The main street is bustling with people from early in the morning.

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

Although there are still two hours until the main festival starts, many people are already enjoying themselves before the main festival begins.

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

Today's participants are already dressed in white, and it is amazing to see the boulevard filled with white.

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

Tomorrow's participants are wearing clothes other than white, but overwhelmingly white.

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

I thought it was amazing, but the scenery looked a little bizarre.

Where can I get some colored powder dumplings?"

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

I can get the dye in exchange for the raffle ticket I drew yesterday at the place where I got the dye. It will be crowded, so let's go there now."

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

The druid was right, there was already a long line of people waiting to get colored powder dumplings.

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

It's just a hand-off, so it won't take long."

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

It seems so."

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

The line was moving fast.

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

It must not be that much trouble since all they have to do is switch the raffle tickets and dumplings.

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

I get in line at the end of the line, avoiding people.

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

It was the same with the dye.

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

There are so many people, even if you have to split it into two days.

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

'Yeah, next time I attend, it'll probably be for three days or something.'

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

It's possible."

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

As we are talking, our turn comes.

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

Mr. Druid handed the raffle tickets to the attendant and two bags were handed to him.

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

There are some changes to the festival, so please read the sign over there.

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

Change to the festival?

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

I looked in the direction the attendant pointed and saw a large sign.

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

A crowd of people gathered in front of it.

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

"Shall we take a look?"

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

I'm sorry," he said. What do you think the change is?"

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

There are a lot of people here, so that's what they're trying to do.

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

I see, there are indeed a lot of them.

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

There seemed to be a person in charge in front of the sign, and I was able to read the sign in a short time.

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

Well, about an hour before the start of the event, the treasure hunt began. We have hidden special colored and white dumplings, so let's look for them. Treasure hunt, another great idea.

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

Treasure hunt?

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

What does this have to do with the festival?

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

Then, as soon as the main festival was held, those dressed in black appeared. As they flee, hit them only with white dumplings, and good things will happen to you for a year."

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

The people in black run away.

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

It seems a bit more difficult than the festival I had heard about.

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

Why did they add a treasure hunt or something?"

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

I'm not sure. Let's just move on, since we're in the way."

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

I guess so."

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

The attendant leads us away from the front of the sign and we walk toward the less crowded area.

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

After turning off the main street and walking down a side street for a while, I finally find a place where I can walk slowly.

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

White dumplings. Are they in here?

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

I lifted the bag I was holding.

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

"Let's check it out."

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

He avoids the corner and checks inside.

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

There are 30 dumplings, large enough to be completely hidden in your hand.

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

They look similar, but not one of them is the same color.

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

They are all different colors. They are all different colors. There seems to be no white.

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

I hold a dumpling in my hand.

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

The dumplings are a little soft, so they don't seem to hurt when they hit me.

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

This one seems to have more greenish dumplings. A few red ones, but no white ones.

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

Does that mean white is only available on treasure hunts?"

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

I suppose that's what I meant."

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

After confirming the colors with the druid, we chose an open road and headed for the neighborhood watch stuffing station.

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

We are told that Lord Foronda's talk will take place in front of the Vigilante's Packing House.

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

As we come to a point where we can see the packing house, as expected, there are more people again.

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

I ask, "We still have some time left, would you prefer to stay here instead of waiting in that crowd?"

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 hotel. Can I take a little break in the corner?"

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

Oh, and by the way, it's the day of the main festival, so the crowd is even bigger than at the previous festival.

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

I thought there were a lot of people at the pre-festival, but not as many as today, right?"

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

Looking at the main street and the side streets leading from it.

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

It looks like there are more people again and it's hard to walk.

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

That's too many. I hope no one gets hurt.

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

Indeed, they appear to be a little stuck.

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

I wonder if he will be all right.

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

I'm glad I didn't bring Sola and the others.

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

Since the previous festival, I have been concerned about the number of people and have asked Sola and her family to stay at the inn.

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

I often bump into people just walking normally.

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

It would be a disaster if Sola and the others were crushed and injured.

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

When I said this, the druid told me, "I don't think they will get hurt," but I was worried.

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

Besides, "Do you want to go to the festival?" When I asked everyone, they all refused at once.

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

Maybe they don't like crowds.

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

As I leaned against the wall of a store and watched the street, I saw a few people rushing out of the packing house.

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

'What's going on?'

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

Huh?"　I knew it was Ivy and Druid. Good morning."

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

I hear a lazy voice behind me.

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

I turn around and see Lord Foronda approaching me, waving his hand.

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

What's wrong?"

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

The druid looks beyond Mr. Druid's gaze to see Lord Foronda.

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

'With that many people, there might have been some injured.

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

If he's injured, I hope it's nothing serious.

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

It's sad to see an injury on the day of the festival.

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

Speaking of which, about me..."

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've decided to do it on the last day of the festival. I'm sorry you had to come all this way."

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

It's changed.

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

Well, the festival has changed, so I guess it can't be helped.

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

No, it's all right. Is the last day a day of prayer?"

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

Yes, I'm giving the closing remarks.

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

That's a big role.

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

I'm sure the people here in the village are amazing. From the moment they realized that there were more people here than they had planned, they were thinking about how to disperse the people and reduce the number of injuries.

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

He tilts his head at the words of Lord Foronda.

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

Dispersed?

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

So it's a treasure hunt?"

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

Yes, so that people who are overcrowded around the main street will naturally flow to the side streets and so on, right?"

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

People would move slowly if they were looking for something, and people would naturally move away from the main street.

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

Then that's all you need to know.

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

What is the role of the people in black?

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

Um, what is the reason for the people in black to be there?"

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

I suppose their goal would be to keep people from concentrating in one place by having them run around."

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

Lord Foronda nodded happily at the druid's answer.

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

Too many people gathering together is not a good thing, you know.

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

Pippi pippi.

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

Are you ready?"

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

Suddenly, the sound of a flute and a man's voice echo through the village.

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

I shiver with fear.

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

The treasure hunt is about to begin!

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

When the man's voice ends, cheers go up from all over the village.

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

Now, Ivy, Druid. Let's go look for them."

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

Yeah, you're going?"

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

Lord Foronda is already looking around the area.

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

Why is he so motivated?

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

Doesn't it sound like fun?　Come on, let's go."

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

As Lord Foronda starts to walk away, Mr. Druid and I hurry to follow him.

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

Of course, I had planned to attend, so it was no problem, but I didn't expect Lord Foronda to take the initiative to find me.

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

We walked slowly down the street, looking for the white dumplings.

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

After a while, I hear a voice behind me.

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

I looked back and saw a large number of people dressed in white moving slowly toward us.

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

All of them are scurrying around because they are looking for dumplings.

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

It's kind of an odd sight, isn't it?"

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

Ivy, I'm afraid we're part of that one."

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

I am shocked by Mr. Druid's words.

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

but I look down at the clothes I am wearing.

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

White.

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

Mr. Druid and Lord Foronda laugh at my words.

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

At that moment, I heard a faint sound of human joy.

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

I looked and saw that they had found the dumplings in the place we had searched.

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

'They are such small boxes, aren't they?'

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

From a distance, I could see what the finder was holding.

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

It was a box large enough to hide in one's hand.

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

I am sure what it contained was a single dumpling.

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

It's frustrating," he said. I looked all over that place.

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

I laugh along with the druid at the seriously frustrated Lord Foronda.

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

'Now that we know what to look for, let's keep trying.
