"New Year's Eve Hua Festival" was the second time for Hikaru, but Ville-Zentra's it was very grand.
Many stores have shown up in the morning and have made sales in stores all over the place. All this day I noticed people walking heavy with baskets to loosen the purse strings as well.
Such a sale ends in the evening, and the store is closed. Then the people roll out into the city and make a fuss.
"Huh... it's gonna be so much fuss"
Say it like Paula was impressed.
The edge of the boulevard is filled with tables even though it's the end of the year cold and people are having a banquet. At all costs, the magic guide lamp is also put outside to illuminate the street.
I hear a song I'm not used to hearing.
That's a sailor's song. Ville-Zentra is only a city of sailors, even in the capital of Villeosean.
The song of a woman waiting for a sailor who went far, the song of a man who regrets having vacated his hometown for a long time but pursues his dreams...... but it was no wonder that the children's singing nursery rhymes were the same here and in Einvist's Hopestadt.
"Hikaru, that"
Ravia pulls her sleeve when she cripples. Seeing as she points, there's a crowd in the middle of the boulevard.
"That's good, brother. Show me the man."
"Such a selfish man, don't shake it!
"I can't hear you, so speak up."
The gallery is so divergently voiced, but thank you. It was such an atmosphere that a man was proposing to a woman.
Looks like a woman turned her back on a man, and a voice rises from the wah gallery. At that time,
--Wait, Luca!
And I heard a familiar voice from the crowd.
"... Hikaru, possibly Arr"
"... I don't want to go but I guess this is the flow I have to go..."
Hikaru and the others enter the training ground with a bad feeling but cracking the crowd.
"It's not, Luca. I didn't mean to leave you. I'm weak... I need to be stronger!
…………
"Please, look at me!
There was Claude and Luca.
I guess I just ran into Claude because Luca and I were originally planning to rendezvous all over the city. Behind Claude were Ivan and Lowey,
"Hold on, Claude."
"Decide. You must be a man"
Or he manages to throw an irresponsible voice.
"He and the others are really already..."
Luca with her back to Claude seemed troubled. Hikaru stands between Luca and Claude and Lavia and Paula head to Luca's protection.
"Hey, Hikaru!?"
"What a surprise."
For a sudden appearance, Claude, Ivan and Lowey have a startling look on their face. I want to say how close we are around having the exact same look.
"Well, Claude, it's too convenient for you to leave Luca alone in this city to attract her interest now, isn't it?
"No, that's not... I mean, how does Hikaru know!?"
"Well, I heard the whole story. I'm the one protecting her."
"What? No!?"
protection, did you react to the word. Claude's face stains the vermilion.
"Hikaru! What are you going to do with Luca!! I won't forgive you in some cases!
To Claude with his index finger pointed at Hikaru, cheers fly.
"That's good, bro, do it!
"When you're bedridden, take it back!
Hikaru flirts with villains as much as he can.
"Then swear, here, my love for her. Take her to the New World with the vow of absolutely protecting her, and the vow of absolutely protecting her."
"Become!?"
Claude as well as the gallery reacted to the term New World.
"Hey, are they going to the New World?
"If the sea is dangerous, the continent is dangerous."
"It's a mess to take a woman"
But Hikaru doesn't stop talking there.
"Claude, it's your bad ass not to act until it's fully operational. There's never a whole lot going on. If you want it, reach out now."
"--Oh, okay. I swear, I swear!
Sooo, and Claude breathes heavily.
"Luca!! I'm sorry, I wasn't sure about myself... I'm so confident I'm going to protect you! But I blew it off. The days without you are harder than the days without such confidence. So stay close to me! I will protect you under all circumstances!
————
Looking back, Luca runs out.
"Clawdock."
"Luca!"
And Claude again.
Wah the gallery clapped as the two hugged each other in front of the crowd watching--.
"What's that farce"
Waiting for the Hikals to escape the crowd at the time Luca ran out was, like, a word of celica.
'Don't say it. What are you doing over there?
"It's a feast now. A feast. You guys coming?
When you look at it, there are four "Oriental Four Stars" in abundance. Around holding food and liquor bottles in both hands, they seem to do it inside, not outside.
"Why don't you come too, Hikaru?"
Her smile is no longer nagging in Hikaru's eyes, although Soluz says with the same refreshing smile.
"I refuse"
"What, I won't hesitate. It's like a long journey in a giant carriage."
"I refuse. I mean, you just care if you go to all the women. Please stay with us for the new year."
"... right"
The solution pulled off.
"It's been a long time since we could spend the new year together, so let's do that"
Later I heard that "Oriental Four Stars" basically stay in Pawnsonia, so they get voices from nobles everywhere at the New Year's Eve Chinese Festival.
"Hikaru is popular."
"I don't think it's like being popular."
Hikaru and the others headed after breaking up with the "Oriental Four Stars" was a restaurant they used a lot since they came to Ville-Zentra.
Since it has become a lot more regular, I was asked to hold the counter seat even though it was time for the "New Year's Eve Chinese Festival".
It was a store the size of whether to fit 20 people or not, but it was full inside. There was a customer who said the counter was really good, and the seat Hikaru was put through as an exchange was at the window upstairs.
And his seat, which looked down upon the boulevard, was also well seen the light of the moon, which was full.
Tongue drums on dishes made with Ville-Zentra-like seafood.
"Ah. An operation to surprise Claude by just seeing him on the Grand Dream continent is a bubble of water."
"But I think it was good for Mr. Luca. I feel sorry to have to wait three months for the years to go by."
"I'm glad Master Hikaru hit you over there!
"Hmm... you thought if you went as far as Grand Dream Continent, Claude would be just as hungry, too. But --"
Claude said clearly in front of the public. Protecting Luca.
Originally, Claude and Luca had fallen in love without a way. They were cautious because they were directly connected to the danger to their lives when that thought came to light.
That caution was necessary at that time, but now it had made a mistake I'm not sure about.
"... Claude grew up when I wasn't sure."
Hikaru brought the tea to his mouth when he said it was pompous.
"Dear Hikaru, who is Celica from" The Four Stars of the East "..."
Paula shuts her mouth when I say it.
"Hmm? What's wrong with Celica?"
"Oh, no, the... nothing --"
"Paula's worried that Hikaru's going somewhere."
"Lavia!?"
"Hmm, me? Why?"
"Celica's the same otherworldly person as Hikaru, isn't she? So I was wondering if what she and I were talking about might be a way to get back to the original world."
"Oh......"
When Hikaru saw it, Paula did lay down her anxiety-seeping eyes.
"-- Well, you said you were exchanging information on how to get back to the original world. And I think I got that tip."
"What!?"
"Really? What tips?"
I didn't seem to expect that to happen, and Lavia was surprised to hear it.
"I don't mind talking, but I'll tell you before I do. What if we found a way to connect the other world--"
Just then, various shades of light lit up the sides of the Hikars. And don, don, and I hear noises from the sky.
Fireworks have been launched to tell them that the years have changed.
But the three of them kept talking so they wouldn't even notice it.
