Hurrying back to the city, we happened to be in time for the festival that was held at night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After pulling a random villager to ask, Akai and I finally got a little understanding of what the villagers were running around the street doing, and it turned out that they were preparing props for the [Ghost Fire Festival].

The Oni Fire Festival is a very unique festival, although we don't know what it means to hold the Oni Fire Festival on the same day as the cherry blossom festival, which happens to be held on the night of the cherry blossom festival.

But that doesn't stop us from participating in the festival.

As the saying goes, it's all about participation.

"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day!" I said.

Akai nodded, of course there are festivals to attend, this is one of the few entertainment in this world.

"Ah, it looks like a place to sign up, let's hurry over." I pointed to a very prominent stall where a villager was in front of a table with paper and pen on it. As soon as you look at it, you can see that it is the place to sign up.

"I always feel like it's going to be full if I don't sign up now!" Akai looked at the busy villagers around him.

I said decisively, "Then what are you waiting for, go quickly." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Akai and ran towards the registration point over there.

The so-called Ghost Fire Festival, after our initial understanding, also has a certain understanding.

Just like a real-world test of courage, the Ghost Fire Festival is similar to such a festival.

On the other hand, the Courage Test, a traditional Japanese festival that is held on summer nights, is simply a test of one's mettle by going to a scary place.

Instead, this so-called Ghost Fire Festival is held on a spring night.

And the content is not a test of courage like a test of courage.

It looks like I'm looking for something.

"In other words, in this city and the surrounding areas outside the city, [Ghost Fire] has been placed, and then the people who sign up go to look for it, isn't this just looking for something." I looked at the instruction manual.

In other words, there are more ghost fires than anyone else.

[Ghost Fire], this is a very special flame in the bamboo mod.

The materials for crafting ghost fire are very rare.

A large amount of lapis lazuli, combined with bamboo baskets and pumpkins, can be synthesized through the tool table, and six ghost fires can be synthesized at a time.

Lapis lazuli is hard to come by, technically only a little more likely than diamonds, so it's a luxury.

This kind of flame will be fine even if you hold it in your hand, it will not feel hot, but it will have a cold feeling.

The color of the flame is azure, and the outer flame is a dark blue flame.

There was no medium of combustion, and there was no special torch stuck underneath, and this flame, like a rootless fire, was very strangely suspended in the air, emitting a light that was not weaker than that of a torch.

In other words, it is also a special kind of illuminated object.

Moreover, Ghost Fire has a characteristic.

The reason why ghost fire is called ghost fire is because if you don't have one ghost fire in your hand, you can't see other ghost fires, you can only see a place that is very brightly illuminated, but you don't know the source of illumination.

"I see"

"Well, let's see what the rewards look like?" Akai asked curiously, then took the manual in my hand and flipped it back.

Syllable!

Akai closed the book heavily, and then said firmly to me, "You have to win!" ”

"Huh?"

"The prize for the Ghost Fire Festival is five diamonds!"

“！！！！”

"And even if you don't get the first place, the second place prize is the number of all seed groups." Akai took a deep breath and said the reward for second place.

Damn it! Why does it seem to me that the reward for second place is better than for first place?

I slapped my forehead, we don't lack anything now, but we lack seeds for arable land, and the seeds we buy from the villagers are too few and expensive, and we have to save as many seeds as we can at the moment when the fields have not yet been built.

But on second thought, those five diamonds are very important to us, so we can directly craft a [Diamond Pickaxe] to dig up obsidian, and then use the remaining two diamonds to make [Enchantment Table].

"Why is it that the villagers only have such a high IQ when they are trading, they can't even bargain, and every time we do a loss-making business."

"Well, don't say that, anyway, it's better to make the most of that gold than to leave it moldy." Akai waved his hand.

The more I thought about it, the more I lost money, and I held the square glasses on the bridge of my nose with one hand, and there was a bright light.

"Shall we become messengers of the night and retrieve our things one night?"

I said something terrible with a black line on my face.

Akai squinted.

"Police officer Shu Huang is this person!"

"You're an accomplice."

"Go aside!"

Theoretically, if we don't find out, we can trade during the day, steal our gold nuggets back at night, and then come back the next day to trade.

But after thinking about it, forget it, it's better not to do this kind of petty theft and lack of morality, and you can't get over it psychologically.

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――――

After registering, I waited at the tavern while drinking, and after an hour of waiting, the sun finally set completely.

The lights in the city, with the stars in the sky, the whole city glows with a different kind of charm, which is the charm of a different world civilization.

"Wow, there are so many people." I looked around at the villagers, and it was bustling.

"Everyone who signed up for the competition is here, there are about 100 people, what should I do, Xia?" Akai narrowed his eyes at me and asked, I understood what Akai meant.

This dangerous look told me what Akai was thinking.

Are we playing yin or yin or yin・・・・・・

For example, when you hide in the grass and see someone coming, you jump out and yell 'Hallelujah', and then knock the target unconscious to the ground and take away the ghost fire from the body.

If we kill everyone like this, then we can take the first and second all, so that the rewards can be obtained.

Hehehehe・・・・・

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hey, put away your smile, the malice is overflowing!" Akai grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me, shaking me out of my delusions.

"Huh? Yes! ”

"Ah, your sister, it's about to start."

Following Akai's words, we and the rest of the contestants stood at the starting point on the street.

This year's Ghost Fire Festival has a total of four hours to find the ghost fire.

Everyone had a ghost fire in their hands before they set off, after all, without this, they would not be able to see other ghost fires at all, and they would not be able to touch other ghost fires.

However, there are no detailed rules for this, as long as the number of ghost fires is the most after four hours of assembly, the winner will be won.

"It's a simple and violent rule, but I like it, Akai, let these villagers know our strength!"

"I want to avenge the fact that I have been cheated in the past two weeks!" Akai said with a lot of spirit.

One, two・・・・・・

As the muskets rang out, symbolizing the beginning, everyone, including me and Akai, rushed out in all directions.

Akai and I looked at each other.

In four hours, knock over everyone and get all the ghost fires!

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――

Bad joke time: 100 ghosts walk at night, 100 people walk on the street in the middle of the night looking for ghost fires.
