142 Stories: Winter Festival
Meanwhile, around that time.
Ichigo was walking alongside Barletta on the main street in the bustling streets of the people.
Knowing that there was a festival going on in the city, Ichigo invited Barletta out of the mansion and came to see it.
"It's busy. Will this last all night?"
Almost all the shops on the street are open now that it's night, and all of them are full of customers.
People exhale white in the stained winter cold, but their faces are all bright and enjoyable.
It is in the spirit of the Citizens' Festival that we celebrate the last day of the year and the first day of the following year with a great deal of fuss.
"Amazing, isn't it? I've never had a festival this big."
Barletta is slightly gazing around her as she walks closer to Ichigo's neighbor.
They both wear thick coats that they have loaned from the mansion and are wrapped in mufflers around their necks.
"Speaking of which, I heard a little about the festival in the village of Grisea before, do you even do a festival in the village for the new year?
"The only festival in the village is the harvest festival that takes place at the end of the fall, right? There are no festivals like this."
"Oh, really? What is this? If you went to the village a month or two ago, you could have participated in the festival. I would have liked to see it."
"Oh, there was no festival this year. We talked about having no choice but to do it without Mr. Kazra, and when the day comes when Mr. Kazra will be back in the village, we're going to make a big deal of it."
"Huh? Did you cancel because of me? I wish I didn't mind..."
"Eh, the purpose is to offer Graciole our gratitude for the harvest at the Harvest Festival. So when the target of the festival isn't there, there's something different about having a festival."
"Oh, really?"
Talking about that, I came through the boulevard to a luxury commercial section.
The center of the circular square was lined with a sketch of hundreds, illuminating the entire square.
Around it are tables and chairs lined up, and in their seats many people eat and drink adorably without the cold.
There also seemed to be quite a few stalls out, with many crowds.
Popularity seems to be concentrated in warm food stalls, such as stews and soups.
There are also several food stalls out there that can be eaten while walking, such as hot potato dumplings stabbed on skewers and elongated fried bread (teased with sweet boiled shredded fruit).
"Ooh, that's so busy...... isn't that too much craving for anything? The placement is too dense. Something's wrong."
"That's right. I wish I could put it more scattered."
The two lined up in one of the stalls and bought warm Myagi milk in a wooden cup (on loan).
Move to the side of the stall and look over the square with your mouth on the cup.
"Me, I've never had milk before. It's delicious."
Ugh, and drinking milk like it mattered, Barletta smiles happily.
"Something like this, it tastes relieved, doesn't it? I used to drink a lot when I was tired or when my nerves were high and I didn't sleep well."
"You have that effect, too. Does the milk you can drink in Japan taste the same as this? It was called milk."
"It's similar, but a little different. It's sarcastic and the smell is thinner."
For the first time, I tilted my neck at the taste of Myagi's milk, wondering how Ichigo described it.
Although I'm concerned about the beast odor I feel just a little bit, the taste is not bad.
A hint of sweetness and a mellow mouthfeel can be considered delicious without complaint.
"Is Japanese milk better?
"Hmm... I wonder if the flavor tastes better this way. I'm a little concerned about the smell, so if I can do something about this, it's going to taste better."
"Really?! Next time I'll look for a way to get rid of the smell!
"Oh, but I do think it was hard to get rid of the smell of livestock milk. Instead of doing squeezed milk, we should have to do something about how we grow it and feed it."
"What, really? I wonder what to do..."
"Next time you'll look it up in Japan. I don't know if I can do it the same way."
I drank milk talking perfectly and decided to go around the square where my body warmed up.
Clothes stores and ornament stores seem to have a year-end sale, with clerks calling in aloud.
"That's amazing...... I wonder if it's okay to say half the price of everything"
Barletta stopped on the call's voice as she passed in front of one of the ornament stores.
Ichiya stopped her legs and looked over at you, and there was a trinket shop that used to go in with Reese.
"Do you want to take a peek?
"Um, well, just a little bit"
When the two of us walked into the store, a couple of couples inside looked at the product displayed on the shelf.
Everyone is dressed in little beautiful clothes and can be seen as wealthy at first glance.
There was a clerk stuck to each customer, and he was selling on the side of a couple women and men all the time here.
"Welcome! Brother, is this a gift for her?
Looking at the product for two, one of the clerks called out.
"Yeah, I was hoping for something good. Let me show you something."
"Yes! We have a huge bleeding service today at a discounted price for almost everything! Please let us know if you have any concerns!
"Yes, thank you"
Pepper lowered his head and dropped off the clerk rushing under another customer, and Ichiyoshi glanced at the shelf.
All the copper accessories placed on the entrance side of the store were half-price, with some silver finishers offering two discounts.
"Do you mean half price for all products and half price for all copper products? How to call in well...... Mr. Barletta?
"Ha, ha!
When I felt some gaze and Ichigo looked next to me, Barletta, with a red face, raised her bare voice.
"Don't you see?
"I'll see! Wow, this is cute!
"That's the paperweight on the price tag."
"Ugh... Mr. Kazra is mean..."
"Why!?
With such an exchange, the two of us look around at the products on the shelf.
Looking at that and this, Barletta took one of them.
A copper pendant that follows flowers, familiar to Ichigo.
"Oh, is that it? I knew you were cute."
"Oh, do you agree with Mr. Kazra?
"Yeah, I thought she was cute when I saw her before."
"... when you saw it before?
"Clerk, this please"
He distracts himself from Barletta, who suddenly asks him in the face, and calls in a different young woman clerk who was in the vicinity to pay for it.
And immediately, Ichiyoshi offered the pendant to Barletta.
"Yes! Go ahead!
"What!? Oh, thank you! Glad!"
Barletta receives the pendant and alternates with it.
The clerk watching the condition felt something in Barletta's trick, nibbling and opening his mouth.
"Brother, in times like this, your brother needs to hang you around your neck"
"Oh, right! I will!
Ichigo immediately turns his hand around Barletta's neck and tries to strap the leather string.
But because of the rush, it doesn't work and I can't really hook up the hardware.
"Look, it's not going to work because you're too far away. We need to pull more."
When the clerk said so, he pressed a good back to snuggle with Barletta.
Looks like a complete hug from the side.
"Hey, clerk, you pushed too much! He said it was too close to do the opposite!
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"Excuse me, Mr. Barletta. 'Cause it'll be over soon."
"Yes, no"
To Barletta, who is blushing and stiff, the clerk is bissy! and thumbed up.
"Oh man, that's something that doesn't work when you're in a hurry. I didn't know it would take that long."
A tired look says Ichigo as he walks out of the shed and down the square.
Barletta kept her face red and walked a little next to it with a pompous look on her face.
Underneath the coat, the copper pendant that I have been given is shaking.
"Do you want to go into some warm shop and rest a little? You've been walking forever."
"Yes... right..."
"I wonder if it's the store there or something. I hope I can sit down."
"Yes... right..."
"Um, Mr. Barletta?
"Yes... right..."
"All right, let's go in here"
Ichigo pulled Barletta's hand and laid his hand on the restaurant door.
Gee, when I opened the wooden door and went inside, the heat shoved in like it was annoying along with the hustle and bustle.
Proceed through the busy store and speak to the elderly man's clerk over the counter.
"Excuse me, can we get two people in?
"Sorry, I'm full right now. You can take it out and eat it at the table outside, but what do you do?
"No, it's a little cold out there. I'll look for something else."
"Oh, wait a minute. Hey, the husband with the family on the wall there!
As Yi Liang gave up and tried to go outside, the clerk spoke to the male guest sitting on the wall.
The guest looks like a family member, with a small young woman who is thought to be his wife and four toddlers in their seats together.
"Hmm, is that me?
"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, can you pack a little and get these two to take their seats? I'll give you a discount."
"Seriously! Of course I don't mind. Hey! Look, Lene's on Dad's lap. Ron's on my mother's lap."
"Yeah!"
"Yay!
"What? But it's bad. Look for something else."
Ichigo hurries to speak to a man who tries to hold a child and put it on his knees.
"You can say it! It would be more fun for everyone to eat. I can even get you a discount, and don't hesitate!
When the man said, a young woman sitting face to face smiled with a good smile.
He is a nostalgic smiling figure with long wavy blonde hair and clear eyes.
"Please, don't worry about either of you. If it's not inconvenient."
"Oh, no, I can't believe it's annoying. Well, excuse me."
Sweet for the men's words, the two took their seats as they turned to each other.
There aren't any dishes on the table yet, and the guys seem to have just entered the store.
"My name is Luruna. Best regards,"
"My name is Lorna. Best regards,"
The girls, who look about seven or eight years old, sitting next to their parents, peel their heads down.
Sitting between Ichiya and the man is Luluna, between Barletta and the woman is Lorna.
"Oh, thank you. My name is Kazla."
"It's Barletta. Best regards,"
When the good guys bowed their heads, they smiled adorably.
They both have a somewhat elegant atmosphere as children.
The two faces looked just like each other, apparently twin sisters.
The children who look four or five years old on their parents' laps are like older children, with girls sitting on their father's lap and boys sitting on their mother's lap.
Girls are like fathers, boys are like mothers.
Probably one older girl.
"Hey! Two extra milks over here! And order something proper large dish!
When the father's man ordered from the clerk out loud, he said, "Ah!" He leaked his voice and saw the good.
"Sorry, I asked for milk on my own with my usual habits. Was booze better?
"No, I'm fine. Because I like milk."
"Oh well. I'm sorry about your daughter. Give me a break because milk is expensive."
"Oh, it's okay. And I, Shimodo, why can't I drink alcohol?"
When the two said so, the man smiled, saying yes or no.
"By the way, do you guys live in this city?
"Yeah. Even so, I've still been living there about six months. She came over about a month ago."
"Really? How do you feel about living in this city?
"I think it's a good place. The security looks good there, and the food is delicious."
"Sounds like you do have good security. But that's the food, it seems like it's a lot off the charts."
"What, really?
"Ouch. Whatever it is, there are too few stores that have dishes that go with children's tongues. There are too many flavors and cluttered stores. Even the shops of the lower town in Wangdu..."
"You don't say that out loud. Think of a place."
"Wow, wow. It was inadvertent."
With his wife's voice, the man whispered so that he could mourn.
This couple, it looks like my wife is totally laying her husband on her ass.
"We just arrived from Wangdu on a trip."
"Was it? This festival is for you, is it?
When Ichigo asked, the man's wife smiled, "Yes," she said.
"I heard that Istel Territory is hosting an aristocratic feast this year, so I wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve in the city where we are celebrating the festivities most because of it."
"Heh. When it's a city of lords hosting a feast, is it something exciting but different? I'm new to this festival."
"The city will be vibrant as leading men come from all over the country. The servants he brings will stay in the city, not in the lord's mansion, and everyone will play around in the city because it's free time for his master to be on the banquet."
"Oh, I see. Are you saying group travelers are pushing over?"
"Yes. Besides, it's common for nobles to glorify other nobles, give their offerings a lot of cash, and say, 'Use it all up,' so the shopkeepers seem to be in a different mood."
"Heh. I've never heard of it before. You know things, right? Uh..."
When Ichiyoshi said so, she turned a stiff face.
"Oh, excuse me! I'm, uh... my name is Tina"
"I'm Lugro. Nice to meet you!"
"Hey, oh, already..."
Tina sighs in a cheerful manner to the man who laughs and names her.
After that, about an hour later, the four of them dined bickering and decided to leave the store because the child began to grope.
In the end, it was decided that the price was a split.
"Wow, I can't believe this is cold. It's going to snow."
Turning away from the warmth in the store, he received cold air on his face, and Lugro shook himself for a long time.
"Tosama, come on!
"Me too!
"Mm-hmm. All right. Hold on to both of you. Oh, shit!
"Wow!
"Yikes!"
Lugro held up his two younger children and began to circle around on the spot.
The children have both hands on his neck, screaming and shuddering.
"He's a good father."
"Hehe, it's like half a child."
She joins hands with her twin daughters and Tina laughs a little lightly.
"Um, Mr. Tina"
"Mm, what?
Barletta calls me, Tina turns around.
"Do you have any idea why you keep so much gathering and putting away the barbecue you keep over there?
To the words, the three of them turned to the centre of the square.
Despite the squares, people are making a fuss at the table where they are placed so as to surround a lot of fireworks.
"That one by one represents the day of the following year." May the new year be as bright as this fire, "it means."
"Is the New Year bright, too?"
"That's a pretty shabby connotation."
As convinced, Barletta and Ichigo nod.
"But they don't say this is a custom that's been around for a long time. When I put fireworks to gather people in commercial compartments everywhere, it somehow became more and more fireworks to compete for brightness and grandeur from compartment to compartment. So, we all talked about it because there was no time limit, and all the compartments settled down by putting aside a few days of fireworks a year."
"Heh. Does it follow that you can stay bright in the New Year?"
"Sounds like it. I was a little surprised the first time I heard that customs can be done this way."
"Mother..."
"I'm sleepy......"
Talking like that, the twins pulled Tina's hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go home now."
Tina smiled at the two of them, calling Lugro.
"Now if you'll excuse me. Thank you both for a great time."
"No, thank you for this one. It was fun."
"See you later! When you get a chance to come to Wang Du, tell him I know him at the store there and call him. I know it's downtown, but I know it's central, but mostly every store has a good face. Let's have dinner together again."
"Okay. I'd love to then."
When Lugro waved to the two of them, he grabbed the carriage that had stopped in the square and left for somewhere.
"Now, is it time for us to go back? If it's too late, you're gonna get out of this."
"Right...... ah"
At that time, a small grain of snow descended from the sky.
Ichiyana looks up at the sky, "Ooh," he opens his mouth halfway and leaks his voice.
"Have you finally come down? It's only natural if it's cold."
I pulled a good sleeve looking up at the sky with a hard valetta.
"Hmm?"
"Um..."
Saying so, I glimpse the carriage parked in the square and the boulevard on my way home, and once again I look at it perfectly.
Ichiyoshi smiled at Valletta like that all the time.
"Like when I came, shall we walk home? Relax, look around and walk."
Valletta was happy to hold the hand she had been offered.
