Today is the second day of the pre-festival.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The second day is the same as yesterday, a day to buy clothes for the main festival and get dyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And on the third and fourth days of the pre-festival, everyone dances on the main street to celebrate the coming of spring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I heard the story, I was surprised that it was not the main festival.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Somehow, I felt that dancing together was the best part of the festival.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The fifth day, the last day of the pre-festival, was a rest day for the main festival the next day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you going to do today?　Maybe we could go eat at one of the food stalls?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What? In here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look out the window.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's another great crowd today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look next door and see Sol staring blankly out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sol, you've been looking outside a lot lately, haven't you?　Want to go play?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess silence means you don't want to go play?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I gently stroke his head, he pulls and shakes pleasantly and presses his body against my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a signal for more petting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sol, don't get too attached to the window. If they see you, it could get you in trouble."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He sure is a great guy. Should we stop going outside?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, but I'm curious about that stall I saw yesterday."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I saw this stewed obitsune at a food stall near the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thinly sliced obitsune meat and white vegetables were stewed together in a delicious way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It had a distinctive aroma that attracted me when I passed by the stall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It sure looked delicious, didn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I checked the stall I was interested in through the window, there was still a long line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wondered if I should go to that one or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It said it was only for the festival.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would wait if I could eat it after the festival was over, but it said it was only for the festival.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid said he didn't know if that was true or not, but if it was true, I wouldn't be able to eat it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ppppp~'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

TERRY~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola and Flem's cries move my gaze from looking outside to inside the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The two animals curl up on the bed, rolling to the right and then to the left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rolling to the right again, then to the left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you doing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now, are you busy?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meanwhile, the rolling and rolling continues.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel looked at the two animals and fell asleep with his back to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was as if he couldn't keep up with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, don't play with them too much, Sola and Flem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"P-p-p-p-please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

TERU~RYU~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I haven't been able to go to the forest for about a week now, so maybe I'm not busy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As more and more people began to gather, more than could fit in the plaza, more and more adventurers began to pitch their tents in the forest and sleep in them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By that time, animals, obitsune and other weak demons were out of sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now what do we do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I still want some!　Can I go buy some?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. Once that's decided, let's get going.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure I want to go back to the same place. That word "festival only" is no good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I see that thing, I get somewhat impatient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't stop looking at that thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm going shopping for a while. Be good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

TERU-ryu~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyan~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel is going to sleep now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I leave the room and close the lock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did you close the second one too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, I'm fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised to see the door lock on my first day at the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There were two locks on the door, where normally there should have been one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I asked Mr. Chikkar about it, he told me that normally one key is enough, but when the number of people starts to increase during the festival, he would like me to use two keys.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This seems to be a countermeasure against crimes targeting festival-goers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Incidentally, the alarm sounds when the second key is opened with a key other than the one that fits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had heard about this, but yesterday I heard this alarm sounding at some inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised because it was quite loud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I left the inn and headed for the food stall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I held hands with the druid to keep him close, but there were more people there than yesterday.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was swept away a little by the wave of people, but we managed to arrive at the stall we wanted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I saw from above that there were quite a few people lined up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it is. But it still smells good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid and I get in line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The clothes are available for purchase until today, so the people buying are amazing, but so are the shopkeepers selling them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at the vendors, thinking how powerful they are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I slowly advance, I see the sign for the stall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sign reads, "Stewed obitsune, only available during the festival. Due to the crowds, it will be served a little lukewarm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Welcome."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When my turn came to stand in front of the stall, I was greeted by a cheerful voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Stewed obitsune for three.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The turnover at the stall seems to be reasonably good, as the food is simply stewed and placed in containers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sounds delicious, I'm looking forward to it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh," he said. Owner, are you sure this stew is only for the festival?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it is. Normally, I'm an arms dealer, so I don't have anything to do with cooking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　An arms dealer?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. This stew is a specialty of my father, who used to be a bar owner. I wanted to revive it for the festival period.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if the resurrection means that your father is dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Was he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. Here you go. It tastes better when it's hot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After receiving the stew from the owner, we returned to the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We managed to get through the crowd and arrived at the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Holding food makes me nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure. I'm glad I didn't spill it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put my hand on the door of the inn and go inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, two beautifully dressed men were talking with Mr. Chikkar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The atmosphere was not good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't like it. Let's get the hell up there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey. You're the ones staying at this inn, aren't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am surprised at the arrogant attitude of the men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid quickly stood between me and the men and hid me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Don't bother our guests!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hear Mr. Chikkar's impatient voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Was he still struggling?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Shut up and shut up. Hey, vacate your rooms immediately. This is an order from the nobility."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow, what a great group of people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are no nobles or non-nobles among the festival goers. This is the rule of the festival.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't care about that. You can't even get us a room, so we'll get one ourselves. That's all there is to it. What are you doing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are we going to do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I gently look at the druid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is angry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's mad as hell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But he's a nobleman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sounds like fun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think I've heard this voice somewhere before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you trying to tell us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I gently turn my head from Mr. Druid's back and look at the person whose voice is bothering me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What, Lord Foronda?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why are you here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I came to visit a friend of mine, and I saw some foolish people acting foolishly, so I came to crush ...... them and stop them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know why, I get chills even though I'm laughing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Besides, I thought I heard some disturbing words .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did he come to see me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the fax I sent to Mr. Seiseluk, I mentioned that I was staying at an inn called Cocolon, so it is not surprising that Lord Foronda knows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you know him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid asks in a whisper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I nod in reply and tell him, "I am the Lord of Foronda.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looks surprised at the answer and looks at Lord Foronda.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Foolish, you are!　You know who we are!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I don't know. I am not interested.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Haha, Lord Foronda's eyes are scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We are the Mitche family, registered in King's Landing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow, that's a lot of prestige, but I'm not sure if it's safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're looking pretty angry right in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's like, "Oh. Was it the Mitche family? Um, fallen."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What the hell?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I recall, you incurred the wrath of the royal family when you tried to get close to them, didn't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow - Lord Foronda looks like fun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How did you know about that?　You can read about it at ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A friend of mine was a victim of the problems you people caused.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"　A friend?　Is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The faces of the two noble men turned blue all at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, I mean my acquaintance, the young lady over there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Eh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'My victim, a close friend of mine, was also selfish enough to want to meet your daughter there. Come to think of it, it seems that you ordered me and my close friend to 'make room' for the young lady who was keeping an eye on you. ...... I bet it would be a lot of fun to tell my close friends about it, wouldn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hiccup."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The complexion of the two noble men is passing blue and turning a bad color.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They look like they are about to collapse, but are they okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We were just checking to see if there were any rooms available!　Excuse me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Two noble men roll out of the inn in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What a disgrace.
