Chapter 321 – A Festival-like Festival

The festival season has arrived .

People from Village One, Village Two, Village Three, Village Four, Hot Spring area, South Dungeon, and North Dungeon have gathered .

As for the guests, they are Dors, Raimeiren, Doraim, demon king, Yuri, Beezel, Glatts, Randan, Hou, ancestor-san, and Fushu .

The two former four heavenly kings are also here .

The number of people has increased a lot which is strange since I don’t see anyone from Village Five .

Maybe it’s only an illusion .

The current number of people here are… . . a lot .

「It’s over 800 . It’s slightly more than expected but… . there’s no problem . 」

That’s what one of the civil servant girls who’s beside me said .

It seems like more dream demons from Village Four have come than usual .

I thought that I could use the dream demons’ way of clothing to educate the children but they are dressed like ordinary village girls .

I heard that it is the result of Gou and Bell’s instruction . They told them that if they want to participate in the festival, they have to be dressed appropriately .

They asked Goroun Company to prepare second-hand clothes for them .

However, their sex appeal can’t be contained by ordinary clothes… . . what do I mean?

Boobs and ass… .

When I was looking at them, a person suddenly in front of me to block my view .

It’s Ann .

Her smile is scary .

I don’t intend to do something wrong but I’ll apologize for whatever I should apologize for .

「I’m sorry . Ehto, it’s about time . 」

「… . That’s right . Please go to the appointed place . 」

I moved to the appointed place that was arranged beforehand .

Next to me are the civil servant girls in queues .

One of the civil servant girls steps up to a stage to tell our greetings .

After the opening remarks or various precautions, it is now my turn .

I’m not in my usual outfit but in a new outfit made by Zabuton .

When she told me that she prepared it for this day, there’s no longer a way for me to not wear it .

It is a pure white clothes embroidered with red and gold threads in various parts .

It also has a white mantle on its back with red lining .

I’m also wearing a gold crown .

They said that it’s to attract attention or something .

And maybe as a festival requirement, I also have a staff and a flag on my hand .

Of course, the flag is installed on the staff .

The flag is embroidered with a flashy big tree .

I had a feeling that I visually looked like a vocal of a band .

No, don’t I look like the leader of an ouendan?

Then, shouldn’t I be wearing a hat rather than a crown?

Could it be that I look out of place?

This outfit .

As if to give an answer to my questions, the residents who saw me calmed down .

Ah… . . let’s end this quickly .

「Then, let’s this year’s festival begin! No one must get injured!」

My declaration was answered with great cheers .

Thank you .

You’re in good spirits .

I was a little surprised .

This year’s festival consists of three parts .

The content of each part is different from each other .

The first part is children’s division .

As for what it is, it’s an obstacle race .

There are balance beam, vaulting box, and slope climbing . There are also common obstacles like net crawling and obstacles that need brainpower like puzzles and riddles . There’s also an obstacle that needs audience participation which is impersonation .

Its concept is to let everyone enjoy it .

However, victory and defeat are also important so it was decided that the participants must use their brain and muscle power to a certain extent .

The centaur kids are generally strong .

I thought they would find it hard to crawl under the net but they unexpectedly advanced smoothly .

The theme of impersonation is decided by lottery . They can only rely on luck on that part .

Anyone can guess who they are impersonating but usually, it is the parents or people of the same race who are answering from the audience .

A whirlpool of laughter and confusion arise .

That hatchling there, is it really difficult to impersonate a chicken?

That harpy there, is lion that hard?

「Father, I hate you . 」

It was a child who got angry because his father doesn’t get his impersonation .

I know how you feel but don’t say something like that .

Your father is crying .

Eh?

I should go to the answering seat?

Run!!… . I’m Alfred’s pair .

A-all right!

Let’s show them our father and son bond!

…… .

Alfred’s eyes are cold .

No, I got the correct answer but I made a mistake for about five times .

It is because next to us are the Tiselle and Tier pair . Tier only answered once… . .

I’m sorry .

Also, what is the clay doll Earth doing there… . Ah, he doesn’t know what Ursa is impersonating so he got depressed when he was replaced with Hakuren halfway .

No, no, I think you did your best .

The second part is for adults .

It is a relay race .

There are no obstacles and the race will be on a normal course .

Teams are formed voluntarily . Most of them will participate in village to village battle or race to race matches .

Naturally, the race difference hurdle is really high but that won’t be a problem .

The reason is, a fast race will only compete with another fast race .

If you’ll win no matter what, what’s the point of competing?

The participating teams discussed and the race was decided .

In relay races, passing the baton is important but some participants won’t be able to do that because of their race .

They are the kuros and the harpies .

As an additional rule for them, it will be fine if they only touch instead of passing the baton .

However, they must high five forefoot to forefoot for the kuros while wings to wings with the harpies .

The races were exciting .

The race between the minotaur team and the titan team was slow but intense .

The race between the kuros team and the centaur team, with the participation of the horse team, was a close battle

The winner is the centaur team .

The kuros took too much time with their high five . They find it difficult to do .

The horse team was spiderlings riding horses . The spiderlings hold and pass the baton while the horses run .

However, there was a bit of disadvantage along the way which I think is a major reason for losing .

The horse team would have won if the fast female unicorn was able to participate . It wasn’t able to participate due to being pregnant .

Yeah, of course .

Even if she wants to participate, we won’t let her .

As long as you are motivated, you can participate as many times as you want . Participating in a row is prohibited but it is okay for a race to participate in a row so various teams were created .

There was a race that stood out . It is a five-team battle led by the demon king, Beezel, Glatts, Randan, and Hou .

In order to start the race, a team must have 8 members and of course, they should be able to run .

Hence, I decided to join the demon king’s team .

The boos from other teams are terrible .

You shouldn’t . I’m not even fast to begin with… .

So it is not me that they booed but the fact that it will be easier for the team to gather members now .

I see .

An infernowolf joined the demon king’s team and it is… . Uno .

He’s fully motivated .

The spiderlings and the centaurs of our team are fast too .

Ah, Girar .

Areh?

Oh, you’re late .

You came from Guraru’s impersonation… . . Ah, I wasn’t able to see it .

That’s cute for sure .

So, Girar should be… . fast .

Good .

The demon king thinks he has already won while I’m thinking how not to drag the team down… .

Ugh, pressure .

And the result, Beezel’s team won .

Demon king’s team was third .

I’m not the only handicap, the demon king too .

「I’m good at short distance moving, it will only take a moment but I’m not good at running at moderate distance . 」

The other teams did their best to win too .

Well, it was fun so I have no complaints .

The third part is voluntary participation .

The competition is bon odori .

This is an ordinary bon festival dance with no one winning or losing .

It is my suggestion .

It was hard to explain .

「We’re going to dance in a circle? And then dance around it?」

「Is everyone going to do the same choreography?」

「The music is mainly center on drums and songs… . understood . 」

It was not easy to convey it with words . They finally managed to somehow get it when I demonstrated at the yagura .

The residents of Big Tree Village now have some understanding regarding bon odori .

For the time being, as a sample, it started with only the residents of Big Tree Village as participants .

Seeing all the participants dancing together is simply beautiful .

I originally planned to beat the drum on the yagura but for some reason, I’m standing on the yagura .

I wonder why?

Maa, I can’t oppose them when they say that it’ll be smoother .

Also, I was forced to dance .

Let’s do our best .

The music is slightly unique but I don’t have any complaints .

Though it is a little different from the bon odori I thought of, I’m still satisfied .

The sun went down .

Bon odori will be performed all night as long as there are participants .

Because of that, the after festival banquet has started .

Don’t dance till you drop .

Please take a rest if you need to .

The musicians and singers should take turns to rest too .

Yes, the children will be participating so leave space for them .

Surprisingly, it seems like people find it easier to participate after getting drunk .

Those who were initially reluctant are also starting to participate .

The choreography is not so difficult .

There are now three rings surrounding the yagura .

Yeah, the demon king dancing is not conspicuous .

As for Dors, Girar, and ghost knight, they have their own choreography .

… . no problem .

I watch the kuros and the spiderlings create the fourth circle .

You guys are participating too?

The kuros’ dance is… . unique .

Why are they jumping?

Well, I don’t mind .

What’s important is to feel good .

The spiderlings’ dance is also unique .

Hahaha

You’re lovely .

By the way, when will I be able to get off the yagura?
