A few days later, Zansas, Adventurer Guild.

Recently, as the Cockatrice Festival approaches, the guild is noisy and lively. The entire town is also progressing with preparations for the Cockatrice Festival. The Cockatrice Festival is the most magnificent festival of the year. It is a time to eat and drink a lot and make noise, and of course, it is also a busy time to earn money.

Leia was already very excited in the Guild Master’s private room.

“How about this cockatrice costume! It is a bit plump, right?” (Leia)

Leia pointed to a cockatrice costume placed there. By the way, it was adult size.

“If you think about going back and forth frequently between Healberry Village, what have you been making, degozaru?” (Ninja)

The ninja person, who had finished a batch of paperwork, spoke in an exasperated voice. Leia touched the belly of the costume and said one thing.

“I greatly improved the feel of touching the belly. After that, I made the inside comfortable to stay in as well.” (Leia)

“I am not asking about the improvements. Also, why do you have a costume, degozaru…?” (Ninja)

“I learned various things from S-rank adventurer Nana. As expected, vampires are an advanced species when it comes to costumes. They have costume manufacturing technology that far surpasses us.” (Leia)

“I do not really understand. You make it just because you learned something, degozaru…?” (Ninja)

“Of course!” (Leia)

Leia declared loudly.

“…I see, degozaru.” (Ninja)

“For this year’s Cockatrice Festival, we will prepare one hundred cockatrice costumes to welcome tourists. The budget plan is expected to pass in the council.” (Leia)

“I see, degozaru…” (Ninja)

The ninja person had a vague bad feeling. It was because Leia’s eyes were sparkling. Still, to make one hundred costumes, which are definitely not cheap. Leia continues to have mysterious political power as always. Or rather, the rumor that she kept visiting the council member’s office while wearing a cockatrice hat might be true.

“With that, I will select several people and create an acrobatic cockatrice costume team that can move around!” (Leia)

“Do you mean to use me, degozaru!?” (Ninja)

Suddenly, Leia approached and shoved the cockatrice hat in front of the ninja person’s eyes.

*Grinding*

The beak of the cockatrice hat mercilessly dug into the ninja person’s cheek.

“Too close, too close, degozaru!” (Ninja)

“So, could you please lead the cockatrice costume team!?” (Leia)

“Ugggh.” (Ninja)

“…You always cover your whole body in black clothing. It is only changing into a cockatrice costume.” (Leia)

“That is completely different. This is a traditional costume with history, degozaru.” (Ninja)
“…Is it absolutely impossible?” (Leia)

“Even if you make that face, it is impossible, degozaru.” (Ninja)

“…I want to see Hattori dancing.” (Leia)

“Ugh…” (Hattori)

The ninja person, Hattori, was at a loss for words.

Leia was eccentric and strange, but she did not waste effort. She came up with outrageous ideas but continued to bring benefits to the town and guild. Leia’s cockatrice hats had already received many reservations. It could not be denied that this was the fruit of steady promotional activities. The reason why the adventurers of Zanzas were among the highest-paid in the world was largely due to Leia. And after all, Hattori could not refuse Leia’s requests.

“Sigh, I understand… Even so, how did you prepare such costumes? The council would surely be reluctant, degozaru.” (Hattori)

“I paid half the money.” (Leia)

“That is dangerous, degozaru.” (Hattori)

“Yes… it might be dangerous. But because of this, Nana taught me many things.” (Leia)

S-rank adventurer Nana. She was from a vampire noble family, and I had heard her knowledge of magical tools was excellent. She usually wandered through various countries after being invited to many places, but unusually, she settled down in Healberry Village.

“Elt-sama has mysterious personal charm. Many vampires are capricious, though, degozaru.” (Hattori)

“She is good at presenting what people want. Also, vampires love tomatoes…” (Leia)

Leia nodded vigorously.

“We have prospects for increasing production of cockatrice plush toys. We plan to sell them on a large scale for the festival.” (Leia)

“Things are progressing steadily, degozaru.” (Hattori)

“This year, there will be a live piyo handshake event as well. Failure is not allowed…!” (Leia)

Leia’s eyes were burning fiercely. Her motivation, which had been invested most of her savings, was sufficient.

“With the money earned here, we will push forward the underground passage investigation as well!” (Leia)

Preparations for the Cockatrice Festival proceed.

On such an afternoon. At night, while reading a book, Dia, Marcosias, and Wood came to me.

“Tou-sama, Kaa-sama! We have a request piyo!” (Dia)

“Hm? What is it?” (Elt)

“We want to do something at the festival too, piyo!” (Dia)

“We want to do it!” (Marcosias)

“Ugo-ugo…” (Wood)

Wood seemed a little troubled. To tell the truth, Wood was in charge of quite a lot of work. Wood was the second strongest after Stella in the village and was busy with setting up the site. Also, making cotton bullets and such… that was quite well received too.

“Hey, that’s good. …So, what is it?” (Stella)

Stella asked with interest. I closed the book with a bookmark inside. Come to think of it, it was rare for just these three to do something together. Even if influenced by the festival atmosphere, it seemed like a good thing.

“Tell me.” (Elt)

“A play, piyo!” (Dia)

“We will perform it at the festival!” (Marcosias)

“Ugo ugo… We will do our best!” (Wood)

“Oh, that sounds interesting.” (Stella)

There were many play scripts at home. Maybe they had wanted to try it after listening to stories.

“That’s good! Do you already have something you want to do?” (Elt)

“This one, piyo! The main character has the same name as Kaa-sama, piyo!” (Dia)

“Huh?” (Elt)

“‘Hero Stella defeats Hell’s Marcosias’!” (Dia)

“Fuh.” (Stella)

Stella’s movement stopped.

Ugh, plays about Stella are popular around here. There are many books, so that choice is possible. If an adult said they want to do a play about Stella in front of Stella, they probably would not say that. Dia is a child. She simply chose something that looks interesting.

“Ugo ugo, interesting is interesting!” (Wood)

Wood’s eyes moved nervously.

It is rare. No, maybe he understands…

This play is a funny adaptation of Stella defeating Marcosias. It is still a popular play… but of all things, this one!?

“Maru-chan, do you understand what kind of play this is?” (Elt)

“It is a play about beating the bad Marcosias!” (Marcosias)

“Maru-chan has the same name, piyo! There is such a thing as coincidence, piyo.” (Dia)

“I am surprised myself.” (Stella)

Stella whispered into my ear.

“…It looks like they do not understand.” (Stella)

“It seems so.” (Elt)

“Wh-what should we do…” (Stella)

“Hmm…” (Elt)

Dia puffed out her chest and said…

“There are many roles, piyo. Maru-chan, what do you want to do, piyo?” (Dia)

“I want to play the role of Marcosias with the same name. ‘Fuhahaha, it is a hundred years too early to try to defeat me!’” (Marcosias)

“Perfect, piyo!” (Dia)

“Somehow the lines come out smoothly!” (Elt)

“Amazing, piyo! Big brother, what do you want? Main character is good, piyo?” (Dia)

“…Ugo ugo, Stella’s role…” (Wood)

He clearly looks troubled… That is right, it is difficult to play the hero Stella role… Even Stella is sweating and looking troubled.

“…Setting the role aside, do you want to do this play?” (Elt)

“I want to do it, piyo!” (Dia)

“I see… then, let’s do it.” (Elt)

“Elt-sama…!?” (Stella)

“Dia and Marcosias are motivated. It is good to do a play for the festival.” (Elt)

It is like a school play. There will be many things to learn.

“…That’s right. If we do it, it will be fun!” (Stella)

“Roger, piyo!” (Dia)

For that reason… we decided to do the play.

I have read Stella’s play in books and watched traveling performers a little, but it is the first time to do it in the village. If there are this many people, there might be experts or experienced people. I will check later.

“We will do it, piyo!” (Dia)

Dia jumped up and down.

Hmm, whatever the play is… I look forward to it.
