Gaiden – The Great Festival of Candy and Goltang! # 2
I feel strongly these days.
There is a big turning point in a person’s life. Is it necessary to say that there are cases of change and effort as if trying to become a completely different person due to some event?
If we take a light example, we can give an example of graduating or entering a school.
Imp Mormor entered the upcoming Imp winter camp and said, “I’m going to graduate from Imp school and become a new me… !” as if he were fervent.
A person was a being who could strive to become a better person if there was any opportunity. At least I think so. If there is an opportunity, everyone has the potential to change into a better person.
In that sense, marriage is a big event.
Marriage was an event that was sufficient and overflowing to change a person because it greatly changed a person’s living environment and circumstances.
In fact, after Irana and Elgar got married, her person changed quite a bit. Aira’s heart had a little more leeway, and in Elgar’s case, it felt a little more round and round.
on the other side.
There are some people who don’t change that much even if they get married. Mirna von Draco, the one I’m talking about now, was that kind of person.
“weird. Your sister must be working around here?”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi looked around Mirna’s office in one of the spacious Angmar Royal Palaces, looking for her sister.
Since Mirna works almost without holidays before or after marriage, it was the most effective and best way to find her in her office or nearby if she wanted to meet her.
If my reality was in a game, it is said that when I choose the ‘office’ to meet Mirna, nine out of ten I will be able to meet. Then we will talk to each other and the likeability will increase.
By the way.
Today, I couldn’t find Mirna even in the office.
Did you go for a walk nearby?
It’s natural to want to go for a walk if you sit in a chair every day and look at the letters.
In particular, Angmar’s palace gardens were rumored to be beautiful, so there was a corner where you could relax your body and mind just walking.
So we searched the palace gardens near the office and beyond to find Mirna. However, Mirna’s figure is nowhere to be seen.
“Miss Mirna, are you here?”
I pretended not to be Mirna and looked for the Imp Dessert Room, which I secretly like, but I couldn’t find it. Still, I thought I might not know, so I asked the court patissier, Sugar Water Nymph Sugarnoy.
“Have you not seen Mirna?”
“Miss Mirna would not be here… ! It’s been a few days since I haven’t seen Mirna… ! The cakes I made for Mirna are spoiled… !”
Among the young girls, Mirna liked to eat dessert more than anyone.
When her father, Aleister Draco, was head of state, it was not easy to eat even a single candy.
Whether she wants to try all the things she couldn’t enjoy at that time, or taste various kinds of desserts and write notes to leave their evaluations, Mirna’s only luxuries hobby is to write.
When I was dating Mirna like that, I toured the dessert restaurants in Monarch City.
The face I loved still lingers in my eyes. I’m also a half-elf, so I especially liked sweets, so our tastes matched well.
That Mirna didn’t come to the dessert room for a few days?
Although I’ve been busy lately, I’ve come to reflect a little on my lack of interest in Mirna.
Miss Mirna, I feel like I’m good at everything, so I can’t say I’m a reliable eldest daughter.
So I guess I didn’t pay much attention to it.
match.
I slapped my cheeks with my palms to calm myself down.
Harem men shouldn’t be like that. If you neglect your wife as five, you are not qualified as a harem man. Because if you have five wives, you have to work five times as hard.
Examine yourself and think about where Mirna might be. Neither the office nor the dessert room, where Mirna von Draco is most likely to be… .
* * *
“There was a place like this in the palace!”
I answered lightly to Narmi who was walking around.
“It is a rare place to come. It is usually neglected, but it is still a necessary place.”
The Palace of Angmar is literally a palace.
It is the place where the kings of successive generations lived, and it can be said that there are most of the facilities and buildings necessary for human life.
Human beings are born, live and die. Everything up to that point was all within the high and strong walls of the royal palace, so of course there was a cemetery.
Angmar’s tomb is called a mausoleum and is well placed in a corner of the palace.
Since they are people of the Angmar family who prefer the burial ceremony rather than the burial ceremony, quite a few generations are all in one of the neat marble buildings.
As a descendant of Angmar, for me, they are all distant grandfathers or relatives. To be honest, I’ve never met him, so it’s just plain dull.
So why am I talking about graveyards like this now? Because there is no better place to find a Draco person than a cemetery.
“You were here too.”
“Sir Tae-oh. What’s going on here?”
Mirna, who was walking around the ossuary of the Angmar family, noticed me and tilted her head. On that white face, quite long dark circles came down unsuitably.
said Narmi.
“Sister, why don’t you stay here and enjoy Halloween together!”
“Narmi. Halloween isn’t just about dressing up and laughing and talking. You don’t know how important Day of the Dead is to us Draco people?”
To Mirna’s bruise, Narmi immediately replies, “I don’t know!” About him, Mirna says, “I don’t know.” She frowned.
“On the Day of the Dead, the frequency of spirit and soul is disturbed. You said you should always be nervous. What is that strange cloak?”
“vampire!”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi raises her nails and threatens with a bang. Of course, Mirna wiped her face with a feeling of being quite tired.
“So, Sir Tae-oh, what’s going on with this ossuary?”
“No, I just have a masquerade tonight. Most of the relatives of the Lioness family participate, so Ms. Mirna would also like to attend.”
“masquerade… , Surely there are plenty of delicious desserts, right? There must be a lot of people with nice makeup on.”
Mirna’s ruby-colored eyes shone like pomegranate grains in the sunlight for a moment. It was time for me to let go of my breath as I looked at the look of much anticipation.
“… But as you can see, making time is not easy. Draco’s housekeepers are especially busy on Day of the Dead. Especially this year.”
I don’t know, but Mirna didn’t seem to be able to afford it.
“Will I be able to check all these ossuary before this evening… . Someone has to take care of the mausoleum today.”
I asked.
“Is it necessary to manage the mausoleum today?”
“It’s today. Its meaning has changed a lot now. Day of the Dead is the day with the strongest yin in the year. On such a day, the balance between the world of the dead and the real world can become imbalanced, causing problems.”
So, it seems that the people of the Draco family in charge of the graveyard circulate around the tomb from generation to generation to lead the dead and spirits to the right place.
“Especially, the ossuary of Angmar is in poor condition because it has been neglected for a long time. Clean and check one by one. I wish I had two bodies.”
“Your sister and I have two bodies!”
“But you don’t help.”
That’s right.
For Mirna, the days that would pass as laughter and lively festivals to others are an extension of her work. The situation is very pitiful.
I asked.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Because this is my job. It’s also Narmi’s job. Narmi doesn’t even think about helping.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi frowns as if she’s tired of the words that subtly notice.
“Because you don’t have to do this. Who in the world checks the tombs one by one? All you need to do is attach this new amulet.”
“Narmi, it’s still a tradition that puts great effort and dedication… .”
“Your sister is too conservative—”
Mirna and Narmi started arguing with each other about family affairs. It was a bit of a break-in because it was kind of incomprehensible to me.
All I can do is hand the paper box containing the pieces of cake I received from the dessert room earlier to Mirna.
“Then, eat this and do it.”
“Thank you, Sir Tae-oh. After all, the only thing that thinks of me is Sir Tae Oh. Narmi, the younger brother who was born and raised as one body, answers everything.”
wow.
“Hey! Mirna, are you pinching my side right now!?”
“Narmi, did you say you were your sister right now!?”
The bitter fight between the sisters continued for a long time after that.
* * *
“My sister is so stubborn. What era are you still sticking to the old way? When did the magic tablet come out, and I still sign them on paper.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi, who had been arguing with Mirna for a while, saw a lot of her sister’s scars on me.
In terms of the family’s management policy, Mirna has a strong emphasis on tradition, and Narmi is a convenienceist, so there seem to be a lot of conflicting parts.
“When are you going to check the graves one by one and purify them all? Besides this ossuary, there are many tombs in the palace. I can’t finish it this evening by doing it alone.”
“Are there other tombs besides this ossuary?”
“There are plenty! There are several bones buried in the garden. There are a few tombs on the back side of the chapel’s entrance or on the terrace. An abandoned cemetery with no tombstones… !”
“I had no idea. How do you know Narmi so well?”
“Yeah, I’m from the Draco family. I wanted to help my sister. I didn’t even know that, and my sister thought I was just playing!”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi continues to grunt.
“Is your sister really stupid? For today’s masquerade, I worked hard to prepare costumes, so I won’t be able to attend.”
I heard from Narmi that Mirna worked hard to prepare the costumes for tonight’s masquerade at the court banquet hall.
Although she did not express it, Mirna also seemed to want to enjoy today’s festival.
Originally, Mirna was good at pretending not to be. However, you may not have a chance to try on the clothes you have worked so hard for only because you are busy like today. Mirna must be very disappointed.
Worried, I asked Narmi.
“How can we help Ms. Mirna? If we help out, Mirna may even be able to participate in the ball today.”
“Ugh… , not that there is no way. You might see a bunch of spooky ghosts. Are you okay?”
I nodded my head once.
So Narmi and I, along with some imps and nymphs, got together to form a graveyard party for the Halloween festival.
