I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1712: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑥

Chapter 1712: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑥

Perhaps thanks to a solid lovey-dovey time with Shiro-san in that mysterious corridor space, by the time we were about to return for the Founding Festival, Shiro-san seemed to be in a very good mood.
Well, if Shiro-san was happy, then it was worth the effort on my part as well…… However, as expected, I feel like that kind of aggressive approach really doesn’t suit me.
[Now then, shall we go back, Kaito-san? Where would you like to go next? Do you want to continue checking out stalls?]
[I think we’ve seen enough stalls, so how about we head on to the next place? It might take a while to move to the next location with all the people though……]
[That won’t be a problem. We can just change the location we would be returning to from this space…… A largish plaza relatively close to that stall area, would that be okay?]
[Ah, that sounds good. If it’s a plaza, there might be some events held over there.]
It seems that she will be adjusting the location when returning from this subspace, and it’s honestly appreciated that we can move to the next location without navigating through the crowd.
Having enjoyed the street food stalls and checked out various goods at the stalls, the next thing I want to do is definitely see some kind of event.
Just like the Sea Dragon Parade I saw when I went with Alice, it seems that various events are happening all over the Royal Capital, with the entire city as the venue of the Founding Festival. I’m quite looking forward to it.
Thinking about such things, I moved with Shiro-san to the venue of the Founding Festival…… As Shiro-san had said, it was a large plaza relatively close to the place we had just been, and what I heard immediately was loud music that made my body tremble.
When I turned my gaze towards the sound in surprise, I saw a large stage at the back of the plaza, on which it sounded like a performance was taking place.
……Could that be a live performance!? O- Ohh…… Amazing. I knew that music had developed quite a bit in this world, and there are music festivals like the Harmonic Symphony, so it’s not surprising that live performances…… music festivals like this exist.
However, it’s quite moving seeing it in person. Moreover, this music is definitely rock, a music genre I’m hearing for the first time in this world.
……No, Alice had played it for Aoi-chan and Hina-chan pair during my birthday karaoke, but that’s Alice we’re talking about here, so I don’t think that counts.
However, thinking about it again, everyone else at that venue just accepted rock music normally, so I think they knew about that genre too.
I guess I simply haven’t had the chance to be exposed to it since I came to this world. I certainly may have seen the Harmonic Symphony, but the music at that event was more on the classical and pop side, so it’s possible that rock music wasn’t played in that event.
[What a large crowd. It seems they’re having a music event here, so if Shiro-san doesn’t mind, let’s go and listen.]
[Yes, I don’t mind.]
I do like rock quite a bit…… but I’ve only watched them on music shows on TV, listened to popular songs on CDs, and never experienced things like live performances.
How should I say this…… I felt that actually going to live venues to listen to music was a pretty high hurdle to cross, so I’ve been avoiding doing that…… and in the first place, I didn’t have any friends to go with……
I- In any case, when I actually saw people performing live, I was overwhelmed by the power of the music. Combined with the lively atmosphere of the plaza serving as the venue, the atmosphere is starting to get uplifted.
“Now, the voltage of the venue is at its peak! Next up was our popular, up-and-coming three-piece band! DRAGON SOUL!”
The band that was playing when we arrived finished their song, and when the name of the next band was called out, a loud cheer resounded. They seem to be quite a popular band…… I suppose I can look forward to their performance.
When I turned my attention to the stage, I saw three people wearing helmet-like headgear that seemed to resemble dragons, although I don’t know if this was because of their band name being Dragon Soul.
Although their faces were obscured by their headgear, they were a combination of a tall guitarist and vocalist who looked to be well over two meters tall, in contrast to the rather short-built drummer, and a bassist who, from their body shape, seemed to be male.
……No, wait a moment? Aren’t they the members of the Four Great Demon Dragons? Like, they’re totally Eingana-san, Frea-san and Fafnir-san…… W- What in the world are they doing? Rather, those three actually formed a three-person band!?

Serious-senpai : [This is just my guess, but doesn’t it seem like Fafnir was forced to join by the other two? The MC said they’re an up-and-coming band, so they probably formed after Harmonic Symphony ended……]
