Harvest Festival And Dance Party

The day of the harvest festival is here. It's a festival for the commoners on this day.

I asked Alberia to bring Nina, Mimosa, Primula, Ivy, and Amy to the festival and have fun. I told her that, during that time, Okaa-san, Forlan, and I would look after the stable. Alberia pampers Amy like her younger sister, so she happily agreed to it.

Nina can't participate in the matchmaking dance party, but she has the right to enjoy the harvest festival as a commoner. Besides, it's necessary to have a breather as well after all.

I'm having Forlan's elder sisters, Arnica and Romy, follow Torenia-oba-san and Shion-oba-san, who have entered the final month of their pregnancy. It wouldn't be strange even if they give birth any time now.

"Tsukuyomi, what are we doing today?"

"Forlan. I wonder what we should do. Shall we do something with Kohaku?"

"In that case, I want to ride Kohaku!"

"Aah, you want to be a wolf boy, huh? Let's try asking Kohaku"

『Kohaku! Forlan says he wants to try riding Kohaku. Can he?』

『ride? forlan?』

『Yeah. Can he try riding you?』

『sure』

"Forlan. Kohaku says you can ride him!"

"Alright, let's try riding him. Kohaku. Then, I'm getting on"

'Heave-ho', he straddled him. Immediately after, Kohaku started running energetically. Forlan panickly wraps his arms around his neck and clings to him.

As you would expect of a wolf. He's running around the vicinity at quite the speed.

"Forlan! Tell me if it gets tough. I'll tell Kohaku to stop"

"Ah. Ahー it is enough already! I'm gonna fall!"

『Kohaku! You can return already!』

『okay, return』

"Haaーa, it was a tremendous speed"

"If you compare it to horse riding, which is more fun?"

"Speed-wise, I think Kohaku is faster. But he's not comfortable to ride"

"Forlan. Did you already manage to get a passing grade for horse riding from your Otou-sama?"

"Just for walking. He says that I cannot run yet"

"I wanna hurry up and go to the lake with Tsukuyomi and Armeria-oba-sama"

"I see. Do your best practising then! I'm looking forward to it!"

"Un. I'll do my best!"

It's really adorable how innocent Forlan is.

Alberia and others came back as we were feeding lunch to Kohaku and the stable's horses and cleaning up.

"Armeria-sama. Tsukuyomi-sama. Thank you for house-sitting. Ah! I was going to do the cleaning!"

"Huh? You're already back?"

"Why, we went and had plenty of fun. We ate delicious dishes, and we also managed to receive plenty of sweets"

Nina and Mimosa and company were happily holding a bag filled with sweets.

"Mimosa. Was it fun?"

"Yes. I had known about it ever since I was in the forest, but back then, there were a lot of people and I did not understand anything, so I was scared and could not get close. The harvest festival was something so fun huh"

"I'm glad to hear that. Did Primula manage to have fun as well?"

"Yes! God-sama. It is the first time I have had this much fun since I was born"

"What about Ivy?"

"There was a wonderful boutique"

"I see. You got to see beautiful dresses huh. It'd be great if you could save up your salary and buy the dresses huh"

"Yes. God-sama"

"How was it for Amy?"

"It was filled with delicious food. My belly is filled as well"

"I see, Amy. I'm glad"

"Nina. Is it your first time going to such a festival?"

"Yes. It was my first time"

"I see. Did something happy happen?"

"I, did not know of anything apart from the Moon Palace. But I am brought to all kinds of places thanks to Tsukuyomi-sama, and I am happy about that. Just seeing beautiful sceneries that I have never seen before and seeing plenty of people having fun like today is blissful"

"Is that so. Nina likes travelling huh. Well then, let's try going to all kinds of countries again when we have the chance, shall we"

"Is that for real! I am so happy!"

Is that so, Nina likes travelling huh. Let's bring Nina as our maid when I go out with Okaa-san in the future then.

And then, the day of the matchmaking dance party came. The preparation for the standing meal party is ready in the castle's banquet hall. The target demographic today is high-ranking nobles, so the dishes also use high-class ingredients that match the entrance fee.

A registry of the participants was created, and ribbons to wear on the chest were also prepared. The participants will verify their names on the registry at the venue entrance and wear the ribbon.

And then, tons of men and women had gathered in the banquet hall. Lia and Mira, who are Marquis' daughters, were amongst them as well. There were also a few familiar faces from the Chivalric Order.

I suppose everybody ordered brand new dresses, and with the effects of their undergarments as well, they have beautiful silhouettes. Dresses of all kinds of colours were in full bloom inside the venue.

Nobody in the Royal Family is participating. Because Louisa-nee-sama's engagement had been decided, and Arnica-nee-sama and Romy-nee-sama are underage.

It's the first dance party, so it was decided that I, the proposer, will give my greetings alongside an explanation of its purpose.

I floated in the air and flew towards the stage. The venue started getting rowdy, and plenty of attention had gathered on me by the time I went up on stage.

"Everybody. I am Tsukuyomi. I think there are also some who are seeing me for the first time, so first of all, I will introduce myself"

"I, am soon to be 6 years old in this world. But I lived in a different world before I reincarnated into this world. I lived for 25 years over there. I reincarnated with those memories intact. And then the dance party that is held from here on out today is a system of my previous life's world"

"This dance party is a place for people to meet, where men and women who wish to marry can gather and choose someone who fits themselves without interference by anybody like your parents"

"You are choosing by yourself, so you have to take responsibility for what comes after by yourself as well. That's why please take your time talking to the other party and start by learning about the other party"

"Also, I have a request for the married men. For those of you who came to search for a person who you feel will give birth for you because your current wife is unable to bear a successor, please consult me directly after this without joining the dance party. I will instruct you on how to conceive a boy"

"Everybody, listen up. It will no longer be the era of getting married simply for the sake of making a successor from here on out. The person you marry has to be a good lifetime partner"

"Whether a person is good or bad, is not something decided by their family's wealth or their appearance. Please look for someone who both of you can genuinely love each other, trust each other, and respect each other"

"Furthermore, if this party today is well received by everybody, we will hold it periodically in the future as well. That's why you do not necessarily have to find someone today; there will always be next time. There is no need to hurriedly decide on someone. Please enjoy the dance party without too much weight on your shoulders"

"Well then, from now on, we will start the first matchmaking dance party. Everybody, please enjoy yourselves"

"Uoーーh!"

"Kyaaーーh!"

"Tsukuyomi-samaーーa!"

"Marry meーーe!"

Thunderous applause reverberated, and music started playing in the venue.

I asked Stellaria beforehand to be my partner.

I intend to watch over this dance party from start to finish. But, taking into consideration that the participants would probably also be concerned if I loitered about by myself, I thought I would constantly be with Stellaria and monitor quietly.

"Stellaria. Can I ask you to be my partner today?"

"Yes. Gladly"

"Then, since I will hover to match Stellaria's height, may I link arms with you?"

"Yes. Please do"

"Let us slowly walk around and have a look at the venue like this then, shall we"

"Yes. As you wish"

"Stellaria. You're stiff! Don't be so nervous. The you today is very beautiful. Be more confident!"

"Ye-, yes. Tsukuyomi-sama"

I unleash the Telepathy I normally have off today. It's in full-powered search mode. I'll randomly read the participant's heart and smoke out those with sinister thoughts. Well, I'm meddling unnecessarily though. Is this what they call a 'mother hen'?

I monitor them attentively, especially the married men. I read their hearts whenever I find a man with a ribbon with a white line.

I said it upfront and asked those who have come in hopes of a bride solely for giving birth to a successor to refrain themselves. But, nobody came to me to consult about gender selection. In other words, it means they simply want multiple wives. Of course, there is still a lack of men at the moment, so I cannot deny polygamy though.

Now then, I wonder what is the reason they want multiple wives. I'm curious. I immediately found a married person.

『I wonder if I'll find a woman who's good enough for this here me today? A man of my calibre can have as many wives as he wants. My capability, my intelligence, and my wealth. All the women around the world would want to be my wife after all. Fufufuu』

Uwah! It's a disgusting fellow right off the bat. I whisper to Stellaria.

"Stellaria. Do you know the man over there?"

"Yes. That is, Margrave Ficus Dianthus. I believe he is over 35 years old if I am not wrong"

"Mumumuu"

"Is something the matter?"

"I will keep it to myself since I don't want to spoil Stellaria's mood"

But it looks like the young women who were spoken to by him are quickly running away, so well, I guess it's fine.

It ended up spoiling my mood a bit, but I found Mira there. It looks like she's talking to a man who's still young.

Let's maybe try eavesdropping just a little.

"Does Mira-sama remember me?"

"I think Schultz-sama was 2 years my senior if I remember correctly......"

"That's right. You do remember me. Please call me Emil"

"Ye-, yes. I heard Emil-sama was engaged though?"

"I already turn that down. It was something our parents arbitrarily decided. Of course, that lady wasn't bad, but I read the book made by Tsukuyomi-sama and was deeply touched"

"And I think it is exactly as what Tsukuyomi-sama said at the start of this party. I do not want to get married if it is not with a woman I can love from the bottom of my heart"

"My! You read Tsukuyomi-sama's book huh"

"Yes. Mira-sama, of course, read it, right?"

"Yes. At the moment, I am Tsukuyomi-sama's maid after all"

"Is that true! Is Tsukuyomi-sama, as expected, a Saviour?"

"Yes. I firmly believe so"

It has a good vibe, but it sure is a bit awkward that it turned into a conversation about me. Let's maybe look at somebody else.

Ah, Lia is by herself.

"Lia. What's the matter?"

"Ah! Tsukuyomi-sama. As I thought, it is embarrassing......"

"Is that so. But there is no need to hurry after all. If you just take a look around......"

Wait, when I turned around, I found a young man by himself looking over here.

"Lia. Do you know the man standing over there?"

"Ah! Ye-, yes. That is, Oscar Hawthorne, the eldest son of a Earl house"

"Are you acquainted?"

"Eeh, he is my classmate. He is the son of the territory beside my House"

"Well then, you are childhood friends huh"

"Yes. That is correct"

"He seems to be looking at Lia the whole time, you know"

"I-, is that so?"

"Hmm, what does Lia think about him?"

"Eh! Tha-, that is......"

At that moment, I heard Lia's heart's voice.

『I adored Oscar-sama since a long time ago, but his House is a Earl house. He will probably not speak to me, the daughter of a Marquis house』

Hmーm. I see. I pull Stellaria away from Lia slightly and try asking her in a soft voice.

"Stellaria, does the daughter of a Marquis house not go well with the eldest son of a Earl house?"

"As the Earl house, they will probably refrain themselves. But if I am not wrong, I think Lia is the second daughter, so I think there is no problem though"

"What, is that so"

My nosiness explodes.

"The Oscar-dono over there. Come over here for a bit"

"Eh? M-, me?"

"Tsukuyomi-sama!"

Lia's face is turning red, and she's panicking a bit.

"Oscar-dono. It seems you are childhood friends with Lia, right?"

"Ye-, yes. The territories of Richter-sama and my House are beside each other, and we are classmates"

"Oscar-dono, Lia is working as my maid. That adorable Lia, does not have anybody to talk to for some reason at the moment. Oscar-dono, could I ask you to do your childhood friend a favour and talk to and dance with Lia from here on out?"

"Eh? That is......I am a Earl house's son. I believe it would be rude to Lia-sama, a Marquis house's daughter......"

"Oh? Lia may be a Marquis' daughter, but she is the second daughter, you know. The eldest son of a Earl house would not be unworthy"

"I-, is that so?"

"Oscar-dono. Be more confident in yourself. What did you come here to do today?"

"Ye- yes!"

"Well then, I am counting Lia on you"

"U-, understood!"

I, pulled Stellrai and retreated. Lia had a crimson-red face when I turned around.

"Stellaria. Did I meddle unnecessarily?"

"Tsukuyomi-sama really is kind huh"

"Is it alright to assume that that was not wrong?"

"Eeh, of course. I think those two go well together"

I wonder if I'm nosy......
