In the dark corridors, the slimes still work day and night.

At first glance, the tunnels seem to be all connected, but in fact the tunnels are full of dead ends, and there is only one entrance to the deepest part.

"It's always a matter of digging holes...... Does this really work?" Ellis was not optimistic about Garusis's actions, "I haven't seen you succeed with this trick once. ”

Garucis smashed straight into the fireball: "You know too much. ”

It's because he always doesn't succeed that he struggles, so Garucis wants to succeed once no matter what...... Especially when it comes to facing the brave Messiah.

Taking a deep breath, Garucis made a decision: "This time it will definitely work...... It was Thanksgiving. ”

Ellis replied nonchalantly, "But, I heard that Anstaro is closed for Thanksgiving this year." ”

“...... it!"

......

It was in the early days of Anstaro's founding, and the people of Anstaro, who had bid farewell to their pirate career, had a hard time.

Living in poor conditions, coupled with the fact that the vast majority of people did not know how to farm, at that time the country had to import 80% of its grain from other countries, but even so, many people starved to death because they could not afford to buy food.

Some chose to leave their homeland, while others chose to take risks and continue to be pirates...... It was at that time that Queen Christine Blackwing and the alchemists who followed her improved the seeds of the grain to adapt it to the cold weather of Anstaro.

Since then, the people of Anstaro have celebrated this day as Thanksgiving, thanking Kristen Blackwing and her alchemists for bringing Winter Wheat.

Throughout the day, celebrations take place in various towns of Anstaro, with the largest celebration in King Ace.

King George was surprised by the Messianic question.

"The Thanksgiving celebration has been suspended this year, after all, wild monsters have appeared everywhere on the continent, so how can you be in the mood to celebrate before you solve it...... I remember that this matter has already been announced to the whole country, don't you know?"

"Or is it the space door last time?

George propped his cheek with one hand, and a touch of unhappiness appeared on his face: "No, that group of monsters has been solved...... The problem is that the space gate does not disappear just yet, but some monsters will pour out every once in a while, which is very nerve-wracking. ”

At this point, George stared at the Messiah, as if wishing he would continue to ask.

But the Messiah obviously didn't notice this, but an unnatural expression flashed on his face, and then he said to George, "Well, then I'll take my leave." ”

"It's a shame......"

Leaving George's study, the Messiah's mood was full of mixed feelings.

【I stayed at the Dragon Lodge......】

Suddenly remembering what Arya had said before leaving, the Messiah decided to go and see her in person...... Although he is full of sleepiness now, he definitely can't sleep well without asking this question.

[Why did Arya say she was here for the Thanksgiving celebration? Didn't she know that this year's celebration had been discontinued?...... No, maybe she just didn't pay attention, just like me!]

He thought of the worst-case scenario, but was immediately dismissed...... Although even he felt self-defeating.

Before he knew it, he had reached the door of the Dragon's Inn. Standing at the door of the inn, he suddenly realized that he couldn't take a step.

[I'm here, am I afraid...... Obviously I have already made up my mind. 】

"Mr. Messiah?"

At this moment, the girl's joyful voice came from the direction overhead, and when she looked up, she found that Alia was waving to the Messiah at the window.

The warm smiling face of the other party calmed down the Messiah, who was still hesitant.

"Miss Arya, I want to ask you something, are you free now?"

"Of course, please come up. ”

......

The hotel was heated, so Arya didn't wrap herself tightly in her coat, but dressed up in a blue-purple cardigan and a black hakama, looking energetic.

Her hair was wrapped in a towel and she looked as if she had just washed her hair.

"You may be seated, Mr. Messiah prefers tea or coffee? By the way, tea is a black tea bag, and coffee is instant coffee. ”

"Coffee, thank you. Thinking that he might not be able to sleep today, Messiah decisively chose coffee.

"Please wait. ”

Soon, Arya came over with two cups of coffee.

"Please take your time. ”

“...... Thank you. ”

[Could it be that she didn't wear underwear inside...... No, what am I thinking~!!]

Although he was wearing a sweater, the slight tremor in his chest when he bent over made the Messiah feel a little fluttering...... Fortunately, he still remembered the matter, so he was not confused by the scenery in front of him.

After all, there's nothing to be addicted to in this kind of scenery that doesn't show anything...... Probably.

"Miss Arya. ”

"Yes!" Seeing Messiah's straight face, Arya couldn't help but subconsciously sit up straight.

"Did you know that this year's Thanksgiving celebration was closed not long ago?"

Arya had a surprised look on her face, "The festival is off!? Why is that? ”
