Spirit Festival.

It is the liturgy of the Spirit People once a year to offer their prayers of gratitude to the Spirits.

"That under the deep grace of the Great Spirit his blessings and protections shall remain for ever on the way of our Spirit people -"

As the harsh atmosphere dominates the surrounding area, three celebrations are dedicated to the Spirit: Elf, Dwarf and Sildra, Dominic and Earthra, the oldest of the Beasts.

At the same time, on this day, almost all the spiritual people gathered, with the exception of the minimum security, were praying under the great tree in which Druas dwelt.

When Sildra and the others finish celebrating, the three Orphias, Alma and Sarah, feathering their ritual outfits, dance the dance dedicated to the Spirit.

"Beautiful..."

That was a very fantastic sight.

Next to Rio watching the three dances with a serious look, Latifah was blurry in love with the mysterious sight.

Drewas also looks to enjoy the dance of the three of them.

"O ye all! I was able to carry out the Spirit Festival safely this year. This is also because of the daily cooperation of all and the noble prayer of the Spirit. Keep thanking the Yume Spirits."

At the end of the dance of devotion to the Spirit, Sildra invokes the Spirit's people in a harsh tone.

He was never speaking out loud, but his voice was echoing all around him because he was being amplified by spiritual art.

"Then we shall continue to perform the liturgy of blessings under the protection of Lord Drewas"

Latifah shook his body, freaking out at the voice.

Normally, the children of the Spirit People who have reached a certain age, at the Spirit Festival, are taught to receive Spirit blessings from Druas, along with a brief introduction.

Latifah had already passed that age, but it had been arranged beforehand that he would receive the blessing of Druas on this occasion, as he had joined him from the way inside.

It should be noted that obtaining the blessing of Drewas will slightly improve the total quantity of odds and the suitability of spirituality, although not as much as the spiritual covenant, and that the children will master spirituality with the blessing of Drewas.

Three people, Sildra, Dominic, and Earthra, make brief introductions to the children of the Spirit people, and the children referred go to Druas one after the other.

On the foreheads of the children who came under themselves, a slight light enveloped the children's bodies as Drewas gave them a blessed kiss.

"- There are also new associates who have joined us since last year. Latifah, son of the Fox Beast Man."

Lastly, Latifah's name was called, and Latifah, whose name was called, also came close to Drewas.

Rio laughed bitterly at Latifah, who was standing upright in a solidified state, whether he was nervous to receive the gaze of the countless spiritual people.

Eventually, when Drewas kisses the blessing, the Latifah's body also lights a pale light.

"And I would also like to introduce you on this occasion, Mitsujin, who rescued Latifah. He rescued her as a slave by the nobility of a human race, but of the same human race, and brought her to my home. In doing so, our misconceptions led us to cause less inconvenience, but he also owes me all that water."

Where Drewas gave Latifah a blessing kiss, Sildra opened up to make an introduction to the last one.

Yes, Latifah was not the only one who had decided to be introduced on this occasion.

It was decided in advance that Rio would also be introduced.

"Let me introduce you. He's Latifah's, and our benefactor, Lord Rio."

Rio bowed his head deeply as he climbed onto the altar at the root of the great tree to coincide with Sildra's introduction.

Then, thanks to Rio, Sildra points out that a new recipe has been brought to the Spirit People, to compliment them on their achievements.

Furthermore, when Rio told him that he was the one who made the covenant with the quasi-high spirits, the spiritual people went out of their way.

"Be quiet. There is no mistake in the fact that the human Spirit is asleep in Lord Rio more than Lord Drewas has confirmed. We cannot disdain you enough to make a covenant with the Quasi-high Spirit. So it was decided to accept Lord Rio as an ally of our Spirit people. Providing Blessings to Lord Drewas as a sign of this."

When Sildra told him in a harsh but good voice, there was silence all around him.

"Hehe, nice to meet you. Little hero of the human race."

In such a solemn atmosphere, Drewas giggles and giggles a blessed kiss on Rio's forehead.

After a strong light lit Rio's body, the people of the Spirit applauded simultaneously as a slight silence broke out.

"Now the ceremony is over! It's a feast! Get back and get ready!

When the applause began to stop, Dominic marked the end of the ceremony so as to break the harsh air.

After this, it is also a lesson to exchange Druas for a feast inside, and Dominic's words make the air of the Spirit's people begin to exalt for the feast as well.

At once, the noisy atmosphere makes Sildra smile bitterly and announce her transition to preparing for the feast.

"Um, that's why. Let's do a great job of welcoming our new brethren."

Inspired by the words of Sildra, the Spirit people scattered beautifully to return inside.

"Lord Rio, I have no words of gratitude for accepting our request as if we had returned our hands."

Then, as the surrounding area was getting noisy, that's what Sildra said and she's bowing her head deeply to Rio.

"No, because it wasn't a bad story for me either"

And, smiling thinly, Rio shook his head (wearing it).

How did Rio decide to become an ally of the Spirit people in the first place?

That's because after the day Rio met Drewas, Arsla carried things handily and quickly.

She told the elders the story of a quasi-high spiritual abode in Rio, and made an effort to make Rio an ally of the spiritual people.

What Earthra was trying to aim for was also thinly swallowed up by Rio.

Until now, Rio has been allowed to live in this house exceptionally as a guest, despite being a human race.

But after Rio eventually left Latifah behind and left this place, it was different to talk about whether or not he would be allowed to go inside again.

It is indeed a friendly circumstance for them that Rio is a benefactor to the Spirit people, but it is also an element that cannot be overlooked that Rio is as human as it is.

Inviting Rio, a heterogeneous and outsider, so easily into the interior over and over again was not a very favourable situation for the operation of the interior.

But if Rio is to be treated as an ally of the Spirit's people, the story changes.

It will be acceptable to enter again once you have left the interior, and it will also be easier for Rio and Latifah to reunite.

It was the extraction of Earthra in anticipation of it.

"It would help if you could say that. Those who have previously disbelieved in Lord Rio will have dispelled that suspicion only today. In the future, let me promise in my name, one of the oldest, that the blood of Lord Rio will be treated as our blood."

And, with a serious face, Sildra makes a pledge.

"Thank you. Let us swear by the name of Latifah that I will not betray the Spirit's people, either."

And Rio answered as well.

With a thin smile on their faces, the two exchanged stiff handshakes.

Then, back inside, the Spirit Festival feast soon began.

The squares in every part of the house are lined with narrow places and dishes, with the cup in one hand and the spiritual people ridiculing.

"Ha ha! Rio's kid, that's a good drink in there!

And Dominic, who was drinking with Rio, said with a lavish laugh.

"Yes, all of the spiritual people are really wonderful drinks"

Rio stared at the cup, drinking-up and emptying, as if he had fallen in love.

There are many kinds of liquor served on the feast, but they are all so beautiful that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are more than super first-class liquor that the human race drinks.

"Naturally! Only real booze can make it in us! You shouldn't be drunk like human liquor!

Dominic laughs in a good mood, praised for the booze they make.

"Hmm, this is the spirit liquor that the Spirit People keep! Have a drink."

When I took out the Mithrill carafe and glass, Dominic poured the liquor and offered it to Rio.

"This is..."

The moment I poured the liquor into the glass, the aromatic fragrance irritated Rio's nose, illusory that he was drunk just because of the scent.

As he carried the glass to his mouth so that it was attracted to the drooling liquid, Rio included its contents in his mouth.

Moments, shocks rush through Rio's entire body.

The liquor disappeared as if it had evaporated the moment it was contained in my mouth.

No, the booze did pass Rio's throat.

But I drank it in a flash with too much flavor.

The taste was very high, yet easy to drink, and just the right superb taste for the name of spiritual liquor.

"What do you think? It contains my sap."

And, saying that from the side, Drewas appeared with the cup in one hand.

"Gaha, gaha"

Unexpectedly, Rio swallows.

"Shit, what, already. What's the sudden matter?

With an annoying look on his face, Drewas glanced lightly at Rio.

"Ju, is that sap?

Ask Drewas, who said plainly that part of himself was an ingredient, whether it was true or not.

"That's right. You said spiritual liquor. It is named the spirit liquor because it makes the liquid of the tree in my body, which is the spirit, into ingredients. My sap can also be an ingredient for psychotropic drugs."

And Drewas said with a good look on his face.

"I see..."

Certainly there is no more liquor worthy of the word supreme. I thought it would be a good medicine if it were an ingredient that could produce so much alcohol.

"And Rio is an alcoholic. It's like a dwarf to be able to drink that drink properly."

"Absolutely. It's a shame to keep you human."

Dominic agrees with Drewas, who said as impressed, that he has a flat face even after drinking an extraordinary amount of alcohol.

"That's definitely a strong alcohol. And yet I'm afraid I'm going to drink it."

With some awe, Rio stared at the newly poured glass of spirit liquor.

"It would. Normally, that happens."

And, with some delightful look on his face, Drewas moves his gaze to the rear of Rio.

Rio followed it.

"Eh."

Then I saw Aufia, blushing so much that I could tell from the side that she was drunk, come to Rio and the others in a fluttering foothold.

"Riohima, are you crazy about it?

Sitting next to Rio, Pepe, as Rio was deprived of consciousness by the unthinkable figure from her normal, Orfia said such a thing in a lullaby that would not turn.

"Uh, Mr. Orfia. Isn't that a little too much to drink?

With a pulling grin, for now, Rio tried to throw a word to guide Orfia through himself.

"Ah, Ra, Raj, it's a shame. Konnya's, not really."

It won't look all right at all, and Rio puts a penetration inside.

Then, for some reason, Aufia leaned over to stick to Rio.

"More than a shabby thing, Riohi-chan! How long have you been talking so hard?

"Uh, what's a tough way to talk?

"So you can talk to him like you're at a distance from him."

Contrary to his usual decoy and slightly natural image, Aufia stares at Rio with a strangely sitting eye.

Rio was obscured by the force that made him say whether or not he was there.

"Latifah, you're very close. You could have been one, but Rio, you're very close. You can be one. Mahieh. It's been over a year since I've been here."

I had trouble handling the drunk and hot talking orpheus, trying to send my gaze to the people around me to ask for help, but at some point there was no one around Rio.

(Hey!)

With an invincible grin on his faraway winding, he realizes that Dominic and Drewas are watching about Rio, and Rio puts a penetration in his heart.

To such a place of Rio and Aufia, there was only one person, coming close.

It's Sarah.

"Ah, already! If you go to Orpheus, Master Rio will annoy you."

That said, emptying the cup in my hand, Sarah sat next to Rio softly, too.

At first glance, Sarah seemed well conscious, but at this point Rio's vigilance sensors were sounding the maximum alarm.

It's called Orphea, it's called Sarah, and this is not how I get along so well with Rio as I actively try to interact.

We may have a conversation with Latifah as the starting point, but without Latifah, it's not the time to talk amicably.

Rather than being a friend, he's close to facial acquaintance, and Rio has been dealing with the two so that he feels such a distance.

Even so, Sarah, like Aufia, is sticking to Rio to snuggle.

"But isn't Master Rio nice, too? With the blessing of Drewas, we want to be better friends."

Sarah has looked up to Rio with some seemingly unfocused eyes.

"Damn it. Sarahi's right, Risu."

As I agree with that, Aufia pulled Rio's arm from the other side.

(How did this happen?

For some reason, Rio lets the beautiful girls, high among the people of the Spirit: the High Elf and the Silver Wolf Beast, serve in both hands.

From the men around us, he could be willing to kill, but from the person at the time, he was in a very uncomfortable condition.

"Mmm, Aufia, your sister and Sarah are sloppy!

Latifah hugged me from behind Rio so I could chase him there.

"Latifah, are you drunk too..."

Turning his face towards Latifah, who moved his neck and kept his face close to close range, the sweet aroma of spiritual liquor drifted slightly from his mouth.

Far rear I can see Earthra laughing happily.

"Damn, just because it's delicious, all three of us drink too much spirit liquor"

And there's another girl who seems shuddered and has spoken to Rio with some pleasant voice.

"Good evening. May I join you?

It was Alma.

"Yeah. Apparently Mr. Alma isn't drunk yet"

When their gaze crossed and they greeted each other lightly, with a vial of liquor in one hand, Alma sat in the front of Rio.

"Dwarves are a liquor resistant species."

Alma said in a slight light.

"Almahy's cute ~"

Then Aufia hugs Alma.

"Wow, Sister Aufia. It's ticklish."

Alma is still embraced, albeit illuminated.

"Old Alma says she's been chasing after us with a crybaby, but these days she's totally grown up and misses Orfia. I used to call you" sister "instead of" sister, "and..."

"Wow, Sister Sarah! What are you talking about!? I'm a little too drunk!

Stop the way Alma panicked Sarah tried to tell the old story.

"I'd love to hear Alma's old story, too! Right, brother?

Latifah said, looking forward to the panicking Alma thing.

"Right."

Rio seems a little happy to endorse such Latifah's words.

"Ri, to Master Rio...... Yes, now is the time to make out with Master Rio!

and Alma turned to Sarah and Orfia for a far-flung truce agreement.

"Damn it! Wawahi became more close to Master Rio!

Plus the orpheus gets on.

Though drunk, his attitude towards complaining about something has been passed on to Rio as well.

"With myself...?

Rio gave a slightly indelible look.

"Yes, Latifah's brother is the same as our brother. I've always wanted to get along. But if Master Rio was estranged or couldn't quite grasp the trigger, anyway, we thought we'd get along proactively. I'm not gonna let you say no, am I?

Sarah explains the situation in some serious atmosphere, even though she's drunk with Rio like that.

Although I'm laughing, there was some compelling force that wouldn't allow me to escape.

Then a laugh leaked out of Rio's mouth like he didn't think.

"Hey, what's wrong?

Sarah turned red in her face and asked Rio, either because of her drunkenness or because of the embarrassment of telling her she wanted to get along with her face.

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't laugh because I was crazy. I'm glad Latifah was blessed with someone like you. It's a laugh that comes from joy."

"Oh, really? Fine then..."

I took Rio's gaze from the front and, to the words, Sarah nodded somewhere shy.

"With that said, you didn't thank me properly. Thank you so much for getting along with Sarah, Orfia, Alma and Latifah."

And, smiling, Rio thanked him.

"Yes, no. Because it's natural."

"I will."

"Sarah, sister is right."

And, as I learned to embarrass myself somewhere, the three of them said.

"And if it's okay with me, treat me as a friend."

With a slightly illuminating grin, Rio lowers his head lightly.

"Yes!

The three replied with great pleasure to the words.

Though I had borrowed the booze momentum, the feeling I was trying to get along with Rio seems real.

"Hehe, now we're all finally friends!

And as I held him to Rio, Latifah said happily.

"Ha. Sounds like you got it all together. Hey, I brought you some food and booze. Now I need you to get closer."

Dominic came laughing luxuriously there.

There was also Earthra right behind us.

"After all, you guys were involved in one..."

"Ho, looks like it worked out the way I imagined."

And Earthra said with a good grin.

"Grandpa Dominic. What do you want me to do now?

Looking at the massive amount of food and liquor offered, Alma asks in wonder.

"Mm-hmm. You're a dwarf, too, so we'll just have to drink and eat and laugh together."

And Dominic said with a laugh that was lavish but didn't offend people.

"Don't bracket me as that kind of brain-muscled race"

Alma slaps it with a cold gaze.

"Guh. Damn, this guy. What do you say, Rio kid? He's also a little bit of a joke, but he's got a good amount of equipment, and this makes him pretty cute. Because of this, I became an ally of the Spirit people, and this is where I try to marry my wife from the Spirit people."

Dominic mentioned that with a sunny grin.

Speaking of which, I felt like I was saying that when I first met him, Rio remembered.

(How serious are you... Ma, you must be kidding me)

"Bullshit, don't say anything stupid!

It was Rio with a grin to recieve Dominic's words, but Alma protests with a bright red face.

"That's right. You should respect your will."

And, Rio also defends her as if she was a little frightened.

"Why not? Doesn't Alma care about Rio's kid?

"Yes, no, it's not that Master Rio doesn't like it... We're still young, and there's a little more procedure..."

Alma answers weirdly and seriously while blushing.

"Armahi is cute. Then I'll be Lady Rio's daughter-in-law."

And Orphea said as she stroked her head, looking like she couldn't help but be cute about Alma like that.

"Ho ho. You can't lose this, Latifah. And Sarah."

"Yeah!"

"Duh, how can you include me there too!?

Sarah protested reddening her face against Latifah, who replies honestly.

"Ha. Get all four of them and marry Rio's boys. You're polygamous in spirits."

Dominic, with the spirit liquor reddened with one hand, laughs raggedly and stands up.

"You're getting genuinely drunk. This old man..."

Send Alma a a frightened gaze at Dominic like that.

It was a really happy time.

Since when has it been so funny?

Rio was laughing too if he noticed.

And so the laugher, and the noise, and the entertainer appeared, and when he realized, most of the people of the Spirit in the square were drunk.

Easily beside Rio sleeps Latifah, Sarah, Orfia and even Alma, who is resistant to alcohol.

Alma was drinking a strong drink to distract her from her embarrassment.

"Mm-hmm. That's pretty miserable."

Arsla has spoken to Rio with a bitter smile.

"If that's what you think, help me a little faster..."

He's blushing like a little drunk, but Rio replied without precipitation.

"Wow, Lord Rio seemed to have some fun sometime. Spirituality can help you recover from drunkenness and other illnesses quickly, but you can't imitate that innocently in a celebratory seat. We all really enjoyed ourselves and got drunk. I thought Lord Rio could have taken off his wings a little bit more.

"No, because I enjoyed it enough"

Returning a bitter smile powerless to Earthra, who spoke pleasantly, Rio shifted his gaze to Latifah, who was happily asleep.

When I met Rio I was a latifa who was malnourished and galloping, but now I'm getting to do what I deserve the year after my second growing season.

Traces of abuse that were in the body have also disappeared completely thanks to Elf's medication.

Appearance isn't the only thing that's gotten better.

Latifah now has become an active girl who often laughs and talks.

Of course, my heart wound hasn't completely healed, but I don't feel the cold from the sleeping face of a girl who sleeps easily when she was once a slave.

"It's time to tell Latifah"

Specifically, I'm not saying what.

That's to tell Latifah that Rio is leaving, but we don't have to say it. There's a common understanding between the two of us on the matter.

"Right. I think it might be a little early, but it might suit me. Still got a year or so in here, huh?

Arsla thought that would be about the goal, given the time he would receive teaching from Sildra and Dominic.

"Yeah, at least that's how I'm gonna be"

As for Rio, I believe it would be best to tell him at this point in time that Latifah's life is stable.

I wanted to give her some time to tell and think ahead of time than she might run out of time to be prepared to go back to saying it was too last minute.

"Hmm, the two parties are together. I'm not going to maximize what I can do to keep that child from getting lonely, but it's also not a problem that a third party, Nong, can solve. At best, you work hard to persuade me, brother superior."

When she seemed to love Latifah, who sleeps on Rio's knees with a calm sleeping face, Arsula gave Rio words of encouragement.
