Gaiden – The Great Festival of Candy and Goltang! # One
This is the story of a day some time has passed since the Massive Mushroom Incident in Mercyrup Village.
The story begins with a small, playful anniversary.
“I am the spooky witch Punchnoy… ! If you don’t give them candy, they’re giving you goosebumps… !”
“You are the famous Punchno. Here, get some candy. I’ll put it in the basket.”
👌👌👌👌
“That Punchnoy has already received a basket full of candy… ! No other nymph in the world has ever received more Halloween candy than that Punchnoy… !”
Punchnoy, a nymph with a cone hat, shouted loudly, like the witches of the Northern Witch Forest.
Around such Punchnoy, imps and nymphs with bandages wrapped around their bodies or with loud makeup on their faces like clowns are roaming around.
The make-up ranged from a mummy, a scary pierrot, or a goblin monster, to a terrifying thief or a bat man, and it felt like the street of Angmar had become a dungeon.
“I am a mummy mormor… ! If you don’t give me candy, I’m going to eat you up… ! It is the curse of awareness that makes you aware of breathing, blinking, and swallowing saliva… !”
“This body tartar is disguised as a ghost covered with a furoshiki… ! So I’m going to put out a bunch of candy right away… !”
Imps and nymphs dressed as monsters and ghosts and little children go from door to door and knock on the door.
Smart-, strange profit.
Homeowners and shopkeepers put candies prepared in advance into their baskets one by one.
“Happy Halloween. This is red ginseng candy.”
“Hey… ! Not red ginseng candy, but delicious honey candy… ! The theme of red ginseng candy is similar to other candies, so it’s hard to tell them apart… !”
The streets also sell a variety of merchandise made for this bizarre and spooky festival.
– We sell pumpkins. I am selling pumpkins for Halloween decoration.
– We also sell holy water and amulets to decorate the house on the Day of the Dead.
There are many vendors selling pumpkins and other religious symbols on the streets. In particular, pumpkin was a wonderful object that was used both for eating and for decoration.
“Comrade, look at this! This pumpkin soup will be delicious if you cook it! Eat the inside with the sisters and use the outside as a lantern decoration… !”
Marmar, who was walking next to me, also found a great pumpkin, so she quickly bought it and tapped the inside of the shell with her hand.
I said.
“Marmar, you already bought a bunch of pumpkins. Can I buy it again?”
“No matter how much you buy a pumpkin, it’s not enough! If you put a glowstone inside and see it at night, it will really shine!”
That seems to be the case. In fact, the day of the dead or Halloween that we are experiencing doesn’t really start until night falls.
During the festival that lasts for several days, at night, people in all kinds of makeup and musicians on the street make a tumultuous riot, the day that causes the loud noise.
The days when masked people sometimes rob and cause problems and troubles—it was my impression of the Day of the Dead.
Still, I feel good about this year’s festival because I can enjoy it to my heart’s content without worrying about various things. Do you like wearing makeup too?
Imps and nymphs were excited and dressed up.
Then I suddenly realized that Marmar, who was wagging her tail with a pumpkin by my side, was not wearing any makeup unlike the other imps.
“Marmar, can you not dress up as a monster or a monster? It’s a long-awaited festival, so it’s good to dress up and hang out with everyone.”
“me? I’m dressed up too!”
Marmar exclaimed curiously. Marmar has already put on makeup. I didn’t notice it at all. What did you dress up with? doppelganger?
As I was wondering for a while, Marmar said.
“I dressed up as a goblin! It also has a pointed tail! What do you think!”
Marmar with a bouncing tail.
Is it more of an Imp? Looking back, it reminds me of the fact that Imps are sometimes classified as monsters. But what if an imp dresses up as an imp?
If Marmar is a good thing, is it that way?
“What a wonderful makeup!”
That was when I exaggerated.
“Uh-huh, that’s actually a joke. I also prepared a cool outfit for you! I will wear it on the last night of the festival, and I will definitely show it to my comrades!”
“I see.”
“Ah-! Pumpkin over there! Well then, comrade! I’m busy, so I’ll just go! Tartar, Mormor! Stop collecting candy, buy pumpkins and go back to work!”
“Hey… ! This body tartar makes me want to stop eating pumpkin porridge… !”
“It’s okay to eat pumpkin syrup every day you don’t know… !”
The Imps vanished into the throng of noisy people. Left alone on the wide and noisy street, I moved and headed towards the Angmar Royal Palace.
Angmar Royal Castle was also decorated with pointed decorations, skulls, and pumpkins on the occasion of the Day of the Dead.
It looks like a theme park during the day, but at night it looks like a very eerie castle. It seemed that it would not be strange even if a fearsome demon lord was living there.
However, strictly speaking, it is the place where I, the Soma King, live, so the Demon King was right.
There is Ai, a witch, and Narmina Mirna, a necromancer, also lives there. There are also elves.
Even if it’s not a festival, every day in Angmar’s castle is Halloween.
With that thought in mind, as I was about to enter the castle gate, knights dressed in pointed armor and decorated like demon king soldiers blocked me in front of me.
“… … ?”
It’s been a long time since soldiers stopped me, so when I’m feeling suspicious. They rummaged through the leather bag they were carrying and put some candy in my hand.
“Taeoh, there is an order from the Queen to give candy unconditionally to the nymphs and imps when they enter the palace… .”
“Please know that I never looked down on you or did anything… .”
I see I am the half-elf of the ditch.
So, according to Aira’s bizarre festival policy, the candy was received. But the guards seemed a little intimidated by the fact that I had to be treated like a child.
To lighten their shoulders, I exclaimed curiously.
“Then I’ll give you two more… !”
It was only then that I could vaguely feel the tension on the faces of the guards who were hidden under the heavy helmets. I got a bunch of candy from them and went into the palace.
Every time the court maids, gardeners, and servants saw me, they kept giving me candy, and my inventory, «Squirrel Storage», was so full.
Of course it feels good.
I’ll secretly eat it all by myself later.
Hi-Hi.
* * *
The spacious terrace right in front of the queen’s bedroom was still covered with fresh grass even though winter was approaching.
A table and parasol were placed on the grass. The young girls sitting around the round table look like a bunch of flowers blooming late in autumn.
“I’m home.”
I approached them and greeted them lightly. Then, with a drowsy expression, Aira, who seemed to have been half-dozing, slowly opened her eyes and said:
“So, how are you? What is the distance of Monarch City?”
“Everyone seems to be enjoying the festival. There didn’t seem to be any problems. Thanks to the starch syrup brought in from the marsh syrup village, the supply price of candy has also stabilized.”
At my report, all the young girls nodded their heads. In the strained tension, I was able to take a closer look at them.
The first thing he saw was Narmi wearing an old-fashioned and stylish ebony cloak.
“Narmi-sama, this is a wonderful makeup look.”
“Once upon a time, the Draco family vampire! Did you know that Vlad von Draco, the 5th head of state, stabbed people to death?”
Has there ever been such a terrifying villain in the history of the Draco family? To Narmi’s story, who seemed to be proud of something, Stella, who wore a long-brimmed hat and leather clothes like a western gunslinger, said:
“I was subjugated by the hunter Ephraim van Helsing. I dressed up as that Hellsing.”
They all had small heads and slender arms and legs, so any makeup suited them very well like a model. What kind of makeup did Elgar wear?
“Did Elgar dress up as a big-breasted Wear Lion human? The animal ears fit very well.”
“Wanna die? I’m Chupacabra Can’t you see by pretending?”
what about chupa I do not know. He just looks like a person with animal ears. Leonoi, in Elgar’s arms, is wearing a small horned headband.
“Leonoi also dressed up as a goblin.”
Leonoi laughs as he pokes the ball.
“Girl.”
Okay, everyone seems to be doing well. Now my eyes turned to Aira.
Aira was wearing quite exaggerated eye makeup and a heart-shaped neck collar behind her head. It’s probably dressed up as the Queen of Hearts from the fairy princess Elise’s story.
“You have become a wonderful Queen of Hearts.”
“Fufu, as expected, Tae-oh has an eye. Tae-oh, you have a great makeup too.”
“… I didn’t wear any makeup?”
“so? I thought it was a cool fairy half-fairy makeup. I heard that there are a lot of people in Angmar wearing white robes that mimic Teo Gospel.”
That’s right.
I am a celebrity in this world. In the past, people pointed at me as if I had taken a drug that was hated, but these days I am welcomed by everyone like a nobleman.
Anyway.
“Tonight there will be a masquerade at the court. He, Prince Reinhardt and Aslan will also participate. I heard that most of the lords of the western region also attend.”
So everyone, don’t miss out and join in – I told my wives about that. As everyone nodded, I noticed that Miss Mirna was not present.
“Where is Mirna? I think I should tell Mirna too… .”
At my question, Miss Narmi raises her hand.
“It’s Halloween! Is your sister not going to be able to attend the ball because she is busy?”
“Is there any reason Mirna-sama is busy on Halloween?”
“That’s right, at this festival of the dead, the people of the Draco family… .”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi was trying to explain something while raising her index finger. Then, as if thinking of something, he briefly shouts “Ah!” and then laughs.
“Heh, just ask your sister about it!”
I wish I could just let you know. Still haven’t been able to get rid of the grievances about staying out at the Mercyrup Village? Looking at his face, it doesn’t seem like that.
Reluctantly, I set out in search of Miss Mirna, who was somewhere in this Angmar Royal Castle.
“Let’s go too! After all, I have to talk to my sister too!”
Miss Narmi follows me after that.
