, knights, and magicians, everyone gathered
However, doesn't that mean there would only be one bite per person?
Although it's gigantic, that's when it's for just four, there's too many people
I can hear them make a commotion time after time, but I can only think of them as annoying
I ignore them and pat Rau's head
Incidentally, I already returned to my previous outfit a while ago
I also re-equipped the veil
Rune sighs in relief, but since everyone's already seen my face I think it's already too late
"Today's Rau's birthday. Today I'll grant any wish"
For today only, I'll listen to and indulge any of Rau's willfulness
Well, by which I mean anything that I am capable of doing, it's probably implied
"Really!? Then, then……I want to be together with Shin-sama"
"And then?"
"Take this off"
Rau pointed at the veil
"Rau, that's no good!"
Rune panicked
However, today Rau takes precedence in pampering
"Veil, disappear…….and then?"
"Shin-sama also dresses up!"
It's not my preference, but I change to some gorgeous clothes
"Hair, tie up"
My hair does itself up and is tied off with a hair clasp
"Shin-sama, pretty!"
"Is that so. Isn't Rau cuter?"
Saying I'm pretty, for me it isn't a compliment, but since Rau's the one saying it, I'll endure
When I pat her head with a smiling face, Rau smiles looking happy
"Rau, congratulations on turning five"
Since I haven't said it yet
"Congratulations?"
"Aah, since it's been five years since Rau was born"
As there's no custom of congratulations on birthdays, even if I tell her congratulations she probably can't understand the meaning
Rau honestly probably still doesn't get the meaning I think
Well, that's fine
I just wanted to congratulate her
Unexpectedly, even though the surroundings were quiet I noticed when I looked up, those guys were frozen while looking this way
Moreover, their faces were red
(Have they been drinking?)
No, I would have seen them drinking
However, why is every one of them looking this way?
It feels disgusting
From next to me Rune tugs my clothes and glances towards me with his eyebrows scrunched up
"What's wrong?"
"Won't you wear the veil?"
As I thought, it seems he doesn't want me to show my face
"Since Rau asked"
Today's the day I will listen to Rau's willfulness
I pat his head, but he made an dissatisfied looking expression
"But, you know, Shin-sama is this pretty, right? If everyone knows, they won't attack even if he's called the demon G.o.d, right?"
Whether he came to an understanding from something Rau said or not, Rune said nothing more
However it's useless
Being a demon G.o.d and my appearance have nothing to do with each other
The guys who will attack will probably still attack
She probably said so because she doesn't know this world's humans very well, but Rune as well as Rau both don't need to know about such dirty things
Though I also want to protect such parts [their naivety]
As I honestly think so while watching the two, the annoying guys approach
"I can understand why Sei-dono proposed to demon G.o.d-sama now. Demon G.o.d-sama won't you marry me?"
Moreover, it's a proposal
These guys, their brains are all equally damaged
"Doyle-sama!? You mustn't! You have to leave behind descendants……!"
The man who seems to be his attendant is panicking
When it comes to a king, even if same s.e.x marriage is legal, they still have to leave behind descendants
Though it's nothing to do with me
"To actually propose, are you making fun of me? If I married an annoying b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you, I'd throw up"
It feels disgusting
Why must I be proposed to by these annoying ossans
If I weren't the demon G.o.d I'd send you flying
If the current me punched him, this guy would die
"In that case, who will the demon G.o.d-sama marry?"
Why is he talking like I must get married?
This ossan
"I don't feel like getting married"
Isn't such a thing up to the person?
"Just now, what did you say?"
How persistent
Whether or not I get married has nothing to do with this ossan
"Knight send this annoying guy away"
He's a bother
"To once again call Doyle-sama annoying….!"
The annoying knight (though everyone's annoying) was also there
The guy who's Kieshye's governor
Should I separate him away from me already
"Seize them"
All the humans were caged
(Alright then, separation complete)
In return, it was loud
"Shin-sama, can we go to town?"
"That's right, shall we go show off Rau"
"Show off?"
"Since Rau is cute"
I held Rau
The three also stood up and the sofa disappeared
Like that I teleported to town
After a while the cage should disappear on its own
