'Now, now, how about some caterpillars?　There's a two-hour wait right now!　There's still a lot of time after this!''

Someone tell me it's a lie........
A two hour wait for a roasted bug?
It's funny how people from other territories and countries all look forward to it!　There's nothing like it!

This okonomiyaki on line right now should definitely be better.
I'm sure. For sure.

"Oops. Busy.
Oh, brother!

Busily manning the griddle is my first student, an aspiring chef boy.
I can say that I've become an expert at it because he doesn't stop working even though he notices me.

'Mmmm, smells good. I'm drooling.
'You're getting good at it. It looks very tasty.
Mr. White and Miss Wendy!
Dr. Wendy is beautiful! White is so cute!

The kids behind me, who are cutting caresses and mixing powder, stop their hands to notice the yukata and start making a lot of noise.

'See. Don't hold your hands!

He resumed his work when the boy assured him, but he still glanced at him as if he was curious.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on the subject.

'Oh, isn't the air conditioning function working?
Yeah. We're not wearing it now. If we're going to run it for three days straight, we're not going to have enough magic to keep it running.
Well I'm sorry. I wasn't doing it very efficiently.
'There's nothing wrong with that!　Because thanks to you, we are all grateful to the Mothers and everyone else in the city!　Come on, look, I'll make it special and delicious, so go ahead and eat it!
'Yeah. Then two pork balls and three pork balls for White in separate bowls, both with cheese topping.
Five pork balls!　And the cheese topping!
"'Yes!　Thank you!

How lively the kids behind him thank him in unison as the boy repeats his order.
The boy flips it over with a great spatula and slides it in front of the girl next to him, where the sauce and mayonnaise are sprinkled on top, and then the cheese is placed on top.

He waits until the cheese is gently melted, and then when it will melt in the residual heat, he hands it to her in a wooden box.
Oops, I think it's hot, isn't it?　I thought, but that wasn't the case as I used wood with poor thermal conductivity.

'Yes, sir. Sorry for the wait!　The cotton candy was delicious!　I'll be back to eat again!
Yeah. Thank you. I'm still free so you should come by and see me.

I take the okonomiyaki from the smiling girl, say good-bye to her so as not to interfere with the line, and leave.
You can find a lot of people in the marketplace who are very interested in eating okonomiyaki, but it's really not a good idea to walk around while eating.

"Oh, the bench is free.
Hm. Sit down. Eat. Dash!

We happen to find a freshly vacated bench and White quickly jumps over the chair and sits down, hurrying us to hurry up and head to the bench with Wendy.

'Hoi. Don't get burned.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, White. If you eat in a hurry, you'll spill it. There's a stain on my yukata!

Seeing White, who firmly clasped his hands together in the Japanese style before starting to eat, we decided to start eating too, even though Wendy was concerned about it.

'Mmmm ... the cheese is so rich. Not as rich as the sauce.''
Hmm. Hmmm.......... It's delicious. The meat is delicious too.
''Woo ... woo ... you can feel the sweetness of the caresses. Very tasty vegetables grown in an orphanage.

The sauce, the mayonnaise, the fat of the meat and the sweetness of the caresses, and the deliciousness and savouryness of the cheese each assert themselves, but they work in harmony to complement each other, and I can't stop eating them even though they're still hot.

''Fu........Fu........ Master. Ahn.''
Oh, thank you. Aww.

It was easier to eat thanks to the cooling of the food, and even though it was the same as the one I just had, it was definitely better than the okonomiyaki I just had.

''Fuu........in return.''
Thank you.

I also cut the okonomiyaki into bites and point it at Wendy, and I'm thrilled to see her eating it while ruffling her hair to keep her hair from sticking to the sauce.

''Mmmm ... thanks for the treat.''
White. It's on your cheeks, so don't move. Don't wipe it off with your sleeve.

I took White, who had finished eating slowly, probably because it was so hot, and asked him to take the garbage from the children's stall.

'So, have you decided where to go?'
'Yes, sir. We don't have much time, so I've already decided!　Shall we head east first?
East?　Do different districts have different offerings?
'Yes!　What do you think of the participatory playground stalls that have been solidified in the east area?

Participatory?　Let's see, goldfish scooping and yo-yo fishing...?
What else? A lottery?　You pay money for the act of drawing the lottery and get something as a bonus........
And the rest........... Is there some kind of otherworldliness to it?

Is that okay with White too?
Hmm. I'm fine.

White would eat more!　I thought you might say that, but I don't see why not. Well, then...

Okay. Let's go east then.
Yes! Hm!

So here we are, in the East!
If there's a lot of play, is there a lot of kids and families in the area?　I was expecting to see a lot of nasty people there.
No, of course there are families and kids, but the clientele is too broad.

'Now, now, who's up for the challenge?　I'm going to throw all eight balls up there at the same time so you can catch them before they hit the ground!　You can win prizes depending on the number of pieces!　The best record so far is five!
'If you win an arm wrestling match against me, I'll give you twice as much money as you bet!　The maximum latch is up to 100,000 Nol!
'Put a shot in, and if I move from this circle, you get a prize!　The prize is a golden ticket worth NOK 10,000 to be used at the stall!　Five thousand knolls a pop!　No magic and weapons allowed, but I don't mind enhanced skills!

...I see. So it's a power system.
Naturally, the use of skills seems to be prohibited in principle, with the exception of a few.

How about the ring toss?　You'll get a higher grade for the prizes as many times as you throw five and dive through them!

Yeah, some of them look normal.
Are the kids there for our purposes?

Hm. Lord. I want my balls.

I want to get my balls.

Is that it?
Yeah. I'll get them all.

Seriously I don't feel like I can only get two, or even one with my dominant hand, no matter how hard I try.
But White must be confident because he says so.

''Oh, you're a cute little girl!　Would you like to?
"Hm.
'Yes!　I'll take a thousand knolls then.
Okay. So what's the prize?

I ask the guy while I pay him.
White went straight to the back and used to advertise that a cute little challenger had appeared on the stage.

'First prize is a ticket for eight catches to buy a caterpillar roast without having to wait in line and 100 vouchers for a caterpillar roast!　We can use this thing after the festival. Plus this thing is awesome. The next time Neo-Catapillus comes out, you'll get a whole one that we bought for you!

No!
I don't want first class!
You don't need the caterpillar grilling system alone, but what a neo-caterpillar!
Phase two?　A mutation?　I'll kill you, insect world!

What's your second class?
Seven catches and a meal ticket for NOK 100,000.

It's good for the second class.
I'm very nostalgic.
Second class. I want second class... white... ah!
I can't believe you're already on the stage!
The gallery will be up before you know it, good luck and pretty!　and other voices were directed at White.

'Let's go then!
Hmm. I'm ready.

Then four men surround White, and at the same time eight balls are thrown right above him.
The size of the balls is about the size of a baseball.
If he were to catch them, it would seem impossible, but that's White. It's Yotchan with a lot of room to spare....

When White jumped to the same height as the balls, he grabbed a ball with his right hand and held it firmly in his left hand so it wouldn't fall off, and in the blink of an eye, he had five, or maybe six balls in both hands.
He even used his tail to catch the seventh one!
The last one lands on the ground first, and I catch it with my head beautifully and balance it... and then it falls off with a cologne.

'Ahhhh, so close!　I thought I'd see a perfect one, dude. But seven is great!　Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause!
Hmm. Satisfied.

White threw a ball from his tail with a hitch and held the seventh one, and then he handed the ball back to the man.

'Oh no, that was close!　So, here's a second-class meal voucher worth N100,000!
Hmm. Thank you.
'Come again!　You've been a good tout!

We left after White left, thinking it would be easy, when we saw a man, also a beastman, join in.

Hm. It's for you. It's for you.
White can keep it. Eat what you want.
Um... okay.
It was close, wasn't it? You could have taken it all out.
You dropped that last one on purpose, didn't you?
Yeah. I don't need Caterpillar.

I knew it.
A mistake like that, which is so unlike White. It just seems so unlikely.

Thanks.
Hmmm. White's very happy with this.

He takes my hand and puts it on top of White's head, and I stroke his head in anticipation.
Then his eyes narrow and his mouth loosens and he moves his own head, begging for more and more, so I continue until White is satisfied.

I'm going to try next time!

And Wendy looks for something that she could do herself.
There's not a bit of a quicksand that Wendy can do with good results....
I had no choice but to try the ring toss, but the record was 1 out of 5.

I guess it's possible to do that here too. You can't get it stuck on the base or.........
Wendy was protesting, but she was told that she couldn't do what she couldn't do....

'Ugh.........'

He placed a hand on Wendy's head and patted her comfortingly as she groaned in frustration, and with a subtle look of unconviction and happiness, he started to head home.

By the way, White.



The man who had planned the project of getting him out of the circle with a single blow was an adventurer, and he knew about White, or he was NG.
