**Chapter 29: Spirit Festival Begins! Komi Accidentally Starts a Religion?!**
*(\~800 words)*
---
**\[Scene: Spirit Realm â Celestial Square]**
The sky shimmered as the **Spirit Festival** beganâa once-in-a-millennium event meant to renew the mana flow and celebrate harmony between spirits and mortals.
**Aeon (announcing):**
"Let all rejoice! And kindly don't punch anything this time, Milim."
**Milim:** "No promises."
**Ramiris (in a tiny yukata):** "I'm ready to eat everything!"
**Tadano (sweating):** "Is this... a magical fair? With food stalls? In the sky?"
**Rimuru (in priest robes against his will):** "Yes. And I've been assigned 'Cleric of Calm Vibes' by Aeon."
**Ciel:**
> "It suits you. You're 78% gelatinous serenity."

**\[Scene: Komi's Arrival]**
Komi descended into the plaza wearing a radiant white kimono embroidered with sakura and stardust. The crowd went **silent**âand then **prostrated.**
**Aeon (twitching):**
"Okay, okayâyes, bow if you likeâbut please remember: she is a guest, not a goddess."
**Spirit Attendee:** "She walked without making a sound. Her elegance healed my childhood trauma."
**Another:** "She pet a spirit cat and it *ascended.*"

**\[Backstage with Tadano & Rimuru]**
**Tadano (panicking):** "They're building a shrine. RIGHT NOW. I think that priestess just canonized her."
**Rimuru:** "Spirit bureaucracy moves faster than I thought. And that's terrifying."
**Ciel:**
> "Her divinity rating just hit 93%. If she smiles at someone, they may unlock a unique skill."
**Tadano:** "She sneezed earlier and a cherry blossom tree grew out of a rock!"
---
**\[Main Event â Komi's Silent Blessing Ceremony]**
Aeon, Rimuru, and the gang stood awkwardly behind Komi on a floating stage while a choir of wind spirits sang a hymn titled **"Serenity Untold."**
**Milim (whispering):** "When did they write that?!"
**Aeon:** "They said they *dreamed it* after Komi blinked twice yesterday."
**Komi (frozen, visibly flustered):** *looking pleadingly at Tadano*
**Tadano (takes the mic):**
"Um! Komi-san would like to thank everyone... for their kindness and understanding. She is very grateful! And she's not... technically a deity! Just... super polite."
**Crowd (in awe):**
"The Prophet speaksâŠ"
---
**\[Later â Quiet Garden]**
Komi and Tadano sit together, away from the crowd. The spirit lights gently float around them.
**Tadano:**
"Are you okay? That was a lot... even for an Isekai Festival."
**Komi (writes in her notebook):**
> *"I'm not used to people staring at me for that long. It's embarrassing..."*
**Tadano (smiling):**
"I think it's because you shine so quietly... people can't help but look."
Komi turns red. A nearby tree spontaneously blossoms.

**\[Cut to: Bureaucrat Spirits]**
**Spirit Clerk:**
"Petition to rename this realm 'The Whispering Realm of Komi.'"
**Senior Spirit:**
"Denied. ...Fine. Approved."
