There was some unexpected trouble, but the harvest festival, attended by me, Nan and Teak Wood, is finally coming up.

Before we gather at the front door of the inn and travel to the Spirit Forest, the venue, Mr. Sieg offers us a wrap wrapped in cloth.

"Mr. Sieg? What's this?"

……

"Huh? Is that lunch? Thanks!

……

Apparently, Mr. Sieg has been making lunch for the three of us.

The harvest festival takes place between 10: 00 a.m. and 3: 00 noon, and some people go back to the city to eat once, but the vast majority say they will prepare lunches.

Mr. Sieg seems to be a hobby in making sweets, and I've had them several times... they were all really carefully made and delicious, and I've always said that cooking would be better, so I'm looking forward to having them for lunch.

Give Mr. Sieg a good thank you, then pick up his lunch, and we'll all travel to the venue.

By the way, I hear Lilia and the others won't be attending the harvest festival. That said, although I no longer have to worry about the threat of saying Black Bear, the guards are in a state of devastation because of safety concerns, and they have solicited the will among the participants in the hunting tournament to look around the Spirit Forest, and Lilia and the others seem to be joining them.

When we reached near the exit of the city of Rigforesia, there was a large crowd of people there who seemed to be attending the harvest festival.

What's different from yesterday's hunting tournament is that there are so many women and children?

"You have a lot of kids,"

"Oh, because the primary purpose of the harvest festival is to make contact with the Spirit. Especially for the Elves, having a good outcome at this harvest festival is tantamount to being promised the future. Parents with children want to join my child."

For the Chengcheng Dynasty, the Elves are honored to say that they will be loved by the Spirit, and they say that if the results are achieved at the Harvest Festival, the way will be opened for them as spiritual demon guides.

The Spirit Demon Instructor seems to be a fairly privileged position among the Elves, and I guess I still want him to go that way as a parent.

While Ray was explaining it, it looks like Lilia applied for our participation, and the man in charge of the harvest festival, the elf, smiles softly and talks to us.

"The three participating parties will now be asked to listen to the explanation and some cautions. It'll take a little while..."

The elf man gave a welcoming look and approached us... his body floated shortly afterwards. No, they lifted it.

"… you, let your husband's time worth more than a thousand white gold coins be squandered, and so on! Will you tear me apart in this place now!!

"... Anima... get your hands off me. Where did you get out of the boil after that?

"Ha!"

Suddenly he shows up, grabs a man's chest barn and makes a noisy statement while lifting his body lightly with one hand... look at it and I order him to let go with a big sigh of breath.

Anima follows my words and immediately releases her hand, turning to me and saluting.

"Good morning, master! I'm on a city tour right now! In the meantime, I saw disrespect for your husband, so it's up to you to come here to 'eliminate' the disrespectful!

Really this kid...... instead of the knife he pulled out of already, he fights fast like a dynamite with fire...... yeah, I'll definitely say it hard later.

Even super theoretical, I decided to give instructions while holding my head to Anima's thoughts.

"Yeah. I'm fine here... you can go back to work"

"Ha! Anima, we're back on duty now!

"Yeah...... good luck"

"It's an unbearable word! Okay, now I am!

After stretching his spine sharply and responding as loudly as ever, Anima returns to the patrol with regular footsteps.

After I drop it off, I bow my head to a man who looks confused.

"Excuse me, Anima excuse me..."

"Oh, no... Cheng Cheng, are you the master of rumors..."

"Rumors?"

"Yes, your husband in front of her… I mean, when I say things that I despise you, I get cautioned that they beat me up instantly."

"... I'm so sorry for everything"

In just under half a day, how can you be alert at a level that turns your attention!! What the hell did you do, Anima!? Ray's sighing like he gave up something too...

Thanks to the sudden onslaught of Anima, I feel somewhat more tired before joining, while I hear the explanation from the man again.

The description of the harvest festival was not so difficult, and once asked, it was possible to understand the general contents.

Participants will be handed bags with similar performance to magic boxes, and it will be an easy harvest festival flow to say that they will put the harvested fruit in there.

Also, this bag was made by the Spirit, and it seems that it also has the function of discerning whether the fruit put inside is from this year, from last year, etc., so that injustice cannot be done.

And as a precaution, it is told that no harm will be done to the spiritual clan, that no garbage, etc. will be dumped in the forest, etc. If you break them, you may be forcibly disqualified along the way.

When a problem occurs after, if you grip the Demon Crystal on the bag hard, it seems to respond to the guards around the Spirit Forest immediately communicating their position.

After all, there are only a lot of children involved, and there seem to be a lot of safety measures in place around there.

"Well, Aoi, Hina. Here's some advice from an experienced person - maybe a little while into the woods, I think the Spirit will show up... because the Spirit is so timid. Don't come near me suddenly, but wait for the spirits to come near me. If you remember that, 'the two of us' will get good results."

"" Yes!

"Um... what about me?

"Kite... yeah. Properly, why don't you just do what you think?

Fia was advising Nan and Teakwood... I didn't have one!? Why!?

Miyama-kun.

"What is it? Mr. Ray."

"It's a fruit assortment from the" winning prize ", but the fresh flavour also deteriorates quickly. I suggest you turn it into a magic box early."

"... no, it's not like I won..."

I don't know what the joke is, but Mr. Ray's going to say it in such a way that I could possibly win.

No, no matter how much, I guess I'm no match for the spiritual demon mentor in the main house?

"Oh? Luna, what's that?

"I was' betting on the winner's prediction 'over there, and I've been' all-in 'on Miyama's salary for last month"

"... buy my share too"

"I'm in awe"

"Hey... Mr. Lilia? Mr. Lunamaria?"

Looking at the wooden plaque that Mr. Lunamaria had in his hand at some point, Lilia asks, what a joy it seems that Mr. Lunamaria has taken part in the Harvest Festival bet.

No, it's nothing. That's good, but why are you betting on me!?

"Ah, Mr. Luna. Me, too, please."

"Me too!

……

"To Nan to Teakwood!? And how many Siegs are taking out most of their money?!?

I have no idea why this happened, but everyone starts betting on me.

No, no, anything is too unscrupulous!?

Dear Mother, Father - The harvest festival has finally begun and I'm going to join the festival too... I don't know why that happened, but Lilia and the others made me a candidate for victory!?
