Death Guns In Another World

Just as they left, Silveria reminded them they should also put on a mask to prevent people from easily recognizing them. With how popular Alex had become lately and Sakuya inheriting the founder katana, things would have become troublesome if they were recognized, they might be unable to enjoy this Omatsuri. So to avoid this situation, they all put on masks, and because people also did this, their group didn't stand out.

The streets were filled with stalls, and the atmosphere was lively. Because they wished to stuff their stomachs as much as possible, they skipped tonight's dinner.

''Takoyaki right ahead.'' Sakuya pointed at a stall selling octopus dumplings, and Gracier's eyes shone. She had heard from Sakuya and Saeko that if one wished to enjoy this festival truly, there are some foods you should never miss out on, for example, eating Takoyaki.

The group stopped at the Takoyaki stall and brought a few Takoyaki to eat before they continued visiting different stalls. The next stall their visited was the one selling Yakitori (Grilled meat skewers); while the others were eating Yakitori, Luna didn't eat as she was not too much a fan of meat; she was afraid of gaining some weight, she had said. Leaving the group, she searched for a particular stall until she found it, a stall selling Okonomi-Yaki (Japanese pancake). After buying a few, she went back to join the others, and she was surprised not to see Silveria; therefore, she asked.

''Where is Silveria?"

Instead of answering, Alex pointed his finger to his right, to stalls on his right to be exact, there stood a Silveria with her eyes locked onto something as if she was about to do something meaningful. After identifying the thing, Silveria's eyes were locked on; Luna facepalmed, wondering why one would overreact just for ice cream.

However, it was not just your typical ice but a special Japanese one, the shaved ice topped with flavored syrup, formerly known as Kaki-Go-o-ri. Silveria happily brought a few with different flavors; she must have kept some for later; she would enjoy them once she was alone.

Saeko chuckled, finding Silveria's behavior a bit childish. She might look like an unapproachable goddess at first glance; however, you could easily get along with her; she was simple except for that side of her that wished to tease others constantly, and she was easy to get along with.

If Alex were to hear this evaluation of Silveria, he would have spat on the ground, rolling his eyes at whoever said this because, as far he remembered, this woman was like a bitch to him, looking down on him. He also acted like a coward back then. Now looking back at that time, Alex felt like he had been naive; maybe the reality that he had reincarnated hadn't set well within him; that was why he acted as he did or because he was too afraid of acting otherwise. The only good thing about everything that happened was who he became today. Those events must have helped create today's Black prince, not that he would let the same things happen to him if he were to go back.

Alex threw those nonsensical thoughts to his head, and the group continued enjoying their Omatsuri.

Their next stop was in front of a stall selling Choco-banana (Chocolate-covered banana)

And Ichigo-Ame (strawberry candy). As a candy lover, Luna brought a lot.

''The first step completed. Let's move on to the next step, which is enjoying some masturi games.'' As if she was a masturi expert, the S Queen took the lead after everyone had their tummy filled up.

Gracier and Saeko exchanged a look before covering their mouth with the sleeves of their yukatas to hide their smile.

They were saying Silveria looked childish when she saw ice cream, but currently, Sakuya seemed more childish with how she was behaving. The two girls believed that if Sakuya had a tail, this tail would be twisting left and right to show how excited its master currently was.

Indeed, Sakuya was really excited to show her lover her culture and enjoy this with her friends and new family. The loneliest she felt recently as she missed her home seemed to be slowly healing. She was sure she was not the only one in this situation, Luna and Maria might try to hide it, but they were also feeling lonely as the time passed, especially when they became stronger. They couldn't but had this thought: How long it would take them to be able to go back, or worse, could they be able ever to go back?

The two girls would often have nightmares where they saw graves with their family names. Not to worry others, they didn't talk about those nightmares yet, but Sakuya had noticed it, and she immediately came up with a plan. The plan was simple using these three days to help them destress. She wanted to have them enjoy this festival to its maximum.

''Okay, sensei, what kind of game shall we play first?" Alex said after finishing his Ringo-Ame (Candy Apple)

There was a rumor saying if you went to a matsuri without eating a Ringo-Ame, then you did not really enjoy this matsuri. It was normal because you will always find at least one ringo ame stall at a Japanese festival.

One of Alex's acquaintances on Earth had told him after visiting Japan. ''You know Alex thinking about Japanese festivals, one image that always comes into my mind is with girls dressed in yukata, elegantly holding a ringo ame.''

Looking at the current scene with girls holding each a Ringo-Ame and enjoying them, Alex finally understood what his acquaintance meant.

While Alex was lost in his memories, Sakuya stopped and seemed to be profoundly contemplating something. Silveria rolled her eyes at her, wondering if there was a need to exaggerate just for playing some stupid games; however, she was the only one having this thought. The other patiently waited for Sakuya to decide which game they would play first.

Finally, Sakuya had decided, and the group followed her.
