Next, we were headed to Til-san’s performance, so I called out Gluttony-san’s name and asked her to teleport us to her location.
Until now, a rift in space had simply opened to serve as a gateway to the next area, but this time was a bit different.
"Miyama Kaito-sama, please excuse my sudden appearance."
"Gluttony-san?"
Before now, only the portal would manifest without Gluttony-san ever showing her face, but this time, she had appeared in person.
"Actually, the people I am traveling with are currently near Tiltania’s event as well. Would it be all right if I guided you to them first?"
"Oh? Funf-san and Raz-san are there? What a coincidence. Sure, that works for me."
Gluttony-san had mentioned when we first met that she was touring the Harmonic Symphony with Funf-san and Raz-san.
It was an unexpected connection, but apparently Funf-san and Gluttony-san had been friends for a very long time.
In any case, if those two were near Til-san’s venue, I wanted to stop and say hello. I checked with everyone else, and since no one had an objection, I asked her to teleport us there.
Then, we were whisked away by Gluttony-san’s teleportation magic...
"Ah, Kaito-kun! Everyone! Over here!"
"Wait, Kuro?! You’re here too?"
"Yep! Raz invited me. I didn't have much on my schedule today, after all."
Kuro greeted us with a bright smile and a wave. I was genuinely surprised; I hadn't expected to run into her here at the Harmonic Symphony.
Just then, Raz-san popped out from behind Kuro.
"Kaitokun-saaan!"
"Hello, Raz-san."
"Hello! I’m so happy to see you!!"
I exchanged greetings with the energetic and adorable Raz-san, feeling my heart warm a little. I said hello to Funf-san next, and we all spent a few moments chatting.
"Oh, Sieg, about next month’s schedule... Sorry, but there’s one day that’s going to be a bit inconvenient for me."
"Oh, I see. Which day is it?"
Sieg-san visited Funf-san for special training several days every month, so they already had a rapport and spoke to each other like close friends.
"Still, it’s quite something to run into so many of the Six Kings and their executives in such a massive venue."
At Luna-san’s murmur, Lilia-san stared off into the distance with a hollow look in her eyes.
She had a point. We’d already run into two of the Six Kings, and even excluding the Seven Princesses, we had crossed paths with three executives: Gluttony-san, Eingana-san, and Flare-san.
"Honestly, I feel like we’re seeing fewer of them than we did during the White God Festival."
"So true."
Aoi-chan and Hina-chan seemed entirely unfazed, their expressions merely bordering on exasperation.
