The time is before seven o'clock in the night. When the sun falls and the stars in the sky s.h.i.+ne.

I also need to go up on stage to hold the festival opening ceremony, but before that I had something to do.

"Really, thank you Gabriel-san who came today"

Contrary to the lively back, inside the Toyok.u.mo was so quiet that the voice echoed.

There were me, Balaina, Israphel, and Gabriel who I invited.

Gabriel is shrunk to the palm size because she will cause an disturbance if she remains in her true form.

As the Holy dragon standing at the top of the dragon race, she can freely change the size of her body.

"Thank you for inviting me to this city festival."

Gabriel said, flapping her wings.

"I was surprised when a strange bird suddenly flew, but when the bird started speaking in the voice of Kaito, the confluence was reached.

"Yes, this is a drone. I didn't know where Ms Gabriel was, so let it fly everywhere searching for your location. It is great that we were able to find you before the festival.

"Is that so. But, you could've called me through Israphel's telapathy? Did Israphel not cooperate?"

"Well, there were various circ.u.mstances."

When I called out, Israphel looked back at me with a distressed look.

I know. I know.

It's different from the promise! You want to say?

But humans are just creatures that lie.

Sorry, Israphel ...

"Israphel, why weren't you the one who called me?"

In Gabriel's pursuit, Israphel turned her head awkwardly.

"Oh, that's ..."

"that is?"

"My telepathy weren't working well so ... so that ... um ..."

Israphel, who moves her mouth mumbling, looks at me for help.

It seems pitiful to push her down any more.

It was a reunion of the mother and daughter, a time to be happy.

"Yes. Israphel's couldn't use her telepathy so, so I turned to the drones."

"Oh, was that so? I was surprised that this stupid girl cause ruckus that she didn't want to see me, so I thought thats why you used drone."

Mom is sharp! That was it!

"Haha, that wasn't the case."

Gabriel laughs happily when I laugh so deceptively.

"Hahaha. By the way, if you lie about thus stupid girl, I won't feel good. What is the truth?"

"I'm sorry it was a lie. Israphel said I shouldn't call Gabriel. I'm sorry."

Gabriel's eyes glowed sharply as I apologized for the lie at a speed of seconds.

"What is the meaning of this, Israphel?"

"... No, no, that's ..."

"Is it something you want to hide from your mother?"

"N, no, never!"

"Kaito, is that so ?"

Being suddenly asked for my testimony, I nodded vaguely.

"Yes, she seems to be working seriously, and that has helped to grow the tail."

"That's right! Look! The tail has grown!"

Look, Israphel waved his tail and made an appeal.

But Gabriel tilts her head.

"After a year, is it just the tail yet?"

"Eh? ... Yes, only the tail."

"It's proof that you're not good enough. Kaito, what is the truth?"

Once again, I was asked for testimony, and laughed.

"Well, a few things to come up with ..."

"I see. Israphel, what is the meaning of this?"

"………… Uuuuh

Israphel who was stared dagger by Gabriel, begins to cry.

This is bad! This is bad!

It will be very troublesome if you cry for real!

"Ms. Gabriel, it's time for the festival to begin!"

"... Yes, let's leave preaching for later."

The angry Gabriel sighed and caught on Israphel's shoulder.

"Will Kaito guide me?"

"I'm sorry, but I have an other tasks I can't leave, so Balaina will guide you in my place.

"Okay, so let's get off. Both of you let us depart as well."

Guided by Balaina who nodded, Israphel begins to walk.

On the way, Israphel looked back many times and asked for help silently, but there was nothing I could do ...

I'm sorry, Israphel.

No way, I didn't think I could be blamed for this kind of thing ...

I'm really sorry ... I'm sorry, but be sure to get a good ol scolding ...

It must be the shortest way to return to the dragon.

I waved a white handkerchief at Israphel, tearing.

In any case, the festival to celebrate the first anniversary of Pomdor begins safely.

"--Then, the first Pomdor Memorial Festival will begin!"

After the opening declaration by Sena, the orchestra plays the fanfare.

Although it is an orchestra of only 12 people, including three of the hornedmen's pack, it was a wonderful performance suitable for exciting the festival.

I felt my chest warm up as I think about how much they've practiced during this short period of time.

After the fanfare, the orchestra continued to play BGM.

Light and exciting songs that will not defeat the whistles of other residents enjoying the festival will make the square bright and fun.

"It has finally begun!"

I smiled and nodded at Sena's hot words next door.

"That's right. Everyone looks like they are having fun."

"Yes! Everyone has a wonderful smile!"

"We want enjoy with them, but we have to manage the stage."

The orchestral performance will continue for thirty minutes before the play begins.

I can't just let them work and let Sena and I, the heads of the festival wander.

It started when the play started, so I had to stay here because I didn't perform but I had to help behind the scenes.

After the two plays finishes, the performance resumes.

This time it will last until the end of the festival, so I and Sena cannot be separated.

In any case, given the time of the problem, the person in charge should stay in one place to get things done quickly.

"Well, it's good to look at everyone's happy face like this."

"Haha it really is the real pleasure of the person in charge."

"Sena you can leave for for a little bit you know? Your sisters are lonely without you."

"I can't just leave Mr. Kaito alone and have fun! And my sisters are enjoying themselves even without me."

Looking at the point where she pointed, I saw that Nao, s.h.i.+ro, and Kuro biting onto the apple candy.

"When I thought they are still young girls who needs to be taken care of, but in no time they seemed to have grown up and didn't need me any more. I am the one who's lonely.

I could only laugh bitterly at the words mixed with sighs of Sena.
