(16) Yacomina Laboratory stalls
The school festival at Arksand School is five days long when all the dates are met.
In the meantime, the general public, who are not normally allowed to enter the premises, will also be able to do so, except in part.
Because it is adapted to all, not just the inhabitants of the city, it will also show an unusual buzz.
First day of the school festival.
Sigel, who was to touch the air at the first school festival, said in an admirable manner.
"I see. Is this the school festival? It's natural for everyone to stick around."
Cindy nodded with a laugh at Sigel's words as she stood at the stall she was putting out in the lab.
"I knew you'd think so? I like this vibe, too."
Cindy watched as people walked on campus grounds like they wouldn't normally see them as they narrowed their eyes.
Sometimes today is the first day and not as many customers come from outside, but instead there are many students walking around.
The lab is stalling on that first day for a good reason.
"Oh, here we are this year."
As Sigel was baking the meat of the demon he had hunted the other day, there was a man approaching him saying that.
Seeing that he was lowering his sword to his waist, he quickly found out that the man was an adventurer.
Sigel looks a little bewildered by the way he looks at the man with much ease.
Quicker than that Sigel said something, Cindy responded to the man with a laugh.
"Oh. You're here again this year."
"Ouch. I've decided to start the first round of the school festival here."
"Thanks for everything."
A conversation with Cindy showed that the man was an annual regular.
And this is also why the Yacomina Laboratory is always open on the first day.
Yakomina, who has had a lab at school for a long time, has a proven track record of seeing many graduate students.
Those graduate students and their associates come to the school festival to show their faces in this way.
Plus, being open every year, like this guy, can make you regular.
The man who received the boar BBQ from Cindy turned his gaze to Sigel.
"Whoa. Are you new over there?
"Oh, yes."
Sigel, suddenly questioned, replied in a slight panic.
"Hahaha. Don't be so nervous. I think a lot of people are going to say the same thing."
"Really?
"What. You really just got in? Especially if you're in a small lab, you'll know as soon as the new guy gets in. It also means showing your face like this."
"I see," Sigel nodded when he heard the man explain that.
Regardless of who comes to the school festival by jumping in or visiting the amusement mountain, there may be times when you are greeting new graduate students in order to stay connected to the lab if you are as regular as a man.
It is not necessarily necessary for the occasion to be a school festival, but it is also certain that the school festival has thus become an easy place to show its face.
To Sigel, who has nodded at himself several times, the man went on to say even more.
"Well, that's why I think we're going to keep getting greetings. Well, I wouldn't tell you to remember them all, but just be as good as you love them. Sometimes you get misunderstood like someone else."
That's what the man said, he turned his gaze to Valerie, who was ready for chillies and meat.
The basically silent Valerie is certainly susceptible to misunderstandings from the first person she meets.
Understanding what that gaze meant, Sigel nodded bitterly.
"I decide to be careful"
"From what I've seen, it looks like you'll be fine."
The man who gave that back ate the meat he had in his hand thoroughly.
And the man, who returned Cindy the vessel that had meat in it, walked away from the Yakomina lab stall whining about where he was going next as he waved his right hand.

Since the first man came to the store, customers had started coming to the stall as if waiting for it.
Not as busy as dying, but people are coming to such a point that we all have to turn people around properly and put in the rest of the day.
The number of people turning it around for five, including Sigel, is so critical.
However, Sigel noticed along the way that apparently customers coming to the Yacomina lab are anticipating the right time to avoid getting too busy.
Otherwise, the flow of customers should not become exactly average.
Sigel, wondering about it, asked Cindy a question where the flow of people had stopped a little.
"Why are you bothering to come to an average?
"That's easy. Most of our visitors are graduates of the school or their peers."
"You know what?"
To Cindy's answer, Sigel nodded with a convincing look.
School graduates should always be experiencing this school festival once.
That means we're experiencing exactly what happens when people get more crowded in line.
Naturally, there are unpopular stalls, but if you put out stalls on a lab or class basis, there will almost certainly be many people coming.
Because of that experience, customers take care not to line up too often, so they go to each stall.
Of course, some of them do not care about such considerations, but they are balanced just fine.
Incidentally, the number of customers also increases in the case of classes and laboratories larger than the Yakomina Laboratory, but the number of people that can handle it can be greater for that matter, so the businessness doesn't change much.
When Cindy and Sigel were talking about that, they came just in anticipation of when the customers they were dealing with were gone.
Sigel tried to respond normally by looking at the woman, but tilted her neck inside when she saw Cindy, who was next door, stiffened herself.
"Welcome"
Since Cindy was in that condition, Sigel normally greeted the woman as a clerk.
In response to a greeting from Sigel, the woman said as she turned her gaze.
"Give me a slice."
"Hi."
"And then, maybe or not, you're Sigel?
"Really?
Determining that she apparently knew Cindy, Sigel nodded without hiding.
The woman, who looked at the sigel only slightly narrowed her eyes, turned her gaze softly to the lug for a moment before putting it right back on.
"Yes. - I hope your strengths will not be demonstrated in the school from now on."
"What does that mean?
When Sigel listened similarly with her eyes narrowed, the woman shook her neck left and right with a strange smile.
"You shouldn't say any more. If you recognize it poorly, you'll be more likely to get involved. … I hope this consideration doesn't go to waste"
That's what the woman said, putting the meat on the plate she received from Sigel in her mouth.
And the woman, who swallowed the meat firmly, left the stall as she returned the plate to Sigel, lifting her right hand towards Cindy and saying, "I'll be back."
Sigel, who dropped off the woman's back, saw Cindy, who had never uttered a word after all.
"Someone you seem to know, but who's that nervous?
When Sigel heard that, Cindy took a deep breath before answering.
"At least for me, though. He was a senior in the lab, and he recommended me."
"I see."
If that's the case, I also know why Cindy rarely remained nervous.
"Nevertheless, lest strength be shown? Cindy, you know what that means?
"You just don't get it. I wonder what that means?
To Siegel's question, Cindy leaned her neck as she answered.
