“Hey, drink more! Your husband over there should drink more too!”
The booming voice of Gen, the master carpenter, echoed through the air. And around him, many people were drinking, eating, laughing, and talking. In the capital city of Agarta, an unprecedented and incredibly outrageous scene was unfolding.
The king of the country, sitting beside the carpenter, was being forced to drink while completely drunk. And next to him, Emperor Hideita of the Hideita Empire was leisurely fanning the flames of the party, laughing heartily and slowly sipping his drink.
Has there ever been a scene where the emperor and the king, in the open air no less, were drinking with a carpenter? But this gathering didn’t stop there. Even more outrageous scenes were unfolding around them.
“Alright, the pasta is ready!”
The queen of Agarta, Ricolette, who had been gracefully boiling and making sauce for a large amount of pasta, announced its completion. Despite her slightly plump belly, she skillfully prepared the dishes without any hesitation. And beside her, many women including Peyris, Ferris, and Luala were cooking and treating everyone with their food.
“Rico-chan, you shouldn’t overexert yourself while pregnant!”
“It’s alright, dear.”
“That’s right! When I was young, I used to move around a lot!”
While having a conversation with ordinary middle-aged women, the queen cooked the meals… It was a scene that left Gremont, the prime minister of the Hideita Empire, with an amazed expression. Nearby, a pregnant woman was being pampered by the middle-aged women wearing aprons.
“Mei-chan, I’m so happy for you. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Thank you.”
Blushing, the second lady of Agarta, Meirias, responded.
The emperor, the royal family, the prime minister, beastmen, monsters, men, women, people of all ranks and races came together and held a banquet. Later, this would be called the “Miracle of Agarta” and become an event that shocked the world and went down in history.
…It all started with a lighthearted feeling. Never could anyone have imagined it would turn into something like this.
In late October, when the autumn harvest in Agarta was coming to an end, the guest mansion was finally completed. It was about half the size of the Tokyo Dome, a three-story building made of stone and wood, a magnificent structure. According to Gen, the building could still be expanded, and they would discuss it at an appropriate time and opportunity.
And eagerly awaiting its completion, Concidy and Soleil arrived. Matokal also arrived in response to their arrival.
They exclaimed in awe as they entered the guesthouse, immediately captivated by the interior and its furnishings. The maids rejoiced and carried their belongings into the rooms.
With the completion of the guest mansion, the expansion of the residence in the capital was also finished. Three additional rooms were added, and an extra toilet was installed. The vacant space on the first floor was converted into a library after some consideration. With the increasing number of books belonging to Mei and Peyris, they decided on that.
Concidy, Soleil, and Matokal were also delighted with the residence in the capital. They particularly rejoiced at the feature of warm toilet seats.
They moved their personal belongings into the assigned rooms, purchased missing items in the capital or Agarta, and gradually settled in.
Everything was ready by the beginning of November. On that day, we moved our workspace to the guesthouse. The building we had occupied became the official headquarters of the Agarta military, with Layfence taking charge.
At that moment, as we were having a late lunch, Gen, the master carpenter, came to visit.
“General! How do you like the mansion we built?”
“Gen-san, you’ve created something amazing! Thank you! I apologize for the late gratitude.”
“No worries, it’s all good! So, here’s the thing: we’re planning to gather the carpenters and have a lively drinking session. General, if you’d like, why don’t you join us? Show some appreciation for the work of your comrades!”
“Sure, if that’s the case, it’s a small favor. Gen-san, please wait a moment.”
Saying that, I went to see Rico. When I told her about Gen-san’s request, she enthusiastically agreed.
“Gen-san, sorry for keeping you waiting. I just talked to Rico, and she’s thrilled. She said we can use the guesthouse’s garden for the gathering. And we’ll participate as well. We’ll take care of the drinks and food, so you gather your colleagues.”
“Alright, I’ll gladly accept that!”
So, initially, the plan came together like this. We scheduled the event for five days later, and the news spread throughout the city, resulting in more and more people wanting to participate. Three days later, Gen-san, with his usually red face turned pale, appeared again, accompanied by his wife.
“General, I’m sorry. That news has spread throughout the city… Everyone is coming…”
“Everyone? How many people will that be?”
“I don’t know. Roughly estimated, around a thousand?”
“A, a thousand?”
“Master craftsmen… Tome-kou, Hachi, Kuma, Jin-kou… Their disciples… Stone workers, lumber workers… The list goes on and on for those involved.”
“Well, even so, we have to figure something out… There’s no turning back at this point, right?”
“I’m sorry, General… It’s a mess…”
As Gen-san looked disheartened, his wife stepped forward.
“Don’t worry, General, we’ll help! If we gather the wives, we can easily prepare meals for a thousand or two thousand people without a problem! It’s just that we’ll rely on you for the ingredients and alcohol.”
“U-Understood. What kind of ingredients would be good?”
“Anything will do! As long as it’s not poisonous, we can make anything!”
Overwhelmed by the forcefulness of the women, I ended up being responsible for preparing the ingredients and alcohol.
When I shared this with Rico, she started listing various issues and their solutions, such as the cooking area, dining area, and garbage disposal. I left those matters to her, and I became busy with the preparations for the banquet, which was only two days away.
During that time, I also went to report to His Majesty in the imperial capital, and this time, His Majesty showed interest in the banquet.
“I would like to go as well.”
“No, Your Majesty! It is not appropriate for you to attend such an event!”
Naturally, the Prime Minister strongly opposed it, and I agreed with him.
“What if we disguise our identities? Surely, no one would expect the Emperor of Hideita to be there.”
“But, Your Majesty, we cannot risk any harm coming to you!”
“Prime Minister, isn’t this also an opportunity to observe the people’s state? Very well, I understand. In that case, Prime Minister, you shall accompany me.”
“Why me?!”
“Are you concerned about my well-being? If the Prime Minister accompanies me and keeps an eye on me, there shouldn’t be any problems!”
“Hmm… Your Majesty…”
And so, as the head and his head clerk, Gremont, of the Hideita Empire, had decided to attend the event with prestigious disguises.
On the day of the event, over 2,000 people had gathered. In the beautiful garden surrounded by spacious lawns, under the clear autumn sky, I found myself entrusted with the task of leading the toast.
“Uh… Um… Well… Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Please continue to support us. As for everyone who gathered here today…”
“General! That’s too long! Hurry up!”
Boos and jeers came from somewhere. I blinked my eyes, trying to focus.
“T-T-Toa-toasstttt!”
And so, the historic banquet began. From the podium, I had a clear view of the faces of the gathered people. Somehow, I spotted Vivar, the chieftain of the Sairius tribe. Nonchalantly moving next to her, I saw Layfence exchanging greetings. Yuri, the Prime Minister of the Niza Principality who should have returned to his own country, was already heading to try Peyris’s dishes. And for some reason, even the Deer God and Rony were there. His Majesty seemed truly happy…
Lost in such thoughts, I heard the shouts from below by Gen-san and the others, urging me to join them in drinking. And on that day, I continued to drink until I lost consciousness.
Just before succumbing to drunkenness, completely intoxicated, I took my new wives to the stage. I grabbed the confused women’s arms and led them forcefully, without giving them a choice. Later, I heard that it resembled a form of abduction. And facing the gathered crowd, I opened my mouth to speak.
“Ladies and gentlemen, these are my newly wedded wives. I kindly ask for your continued support in the future.”
After a while, thunderous applause erupted from the venue. I remember that much from that day, but I don’t recall what was a dream and what was reality afterwards.
“Hey, drink more! Your husband over there should drink more too!”
