That's all for today.
The welcoming festival was supposed to be an Iron Knights-only event, but it took a funny turn when we asked Yudin for his help.
It became widely known to the public that the Iron Knights were going to hold an interesting event.
A high-ranking official of the king's government came to Fugaku with an important proposal from Yudin. I had no idea what he was talking about, but Jean immediately guessed what the proposal was.
I see, you are asking if the people can participate in this festival.
Yes, nowadays, the talk of the town is all about the festival held by the Iron Knights, and many people are appealing to the government to participate.As far as the enthusiasm of the people is concerned, there is even a concern that it could turn into a riot if things go badly. The government would like to keep things quiet and is wondering if it would be possible to hold this festival as a joint event between the kingdom and the Iron Knights.
The kingdom and the Iron Knights are not in a position to benefit from jointly hosting the festival. What kind of conditions did Yudin prepare?
Yes, we will bear all the expenses related to the event, and we will also provide local ingredients from all over the kingdom.
That's not a bad deal. What do you say, Yuta?
If you're willing to cover the expenses, that's good. I'm also interested in local ingredients.
Yes, that's right. However, we will take the initiative, and you will provide the funds and personnel.
Yes, of course. We will put together a project team immediately. You are free to use them as you wish.
The welcoming festival is going to involve the Meltaria Kingdom and will be bigger than we can imagine. However, we must not forget the original purpose of the festival. We must also make sure that the event welcoming the new members will be a success.
Even as we were preparing for the welcome party festival, additional applicants were arriving in droves.
Many of them were former riders of the Sword Clan and it seemed that they had come because they knew that Kiyone and Brnnhilde were in the Iron Knights.
They were all very surprised to learn that Sword Saint was still alive, and greeted him with tears in their eyes.
"Grand Master! You are alive!
The greatest joy of my life! I never thought I'd see you again, O-sensei.
We can fight together again, O-sensei!
Among the former members of the Sword Clan was my classmate Teppei, but he never showed up. Maybe he didn't want to be around me.
With the materials and stalls set up, the festival site is finally being prepared. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend the festival, including the people of Meltaria. The sight of hundreds of food stalls lined up was a sight to behold, perhaps comparable to a large festival in Japan.
A large circular stage was set up in the center of the festival site. I was told that some kind of event would be held here, but I was not told the details yet.
I think it will probably be a karaoke contest or something, but I am looking forward to it.
