The flower viewing banquet, which started because of my desire to make a cherry blossom tree, lasted all throughout the night, and the next morning, there were people all over the place who were down with hangovers.
「……this is a tragedy. There’s corpses everywhere.」
「Yes, in a place with little daily entertainment, this was a magnificent cherry blossom viewing. It couldn’t be helped that they acted without restraint.」
Sophia and I observed the people inside the garden and the people who partied outside of outside the garden who were lying on the ground having drank themselves unconscious.
The Sanctuary has all sorts of musical instruments, and it can be enjoyed in the concert hall. That’s why I think it’s better than the outside world, but even then, everyone was still excited about the new thing known as an 『Ohanami』.
「Still, it was definitely fun.」
「Right. But gazing at the cherry blossoms like this is also nice.」
「Here, I brought us some tea~.」
「I baked some cookies to go with the tea.」
「Thank you Maria, Marnie.」
As I was sitting absentmindedly on a char by the table underneath the cherry blossom tree, Maria and Marnie came with tea and snacks.
「Fuu~ they really is so beautiful, these cherry blossoms.」
「Yeah, though these are also nice when flowers start falling.」
「I would love to see the falling petals dance with the wind.」
The growth of this cherry blossom tree can be controlled by the will of Dryas and the Sakura Spirits. That’s why it was possible for them to bloom multiple times in a year just like in the Sanctuary’s orchard. However, as a result of our discussion, we decided it would only happen once a year.
After all, the cherry blossoms can be appreciated more if it’s once a year.
「Should we have a bit more entertainment?」
「……hmmm, I wonder.」
At present, the only event in the Sanctuary is the autumn harvest festival. Obviously, this world doesn’t have Christmas or Halloween.
「The only festival that every country does is the harvest festival. I’ve lived in a slavery store ever since I was young so I don’t know much more than that though.」
「Even Yggurle Kingdom only does harvest festivals.」
「The Rabbitkin village I was born in was poor, so we didn’t even have a harvest festival.」
In Valkyra Kingdom, the annual autumn harvest was a festival in the cities and villages aside from the royal capital. On the other hand, the capital holds the founding festival to celebrate the founding of their country.
The founding festival was supposedly very lively, but I’ve never actually seen it.
Basically, in this world where people are desperate to survive, they don’t have the complacency to be able to celebrate festivals. The Sanctuary was a special case.
「Right now, I don’t think you have to think about anything outside of the Sanctuary. Takumi-sama, you have a responsibility to the Sanctuary, but anything outside of that is the responsibility of each country and their lords.」
「She’s right. At most, it would be with Berkut-chan and the people of the Sky Island?」
「You have a point.」
Just as Sophia and Maria said, I don’t have to do everything myself as that was conceited of me.
「……oh yeah, weren’t sports also popular?」
「What are “sports”?」
「Ahh, so I’ll have to start from there.」
I suppose Maria’s question was valid.
In this world where there are bandits and monsters outside of cities and villages, sports couldn’t be born.
So, I talked about sports where various body types compete to win a game.
I gave examples like baseball and football/soccer, also swimming and track & field events.
「I’ve heard that a fighting tournament using swords with dulled edges is held in the capital of Triaria Kingdom……」
「I think that our sports should be to fight while following the rules and not killing each other.」
Sophia told me that fighting tournaments existed, but the fighting tournament conducted in Triaria Kingdom was using gladiator slaves to fight to the death. It wasn’t just man versus man, bouts could also be set to be man versus monster, and the country profits from it by being the bookmaker for the bets.
「It seems a portion of it goes towards the expenditures towards their wars with other countries.」
「As expected of Triaria Kingdom. It’s more barbaric of a country than I imagined.」
But martial arts wasn’t suitable for the Sanctuary.
「I think it would be interesting to have everyone in the Sanctuary participate in a sports day.」
「A sports day?」
Marnie was once again puzzled by the unfamiliar words, tilting her head.
「Yup, don’t you think it would be interesting to have games for the fleet-footed people, make a rope for tug of war, hang a basket high up and compete how many balls they could shoot into it, and games that anyone could participate in?」
「That sounds nice. I think the children would also enjoy that.」
「In any case, should we hold sports day in the fall?」
「The harvest festival is in fall too. Would summer not work?」
「Hmm~ It might be troublesome to move around so much in the heat if it’s summer. Autumn might be best.」
The climate in the Sanctuary isn’t too cold in the winter, and summers aren’t as humid as in Japan so it’s more bearable. But the temperature is too high to have the Sports Day.
「So, so, wouldn’t it be better if we have new events for summer and winter too then?!」
「You’re right. If it’s limited to the Sanctuary, and since people aren’t struggling to survive here, it might be nice to have those kinds of events to have some competition in their lives.」
As I watched the wasted adults sleeping on the ground and I thought this would be a nice thin to have once in a while, I enjoyed drinking tea while talking to my dear wives about new events.
