I squint at the sunlight coming in through the window.

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

The sun seems to be very high in the sky.

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

Could it be that I overslept?

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

For that matter, hmm?"

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

I feel less tired than usual for having slept longer than usual.

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

Well, it was a fun but tough two days.

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

I had no idea that the festival in the village of Hatahi would be so physically demanding.

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

I thought I could afford it because all I had to do was dance. ......

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

The third and fourth days were days of dancing to celebrate the coming of spring.

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

I was allowed to join the main street circle from time to time and enjoyed myself to the fullest.

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

Since there was only one type of dance, it was not difficult once I learned it.

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

However, it was difficult to match the dances to the music as the music speeded up and slowed down.

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

On the fourth day, we danced the same way, but a different music and dance were prepared for the fourth day.

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

The music was faster and lighter than on the third day, and the movements were a little more intense.

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

I also enjoyed the dance more than the third day, as I twirled and twirled with the dancers in front of and behind me, joining hands with them.

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

But the dancing time was too long!

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

With breaks, the total time was more than 10 hours in two days.

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

I enjoyed it so much that I joined in whenever I was invited, and by the afternoon of the fourth day, I was quite exhausted.

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

That's why I went to bed early last night.

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

What time is it now?"

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

I get up on the bed and stretch.

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

It feels good to lift my arms up and stretch my back.

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

Good morning. It's eleven o'clock."

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

Mr. Druid, who was sitting on a chair provided in the room and was apparently playing with Sora, answered me.

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

When I looked at him, I saw Flem on top of his head.

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

I'm sorry, I overslept. Good morning, everyone."

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

Nyaun."

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

Tekkiryu~!"

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

I worked too hard yesterday. I can't blame you. Just, Ivy."

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

Tomorrow is the big day of the festival.　Aren't you tired?"

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

It was.

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

Yesterday was still the pre-festival.

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

Tomorrow is the main festival, and the colored powder dumplings are to be smashed against each other.

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

If you take it easy today, you'll be fine.

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

I'm glad to hear that," he said. Well, tomorrow I won't need as much energy as I did yesterday."

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

Is that so?"

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

To bump into each other?

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

I'm not trying to run away, I'm just trying to hit the person in front of me with the dumplings. It's easier than yesterday."

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

I see. Good."

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

I get out of bed, grab my clothes and head to the bathroom.

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

I wash my face, brush my teeth and change my clothes.

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

Come to think of it, I haven't heard any details about the main festival.

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

Druid, do you have any rules for tomorrow?

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

The number of dumplings you will receive is 30, and when all the dumplings are gone, you're done. You can hit anyone you want, but you must choose a color that is not attached to the dumplings as much as possible. The time is from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

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

Is there a specific time?

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

Thirty pieces in two hours?

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

It doesn't sound like you need that much, but if you bump it, you're done.

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

It looks easy, but it's a lot of work to pick out the colors and bump them. It's so easy, but it's pretty hard to pick a color and bump it, because someone else can put it on you right away.

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

Oh, I see.

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

Well, it's not absolutely certain that they will be different colors. It is just said that the more different colors you can put on, the happier you will be. Everyone's pretty desperate, it's amazing."

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

Somehow I can picture a scene of desperation.

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

There was one person who was so determined not to take a break during the dance.

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

Come to think of it, I wonder what happened to that person in the end.

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

Also, it seems that since there were too many people participating in the festival, they decided to separate those who participate on the first day from those who participate on the second day by lottery.

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

I see."

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

Yeah, I heard there were twice as many people there as the last time I was there.

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

Double?　Well, it's such a great crowd."

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

Everywhere you walk, there are people, people, people.

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

I've gotten used to it, but I'm still overwhelmed by the sheer number of people.

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

I said, "Yes, I've drawn lots for you."

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

It was the first day of the event. You said you wanted to hear what the Lords of Foronda had to say, so I was just in time.

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. If I'm going to go to all this trouble, I'd like to hear what you have to say and smash some dumplings!

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

Maybe it's easy because not many people go to hit dumplings to Lord Foronda."

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

Because he's a nobleman?"

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

Well, yes."

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

Goo~.

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

Oh, I'm so hungry.

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

I'm skipping breakfast. Shall we have lunch?"

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

Yes," he said. Oh, you're watching again, aren't you?

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

Yeah?"　Oh, yeah."

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

As I am about to call out to everyone, Sol comes into view looking out the window.

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

I feel somewhat uneasy at the sight of him.

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

He says, "Somewhere ...... no, it's nothing. I'm going to go eat a little food, everyone."

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

Speaking of which, I think it's time to go to the dump and pick up some potions and magic items.

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

There are just too many people.

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

What's up?"

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

I thought I'd go to the dump.

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

I prepared myself with all the magic bags I had, but I'm starting to feel a little nervous."

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

We prepared to fill all the magic bags we had with potions and magic items to last for about a week, because we knew we would not be able to go to the dumping ground if there were too many people.

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

However, because people arrived earlier than expected, we were unable to go to the dump site before the scheduled date.

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

Sola and Flem are still okay, but there is a possibility that Sol's food will run out.

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

I want to go to the dump before they run out.

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

It's difficult. There are people everywhere.

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

I know."

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

Come to think of it, why did we come down to the inn's dining room when we were supposed to make lunch?

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

The inn basically doesn't serve lunch, right?

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

Druid. Don't you cook lunch?"

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

That said, didn't I share some of my beef bowl with Mr. Chickal before?"

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

Oh, I remember when that happened.

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

I remember I ran into him eating rice and he surprised me, saw the beef bowl and begged me to share.

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

You were so excited that you shared some with me for a taste.

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

I told you how to make it then, didn't I?"

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

I'm not sure. It wasn't that difficult, so I gave you a simple verbal explanation.

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

Oh, that's how he made it. He asked me to give him a taste when I saw him this morning.

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

That's great.

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

Even though it is not difficult, cooking rice is a bit tricky.

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

Good morning. I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll finish it right away, so please sit in the chair and wait for me."

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

Perhaps sensing our presence, Mr. Chikkar appeared in the dining room.

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

Good morning."

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

I returned the greeting and immediately went back to the kitchen.

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

After a while, a nice aroma wafted through the air, stimulating my appetite.

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

Ugh, this aroma is tough when you're hungry."

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

My stomach hasn't stopped growling since a while ago.

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

I'm sorry to keep you waiting," he said. Cooking 'kome' was quite difficult. If I used the wrong amount of water, it turned into a sludge.

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

That must have been a lot of water.

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

Haha. I actually weighed it wrong and put in three times as much water as I had been taught. I was surprised when I opened the lid of the pot. It was so sludgy.

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

That was delicious," he said. I recommend adding salt to season it, and also ponzu (Japanese sauce made from soy sauce and citrus juice) and soy sauce to season it.

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

I didn't know that. I tried it, but it didn't taste or look right. So I threw it away.

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

Oh, what a waste.

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

It's good for digestion, so I recommend it when you lose appetite due to fever.

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

Oh, I see. What else?　Can't I just put a garnish on top?"

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

I think it's good. It would go well with meat seasoned a little too strongly.

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

I'll give it a try next time I fail."

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

Is it supposed to fail?

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

It seems a little different, but I guess I'm not used to eating it.

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

Please go ahead. I hope it tastes similar."

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

Bon appétit."

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

I take a bite of the beef bowl.

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

It tastes good, just a little too rich.

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

If I keep eating it, I am sure it is too rich for my taste buds.

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

I tell Mr. Chikkar what I feel together with the druid.

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

Thank you. I'm going to finish it while Mr. Druid and Ivy are here and serve it for dinner.

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

Somehow the rice is spreading a little bit.

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

Well, that's a good thing.
