A few days had passed since I went hunting across the river, and it was the day of the harvest festival.

On Harvest Festival Day, villagers gather in the square a little later than usual. There is no barter today, and everyone brings their own food and serves it for free. Participants who do not normally produce food work together by providing materials and labor for the event to create a harvest festival at the villagers' outpost.

Among them, it is still quite a burden for those who provide food, so it is customary to carry out a lot of hunting for this day by multiple people, or to store food with long consumption deadlines as a trick, and to do various measures to make the nostalgia less painful.

I wanted to serve cucumber as usual, but as usual, it would be a waste to offer a set with mayonnaise for free... I thought there was no trick, so I decided to change the flavor of cucumber for the festive version.

That's why I asked Miguel, Esther's dad, to help me make a new seasoning.

Despite Miguel's sudden request, he said, "Light ~, but a little? Like? based on my vague expression, it completed a satisfactory seasoning. After all, this is only possible if you ask a professional.

A new recipe in which cucumber is immersed in a container containing the seasonings for about half a day, and stuffed with bamboo skewers behaves this time. It is a pickled cucumber that I have seen in the stalls of the previous life.

... well, even though I've seen it in my previous life, I've never eaten it. At that time, I had a strong idea why I had to come to the festival and eat cucumbers, but now I think I should have eaten them once.

Take the cucumber that Miguel gave me overnight and give it to Esther and Nicola in a magical container made of earth. As soon as they put it in their mouths, they heard a pleasant sound of polypolis.

"Yeah, sour but refreshing taste! I'm sure you'll be happy with this!

Onii-chan, replace it.

I thought there was no problem because I tasted it earlier, but apparently they both passed. I think Miguel's cooking skills are no better than those of my proud father when it comes to finishing my recipe lightly.

I was satisfied with their reaction and put the lid of the container in my computer and put it in the item box.

When you get to the square, you can have a refill. Miguel, thank you for the condiments. "

This is Esther's house. I had Miguel make me some condiments, and here I was soaked in cucumber and put to bed overnight. From now on, as usual, the three of us, Esther and Nicolas, will pull the truck loaded with food and head to the square where the Harvest Festival will be held.

"I always get delicious vegetables, and I'm glad I owe you a little bit."

With that, Miguel smiles softly, and Stina teases her like a classic.

Oh, so you'll pay the rest of your debt to Esther?

"Eh, it's too early for Esther!

"Mom, don't say that again!

Tina shrugged her shoulders as her father and daughter raised their mouths to disagree. The stomach is so big that it is no wonder a child is born.

"Oh dear, well, let's all enjoy the festival. I'll see you later."

"Sure, you'd better be at home by now.

Estelle lowers her eyebrows worriedly, but Stina wraps her arms around Miguel next to her in the wind.

"I haven't had a date with my father in a long time. I'll be with my father all the time during the harvest."

"Really? Father."

"Eh, ah, ahh... I have to walk a little. Well, leave your mother to your father."

Miguel answered as she scratched her cheeks as if they were illuminated. They look young and look like newlyweds, but apparently the contents are still rough. Nicolas looked at the two of them and told them the story.

There may be a third person here. Speaking of which, what about my mom and dad? The couple aren't in the water right now.

I don't know. I think the couple is as good as the others. "

"... if you say so, today is that day. Please let me go home and talk to my mom and dad at lunch."

Yeah, I know. I think it's time to go. "

Nicolas' eyes looked at the Esther family, who continued to have a friendly conversation, and seemed to be mixed with a little loneliness. Having cut to the chase, I decided to start preparing for my departure.
