Today's weather was very suitable for holding a festival.
Perhaps it was because they were in the countryside, the night sky was clear and bright. One could clearly see the twinkling stars in the sky. In the city, this was a rare sight.
Under such a night sky, there would be countless fireworks blooming. Just thinking about it would make people feel relaxed and happy, and they would secretly look forward to it.
Naturally, the lively atmosphere of the festival was also very enjoyable.
The Flower and Fire Festival was held at the side of the shrine.
It was a riverbank next to a river.
At this moment, there were many stalls lined up on the riverbank.
"Takoyaki! Very delicious takoyaki! "
"Freshly made meatballs!"
"Target practice, target practice! You will get a prize if you hit it! "
"You can catch goldfish here! Come and take a look! "
At the stalls, the stall owners let out enthusiastic greetings, causing loud shouts to rise one after another, first creating a lively atmosphere.
The lively atmosphere seemed to have raised the temperature of the summer by a little. Coupled with the music of the festival, the children kept running around in laughter. The adults were also fully enjoying themselves. There were also many young girls in bathrobes, appearing much more elegant and quiet than usual.
"Over here! Come over here! "
Tiger Spring took the lead and waved to the crowd.
"Don't be like this. It's embarrassing."
Dong 'er sighed. She put her hands in her pockets and acted like a hooligan. However, she still obediently walked forward when Tiger Spring called her.
As for Natsume, she grabbed Rozen's hand and pointed to a place.
"What's that?"
"Takoyaki."
"It looks delicious."
"Why? You haven't eaten it before? "
"No, no."
"Then let's go and buy it."
Rozen brought Natsume to the takoyaki stall and bought a few skewers of takoyaki. Not only did he give Natsume, but he also gave Tiger Spring and Dong 'er a skewer each.
Things like this had been happening since the beginning.
Natsume held a Takoyaki in one hand and a Tonggong Yaki in the other. While eating the snacks in his hand quietly, his eyes sparkled as he looked at the stalls around him.
He looked like a child who was visiting a festival for the first time.
This surprised Rozen.
"I say, Natsume" So Rozen couldn't help but ask: "Have you never visited a festival before?"
That should be impossible, right?
Other festivals aside, the Flower and Fire Festival was held once a year. How could Natsume not have visited it?
However, looking at Natsume's current behavior, Rozen could only suspect it.
Unfortunately, Rozen's suspicion was correct.
"I … I have never visited a festival before."
Xia Mu lowered his head and said these words with a red face, as if he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
"It can't be?"
Rozen was really surprised.
Seeing this, Spring Tiger spoke up.
"Natsume has never participated in festivals before. If she's not hiding at home, she's studying spells at home. Even when I invited her, she wouldn't come."
Spring Tiger revealed this past.
"She really has the demeanor of a top student."
Wang Dong 'er teased him subconsciously.
This caused the embarrassed blush on Xia Mu's face to disappear, and it was replaced by indignation.
"Learning spells has always been something that requires constant perseverance, especially when you're young. If you don't build a solid foundation, your future achievements will be very low." Natsume retorted: "Since I've decided to become a Onmyoji, I have to work hard. I don't have time to participate in festivals."
That should be one of the reasons, right?
Admittedly, with Natsume's personality, it wasn't impossible for her to do something like that. But apart from that, Natsume's fear of strangers was another important reason.
Letting such a person like Natsume come to such a lively festival was indeed a bit difficult for her.
Not to mention...
"I remember you saying that if Qiu Guan didn't come, you wouldn't want to come either, right?"
Spring Tiger pointed out this point without any rhyme or reason.
"Oh? So that's the reason? "
Dong Er's interest was piqued.
"Uh..."
Rozen was speechless.
He hadn't expected Natsume to become a child who hadn't even participated in a festival because of him.
Was this considered a grave sin?
Rozen reflected on himself.
"No, it's not like that!" Natsume was a little flustered. She hurriedly said, "It's because Qiu Guan must be working hard to learn spells when I'm participating in the festival. That's why I have to be strict with myself!"
This was Natsume's explanation.
It was a pity that her explanation only earned her mocking looks from Spring Tiger and Dong Er. Her face flushed red once more, and she retorted with all her might.
Even so …
"You haven't participated in a festival, have you? Qiu Guan? "
Spring Tiger turned to Rozen, and Rozen's mouth twitched.
Seeing this, Dong Er grinned, as if she had found a handle on him.
"I didn't expect this. The genius of the family is actually a young master who hasn't seen much of the world."
Dong Er was provoking him.
However, Rozen couldn't refute her.
He had no choice.
Even though he had lived for several decades, Rozen had never participated in a festival.
This was the tragedy of being stuck at home.
"What festival? It's too boring."
Rozen could only remain silent for a moment before he retorted.
"This kid really knows how to find an excuse."
Dong Er was speechless.
Because Rozen had displayed his abilities as a Yin-Yang Master earlier, Dong Er had thought that Rozen couldn't be underestimated. Now that the contrast was so huge, Dong Er was speechless.
"That's true."
Even Natsume was laughing. This made Rozen extremely unhappy.
At this moment...
"Hahaha."
Spring Tiger laughed. Moreover, it was a very happy laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Brother?"
"Why are you laughing like that?"
Rozen, Natsume, and Dong Er were stunned as they looked at Spring Tiger.
"Nothing, nothing."
Spring Tiger waved his hand. Even though he said that, he was still very happy.
Following this...
"Hey, don't you think we're fated?"
The Spring Tiger grinned as he said those words.
"Spring Tiger."
"Natsume."
"Qiu Guan."
"Dong 'er."
Spring Tiger read out everyone's names one by one and said with a smile.
"The four of us add up to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter."
As he spoke until here, Spring Tiger's tone was filled with indescribable joy and happiness.
This joy and happiness made Rozen, Natsume, and Dong 'er look at each other.
Following that, the crowd burst into laughter.
At this moment, the four of them seemed to be much closer to each other because of Spring Tiger.
This made Rozen smile to himself.
This stupid tiger is still the same as before. He's only good at building good relationships with others.
Rozen thought to himself.
"Alright." Spring Tiger said contentedly, "The fireworks will be released soon. Let's go to the riverside to watch."
Everyone immediately nodded with a smile.
In the next second...
"Sorry to disturb you."
