When breakfast time began, there were still two people missing from the Nangong family's table.
One was Nakamura.
The other was Gu Cheng.
That month, he had to leave early because he had a special job that required his attention.
Gu Cheng was still sleeping soundly. Because he couldn't be woken up, Yusha didn't care about him and told him to prepare to go hungry.
So Rozen sat down in the company of a group of girls and chatted with them while eating breakfast.
Everyone's topic of conversation was a matter that had been brought up by the people of the Flux God City recently.
"Rippling Courtyard's festival …?"
Hearing this topic, Rozen couldn't help but mutter.
"Yes!" Yusha, as the one who initiated the topic, was in high spirits. "Rippling Courtyard's festival is coming soon. Has everyone thought about how to celebrate it?"
"Rippling Courtyard's festival."
It referred to the biggest festival held in the Flux God City on the last week of October every year.
Because Flux God Island was an artificial island, it originally didn't have any traditional festivals. But for a city, if it wanted to provide entertainment for its residents and stimulate its economy, then holding a festival was a very effective way to do so.
Thus, in order to serve the people, the Artificial island management commune drew up an annual festival with reference to Halloween.
This festival was the Rippling Courtyard's festival.
In other words, it was a great festival celebrated by the entire island.
During the festival, fireworks, outdoor performances, costume parades, and other activities would be held in various regions of the Flux God Island. All the residents of the island would participate in the festival. Even the Flux God Island would be open to the public, allowing tourists to come in. Thus, every time the Rippling Courtyard's festival was held, the Flux God Island would become unprecedentedly lively. Just the number of tourists visiting the Flux God Island would reach more than a hundred thousand. Considering the distance between the Flux God Island and the mainland as well as the limitations of transportation, this number was truly astonishing.
This was also because the Flux God Island was a special region for the Demons. Usually, they didn't accept visits from people other than business, research institutions and family members, let alone ordinary tourists or reporters.
Therefore, for outsiders, this was an opportunity to openly visit the Demons Special Region. There were even television stations, business people, and other people who took advantage of the celebration to come to Flux God Island to seek benefits.
In order to prevent the visiting guests from having an affair, during this period of time, the entire Special Region Guards would be mobilized to constantly patrol and inspect to maintain order on the island.
The reason why Nakamura was not at home early in the morning was that she had to make arrangements for related work.
Naturally, for the Flux God Island, this was a rare opportunity to promote the economy and consumption. Because of this, the advertising media in the Flux God City were all focused on the news of the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival. Special programs were also arranged on the television, and advertisements for the products were broadcasted everywhere with great fanfare. The entire island was already in a lively festive atmosphere.
Since that was the case, as youths at the age where they loved to play, it was naturally impossible for them not to feel excited about such a festival.
"I'm really looking forward to the fireworks show and the masquerade parade. Last year, I dressed up as a witch, and this year I want to dress up as a witch. But, but, dressing up as a vampire is also not bad. Don't you think so? Agulola? "
As a result, Liszt excitedly chatted with Agulola, causing the orthodox vampire Agulola to shrink his neck.
For Agulola, such a lively celebration should be very difficult to deal with for someone like her who was naturally afraid of strangers, right?
But …
"I … I also want to see the fireworks show!"
Agulola's eyes shone brightly as he said such words.
It should be known that not even a year had passed since Agulola broke free from the seal.
Yusha had participated in the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival in previous years, but it was Agulola's first time participating in such an event. It was impossible for him not to look forward to it.
At the same time, there was another person who was participating in the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival for the first time.
"It's also Astarudi's first time participating in the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival, right?"
Yusha asked Astarudi, who was sitting next to him expressionlessly.
"I'm sure." Astarudi nodded immediately. Like a puppet, she said with a voice lacking cadence, "It hasn't even been 100 days since I was born."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was a little speechless.
Indeed, Astarudi was an artificial life form. She was only a carrier of a beast spawned by Luotan City's Master Annihilator not long ago. If one really counted the time since she was born, it had only been a month or so.
In that case, it was naturally impossible for Astarudi to participate in the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival.
"Then, let's go and play together then." Yusha quickly changed the topic and said, "Xia Yin will come too, right?"
"Yes." Xia Yin nodded in embarrassment and said softly, "I didn't participate last year either. Father has been busy, and I don't have any friends to play with."
This young girl also had a sad experience.
"Then, let's go together when the time comes!"
Yusha clenched her small fist and said with fighting spirit.
"The Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival will be held on the last weekend of October. Our school will stop classes the day before. After we're done with our own things, let's go to the fireworks show and the costume parade together!"
After all, even if the school would stop classes the day before the festival, the students still had their own activities during the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival.
Some were preparing to participate in pipe music competitions or exhibitions related to clubs, some were dragged by the residents' association to work as laborers, some were planning to take the opportunity to earn some money, and some just wanted to enjoy the festival. Everyone had their own ways of celebrating the festival.
Yusha would have a cheerleading club activity during the festival, so she was quite busy at the beginning.
Agulola would probably be dragged to help out.
Xia Yin planned to volunteer at the association. It was said that it was a tradition of the Ardillard Monastery. Even though the church was no longer around, Xia Yin still persisted.
As for Astarudi, she seemed to be planning to replace Nakamura in patrolling during the festival.
Because of that, everyone would probably be busy with their own things first before arranging a time to play together.
As for Rozen …
"It's this day again …"
Rozen, on the other hand, sighed, and even his expression was full of sadness.
This immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What … What's wrong with you?"
Agulola asked cautiously.
"Senior Nangong doesn't like festivals?"
Xia Yin also tilted her head, looking very confused.
"Please explain."
Even Astarudi looked directly at Rozen and made such a request.
Only Yusha spoke as if she remembered something.
"Speaking of which, Yao-kun always has a hard time during the Billowing Wave Courtyard's festival."
Chi Sha spoke with a tone of ridicule, as if she was watching a good show, but there was also some inexplicable dissatisfaction in her tone. In the end, there was a helpless sympathy, causing many of the girls present to feel a little puzzled.
Rozen didn't explain and just sighed.
"I hope this year doesn't turn into a bloodbath."
So Rozen sincerely prayed.
